Agreement Reached to Side

The ship subsidy BILL bearing
the charmed life of a Legislative
cat, was back before the Senate
today although its opponents have
held public funeral in its honor.

The Senate was more concerned,
however, with the legislative jam
than with the fate of the subsidy.
The filibuster, staged for week by
coalition Battalion of DEATH" re.
suited in tieup of such proportions
that only day and night sessions can
relieve the situation. BY actual
count, 1877 bills and As resolutions
remain on the Senate calendar for
final disposition with only five days
left before adjournment.
Owing to the jam, even Admins
tration leaders were anxious to get
rid OF the subsidy and gentlemen g
agreement" was reached to deal the
bill its final deathblow during he
day. The same arrangement has
prevailed since Saturday, but the bill
managed to hold tenaciously to life,
even though its supporters and op.
ponents were agreed on the funeral
plans.
Ship Board Cared For.
Death Of the subsidy bill will not
affect the United States Shipping
Board or the Emergency Fleet for
another year, 1t was declared by Sen.
ator Jones Rep) of Washington,
who led the subsidy fight. An ap-
preparation Of $50, 900 900 has already
been made by Congress to carry the
Shipping Board through the present
fiscal year to June 80, 1924. Before
this period expires, Congress will re-
convene and a new plan of action
probably will be submitted for its
approval. All hope Of enacting the
present measure. even in an amended
form, has been abandoned by Senate
leaders.
The deathblow will be dealt the
subsidy by passage of a motion dis
placing it with the Ladd FILLED

on the Robinson motion to recon-
NIT the subsidy, which will be re-
jected by the Senate as a final trib-

called administration measures re-
main on the calendar and none is
expected to meet opposition. They
are the Redistribution bill, the

Farm Bloc Bills in jam.
The crowded calendar gave Sena-
tors serious concern, for there are
three farm bloc measures still
awaiting enactment. These are the
McNary standard container bill, the
Capper truth in fabric measure and
the Gooding wheat Standardization

forty-six resolutions ranging from
a prayer" for peace in Ireland to

MISS OF II ARRESTED FOR
STICKING TONGUE AT COP

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Primary
A. Brown, seventeen, of Rosemont,
knows by this time that it doesn't
do to stick ones tongue out at the
majesty Of the law in Haverford
Township, as represented by Po-
liceman Schaeffer.
When the policeman stopped a
machine and began to reprimand
the party of autoists for being too
boisterous, Miss Mary, being quite
contrary, stuck out what undoubt-
eddy was a very pert little tongue.
1t was too much for Schaeffer,
and last night Miss Mary found
herself lined up in the Oakmont >po-
lice station, before Magistrate Cum
bingham.
Miss Mary was told never, never
to put out her tongue, however
pretty 1t might be, in the face of a
policeman. She was discharged.

Justice Hoehling, Of the District
Supreme Court. today dismissed the
applications for writs OF habeas
corpus filed by two white and four
colored men who sought to evade
to serve Police Court sentences,
and who attacked the right of that
tribunal to try them. The accused
had been sentenced to varying
terms in the Jail.
The sentence did not contain q
hprovision for hard labor, nor were
lsthey confined in an institution
where hard labor is required. The
court pointed out that the recent
decision of the Court of Appeals
in the Cleveland case was in force.
Counsel for the accused noted an
appeal, but the court declined to
permit them to supersede the judg.
ment and the men went back to
Jail again.
The men in question are described
as Walter Wade Davis, accused of
