RAN OVER Time.
Senate's Custom Has Been to Adjourn
on March 3.

: Washington, March 4-F'or the first
time in the history of the government
the expiring gasp of a short session of
congress was pr )longed today beyond
the Legislative day of March 81 and
into the legislative day of March l.
The precedent was set in the senate
and for time caused the lame ducks
to fear they might be ousted from their
seats by their successors before the
labor of the Sixty-first congress was
done.
It happened this way: Inadvertent-
ly, a motion was adopted yesterday
that the. senate session of today was to
begin at a. m. The custom had been
to take a recess until the time agreed
on for the meeting on the calendar
day of March 4, but early this morn
ing the senate adjourned the legisla-
tive day of March 8. When the senate
reconvened. therefore, it was for both
the legislative and calendar days of
March 4.
As soon as it became noised about
that a custom had been violated, SEN
ators began a hasty examination of
precedents. Several members said the
terms of senators not reelected to
the new congress expired when the
legislative day of March 3 was ad-
journed at 7:45 o'clock this morning.
After long search it was discovered
while the senate never had had a leg
islative day of March for the purpose
of winding up a session of congress,
there was no reason except custom for
that fact

NOT CONFIRMED.
Smith and Leidy Nominations
Go by the Board.
Appropriations to Enlarge To-
peka POstOffice Carries.

Washington, March 4.-The NOM
nations of A. W. Smith, pension
agent at Topeka, and Fremont Leidy,
collector of internal revenue for Kan
sas, who were both given recess ap-
pointments last summer, failed of
confirmation at the close of congress.
Both the pensions committee and Judi
ciary committee declined to act upon
these nominations because of Senator
Bristow's obdurate opposition.
1t is expected President Taft will
reappoint Smith and Leidy within a
few days
All of the eighteen pension agencies
were retained in the pensions appro-
priation bill. 1t is understood how
the number of agencies to five or six
and that the Topeka agency will be
retained.
over the protest of Senator Bristow,
the senate confirmed the appointment
of Mr.. Sweigle, to be postmaster at
Eureka, and the nomination of Mr.
Waring for the poStmaSterShip at
Ottawa. Congressman Elect jackson
claimed Eureka as his home town and
requested Bristow to forestall Sweigle' S
appointment.
Affidavits were submitted to the
committee which showed that Jack
son had sold all property interests in
attorney general, and that he had no
just claim on the town as his home
place. Sweigle was recommended by
Congressman Miller.
Because of the objection of Senator
Bristow, the nomination for reappoint-
ment of Irving Hill as postmaster at
Lawrence, passed without action. In
the meanwhile Hill will continue to
serve in the Office. 1t is understood
that Bristow informed the committee
that Hills retention in offict, was per-
sonally Objectionable to him.
The bill to construct a public high
way between Fort Leavenworth and
Fort Riley failed consideration in the
house.
Senator Curtis amendment to the
sundry civil bill appropriating 100000
for remodeling, and enlarging the fed
eral building at Topeka is understood
to have been agreed to in conference
during the last few moments of the
session.
Congressman Dan Anthony will leave
for home tonight, expecting of course
to return within a short time for the
extra session. Senators Curtis and
Bristow and Congressman Campbell
will remain in Washington.
The other members Of the delegation
will return home as soon as they can
shape their affairs to do so.

new STATE ASYLUM.
One Will BE Established West OF
Hutchinson.

The house today passed the senate
bill creating another state hospital for
the cure of the insane, to be located
somewhere west of the 98th principal
meridian, which is to say at q point
five or six miles west of a line drawn
through the state north and south that
would pass through Hutchinson. The
bill carries with it an appropriation OF
100000. This measure gives the west
ern part of the state a state institu-
ton of Importance something tha
western members have been contend
ing for for years.
to be decided by the governor and the
board of control. Norton, county seat
of Norton county, in the Sixth district,
is after the hospital and it's CONNER
cial club is represented here today.
Norton is one of the progressive towns
of the state and makes up in public
spirit and modern improvements what
it lacks in size. 1t is located on the
Rock Island and Burlington railroads.
Great Bend, in the Seventh district,
is also after the hospital and is repre-
sented here by hustling citizens. The
county seat of Barton county will
make a hard fight for the location of
the new institution
Many other goods towns in the west
will get busy at once and make q try
for the hospital. but it was believed
today that Norton and Great Bend are
the principal contenders at this stage
of the game

WHAT CONGRESS DID.

