DEFICIENCY BILL
Mann Prevents Passage Be-
cause of Hawaii Water
Power Site

WASH1NGTON,.<D c., Aug. 6.-As
the result of a, filibuster. engineered
by Minority Leader Mann, the House
today was forced to adjourn without
passing the general deficiency bill, al
though 1t was on its way to final pas
sage. The filibuster was aimed at a
water power site amendment attach
ed under a special rule to the meas
ure, and at times throughout the de-
bate the exchanges were acrimonious.
The rider empowered the Secretary
of War to grant and lease" to the
successful bidder the rights to sur
plus water of the Schofield Barracks.
on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. Mann
asserted that it was an attempt to
give over valuable government prop
erty TO a monopoly. . -z-,i.s r. -.
Mann charged that the special rule
fastening the rider was framed 80 that
a roll call could not be had on the
question and in order that its sup
porters could dodge responsibility
Representative Fitzgerald retorted
that the corporation now operating
the water privileges on the govern
ment reservation was paying nothing
for the privilege, which was worth,
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year. He
said the legislation was for the pur-
pose Of clearing up the situation and
compelling the company to pay it's
just returns. =. l.. ~. d. e-sz
A series of sharp exchanges be-,
tween Mann and Representatives.
Mondell of Wyoming and Kahn of Cal

Representatives Fitzgerald and Shir-I

tative Fitzgerald announcing his In
tention to shut off all debate.

may knock me down and drag me-
OUT shouted Mann, but he, won't do
It with my yielding consent.
Raising the point of no quorum, the
leader followed that roll call
with series of parliamentary tao
tics. A few at q time, the Democrats
dwindled away to prepare for the
caucus at o'clock. Watching his

Daily Mail Article.
The article in the Daily Mail which
angered Mr.. Brown said I'm part:
Most OF the athletic spirit in Amer

investigating the after careers OF
American athletes. Quite a large
number win by their Olympic sue

Stadium is a made man, in a small
way, and this prospect, of course.
greatly adds TO the serious energy Of
the competitor. He IL not profession
al, but he Is making profession.
The day / arrived at Stockholm i
heard men in the Stadium itself dis
cussing what are called track tao
tics, which consist not less In win

winning. The elaboration Of the
game is excessive A government
premium, private guarantee of En-
900, the hiring of a fine steamer to
convey the team, suggest a more than
Greek extravaganza The loud re-
'Eponses OF their athletes to the deaf

preliminary days in the Stadium The
very generosity and zeal Of the team

fusion between the parts Of hosts and
guests, not always to the satisfaction
of Sweden.
Again, In their eagerness to miss
no victory that might win points, the
definition OF American citizenship Is
considerably strained. A native OF

RAIL ROADS MAY
DELAY OPENING
OF PANAMA CANAL
Democrats in House Block
ing the Necessary Appropri-
alton Bill

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug.fl.-un'
less Congress, at this session pro
vides for the operation Of the Panama
canal, President Taft and Secretary
Stimson believe 1t viii be practically
impossible for Ahe army engineers e
keep their promsie to open the biz
ditch to the ships OF the world next
year. ....-z ..s....-= s@.s =
According to information brought tc
the White House yesterday the pros
pect of action at this session is grow
ing DINNER. -. Kills q, : ~.
Mr.. Stimson was understood to be-
.lieye there Is little contention over
the proposed administration and oper-
alton Of the canal, but the questions
of tolls and of railroad-owned steam
ships have stirred up controversy in
both houses and today neither the
President nor his Secretary Of War
was hopeful Of settling II.
The Panama bill was. put aside
again in the Senate yesterday after
Senator Brandegee. who is guiding It,
stated that adjournment probably
would be FASTENED If 1t were consid-
cred In the Senate, while the postof-
flee bill was in conference, but the
only ray of comfort that frittered
through to the White House was the
news that Representative Adamson of
Georgia, chairman of abe house Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, was
considering the Introduction of joint
resolution providing for the machin-
cry Of administration and operation Of
the canal -
Mr.. Adamson was understood to be
ready to bring In such o resolution
whenever 1t became apparent there Is
no chance for q compromise.
Taft Much CONCERNED.
President Taft was much concerned
today over the prospect of delay in
the opening Of the. canal.
In many speeches he has predicted
that the Atlantic and the Pacific
would be joined at Panama in 1913 and.
at one time the President believed he
would be able to steam through the
canal on the old battleship Oregon
when the formal opening was celebra-
ted during his present term In the
White House. When he broke ground
at San Francisco last October for the
Panama-Pacific Exposition he practi-
cally promised the people of the coast
to have the canal ready next year,
spoke of the Oregon as the ship that
should first cleaye It's water and
made 1t clear that he would like to-
be on her bridge when the trip began.
So far the President has refused to-
write a special message to Congress
on the subject Of the canal. He told
visitors recently that he did not be-
lieye it necessary fop him further to
advise Congress of his position.
Within the last few days, however,
members Of the house have notified
him they would oppose any legislation
In regard to the Panama canal that
did not settle all the matters involved.
Secretary Stimson has taken issue
with the congressman, but the Presi-|
dent has not made known his attitude.
It was said last night he might send
IN a special message.

fare not expert swimmers, one OF the
most notable victories In the games.
An Indian supplies the deficiency OF
Americans in distance running.
South Africans Eligible.
On such a principle the South At
ricans, who were in their smaller
way almost as successful as the
Americans, would have good reason
to be included In the British team.
or course the Americans are natur-
ally specialists and we are not In
the United States as many as $4,000
people will flock to see an athletic
meeting. In England $4,000 is a big
gate" We play many games OF
many sorts. The Americans play few.
Our way, in my view at least, Is pref
cradle. II is better doubtless to be
an. all-round athlete than to be
forced into prominence at one sim
gle event. But this does not in the
least excuse a nation for going out
unprepared and ilLequtpped into
competition on which the interest OF
more than half the world is conferred.
IL the team had been collected and
the competition organized by men as
well qualified as the Americans. who
had begun early enough, we should
have done well instead of badly. The
classical Greeks used to train for
year. The Americans and the Firms
are not afraid OF training for several
years. Il is better not to ask how
long preparation has been made by
some of our athletes. or how often
training has been broken even within
sight Of the final race.
We lost because We deserved to
lose. "
Another clipping to which Mr..
Brown refers is as follows:
Wall from Loser. 49,
To the Editor of The Daily Mail.
! Sir:-It makes the ordinary man
very indignant to hear all this abuse
OF English athletes. Because other
countries like to specialize their men
into machines, only capable of doing
one thing we'll, II does not show that
they are In any way superior to our
men. This sort of thing produces
curiosities, not men. !.

We have quite enough specialists as
Il Is. Before man can really be con-
sidered an athlete he ought to be able
to hold his own in half-a-doEen differ
ent events. ].
"Gladiatorial shows" are generally
considered q sign of decadence. Yet
your correspondents seem to, wish to
extend the system further and make
all games into professions, and thus
