which he declared proved the condi

challenged the Democrats to answer
his statement. Majority members re
fused to be drawn into a tariff de
bate, however, ignoring the challenges
with weary, apathetic silence.
When, at 9 o'clock this-morning. Sen
ator Smoot concluded his lH4-hour
speech, he was relieved . by Senator
Sutherland, whose assertion that Gov
ernment operation of ships could not be
Justified under the interstate commerce
clause of the Constitution, led Senator
Shields (Dem.) to ask how .he justi
fied the building of the Central Pa
cific Railroad. Senator Sutherland con
tended it was constructed as a military
measure. Senator Borah referred to
the Alaska Railroad. Senator Suther

Senate. He said that he could say
authoritatively that there was not one
scintilla of truth in the report.
Smeot Talks All Mt.
I-ate tn the day Senator William
JUden Smith, of Michigan, relieved his
Republican colleagues who had been
hold ins the floor since early morning,
when Senator Sraoot concluded his all
night speech. Senator Smith turned
his attention to the bitter arraignment
of., the Administration's policy and
painted a gloomy 'word picture of the
business condition of the country un
der the Democratic tariff. An era of
"record-breaking buslnes mortality"
had followed the enactment of that
tariff, he said, and he characterised
the shipping bill as the "fifth Admin
istration folly.""
"I don't think we have ever had a Presi
dent who was so hopeful with so little
cause as the present incumbent of the
Vhite House." he said. "From the day
he signed the tariff bill he has not let
a week go by without proclaiming that
prosperity was here."
Senator Smith read many figures
'I realize." he said, "that in this sys
tem of permanent sessions some must
watch and come must stop, and I would
not have the heart to disturb anyone's
sleep. I particularly , regret that the
President's secretary is not here at
this moment, as he was all last even
ing and again this morning
I think that since Congress has been
converted into a registry office we
ought to have with us the personal
representative of the President. Of
course it is too much to expect that the
President should be in attendance,
therefore while the watchful waiter
keeps his eyes fixed upon the red
panorama in Mexico, it Is well that his
secretary be here to see that none of
the lambs etray from the fold.
while Senator Lodge was speaking
a party of movers brought a bed to the
Capitol and had it put up In the com
mittee room of Senator Ollie James,
which is handy to one of the Senate
doors. The Kentucky Senator said he
was ready to camp there Indefinitely.
Grave Complication Predicted. -
Senator Lodge reiterated that If ln-
erned ships were bought by the United
States It would plunge the country into
nternational complications of the
gravest character. Great Britain had
already protested, he said, against the
transfer of the Dacia.
"Can the Senator tell us," queried
Senator Galllnger, "why the Dacia does
not sail?'
"The Senator asks me to rend the
veil of mystery which hangs over our
foreign relations, but I cannot do it,
answered Senator Lodge. "What
know Is that Great Britain has pro
tested against this transfer; Russia
and France have made similar pro
tests, which are now on file at the
State Department. That means that
Great Britain, France and Russia, once
such ships go to sea. will hold them
subject to capture as prizes."
Senator Lodge said he had heard the
Administration believed Great Britain.
France and Russia would not do what
they said they- would do when it came
to the point. That, he declared, is the
same mistaken theory that had sent
troops to Vera Cruz in the belief that
a landing there would not be resisted
vhen it came to the point.
"And If this course is pursued, of
buying these interned ships," Senator
Lodge concluded, I say you have
started this Nation on the highway of
war, not with one nation, but with
four."
Recess at Midnight Agreed On.
Senator Kern was on his feet as Mr.
Lodge concluded, with the first visible
effects of a draw in the long parlia
mentary battle.
I move, said he, "that the Senate
take a recess at 12 o'clock tonight un
til 10 o clock Monday morning."
l here was no dissent and the motion
prevailed by unanimous consent.
Senator Perkins declared that Gov
ernment ownership and operation of
the merchant marine would cripple and
discourage private enterprise and de
lay the day all Americans hoped to
