REPUBLICANS FAIL
TO GET TOGETHER
Hopeless Division in Senate Means
That Many important Measures
vii Have to Go Over.

/ washington, April 22.--At meeting
OF the Republican steering committee
.of the Senate yesterday afternoon the
legislative program was discussed but
no decision was reached to add any
important measures to those destined
ior enactment at the present session
ol Congress. In connection with cur
rency legislation 1t was stated that If
the House passed a bill providing for
"a commission to investigate financial
matters the Senate would immediately
upon receipt of the measure vote to
add the Aldrich currency bill with a
view OF putting the whole subject in.
to conference
Senator Aldrich made it clear that
! II there was to be financial legisla
ton OF any character at this session II
~euld be along the line, of what al
ready had been done in the Senate
with concurrence in the provision fol
commission to sit during the re-
cess of Congress to consider currency
matters.
Senator Hale told his colleagues on
the committee that the sentiment OF
the Senate was against the four bat
tleship scheme advocated by the Pres
ident and that it would be useless ia
try to get an appropriation for more
than two battleships at this session.
1t appeared from the discussion
, that there were few measures in ad
dition to appropriation bills that have
any prospect for passage at the pres
ent session. Senator Beveridge de-
clared that it would be bad politics
for Congress to adjourn without pass
ing some of the measures desired by
the President and that "the do moth
ing" policy would be heard of in the
coming campaign. He spoke of the
difficulty Republican campaigners
would have in answering the charges
that the Presidents program for bene
ficial legislation had been ignored by
a Republican Congress. He was par
ticularly urgent in demanding con
sideration for an anti-injunction bill
and for the proposed amendments tc
the Sherman antitrust law.
Although no date for adjournment
was considered it was generally
agreed that the business of the ses
sion could be concluded about the
middle of May unless the minority
filibustering in the House should pro
long the session. Senator Beveridge
opposed an adjournment without ar
effort to carry out the Presidents pol
icy or some action showing disposi
ton to revise the tariff, such as the
appointment of commission. To ig
more these things, he said, would be q
grave mistake.

Washington, April 22.---ln charact-
eristically humorous speech Mr..
Cushman, (Washington), in the House
of Representatives yesterday after
noon poked fun at Minority Leader
John Sharp Williams because Of his
filibustering. Mr.. Cushman began by
refuting the statement which he said
was heard in many Democratic quart
ers that the duty on wood pulp was
a tax on intelligence. Mr. Cushman
favored the reduction Of the tariff on
one or two things on broad lines and
on behalf of all industries.
As regarding Mr.. Williams, Mr..
Cushman said he had a warm person
al friendship for him, but I some
times wonder how I can cherish as
warm personal feelings for a gentle.
man whose policies inspire me chiefly
with apprehension and distrust." That
remark set everybody laughing and
when he added, "T am inclined to think
that 1t Is largely by reason Of sympa-
thy" the laughter grew into an uproar.
He said he naturally sympathized with
any man upon whose shoulders is plac-
ed the tremendous responsibility of
trying to convince the American peo-
pie that the mass Of organized incom-

England. it was noticed that one of his

Search was made for the gallant SOL

standard, and the wedding ring which
he always wore still encircled the fin

the gloved hand. With this historic

"~ ELILY! You Delilyw called
Captain Drew sharply from
~ the door of the cottage which
fronted the marshes at the
mouth of Squanton river.
At the sound of his voice a girl Of
fifteen, who had been half hidden by
the marsh grass while slowly making
her way in boat through the narrow,
winding salt stream, stood upright and
looked calmly toward the shore. The
light of the sunset was on her face,
softening its habitually grave and de-
termined expression.
"Come ere, l said," repeated the
man, coming down the path to the d.
lapidated float. The girl; still standing,
leaned on her oar and pushed the boat
to its moorings.

showed apprehension Of some out

long, work stained finger in the direc-

With some dismay Delilah saw the
high backed, old fashioned pew which
they had occupied so long in Squan-
ton church leaning against the porch.
They've ripped 'em all out" contin-
ued her father in snarling tone. "Hig-
ging's boys been wheelin' all of 'em

They got to hev op'ry chairs"
"Oh, no, dad. They have decided to
put in good. comfortable hardwood
pews, and they will give you one.'
Il don't want it! l won't hev it!' he
cried excitedly. "They didn't hev the
right to rip up my pew unless l said
they could"
"But they voted, dad, and Mr.. Doane
says church property amt like other

captain sourly. "If I'd "a knowed they
