DEMOCRATS CONCOCT
ADJOURNMENT SCHEME
congressman Would Quit Now and
Assemble Again After
Election.

AS last hope for an early adjourn
ment democrats at the Capitol yesterday
concocted a scheme to close down the
House and Senate within few days.
as soon as the appropriation bills are
passed. and then assemble for an extra
session after election for the express
purpose of putting through the anti
trust bills. This proposition has been
discussed widely on the floor OF the
House. and il Representative Underwood
democratic leader. can gain the support
Of some of the senators he intends 10
talk to the President about the matter,
perhaps tomorrow.
Congressman who talked OF the matter
yesterday expressed the opinion that the
scheme would be good one-if the
President would agree to it: but few OF
them had any real hope OF that
View Of Republicans.
Republicans, who seem not to care
whether there is an adjournment or not
commented on the matter in this way:
1T might be good politics for the
democrats to adjourn. They could then
say to the country We ere passing the
antitrust bills. See, They have gone
through the House and will pass the
hand they could say to the corporations
and big business interests: See. We are
going slowly. We have not forced any
trust legislation out to cripple business
by intimidating capital
One situation which looms up in q
menacing manner against an adjourn
ment is closely connected with Col
Roosevelt. Democrats who are smarfing
under the broadside he fired before he
set sail for the land of Spain do not
want to leave the trust bills up in The
air while there is any chance OF the
colonel accusing the party Of -four
flushing on this important item OF law
making.
Senators Hold Back.
The senators are not disposed to agree
to the recess course. They are particu-
larly disinclined in view of the Prest-
dents insistence that Congress should
carry out the antitrust program before
adjournment Of this session and In view
of the party's declaration for antitrust
legislation.
They commended. in talks yesterday
that in view of the circumstances Cone
gress should stay in Washington. regard-
Tess az t9is coming primaries and every
thing else. To some Of them. senators
say, the President has expressed his
views very emphatically that the trust
bills should go through at this time.
