TALK TO-MORROW. Senate leaders agreed to adjourn the technically continuous session to- night and start @ now legislative day to-morrow. This will give Senator Introduce his resolution, and it !s expected that the subject will be debated fully. President Wilson conferred with Secretary of State Lansing during the afternoon at the White House. In the House a partial concession was made by the Committee on For- eign Affaire asking the State Depart- ment to submit évidences of orders to British merchant vessels regarding armament and war on submarines. Meantime members the House nought for @ clear oxplahation of the President's position, and a definition of just whet the Administration is demanding of Germany, as consider- able confusion of opinion prevailed over the precise status of diplomatic demands and negotiations. In order to get a clearer under- standing, two suggestions were made. One was to have Speaker Clark, Leader Kitchin and Chairinan Flood ca upon the President and explain the Congressionad situation to him, asking executive information in re- turn. Representative Heflin of Alabama, strong supporter of the President in the House, said: “I do not believe the resolution can pass, but in event of its developing sufficient strength I have suggested that the President oome before a joint executive session of both houses to tell us exactly what fe the situation between the United States and Germany, If the Presl- dent in executive session would ex- plain the case members would not be fo inclined to go into this matter blindly.” In the House the McLemore resolu- tion similar to Senator Gore's was held in check by the leaders, Chairman Flood of the Committee on Foreign Affairs said that he believed the sit- uation had reached a stage of calm deliberation. He teleyhoned to Presl- dent Wilson that the proposed resolu- tion probably would not get out of ck . | committee, A canvass of the House to find out the sentiment of members has been y | Undertaken by Representative Shack- elford of Missouri, committee. When the House met, the leaders of both parties were on watchful guard to prevent any resolution com- ing up for debate. A compromise resolution was presented to the House Committee on Foreign Affaire by Representative Foster, Democrat, of Illinois, It authorizes, instead of ro- quests, the President to warn Amer- foane against boarding armed ships, EMBARRASSMENT LIKELY IN HASTY ACTION. On behalf of the Administration it was urged that any hasty action by Congress might seriously embar- frases the negotiations with Germany and were likely to cause even greater danger. ‘Word went from White House to Capitol before tho sessions began that President Wilson's opposition to any action by Congress was un- sbaken and that Senator Stone and Representative Flood, Chairmen of committees in thelr respective houses having in charge the “keep off the member of the concerned in it, Denial also was made relieves itching and scalp diseases, It promotes the growth of the hair and taakes harsh hair soft and glowgy.—Adyt. tual any ultigatum bad been given pre In the map the black line reading from Consenvoye (on River) eastward to Azsannes shows the battlefront on which the Germans -mile front, as was reported yesterday.

RESOLUTION WARNING AMERICANS OFF ARMED SHIPS IS SIDETRAGKED to to the President that he must change his position within forty-eight hours or that he will appear before Con- gress to explain bis views, At the White House there were many letters and telegrams in the President's mail this morning, They| were divided on both sides of the subject, From every section of the country messages came in, some urg- ing the President to follow the ex. ample of the Swedish Government, warning citizens to avold armed ships, Others conveyed assurances of support and commendation for the} President's stand in demanding full] freedom for Americans to travel as they pleased. GRAND JURY MAY PROBE $125,000 PAID 10 SHONTS (Continued from First Page.) and I should like to testify and an- swer any questions about the Admiral Realty case.” Mr, Feinberg explained that In the absence of Senator ‘Thompson and Counsel Frank Moss It would be bet- ter for Mr. Marshall to testify to- morrow morning. All witnesses were | excused till then and the committes| adjourned. Mr. Feinberg, when ask- ed where Mr. Moss was, sald he did not know. Ralph Wolf, a witness who brought | certain documents relating to the Ad- miral Realty suit, was excused unul Monday. “This was not a collusive suit In any senso of the word," said Mr. Marshall while waiting to bo called to the witness chair, “It was fought | honestly all the way through, I will) give $10,000—and that is a large sum | of money—If any one can find a polnt or an authority that was not brought up in behalf of the plaintiff (the Ad- | miral ty Company).” PAYMENT OF FEES BY INTER-| BOROUGH IMMATERIAL, “Why did the Interborough Com- pany pay the legal expenses on both sides of the case?” was asked, “That is immaterial,” Mr, Marshall replied. “If {t had been a collusion suit that would have been important, of course, but the fact that the Inter-| the issue, I would have argued the | concerning | appear before the Thompson borough paid fees has no bearing on! committee, The details have not be 1916. ase Just as sincerely and earnestly if there lad not been a red cent in It for me, T gave my services in the Frank case and paid my own ex- | ponses. I argued the conatitutionality of the private banking law for the State of New York, asked for noth- ing, received nothing and paid my own expenses, I drew that law for the Attorney General and established its conatitutionality.” “What is your opinion of the con- stitutionality of the subway con- tracts?” Mr. Marshall was asked, “It {t wero the last thing T sald on earth,” replied Mr. Marshall impres- sively, "I would say that the major- ity of the Court of Appeals was wrong on the question of the constitution- ality of the dual subway contfacts.” ‘The Court of Appeals in June, 1912, denied the right of the Admiral Re- alty Company to enjoin the city from entering {nto the dual subway con- tracts, which to-day are more than half completed. Judge Hiscock wrote the prevail opinion, in which Judges Haight, Vann and Collin con- curred. Judge Gray did not vote, | Judge Cullen wrote a dissenting opin- fon and Judge Werner agreed with him, The Thompson sub-committee con- tinued work all day. In spite of the orders given yesterday by Chairman Thompson, it appears that no sub- poena duces tecum has been served on Thomas Fi, Gillespie, the junior | partner of the T. A, Gillespie Com- pany, who refused yesterday to let Perley Morse, expert accountant for the committee, examine the records the firm's transfer of money to its Pittsburgh office. “No subpoena has been servedon me,” said young Gillcple, “and #o far as I know we stand just where we stood yesterday, I did not say yesterday that we had sent $2,500,000 to our Pittsburgh office. I sald we had $2,- 500,000 of contracts In Pittsburgh dur- ing the last two years and that we had financed them from our New York office, sending over money for that purpo Word was roceived this morning from George W. Young that he will mit- tee next week—probably Tuesday. Banker Young !s the former director of the Interborough Company who on the witness stand gavo the investi- gators tho first information about the ‘slush fund” of $2,000,000 alleged to have been used tn putting over the dual subway contracts. Mr, Young started for Palm Beach last Saturday under doctor's orders, but a telegram from Bainbridge Colby, late counsel to the Thompson Committee, urged him to return to complete his testimony. He tell graphed to Senator Thompson at the Biltmore: “Can appear before your committee any day after Monday, Feb, 28, Will commun! immediately upon arrl York. Would apprect leeway if possiblo for you to grant. Mr, Young later wired: “Impossible for me obtain train accommodations leaving here until Saturday. £ will communicate with you upon arrival in New York.” Senator Thompson, Chairman of the committee, left for Albany on the Empire State Express at 8.30 A, M to-day. He left no word of the object ot his visit, but it Is believed that he Is after an extension of time for his Investigation. ‘Che committee must cease investigating on March 7 und ity present authority, but it Is be Heved that the Legislature will enable Senator Thompson to continue the search for all the queer things thar were done to facilitate the making of the dual contracts.
