PRESS FOR A VOTE
Friends of Lorimer Insist Upon
Senate Action.
PROTEST AGAINST DELAY
Senator Bailey Threatens to Meet
Filibuster With Filibuster.
NEAR TO DECISION YESTERDAY
Roll Call Ordered and Partially
Completed Before Agreement
Could Be Reached.
PROTEST AGAINST DELAY
NEAR TO DECISION YESTERDAY

So anxious are the senator's supporting
Senator Lorimer for a vote to be taken
on his case in the Senate that late yes
terday Senator Bailey threatened to meet
any filibuster that might be made against
such a vote with another filibuster Of his
own against appropriation bills. He want
ed an agreement reached upon a date
for a vote, saying that unless the Sen
ate should SO agree he was gong to in
sist upon a vote, even II every appro-
priation bill should fail.
The Texas senator's statement was
cussion growing out of Senator Bur
rows effort to prevail upon the Senate
to proceed with the consideration Of the
Lorimer matter. 1t was after $3.50 O'Clock
when Senator McCumber concluded his
address on reciprocity, and an hour and
a half remained before eulogies on the
late Representatives Lowering and Tir-
rell could be proceeded with.
Very Near to Decision.
The Lorimer resolution was laid before
the Senate, but no one was prepared to
speak on it, Senators Stone, Crawford
and Owen. all of whom desire to be
heard, pleaded for a postponement. Mr..
Burrows insisted that there must be
either a vote or speech.
No one responding. the Vice Presi-
deaf proceeded to direct a vote.
The ayes had been sounded and the
noes called for when there were signs Of
much disturbance on the part Of numer-
Gus senators.
Mr.. Crawford shouted Il object" When
reminded that an objection could not pre-
vent a vote being announced. he declared
he was ready to proceed with speech.
however, he didn't want to be whipped
into service.
Senator Stone moved to adjourn, but
the motion was voted down.
Yielding to the pleadings Of the unpre-
pared speakers, Mr.. Burrows moved to lay
the resolution aside.
Bailey Enters Protest.
Mr. Bailey was not pleased with the
SUGGESTION Declaring that there could
not be before the Senate any matter of
the seat of a senator. he said Congress
should settle the matter before final ad-
iournment. He said there was an evident
purpose 10 HllUuSlcI CSdiISI OAcs llOu6ll
he did not believe there was any purpose
to prevent vote.
But" he added unless we can have
some agreement to vote am going to in
sist on a vote If every appropriation bill
fails. This matter is OF greater impOr-
tance than the appropriations
Proceeding, he said. earnestly:
II am not so sure that an extraordinary
session of Congress would be public
calamity"
Willing to Come Back.
Evidently referring to the November
elections and to the prospect OF tariff
legislation, he declared that the people
Of the country had ordered Congress to
do certain things" and IL necessary to
do those things he would not object to
coming back to Washington.
After further exchange of remarks
Mr.. Burrows decided rot to press Nj.
Crawford to proceed. and the question
went over.

Sessions Last Week Begins
With Much Still to Be Done

tomorrow the Sixty-frst Congress en-
ters upon its closing week. the session to
end by constitutional limitation at noon
next Saturday, March 4. Pressure Of the
congested public business will necessitate
both House and Senate holding night ses-
sions. and In the last two days of the
week the 'wo houses may remain at
work continuously.
The Senate has Yet TO act on several i'm
portant appropriation bills. and confer
ence reports thereon are certain TO provoke
discussion and possible wrangling be-
tween the houses. The Lormer case is
TO be disposed OF, the Sulloway pension
DILL is to be pushed for action and the
Canadian reciprocity bill is to be voted
UP or voted down, after debate.
The ve,eran legislators of the Senate
are not dismayed over the outlook for
the appropriation bills. They will have to
be passed and, of course, they will be
passed. So that is all there is to it, The
Lorimer case also will be acted on.
AS for the Canadian reciprocity bill, il
is at this time hanging in the balance.
Five votes one way or another may de-
termine its fate, and likewise cause an
extra session or not. That Is to say, the
change of five votes may make it possi-
BILE to prevent an extra session by either
passing the bill or voting II down on a
test vote.
1t is well known, of course. that Presi-
dent Taft will not summon the next
Congress If the bill is given a fair vote,
even though II is beaten. He will only
exert that privilege of the executive IL

the great banquet hall OF diners had the
assurance of the Chief Executive that the
federal government has an honest in
tention of doing for its own home what
the citizens wish for It,
1t is a remarkable fact that this COM
plimentary dinner to a retiring chairman
of the subcommittee Of the House apprO-
priations committee, who has labored for
years with intimate and intricate District
affairs, should turn out to be great out
burst of good augury for the capital. Per-
haps it is tremendous compliment to
Representative Gardner that IT did so, for
all the complimentary views of Washing
ton TO come were based mainly upon tho
heavy work that Representative Gardner
did or was connected with in the past.
There were regrets, but they were cheer
full, not fearful. They were the regrets OF
men who have seen good work, but who
see in that work the foundations for q
splendid future.
Commission Government Good.
Much was said about the form OF Dis

was said for the commission form. No

speaker held up the government of

hammer home the sentiment that this

that affairs in the republic were assuming

Aldrich Asks to Be Paired.

Senator Aldrich has sent a telegram
from Jekyl Island, Ga. where he has
been for several weeks in search of
health. TO one of the Senate leaders ask
ing that a pair be arranged for him in
favor of the Mccall bill if it comes to a
vote this session. The fact that such
telegram was received was whispered
about the Senate and created some sur
prise. as many standpat senators had
believed that Mr.. Aldrich, like Senator
Hale of Maine, would oppose the re-
1t is not now believed by any Of Sena-
tor Aldrich'S immediate friends III the
Senate. nor at the White House, that he
will come TO Washington. the request
for pair seeming to show his intention
to remain away.
AS matter of fact no one believes
that the coming of Senator Aldrich would
alter the situation in respect to the Nc
Call bill. The arrival of Mr.. tIdrich
and any attempt by him to force the
consideration of the bill upon the Senate
would be like shaking a red flag in the
face of bull. 1t would serve, accord
ing TO the consensus of opinion in the
Senate. only to intensity the fight
against the measure.

An Interesting Rumor.

One interesting rumor yesterday was
that the democrats, i'll the event of an
extra session, Will organize the House and
then take long recess until the new
ways and means committee is ready with
a schedule, to which the reciprocity bill
Will be attached. That reposs added to
the dismay of the men in Congress who
are i'll touch with business affairs, as
they foresaw long period of uncer-
tainty, during which business would be at
a standstill.
Senator Bailey's statement in the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon that commenc-
ing Monday he would hold the Lorimer
case before the Senate for action, even
to the sidetracking If appropriation bills,
uld not add to the comfort of senators.
Senator Bailey is not given to making
bluffs, and if he starts on such a pro-
gram he will see it through.
The uncertain quantity in the situa-
ton is the attitude of the insurgent re-
publican senator's toward the Canadian
reciprocity bill. There are enough of
them, by concerted action. to prevent the
bill passing. but concerted action is not
fully assured. Senator Beveridge, for
instance, is favorable to the bill.
