His Position
Senator Swanson In the Vice
Presidential Chair When
Senate Adjourned - Turn
Forward Clocks Hands

-WashiAgtefa, Oct. 24.-Genxross nd.
journed sine die this afternoon. I'm
lees assembled In extraordinary ses-
sion by the President, It will not re-
sumo business until the f1rst Monday
In December. So eager wore the soma
tors and Representatives TO. get away
that In both houses the hands Of the
clock were turned forward moro than
thirty minutes, 50 that Congress really
stead OF 1t O'Clock, Is the concurrent
resolution provided that it should.
There was an element of comedy in
the performance.
Today's adjournment was extra
ordinary In at least one respect. 1t
was the first time 50 far as anyone N
Washington can recall. when the
President Of the United States was abb
sent from the capital upon the adj
Journment Of Congress. There was 1T
tie exciting scenes In either house.
What little excitement there was GEN.
tered around Representative Henry,
OF Texas. That statesman has been
holding the House lp for the past
three days, preventing adjournment
by his refusal of unanimous consent
for the House to proceed without q
quorum.
The House met at noon and Mr..
Henry was ready to interpose his mo-
ton of no quorum when Leader I'm
derwood stepped into the breach vita
the suggestion that the House might
take q recess until 2 o'clock II the
gentleman from Texas would with
hold. Mr.. Henry agreed.
Warning Factions Agree.
At 2 o'clock the House resumed its
sittings and at once Mr.. Underwood
informed Ii that an Agreement be.
tween the warning factions had been
reached and suggested another recess
until 3:15. This was accepted and
Mr.. Henry made no objection. He.
however. made q brief speech defend
ing the position he has all along as
sumed in regard to the need for cot
ton relief legislation.
In the Senate the closing scenes
were even quieter. The way had pesn
cleared last night for the passage Of
an adjournment resolution today.
When the Senate met not over twonty
senators were In their seats When
the Senate adjourned probably not
more than q dozen were present. When
word came to tho Senate that tho
House had taken time by the forelock
and turned forward the hands Of the
clock, there was . general demand
that the example be followed in me
Senate. and finally ono Of the en-
ployes pushed the minute hand around
to IL. and Senator Swanson. In the
chair. declared the Senate adjourned.
The closing exercises were enliveu-
cd by 4 speech from Senator Hoke
Smith on tho cotton situation, in
which he complained about the treat
ment Congress had accorded the
South.

Got TO See America Now.

I'VE do not anticipate that
the European war will in any
way affect the two expositions
to be heldin California at San
! Francisco and San Diego in
1915" said J. NJ. Connell, Gen.
eral Passenger Agent of the
Santa Fe yesterday. On the
contrary, it looks as if our pas
senger traffic to California will
be better than ever this season
because Americans who go
abroad every year will be forced
to seek places of amusement in
their own land. The tide of
this travel will automatically
set for California, which in
climate and attractions bears
considerable resemblance to the
French and Italian Rivera.
Already 275 congresses and
conventions have been schedul.
ed for San Francisco during
1915 and positive dates have
been assigned from February II
to November 10.
Our plans to handle this
traffic are extensive and in ad-
dition to $2,000,000 wOrth of
new equipment now being de-
livered. embrace the carrying
out of many improvements.
Mr.. Connell also pointed out
the advantages which this coun-
try would derive from increas-
ed travel within its borders.
1T MEANS" he said, that
all Of the American dollars
which annually go into the cof-
fers of the English. French,
German and Italian hotel and
resort keepers, will this year be
spent in America-one of the
many things which spell pros
perity for the United States at
this time.
Most of this traffic will be
over the Belen-cut off via Clovis.
The Galveston-Pacific road is
also getting ready for the big
exposition traffic.

Check Artist Caught

A man giving the name of
Johnsey was arrested fourteen
miles east of Farwell in Texas
last week by city Marshal,
Irvine, charged with passing a
forged check in payment o f
goods purchased at the Mandell
Clothing Store. It was through
instance o f Tom Reagan for
whom he was employed that he
was detected and given over to
the officers. He did not deny
his guilt and said that he had
heard the name of Carlton in
Clovis and supposed there was
someone here by that name, so
that he signed a $50 check as C.
A. Carlton and presented it in
payment of $16 worth Of cloth
ing and allowing the balance to
apply on a suit of clothes which
he ordered. He told Mr.. Man
dell at the time that he had talk
ed with the banker and that the
banker had wired and found the
check good and that the money
Would be in for deposit on the
evening train. Mandell accept
ed the check because he had
allowed half as part payment
on the suit for which he had his
measure taken. Johnsey, who
is about twenty-five years 0 f
age, stated to the officer that
when he first entered the store.
that he intended to try and get
the cash on part of the check,
but that his nerve failed hila.
He found considerable amuse-
ment in the fact of his deceiving
officer Sadler, with whom he had
conversed prior t o his arrsst.
He said that Sadler described
the man wanted, stating his of !
fense. whereupon Johnsey in
formed him that he had not seen
anyone of that description. He
Wa S in company with Tom
Reagan at the time, who had
picked him up walking to Text
co and had offered him employ
ment at the grading Gimp. He
accompanied the officer without
opposition and is now confined
in the county bastile to await
the action of the grand jury.

Dollar Wheat.

A dollar a bushel is the price
now being paid for wheat by
Clovis wheat buyers this week.
At no town in the country is
such high price being paid.
Clovis is the best wheat market
in the state and the majority of
the farmers know it.
Clovis has the advantage OF
its competitors in freight rates
and is therefore able to pay
more for grain of all kinds.

Hot Weather

1t is unnecessary for US to say
that it has been unusually hot
for this time of year, as most
people have found it out. SUM-

100, which, with the exception
of one day in June and one in
July, when it went to 10l, was
the warmest Of the season.

had the effect of putin g a dam

cording to the announcement
however, of the fair association
and of railroad officials, the
