FOOD BILL POSTPONED
CALLED UP BY ALDRICH, TfLLMAN
 DIRECTING.
South Carolinian Asked for Report by Judiciary Committee on Crum Nomination--Platt Asked
 for Time.

Washington, Dec. 8.-The Senate held only a short session today and ad- journed until Monday. An attempt to secure consideration of the pure food bill was defeated by a demand of MT. AIdrich that the bill be read at length. which brought an objection from Sem ator Tillman. who did not want the time consumed.
 At the opening of the session the Senate gave immediate attention to several minor reports from commit tees. The following were passed.
 A resolution authorizing the Presi- dent to admit Frutos Tomas Plaza, or Ecuador, to West Point Military Acad- emy for instruction.
 Resolution authorizing the payment of Senate expenses incident to the funeral ceremonies of Senators Quay of Pennsylvania and Hoar of Massa- chusetts.
 The session had not progressed far when MT. Hepburn, Idaho. called up the pure food bill, but Mir. Aidrich surgested that the bill should be read in fulI for information and 1t went over under an objection by Mir. Tillman who said that he considered any enort to get the bill up today waste or time. He said that his object was to get the matter out of the way. MT Tjllman made an inquiry concerning tba status of his resolution directing inc Committee on Judiciary to report to tbe Senate the effect of recess nom- nations. He explained that his inter est in the resolution was due to the romination of W. D. Orum to be Col ioctor of the Port of Charleston, to ,yhicb he Is opposed. He asked MT. Platt (Conn) acting Chairman of the Committee on Judiciary, Tor an expla- nation. resolution had failed to receive consid- eration during the past session because oe tbe illness of Chairman Hoar and nc nromised to bring the matter up at the newt meeting of the Committee
 "tJas the committee power to refuse to make a report when under instruc- ttons from the Senate to dor soF" MT. ,riIlman asked. whereupon MT Spooher irouired of the South Carolina Sena- for whether the resolution carried time limit, to which that senator re- pIied in the negative. He added that inc conviction that 1t would be possl- bIe to stir the matter up occasionally Tn the Senate, even though no report should be made.
 MT. Platt said that he did not feel called upon to answer a hypothetical ouestion as to the powers of the com mittee. He could only promise at this time to ask the committee to consider inc resolution and If 1t should take action and that action should not suit tbe purpose of the Senator from south Carolina. that Senator of course would follow any line of action which night commend himself to him.
 Replying, Mir. Tillman said that ne did not intend to make any facetious opposition to the Crum nomination for the purpose of thwarting the will of the President, but that he felt called on to oppose confirmation until the committee report could be received.
 The Senate then, Tt l2:2S on motion of MT. Aldrich went into executive session and at 12:45 adjourned until Monday.
