ADJOURNMENT MOMENTARILY
 EXPECTED TODAY
(Continued from Page 1.)


 This morning the Senate and House met, with no change in the legisla tive deadlock indicated. Legislators fac ed another day. of filibustering and jockeYing for advantage. and leaders believed the end of the session was in definitely postponed. Disguised with the deadlock, many members Slipped out of town and a count by leaders, today, disclosed lack of quorums. Ii was to avert the point of mo quorum" that the leaders pleaded because such a point would force suspension of all business until kergeants- s-at-arms could arrest members and bring them back to Washington.
 The situation was complicated by a double filibuster in the Senate, which. at least five Senators determined to tie up adjournment unless measures they advocated were enacted.
 Senators Chamberlain, of Oregon, Martin and Swanson, of Virginia and Culberson of Texas, threatened inde- finitely to deadlock the session unless the general deficiency bill was passed with the provisions authorizing re- payment by the federal government of loans made by Virginia, Maryland, Oregon and Texas, some of them a century ago. The House refuses to acquieece in these provisions.
 Senator LaFcllette demanded passage of the Penrose- Reed-Poindex- ter resolution directing the Clapp com mittee on contribution to investigate the whole of the Standard Oil com pany's contributions to past cam paigns and the truth of the published charges that it had a finger in cer- tain legislation The Wisconsin Sena- tor also insisted that George w. Per kins, one of the Roosevelt lieuten- ants, be investigated.
 At 2:25, the House took an hour s recess, the leaders hoping in the in terim that a definite hour of ad- journment could be fixed.

.M'LOUGHLIN WINS
 TENNIS LAURELS
Is: Now Both Singles and Doubles =/s Champion Collegiate
 Title Holder

Newport, RI, Aug. 26.-Maurice Mclaughlin, of California, today, won the national singles championship, defeating Wallace F. Johnson, ot Philadelphia, after the latter had taken the first two sets, on the cham pionship courts at the Casino before a crowd of 6,000.'
 Mclaughlin now has the distinc- ton of being both singles and dou- bles champion, having won both titles here. Mclaughlin was a heavy fav- orite' over the former collegiate cham pion, and his loss of the first two sets was a surprise. He regained his form in the third set, however, and by brilliant playing made it three straight. The score: 3-6, 2-6, 6-2.

PRICE OF COAL
 AGAIN BOOSTED
General Increase of 25 Cents Per Ton-BridgepOrt Not
 Affected

New Haven, Aug. 26-The price of coal in this city will be raised a quar- ter of a dollar a ton on September End, according to statement of one of the largest dealers in the city. This will apply to nut alone, it is believed. Shortage in the supply on hand is given as the cause.
 Boston, Aug. 26-Prices on all kinds of coal excepting nut coal went up 25 cents per ton. today. through an agree ment reached between New York dealers and the New England Coal Dealers association. Stove and nut sold at $.75, egg at $7.5O and furnace coal at $7.
 According to c. W. York, one of the largest New England dealers, a S,00o.0O6 eton shortage is responsible.
 Though there is a shortage of nut and stove coal in this city. none of the dealers consulted today could state whether or not there would be an increase in the price. The price of coal is general among the many dealers. Though much has been said about increases and strikes the prices have been the same since last October. z Many reasons are advanced by To- 2 cal dealers for the shortage. among them being the strike, the demand be- ing greater than the supply and also quite important is the fact that the coal baronS are now shipping the greatest part of their supply. to the lake regions before cold weather sets in. freezing up the lakes and rivers. It can be noted that coal is con siderably cheaper here than in Boston. The prices here are stove, furnace and egg at $6.75 and nut at $.
