oyERMAN REPORTED
LEADING FILlBUSTER
40 Senator VIII Be Shut Off
from Stating View on Any
Measure by New Rule.
rr,nn IN. rrbuns Bureau.l

Wellington, Dec. "A flibuster
rs, elO,ure seemed to be proceed
IS in The Democratic caucus to-day, If
~. length Of the speeches by Demo-
-..c Senator's were an indication.
about 6 o'clock, after having talked
.,,nost without interruption all day,
,hs caucus adjourned until tomorrow
,,or,ing. with the admission that moth
INC tangible had been accomplished,
Int @of course tomorrow II will be all
enlightened out"
II WAS rather definitely settled that
m cloture rule should be adopted
which would make it impossible for any
Senator. at any time, to state his views
on any bill pending. A speech made
under such circumstances, after the
eloture rule had been applied. must,
the Senators reasoned, be extremely
brief. and therefore must not consume
more than an hour. So that the
cloture measure now pending would
work out in this fashion:
A Senator would rise and declare his
opinion that q flibuster against tho
pending bill was in progress. Without
further discussion vote would be had
on that point. Should the objecting
Senator'S view be sustained, the next
thing would be to fix date for a vote.
This could be any time after two days.
But-and here to-day's amendment
comes in-no matter what agreement
might be reached as TO the time for
the vote. any Senator so desiring would
have the right to talk for one hour, so
hat it would be possible for a ninety
TX hour debate to follow the applica-
on Of cloture to any pending measure.
Il was pointed out, however, that
ince it was probable that as a ma
iority of the Senators having voted
that a filibuster was in progress, would
not wish TO talk further themselves,
fewer than half the Senator'S would
desire to make hour speeches. lt was
also pointed out by friends Of the plan
that the knowledge that their talk only
postponed the vote for a short time
would have a tendency to restrain Sen
ators from indulging in any except an
honest desire to present their argu-
ments on the measure.
The caucus will have only a short
time in which 10 discuss cloture to-
morrow morning before the unfinished
business" is reached, which is the cleo
ton of a president pro tenn. Alto,
gether, the prospects for cloture DO not
seem bright enough to warrant en-
thusiasm, especially as there was. a
fight to-day, led by Senator
Overman. of North Carolina. against
the caucus binding all members of the
Democratic party in the Senate. on the
cloture question. Without such bind
ing action it will be difficult for the
Democrats to force through any par
ticular form of cloture.

UNDERWOOD GETS GOOD POST
Democrats Will Place New Senator On
Finance Committee.
Iron Tho Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Dec, Facing all sorts
or revenue and taxation tangles, in
which none is more expert than Sena-
tor Oscar ". Underwood, ex-chairman
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, the Democrats Of the Senate
have virtually decided TO omit all eff
forts to make the new Senator feel
his unimportance, and put him on the
Finance Committee.
At the Democratic caucus to-day this
proposition was Endorsed but no vacant
place appeared on the committee. and
no Democrat volunteered to get off.
AS result the steering committee
was instructed to use its own judg-
ment about increasing the committee,
so as to make a place for the Ala
bamian. vt is worthy of note that
when Elihu Root entered the Senate,
although he had filled two Cabinet
Offices he was ragged" numerically.

Split Imperils Senator's
Chances for President
Pro Tempore.
STRUGGLE MAY LAST
THROUGH THE WEEK
Clerk May Have to Administer
Oaths to Newly Elected Men
with Marshall Away.
From The Trbuns Bureau

Washington, Dec. with the two
camps so nearly equal tha. II was said
tonight that the detection Of two
Clarke Senators to Senator Pomerene
would insure the election of the lat
ter, the fight in the Democratic CAUCUS
over the election Of president pro
tenn, one Of the emptiest honors In
Washington, has grown SO bitter that
the administration may be appealed
to directly to do something to smooth
away the trouble.
Had the administration taken stand
against Clarke. who fouted President
Wilson through most of last session,
and finally led the break Of the seven
Democrats that beat the ship purchase
bill, there would now be no doubt OF
the result. Mr.. Clarke would be buried
by something like 40 TO 16. But the
administration, or at least men who
were believed by Senators to be speak
ing for IL, discouraged the fight from
the beginning, notwithstanding which
the contest has grown so strong as &C
tually to imperil Senator Clarke's
chances.
Opponents of the Arkansan are hop
ing to drag out the fight for few
more days, if possible, until after the
converting Of Congress. They hope
that the present test Of Senator
Clarke's good behavior" will be unable
to endure the strain, and that in a
day or so he will anger some OF his
supporters and drive them to the Pom
creme banner. Never before in his
Congressional career has the Arkansas
Senator been so suave TO his fellows,
and his opponents, while somewhat
startled by this unexpected quality are
confidently predicting that IT cannot
last.
Should the Democrats fail TO agree
on a president pro TEN. before the con-
vening of the Senate, curious sltua-
ton will arise, due TO the fact that
Vice-President Marshall is detained III
the West by the illhealth of his wlie'
and is not expected TO be here on tne
opening day. Mr.. Clarke. cannot hoid
ever as president pro TEN, since ne Is
not a qualified Senator He was reject
ed last fall and must be sworn IN pc
fore he can preside over the senate
His credentials must also be presented.
According to one Senator tonight, 1t
may be possible that the clerk OF the
senate will administer the oaths to the
thirty-two Senators just elected, where,
upon the first business in order will
he the election of a president pro tenn
Bv making a fight on the open floor
then. il is said, Mr.. Clarke might with
the assistance of several Republican
votes, be elected without the votes OF
any of his present opponents.
