Then Evans gave Atherton and Cd

Leahy made fine catch of McMahon's
foul fly. Coughlin batted out a fly to
Murray In right field. Murray lined the
ball to the plate to shut out Ritcher's
run and retire the side. But Ritcher
slid around Leahy just as the latter got
the ball and swung around TO put IL on

this play, and soon afterward he and
Odwell started combination base

WORK OF CONGRESS

Washington. ylne L. Another day

less discussion of the war revenue
measure. Not the slightest material
progress was made toward disposing
of the bill. Speeches We're made by
Mr.. Mason of Illinois, Mr.. Lodge or
| Massachusetts and Mr.. Elkins Of West
Virginia. Mr.. Mason strongly adyO-
| Gated an amendment 10 the bill placing
n tax upon wheat -four adulterated
either with clay or with corn flour.
and presented a long statement by the
National Association of American
Millers in support of his contention.
Mr.. Lodge had intended TO defend his
action in offering the Hawaiian annex
alton resolution as an amendment 10
the pending bill, but r~efrained be
cause, he said, a secret session would
be demanded if that discussion was
started. After commenting somewhat
severely upon the arrogance OF the
minority which prevented action upon
n question which the administration
and a majority of both branches OF
congress desired to dispose OF, he be-
gan a discussion of onle questions
arising out of the present war. Eyi-
IDENTIFY believing this not a proper sub
ject for public discussion Mr.. Turpie
forced a secret legislative session. In
the open session that followed Mr..
Elkins discussed the general features
of thu pending bin, opposing the cor
poration tax, the tax on bank deposits
and the issue of ~gTeenbacks, and
strongly advocated the issue of bonds.
In the House.
The house passed 4 bill authorizing
the construction of a railway bridge

City, Ark: also n concurrent resolution
directing the commission now codify-
ing the criminal laws TO prepare and
submit a code of civil law and pro-
ceduTe for Alaska. 4 number of pri-
waite bills were passed and the house.
in committee of the whole, considered
a bin authorizing the secretary OF the
treasury 10 keep open during June and
July this year such life saving sta
tons ON the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
as he might deem advisable. The bill
was urged by the secretary of the
navy, providing for the continuance in

junct TO the naval and coast signal

sion the bill was amended 10 carry

passed.
