ment of Bills.
Puts Check to Progress of Ad-
ministratiOn Measures.
WILL BE CONFIRMED.
Opposition to Appointments in
Cammittee.
Leidy and Bender Object to Cap
per and White.

A personally conducted flibuster
against the advancement of any and all
bills out of their regular order was
formally launched in the senate this
morning by Senator Frank L. Travis
of Allen county, formerly of Orange
county, n. Y. Senator Travis is one
of the open-faced, out-and-out anti
public utilities senators. He also was
brought into the glare of the calcium
by reason of his being the author of
the affinity bill which recently
passed the senate.
Senator Travis comes right out in
the open, declares that he is un-
alterably opposed to any public
utilities legislation, either of the ad-
ministration or anti-administration
variety and he has served notice on
all corners that he will be on the job
at all times ready with an effective
objection to prevent the advancem ent
out of their regular order of all bills.
Senator Travis one-man flibuster
act was put on in uncompleted form
yesterday afternoon. but it was not
fully developed until today. Early in
the morning session, the senate
"obstructionist' put the ''Kibosh"
on motions of Senator's Stavely and
Carey who sought suspension of the
Senator Stavely asked unanimous
consent to suspend the rules and ad-
vance all senate bills on the calendar
under general orders to third read
ing subject to amendment and de-
bate. Senator Carey made a similar
motion relative to the maximum
freight rate bills passed by the house.
Senator Travis, however, got his
filibuster into action and objected to
both motions and under the rules
the bills could not be advanced.
It is understood that there is plan
on foot among the senators who are
in favor of the administration utilities
measure to chop" onto the Morgan
substitute bills passed by the house,
and endeavor to defeat their passage
by the senate. If this proceeding is
followed the plan will undoubtedly
have the support of Senator Travis
and those senators who are opposed
to any utilities legislation whatever.
The consideration of these bills. which
may take place this afternoon. prom
ises to develop some interesting de-
bate.
