SENATE CHANGES Kl'LES.
No More Filibusters Will lie Carried
On in I'pper llrantii.
Washington, March 8.?After
more than one hundred years under
rules permitting debate unlimited
only by the physical endurance of
senators and the provisions of the
constitution, the senate tonight, by
a vote of 7 6 to 3, put power in the
hands of two-thirds of its members
in the future to limit discussion and
v to say when a vote shall be taken on
a pending measure.
Never while the amendment is in
cointo rnlA honk can "a little
CXXC OVUUtV * ?.v - - ?
group of wilful men," as President
Wilson called those he held responsible
for the defeat of the armed neutrality
bill, prevent a vote on a bill
before the senate if two-thirds of
their colleagues will otherwise. The
organized filibuster, as recognized in
the senate, is dead.
Action came unexpectedly after
six hours' debate on the new rule
drafted by a bi-partisan committee.
Although both Democrats and Republicans
had approved the change in
caucus and Senator Martin, the majority
floor leader, had given notice
that the senate would be kept in continuous
session until a vote was taken,
nearly every one looked for a
, much longer discussion.
La Follette and Gronna.
Senators La Follette and Gronna,
< two of those who opposed the armed
neutrality bill, and Senator Sherman,
who favored it, cast the negative
votes. Senators Cummins, Kenyon,
Kirby, Lane, Norris, Stone and Vardaman,
who were against the armed
neutrality bill, voted for the amendment.
Colleagues of most of the
senators absent announced that if
V, r? Viflon nrocont thPV W'Ollld
IUCJ JLiUU C7WA1 vwv**v -* ?
have supported it.
The exact use of the rule "frill not
become apparent until it is enforced,
but it probably cannot be successfully
used to prevent the spectacular oneman
filibusters, by which senators
have talked bills pending in the closing
hours of a session to a legislative
grave. Such filibusters probably cannot
be prevented unless they are
foreseen, but an organized affair,
which must be planned two days or
more ahead of a session's end, can
be disposed of easily.
Provision of New Rule.
In brief, the new rule provides
that on petition of sixteen senators
to close debate on a pending measure
the senate by a two-thirds vote
on the following day, but one may
limit debate thereafter to one hour
to each senator. It includes the provisions
to prevent dilatory tactics and
the introduction after cloture is ordered
of amendments not germane
to the pending bill.
Many senators who favored the
change do not look upon it as a cloture
rule such as prevails in the
house of representatives, where the
i rules committee with a majority behind
it can set the limits upon speech
and the hour for a vote. Others who
fear that the action tonight merely
forecasts a more drastic change in
the future, declared it was but the
entering wedge and that the days of
the senate as the only legislative
body in the world where there cannot
be a full and free discussion are
numbered.
Cabinet Officers Visit Columbia.
Columbia, March 8.?The interdepartmental
nitrate board, composed
of Secretary of War Baker, Secretary
of the Interior Lane, and Secretary of

nitrate fixation plant at a meeting
of the local interests at the rooms of
? 1
the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon.
The cabinet officers arrived ]
shortly after 1 o'clock over the. Sea- '
board Air Line and immediately were :
taken to the Jefferson hotel, where '

eon, following which the hearing was 1
held and a trip- made to the Broad 1
and Saluda rivers.

WILL ARM VESSELS.
President Acts in Accordance With
Decision.
Washington, March lu.?The
American government today began
actual preparations for arming American
merchantment against Germany's
ruthless submarine warfare.
Ship owners having been notified of
President Wilson's decision that he
has full authority to proceed with
this policy, details were taken up so
there might be as little delay as possible
in granting requests for defensive
armament.
When vessels sail under the policy
of armed neutrality they will do so
with the full backing of the administration?expressed
in the form of
war risk insurance and naval guns
and gunners. It was made clear today
that in the background will be
the entire resources of} the United
States?ready for action should Germany
attack an American armed
ship in violation of the warning of
the American government.
Government's View.
The State department's view of defensive
armament as expressed today
was that the mere appearance of a
German submarine near an American
armed vessel would entitle the vessel
to take all measures of protection
on the presumption that the Uboat's
purpose was hostile. This was
based on Germany's announcement
that her submarines would attack
without warning any belligerent or
neutral merchantman encountered
within the barred zone.
-Whether this position will be embodied
in instructions to commanders
of American armed ships and whether
arms and ammunition will be furnished
to vessels carrying contraband
were up for discussion today,
but no announcement on either point
was authorized.
The attitude of President Wilson
has been that no steps of a belligerent
character should be taken and
that if a state of war comes it must
come through Germany's commission
of acts in clear violation of international
law.
Shoot-on-Sight Programme.
Some officials close to the president
are known to feel that in line
with this policy the United States
should not sanction a shoot-on-sight
programme which might be construed
as aggression.
Since the policy of the government
in the past has been not to insure
vessels carrying arms and ammunition
to the belligerents, it has been
considered probable that this attitude'
would be maintained. The lists
of contraband articles recognized by
the United States differ widely from
those drawn up by the various belligerents
since the outbreak of the
war and, therefore, it is believed that
only actual munitions of war will be
placed on the restricted list for the
purpose of determining what ships
are to be insured.
State Highway Board.
Columbia, March 10.?The newly
appointed State Highway commission
met here this afternoon and tonight
and organized by the election
of J. Monroe Johnson, of Marion, as
chairman and Charles O. Hearon, of
Spartanburg, as temporary secretary.
M. Goode Holmes, of the University
of South Carolina, a member, was instructed
to prepare a digest of the
highway act. The other two members
of the board are the heads of
the engineering departments of the
Citadel and Clemson college.
Must Lead France to Victory.
Paris, March 10.?In a Paris ,
boarding house kept by nuns, lives
the peasant girl who has stirred the :
imagination of the French by her
declaration that, like Joan of Arc, .
she has seen visions and heard voices ,
commanding her to rise up and guide
the soldiers of France to victory and
the deliverance of her country. She
is Mile. Perchaud, 20 years old,
daughter of a farmer of the depart- j
.? T ? Tr
LiitjiiL ui i^n v euuee. l
In accordance with the orders of
Cardinal Arnette, the nuns will not ^
permit her to be interviewed. One
pf the sisters said today:
"She is very simple and pious. To '
ill questions she invariably replies, j
Do not ask me anything, for I must ]
say nothing.' " <
Each day Mile. Perchaud goes to (
ppake her devotions at the Chapel of
Mont Marte, which contains a statue .
pf Joan of Arc. The strictest secrecy :
;s being maintained in regard to her

KKITSKS TO Sl'ItlSKMWlt OFFICK
Gibbes's Attorneys Ivxpecteri to Serve
Mandamus Papers.
Columbia, .March S.?Contending
that the statutes do not give the governor
power to revoke a commission
after once it is issued, A. A. Richardson,
chief game warden, in a statement
issued here late this afternoon,
said that, if the chief executive had
such power, "my job would have been
gone long ago." .Mr. Richardson's
expression was in criticism of the action
of Governor Manning in revoking
this morning the commission of
Wade Hampton Gibbes. of Columbia,
as chief game warden, which was issued
on February 25, and reappointing
him, effective today. On both occasions
Mr. Gibbes went to the office
of chief game warden and requested
that it be turned over to him, and
both times this request was refused
by Mr. Richardson. Mr. Richardson
contended today, as he did on February
26, that Mr. Gibbes' commission
was illegal. Before he had not received
the endorsement of the Audubon
society nor had he been confirmed
by the senate.
It is expected that Mr. Gibbes's attorneys
will serve mandamus papers
on Mr. Richardson tomorrow.
