! Associated Press Dispatch.
Washington, Aug. 26.-At the
end of three days filibuster in
which Senator LaFolettes threat OF
continued flibuster hung over tho
Senate to force consideration, that
body, today passed the Penroso
resolution, calling for a complete in
| vestigation of the campaign contri-
buttons of John d, Archbold and
George w Perkins and all of the
financial transactions and CORE
spondence relating thereto" between
the two financiers and Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt, representatives in
Congress and members of the Sem
ate of the United tSates."
The objection to the resolution
died out in the fnaI hours OF the
session.
Agreement Reached.
When the Senate met at noon ii
had bten mutually agreed that no
opposition would be made to Senator
LaFollettc's request for action, based
on the charges made by Penrose that
the Standard Oil Go. had contributed
100000 TO the Roosevelt fund in
1904, the resolution had been
amended by Senators Pondexter and
Penrose to cover respectively all the
activities of Archbold and Perkins
of political nature.
The resolution, once before the
Senate, passed with little discussion
and with no vote in the negative.
One important change made gives
witnesses the right to have their at
torneys at the hearings, before the
Senate committee.
Senator Clapp, chairman of the
subcommittee, which will conduct
the investigation said, today, that
his committee probably would not
reconvene until Sept 80.

Washington, Aug. 26 Soberei
by the embarrassment of Saturdays
all-night session of filibusters and
disagreements. Congress adjusted its
difficulties today, invited President
Taft up to the capitol once more.
and at 1850 wrote "Iinis' after the
proceedings of the second session of
the sixty-second Congress.
The end was marked with re-
turn of harmony and an end of fill
busters. Senator LaFollette. de-
manding action on the Penrose CAM
raign resolution, found all oppo-
sition smoothed away In front OF
him and the resolution passed al
most without discussion.
Senators Chamberlain, Martin,
Swanson and CuIberson, after fight-
ing bitterly ffr the payment OF the
state claims embodied In the gem
eraI deficiencies bill, yielded to the
.urgings Of their colleagues and per-
mitted the Senate to concede to the
demands Of the House and strike
this clause from the bill In return
for this concession. however, they
received the promise Of support next
winter, when the claims again will
be pressed for payment.
Extra Pay Goes.
With these claims, amounting In
all to 100000, went the extra
months pay for congressional EN-
ployes, which the Senate demanded
and the House refused to give. In
the last half hour OF the session,
while President Taft awaited in his
rooms TO sign the measures of the
dying Congress, an attempt was
made to rush through special reso-
luton giving the employees the extra I
month, but the House again blocked
it.
The President signed the general
deficiencies bill at f. 10 o'clock, MAX
ing certain the payment of $4,000
600 deficiency in army pay, the
$780, 900 for the Gettysburg memoir
iaI celebration uext year, the $780,
900 for extension of customs work
and scores of other important pay
monts that Mingled on the passage of
the bill.
The last measure to which his pen
was put was bill disposing of land

animation and color was lent to the
scene when tho women hocked down
from the galleries to join husbands
and fathers on the floors. The cor

happy members, their families and

was crowded with friends and ad-
