DEMOCRATS SPLIT ON CLOTURE RULE Senate Caucus is Unable to Agree and Rules Committee Will Sub- mit Another Proposition. STEERING COMMITTEE IS NAMED WASBHINGTON, Dee. 1.—~Demo- crats of the senate in caucus today feiled to reach any agreement on a rule to provide for cloture of debate, postponing action until ‘The special rules committee was not ready to make any definite recom- mendation, but will endeavor to sub- mit a proposal tomorrow. The caucus also deferred election of a president pro tempore. That will be taken up Friday. Senator Kern, chairman of the conference, said the election was deferred by common consent, with a view to as- suring barmony in the conference. Several sonators have opposed the re- election of Senator Clarke of Arkansas and have sought to induce Senator Pom- erene of Ohio to be a candidate. Senator Chilton of Wes* Virginia was elected vice chairman of the conference and Senator Lewis of 1limots was re- elected as party whip. On the steering committes Senator Kern named Senators Martin, Owen, Chamberlain, Thomas, O'Gorman, Willlams, James and Reed Senators Luke Lea (Tennessee), Hoke Smith (Georgia) and Clarke (Arkansas) retire from the committee, The new com- mittes will make up committee assign- ents for the new senate. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, it was learned, has proposed that his committee be enlarged #0 that Senator Underwood of Alabama. former majority leader of the house, may be given a place on the committee.

FACTS NOT ALTOGETHER CLEAR WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—~The State department hag instructed Am- bassador Page at London to inquire lof the British government whether sacrifices which they were called ;4o German naval code and were T® |two vessels of the American Trans- upon to make was expressed by Pre- mier Asquith today. The premier’s expression of confi- dence was volced before a representa- tive labor conference of large size | which assembled to consider the best neans of husbanding the national resources and encoursging strict economy. “Any excess of either profits or wages which does not find Ita way back to the state In loans or taxes or is not em- ployed in necessary Industries or public services,” sald the premier, “is so much | loss to the national revenue and the national resources and th mtore #0 much injury to the national ca The government, he sald, asked the trade unlon leaders to use their influ- ence to prevent anything in the nature of a general demand for an advance mn wages. The premier explained that, although some few Industries were injured by the war, according to the best estimate avallable 4,500,000 working people had en- Joyed a substantial increase in wages since the war's beginning. “On the other hand,” continued Pre mier Asquith, “we have witnessed a sub- stantial increase In the cost of living. Food has risen 40 per cent, rent 2 per cent, fuel and light 25 per cent and clothing 3 per cent, but, when allow- | ance is made for the increased cost of living, I venture to say the wage earners are better off mow than when the war began."” HAUSER MAKES A ‘SLIP OF TONGUE AT HI§ HEARING men of doubtful reputation In a dugout or hut on the north bottom near the dog pound last summer, The Hawkins woman belleves this hut was the hangout of several holdup men. The men who livea there had no visible occupation, she sald. T have seen aHuser going by my place many times,” sald the woman. *He lived with some other men who I think were robbers, In a dugout covered with a patched tin roof, on the river bottom near the dog pound. I think it was a hangout for robbers.” No Confession Made An examinatio nof Hauser after he ar- rived in' the jall disclosed that instead of being a degenerate, physically, in ac- cordance with the popular belief regard- ing such criminals, he s almost a per- fect specimen of manhood. He does not drink, smoke nor chew tobacco and has no other habit, he asserted. He Is pow- erfully bullt and is in vigorous health. Hauser scouted the idea of confession and refused to talk about his crimes. “What In hell would I confess any- thing for? he sald. He talked gruffly, but was not surly and appeared to take matters rather easily, In Solitary Cell. “Thank you," he answered shortly, when Sherift McShane told him to send iword it he wanted to secure a lawyer, The man has so far refused to express any preference for any attorney to rep- resent him, He returned brief answers to questions which had no relation to {his crimes, Hauser was placed in a solitary cell as #oon s he had had a bath and had | donned one of the yellow sults worn by prisoners in the county jail.

Orders Come by Cable. Notwithstanding the msevering of the |German cables to America by the British |early in the war the Hamburg-American {line was in constant cable communica- mon with Germany, Dr. Buensz testified | Theso cablegrams at the time the line 'ment out rellef ships told Dr. Buenz where |to wend ships to meet German crulsers, | notwithstanding the tsolation of the war- |ships from the German admiralty. The government strenuously objected to Dr. Buens' testimony concerning the abstract of the agreement and the cable- |grams relating to the dispatch of rellef ships. Roger B. Wood, United States as- sistant district attorney, contended that the documents themselves were avail- ablo and that they should be brought into the court room. In this he was up- held by Judge Howe and Buenz was not | permitted to tell of thelr contents. Offers to Produce Transiations. Willlam Rand, jr., counsel for the de fense, sought to have the contents of the documents placed before the jury as Dr. Buenz remembered them. “We are willing to show you the trans lations,”” Mr. Rand sald. “We cannot show you the originals. In the first | place, we couldn't get them from the German embassy if we wanted to. They are safo and fast in Germany’'s keeping. “In the second place we maintain that the government of the United States is not interested In the German secret code. If they were brought here they would be- come public property. The German code would become known to England, France, Russia—to all of Germany's enemica.” Boy<Ed Came In » uently, Dr. Buenz testified that he arranged for the shipment of coal and supplies, chartered various neutral ships through John H. Gans and spent altogether $,- 500,000 in trying to accomplish his object. This meney was repald by the home of- fice In Hamburg, “Did you see Captaln Boy-ed, the Ger- man naval attache, while you were di- recting the movements of these vessels, or chatering them?’ asked Mr. Rand. “l did.

The department acted upon information from Richard Wagner, president of the company, who telegraphed he had been advised by the captains of the steamers Hocking, detained at Halifax, and Gene- oee, detained at St. Lucia, that attorneys for the British government were to make moves today looking toward the requisi- t'on of the vessels. State department officfals sald if these facts were confirmed everything would be done to prevent such action. Heveral steamers of the American Trans- atlantic company have been seized by the Eritish on the ground that they were sus- pected of being German owned.

Dr. Buenz concluded his direct test. - mony by asserting that he had never heard of the steamer Marina Quesada, which salled December 16, 1914 from Newport News, Va., to supply German crulsers, the government charges; that he had not tried to obtain false mani- fests, and that nothing was further from his thoughts than to deceive or detraud port collectors of the United States gov- ernment. On cross-examination, Dr. Buenz testi- fled that it was his intention to have re- lef ships proceed empty t6 thelr destina- had transferred their supplies at sea. “What did you consider your obliga- tion to the United States?' asked Mr. Wood. 1 didn't give it much thought, I re- garded the United States as a friendly power and 1 didn't want to break xu laws." and Intection Dangerous.
