DISCUSS EMBARGO ON WAR MUNITIONS Ship ment From America to Europe is Denounced. DEBATE IN THE SENATE Democrats and Republicans Join I As sailing Munitions Traffic Petl-V tion of Over Million Names. Vote May be Taken. MOTHER AND CHILDREN MADE BEGGARS BY LAW "X. Their Scant Possessions Taken for a "Fence Debt." Harrowlag Experience of Hungarian Immigrant Woman and Four Lit tle Children Aired in Colum bus Court Circles. "Washington. Jan. 27. An outburst of denunciation against shipment of American-made war munitions to Eu ropean belligerents stirred the Senate today, reflecting a revival of sentiment which-may force a vote upon embargo resolutions that have been, pending in committee for several w.eeks. A doz en Senators, including Democrats as well as Republicans, assailed the mu nitions traffic while those who have sided with the administration in-its stand that an embargo would - violate international law were for the mo3t part silent. - -. ' A petition for an embargo, having more than a million signatures, ' pre cipitated the debate. A test vote at one time seemed inevitable, but it was averted after much parliamentary : ma neuvering by reference of the petition to the Foreign Relations, committee. - Senator Kenyon, Republican, start ed the discussion in presenting the pe tition which had been sent to the Sen ate by the organization 'of American Women for Strict Neutrality. The Iowa Senator characterized the sale of mu nitions abroad as a "cold blooded money-making proposition," and denounc ed the policy of praying for peace on Sundays and selling weapons of war on week days as rank- hypocrisy. An embargo was vigorously urged also by Senators Hitchcock, Clapp, VVOrKS, ASnursi, uauc, Mai tine a."- Follette. Other senators who spoke in favor of an embargo but thought the question of whether it might be a breach of neutrality first be thought fully considered by the Foreign Rela tions committee were Clark, of Arkan sas; Clark, of "Wyoming; Smoot and ToTrtnsend. Senator Stone, chairman 6t the For eign Relations committee, before which the embargo resolutions . are pending, said he had opinions on the merits of the issue, but thought this was. not the time to discuss them. Sena tor Robinson was the only senator who expressed himself as actually opposed to an embargo, insisting that it might Teturn to plague the United States in time of conflict with other nations. From the character of the debate it was apparent that ' discussion of the question was certain to crop out again in the near future. Senator Clark, of ."Wyoming, said the Senate's patience was being sorely tried .by continued inaction on-the part of the Foreign Relations committee. ! . . MINISTER'S NAME - NOW IN THE CASE (Continued From Page One), you very, cautious?" the attorney gen eral asked. "Yes." "It was evident that you had been fooled at the first marriage V "Yes." "Where was it that you really went through a ceremony T' Mr. Rice asked. Mrs. Mohr sobbed so that it was some time before she could answer. She finally replied that she and the doctor were married at Lynn, Mass., on May 24, 1909. The doctor thought it would be best, she said, on account of the children. The residence and occupation of both herself and the doctor, as given on the records in Lynn, were false, Mrs. Mohr admitted. The statements were given by Ir. Mohr, she said, and she was standing to one side part of the time. Earlier in the day, when asked by counsel if she ever intended to get an absolute divorce from Dr. Mohr, Mrs. Mohr replied: "No, sir I would never have di vorced my husband. I wanted no one else and cared for no one else. I felt that deep down in his heart he loved me no matter who he went around with." Mrs. Mohr said that the threatening letters she sent were for the sole pur pose of "scaring Miss Burger away from my husband." Before court adjourned Justice Stearns announced that contrary to custom a session would be held Sat urday morning and perhaps on Sat urday afternoon. It was said that Mrs. Mohr probably would be on the stand for two days more. BRIGADE BASKET BALI. Braves Pla .750 .500 :S00 .250 - (Special Star Correspondence.) Whiteville, N. C, .. Jan. 27. One of the harrowing experiences "necessary" for immigrants to encounter in this country, especially those who are not endowed with a .surplusage of energy, has been aired in court circles here this week. The wife of George Ando di, a member, of the Hungarian colony at Artesia, whose husband left to seek other fields of providing support for the family, packed all the household goods and provisions belonging to the family and placed them In the depot atHallsboro for shipment to Newport News, Va., at which place her husband was. It seems that the wife had been man aging the farm at Artesia for some time and in purchasing provisions-and supplies for the household, and farm, a misunderstanding arose during the settlement with John Heinzel, a Ger man who has been at Artesia several years. Heinzel claims tnat me Hun garian woman is due him $34 for fenc ing and when he learned that she was going to Newport News he procured a warrant of attachment against the household effects and had them taken jn custody by an ..officer -at Hallsboro. The woman claims that she has paid Heinzel all she owe him' for provi sions but admits the fence debt, but excuses it by saying it is due to the Carolina Trucking Development Com pany and not to Heinzel personally, in which form the attachment papers were taken out. Pending a hearing of the case before a justice of the peace, which is sched uled for Saturday of this week, the woman is entirely dependent upon the hospitality of her neighbors at Arte sia, as are her four little children. Prior to the attachment of her house hold effects she had money with which to reach her husband at Newport News, but the expense of employing lawyers and of the delay incident to the hearing Saturday has left her prac tically without funds. She was here yesterday and in the sheriff's office made an appeal to the deputies to care for her children, whom she vehement ly declared she intended to bring to Whiteville and turn them over to the sheriff's office in the event the trial justice did not restore her goods to her, and just what disposition they will make of the children, should she stick to her declaration. Is affording , the deputies some little study just now. JUDGE CONNOR HEARS ARGUMENTS ON MOTION! Tie Reds for Second Seminoles Win. Dodgers . . .. . . 