Washington, July 20.-Members of
congress who. are standing Valiantly
by the administration in the effort to
complete it's legislative program de-
spite the approaching campaign, while
admitting they are weary of legis-
lative delays and anxious to get home
to their districts. have resigned them
selves to the conclusion that there is
little hope for adjournment before fail.
Both houses of congress are having
trouble on rallying a quorum for the
transaction of business, but the party
whips are keeping constantly at work
bringing members who have left town,
back to Washington and they hope to
expedite what business remains as
rapidly as possible. Some senators and
representatives are permitted to go
home from time to tme to look after
their political fences, but it is the ains
Of iemocratie leaaers % keep a quorum
present at all times. Again this week
the chief business of the senate will he
to press antitrust bills with a hope
of getting q real start in the general
debate on the interstate trade COM
mission bill and to complete the re-
vision of the Clayton bill and the Ray
burn securities measure in committee
so that they may be submitted to the
senate. The Clayton bill probably will
be ready by Tuesday and Senator
Newlands, chairman of the Interstate
Commerce committee. hopes to have
the securities bill perfected before the
end of the week.
At least six weeks of discussion in
the senate on these trust measures is
contemplated, although some republl-
can senators insist that 1t will be
much longer than that before all can
be passed. There remains the proba-
bility that the three bills. will be
consolidated. If that is done the legis-
lative task may not be so prolonged.
One thing that promises to delay
the trust program is the difficulties
which have arisen over the nomlna-
tons Of Thomas D. Jones Of Chicago
and Paul M. Warburg of New York
as members of the federal reserve
board. The senate seems Sill to be
deadlocked over the confirmation of Mr..
Jones, administration champions or
the Chicago man still holding back a
vote in an effort to over some Of their
colleagues who oppose his confirma :
ton. The report of the minority OF
the banking and currency committee
who favor his confirmation has not
been submitted and it may be several
days before it is ready, the senators
hoping to receive a supplemental
statement from Mr.. Jones in answer
to the unfavorable majority report. At
all events no vote on the Jones'
nomination is expected until late IN
the week. It's outcome is doubtful
both sides to the controversy claim
ing to have a small majority. "
What may develop with regard to
Mr.. Warburg's nomination remains in
doubt, members of the banking COM
mittee having ceased to consider the
matter in view of Mr.. Warburg's re-
fusal to appear before them. =
President wilson's desire to have
the new Bryan investigating peace
treaties ratified before adjournment is
another matter that may prolong the
session The treaties, twenty in all,
are to be submitted to the senate

and forceful sermon on The Influence

Sunday school reference was also made
to the early days and Mr.. White told

The thirteen shows which make up
the amusement features offered by the

rum coupons, which entitled them to
admission to the show from 2 to 3

the World at Home shows are all in
place and the "barkers" for the differ

ward to the free attractions and the
display of fireworks, scheduled for

at o'clock, when the free attractions
will be staged opposite the grand stand.
These will be followed by a magnifi-
cent display Of Newton's fireworks at

a garrison of more than 1000. 1t Is
considered impossible for the Zapata
forces to advance beyond their present
position. Oslotepeck, Milpa Alta and
other villages in the federal district
have been evacuated by these revolu-
tionaryy bands on the approach of the
federals.
Without taking into consideration
the garrison in the capital, there are
sufficient volunteers ready to repulse

tempt to advance closer to the city.

protection of the capital against Mar
auders from the outside and disorders
from within.
The usual Sunday prevailed yester-
day, q bull fight being the main at
traction in the city, and in the villages
which were supposed to be menaced
by bandits, the residents were trans
quilly enjoying themselves, sitting in
the plazas, promenading and listening
