STATESMEN GROW
WEARY Of WORK

Washington, June IA proposal
that congress should adjourn in July
as soon as the appropriation bills are
disposed Of in both houses, was talked
over by Democratic leaders, but with
out result.
Majority Leader Underwood con-
ferred with Democratic senators and
with some OF his colleagues In the
house, and pointed out that the best
thing to do would be to clear up the
supply measures. Of which only the
sundry civil and general deficiency
bills remain in the house, and then
adjourn with the understanding that
the president convoke an extra SEES
sion in November
The senators are not disposed TO
agree to this course. They are par
ticularly dsintlined in view of the
presidents insistence that congress
should carry out the antitrust pro-
gram before adjournment of this ses-
sion and in view of the party's decia-
ration for antitrust legislation They
contend that in view Of the circurh-
stances congress should stay in Wash
ington. regardless of the summer
heat. the coming primaries and every
thing else To some of them, sena-
tors say, the president has expressed
his views emphatically that the trust
bills should GO through at this time.

tary Martin, of the local Chamber OF
Commerce Yesterday. stated that unless
Chesterfield county could get the sap
port Of Richmond in is efforts to have
the Petersburg to Richmond TURNPIKE
included in ths governments highway
plan, prominent citizens would ask the
legislature to make the turnpike toll
road" In this way II Is believed the
county would be successful in having
residents OF the city Of Richmond con-
tribute to the maintenance OF the road,
The county funds, according Ia Mr..
Hatcher'a statement. are not large
enough TO take care of the entire road
and AS the law provides that Richmond
may contribute to the up-keep of the
road within ten miles Of it's city limits,
the board of Supervisors think their
pleas for assistance should be heed
ed.
Petersburg has offered to assist liher-
ally in the maintenance II the road

Of tho counties are dping all in their
power to keep the road in good con-
dition during the summer.

Page delivered an address on Some
Aspects of American Democracy
before the Royal institution. In
the course Of which he referred
to the controversy aroused by tho
reference in a previous speech to the
dominance OF the British element In
the American population.
In its amalsamation OF men," Mr..
Page said. American Democracy so
far has produced no clearly cut new
type such as would satisfy the eth
nologist. but O type that combines the
qualities OF the North European races
Of which the British type Is the back
ground. the British type that Is itself

PESS|M|ST|C OVER
OUTLOOK FOR PEACE

Washington, June 14.--Constitu-
tional representatives here tonight
were pessimistic as to the outlook for
participation of members of their
party in the mediation conference
They believed that the demand of the
A-B-C mediators, that Carranza
agree TO an armistiee would constitute
an insurmountable obstacle to such
participation.
General Carranza, 1t was emphati-
cally declared, does not entertain the
thought of yielding on this point. nor
do his representatives here believe it
proba BILE that the mediators will con-
sent to receive his delegates without
the acceptance. The opinion was ex-
pressed that activities at Niagara
Falls would remain suspended until
final determination had been reach
ed on the subject of Carranza's par
ticipation.
