Senate Committee on Judiciary
Holds There Can be No Con-
structiye Recess.
(By the Associated Press. J

Washington. Feb. 28.-The Senate
Committee OH the Judiciary today by
adopting the views of Senator Spoon
er concerning recess nominations, and
what constitutes q recess of the Sem
ate has declared that there can be
no constructive recess. The decision,
liz it were given any legal standing by
action OF the Senate would affect the
nominations of General Leonard
Wood, DR.. w. ID. Crum, collector Of
the port of Charleston, S. c., and 166
other nominations sent TO the Senate
in the inflnitismal period between
the adjournment of the special ses-
sion convened on November 8. 1908,
and the convening of the regular
session on December z, the two ses-
sions having merged. All the nomi-
nations were sent to the Senate later
and confirmed. but the officers drew
salaries for the time the Senate Com
mittee now decides they were not
serving under authority of law.
The question originally was raised
by Senator Tillman, who opposing the
confirmation of Collector Crum, in 4
resolution asked that the Committee
on the Judiciary construe the statutes
and the Constitution concerning re-
cess appointments and define the term
| recess"
Referring to the word recess the
committees report says:
"It means. in our Judgment, in this
connection the period of time when
the Senate is not sitting i'm regular
or extraordinary session as branch
of the Congress, or in extraordinary
session for the discharge of execu-
tive functions: when its members owe
no duty of attendance: when its
chamber is empty: When because of
lis absence it cannot receive COM
munications from the President OIL
participate as a body in making ap-
pointments.
There was not a moment when
the President could not, had he chose
chosen, have sent nominations TO the
Senate. 1t was in session to receive
any nominations or message me might
communicate. There was no recess
within the letter or spirit Of the con-
stitution and therefore, there was no
right to issue commissions and induct
the officers commissioned into office.
1.-THE theory Of constructive re-
cess' constitutes a heavy draft upon
the imagination, for it involves n con-
structive ending of one session q con-
structive beginning of another and a
constructive recess between the two.

Russian Headquarters, Huan Noun
tain, Manchuria. Feb. 2S.-The jap
anese attack was renewed at dawn
yesterday along the whole eastern
front and Da Pass was taken after
fighting of the most stubborn char
acter. An engagement simultaneous
~ was in progress on the front ex-
tending almost twenty miles from the
extreme left, eastward to Kandolesan,
where the Japanese opened heavy
artillery fire, to the district of Laolin-
zan, where the Japanese advanced in
great force meeting with stubborn re-
sistance.
The capture of Da Pass opens the
road to Sushun. east of Mukden and
Tie Pass. but the Russians are gath
ering a strong force to meet the
threatened attack on their line of
communications.
The Japanese attack was support
ed by q strong piece of artillery, a
reserve of seven batteries being dis
covered east of Kandolesan. which is
yet silent.
The japanese army now holds a
line from Syaobehe, opposite Diam
hantan through Shahopao along the
Shakhe River to VanuDudzi and
thence to Da Pass and Toumadzi,
southeastward.
The Japanese have effected a cross
ing of the Shakhe at Vanupudzi and
attacked the Russian center under
cover of darkness, February 26, driv-
ing back the Russian advance posts,
but supports came up and stopped the
Japanese advance. The officer in
command of the japanese heard the
Russians cry out that their cartridges
were exhausted and they thereupon
advanced incautiously and received a
volley at point blank range, losing
heavily.

After calling attention to the vast
increase in the deficiencies this year
over those of last year. MIR. Living
ston (Ga.) asserted that there must
be something radically wrong In the
management of the departments. He
said that in his opinion its was due to
contracts made and expenditures un-
authorized and he thought the prac-
tice should stop.
The best way to correct the grow
ing evil was to adoot the provision
referred 10 by Mr.. Hcmenway. As an
illustration of the extent to which de-
ficiencies were piled up he cited the
items in the bill Of $14,960.775 for
