When the House reconvened at ten

under the Legislative fiction. As the con-
ferees on the naval bill We're not ready to

AT noon the legislative day of Thurs

with difficulty pers uade members TO re-

Mr.. Lentz Held Up Special Leg

Washington, June I'm marked con-
trast with the exciting incidents attending
the bitter struggles of the closing hours
Of the session, Speaker Henderson laid
down his gavel at five o'clock this after
noon at the conclusion Of one Of the most
picturesque scenes which has ever oc-
CURED in the hall of representatives.
Party passion and personal rancour
which have brought the House to the
brink Of actual riot several times during
the last forty eight hours, gave way in
the closing half hour to good fellowship,
which found vent in patriotic outburst
that stirred the crowded galleries to the
highest enthusiasm. During brief re-
cess, taken within thirty minutes Of the
time fixed for the final adjournment TO
give the President an oppc rtI.;ls to Hnix
his signature to the bills that were icing
rushed to him for approval, group of
members led by Mr.. Mercer of Nebraska,
Mr.. Ball of Texas, Mr.. Fitzgerald of
Massachusetts, and Mr.. Tawney of Mime
sofa, congregated in the area to the lett
Of the Speakers rostrum and began sing
ing patriotic air. Columbia the Gem
of the Ocean," "Auld Lang Syne," the
Red, White and Blue' successfully
rang. As the singing proceeded members
joined the group until ths entire member
ship of the House joined In the chorus
The spectators in the galleries applauded
each song until the strains of Dixie filed
the hall. Then their unbounded enthusi-
asm broke out in wild cheers. But the
enthusiasm that "Dixie" evoked was not
TO be compared with the demonstration
which followed when, in a clear ringing
tenor. Mr.. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts,,
started the National Anthem with the
words "Ohl Say Can You See By The
Dawn's Early Light" In an instant all
the men, women and children in the gal
leries were on their feet joining in the
singing.
The chorus from thousands of threats
re reverberated through the hall. The ladies
kept time to the rhythm OF the music
with their handkerchiefs and the men
beat the measure with their hands. The
Speaker pausing as he entered the hall,
raised his voice also.
The principal feature of the closing day
in the House was the reversal of its ac-
tion last night in turning down the con-
ferees on the naval bill for yielding on
the item relating to ocean survey. Over
night the sentiment of the House under
went a complete change and today the
members voted by a large majority to ac-
cept outright the Senate amendment
which goes further than the compromise
which the conferees offered last night.
The other feature of the closing day
was the course of Mr.. Lentz of Ohio, in
blocking unanimous consent legislation.
For three days he had objected to bills
because the majority would not allow the
testimony in the Occur d'Alene investi-
cation to be printed, and he maintained
his position to the end.
