ADJOURN IN TWO WEEKS.
Congressman Begin to See Their Way
Out, They Think.

Washington. May 9.-Strong efforts
will be made to have congress adjourn
not later than two weeks from today.
Representative Tawney announces that
the house committee on appropria-
tons, of which he is chairman, will
begin work on the general deficiency
bill today and he will try to report
the measure by next Thursday. This
is the last of the big appropriation
bills and it will probably go through
the house without much discussion.
The public buildings bill will be re-
ported by the committee on buildings
and grounds as soon as Chairman
Bartholdt is sure of a right of way for
it. 1t is conceded that this measure
will be rushed through the house.
A leader in the senate and an i'm
portant member of the finance COM
mittee is quoted as saying that he
thought congress would be able to ad-
journ on May %. The only legislation
which he thought probable outside of
the appropriation bills. child labor
bill for the District and possibly a
rampaign publicity bill, was an emer-
gency currency BILL

the Consumers Heat, Light & Power
company, F 6. Dreaming. the city at
torney. and Mr.. Meagher went over
the law questions involved and then
decided to take up the matter more
fully by mail. Mr.. Meagher will brief
his arguments based on decisions
handed down upon questions which
are similar to those involved in the
present controversy and send the brief
to the city attorney If the city at
torney after going over the objections
