Senate May Delay It


Meantime in the senate the president
authority bill lay dormant today while
the possibility Of filibuster by Sena-
tors LaFoll6tte, Norris and possibly
others, created the danger that it would
go by the boards. LaFollettc last night
blocked the bill so it cannot reach a
vote before late tonight or tomorrow.
The fate of the bill, turns mainly,
however, on Senator LaFollette He has
been inclined to filibuster against the
naval appropriation bill and the author
ity measure. He and one or two more
men could block the bills--but the
question today was whether they want
to take responsibility for such a move.
While congress fiddled the admins
tration had Germany's unofficial ad-
mission that she still holds the Var
rowdale men, "because of infection in
their camp This was looked upon as
a flagrant insult by some officials. 1t
threatened to complicate and hasten a
trouble officials fear is all too near.
The Austrian situation remains a
puzzle though the government permit
ted sufficient news to leak to show
that it is preparing for break and
that Ambassador Penfield is quietly
paving the way to get American con
suls and citizens out of Austria in case

LOST BILL IS FOUND"
AFTER LONG Scarce
Suspicion Is Strong That Ii
Has Been OF On a
Little Visit

Yes, Hortense, the missing bridge bill
has been found.
No, it really was not lost--it was
merely out of sight.
So there YOU are.
And now what?
Why it's up to Governor Witty
eombe.
Apparently the much-sought after and
now far-famed Marion-Polk mter-coun-
ty bridge bill was resting all the time
in the office where the committee re-
vising the Journal of the house is work
ing,--that is apparently.
1t was found there yesterday after
noon about O'Clock, and gave Chief
Clerk Drager no end of relief. But the
question concerning its supposed dis
appearance will not lay. 1t is even like
unto Banquo's ghost.
That efficient and exhaustive search
was made of the premises and of the
very box in which it was found there
is no doubt That it was surrcptitously
sneaked away, and that that it was sur
reptitiously sneaked back again is be
lieved certain.
Probably no one ever will know
where it was, or why that particular bill
should disappear.
This afternoon the bill is being en-
rolled and will be sent at once to
Speaker Stanficld for his signature.
Just where Stanfield is was not ascer-
tanned today as he probably was away
from home attending to business inter
ests. There was probability that he is
