O'Clock, at the conclusion Of which the Senate

thirty minutes that remained for the cunsidera-

bate on The pension bill Vas continued. SenA-

WOULD PRESERVE FALLS.
Passage of Burton Bill Is Strongly
Urged in Congress.

A vigorous campaign is being con-
Quoted in Washington for action by Con-
gress before it adjourns which will make
sure the continued preservation Of
Niagara Falls. The waterways treaty
with Canada, proclaimed May II, 1870
establishes certain ultimate limitations
upon power production at Niagara Falls
The limits placed are in excess of those
permitted under the Burton act of 1906,
which was extended in 1893, and which
expires by limitation June % next
That the present diversion of water
from Niagara Falls is injurious to their
beauty is officially proved by the Chief
of Engineers of the army in a report
made September y, 1909.
At the request of the American Civic
Association, Senator Burton, of Ohio, has
introduced d joint resolution re-enacting,
during the life Of the Canadian treaty,
what is known as the Burton bill for the
preservation of the Falls
President Taft has written to J. Horace
Mcfarland, president of the American
Civic Association, indorsing the bill.

LEGISLATIVE LOG-JAM
TO KILL RECIPROCITY
Opponents of Taft Bill in Senate Plan Delay Special
Session of Congress Will Result

the burden of deciding upon this matter,
and putting 1t squareiy up 20 the Senate
itself. ..s
In the eleven and one-half legislative
days remaining of this session, the Sem
ate will be obliged 10 pass ten appropria-
tion bills, carrying hundreds of millions
of dollars. The Senate is behind in the
consideration of these money measures.
There are at least four measures of a
general character that are likely to be
pushed ahead of reciprocity. The ma
jority of the Senate could, of course. take
up reciprocity ahead of these other meas
ures, but in doing so the supporters OF
the other propositions would be antag-
onized, and would u1doubt edly lend their
aid to the opposition to the Mccall bill.
See Object in FiIibuster.
The measures which probably will be
urged ahead of reciprocity in addition TO
the appropriation Bills are the Porto
Rican bill. the direct election of Senators
resolution, the Sulloway pension bill. and
the Lorimer case. In addition to these
there are important propositions which
will come up in connection with the ap-
preparation bills, notably the fortifcation
of the Panama Canal, and the proposed
legislation increasing the rate on second
class mail matter.
1t is apparent now that both the direct
election proposition and the Lorimer case
are being delayed for the purpose of using
them as a foil against the reciprocity
legislation.
Many friends Of the reciprocity agree
ment are inclined to believe that the
long drawn out flibuster in. the House
over the omnibus war claims bill is part
of the plan to bury4the reciprocity agree
ment in the. jam of legislation that will
have to be rushed through in the closing
days.
Republican leaders in the House of Rep
resentatives are becoming seriously con-
cerned now over the situation in that
body, regardless of the reciprocity agree
ment. Some of the leaders believe that
it will be practically impossible for the
House now to dispose of the business
under consideration before Congress ad-
journs by constitutional limitation. The
flibuster that has been going on for the
last two days has knocked the plans of
some Of the leaders sky high, and they
are beginning to fear that a special ses-
sion will be forced upon them by the
failure of one of the appropriation bills

Dc Evidence now points clearly to the
feet that plans have been made to kin
President Tafts reciprocity bill in the
Senate through a legislative log-jan..
1t is the intention of opponents of the
reciprocity plan to delay progress on
the appropriation bills and on other
important measures, and then raise the
cry of lack of time TO consider the Nc
Cal reciprocity bill. If this plan Of
obstruction is carried through success
fully, there will be a special session of
Congress. President Taft has made up
his mind definitely upon this point. 1t
is understood that he will call the law
makers back 10 Washington about
March Is, in the event of a failure to
vote upon the reciprocity plan.
Friends of the reciprocity agreement in
the Senate were less hopeful yesterday
tEan they have been at any other time
since the agreement was submitted to
Congress- They acknowledge that fear
OF a special session afforded the only
chance that the bill now has to come to
a vote in the Senate. This chance seems
now, however, to be very slim; as sew
eral of the opponents of the measure are
very stubborn in their determination to
block it and to prevent an expression
of opinion by the Senate
Finance Committee Meets.
The Finance Committee Of the Senate
met yesterday morning and considered
the reciprocity bill. Not more than two
or three members of this committee are
at heart in favor of the bill, and it is
doubtful now if a favorable report on the
measure could be obtained from that
committee, although several of ~ MEM
bers are inclined 10 swallow their own
feelings and to assist the President in
this matter
The committee decided to hold another
meeting next Wednesday, and to report
the bill out to the Senate on Thursday,
provided Senator Hale, who was not able
to attend yesterdays meeting, does not
object 1t is said that Senator Hale
will not attempt TO obstruCt the bill in
the committee, and it Will, therefore, be
laid before the Senate next Thursday.
The likelihood now is that the bill will
be reported TO the Senate by the com
mittee without comment. L is the inten-
ton of the committee to relieve itself of