see, when the Stars and Stripes would
wave on every sea. If the- present
emergency was as great as stated, he
said, the shipping and ' shipbuilding
men of the Nation should, be summoned
into conference.
All that the Government could take
over under this bill, he declared, would
be some 60 ships already engaged in
carrying American commerce. He added
that the present American coastwise
merchant marine was answering loy
ally to the need for oversea shipping
and there was no reason why It should
be interfered with. The Senator argued
that ships purchased must be .classed
either as private or public vessels, and
as private vessels they would lose the
Immunities and rights of public craft.
On the ether hand, he contended that
the belligerents would not grant them
freedom from search because they were
public vessels and all that would be
left to the United States would be to
ko to war to protect its rights.
Senator "Struck Dumb.
The Senate galleries gradually filled
with spectators, and as the evening
wore on many Senators who had gone
home for a brief rest returned to the
chamber, some of 'them in evening
dress.
Senator Smith's discourse covered a
wide field. Once he said:
"I heard the Secretary of the Treas
ury ask a distinguished audience at
San Diego. Cal., the other day: 'What
is the matter with the country?1 The
people who heard htm were Btruck
dumb. Nobody could answer, and final
ly the Secretary of the Treasury an
swered: 'Not a damn thing.' "
"Did I understand the Senator from
Michigan to say that he was present
and heard this?" asked Senator Chilton.
"Yes. I was present," Senator Smith
said.
And was struck dumb?" asked Sen
ator Chilton, precipitating an uproar
In the chamber galleries.
Members of Crew Who Resigned
Other Jobs to Make Historic
Voyage Taken . Una-wares by
NaTy Department Order. .
SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 30. (Special.)
The sudden announcement that the sail
ing date, February 1. of the battleship
Oregon for the Panama Canal was can
celled and that Its departure for the
grand opening ceremonies of the big
ditch was indefinitely postponed nas
left members of the veteran crew of
1898 who have resigned positions to
serve during exposition time under
their old commander la an unfortunate
'Position.
These men, who are on their way
here from Oregon, Washington, Mon
tana and Illinois, under the belief that
they will sail Monday, will find them
selves in a strange city without em
ployment. They have been instructed
to report to Adam Gill, president ot
the Veterans of the Oregon Crew of
1898, In this city. They were to ennsi
for four years In the United States
Navy with the special privilege of re
signing at pleasure. j
UTaval Par Insufficient.
The Government could pay them only
seamen's wages, or 820 a month, lnas
much as Congressional action would
have been necessary to Increase this
amount. It was obvious that some-
thin? would have to be done In add!
tlon to their Navy pay to compensate
these veterans for the salaries many
of them would have to resign to take
nart in an undertaking which had re
ceived the indorsement of Senators,
representatives, patriotic and civic
bodies all over the country and con
seauently various plans have been dis
cussed by prominent men and women,
particularly of this city.
It was found that 810,000 would be
ample to insure every living member
of the crew of 1898 an opportunity to
serve under his old commander at the
opening of the canal. Most of the men
have families and nave given up posi
tiona to make the trip.
Sailing Delayed Indennltely.
A brief conversation with any of
these men who have volunteered their
services for this cruise convinces even
the casual investigator that any benefit
in their behalf would not be a work of
charity, but, rather, a recognition of
patriotic self -sacrifice. Each one took
a personal pride in his opportunity to
show the world that, after 17 years
civil life, he could go back Into the old
ficrhting harness again. President Gill
desires to secure work for the nine
men who are here and for the 27 who
are coming so that they will be kept
together.
Mrj Gill received information today
from reliable authority at Washington
that the saillne- of the Oregon and the
opening of the canal 'had been inden
nltely delayed. There Is an intimation
that the old ship may not leave here
before next July. Government officials
say they can do nothing for the men

"Their report states tnat at the be
