WITH COMMITTEES RE PUBLICANS M E FIGHT Against Government Ship Pur chase Measure. . EXTRA SESSION" LIKELY War Waged Against Administration Measure by Minority Senator May Cause Special 'Session "of Congress to Be Called. Washington, . Jan. 5. Continued Re publican belligerency toward the gov ernment ship purchase bill has begun to worry administration leaders. With but two months in the life of the Sixv ty third Congress remaining, all, of the big supply bills still undisposed of by the. Senate, and minority senators man isfesting a determination to fight the ship bill to -the last ditch, fears were expressed by Democratic leaders that the administration's legislative pro gramme is in danger. ' As a result of conferences among Democratic senators today, it is prob able night sessions may be forced in the near future, to test the endur ance of opponents of the shipping bill. Republican senators today prevented consideration of the ship" measure by. discussing at length the urgent defi ciency bill. Senator Work also talked for three hours on the public health, and announced he still had left 30, 000 words of his prepared address, which he intends to deliver on Thurs day. ' ' , Ulterior Motive. : "It begins to look to nie as though there were an ulterior motive behind this protracted debate," said Senator Stone, after several Republican sena tors had spoken on the urgent defi ciency bill, "that it is intended to waste the time of the Senate. It has the complexion of an established fili buster against consideration of the shipping bill. J I want to warn sena tors, however, that the bill will be con sidered, "it is a good long time' until Christmas." "The Fourth of March intervenes," interjected Senator Lodge, "between now and Christmas." - "Yes, I mean Christmas 1915," replied Senator Stone. Later several senators declared that should the minority prevent passage of the shipping bill at this session an ex tra session would be called. Intima tions of a similar nature also were heard at the White House. The commerce committee, in charge of the shipping bill, today adopted sev eral amendments submitted yesterday bysenator Stone. One, designed to prevent secret shipments of contra band, would authorize the President to designate ports where customs collec tors would be compelled to inspect all goods before "they were loaded for foreign ports on ships of American reg ister or vesseWto be 'acquired -1y the: United States under the pending bill. Another amendment would place United States ships under international mari time regulations.

A.. i BALTIMORE BANKERS MAKE PROTEST TODAY (Continued from Page One.) by Baltimore lawyers was indicated to night in a summary of a brief filed with the board. The brief claims that Baltimore out ranks Richmond in finance, commerce and industry lQr-a ratio of five to one, and that the bank should have gone to the larger city. It puts forth the claim that the course of trade in the Fifth district is towards jBaltimpre and that Baltimore not only does a larger busi ness than any other city in the Fifth district, but does most, of this business in the Fifth district. ' The boundaries of the district, to a remarkable extent coincide with the boundaries of the field of Baltimore's commercial predom inance, the brief says. The brief characterizes the reasoning of the organization committee as "Jug ggling with figures." In order to find a comparison favorable to Richmond, the committee, it says,' compares' not the statistics of all banks in Richmond and Baltimore, but figures for National banks alone in Virginia and Maryland, ignoring all banking business done by the state banks and' trust companies.

Boslon, Mass., January 5. The a'd visability of . government purchase of ships, as proposed in a bill pending; in Congress was debated at a "merchant marine" dinner of the chamber of cmo merce tonight. Congressman Alexan der, of Missouri, sponsor for the bill, characterized it as. the magna charta of American Shipping. ' Congressman E. W. Saunders, of Vir ginia, objected to the proposal, as a poor business proposition and a breed er of delicate international complica-, tions. He said "The bill is the most radical innovation upon Federal poli cies since the Civil war. It is substan tially, if not avowedly, socialistic." "I am opposed to this measure, among other serious reasons," said Congress man Saunders, "because it is in flat contravention of the plank adopted at the Baltimore convention on the sub ject of merchant marine. The scheme which would require an appropriation of approximately $10,000,000 and an is sue of bonds to the extent of possibly $30,000,000, falls within the condition of 'this plank, which is directed against measures imposing additional burdens on the people." BOWDEN SHOOTING AFFAIR RESULTS IN A FATALITY Zeith Gore, Shot Last Wednesday, Dies In Hospital. (Special Star Telegram.) Warsaw, N. C, January 5. Zeith Gore, who was shot at Bowden last Wednesday, died in a hospital today. Louis Anderson, accompanied by wit nesses, came here immediately .after the shooting, and submitted to the charge of shooting Gore. "The evidence they gave was that Coleman invited Anderson's. sister to go to a dance with him in a neighboring house and that Gore, who was in love with the girl, forbade her to go, threat ening to take her life if she went. She prepared' to go and Gore advanced in a threatening manner, they said, but was met by the brother, who. shot him in the head. Both.' men fired, but Gore's shot went wild. . ' The Gore ei'iiriMO,.

CAHRANZATRO(tPS VICTORIOUS. Puebla, Capital of State' of That Name, Captured Six-Day Siege. Vera Cruz, Mex., Jan. 5. Puebla, capital of the -state of Puebla, evacu ated a month ago by .Carranssa troops, was reta'gen today, after a campaign which began with the capture, of Te peaca, a short distance southeast .of Puebla, six days ago. The fall of. Puebla ,came after six. hours of what . is described as the moot! furious bombardment to which anyl l . r "u. . . General Alvaro Obregon, commanding the Carranza forces, worked into a po sition about the city last night with troops reported to have aggregated 30,000 men. He threw nearly all his men into action, beginning the 'fighting early in the morning. After pounding with 92 cannon the enemy's positions, reported held by 15, 000 men, Obregon's army advanced un der fire of the enemy's artillery. , : . When Obregon left Vera Cruz lye told friends that be would be in possession of Puebla in' eight days.' This time was not up until tonight. Tepeaca, Amozec I and other small towns have been tak- en since his departure, and Obregon had , made his headquarters division base at Apizaco, where the railroad from Puebla joins- the main line" of the Mexican railway. Last night he moved this force south ward and another force toward the west, cutting both railroads over which the Villa and Zapata forces might pro- fceed toward Mexico, City. Orenerals, Alvaredo and Mallen com manded the forces moving from the east and had under their direction most of the cannon. How many of the Villa and, Zapata troops escaped is not known, but early reports of the fighting indicate that the greater part of them either were killed or made prisoners. From these reports it would seem that in few of the bat tles that have occurred in Mexico has the slaughter been so swift and so great. ' The hardest part of the action was foight outside the city proper. The dead and wounded are said to cover the ground at some places ahd to be strewn plentifully across a field whose diameter from west to east is some 12 miles. " Communication with Puebla was not established until .tonight. Who was in command of the capital forces is" not yet known, but their leaders are re ported . to .havo been Andrew Almazan and Eufemio ZApatar a brother of Emil iano. A brief message received at midday announced "JTTe result of the fighting and the gqgrison in Vera Cruz with their bands grafted the streets in honor of the victoofr'.