3 1 Braves . . . 2 2 Reds . . . . . . 2 -'2 Seminoles .... 1 .3 Results Last Night. Braves, 40; Reds, 27. Dodgers, 32; Seminoles, 34. The top-notchers suffered defeat at the hands of " the lower-'berthmen last night In the Friday Night Basket Ball League, at the Boys' Brigade armory, and, as a result, the Braves now .tie the Reds for second place, while the Seminoles break their goose-egg stand ing. While, the rooters for the Reds and Dodgers were loyal and hated to see their teams lose last night, still the fans supporting the Braves and Seminoles were especially elated at see ing their respective favorites defeat the champions of the first series. The games were witnessed by the largest crowd that has attended for several weeks. In the first game C. Gerdes and Schusterj.Griffith shared honors for the Braves with five goals each. Ellis to taled 17 points, with" seven foul goals and three field goals. Captain Snaken burg had his hands full guarding Mac Griffith, but he did it in his, usual style, allowing the latter only two goals. "Cftink" Davjs and "Happy" Register did most of the storing for the Reds, with six and five goals respectively. Captain Gallagher guarded Ellis to three goals, but could not prevent his making the foul shots allowed him. The spectators were free in their ap plause for the speed with which the young Griffith brothers Schuster and Mac shot around the floor. By the bare margin of two points the Dodgers lost their first game of the series to the Seminoles, who played like "fiends" last night. Irving. ,and Bornemann, respective centers.4'for the Seminoles and' Dodgers, shared the honors for this game in goal throwing, each getting seven and netting their teams fourteen points. Captain Sholar stuck to his man better last night than he has yet done, curbing his desire to go for the ball wherever it Is, and al lowed "Slick" Davis only two goals, while he caged the ball twice himself. Harry Register slipped around big Biri Montgomery for five goals for the Sem inoles, and "W, King playing his third game in the "big" league, although off on his passing, guarded the Dodgers' other .fast forward, Rourk, to three goals. H. Gerdes, for the Dodgers, held his job down by giving Smith only one goal. The Dodgers had the better of their opponents in pass work, but the all-round, hard work of every .man on the Sem moles team brought a hard- earned victory their way. The games were played last night. instead of tonight, on account of the lyceunv number which Is given at the Brigade auditorium tonight.

Judge H. G. Connor, of Wilson, was in Wilmington yesterday, having come to the cltv to hear arguments on a mo- i tion in connection with suits Institu ted by the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line and the Wil mington Railway Bridge company against the owners of the steamer Cromwell. It. will be remembered that n January of 1914, the draw of the Hilton railroad bridge was displaced by the steamer Cromwell which was passing up the river at the time and that subsequently the railroads insti tuted suit- fn the Superior Cuoit here for alleged damages to the amount of about $60,tv. Later counsel for the Owners or tne vessel filed a petition in Federal Court requesting that the suits be transfer red to this court and be tried accora- ng to th admiralty laws. A tem porary restraining order was issued against the railroads to keep them from having the cases heard in Superior Court. Counsel" for the " railroads are now asking that the restraining order be dissolved and that they be allowed to proceed under the State laws. Ar guments on this motion were heard yesterday and Judge Connor will later announce his decision. The railroads are represented by Hon. John D. Bellamy - and Thomas W. Davis, Esq., while Hon. George Rountree and J. O. Carr, Esq., appear for the owners of the : steamer Crom well. ENEMY COULD LAND FORCE OF 500,000 (Continued From Page One). making discovery easy. The inventor. however, claims to have overcome these differences and Admiral Griffin thought It would be wise "to try the system out. Our Wealth Chief Menace. Colonel Glenn told the Senate com mittee that the United States would be practically powerless to resist an Invasion of any first class enemy. The wealth of the nation, he said, had be come its chief menace and would be come a greater menace as the needs of potential enemies became greater. He pictured an enemy landing anywhere . on the east coast north of Chesa ,peake Bay, establishing a line to Erie, .Pa., through Washington and Pitts burgh, and securing the northeast sec- - tion of the United States, containing all of the more Important ammunition factories of the country. Such an in vasion, he said, had been outlined in detail by German war experts. "I am not one of those who believe we are In no danger from Great Brit -ain," Colonel Glenn said. "Great Brit ain with 4,000,000 trained men at fTie end of the war could make such an at tack as successfully as Germany." " "The greatest weakness In the army at present is its lack of organization," he asserted. "The smallest independ ent unit should be a division. There is now no opportunity to train men to handle large bodies of troops." ELL-AM S Absolutely Removes Tn digestion. One package proves it 25c at all druggists.

