And then at 4:45 the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow.
While the doors were closed Mr. Cockrell
called the House resolution providing for a
holiday recess from yesterday till January

TO adjourn from today until January g.
Mfr. Chandler opposed adtourpng today.
1t was the first time In the history of the
Senate. he thought, when that body had ad-
journed over the holidays with hundred
vacancies on its committees.
Then, too, there had been a great deal
said within the last few days about the
importance of the crisis that VI as now upon
the country, and there was a good deal of
talk about foreign questions. He asked
what would be said if The Senate thus ran
away.
A number Of other Republicans urged that
the Senate remain In session until next
Tuesday, by which time they hoped the
Democrats would have agreed upon their
representation on the Senate committees.
and those committees could thuss be reor-
ganized before the members left for the
holidays.
Mr. Gorman and Mr.. Cockrell of the Demo-
cratic steering committee-told their Re-
publican associates that they could not get
ready by Tuesday and there was no use for
the Republicans to hope that they could
secure the committees before tile HOLIDAYS
The Republicans, they said. had Ia ken three
weeks In which to do their work, and it
was not to be expected that the Democrats
could do theirs in as many days.
It being apparent that the Democrats
had taken determined stand on this mat
ter, and the eaIl-important v Venezuelan resolu-
House, there appeared to be no good rea-
son why the Republicans should press the
matter any further, and they consented to
the idea advanced by Mr.. German that the
matter 20 over until after the recess with
out further debate. THIS was done and the
resolution amended so as to provide for
adjournment today until January 6.
