STAMPEDE FOR VOTES
Congress Ready to Throw Work Aside
and Hit fer Cross Roads.

Washington, July I'm its eager
ness to recess for a six weeks vaca-
ton, congress is determined TO ditch all
pending public business.
II will leave behind the water power
legislation needed to supplement- rail-
road transportation, the resolution en-
towering the president to take over
telegraph and telephone lines, and the
agricultural appropriation bill and the
emergency food act designed to slim
ulate food production; the woman suf-
rerage and war time prohibition ques-
tons, the appropriation bill for the
District of Columbia, and many other
measures.
The excuse given by those most ar
IDENTIFY advocating a recess is that the
peoples views on the new war tax bill
should be obtained The only thing,
apparently, which will prevent a re-
cess is word from President Wilson
that the telegraph empowering resolu-
ton must be passed before congress
leaves.
Unless the president speaks, con-
gress will probably go away from
Washington Friday, Saturday or Non
day and not return until August 10.

sky, the former Russian premier, to-
day told the Associated Press that be-
tween November. 1917. when his gov
eminent fell, and May, 1913, he was
in hiding in various cities Of central
Russia. At first he was in Petrograd
and later in Moscow. and did not
leave Moscow until May %. The Rus
sian leader said that at all times he
was in contact with political leaders
of the parties opposed to the Bolshe-
Wiki regime. Surprise was expressed
that a man so well known as Keren-
sky with a price on his head could
remain in the largest cities plotting
against the Bolsheviki without being
arrested It was suggested that the
police system in Russia must be very
poor.
Russian Police Always Poor.
"The police system in Russia is al
ways very poor" herensky replied.
He refused to say how he left Russia,
as he might incriminate friends who
had aided him
Kerensky presents the appearance
of a man who has been long bounded
and is in fear of his life. He is very
nervous and looks about quickly
