SENATE EF|L|BUSTER AGAINST WATERWAY
 MEASURE CHECKED
Old Precedent Called Into Use to Stop Opponents Talking Bill to
 Death

Washington, September 17.--The Senat. hlibuster against the rivers and harborl appropriation bill met its first effective parliamentary check today when Ions forgotten precedent was revived from ths records of the Fifty-frst Congress tc hamper those who are trying to talk the bill to death.
 The precedent was a ruling made by former Vice President Levi P. Morton that senator occupying the floor could not yield" to another except by unani- Senator Kenyon, who was in the fourth day of speech against the bill, to con- tlnue talking himself in order to hold the floor, instead of yielding to other op- ponents of the bill in order to secure a few minutes rest.
 Senator Bryan of Florida, made the point and quoted Vice President Morton ruling, which was made during a dem- ocratic filibuster against the force bill of 1891. Senator Robinson, occupying the chair, in the absence of Vice President Marshall, sustained the point of order, and the Senate by vote of B to 24, laid on the table an appeal from the decision made by Senator Shoot. Six democrats voted with the republicans against the ruling.
 The decision evoked an outburst of pro test Senator Kenyon denounced the de- mands for putting on a gag rule to force vote on this pork barrel"
 A short time later similar situation again arose. and Senator Pomerene. then in the chair, declined to rule on the point of order made by Senator Sheppard who endeavored to prevent Senator Kenyon from yielding to Senator Clapp. Senator Pomerene said he again would submit the question to the Senate. A debats on the point of order was interrupted by an executive session, and the Senate will vote on the proposal again tomorrow.
 An unsuccessful effort was made by supporters of the bill to secure the ac- quiescence of quorum of the Senate to hold session tonight to force Senator Kenyon to conclude his speech.

HARDING OUTLINES NEW COTTON PLAN
 ID CONGRESSMEN
Idea of a Southern Cover n0r' for Financing Crop Explained by Former
 Birmingham Man

Washington September 17.-(Special) To the members of the House banking and currency committee, before whom he appeared win other members of the fed eral reserve board ". r. G. Harding to- day outlined the plan of "a southern gov ernor," as he expressed it, for financing the cotton crop through the period of the war In effect. this scheme is as fol- lows:
 Each of the nine cotton states' to issue bonds at per cent with which to take care of the crop within it's own borders.
 Also each state to provide by legisla- tion, if possible, or through some equany binding method, for reduction of the acre. age next year to one-half the acreage of this year.
 Price Would Rise
 Beyond this. MT. Harding expressed be- lief that instead of falling as time went on, the price of cotton would rise, and that spectators and investors would take the bull side of the market rather than the bear side. Belief prevails in we'll informed circles that the people of the south will not accept less than 10 cents pound for the staple, and it Is under stood that the price virtually has been begged securely at that figure. MT. Hard ing also opined that the exchanges we'll might be opened.
 In some parts of Alabama, Mir Harding informed the committee, he understood that merchants were accepting cotton for merchandise on a basis of 10 cents per pound, taking 20 per cent cash and 80 per cent cotton on their accounts
 Committee Impressed
 Altogether, MT. Harding was far more cheerful than pessimistc and the mem bers of the committee appeared greatly impressed with his words. Although Mr. Harding positively declined to disclose the identity of the southern governor" to whom he attributed the plan men, toned, 1t was understood he referred to the governor of Alabama.
 According to an Alabama member of the House, however. the plan was origi- mated by citizen of Sheffield.
 MT Harding expects the governor to ar rive in Washington tomorrow. c. E. S.

A STEADY FLOW OF|
 NEW TROOPS NEEDED DECLARESK|TCHENER|
English War Lord Outlines War Situation in Speech
 in House of Lords

London, September 17.-t7:15 p. m.) Field Marshal Earl Kitchener revealed the strength of the British expedition ary force in France and described what he believed must be done to assure sue cessful issue of the conflict. A steady flow of endorsements was required. he said.
 There were already in France, the sec retary of war said, rather more than six divisions of British troops and two di- visions of cavalry, which were being maintained at their full strength. Further regular divisions and additional cavalry were being organized from units drawn from overseas garrisons which were be- ing occupied by territorials and volun- teers. A division of territorials already had left for Egypt, brigade had gone to Malta, and a garrison force to Gibral- tar.
 Collecting New Divisions
 Referring to the two new armies. the secretary said that new divisions were be- ing collected at the training quarters. The third army was being formed on the new camping grounds and ine French army was being created. Meantime ln- dian divisions were on their way.
 In his dispatches from the front, Sir John French, commander of the British expeditionary force, had omitted, the sec retary continued, one aspect of the sit uation, the consummate skill and calm courage of the commander himself. The government appreciated, however, the full value Yf Sir Johns services.
 Earl Kitchener also paid a tribute tc the others and the bravery and endur- ance of the officers and men of the ex- peditionary force. The latest advices from General French he said, did not materially change the situation, us # already was known fl om published state ments. The troops were reported to he in good heart and ready to move forward,
 when the moment arrived"
 Subject of Recruiting
 On the subject of the recruiting, Earl Kitchener said:
 "A country which brides itself on out door sport as does England should have no difficulty in finding men capable of making officers. The territorials are making great strides iii efficiency and be- fore long will be able to take their part in the campaign. Meanwhile reserve units are being sent to augment the ex- reditionary force and their places are be- ing filled by territorials.
 While England has good grounds for quiet confidence 1t should be borne in mind that the struggle is bound to be long one and it behooves us to develop armed forces to carry on and bring the mighty conflict to a successful conclusion. It will be necessary to have the army at it's full strength to maintain a steady flow of endorsements.

In addition to the Louisville and Nashville, the Southern, Frisco and Alabama Great Southern are also peti- tioners in the cases.
 At the morning session of the commits sion all testimony was completeu in the case in which the St. Louis and San tian. cisco railroad is seeking to raise rates on coal from the mines of the Empire Coal an nv and ATo, Arguments of attorneys will be made later
 1t Is expected that the coal rate cases will not be completed before the last of next week. About 20 witnesses are here for examination.
