Washington, Feb. 10.—AH records
for continuous sessions in the sen-

leant, were btoken by the prolonga-
tion of Monday 's session devoted to
the administration ship purchase'
bill over the moYning hours. In
18911 the repeal of the silver pur-
chase clause of the Sherman law
kept the senate in continuous ses-
sion Iot -1* hours and 43 minutes, tv1
record for that period and one that
was not surpassed, until 2 45 a. m.
today.
Still the opponents to ‘.he parsing
of the ship purchase bill fought on
after their record for endurance hau
gone down as historical. Senator
Sherman. wl,o occupied the floor,
discussed the evils of government
ownersh'n as senator after senator
disappeared to his home or commit-
tee rocru for a 111 tie rest and a
shift of janitors moved noiselessly
about, the chamber clearing up the.
rubbish that had collected on the
lloor during the two day session.
Senator l.ea of Tennessee presid-
ed and Senator Lee of Maryland
constituted tbo entiro majority side
of the chamber. Senator Smoot and
William Alden Smith of Michigan,
were the on'y republicans present
for hours In addition to Senator
Sherman.
With their eyes badly swollen
from the strain of the extraordinary
work, the regular force of olilcinl
reporters were eonipelled to give way
r.nd new stenograph!; reporters, for
the flrrt time in years, took their
place-: on the floor.
The period of calm early today
came only after a bliTtfr struggle for
supremacy about midnight. The
republicans and their supporters on
the democratic side sought to eud
the session tut the motion to ad-
journ was lost by a vote of 49 to 44
On the olher hand, Senators
Fletcher and Stone attempted to
get a vote on the Initial portions of
the recommitment motion, namely
the length of the term for which
tho government ship might be leas-
ed. Kepuulltnn senators clamored in
excitement for the right to speak,
but Senator Stone obtained tho
floor, cutting off Senator M(Cum-
ber's speech, which had heen plan-
ned to continue far Into the morning
hottr.i.
A parliamentary wrangle ensued
and the democrats abandoned their
efforts to force a vote. Although ev-
ery available senator and Vice Pres-
ident. Marshall were called to the
chamber. Tho encounter whh mark-
ed by a verbal clash hot ween Senators

not discussing the bill. Senator
Sherman explained that his remarks
regarding the operation of the par-
cel post system were in trder be-
cause they dealt with government
ownership. Senator Hughes finally
withdrew his point, Senator Kern,

Associated Press Dispatch
Berlin, via The Hague and Lon-
don, Feb. 10, 10:35.—A description
of conditions under which battles
are being vaged in the Carpathian^
is contained in a dispatch to the
Lokal An«eiger from Us correspon-
dent in tho u; junta ins, who says
‘‘Deep snow lies in the Carpath-
ians and trcop movements are con-
fined to the valley paths. These
marches arc slow and deployment
for battle is extemely difficult. The
Russians urn pressing with very
considerable forces against Dukla
Pass and continually are bringing
up new troops there.
“On the rest of the long front
the Russians are in excellently for-
tified positions which arc very hard
to capture. Under these circum-
stances the operations of the allied
Austro-Hungarian and German troops
are slowed up In spite of their great-
est efforts. Successes which are
achieved In turn by both sides have
only local significance.
"Speculations concerning far-see-
ing plans are idle. As long as nat-
ural obstacles prescribe the conduct
of the war on both sides we must
be satisfied If we succeed in forcing
the Russians back step by step out
of the mountain borders and simul-
taneously repel their attempts to
get through into Hungary.”

FINANCIAL OPERATIONS.
Washington, Feb. 10.—The inves-
tigation of the financial operations
of the Chicago. Rock Island and Pa-
cific Railroad company by the inter-
state commerce commission will be
resumed here today. Officials of
the road will be called upon to give
their version of the financial hand-
ling of the company and the causes
of the pYesent plight of the big rail-
road.
It is expected that Daniel G.
Reid, the storm center of a long
controversy of factions for control
of the road, who recently resigned
as chairman of the board of direc-
tors, will be the principal witness.
Though the annual meei Ing of the
stockholders will not be held until
March 15, Held resigned oa January
29, on the eve of the announce-
ment by the Proxy Committee that
It wanted proxies to elect four di-
rectors suitable to the general body
of stockholders. This was regard-
ed as an anti-Reed statement, for
the directors whose terms expire
March 15, Reid resigned on January
ert Walker of New York and Ed-
ward 8. Moore and John J. Mitchell
of Chicago.
^Although it is fully expected that
the Internal dissensions of the road
will be settled by the stockholders
at the next meeting, the events in
the financial handling of the road
will be thoroughly probed, it is
eald, by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Mr. Reid’s connection with the
Rock Island began in 1991 after
he had amassed a fortune in the tin
plate and steel trades. He gained
control of the road and inaugurated
many changes. It was then that
Wfcli Street became greatly inter-
ested in Rock Island, ft was on
the Monday after Christmas in
1909 that Rock Island, under Reid
dominated, absorbed the attention
of the financial world. Brokers ap-
peared on the floor of the New York
exchange with orders to buy Rock
Island stock. They bought and
bought, and In a little' while more
than 200,000 shares were ex-
changed. Rock Island went sky-
rocketing from $50 to $81 a share.
And then came the crash. Within
an hour the price had fallen back
to $50. Fortunes were made and
lost on that eventful day. An inves-
tigation by the Board of Governors
of the New York exchange followed
and one firm of brokers was ex-
pelled. Wall street generally cred-
ited Reid with manipulating the
market.
Last fall the affairs of the com-
pany werq in such serious shape
that Judge Mayer of the U. S. Dis-
trict Court of New York granted a*i
order for the foreclosure and sale
of the railroad property, and fixed
the date of the sale on November
25. The minority stockholders op-
posed the decree and secured a re-
versal of the order from the United
biates Circuit wourt of Appeals. It
was contended by the minority
holders that the sale of the stock
in a block made it impossible for
the smaller stockholders to protect
their rights, and that tlvO whole
plan was cut and dried before it was
presented to the court.
So bitter has been the controversy
among the stockholders of the Rock
island that the resumption of tho
investigation is expected to bring
forth serious charges of misconduct
and already charges have been
printed in New York that millions
have been unlawfully diverted from
the railroad.

