Early Action Expected Washington. Feb. 1(1—Annmvpil liv the finance committee, 8 to 3, the bill passed Friday by the house giving congressional sanction to the British debt settlement agreement was re ported formally today to the senate. < halrman McCumber Indicated that it was his intention to call the meas ure up the middle of next week, but whether it would be possible to dis place at this time the administration shipping bill, now the unfinished busi ness of the senate, remained lo be de veloped. Ono republican, I.a Follette, Wis consin, and two democrats. Walsh, Massachusetts and Gery. lthode Is land, voted against the bill in com mittee, while ono democrat, Wil liams, Mississippi, ./Supported it. The seven republicans voting for a favorable report, were McCumber, North Dakota; Smoot, Utah; Watson, Indiana; Curtis, Kansas; Dillingham, Vermont; Calder, New York, and Fre linghuysen. New Jersey. , e A brief hearing on the bill was held the committee behind closed doors, Venator Smoot, a member of the American debt commission, going into some details of the negotiations with the British commission. Wanted More Information. Some committeemen thought more information than supplied by Mr. Smoot should bo sought before the committee acted but they were out voted. Senator Walsh wanted the record of the negotiations brought be fore the committee, while Senator I.a Follette sought to summon Elliot ■Wadsworth, assistant secretary of the treasury, and secretary of the com mission. Senator Smoot was reported to nave told the committee that the agreement entered into was a modification of the original American proposal, which contemplated a flat interest rate of 3 1-2 per cent over the entire period the loan was to run. This was unac ceptable to the British government and the terms finally agreed upon—3 per cent for the first 10 years and 3 1-2 per cent thereafter—then were proposed. Refuse to Delay Note. After the request, of Senator Reed. , democrat, Missouri, Senator Walsh re qu sted Uwtt the vote be deferred until next Thursday when Senator Tteed expects to return to Washing ton. hut repiublican leaders wanted to get the measure on the senate calen dar Immediately. They did agree, however, not' to call i; up in the sen ate until Senator Reed returned. Committee democrats opposing the legislation agreed to not resort to ob structive tactics during senate consid eration of the bill and republican lead ers were hopeful of getting a vote after debate of one or two days. There were some Indications, how • ver, that the discussion would b« rather general and that several sena tors s^ulil insist upon more Infer rnation regarding the debt negotia t ions than has been made public. Only one minor change was mad in the house bill. This is in altera tion of text and the expectation was that if it should be approved by the senate the house would accept it wlth i ut sending the measure to conferees and thus delaying final congressional action.

Enemies Lay New Plans 'Washington, Feb. 10.—With con gress adjourning sine illo at tlie end of another three weeks, the troubles of the much harassed administration shipping bill have multiplied so that even its friends said tonight that its ultimate fate was shrouded In In creased doubt. Several new plans of attacks upon t the bill were laid today, and a com- I promise move among republicans dc- I siring drastic amendments was Insti tuted at a conference with President Harding at the White House. Senator Me Nary, republican, Oregon, author of several amendments modifying the subvention and other provisions of the bijl. together with several sen ators, discussed a compromise plan with the president, hut action went over until next week, when Chairman I,asker of the shipping hoard is to he consulted. Will Preliminary Victory. In the senate, administration forces won a preliminary victory when they were able, by a vote of 31 to 25. to order that the senate meet earlier than usual next Monday to resume consideration of the bill. Seven re publican opponents of the shipping bill voted with the democrats against the proposal, but the totals were hail ed by administration senators as a barometer of strength if they could bring the bill to a vote. Administra tion leaders claimed 53 pledges for the bill, but some of these were said tfc favor radical revision. I.ate today, after another speech of nearly five hours by Senator Fletcher, democrat, Flbriila, against the bill, Senator Jones, republican, Washing ton, the administration manger for the measure, proposed another agree ment to curtail debate in an effort to bring about a vote. Under the plan each senator would be limited, after February 18. to one hour on the bill and 30 minutes on amendments. If the hill should not be passed, a still sharper limit would become i fTectivo February 2ft. Oppose Proposal. Opponents indicated they would re fuse the unanimous consent for such an agreement when it is brought up for action Monday. Although Sena tor Jones’ program contemplates hold ing the bill continually before the aehri» until P»ta*n<iry 10, *t leust, senators in charge of the ltrttish debt funding bill, reported to the senate today from committee, said they would move to bring it up early next week, probably Tuesday or Wcdnes day. Tills move Is expected to have the opposition of Senator Jones, who said that If laid aside once more, the shipping bill would be virtually de feated. With republican leaders tints in dis agreement, the bill's opponents were preparing new moves against the pro posed legislation. A motion next Mon day to recommit the bill, possibly with Instructions to adopt some of the McN’ary amendments, was planned from the democratic side, while re publican advocates of the Capper truth In fabric bill were planning a motion to have it supplant the ship ping measure. Day s Activities w in Washington V? Federal authorities considered n re quest of the New York stale fuel ad ministrator for a partial embargo against nnthraelte shipments to Can ada.

The Interstate Commerce commis sion approved control of the Central Pacific by the Southern Pacific com pany under lease and stock owner ship. The house adopted a Joint resolu tion directing the shipping board to pay the Norwegian arbitration ship claims of $11,955,000 from its claims fund. The senate finance com mi t tee voted a favorable report on the Prltish debt refunding legislation with minor amendments as passed by the bouse.

Fenton Refused Chance to Talk j on Crime Bills House Committee Approvesj Bryan Bill Repealing Inde deterininate Sentence Law —Warden Is Opposed. By I*. C. POWELL, Staff Correspondent Tba Omalta Bee, Lincoln, I*’eb. 10.—(Special.)—The house judiciary committee, by a vote of 5 to 3, has favorably recommended the Bryan bill, repealing the indeter minate sentence law, without comply ing with a request of W arden \V. T. Fenton and Gus Miller, superintend ent of the state reformatory, that they . bo given a hearing before action was taken. The same committee has stamped a favorable recommendation on a series of bills which, If passed, will make granting of parole, commutation or pardon next to Impossible. There Is considerable indignation In official circles here at the failure of 1 the committee to comply with the re- 1 quest of these two official* for n 1 hearing, as it Is felt that both Fenton | and Miller know as much. If not more, about laws governing convicts than i anyone else. May Force Hearing. An attempt may be made next week to force these bills back to the com mittee and give the two officials an opportunity to be heard. It Is de- j dared the custom alwajs has been to give persons Interested in bills an opportunity to be heard before a com mittee, as they are, under the law, voiceless when tho bills are consid ered before the houso or hoi-ate. "I certainly will Insist that if this bill to kit! the In-'* terminate geiitence haw goes through the house, that the senate committee give me due notice in advance so I can be heard," War den Fenton said today. Other committee bills reported out favorably give option to trial courts to Impose life sentences on persons convicted of certain major crimes. One bill would make maximum for robbery of persons in banks', life, but the committee hesitated and finally fixed the maximum sentence for such a crime at 25 years. Only One Ilryan Plan. Non# of these mra -uo s, « opting the indeterminate sentence bill, em !>ndy the governor's suggestion.". They w. re introduced by Ralph Wilson, a Lincoln attorney. Tho series makes it impossible for persons convicted of crimes enumerated to apply for par don. commutation or parole unless suhstnntlated new evidence of in nocence is presented.

With Commissioner Campbell, who entered a partially concurring opinion, he n ncluded that the Central Pacific company, by Its peculiar na ture as a c r; .tion. could not legal ly lease i‘s lines to the Southern Pacific without special federal legis lation.
