er congress shall adjourn for the ses

sentative Levy (Dem., N. " moved
that the president of the senate and
the speaker of the house be author
lied by concurrent resolution to ad,
journ congress on July 10.
Levy declared that the appropria.
ton bills would be passed by July rs,
and added: 1T is useless to keep us
in session here any longer. The mem.
bers, all want to go home. 1t is in
the best interests of the people of the

The trust bills are illegal and uncon'
situtional, and the senate should be
given plenty of time to study them
and find the defects in them
Representative Underwood moved
to lay the Levy resolution on the ta-
BILE. Then he asked permission to ad-
dress the house, but when Representa-
tive Mann, Republican leader, indi-
Gated that he had something to say,
he abandoned it. There was a chorus
of ayes" in favor of Underwood's
motion, but Mann demanded record

ment. Correspondence received at
the White Houses. it is declared, re-
fleets the feeling that the bills should
be made law as quickly as possible,
in order to give business free hand.
