Dot was a very small girl, and Carlo
was a very large dog, but they had
been friends for 80 long that both felt
quite safe with the other, though Dot
did hope that mother would not go
far away.
She was. however, too brave to say
so and putting one arm round Carlos

The dog and the horse often become
great friends and are very fond Of
each other. 4 gentleman had New
foundland dog that always went to
the stable to get his horse. While the

with his nose between his paws.
When the horse was ready the dog
took the reins in his mouth and led

lowed him in his ride.
On returning the rein was given to

Efforts to Agree on Applica-

Fails in Senate

Washington, judy 30.--Threats of a
Republican filibuster on the tariff, un.
less the Democrats agree not to take up
monetary legislation this summer, were
voiced in the Senate by Minority Leader
6allinger yesterday,
"The president called us in special SEES
sion to consider a tariff measure" Sena-
tor Gallinger said "and now we-are told
that we are to have currency legisla-
here and swelter all summer to discuss
a bin which, in the opinion of ma
iority Of the members of this body, can
not become law. ! want to say that if
we are to stay until snow flies we may
as well stay to discuss the tariff as any
other BILL"
When Senator Simmons declared that
he "could not believe" that Senator Gal.
linger intended to hold up final action
on the tariff bill, Senator Lodge rejoined;
"If we are not to be allowed to get
away when this task is done it is IN
eyitable that one incentive to prompt
action or haste is removed"
Speaking for the progressive Repub-
licans, Senator Borah declared that they
would do nothing to delay the tariff or
prevent consideration of currency reform
measures.
Attempts to have Democratic leaders
determine Immediately when the new
duties on wool and wooden products
should go into effect failed yesterday in
the Senate. Senator Brandegee. for the
wooden industry, asked for a joint reso-
luton fixing a date, and Senator War
rem seconded the appeal in behalf OF the
sheep rsisers. Chairman Simmons re-
piled he had brought the question to
the attention of Chairman Underwood
and hoped to have a conference during
the day.

Washington. July 30--A sharp fight in
Congress is threatened as the result OF
alleged wholesale changes and demotions
in the pension bureau, in which many
old soldiers are said to have been the
sufferers.
Representative Austin of Tennessee
a Republican, already has offered a reso-
luton in the House calling on Secretary
lane of the interior department for in
formation concerning the alleged shake.
up. especially as TO whether civil service
rules are being violated.
The activity of the Republicans is said
to be based on the report that when
Pension Commissioner Saltzgaber returns
to his post there will be further and
more sweeping charges. Acting Com
missioner Tiemsn is reported as saying
that, in the general organization, EN-
ployes with Democratic affiliations and
beliefs will be given preference on the
ground that working force in sympathy
with the administration is necessary to
satisfactory work. Denial was made by
Mr. Tieman,, however, that political faith
would be the prime requisite. Personal
worth and official record of service, he
said, would likewise carry weight.
Thus far the matter has not been tax

John A. Mclllhenny, president of the
commission, declared yesterday that no
representations had been made to him.

no affirmative action in the Digs Cam
netti white slave cases until after re-

Accompanying the telegram was a
memorandum showing it was sent by the
attorney general personally on the even
ing of May l6.
Presenting the papers, the judiciary
committee recommended that the Kahn
resolution be tabled since its purpose
had been accomplished. On that report,
Chairman Clayton arranged for FIVE
