Washington, Feb 24.-P)-Propo-
nents Of the administration shipping
bill demonstrated their superior
strength in the senate but their eff
forts only served to pave the way for
the death of the legislation on Mon
day.
Those supporting the measure, al
though openly conceding 1t to be
doomed. defeated the opponents on
two roll calls by the Identical vote
Of &c to 3S. One vote was on a mo-
ton by Senator Robinson Of Arkan-
sas. the acting democratic leader. The
second was on the motion to proceed
with the bill, which motion was made
Wednesday night after the measure
had been laid aside to permit action
on two conference reports.
Thus the shipping bill was tempor-
arily revived but Senator Robinson
! Immediately presented a motion to
send the bill back to the commerce
committee and TO Its death. This mo-
ton was by agreement left pending
when the senate adjourned for the
day and will come to a vote soon az.
ter i Monday afternoon.
