Order out of chaos was brought at
sos o'clock this morning when the SEN
ate, after listening to many hours of
filibustering, reached an agreement that
at $50 o'clock tomorrow morning a vote
would be taken on the bill to create a
permanent tariff board. 1t was like
snatching a brand from the burning
when friends of the measure accomplish
ed that result. What had been supposed
to be the death knell for this measure
had been sounded several hours before.
The Senate at 4 o'clock adjourned until
10 o'clock today.
Unfamiliarity with the rules Of the Sen
ate on the part of the men who were en-
cheering the obstructive tactics was re-
sponsible for the crumbling Of the oppo-
stion. Senator Stone, confident of his
ability to hold the floor for the night. had
permitted the coterie of long distance
takers who were to spell him today to
go to their homes. Learning that fact,
Senator Beveridge invoked rule nine
teen" to take Senator Stone from the
floor. Under this rule no senator 'shal
speak more than twice upon any one sub
ject in debate on the same day without
leave of the Senate"

as much possible the passage of appro-

AS the four supply bills considered were
short his tactics did not prevent their
acceptance by the Senate-thanks to
hasty reading and much skipping by the
reading clerk, prompt action on the part
of the Vice President and the attracting
of Senator Ovens attention away from
the reading by other senators.
Senator Owen insisted on separate votes
on each amendment, and on one amend
ment which proposed the substitution of
comma for a semicoon, Senator Owen
demanded a roll call. 1t was refused for
lack of seconds, and then Senator Owen
insisted that the several amendments
should be explained before they were

The republicans showed a willingness
to drop any amendments that would stir
up controversy. Senator Scott proposed

again at the night session. During ms

the rules Of the Senate, had the effect
Of taking him from the floor pendlns
the disposition of that motion. The mo-
ton was defeated, and Immediately upon
senator Beveridge made the point of or
der that Mr.. Stone already had spoken
twice.
Vice President Sherman was inclined
not to provoke controversy, and at
once asked Mr.. Stone If he had spoken
twice. Mr.. Stone would neither deny nor
affirm the statement made by Mr.. Bev-
eridge, but declared that he could not
remember. Thereupon the Vice President
called upon the official stenographers,
and it was found that their notes verined
MIR. Beveridges point. Mr.. Sherman Sus-
tanned the point of order, which deprived
Mr. Stone of the floor.

was compelled to take his seat. Senator
