ACT
ON SENATE Bills

Senator Desha's two bills, relating
to members of the legislature holding
county offices, were reported back
today by the judiciary committee with
the recommendation that they be
tabled.
The committee found that so far as
appointment or election of Legislators
to county offices is concerned there
has been no abuse" of the present
law.
The Desha bills also included such
persons as are employed by county
government, and here the committee
thought the bill clearly goes too far.
Senate Bill ~ was entitled AN act
to disqualify members of the legisla-
ture from holding os-ice and being
employed by the several county gov
ernments.a Senate Bill 20 was the
converse Of It.
/ The committee recommended the
adoption OF Senator Conveys bill re
garding an electric plant franchise on
Kauai. recommending that ii be made
to include the public utilities commits
sion as authorizing rather than the
superintendent of public works. A
few other minor changes we're also
suggested.
Report was made in favor of Sena-
tor Pacheco's r'statehood for Hawaii
resolution.

Plan to Kill
FiIibusterin9
Democratic and Republican
Caucuses Adopt "cloture"
to Limit Debate

(ASsociated Press by Federal xirelesslf
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March IT,
Direct result of the recent senate fill
buster" and the criticism of the small
minority of II senators who defeated
the will of the majority came today.
The Democratic caucus approved a
rule whereby on a two-thirds vote the
senate can close a debate.
The president today conferred In the
White House with Senators Owen,
Reed, Walsh, Swanson, James and
Hoke Smith of the caucus committee,
Secretary of State Lansing and SecTe-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo were
also present. The senators then hur-
ried to the capitol and conferred with
Republican leaders to lay before them
the plan for modified "cloture" or
closing of senate debate.
The president told the senators that
he is anxious for prompt action, that
theiconntry is aroused over the situa-
tion and that few senators should
not be allowed to interfere with the
welfare OF the country.
The Democratic and Republican
cloture committee agreed in a confer
ence to recommend that the party
caucuses change the rule so that a
two-thirds vote could close debate and
dilatory tactics be prevented.
The Republican caucus later In.
dorsed the adoption Of the new cloture
rule. Little opposition Is expected in
either party.

STATE LEGISLATURES FLAY
FlLlBUSTERING SENATORS

tAssociated Press bv F4asrs; wirsless1
WASHINGTON. d. c.. March Z. -
The feeling against the fiiibuster
which defeated the armed neutrality
measure at the last session OF Con-
gress is apparently growing stronger.
A number of state legislatures, now
in session. have adopted resolutions
bitterly attacking the action of the IL
senators under the leadership of Sem
ator La Toilette. Colorado yesterday
went on official record as being OPP
posed to the attitude of the senator's
in the filibuster and the legislature
adopted resolution which had been
amended to make 1t more scathing
than when first introduced. The Ok
lahoma legislature also adopted res
olution which denounced the action of
the filibustering senators.

What Has Gone Before.

The Secret Seven, a band of wealthy and
brainy criminals, headed by mysterious
individual known as The Great Master,
are plotting to wrest from Beverly Clarke,
beautiful girl the vast fortune which
has been left to her by Ter uncle, who
was member Of The Secret Seven. Will
liam Montgomery Strong, young club
man. enters into the life Of Beverly, who
lives IN moderate circumstances with her
invalid mother, when he rescues her from
kidnappers sent out by The Secret Seven.
Strong at first mistakes the motives of the
girl when, in fleeing from hirelngs of The
Secret Seven. she is found in clothes
closet in his apartment and he is compro-
missed in the eyes of his fancee Eunice
Morton. Afterward he realizes that she
is an innocent girl, a victim of a vile plot
and he becomes her champion. She is seiz-
ed by the Gdngstcrs and carried to their
rendezvous. Strong goes there in disguise,
puts up terrific battle with the thugs,
and his life is saved only By the timely
appearance Of the police. Agents Of The
Secret Seven get Beverly out Of tho den
by means Of a disappearing room and
take her 10 a house in which lives Git Sin.
