House.
WASHINGTON, April THE house
passed another day in unavailtng %flibuster-
ing On the direct tax bill and finally took
a recess until Monday. The only thing

that measure without limitation being
placed upon the five minute debate and
without agreement as to the definite time
when the previous question should be
considered as ordered. The parliament
taTy status of the bill, however, remains
unchanged. 1t is thought this position
will be accepted,

clustering with the direct tax bill. 1t was

whether it would be in order for the great

sentatiyes. The speaker pro tenn was not