Out of the smoke of the closing bat
tie in congress emerge these results of
larger interest:
Positive resuIts-Provision of So
100000 for the fertilization of the
Panama canal.
Provision for two new battIeships.
Rehabilitation of the judiciary code
regarded as most important for the
amelioratiOn of the laws delays.
Creation of forest preserves in the
southern Appalachian and White
mountains.
Providing for the construction of
embassy and legation buildings
abroad.
Requiring the inspection of Iocomo-
tive boilers.
Negative results-FaiIure of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement and
consequent extra session.
Failure of the permanent tariff
board bill, which passed the senate
but was killed by filibuster in the
house.
Failure of the resolution to admit
to statehood of Arizona and New Mex
leo by a filibuster in the senate.
Failure of the proposal to increase
the rate of postage on the advertising
sections of the large magazines but a
commission provided for to investigate
the subject.
Failure of the resolution providing
for the direct election of United States
senators.
Failure of the general age pension
bill.
Failure to act on the BaIlinger-
Pinchot Investigation reports.
Failure to enact the ocean mail
subsidy, passed by the senate alone.
Failure of the effort to unseat VIII
liam IOrimer as senator from Illinois
On the ground of alleged bribery in
his election.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-03-04

most up to the last moment, they all
finally got through and received the
signature of the president The last
bill signed by the speaker of the house
was the postofice appropriation act.
The last bill that the preside
signed was the magazine postage
commission bill.
President Taft definitely announced
just after noon that he would certain
ly call an extra session The procla-
nation probably will be issued today
and the date will be April 4.
The close of the session was exciting
in both houses. A filibuster in the
house was successful in killing the tar
iff board bill. The Canadian reciproc-
ity agreement died in the senate. the
Mccall bill, embodying its provisions
having passed the house only Filibus-
ters in both houses lasted until within
a bare half hour of the adjournm ent;
much bitterness of feeling was exhib-
tied. but finally the blockade gave way
and the session on both sides ended
with the usual felicitations though the
certainty of an extra session hung
cloudlike over the final moments.
In the house Speaker Cannon laid
down his gavel, probably for the last
time, after plimentary remarks by
his successor-to- be, Champ Clark of
Missouri, who led the unanimous choice
of the house for Uncle Joe's," they
took a recess during which the speaker
delivered his valedictory.
On being conducted back to the chair.
on the conclusion of his speech, the
speaker at 1885 o'clock declared the
house adjourned. There ensued a scene
of rejoicing and song singing that was
in striking contrast with the more vio-
lent scenes of but a few minutes before.
senator Bailey Resigns.
Following the adjournment Senator
Bailey of Texas caused a sensation by
announcing he had telegraphed his res
ignation as a senator to the governor
of Texas.
The senator had endeavored in vain
to have the announcement of his res
ignation read in the senate.
Incompatibility of views between
himself and his Democrat colleagues
is the reason generally given for his
action. The immediate subject of dis
agreement was the Arizona statehood
proposition. The statehood situation
brought about the fiibuster in the SEN
ate. President Taft who came to the
senate as usual to sign the last bills
rushed through used all of his inf1u-
ence to END this filibuster. For a long
time it seemed that he would fail but
Senator owen, who was conducting it,
finally yielded.
An exciting scene occurred in front
of the speakers desk in the house to-
day, when Mr.. Johnson of Kentucky.
a Democrat, sought to have his name
recorded and the speaker delayed rec
ognition of him.
81 wish you were a younger man.
shouted Mr.. Johnson.
"rH take no advantage of my age. -
retorted the speaker belligerentlv.
Another Democratic member caught
hold of Mr.. Johnson's arm and turned
him away, while the house was cheer
ing the speaker.

