Congress Has Its Work Nearly
All Done and Representatives
Are knxl0uS to GET Home.
PREPARE FOR THE CAMPAIGN
Belief Is Growing in Washington that
Roosevelt VIII be the Party's
Choice at Chicago Convention
Think Taft Cannot Carry Enough
States to Win Election--Financial
Panic May Give Democrats House.
(From The NEWS Correspondent

Washington, Apr. Hin spite of
the tilibustering tactics of the demo-
cratic minority in the House of Rep
resentatives and the consequent de-
lay in the transaction of business, 1t
is generally believed that the repuh-
lican leaders have tentatively agreed
upon the final adjournment of con-
gress for May 10 or IL. The senate
has It's calendar cleared up there is
little business on hand in that body.
In seeking to force the republicans
to enact some measures recommend
ed by the. President the democrats
will fail to accomplish what they
would like in the way Of getting
through some of their own measures
requiring Unanimous consent" al
though they will, of course, block
some of the republicans. That some
of the recommendation made by the
President will not be needed is also
admitted by many republicans; but
it is contended that some of the
questions are too big to take UP and
enact legislation hastily.
Roosevelt For Third Term.
There is strong impression among
some of the congressman that Mr..
Roosevelt will be the nominee of the
Chicago convention Notwithstanding
his repeated declarations that he will
not be candidate. Fears are enter
tanned that Mr.. Taft will not have
sufficient strength to carry states
enough to insure his election, and
there is an impression that If nomin-
ated, he will not carry Ohio. 1t is
believed that the convention will be
at 'sixes and sevens" with several
candidates, ,sand the delegates unable
to agree, and that finally order win
develop out of chaos by the naming
Iof Mr.. Roosevelt for another term,
and he will be obliged to accept the
nomination.
There is some fear among the re-
publicans that the democrats will
have majority in the next House of
Representatives This fear is the re-
suit of the conviction that the people
may hold the party in power respon-
sible for the financial stringency, the
effects of which are still felt in differ
ent parts of the country. 1t is oe-
lieved, however, that IL the different
congressional districts are handled
properly the republicans will still re-
tain control of the house, although
with reduced majority.

Lawyer Wight At
Trenton With
The Mayor.
NOT NAMED YET.
Petition Has But 1863 Signers,
Says Mr.. Wight Sexr Step Is
Awaited City Fathers Say
Associate Counsel Is Not
Yet Retained.

James S. Wight and Mayor Boil
Bchweiler visited Attorney General
McCarter, at Trenton, yesterday rel
ative to the quo wsrranto proceed
ings which ma le instituted to de-
eide the legality of the system of the
local city government.
Mr.. Wight, who said this morning
that he was associated with City
Attorney Hommann in the matter
examined the papers which had been
filed by Lawyer Peter A. Peterson
The petition setting forth a number
of reasons, Mr.. Wight says, has only
169 signers, he having counted them
himself yesterday. Besides the petit
ton, the brief filed by Lawyer Peter
son was examined.
AS | am only an associate counsel
in the matter" said Mr.. Wight this
morning, II cannot tell just what the
city attorney intends to do. He may
turn over the entire case to me, but
has not done so yet. The attorney
general has not committed himself
in the matter yet and until he does
we do not know what course to take
l think, however, that first we must
CUmply Win the request OF MT. NC
Carter in his recent letter to Mr.
Hommann."
When asked If 1t was true that he
had been appointed special counsel
for the city in this case, Mr.. Wight
said that 1t was not. II am associate
counsel with Mr.. Hommann, that is
all" he said.
Not Engaged Yet.
Members of the judiciary commit
tee of the council and the city attor-
ney, who were empowered to retain
an associate counsel to the city attor-
ney to assist In fighting the case
seemed to know nothing about the
appointment of Mr.. Wight this morn
ing.
Mr. Wight said that he had been
named, but none of the city officials,
including the alderman-at-large adj
mitted any knowledge of the appoint
ment.
There is little doubt, however, in
the minds of city officials, that Mr..
Wight will be named, but as yet the
appointment has not been made.

mored information in regard to an
other attempt.

A Feature Was
Passage Of
Civil Service
A BITTER FIGHT
Governor Fort Took a Hand And
When Sure Of His Ground Had
Defeated Bill Recalled
Water Bill Withdrawn
Work Accomplished.
Special to The EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, Apr 11:-Although the
hands of the clocks in both the as
sembly and senate chambers pointed
to 2:55 p. NJ, five minutes before the
hour fixed for the final adjournment
of the 1921 legislature, 1t was Just
breaking day this morning when the
solons finally wound up the proceed
ings with the usual amount of horse
play. 1t had been weary all-night
grind and the legislators showed the
result of the strain.
Perhaps the most sensational
feature of the whole session occurred
late yesterday afternoon. when Gov
ernor Fort succeeded in getting
through the civil service bill which
had already been defeated in the
house. Aided by Senator Alderman,
who introduced the original bill, he
had been busy all through the nights
and days since it defeat by the ma
chine managers, rising argument and
persuasion upon the republicans to
aid him in keeping the party prom
ises to the people and begging the
democrats to accept the measure as
compromise of their desire to get
an elective commission.
AS soon, therefore, yesterday af-
ternoon that he was convinced he
had won over the necessary Ave men
from their opposition of Tuesday, he
had Pierce, of Union. who led tho
house fight on that day, move to take
from the table the motion for the re-
consideration of the vote by which the
bill was lost 1t was distinct shock
to the machine managers when this
motion carried by a vote OF thirty
five to twenty.
Big Shock for Machine.
Pierce at once moved reconHider-
alton, and this reconsidered by thirty
two to twenty-seyen and had the
effect of placing the bill on final
passage again. There was no debate.
The situation had been threshed out
so thoroughly that there did not
seem any need for more words. Then
came the big shock. The bill got
thirty-two votes, one more than
necessary for its passage, and there
were twenty-eight against 1t, showing
a change of five votes since Tuesday,
