RECORD OF
CONGRESS
Three Bills the Result Of the
Five Months SeS-
Si0n
DEMOCRATS THINK THEY
HAVE CAMPAIGN CRIES
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-After five
months and four days of unceasing
grind. the Congress of the United
States today was able to show but TWO
big legislative measures made in,o
law. The Canadian reciprocity agree
ment and the bill for publicity Of cam
paign contributions before elections.
The reapportionment bill, fixing the
membership Of the next House of Rep
resentatives at 433 was another fin
ished product turned out during the
five months.
But the Democratic leaders were en-
thusiastic over the present campaign
material that they have fashioned
from the happenings at the extra ses-
sion. For "A magnificent scheme ~
tariff revision, which the Democrats
declared would "cut down the tariff
tax on the American people," has
crumbled 10 dust, under the power of
the Presidents veto.
Reciprocity with Canada was the
only reason given by the President for
convening the extra session on March
Is.
Two Democratic tariff bills, one re-
vising the ubiquitous wool schedule"
and another placing meat and bread On
the free list, have been lost In tho
shuttle A third, revising the cotton
tariffs will also die aborning. Two o.
them-the wool bill and the free list
bill. the President has vetoed. The
Democrats made Intellectual attempts
20 pass them over the veto. The other
is in a haze OF technical defeat be-
tween the Senate and the House.

CUT THROAT
But WON'T Die
SantOne Sends GOOD Bye
Message But Dull Razor Gives
Him Another Chance
FRIEND WRESTS
WEAPON FROM HAND

Financial troubles are said to have
prompted Antonia Santones theatri-
cal attempt at suicide today. Santone,
who is a fruit dealer, and lives at No.
610 Tatnall street, used a razor in mis-
attempt to end his life, and would
probably have succeeded had it not
been for the quick work Of Michael
Donofrio, fruit merchant, at the
northeast corner of Eighth and Mar
ket streets.
Santone is acquainted with Dono-
frio, and asked the latter if he couldn't
use the basement of Donofrio's stand.
Given permission TO do so, the man
had no sooner passed down the stairs
leading to the cellar, than he drew
a razor from his pocket, and shouting
goodbye" 10 Donofria, pulled the
keen edge of the blade across his
throat Donofrio jumped TO the side
of the bleeding man, and the two men
grappled for possession of the razor.
Donofrio succeeded in wrestling the
weapon from Santone. The latter was
taken to the Delaware Hospital in the
Phoenix ambulance. It was found
that the cut was not deep, and after
one stitch was taken in the wound
he was allowed to 90 home.
Santone is said TO have had financial
troubles. He has been engaged in the
fruit business for number of years.
He is married and has several chill
dren.
