Adjournment Seen August l.

Washington, d. c., July 1.-Rep-
resentative Oscar Underwood, chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee and floor leader of the House
Democrats, said to-day that Congress
may adjourn by August /.
He declares his committee will
draft its bill revising the cotton sched-
ule of the tariff next week. He ex-
poets this measure, reducing the duty
on cotton goods about the same
amount wooden goods are reduced in
the wool bill recently passed by the
House, to be ready for the Senate by
July 90
II think the Senate will get a vote
on the reciprocity bill within two
weeks said Mr.. Underwood, "and
it ought not to take more than two
weeks to vote on the free list and
wool bills.
Action in The Senate on the cotton
schedule probably will not be insisted
upon, in view of the House leaders
if the Senate disposes of the other
measures.
The Senate, after a brief session,
adjourned until next Wednesday.
Many senators left the national capt.
tai for rest of three days. The
general expectation is that soon after
they come back to work they will en-
ter into an agreement to close
the debate on the reciprocity agree
ment in short order and take a vote.
The four or five insurgent Republi-
cans who are bitter in their opposi-
ton Republicans who are bitter in
their opposition to the agreement,
and who started out to talk against it
for several weeks, are showing UNI
mistakable signs of firing Of the task.
They have discovered that the
country, being for the agreement,
apparently is not greatly interested in
what they are saying. Some of them
have been embarrassed by Informal
ton from their own states that their
course is not approved by the people
Neither the stand-pat Republican
senators nor the Democrats are show
ing much inclination to debate the
agreement and but few of them have
listened to what the insurgents have
had to say.

If General Secretary Monroe had
not ridden out and sent a warning
back to the State Department the
precious document might not now be
in its special safe. The story was
first told in letter written by Gener-
al Stephen Pleasanton, assistant to the
chief clerk of the State Department
under Madison, to William H. Win
der Of Philadelphia in 1848.
Il proceeded to purchase coarse
linen,'' says General Pleasanton,

venient size, in which the gentlemen
of the office, assisted by me, placed
the books and other papers, after
which | obtained carts and had them
conveyed to grist mill on the Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac, two miles
above Georgetown.
considering the papers unsafe at
the mill, proceeded to a house in
Virginia and procured wagons, in
which the books and papers were de-
posted, and proceeded with them

was procured in which the papers
were safely placed, the doors locked

that he was subject to fits, and that a

before his body was discovered.

SUIT TO CANCEL
ANA CONTRACT

George Roenitz, by his attorney, G.
F. Peterson, will tomorrow present a
motion before Judge Robinson to
quash the summons and service there
of in the equity suit rought against
him by L. Apana to cancel a contract.
His ground is tnat the process has
not been issued as required by law.
Apana in his petition says an agree
ment was made on June 3, 1910, be-
tween Roenitz and himself, in Lursu-
ance of which he assigned and con
veyed to Roenitz all ava growing or
to be grown on two leasehOlds at Ku-
kuiopae, South Kona, Hawaii, contain
ing sixteen acres in all, for the sum of
$4,000. This sum was to be payable at
the rate of 5000 ton for all dried
merchantable ava delivered at the
wharf in honolulu, not exceeding forty
tons, within ten days after such de-
livery and without demand.
Plaintiff goes on to say that in No
yember about two tons of ava was so
delivered, but defendant failed to pay
for it until about six months later;
and on August Is last one ton and 947
pounds of ava, but the defendant re-
fused and still refuses to pay for it
within ten days according to the con,
tract.
Besides agreeing to pay for the ava
as stated, the plaintiff declares, the de-
fendant agreed to cultivate and har,
vest the ava at his own expense, but
he has failed and refused to carry out
