U.S. SENATE TURNS FROM SUBSIDY TO LIVE BUSINESS Preparations Are Made for Formal ‘Burial’ of Ship Bill. Bn Lnitxl Pre WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. —The Sen ate today turned away from the ship subsidy bill to other and more live business. * Under the "capitulation agreement” which the filibusterers yesterday exacted from the administration forces the first two hours of the session, at least were to be devoted to consideration of bills on the calendar, many of which have been held up by the ship subsidy filibuster. Meanwhile preparations were being made for the formal rites of burial of the subsidy bill, now definitely dead, and conceded by even its wannest supporters to have no chance of resurrection in this Congress. Two reasons combined to delay the entombing of the bill. ' These were: 1. Absence of several Democratic Senators who will vote to put the sub sidy aside when the formal action disposing of it is taken. 2. A desire by some Republican Senators, among whom is Senator Lodge, to keep the subsidy as a barrier against the truth in fabrics and the filled milk bills which the farm bloc wants to pass. ‘BIG I’FAILS TO GIVE SELF UP
