GUESS ON ADJOURNMENT
Fear Felt That Report on Cot.
ton Tariff Revision May
Cause Delay.

Despite differing opinions as to what
effect the Senates instructions to the
finance committee to report the cotton
tariff revision bill will have on the early
adjournment of Congress. all the SEN
afors. and representatives as we'll. are
anxious to get away, and 1t is apparent
that i. will be almost impossible to hold
a quorum after the President vetoes The
wool tariff bill, as he is expected to do.
Senator Smoot of Utah said the Senate S
action today will have no influence what
ever on adjournment: that adjournment
will take place a week from today, and
that it will depend on the Presidents veto
of the wool bill rather than on any deci-
sion that may be reached with reference
to the cotton bill.
Senator Cummins of Iowa, who wants
TO offer the steel, rubber and sugar
schedules as amendments to the cotton
bill. said there will be delay Of a week
or more.

and are said to be willing to comply
with any demands made by the Treas

The question OF control or ownership
of national banks by security compa-

all banks of the country that there
was no question today but that Mr..
MacNeagh will give the matter the
most careful consideration. The entire
matter may be taken UP by the cabinet
at a later meeting. although 1t was
said not to have come up today.

TETANUS CASE PUZZLES.
Boy III in Hospital Has No Wound
on Body.

The condition of eleven-year-old Willie
Hart. who is in the Children's Hospital
suffering from a severe case Of tetanus,
was said today to be slightly improved.
Anti-tetanc serum is being administered
to the boy in large doses. and the ply ST.
clans in charge have not abandoned hope
for his recovery.
The patient is the son Of George Hart,
an employe of the Johnson Hotel. How
he contracted the disease Is not known.
as there is not the slightest trace of
wound on his body. He was taken to
the hospital Saturday, and the fact that
he is still alive, although his muscles are
twisted like knots and his body is curved
like q bow. lead the physicians to be-
lieve that he may recover.
Health department officials are interest
ed in the case as treatment by means
of the anti-tetanic serum is practically
new and has been used in the District
only few times.
