Plans for Adjournment Threat
ened by Action Of Repre-
sentative Murdoch.
HURRY CALL FOR ABSENTEES
Attack on Eads Bridge Company
Comes during Consideration
of Conference Report OH
Postoffice Bill.

Washinrton Aug 23.--Flans FOR ad-
tournment OF Congress tomorrow were
threatened tonight in the House by a
determined fight of Representative Muir
dock of Kansas against an appropriation
Of s35 900 for mail service on the Eads
bridge across the Mississippi river. The
bridge connects East st. Louis and St.
Louis and is owned by Is corporations.
MIR Murdoch, amid exciting scenes
among members anxious to get home. in
sisted on a point of no quorum ana a
hurried call was sent out for absentees.
The attack on the bridge came dur
ing the consideration of the confer
ence report on the postoffice appro-
priation bill which the Senate already
had adopted. Mr.. Murdoch first made
the point of order that the conferees
had exceeded their authority In put
ting into the bill an amendment which
provided that part of the appropria-
ton for inland transportation of mail
should be paid for carrying mails
across the bridge connecting those two
cities "other than upon a mileage bas-
is," and vesting discretionary author
ity in the general to pay
Il 1dlT anu TedSpHdDle price loT me Spe
cial transfer and terminal service al
the union station at both ends of the
bridge. including the use, lighting and
heating the mail building and trans.
fer service, the cost not to exceed
$4,000.
SAYS TRUST CONTROLS BRIDGE
Mr. Murdoch said that n trust control
ell the Eads bridge. the same trus
that operated the Merchants bridge neal
by and that there was no reason why
such a payment should be made to thu
Eads Bridge company.
Representative Moon of Tennessee anC
Representative Weeks from Massa
chusetts, the House conferees. replied
that the appropriation just about GOV
cred the actual cost of the service t,
the bridge company.
Mr.. Murdoch suggested that the Su
preme Court of the United States ha'
declared the Eads Bridge company
trust Mr.. Moon replied that trust or n
trust, the government should deal fairl
and justly with 1t.
The speaker overruled the point O
order on presidents and then overrule
Mr.. Murdocks' request for uanimou
consent for separate vote on tn
amendment in dispute.

Mr.. Murdoch then made the point Of
no quorum and n score of members
voiced their Indignation across the House
chamber. and Representative Mann. re-
publican leader, and others sought to
dissuade Mr.. Murdoch. Earlier in the
day. in anticipation of the move. Speaker
Clark and others had talked with Mr.
Murdoch In an effort to show that an
insistence upon a quorum at this time
might mean throwing adjournment of Con-
gress over into next week.
NO QUORUM is APPARENT.
After the roll call had proceeded some
time 1t became apparent that not even
an approximate quorum could he obtained
tonight and the House adjourned until
ten O'Clock tomorrow when the question
of adoption of the conference report
on the postoffice bill will be again brought
up. 1t was generally understood after
adjournment that Mr. Murdoch would not
renew his vital point of no quorum. in
which event the democratic leaders will
program.
The House leaders taking no
chances, sent messages late tonight
10 absentee democratic representatives
TO rush back to Washington to in
sure a quorum.
The army bill caused but little de-
bate in either branch and the confer
ence report was adopted by both
houses during the day The Senate
passed the general deficiency bill after
a short debate and conferees will ad-
