HOUSE AND SENATE
ARE DEADL0CKED
Plans for Adjournment Of Con-
gress Are Off.
OLD STATE CLAIMS is CAUSE
Amendments to General Deficiency
Appropriation Bill Cause Dramat-
lc and Unprecedented Situation
From Legislative Viewpoint

Washington, Aug. 27--Congress did
not adjourn sine die Saturday night as
had been planned, but continued In
session until half-past four Sunday
when an adjournment was taken until
one o'clock today.
The senate and house are dead
locked over the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill. The house Is bitterly
unyielding; q filibuster within fill
buster is on In the senate, and no
member of either body Knows when
the second session of the Sixtysecond
congress will adjourn sine die.
A congress has never faced such a
complicated deadlock as that which
demonstrated the truth of the axiom
that the best laid plans of men oft go
awry. All night the two bodies
had fought over four amendments to
the general deficiency bill. the last of
the annual appropriation measures.
These amendments concern claims Of
the states of Oregon, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and Texas against the United
States government. Some of the
claims are more than hundred years
old. They amount in the aggregate
to about 100000.
The senator's from these states say
adjournment cannot be taken unless
the deficiency bill provides for these
claims and also for an extra months
pay for the employees of the house and
senate. The house, by practically
unanimous vote asserted that it would
never, never yield.
The btterest of feeling prevails.
The situation is dramatic and unpre-
cedented from legislative stand
point.
Mr.. Taft was angry, too Anticipat-
ing that congress would adjourn Sat
urday afternoon, the president ar
ranged to leave for Beverly at $50
o'clock. The conferees on the remain
ing supply bills were still cajoling and
threatening each other. Then the pres
ident planned to go at l2:10. He sat
impatiently in the marble room when
that hour arrived. Another train left
at 12:3O, but II left without the presl-
dent, his secretary, aide and the Sc
cret service men.
When the hour of 4: Is arrived Mr..
Taft climbed rather dejectedly into
the White House automobile and re-
turned to the White House. A few
minutes later the senate and house,
hopelessly deadlocked. adjourned.

TWO AMERICANS EXECUTED
BY NICARAGUAN REBELS
Killed During Massacre by Frenzied
RebeIs-Although Wounded, They
Are Not Spared.

Washington, Aug. 24-The massa-
ere OF the loyal Nicaraguan troops
sent to defend the town of Leon Is
fully confirmed in a belated cablegram
received on Thursday from the Ameri-
can legation at Managua, dated Au-
gust 10. The affair was even more
disastrous to the government forces
than originally reported. The state
department has instructed Minister
Weitzel at Managua to investigate the
deaths of two Americans named
Phillips and Harvey Dodd, the latter
from Kosciusko Miss, who was re-
ported to have been murdered by the
rebels at Leon.
According to the report received at
the state department, Dodd and Phil
lips were fighting with the govern
ment troops. In the defeat they were
taken to a hospital badly wounded.
where they were killed In the massa-
ere which followed.
The murders, though not entirely
parallel. recall the killing of Cannon
and Groce by Zelaya in 1909, which
resulted in an upheaval that threw
the dictator out Of Office and sent him
to European exile. The state depart
ment is pressing for more informa
ton.

SOFT GINGER COOKIES
old RECIPE WORTH RETAINING
IN THE MEMORY.
;levelsnd Claims II as Its Own, but
Rightly It Should Belong to
All the World, So
Here IL is.

Years ago Cleveland had "wom'
ans exchange" where the good cooks
Of the city brought doughnuts and
bread and baked beans and other
good things that they excelled In
making. The ginger cookies they
sold have left fragrant, lasting MEM
ory behind them; no one ever speaks
of the Repository" as 1t was called.
without saying do you remember the
ginger cookies we used to buy there?'
A Euclid avenue store still sells gin
ger cakes made over the old recipe:
little cakes that are moist and soft
and dark with spice and syrup and
rich with butter, but sells them at a
price that is prohibitive to even Eu-
cid avenue residents.
A stroke Of good luck has sent the
original recipe to me- and now we can
all have a feast of Cleveland's ginger
cakes:
Two cups OF dark New Orleans mo-
lasses, one cup of white sugar, one
half cup Of melted butter or butter
and dripping melted together. (The
dripping is superior to butter in gin
ger cakes, most persons think) One
cup of sour milk or buttermilk, two
eggs. two level teaspoons Of soda, one
level teaspoonful Of salt, one rounded
teaspoon of ginger and one OF CHINA
mon.
Beat the shortening with the sugar,
add the spices and the molasses,
then the beaten eggs. Put the soda In
the sour milk and add It with enough
sifted -four to make cake batter.
Bake in gem pans or In muffin tins
in moderate oven about fifteen mir
utes. AS these are very rich they
must be baked as carefully as a layer
or pound cake.
Beside the ginger cakes there used
to be ginger snaps that really snap.

Bakers of ginger cakes and cookies
will find that there Is n great differ
ence in molasses 1t used to be that
one could send for black" molasses

the grocer sent with best results; now
It Is difficult to buy good cooking

Vanderbilt Affair Is Most Extravasant
Ever Seen In Newport.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 26,~-The fancy
dress ball which MIR. and Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt gave at their splen-
did residence Peaudieu, on Friday, will
go down in history as the most extrav-
agant affair of its kind ever seen in
Newport.
Its whole tone and color was OF the
effete east; distinctly oriental. The
dance cost SIS, 1000, it is estimated by
the few fashionables here. They es.
Innate, too, that the women whose
grace and beauty adorned the occasion
wore $10,000,000 worth of jewels. Da-
monds, pearls and rubies glittered
even in the heels and Oh the buckles
Of the golden slippers that encased
the women's twinkling feet.
