ADJOURNMENT NOW
EXPECTED At END
OF PRESENT WEEK
Statehood Question May
Lead to Filibuster in
Is Senate.
TAFT TO SEND IN
VETO IN FEW DAYS,
Tariff Situation Still Tangled, and
May Result in
49, Delay.

Adjournment CT the extra session of
Congress is now generally expected at
the close of this week Or in ten days
at the latest. At the same time there
are various complicated situations
which may result in an indefinite pro-
longing of the session.
By no means the least troublesome
question is Statehood. The President
will this week send in his veto of the
Statehood bill. 1t will be based on op-
position to the recall of the judiciary
in the Arizona constitution. About two
thirds of each house feel the President
has no right to refuse admission of
Arizona on any such ground. Hence,
they are expected to try to pass the
bill over the veto.
In the House there will be no delay
in getting Il vote on this matter, but
Administration Senators are threatening
to filibuster to prevent vote.
Knowing that such tilibuster is
threatened, some of the Democrats and
Insurgents are saying they are prepared
TO stay in Washington until snow flies.
nnless either the Statehood bill 5
passed over the veto, or provision is
made for admission of Arizona, as well
as New Mexico, in some fashion.
While the Statehood situation is
troublesome, the tariff situation is far
from untangled. The conference report
en- the wool bill has been completely
worked out and is before the House.
That body will agree to it Monday,
and the Senate will doubtless agree to
It Tuesday.
disagreement has been reached on
the free list bill and will be reported
TO House and Senate Monday and in
structions will be asked by the con-
ferees from their respective houses.
The House opposes the Kern amend
ment and the Senate opposes free lem
ons.
The cotton bill is the unfinished busi-
ness in the Senate, and II will be dis
cussed this week, along with proposed
amendments to It for the revision of
the steel schedule. the sugar schedule,
and others. 1t looks now as If a vote
would be forced on the cotton bill be-
fore adjournment, and as If it would
pass.

The mysterious receipt of large clus-
ters of roses which have been sent to
her regularly for the last three months
by an unknown admirer has tegun to
wear on the nerves of Miss Jennie
Beach, a pretty seventeen-year-old en-
ploye of a Washington lunch room, and
the battling secrecy maintained against
all efforts at discovery of the donor has
brought her to the verge of desperation.
For twelve weeks, with unfailing reg
ularity, large punches of American
Beauty roses, wrapped in ordinary tis-
sue paper, have come to her by mes
senger, with nothing that would either
disclose the identity of the donor
or even the florist from whom the
flowers were purchased.
Miss Beach, who was cashier for sew
eral months, resigned that position and
became a waitress hoping to escape the
silent messages sent to her thrice a
week. She failed in this. however, and
now she will leave Washington this aft
ernoon for a time, hoping to escape the
floral attentions of her unknown ad-
mirer.
nothing about the presents could
cause the young woman any alarm, but
she has come to look on them as an
i'll omen. She has endeavored vainly
to learn the identity of the secret donor,
and her associates and employers also
have taken up the matter, and have
made secret inquiries without success.
Constancy Worries Her.
Il don't know why l have become
alarmed" Miss Beach said this morning
There is nothing about the package of
flowers 1 receive three times a week
to indicate that l will be harmed, but
the mere fact that the donor has de-
clined to let me know his identity or his
object in spending so much money on
me has caused me to worry.
The first two or three weeks after
the roses began to appear l considered
the matter a Joke, and the other girls IT
the rests urant jOked me about the mat
ter The colored messenger who brings
the flowers was asked from whom they
came. He was unable to give any def
mite information. A middle-aged man,
wearing a certain kind Of clothes, and
with such and such an expression gave
me a dollar 10 bring them he told me.
The description of my unknown ad-
mirer would apply to any one Of a score
of regular customers of this place.

Heine's Mission.

What Heine really desired and
fought for was the liberation of man
In body and spirit He strove to
break up the crust of ontworn dog

the spirit Of the German people with
an oppression hardly realizable by u.s.
He was most truly one of the makers
of Germany. That that country pro-
duced him is ole of it's chief glories,
one of it's many claims on the sym
pathy and admiration of the modern

derstood is pre-eminently in Heinos
