senate voted against recommitting It.
but cvrrled the motion of Seuator l-add
of North Dakota to proceed with the
consideration of the house fllled-tullk
bill, which effectually disposed of the
subsidy measure. Senator Caraway of
Arkansas introduced a hi I which provides
that the shipp K-.rd shall
turn over to star -s .md municipalities

to operate, with n view to developing
trade from particular ports. He said
lie believed that the shipping board
planned to punish senators who have

A T THT3 writing It seems probabli
that the senate will refuse to coil

While Ix>rd Curzon. the British forIclgn

SOME Interesting sidelights developed
In the speeches made In the
^ Wisconsin senate on the bill to disband
the National Guard of tha state.
r" Timothy Burke of Green Bay. one of
1 tLe old timers st the stntehonse. d*13
clared that since Civil war days no
lefisiuiun* ui uiij biuic nan ???
lng "so near sedition." "The militia,**
be said, "lu part of the national force*.
If Wisconsin should attempt to nullify
the national defence act by abolishing
^ Its guard It would be defiance of an
er act of congress, and the government
^ would probably be warranted in stepla
ping in and taking over the state as a
military district, on the ground that It
was no longer maintaining a repubid
llcan form of government, as guary,
anteed by the Constitution."
ur Sponsored and supported by the 3obt
clalists the bill to abolish the state
It- troops passed the bouse some days
be ago. and It was expected that It would
of command a considerable vote In the
tit senate, but was defeated by 26 to 4.
