ADJOURNMENT TODAY?
Business May Be Cleared Up Quickly
LEADERS Are Hopeful.

Washington, May 2s.-Aside from the
currency bill both houses of Congress
are in good condition for final adjourn
ment tomorrow. All the appropriation
bills except tht general deficiency have
been passed by both houses and the
conference reports on all except that
have been finally accepted by the con-
ference and the general deficiency bill
reached agreement several days ago
and they Will be ready to present their
report as soon as the House shall act
upon the omnibus building bill The
latter bill has been agreed to in con-
ference and the Senate has accepted
the conference report. The conference
report has been held up in the House.
however, as a weapon with which to
force the Senate to act upon the cur
rency bill and it will be put through
that body within q few minutes after
notification Of the Senates action on
the currency question.
Both the Senate and the House will
be required to act on the conference
report on the general deficiency bill
but it can be put through in short or
der. Anticipating that the building bill
would become a law the conference
committee has Incorporated in the de-
ficiency bill the amounts necessary to
| carry the former into effect and as
| thus perfected it is printed and pre-
pared for final presentation 10 both
houses. They have even gone to the
extent Of printing the bill as it will
become a law. Consequently it could
be acted on by both the Senate and
House within two hours time There
are number of other important meas
uros in conference but none except
the currency bill, the deficiency bill or
the building bill would be permitted to
defer adjournment for any length of
time
That adjournment will be reached to-
morrow the leaders of the House are
confident TIE Senate leaders are not SO
confident, but they are hopeful. In the
latter body all will depend on The cur
rency bill. More speeches are expected
on that measure and it is evident that
| if the end comes tomorrow it will be
| late i'll the day.

DOESN'T EXPECT 1T.
Gen. Wright Says He Is Not Likely to
Succeed Secretary Taft.

Washington, May 2S.-The fact that
information is refused by responsible
parties in regard to the accuracy OF
the published statement that Gen.
Luke +. Wright Of Tennessee has been
selected to succeed Secretary Taft up
on the retirement of the latter from the
war department.. goes far toward con-
firming the belief that there may be
and probably is, foundation for the
story. General Wright is no longer ac-
counted Democrat by the Tennessee
Republicans in the Senate and House
and in fact they assert that President
Roosevelt has found his strongest sup
porter in his Philippine policies in Gen.
Wright. The latter was with the Presi-
dent about two weeks ago, when it is
presumed the possibility Of his selec-
ton was preached to him. and it is
only fair to assume that the hesitancy
Of the officials here in making any
statement may be based upon the fact
thar Gen. Wright has not yet himself
decided what disposition to make Of
the offer.

COTTON EXCHANGES.
More Of Commissioner Smiths Report
on Their Workings.

Washington. May 2S.-Herbert Knox
Smith, commissioner of corporations,
today made public the second and third
parts Of his report of the operation
of cotton exchanges Of the United
States dealing with the classification
Of cotton ana THE range of grades
deliverable on contract"
The commissioner finds that in New
York there is over-grading and over
classification of cotton. while in New
Orleans. there appears to be under
grading. The commissioner urges the
adoption Of system of uniform
grades, if possible, thus simplifying
business and putting an end to seri-
Gus abuses.
The report considers at length the
criticism directed at the large number
of grades now deliverable on future
contracts, and Commissioner Smith
says that the Importance of the ex-
changes of New York and New Orleans
and their effect on the cotton industry
render it desirable that consideration
be given to practical lines of improve
ment in methods.

WHITM0RE MAKES :
4 GOOD WITNESS.

Scene OF His Wife'S Murder.

New York, May 2s.--With the telling
of the defendants own story on the
witness stand late today, the trial Of
Theodore S. Whitmore OF Brooklyn,
charged with having murdered his wife
and thrown her body in the Lamp
Black swamp in Harrison, y. J.. came
to a close in the court Of o-'er and
terminer in jersey City 50 far as tie
taking Of testimony is concerned. The

an albi and his appearance On the
stand followed the giving Of testimony
by others in his behalf covering his
movements in considerable detail on

York City and at another in the same
city shortly after / O'Clock in the

the contention of the defence. it would
have been impossible for him TO travel

with which the state charges him.
