MORNING,
North Platte Forest
Reserve to Be Opened
to Homestead Entry
(From a staff CORRESPONDENTS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-(Special Tel
egram. )-The secretary of agriculture has
advised Congressman Kinkaid that 1t has
been decided to open for settlement under
the quarter-section act certain portions
of the North Platte forest reserve. 1t is
probable that more than S00.eJ0 acres will
be available for entry.
The secretary Of agriculture must first
classify the land to determine what is
to remain for forest purposes. This will
be done shortly. Mr.. Kinkaid intends 70
introduce a measure in the house in the
fall to make the area to be opened avail
able under the one-sectlon act. At pres
ent 1t can be entered upon only in quar-
ter-sedtion tracts. When 1t is classified
1t is believed that considerable area
will be suitable for one-section purposes.
The North Platte unit in the national
forest in Nebraska has been reserved for
about seven years. Much Of 1t has been
used by cattlemen, II is said. There has
been great desire on the part Of people
in that section to have 1t opened for en-
try. ..
An item in the sundry civil bill sets
aside an appropriation to continue re-
surveys in the Sixth district.

/, WASHINGTON, Aug. "A few score
weary members Of congress and an impa-
tient president of the United States today
confronted an unprecedented govern
mental situation, following last nights
! prolonged and fruitless struggle to ad.
journ the session Of congress. The out
look for tomorrow's sessions Of house and
senate prmised an even more chaotic leg
! islative condition than obtained in the
fight that began Saturday morning and
continued until nearly church time today.
Disguised with adjournment failure
many members of the senate took early
trains today for their homes. Senator
/ Penrose predicted that there would be
much less than quorum in the senate
when 1t meets at noon tomorrow and
house leaders were satisfied that that
body would be nearly forty members
short Of the number necessary to trans
act business.
The double fflibuster which compelled
the abandonment Of the plan to end the
newed when the houses reconvene. Sna-
tor La Toilette made known to friends
today that he would insist upon record
vote on the adoption Of the Penrose reso-
luton for an investigation of campaign
contributions of the Standard Oil company
in 1904, and Of the correspondence be-
tween John D. Archbold, George w. Per-
kins and members of congress.
No Compromise ON Claims.
Senator Chamberlain, who led the other
senate filibuster the object of which was
to force the house to agre to the pay
ment of 100000 of old state claims, will
have the support of many senate demo-
Gratis If he renews his insistence to hold
congress until these claims are paid. The
house leaders are determined to fight the
claims until December II necessary.
Either of the senate fiiibusters holds
trouble for any plan Of adjournment. II
Senator La Follete should insist on
record vote, 1t would become necessary
to secure a quorum. In such an event he
could hold the senate indefinitely. because
it would again be unable to make an
adjournment agreement with the houss.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill is agreed to on all points except the
s6OO, 1000 Of claims demanded by Virginia,
Maryland, Oregon and Texas, and the ex-
ira months pay for employees of the
house and senate. Chairman Fitzgerald
of the house conferees, renewed taday
his declaration that in no circumstances
would the house console the payment
of any Of these.
Measure May Go Over.
'.If the senate insists on these items In
the bill It will force the measure to go
over until the December session" he said.
''The house announced its attitude firmly
and sooner than see 1t yield on the items,
l will raise the point of no quorum.
Members know that 1t would be almost
impossible to secure quorum now, except
by the physical arrest of absent mem
bers."
Senat leaders were hopeful that the
senate might be induced to yield ON these
claims.
