By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Deadlocked over President Wilson’s ship-purchase bill, in a continuous session which ex- ceeds by many hours any other of which there is record, the Senate today showed no sign of an end to the iegislative struggle. At noon today the Senate had been in continuous session 48 hours—two days and two nights. Senator Townsend (Republican) had relieved Senaro: Sher- man, who had been talking since 1 a. m., opening the day’s assault on the ship- ping bill from the Republican side. While Townsend spoke fresh forces on both sides of the chamber relieved the tired, heavy-eyed Senators who had) ' gtood guard through the night. Many Senators had begun to break under the physical strain. Senator Pen- rose was compelled last night to ¢ his hotel under the care of a shale Others were forced by physical/ex- ! haustion to retire to their homes, but Benate leaders planned to h them back on short notice should their votes be needed. Republican Moves Fail. Twice during the night Republicans and allied Democrats vainly sought to : adjourn the Senate, but administration ) lines held firmly. Majority Leader Kern asserted early in the day that there would be no let-up until the pending , question, at least, could be put to a : vote. The pending question still re- mains or a motion of Senator Fietcher to recommit the bill with instructions for its immediate amendment and retvrn to the Senate. Meanwhile means for forcing the shipping bill through were being dis- cussed by President Wilson at early ae ~ morning conferences today with Ma- | jority Leader Underwood of the House and Representative Kitchen, who is to succeed Underwood as House Leader after March 4. The President's tuggestion to the Hiouse leaders was that the Senate ‘ shipping bill might be attached as an améndment to the Weeks’ bill, already passed by the Senate, providing for the uge of naval vessels in carrying mails * and freight. Bill Before Hous Weeks The Weeks bill is now before the House Naval Affairs Committee. The President, it was understood, had not finally determined to press his ideas - put it ise said to have support of a num- ber of Republicans in the Senate. Kitehin went to the White House primarily to take up with the President the view of members of the Ways and Means: Committee that there should be no extra session of Congress. He stated that position frankly to the President, but went away with the impression that the President would insist on the shipping bill even if it necessitated an extra session. The President told Kitchin that he had not given up hope of the passage of the bill during tile present session. Persistent reports that President Wil- son had determined on an extra session ‘a of Congress, beginning on March 5, if '. the administration ship bill failed to pass at‘ the present session, were met at the ‘White: How } today with the flat state- rons ‘moO extra session had been oon, that the President hoped ett “>a e ship bill without one. It se "eterated however, that, should an extra session be necessary for pas- sage of the bill, it would be called. The President talked over that phase of the gituation with House leaders and found them of varied opinions. Alternative Suggestion. An alternative suggestion taken up by » President with House leaders was Senator Gore's substitute shipping bil: taken up immediately in the | It was the President's idea that passage of a shipping bill through the House would give it prestige. Some of \ those who conferred with the President thought that course would be finally decided on. © ad > ae “Troe 7 ‘ f PGE SS ae = man Bodies Are Counted — in Front of a Muscovite — Battalion.
