TURNS DOWN OFFER.
Cornell Refuses $4,000 to Meet
Syracuse.

Syracuse, N. Y, Dec U-Syracnss
University athletic authorities have Of
fered Cornell $4,000 If the Ithacans will
come to Syracuse next fall to play Bni
Hollenback's Orange team. The offer was
wired by Graduate Manager Walter 8.
Smith. Of the athletic governing board
Graduate Manager Kent, of Cornell,
wired back that the Cornell schedule
for 1917 was complete, and so It would
be impossible to consider the offer.
Football relations between Cornell and
Syracuse have been strained since 1900,
when the last game was played, Cornell
winning by the score OF 8 to o.
Athletic authorities here are confident
that a Cornell football game would draw
a crowd OF least 5000, the capacity Of
the stadium, should such q game be
arranged.

CONGRESS ADJ0URNs
Body Has Made History in Num-
Der Of Important Bills
Passed.

Washington, D. C. Sept. s.
Congress adjourned this morning
after a session lasting for nine
months and two days and will not
reassemble till December 4, UNI
less some great emergency causes
the President to call it for an
earlier date. In the Senate and
the House the concluding session
was brief and was devoted to bits
of legislation and routine business
that had been left over from yes
terday's protracted sittings.
President Wilson went to the
Capitol to sign eleventh-hour
measures and left Washington at
| o'clock, not to return until 'af-
ter the presidential election in
November. Most Senators and
Representatives also left town for
their homes.
In a formal statement, Presi-
dent Wilson, speaking of the work
of Congress, gave notice that the
remainder of the railroad program
would be pressed at the new ses-
sion.
The closing hours of Congress
were remarkably quiet. Only the
presence of the President in his
room near the Senate chamber
served to attract interest to what
would have otherwise have been
an uneventful ending of an event
full Congress.
Speaker Champ Clark, Repre-
sentative James R. Mann, the Re-
publican floor leader, and Repre-
sentative John j. Fitzgerald Of
New York, exchanged congratu-
lations that the session had ended
and INDUCED in nonpartisan
praise of one another and the
House membership. Mr.. Fitzger-
aid went so far as to express the
hope that Mr.. Mann, though a Re-
publican, will be returned to Con-
gress, because of his usefulness
to the country.'
Mr.. Mann paid tribute particu-
]arly to the Speaker and "Uncle
joe Cannon.
Following the adjournment,
Representative Claude Kitchin,
the Democratic floor leader, is
sued the following statement
1--WE have put through more
constructive legislation than any
other session of congress. 1t has
been accomplished with good feel
ing all the way around. There
have been less bitterness and less
filibustering than in any other
session that l recall. We have had
united action on the Democratic
side, although our margin was less
than heretofore. -
