SECOND session
PRESIDENT VIM. TAFT WROTE
"FINIS" 4.3O MONDAY
AFTERNOON.
Senator LaFollette Wins Point De.
handing Penrose Campaign Fund
ResoIuton-"State Claims" Are
Shelved for Present-Appointme
Left Unconfirmed.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Sobered by
the embarrassments of Saturdays all
night session of filibusters and dis
agreements, congress adjusted its de-
lenses Monday, invited President Taft
to the capitol once more, and at 4:30
p. m. wrote fins" after the proceed
ings of the second session of the Sixty
second congress.
The end was marked with a return
of harmony. Senator LaFollete, de-
handing an investigation of the Pen
rose campaign fund resolution, found
all opposition smoothed away and the
resolution was adopted almost without
discussion.
Senators Chamberlain, MARITIME,
Swanson and Culberson, after fighting
bitterly for the state claims" in the
general deficiency bill, permitted the
senate to yield to the house demands
and strike out these claims. For this
concession, however, they received
promises of support next winter from
other senators, when the claims again
will be pressed.
With these old claims, amounting to
100000, went the extra months
pay for congressional employees, which
the senate demanded and the house re
fused to give. In the last half hour
of the session, while President Taft
waited in his special room to sign the
measures of the dying congress, an
attempt was made to rush through q
special resolution giving the employees
the extra month";" but the house
again blocked it.
The president signed the general de
| ficiency bill at 4:10, making certain
the payment of $1,S0O,O0O deficiency il
army pay, 9150,000 for the Gettysburg
memorial celebration next year, $3.50,
| 900 for extension of customs work, an6
scores of other important payment:
Ringing on the passage of the bill.
The last measure signed was bill
disposing of lands in the Colville In
dian reservation.
Many important appointments made
by President Taft in the last few
months were left unconfirmed.
Appropriations for the expenses o
the government in the fiscal year o.
1913 amounted to S1,019, o,143, ac
cording to a statement made to thu
senate by Senator Warren, chairman
of the appropriation committee.
The total is less than that of las
year by $7,O46,7SS and is s21, 100000,
less than the estimates.

Seattle.-A career in frenzied finance
that threatened to disrupt the single

brought to a close in the arrest here
of A. B. Turner, a poolroom keeper
formerly of San Diego, Cal. Turner

grand larceny. Turner's operations
involve $4,000, the greater part Of
which he would have collected had
not his scheme been disclosed through
the discovery of a forged bill of lading
which was presented at local bank.
Turner refuses to discuss his
scheme, but the prosecuting attorney
says he has admitted that he forged
the names of railroad agents to bills
of lading for cars of shingles which
he had sold at 80 cents below the
market price, but which he did not
ship
Thirty-one sight drafts with alleged
forged names of agents are in posses
sion of the prosecuting attorney. They
were attached to letters. in many cases
to banks outside of Seattle, in all
the sums aggregate between $4,000
and $4,000.
A list of sight drafts covering bills
of lading already sent out amounting
to $5S15 was found and explained by
Turner, it is said Since his arrest
S14OO has been telegraphed to him and
is held in the office of the telegraph
company.

of the American lives or interests in

The Tenth infantry, now in the
canal zone, would be the first called
upon to answer the call. This branch
of the service is said to be much bet

The accident to the Vicksburg re-

The navy has none except the cruis-
er Cleveland, which has just been
taken out of reserve and ordered to
Nicaragua. These orders have been
rescinded and the Cleveland ordered
to overtake the Vicksburg at Magda-

Island for repairs. This will take
three days. The Cleveland will then
carry out the Vicksburg's orders.

Bocock Predicts
Victory for V. P. l.
Orange and Gray Eleven Will
Make Strong Bid for the
Game Thursday.
TECHNICAL MEETS BUSINESS
BY c. w. SWAN.

Branch Bocock. the former Georgetown
University gridiron star, who is coach
ing the V. p. I. eleven, is confident of
defeating the Blue and Gray aggregation
Thanksgiving Day on the Hilltop field.
The Blackburg aggregation will aver
age close to 10 pounds. while the line,
from tackle to tackle, will tip the beam
Rt lSS pounds. From this II is seen that
the Hilltoppers will not have any easy
time winning the final game of the 1872
season.
Yesterday the squad was put through
a stiff scrimmage by Head Coach Gar
gan. and the entire team worked well.
Several news plays were worked on, and
the spectators at the game Thursday
afternoon will see a few trick plays
worked by the Georgetown eleven.
Costello may be shifted TO half back
position, with Calnan in quarter. In
the Virginia-Georgetown contest Calnan
ran well In quarter for a short time, and
Coach Gargan may shift him again.
Jim Dunn will start the game in full
back, with Murray and Fury in the half
back positions, providing Calnan is not
used.
Coach Bocock will more than likely
start "Mooch'' Peake. the former Tech
meal High School star, in quarter back.
This is Peake's first year at V. p. L, and
a brilliant future Is predicted for him on
the gridron.
Several local boys are playing on the
V:rginians including Legge and Hodgtns
The game will start promptly at 2:SO
o'clock. Manager Loichot, Of the Hill
toppers, announces a large advance sale.
Business and Technical will clash this
afternoon in the final game of the schol-
astic series at Union League Park, the
game starting at $3.50 o'clock. Coach
Farmer announced last night that with
the possible exception Of Wise in right
half back, the Stenographers will pre-
sent that same team which met Eastern
last week.
Tech will not outweigh the Pen Push
crs a great deal and A good game is
promised. Should business be returned
the winner, il will cause a three-cOr-
nered tie in the series. something which
has not happened in high school foot
hall for a long time. The same officials
viii handle the game.
Manager OlivCri, Of the Vigilants. has
finally arranged game for Thanksgiv-
ing morning. The independent champions
will take on tine All-Star SCholastics,
the game starting at IL o'clock.
Pete Lynch. the former Tech star.
who is captain OF the Stars. announces
a strong lineup. and promises 10 put
team on the field which will be able
TO lower the Vigilants' colors for the
first time in four years
Reggie Rawlings may be in the Stars
lineup, but as yet nothing definite has
been heard from him.
