EXTRASBSSION TALK
NOT so PREVALENT
Situation in the Senate Said
to Be Less Strained.

Steady work in the Senate yesterday.
accompanied by results in the shape OF
a vote on the ship subsidy legislation,
served TO dispel somewhat the belief that
an extra session would be necessary if
certain matters of legislation were to be
finished up before Congress sdispersed.
There were still present. however. the
clements which on Wednesday started the
extra session talk 1t appears that at
least two filibustering factions are to
try conclusions in the closing weeks OF
the session in any event. The Senators
who have combined with determination
to jeopardize the appropriation bills If
such matters as the Lorimer resolution.
the resolution providing for direct Sena-
torial vote. the tariff board bill. and the
general service pension bill. were on
deck yesterday with the assertion that
they meant business.
On the other hand those who would
give the appropriation bills the right of
way in the Senate were just as fnsistent.
The fact that the ship subsidy bill reached
a vote and was disposed of would seem
to indicate that they may be induced to
weaken at intervals
1t is expected that there will be a show
ing of strength to-day on the part of
those who propose votes on the specias
measures when Senator Borah makes an
effort to have the resolution relating to
the election Of Senators made the unf1n-
ished business. a proposal Of this sort
clashed late yesterday with movement
of Senator Nelson to have the coal land
leasing bill. one of the Taft measures,
made the unfinished business of the Sem
ate. Senator Borah entered the arena at
nd Sh4 haiti VI. rYvlf n n
when Senator Hale precipitated adjourn
ment
1t is understood that the main efforts
Of the insurgents at present will be ex
pended in keeping the Senate at work.
1t is proposed that Senators shall at least
speak on pending measures If they do
not care to see them reach a vote.

PINCHOT PRAISES TAFT.
Policy Announced on
Wednesday PIeases Him.

w AhnOunCeO on
Wednesday PIeases Him.
Clifford Pinchot last night issued a
statement praising the water-power policy
announced by President Taft Wednesday.
Every friend of conservation and
every enemy of monopoly will receive
with real satisfaction the announcement
made from the White House Wednesday
that the administration has adopted a
water power policy in full accord with the
principles for which the National Conser-
walton Association stands says the de-
posed Forester. The policy so declared
has been enforced by the United States
Forest Service $50 far as the existing law
would permiD for a number of years past.
and has bad the active support OF this
administration from the time It was
formed.
The National Conservation Association
heartily indorses the position now taken
by the President along the lines laid
down by Garfield and Roosevelt, and
desires TO call special attention to the
work of Henry S. Graves, the present
Forester. in bringing about this pro-
foundly welcome result

Investigated Immediately.
Representative Stanley. Of kentucky
securing time during general debate on
the agricultural appropriation bill. yes
terday made an assault on the steel
trust. demanding action on his resolu-
ton proposing an investigation Of that
alleged monopoly.
II can see no good reason for delay
in reporting this resolution said Mr..
Stanley. 1T will not take long to pre-
sent the testimony which I already
have in concise and tabulated form. The
friends Of the steel trust insist that
this investigation be delayed until after
the tobacco and Standard Oil cases have
been decided. 1t would be just as rea-
sonable, If some man were charged With
murder or theft or embezzlement, to re.
fuse to indict him because there was a
like case pending in the Supreme Court" "
