Recesses for Refreshments.
This recess" re remarked, fought


"This recess" re remarked, fought to
put US all in better humor. 1t will enable
senators to get home, have dinner and
take a nap or whatever may be requisite
to refresh Them This comment was
greeted with laughter, and the Senate
adopted the motion for a recess.
The post Office appropriation bill was
laid before the Senate Immediately after
the reconvening. 1t soon became evident
that Senator Owen was not to abandon
his efforts to force some of the appropria-
ton bills over to an extra session, and
when Senator Stone started speech on
the bill after the first reading was over
it appeared that he was aiding Mr.. Owen.
Senator Beveridge Immediately wanted to
know if Mr.. Stone desired to defeat the
bill Senator Stone denied any intention
to Obstruct the passage of appropriation
bills, but said he desired to assure Mr..
Taft that no great harm would come to
the country if the big supply bills were
not rushed through with hasty considera-
ton.
Senator Owen continued his tactics. Re-
marking that it appearing that no ma
Jority member of the committee was go
ing to explain the bill, he announced he
would explain it, and began reading eX-
tensively from the hearings. He yielded
to Senator Bankhead, and he maintained
there was Joker" in the bill-the con-
livery appropriations would result in the
ruin of the rural delivery service.
Senator Bailey succeeded in striking out
on a point of order the provision for the
installation of an experimental parcel
post service on few rural routes.
Shifting Burden to Democrats.
At 1915 o'clock. when little progress
had been made in passing the bill. Sena-
tor Beverage asked that the considera-
ton of the tariff board bill be resumed.
Senator Hale moved to take up the naval
appropriation bill. That motion was de-
feated on a roll call, 26 to 81, and the dis
cussion of the tariff board bill was started
The republican leaders had been con-
WINGED that the democratic filibuSter on
the appropriation bills was an earnest
one and that the party could avoid a
political pitfall by allowing the democrats
to take the responsibility for the failure
of appropriation bills at this session. So
they generally supported the move to lay
the tariff board bill before the Senate
again.
Secretary Norton was at the Capitol
during the evening, endeavoring to induce
democrats to let the supply bills go
through.
When the tariff board bill was again
before the Senate the democratic fill
buster against it was resumed. The
agreement to vote on the measure at $50
o'clock tomorrow morning followed about
. O'Clock; and the naval appropriation
bill was then taken UP. Adjournment
was taken at a. m when the absence of
q quorum developed.

Senator Carter said 1t was the duty Of
members to enact the appropriation
measures and he declared that democrats
would not be justified in forcing the sup
ply bills into an extra session. He point
ed out that on two occasions within the
memory of some of the senators pres
ent the democrats had enacted appro-
priation bills to cover the expenses Oh
the government for a period in which a
republican administration was to bA In
control. This statement was in response
to the assertion of Senator Owen that
appropriation bills should be turned over
to the new democratic Congress.
Just as every one began to breathe easy
in the confidence that the proposal was to
be accepted Senator Hepburn objected to
any unanimous consent agreement which
had string attached to it" The string
of which he complained was tacit UNI
derstanding that I'm the event of the
adoption of Senator Carriers suggestion a
recess should be taken Immediately. so
that the exhausted Senate could get some
rest. Mr.. Hepburn said he would not
consent to the fixing of a time for vote
unless the Senate proceeded Immediately
to the consideration. of appropriation
bills.

Democratic Senators Bitter.

Considerable bitterness was exhibited
by democratic senators when Mr.. Stone
was taken from the floor. The Missouri
senator himself protested loudly that the
record of his previous speeches should be
read SO that the Senate might judge
whether he had exhausted his right un-
der the rules to speak on the tarin board
bill The Vice President declined to read
these speeches and called Mr.. Stone to
order when he declared the ruling Of the
chair to be arbitrary and unjust" MIR.
Stone repeating the charge, then sat
down.
Senator Overman protested against the
word of the stenographer being taken
as against the word of a senator. Mr..
Sherman said that the word of the SEN
atOr had not been given; that when called
twice that day the senator had declared
that he could not recall having done So.
Mr.. Sherman said his only course had
been to have the records Of debate ex-
amined.
Not having any speakers present who
would undertake to hold the floor for
the remainder of the night and during
the following forenoon Senator Stone was
a willing listener to suggestion which
came a short time later from Senator
Carter of Montana. 1t was proposed by
Mr.. Carter that a time be fixed Sat
urday. for a vote on the tariff board bill.
so that all of today and tonight could
be devoted to the consideration OF ap-
preparation bills and bills on the calendar.

HUGS RESCUER OF CHILD
Mother Rewards Policeman Who
Saves Daughter from River.

Lifesayers are wont to complain that
after risking their lives to save some
fiounderer In the water they are frequently
dismissed without even a thank you. The
exception to the rule occurred yesterday.
when ratrolman Freilohe. of the West 18th
street station, who Is member Of the
lifesaving corps at 1sSth street and the
Hudson River. plunged into the water and
rescued Frances Leon, five years old.
The patrolman's reward was hearty
hug from the child's mother who lives at
No. 2O57 Eighth avenue. The mother wished
to bestow more hugs. but desisted when the
patrolman told her he was married man.
The little girl had been warned time and
time again not to go near the water. She
did love 10 wade, though. and when she
met two friends OF her own age yesterday
afternoon she suggested that the three
walk to the bathing pavilion at West 13Sth
street. Frances was anxious TO show her
companions what an expert wader she was
and ventured beyond her depth.
The other children saw Frances sink and
began to scream. The screams attracted
hundreds of bathers on the beach, but in
stead Of any of them attempting to rescue
the child they, too. began to scream.
Frellohe, who was standing on the life
savers float. then leaped into the water
and after diving twice caught hold OF the
childs dress and brought her ashore. She
was unconscious, but after fifteen minutes
hard work the patroman and others sue
ceeGed I'm reviving her. Dry clothing was
then procured and the child was escorted TO
her home

weeks ago for running his automobile eX-

Dwyer was fined s..
The magistrate quoted various sections
OF the Call1n law, the highways law ana
the city ordinances dealing with the matter
and then said in part:
II is quite clear that the Legislature

The ordinance cannot become effective
until signs have been erected which notify
all drivers that they are required 10 lessen
their speed to the rate established by the
on the other hand. while the present city
ordinance limiting speed 10 eight miles an
hour is legal and binding. II Is impractcable
and works hardship In view OF our present
needs and conditions in sections OF the city
where there is no congestion. The Callan
law ana the city ordinances do not con-
fiict. They are both enforcible In the city
Of New York.
II the speed is greater than thirty miles
an hour as fixed by the state law. then
the violation must be punishable under the
Callan law In any event. reckless driv-
