these teams are Congested and the load
ed wagons are forcing the slipping
horses down the hill.
Nine teams became cOngested on the

were unequipped with. brakes, and one
had a brake which wonld not work Wit

teams whose driver was placed under
arrest by Policeman w. II. Rock fell

tum OF the heavy load upon the hill, and

keep the horses from strangling.
Mrs. r. Woodland Gates. 2T35 Ontario
Road Northwest. who will be one OF the

Its way to fnal passage. The ilihuster
WAS airned at a water suppry sire
amendment Al times throughout the
debate the exchanges were acrimonious
in the extreme. The rider ON the bill
empowered the SECRETARY OF War to
grant and lease Ito the successful bid
der the right to surplus water on tho
Schofeld barracks on the Island of
oahu. Hawaii" Mr.. Mann declared IT
was an attempt to give over valuable
government property TO a monopoly

so that a roll call could not be had on
the question and that its supporters
could dodge responsibility"
A series of sharp exchanges between
Mr.. Mann and Representative Mondell
of Wyoming on the republican side and
Representatives Fitzgerald, Sherry OF
Kentucky and Page of North Carolina,
democrats, resulted finally In Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald announcing his In
tention to shut off all debate.
THE gentleman from New York may
knock me down and drag me out"
shouted Mr. Mann, but we won't do
1t with my Yielding consent"
Raising the point of no quorum. the
minority leader followed that roll call
with series OF parliamentary tactics.
few at time the democrats dwin-
died away to prepare for the caucus
at o'clock. Watching his opportu-
nifty, Mr.. Mann again raised the point
of no quorum Just as the amended bill
was about to be put to a vote. This
