Among the items in the appropria-
ton bills vetoed by the Governor is
the large provision made for the pay

York. who was convicted OF corrup-

approved by the Governor was the APP

F|[|bUSTER TIES
 HANDS OF HOUSE

Washington. February 17-With only Il legislative days remaining the House of Representatives was held at a stand still today by flibuster planned and conducted by Representative Mann of Illinois. It often has been asserted by Speaker Cannon and others that ma jority of the House could do what it pleased but today's events proved oth- erwise.
 It was private calendar day under the rules and the business in order was the consideration of the omnibus war claim which already had been passed by the Senate. The bill largely affects southern claimants and the democrats with the assistance of large number of republicans. endeavored to pass 1t. At times the majori,~ in favor of the bill was high as 140 but Representative Mann was opposed to the bill and by dilitory tactics he succeeded in pre- venting action on 1t. although the House was in session from 10 a. m. until 9:25 o'clock tonight.
 At that hour the advocates of the measure secured recess until II a. m. tomorrow under the assumption that the legislative sitting of today would then be resumed. It developed after this action. however, that they prob ably defeated their own purpose, for II o'clock now Is the regular hour for meeting and 1t is believed that Speaker Cannon will hold that tomorrow's sit ting is new legislative day. If he is successful in maintaining this ruling the omnibus claims bill is dead for this session of Congress.

REPORTS CLAIM 200
 ARABS WERE SLAIN

Paris, February 17.-Advices to the ministry Of colonies assure the govern ment that peace has been restored in tho Ouadai region of Senegal, French West Africa, following a fight near Dorothe November 13 last, during which 200 Arabs were slain.
 The French forces sustained no losses.
 The foment was due to the ravages of the native army under command of tho former Sultan, Doud Mourah, of Ouadai. In earlier battles the punitive expedition lost a number of officers and men.
 The minister of the colonies also re- ceived advices of another French victory in the Darkouti region of Equatorial Ar rica January 12. Captain Modat routed the hostile tribes of the Sultan Senouss. after a long and fierce battle in which the Sultan and three of his sons, several chiefs and 300 tribesmen were killed and 400 wounded. The French lost eight na- tive soldiers and IS wounded, none of them seriously.