MEDAL FOR BUD MARS.
And a Rousing Welcome for General
Fred Funston.

Manila, March 4.-Manila'a most
successful carnival closed today. 1t
has been profitable from a financial
standpoint and also of advantage in
dustria1ly.
The Spanish colony presented j. c..
bud" Mars, the American aviator,
with a medal and many gifts in recog-
milton of his exhibitions. which were
the first of the kind in the Orient.
Brigadier General Funston. who has
assumed command of the department
of Luzon in succession to Brigadier
General Potts, was given a rousing
welcome by army veterans and natives
of Kansas on his arrival here.

He has made no explanation as to the
reasons therefor.
He first presented the resignation to
Vice President Sherman, who refused
to accept it. Mr.. Bailey then wired his
RESIGNATION to Governor Colquilt, of
Texas. Mr. Bailey's term would not
have expired until March 8, 1913.
Senator Bailey declined TO give to
the press reasons for his action. In
conversation with fellow senators, how
ever. he based his son on the vote
cast by Democrat senators in favor of
the approval of the constitution of Ar
izona which he said was contrary to MS
ideas of government. Mr.. BaileyS col
leagues expressed hope that they may
be able to induce him to change his
mind.
During the last few days, Mr.. Bailey's s
leadership has been repudiated abso-
lutely by his colleagues. 1t was with
him that the Republicans made their
agreement for a vote on the Lorimer
case and making the tariff board bill
the unfinished business. A large fac
tion of the Democrat senators led by
Senator stone of Missouri declined to
be bound by the agreement.

HE GOT The GOODS.
Speaker Buckman's Messenger Employ
ed Unique Plan to Get Groceries.

A new way to get groceries and meats
cheaply was discovered by Henry Ben
nett, the negro chef formerly employed
by Fred Bullene but now a messenger to
Speaker Buckman in the house of repre-
sentativeS.
Bennett is under arrest for the discov-
cry and operation of his system, but
that has nothing to do with ehoriginality
of the plan.
This is new form of state graft not
yet presented to the legislature for con-
sideration. It consists merely in the
forgery of the name of Joe HickIin, Gus
todian of the state capitol.
Here is theinstrument:
Mr.. Leunberger,
Please let the bearer of this note, Mr.
Henry Bennett, have the necessary gro
cerieS and meat he needs and he will be
good for it. We pay every ten DAYS He
is our messenger for our speaker of the
house of representatives.

Tarilf Board Bill.

Washington, March 4-The tariff
board BILL passed by the senate short

Withdrawn and eliminated by the
house at HAS a. M, after one of the
most riotous filibusters seen in that
body for years. The withdrawal was
formally made by Republican Leade er
Payne.
The ilibuster began with the first
movement to put the tariff bill
through, under an agreement limiting
debate. The Democrats objected and
started q series of roll calls, which
defeated the measure. All appearance
of order was frequently lost. Speaker

are exempted from jury duty in the
state of Washington by a bill which

All last season the delightful music
of this production was whistled and
sung SO frequently that every music
lover in this city is now thoroughly
familiar with the catchy melodies OF
its many different songs. 1t is not
alone on account of the tuneful melo-
dies by Reginald DeKoven, that the
fame of this play depends, for Joseph
Herbert has displayed in the libretto
much originality. One of the most
striking features promised in THE
Beauty Spot" is its chorus.
Ehe story of the play concerns an
artist who paints a picture of mar
rled woman that almost loses him his
sweetheart, but the girl finally comes
around in sweet, willing fashion.
and all ends happily with delight
fully clever solution to the story OF
the much talked of painting.
Much has been said in praise of
the beauty and effectiveness of the
two gorgeously mounted acts while
the wardrobe is spoken of as extreme
ly beautiful and in rare good taste.