Presi dent White made a heated reply in which he declared that Doyle had done an irreparable injury to the struggling mine workers of Colorado. Doyle In opening his speech admit ted that the rank and fileof the organ ization had nobly stood by the Colo rada strikers and gratefully acknow ledged that;. $3jS95,5i4 Had been sent Into the state to help win the strike. He declared, however, that some of the national officers in the summer of 1914 did not show the same zeal in conduct ing the strike as they had at the beginning. A report gained circulation today that President White may not be a can didate for re-election a year hence, as he desired to retire. Mr. White would not discuss the report, but it is said he has not finally made up his mind. .

Y., "Most people fool ishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, secret nostrum or narcotic drug," said Dr. Sauer, a specialist of this city, when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength, can only come from the food you eat. But people often fail "to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they know something is wrong, but they can't tell what, so they generally commence doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caus ed by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you ars not strong or well, you owe It to your self to make the following test: See how long, you can woror how far ypu can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary nuxated Iron three times per day. after meals for' two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how, much., you.haye gained.. I have seen dozens. Of, nervous, run down peo ple who "were . ailing all the while, dou ble and even triple their strength and endurance and-entirely , get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver tmA Jar itotthlas ,n ixJXax taax to. f,taarT fjaVB' time simply by taking iron In the prop er form, and this after they had . In some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms, of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of Iron, simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than use less. Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day . simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglo rious defeat simply for the. lack of iron. NOTE Nuxated--Iron recommended above by Dr. Sauer, is one of the newer organic iron compounds. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is eas ily assimilated, does not injure, the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy, -in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The Manufact urers have such great confidence In Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit 5100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent or over In four weeks time, provided they have ho serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money If It does not at least double your strength and en durance In ten days' time. It is dis pensed in this city by J. Hicks Bunting Drug Co. and all other dxiuurisJj ' More than a Million People have seen Douglas Fairbanks and Seena Owen In Triangle's splendid production of "The Lamb" When Broadway goes crazy about a mov ing picture it's time for you to see it. If you have seen "The Lamb," be fair to yourfriends. Tell them to see it, too. If you haven t get hold of the manager of the Moving Picture Theatre you go to 'and ask him to get the film and run it. Even if it does cost him a little more than usual pictures, he will be glad to get it for he will make money on it. The speed of the story, the big scenes with hundreds of people and hundreds of horses; the tightness you have in the throat when ''The "Lamb," all by himself, makes a stolen Gatling spit hell-fire and death at a howling mob, all these help But when lovely Seena Owen crawls up , into Douglas Fairbanks' arms and smiles Well you are so glad you went that you go again; and take your friends. Which is why more than a million people have seen "The Lamb." Every TRIANGLE picture may not be asv good as "The Lamb." But every 77?- AIS(jL.rs picture is so far out of the usual moving picture class that it is worth going miles out of your way to see. See "The Lamb." Or see it again. Any Moving Picture Theatre can get "The Lamb"; if it has already been shown nearby the crowd will be so much the bigger. mmim Flltl COFOT Bcstie Barriscale Dorothy Gisn Mae Marsh ' Mabel Ncrmand Seena Owes Lillian Gish t Jane Grey Enid Mar key Norma Talmadge Fay Tincher Mae Busch Constance Talmadge Louise Glaum Truly Shattuck V ( - liiliiiL. wj -n M Iff GOOD SHOWING MADE Figures Published by Census Bureau Gives Wilmington Good Record.
