 This does not refer to Chinamen: Chi ramen are scarce in the canal zone. It is the cpothet applied to Colonel Goethals 8 motor car. which is mounted on Hanged wheels and looks more like taxicab gone railroadng than anything else in the world It is painted the regulation bil- ious yellow of Panama railroad passen- ger coaches and you can scare a shrker cut of a wet seasons growth by yelling, Here comes the Yellow PeIil! But, as likely as not the " ellow Peril (also known asethe Brain Wagono is running empty, because the Colonel has dropped off to take a short cue to a steam shovel or a branch of compressed air drills. or a new drainage ditch, or something Aelse that has interested -him. Presently he will come along perched on top of d load ed drt train (dirt" means anything from mud to 10-ton Jumps of trap); or walking at a good swinging pace over rough con- struction tracks and slippery fragments of spiintered rock A morning stroll with Colonel Goethals in the Culepra Cut is fully equal to walk with Colonel Rocse- welt in Rock Creek park.

 Speaker Clark sauntered in from the lobby and suddenly from a group gath cred in front of Republican Leader Mann, there drifted across the chamber a song with the words "Old Champ Clark they say he has no style, but he's there all the while" Members generally joined in the chorus. The Speaker smiled broadly and Mrs Clark, in the gallery, with friends, rose, and with other women near her, remained stand ing while the chorus lasted. While Rep resentative Mann made few remarks the song shifted to "Old Jim. he ain t got no style, but he's objecting all the whle," and amid uproarious laughter a quartette kept the fun going. The sing CTS played no favoiites. Governor Wood row Wilson.

 House Sends Ultimatum
 Just before adopting the resolution to adjourn the House served an ulti- matum on the Senate by returning the conference report on the general deficiency bill to that body with the demand that the upper chamber waive its insistence for an agreement to the amendment providing one months eX- tra pay for Congress employees and the payment of claims made by the states of Texas, Oregon Virginia and Maryland. No conference was asked by the House. MT Fitzgerald an- nounced that either the Senate would recede or the bill would go over until December. The House then took a re- cess until ? o'clock to give the Sen ate opportunity to act.
 The executive session of the Sen ate was made possible after several hours of inaction in the Senate by the appearance of Senators Warren and Crane, who were recorded as present. They completed a quorum
 The executive session lasted less than five minutes. When the doors again were opened Senator McCum Der moved to lay on the table a motion by Senator Smoot to proceed with the calendar, This was agreed to.
 LaFollette Gains Point Senator LaFollette then renewed his motion to take up the Penrose cam paign fund resolution. This also was agreed to.
 After a short debate the Senate voted to include the names of Colonel Roosevelt and George w. Perkins in the Penrose resolution of inquiry into Correspondence or financial transac- tions with John D. Archbold and mem bers of the House and Senate"
 Consideration of the Penrcse reso- lution was interrupted before it pro ceeded far by motion by Senator Stone that the Senate recede from its disputed amendments to the general deficiency hlE This provoked storm of protest from senators from the states affected.
 The House and Senate during the day and early evening took recess after re- cess in the hope that the conferees could settle their differences Part of the afternoon session in the Senate was devoted. to the Penrose resolution. but Senator Hepburn prevented action then.

the capitol were unable to predict the out come.
 When MT. IaFollette presented his amendment which would compel the com mittee to investigate all contributions to the preesnt campaign. an objection was in terposed by Senator. Hepburn, who had fought the proposal earlier in the day. Senator Shoot protested that he had yielded the floor to MT. LaFollette for the purpose of asking unanimous consent for consideration or the resolution and not to permit the making of formal motion.
 Would Prevent Adjournment
 In turn the Wisconsin Senator served notice that he would object to any unani- nous consent resolution, made by Senator Shoot or other senators, without which business could not proceed. All senators realized 1t would be practically impossi- ble to hold quorum even if one were obtained. To test the situation, Mr. Shoot moved that bills on the calendar be taken up. LaFollette demanded the ayes and nays.
 Leaning across his desk, MT IaFollette said to Senator Shoot in what he intended as an undertone.
 You will see where you've got us to now. We will stay here until we vote on this resolution
 The Wisconsin Senator thumped his desk with his fists and showed his satis- faction as 1t became evident that the re- quired number would not respond to the call. Once a quorum was announced. but only 36 senators answered, when Shoot $ motion was voted upon.
 At Q o'clock the sergeant-at-arms was searching the city for absentees. He had one man stationed at the union station watching for departing members.
