 IS ON TODAY
Brief Lull Created Late Yes terday Afternoon-Mo-
 tons Up Today.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-A lull in the filibuster was created late yes tcrday afternoon when the shipping bill was temporarily laid aside for consideration of the conference re- port on the Army and District of O. lumbia appropriation bills. Following the adoption of the reports a motion was passed to recess until today.
 The Senate now has before 1t Senator Jones's motion to take up the shipping bill which by last nights move supplants Senator Ladd's motion to consider the milk measure.
 Senator Borah speaking late yes- terday in the tilibuster discussed in- ternal conditions declaring this re- lated to the shipping bill because something to carry in ships was more important than the ship subsidy.
