BILL MAY CAUSE FIGHT.
Deficiency Measure and Amendment
to Penrose Resolution Expected
d, To Delay the Adjourn
ment.

Washington, Aug. ga few score
weary members of congress, and an
impatient president of the United
States confront an unprecedented
governmental situation following Sat
urday nights prolonged and fruitless
struggle to adjourn the session OF
congress. The outlook for this weeks
sessions of house and senate promised
an even more chaotic legislative con-
dition than obtained in the fight that
began Saturday morning and contin-
ued until nearly church time Sunday.
Disguised with adjournment failure,
many members of the senate took
early trains for their homes. Senator
Penrose predicted that there would
be much less than a quorum IN the
senate the early part of this week.
and house leaders were satisfied that
that body would be nearly 40 mem
bers short of the number necessary
to transact business.
Fiillbuster May Be Removed.
The double filibuster which compell-
ed the abandonment of the plan to
end the session of congress is ex-
pected to be renewed when the houses
re-cOnvene.
Senator La Toilette made known to
friends that he would insist upon Q
record vote on the adoption Of the
Penrose resolution for an investiga-
ton of campaign contributions of the
Standard Oil company in 1904 and Of
the correspondence between John D.
Archibald, George w. Perkins and
members of congress.
Senator Chamberlain who led the
other senate ilibuster. the object of
which was to force the house to agree
to the payment Of 100000 Of old
state claims, will have the support Of
many senate Democrats If he renews
his insistence to hold congress until
these claims are paid. The house lead.
ers are determined to fight the claims
until December If necessary.
Trouble Ahead.
Either of the senate filibusters hold
trouble for any plan of adjournment.
If Senator La Toilette should insist
on q record vote, it would become
necessary to secure = quorum. In
such an event he could hold the SEN
ate indefinitely because it would again
be unable to make an adjournment
agreement with the house.
The general deficiency appropria.
ton bill is agreed to on all points
except the 100000 Of claims demand
ed by Virginia, Maryland, Oregon
and Texas and the extra months pay
for employees Of the house and sem
ate. Chairman Fitzgerald of the house
conferees, renewed his declaration
that under no circumstances would
the house concede the payment Of
any OF these.
A bare quorum of senators was in
Washington up to the adjournment
failure. and less than quorum voted
on each proposition brought before
that body during the night.
Half dozen senators slept In their
chairs through the latter part of the
session, others wandered YEARLY
about the senate wing of the capital.
from the chamber to committee rooms
and back again. About three o'clock
the senate restaurant ran out Of food
and the senate went hungry.

course nothing came Of it-that is,
not for the moment But CoveIes-

The Cracker manager grabbed the
ball, took careful aim at Rudder-

middle OF Ruddy's back.
The craftsmanship was excel
