the adjournment deadlock was In
sight for congress today. Several
plans were under consideration by
party leaders for fnal getaway
and dissipation OF the filibuster Of
southern Democrats (iighting for
legislation to relieve the cotton sit
uation.
Conferences TO reach a plan TO ad-
Journ today were held between the
cotton insurgents and Democratic
leaders before the senate and house
re-convened. Confidence was ex-
pressed that some plan to end the
situation would be, found.
Trains today were crowded with
congressman leaving the city despite
the adjournment deadlock. Repub-
lican Leader Mann had given the
word to his flock In the house to
leave despite the situation. Both
the senate and house were without
q quorum, II was believed and with
little prospects OF getting one by a
resolution ordering return OF absen-
tees. II was not believed the cotton
hlibusters had sufficient strength to
pass such Q resolution.
A recess until after the Novem-
Der. elections, with promise to then
take up cotton legislation, was the
compromise sought by the cotton
contingent. A succession OF three
day recesses until after election was
another plan under consideration.
Foes of the cotton 'filibusters also
belligerently proposed that President
Wilson exercise his constitutional
powers arbitrarily to- adjourn con-
gress. Others suggested that the
cotton contingent be left here alone
while everybody else went home to
campaign.

Jury that a person who broke the

office must have suffered lacerations
on the hands or arms, Attorney Levy
asked Mrs. Carman II she had such
wounds The accused woman, smil-
ingly replied that she had not. She
removed her long gloves. The sleeves
of her jacket she pulled up above her
elbows and held her wellrounded,
white forearm up for the jury's In
