CONGRESS HAS
GROWN RESTLESS
Longer Daily Sessions Will
be Held in. Effort to
Clear up Work.

Washington. May 27.-Longer daily
sessions of the senate will begin this
week with view of eXpediting leg
islation and speeding adjournment of
congress as much as possible. Repub-
lican leaders like Lodge of Massac chu-
setts and Smoot of Utah are trying
to bring the session to a close by the
latter part of June. Others cling to
the possibility of an adjournment by
June Is, which the house democratic
leaders are pressing while many sena-
practicable. Strong pressure is being
brought to bear by many senators
with view to curtailing debate, ad-
vancing the hour of convening and
holding night sessions SO as to hast
en- all necessary legislation. with ap-
preparation bills kept to the front.
Plans of the regular republicans to
absent themselves on important tariff
votes are expected to simplify the
tariff situation and enable the presi-
dent to act on the straight democratic
tariff propositions
The important obstacles are Sena-
tor Hepburn of Idaho and the Lori
mer election case. Senator Hepburn
says that congress should stay in ses-
sion until November if necessary and
Is counting upon blocking tariff legis-
lation to the last ditch. Progressive
republicans like Senator Cummins Of
Iowa want adjournment. but want
some tariff revision first.
Republican senator's. figuring that
Senator Lorimers friends cannot save
him in his fish, for retention of his
seat in the senate are urging that Sem
ator Lorimer should resign. They
say that he can point to the fact that
the previous vote of the senate. on
the first investisa ton, vindicated him,
and that the situation is such now
that 1t will be to his best interests
Immediately to submit his resigna-
ton. Meantime Lorimer's plea of ILL
ness and his request that nothing be
done in his case until he can return
to Washington have been allowed to
rest without action on either side.
The senate committee on interstate
commerce. which has been consider
ing proposed antitrust legislation,
will begin night sessions on Wednes-
day. On the same date Mayor Gay
nor and other officials are expected to
argue before the senate committee
on public buildings and grounds for
the proposed appropriation of $5.-

court house for the southern district
Of New York and new postoffice for
the southern part Of the borough Of

WILL ACCEPT
Will Preside Over National
Republican Committee as
Temporary Chairman.

Washington. May Ex-senator Elihu
Root Of New York who has been NAM
ed temporary chairman of the repub.
lican national convention by sub
committee Of the republican national
committee issued a statement today
declaring there is no foundation what
ever for the report that he has decided
not to accept the temporary chair
manship Of the convention. Senator
Root said:
There is no foundation whatever
for the story that I contemplate de-
clining to act as temporary chairman
Of the republican national convention.
The customary duty of the committee
on ARRANGEMENTS requires them to
designate some one to render that
service. I was notified by the COM
mittee that they had designated me
and accepted the designation. Un-
less that designation is overruled, as
of course 1t may be by the conven-
ton, shall serve.'
