Did the groundhog see his shad

cause'l genuine discussion since 'raes-

he did not, while others vtre
just as sure that he did- The Jie-xt

what the groundhog did.
One Jirm believer in the groundhop
said ihst he came owt early Tuesday
morning, but did not see his shadow
at that time. It is claimed that ha
did not come out ugafn. Others say
he caiiie out in the afternoon and im-

10:15 o’clock. For approjumately one
hour he held the undivided attention
of his audience, as he expounded doc-

with love of God and right-dealing
in all things. His message was sim

Washngton, Jan. 30.—A drawn battle on the .Adnjinistration
Ship Purchase Bill in the Senate came tonight after one of the
most strenuous parliamentary struggles Congress has; known in
From 11 a. m. Friday, ail through last night and
again today and tonight, the contest proceeded with a spirit of
determination little short of desperation on both sides. The great
stake, a final vote on the bill, which would break the Senate dead
lock and release the blockade of legislation was just ahead, for
the presiding officer has ordered that the ayes and nayes would
be taken as soon as debate should end. No further parliamentaty
device was available, and physical endurance alone remained to
hold back the taking of the vote.
Although the Democrats agreed to a recess at midnight at the
end cf 37 hours of continuous debate, administration leaders in
sisted that such action meant no let-up in their determination
to press the bill.
“We agreed to the recess because of Sunday,” said Senator
Simmons, "just as we did in the filibuster against the rivers and
harbors appropriation bill last fall. But beginning Monday £t
10 o’clock it is our purpose to press the bill with all the force
that is in our power.”
Late today Senator WjUiam Alden Smith relieved his Republi
can coiteagaes who had been holding the floor since early morn
ing. He turned bis attention to a bitter arraignment of the ad
ministration’s policy and painted a gloomy word picture of the
business condition of the country under the Democratic tariff.
An “era of record breaking business mortality,’' had followed en-
ftttment of that tariff, he said, and he characterized the sMppinc
bill as the "fifth administration foUy.”
“I don't think we have ever had a President who was so hopiv
fu! with so little cause as the pres'’7it incumbent of the White
House,” he said. ^‘From the day he signed the tariif bill he
has not let a week go by without proclaiming that prosperity
was here." ^
Senator Smith re&d many figures which he declared showed
the conditions he had recited and repeatedly challenged the
Democrats to answer his statement. Majority members refused
to be drawn in a tarif[ debate, however, accepting the challenge
with weary apathetic silence.
Throughout the long Hay session the situation was tense. Many
senators slept in their seats after the long watches tnirough last
night; others stretched on the sofas circling the senate chaniber:
others formwl team relays, offensive and defensiye, to crowd the
measure to a vote or to hold it back.
There was little sharp parliamentary fencing. In the main, it
T 4.1. was steady speechmaking, with here and there a flash of wit or
ter y morning o ^ fv. a u^ er show the intense undercurrents in the debate. Sen-
Bp?ant, oae o ion s most uwn^s - Lodge again gave warning that the buying of interned ships
^ promising^ v: would precipitate grave international complications with Great
Britain, France and Russia, and would “start this nation on the
highway of war.”
Daring the day it was expectation on both sides of the cham
ber that the contest would be carried through tonight and into
death has c».t a gloom over the enUre ^ ^ ^
' ministraticn forces, secured unanimous consent for a recess until
JO a. m., Monday.
With the recess came the announcement from Democratic con-

he would soor. be restored to his usual
health vigor and usefulness. His

him, who was Miss Elizabeth erce ggn^tor Simmons announced he was authorized to deny reports
that the administration was considering withdrawing the bill
from the senate. He could say authoritatively, he declared, that
there was not one scintilla of truth in the report.
Early in the evening Senator Smoot, who talked all night last
night, his remarks taking up 11 1-2 hours, reappeared on the
floor apparently much refreshed and roady for another long dis
tance debate should his service be nyeded.
The galleries were filled with spectators, but there were few
senators on the floor until toward 9 o’clock when many who had
gone home for a brief rest returned to the chamber.
Senator Smith, whose speech took the form of a general attack
on the rtdministration, engaged several Democratic senators in
Norfolk, Va., before her marriage.
Mr. Bryant’s body was interred in
Norfolk today. Kev. J. 0. Cox repre
sented the college at the obsequies.
