Beveridge Moves to Adjourn.

While that was being done there was
much discussion Of adjOurning and Of
reaching an agreement to vote. The DEM
ocrats expressed the belief that If they
could get a nights rest they thought
they could reach an agreement to vote.
and in view Of that statement Senator
Beveridge moved to adjourn.
Several of the insurgents refused to
follow that lead, and the regula- showed
Their determination to insist upon a vote
or a night session. The dem ocrats rushed
in their cohorts from the clOakrooms and
the motion to adjourn was passed. %

Coming to College Park.

He is coming east In a few weeks, when
he will take charge Of the National Avia-
ton School at College Park, Md, and
while he is here he wants to make ar
engagements for a flight from New York
to Chicago by way Of the Hudson. the
Erie canal and the great lakes. The OBJ
ject of the flight will be to arouse interest
in watercourses as highways for aerial
travel, and in this Mr.. Curtiss has the
earnest support of the Waterways Asso-
citation.
The advantage of the watercourse as
an aerial highway is largely in the fact
that 1t is the most efficient mark for an
aviator to follow. The birdman can dis
tinguish river at the height Of 500 or
LOCO feet. long after there has ceased to
be any perceptible difference between a
forest and a turnip field. The water
course always affords a convenient land
ing place if the machine is equipped with
hydroplanes.
Mr.. Curtiss says that the trip from
New York to Chicago by the water high
way is perfectly practicable.

Many Satisfactory Watercourses.

There are any number of watercourses
in this country that would furnish salts
factory intercity routes for aeroplanes
with little clearing of the banks, and
the advocates of waterway Improvement
feel that if interest is turned on the
streams to the point of even partially
clearing them there will be more interest
both in making them navigabIe and in
improving them in the line Of conserva
ton.
1t is intended that the flight over water
from New York TO Chicago shall be made
under the auspices of the National Water
ways Congress.
One argument that has been advanced
abroad for making the waterways the line
OF aerial travel is the material damage
and legal complication that has resulted
from the recent invasion of the air. There
have been formulated no adequate laws
governing aerial travel, and in both France
and Great Britain there have been dam
ages claimed from aviators for frightening
sheep and cattle and beating down stand
ing crops with the draft of their propel-
lers. The governments of both France
and Great Britain are looking to their re-
spective aero clubs to help in developing
law for the air.

iournment for the night. But the in
surgents were insistent upon action be-
fore adjournment and declined to yield.
The democrats pleaded for adjournment,
saying they thought they would agree to
some time for voting on the measure
after a good nights rest. Still the in
surgents refused to yield and Senator
Simmons moved to adjourn. 1t soon be-
came evident that the insurgents had the
support of the republican regulars in in
sisting against adjournment and the mo-
ton was voted down, 3 to A. The demo-
Gratis refrained from voting. in the hope
the calling of the roll would not disclose
quorum.
The democrats shouted across the aisle
that they would not be forced into an
agreement to a vote or to immediate
action on the bill by threat of night
session and Senator Overman took the
floor to prevent an immediate vote. While
he talked, conferences were held In the
center aisle between Senators Stone and
Simmons for the democrats and Senator'S
Beveridge. Cummins. Smoot and others
for the republicans.
Unusual Scene in Senate.
Those who witnessed the scene-after
o'clock this morning-saw the lapse of
the usual senatorial dignity. Senator
Crane stopped in the middle aisle to light
cigar and Senator Lodge stood near
him, putting great clouds Of smoke into
the heavy air of the chamber. Senator
Penrose found d seat ON top of a desk
in the front row on the center aisle.
Senator Overman talked ten minutes
and suggested the absence Of a quorum.
Again the democrats refrained from
answering to their names. but fifty sena-
tors were declared present
Again Senator Overman took the floor.
and. after another speech for ten min
utes. the absence of quorum was sug-
gested. The roll call showed two less
than a quorum, and Senator Smoot asked
that the sergeant-at-arms be sent to
bring in the absentees.

Hale Joins Stone in Inquiry.

The Maine senator remarked that he
was In a condition Of surprise, because
he supposed the senator from Massachu-
sets was in charge of the measure.

OF leserdemain he was ousted from the
control and management of it," he added.
Senator Owen interrupted.

coiloquy between the senator from Ms
Sourl and the senator from Maine Is the
result OF conspiracy" Everybody in
the chamber laughed and Senator Hale

minds working in the same direction" he

CMr. Beveridge).
1t was noted that those who were
Beveridge's action in insisting on the
consideration Of the tariff board measure
were all opponents Of it.
Mr.. Beveridge remarked, in reply. that
he had introduced a similar measure four
years ago and that he had called it up
after conference with the Massachusetts
senator.
II think the question is not who has
brought up the measure but whether the
measure is wise
1T makes no difference if the Indiana
senator introduced a similar bill 1O4
years ago." retorted Senator Money, "he
has no authority to take charge Of it
now"
Regulars and Insurgents Unite.
Senator Money then moved that the
bill be recommitted to the committee on
finance. Senator Penrose opposed such
action, and on a roll call the motion was
defeated. % to 81. The republican regu-
lars and insurgents. assisted by Senator
Owen united to defeat the motion. 1t

practically all Of the regulars were to
