Senators Root and Carter Dwell Upon
Necessity of Protecting the
Credit of the United
States.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-After labor
ing today for almost six hours in atmos-
phere surcharged with the electricity gem
Grated by sharp conflict of opinion the
senate again failed to reach a vote on the
postal savings bank bill and once more
took recess until the following day.
The result of this action is that the
legislative day of March Is continued
until tomorrow. There is some uncer-
tainty as to whether final action even then
Will be reached
When the recess was taken Senator Car
ter stated seven or eight senators had ex-
pressions yet to be delivered and he did
not want to guess how many other
speeches these might provoke.
Six Hours of OratOry.
Not during the several weeks that the
postal bill has been before the senate has
there been a day of debate approaching in
any degree the proceedings of today. Be
ginning at 1880 o'clock the flow of ora
tory continued without interruption until
after 8 o'clock, when in utter despair Of
reaching the end Mr.. Carter moved re-
cess until 11;45 a. m tomorrow, when
the linguistic exercises will be resumed.
During the day there were speeches by
Senators Root Carter, Cummins, Rayner.
Clapp, Borah, Clay, Newlands and num-
Der of others representing almost as many
views as there were speakers.
The Cumming amendment to the Smoot
amendment, limiting to times of war the
exigencies in which the postal. funds may
be withdrawn from the banks in which
they are deposited. was the technical sub
ject Of discussion during the entire sitting
and during that time there were many
rather acrid exchanges of Views.
Root ana Carter Speak.
Senator Root dwelt especially upon tho
nece ssity OF protecting the credit of the
country and he appealed strongly to the
patriotism OF senators in that interest
Mr. Carter strongly seconded this appeal
and drew even more vivid picture of the
possibility of an unexpected national de-
mand for funds than was presented by the
New York senator
Both Senators ClayNand Cummins charged
Mr.. Smoot with Inconsistency in originally
presenting an amendment prohibiting the
withdrawal of the postal funds from the
local banks and following that up with
another provision authorizing such with
drawal in the contingency OF need for the
funds by the government.
Mr.. Smoot defended his course as due to
the fact that he had been convinced Of the
uncoDstitutionality of tho proposed law
without some provision iustifying It under
the borrowing clause of the constitution.
Senator Carter stated frankly that his
change of position was due to. the parlia-
mentary necessity of putting the bill in
such shape as to insure a majority vote
for It,

BANK HEAD ENDS LIFE.
Grief Over Suicide of Friend Leads
TO Second Death.

Memphis, Nov 11.-Grief over the death
of his benefactor in business circles,
coupled with unbalanced state OF mind
caused by mis- narrow escape from death
when the building I'm which he was on
duty collapsed. is advanced by medical
attendants es the cause for the suicide
to-day OF d. Francis Schas. president of
the Continental Savings Bank, who, in
addition TO taking strychnine. stood be-
fore a. mirror in the public pavilion in
OyeTton Park, sending a bullet through
his brain to make sure or his death.
The dead man, according to physicians,
has brooded over the suicide Of Presi-
dent c. W. Schultz, OF the First National
Bank of Memphis. who hanged himself
to a bedpost al Battle Creek, Michs some
time agO. Mr.. Schultz was a close friend
Of President Schas, and this, following
the collapse OF the former building occu-
pied by the Continental Bank. is advanced
as one reason for mis- rash act to-day.
Continental Bank officials admit recent
financial loss in a failure here. but scout
this as the reason why President Schas
should take his own life. Bishop Thomas
F. Gailor, Of the Episcopal church, an in
innate friend of President Schas, says
that il was general worry that caused
him 10 commit suicide.
The officials decided to place the Con-
tinental Bank in the hands of a receiver.
The stock has been quoted at 800.

Tolstoi was. accompanied by DR. Mako

despair. The news IS confirmed from other

Early Left an Orphan.
Count Leo Tolstoi was born on August
g, ISIS. at a place near Tula, about $50
miles south of Moscow. His mother died
when he was three years old. and his
father six years afterwaTd. His early
schooling was under the influence Of the
general feeling among wealthy Russians
that religion was q superstition.
In 1854 the Crimean war caused the
young man TO apply for an active service.
But in the interval he wrote many short
stories, which attracted the attention OF
the literary set in Moscow and in ST.
Petersburg. In the Crimean campaign
Tolstoi distinguished himself by brave and
effective service.
He soon became utterly disgusted with
his surroundings in St Petersburg and
with his own life there. He described
himself afterward as having been a muir

Married Professors Daughter.
Count Tolstoi was married In December,
1852. TO the daughter OF a Moscow Uni
versity professor. In her society he
found the utmost comfort and happiness.
They had nine children, but the cares OF
motherhood did not prevent the countess
from serving as his amanuensis all
through his labors as an author.
One of Tolstois first acts in retiring 10
his country estate was TO free his serfs
In advance Of the decree Of the Car.
He is said 20 have been the first noble
man to free his serfs. He devoted him
