BROKEN At LAST
War Claims Bill Was Passed
Yesterday

Washington, Feb 20.-The war
claims bill passed the house today a.
12:46 p. M, after having been under
consideration since last Friday, be,

Mr. Mann, of Illinois, who command
ed the filibuster under which the
French claims were stricken out, was
in favor of the bill, but several advo-

en- up the fight against it.
AS soon as the house convened the
point of no quorum was made and i
roll call ordered The clerk reported
a quorum. The reading of the omni-
bus bill for amendment was begun.
Representative Roberts, of Massa-
chusetts, one of the new filibusterers,
offered as an amendment the entire
list of French claims and demanded
the reading of the seventy printed
pages. Mr. Mann made a point of or
der that the amendment was not
germaine.
While this point was pending, Rep
resentatiye Dalzell, of Pennsylvania
brought in from the committee on
rules a rule providing for the suspen-
sion of rules on all bills from now un-
til the end of the session.
Whenever suspension is invoked t
limits discussion to forty minutes on
each measure Mr.. Dalzell said the
state of the public business required
the adoption of the rule.

ter and eggs to pay all of his family
expenses for the year
In the poultry line Mrs. Williams
keeps ninety Industrious hens, and
has sold recently one hundred dozen

In his smokehouse there are stored
away several tierces of homemade

Mr.. Williams has his mail daily, de-
livered at his door, and this keeps
