PLANNING TO END CONGRESS.

A plan to end the session of con press Saturday, June 20, has been started by Senator Kern, Democrat ic leader of the Senate. It may end sooner. Senator Kern's program contemplates d division of the Work of the session as follows:
 1-Passase of the Panama tolls pll''
 2-Passase of antitrust leglsla- ton.
 3-Miscellaneous business, includ- ing a variety of odds and ends, put no measure of signal importance
 Senator Kern intends within few days to confer with senators inform ally with view to reaching an agreement that will facilitate the work of the session. He will try to bring about "gentleman's under standing," not only as to the date of adjournment, but as to the. limitation on the program indicated and the amount of time that shall be consum- ed in debate on each feature of the program. When this is done all hands can pull together to wind up the session.
 It is an easy matter to bring the House of Representatives around to adjournment on specified date. The machinery of the House, including the committee on rules, is such as to choke off the lonw-winded mem bers whenever it is applied to that purpose. But in the Senate, where there is no cloture, it is necessary to proceed automatically and reach common agreement such as Sena- tor Kern is attempting to bring about,
 Senator Kern's leadership in this matter is said to be in accord with the wishes of President Wilson. The president has made the backs of the solon bow and creak under load of heavy work for more than year of constant grind and now he is will ing they shall take a well-earned rest before beginning the even fiercer grind of the campaisn.-Ex.