FIFTH WARDERS HOLD
MEETING LAST NIGHT
PROPOSED NEW CITY ( HARTER
IK THE TOPIC UNDER
DIS4THMOV.
A largo and intensely Interested
crowd gathered last night at the
Fifth Ward Fire Station, where
Judge J. A. L. Wolfe, G, D. McRey-
nolds and others, speaking under
the auspices of the Fifth Ward Im-
provement dub, explained the pro-
posed new charter for the city of
Sherman. After the ftieeting had
been called to order by President
Joe Holliday and the minutes of the
two previous meetings had beer. read.
Mr. Holliday introduced Judge
Wolfe, who spoke in part ar follows;
Since It is Impossible to please
every citizen on every point in the
new charter, the people of Sherman
should not expect an inatrjment fa-
vorable to every voter but .as a whole
the charter commission has unani-
mously agreed that the proposed
charter Is much better than the one
under which- we now livq. There
had been difference of opinion even
among the coromissionyri them-
selves on many points. Judge
Wolfe then took up in detail objec-
tions which he had heard raised.
The key to loth Judge Wolfe's, Mr.
McReynolds' and Judge Hassell's
arguments is to be found in the fact
that they believe the new charter to
be better, provision by provision,
than the old one.
There could be no objection to the
recall as set forth in the new char-
ter, said Judge Wolfe, even if six
months’ time were required to re-
move a man from office, as he had
heard said, when under the present
system there was no recall provision
Whatever and two years' time would
be necessary to remove any objec-
tionable officeholder.
Objection has been raised to sec-
tions 14 and 15, which require a?-
candidate to secure a petition signed
by ten per cent of the qualified
voters of the last general municipal
election before being eligible to run.
The theory of this provision is that
the voters will seek the office holder
instead of the man seeking the
office, thereby eliminating ajl but
the best qualuied.
The office of city manager is
not elective, therefore there is no
recall by the people. The city man-
ager, being hired by the commission,
is subject to discharge without no-
tice should Hs work become unsat-
isfactory but for no other reason
Should the commission for any
reason refuse to discharge an unsat-
isfactory employee they are subject
to the recall.
The countilmen will serve without
pay. This, however, will be no in-
centive to graft, since that body
handles none of tie city’s money
whatever, except that they approve
or disapprove of proposed expendi-
tures of over $500 where the com-
mission is not unanimous. Since
tho couneilmen will have very little
work to do, they should not be elect-
ed for the money aUaeked to the of-
fice. They are a most important
body in that they are the elected
representatives of the people and
from their number will be selected
the commissioners. They can and
will represent the people.
By a majority vote* of the council,
an act “bT the commission may be ve-
toed. Twenty-five per cent of the
voters, may takq, any matter up and
submit it to the vote of the people.
Tho commission is not a personal
supervisor‘in any matter, as the
present council has been. This is
the business of the city manager
who makes a daily report of work
done and money expended in all
departments to the commission.
In replying to a report spread by
a carrier of false rumor. Judge
Wolfe said that the best qualified
man would be selected regardless
of whore he came from, but prefer-
nce would be given a home man.
Should the new charter carry
Judge Wolfe said that he was in
favor of a mass meeting of citizens
and the chosing of fifteen qualified
men and tho sending out of peti-
tions for these men.
Section 43 of the proposed char-
ter provides for expert auditing of
the books of the city.
The law in regard to public
schools was left substantially the
same, except that the commission
will elect men to fill vacancies on
the school hoard instead of that
body doing so itself.
Objection was raised to sections
133. 134 4and 135, which gives the
commission unlimited power to im-
prove streets. A guarantee ^yas
asked against abuse of this power.
Judge Wolfe replied that the citv
council has this authority already,
which is not abused.
Tho following questions .were
asked which Judge Wolfe answered :
Question: Will the peofde still
have the right for voting bond issues?
Answer: Lunds can only bo issued
after a favorable, vote by the citi-
zens.
Q. Can people bo made to
pave a street?
A. Not if it is a homestead.,
Q. Will the adoption of the new
charter mean increased taxes?
A. No.
O. D. McReynolds was the next
speake.*.
On assumption that the people of
Sherman wanted a better founda-
tion than their existing charter gave
them, the charter commission had
drawn up what was In their belie*
a much better Instrument article by

Hog Cholera Cotts $03,OOO.OOO. ,
Fayetteville, Ark,, F'eb. 10.—The
enormous toll of hog cholera,
reaching $65,000,000 ■ in value in
one year, is so alarming that the
government’s field agents, working
ill harmony with the State Agri-
cultural College, are especially act-
ive in combatting the disease the
country over. Dr. J. B. Gibson,
veterinary field agent of the Feder-
al Bureau of Animal industry, who
is conducting the fight here against
the hog disease, declares that the
hog has been neglected despite the
fact that the hog has brightened
ntore homes, put more carpet* on
the floors, more music into the par-
lor and turned the faces of more
boys and girls toward the colleges
than any other one factor in our
entire economic fabric. According
to Dr. Gibson, 90 percent of all the
losses in hog rajsing is caused by
cholera. The country is now pass-
ing through the third serious epi-
temte in thirty years, and the con-
trol and extradition of the disease
