M'NARY TO HOLD SEAT I i -Jl VI i . 1 I X- BILL PROMISED SHORTLY indications Are That When Farm Aid Measure Appears It "Will Have Right of Way, WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 12. Prompt enactment of the adminis tration shipping bill was urged in the senate and at the White House today, but at the same time indica tions grew stronger that the meas ure migh soon be laid aside by the senate in favor of rural credits leg islation. Developments in connection with these two major pieces of legisla tion came thick and fast at the sen ate wing of the capitol and were supplemented by the declaration at the White House that President Harding believed the merchant ma rine measure should be disposed of before any other legislation was taken up by the senate. The presi dent, It was further asserted, held the view that the country was en titled to have a decision with re epect to the measure without undue delay. Almost simultaneously with this declaration was the announcement by Senator Jones, republican, Wash ington, in charge of the shipping bill, that he would agree to lay aside his measure temporarily should ad vocates of rural credits legislation be able to bring before the senate a bill in which there was a consid erable degree of unanimity. He added later in the day in the course of an extended address in behalf of the shipping bill the opening state ment for proponents of the mer chant marine measure that "there fs no legislation we can pass except possibly a rural credits bill that will benefit the farmers more than this bill o afford transportation across the ocean for their products." Foen of Subsidy Confer. The announcement by Senator Jones of his willingness to lay aside temporarily the shipping bill was preceded by a series of confer ences between democratic and re publican opponents of the ship meas ure, during which the stronger ad vocates of farm relief legislation in both parties were enlisted in the support of a proposal that a motion be made as soon as a rural credits bill was reported from committee to take up the farm measure and to tlisplace the merchant marine legis lation. Senator Fletcher of Florida, rank ing democrat on the commerce com mittee, leader of the farm bloc, and Senators La Follette of Wisconsin and Brookhart of Iowa, republican members of the new progressive bloc, conducted these conferences and tonight announced they had 58 senators, or considerably more than a majority, to support the move. Hearings Already Begun. How saon the move might be made was a question tonight, al though rural credits legislation was much to the fore about the senate throughout the day. The banking snd curr ency committee, to..- which most of the half-dozen or more rural credit bills have been referred, liepan consideration of the measures before it with the hearing of some of the proponents. Further hear ings will be held tomorrow and it was indicated that it probably -would be 10 days or two weeks be fore a measure could be reported. The agriculture committee, which also is considering credits legisla tion, heard additional members of a delegation from the northwestern states upon the Norris bill to estab lish a government-capitalized cor poration to buy and sell farm prod ucts and upon the Ladd bill to stabilize prices of the major agri cultural products- Witnesses strong ly indorsed the Ladd bill, declaring its enactment must go hand in hand with credits legislation if the farm ers of' the northwest were to be benefited. TWO GET EARLY WEDDING Couples Awake County Clerk at 2 O'Clook In Morning. VANCOUVER. Wash., Dec. 12. (Special.) To tell prospective can didates for orange blossoms during office hours that the county clerk does not issue marriage licenses is quite different from telling them the same thing: after midnight on a cold winter's morning.
