CONGRESS ADJ0URNS
next THURSDAY
Inability to Prepare Revenue Bill for
This Session Hastens Action-Re-
cOnvenes December :.
EXTRA SESSION LOOKED FeR
No Time In Which to C0nsider Arpro-
priation Bills for Passage Before
Final Adjournment On March 4.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The pres-
cnt session Of congress will Ad-
tOurn sine die neat Thursday, nc
cOrdlng to nm agreement reached
by leaders of parties in the two
houses today. The second session
will be convened December 2 and
will expire autom aticalIy ON
March 4.
The plans for adjournment were
made definite by the announcement
from Senator Simmons. chairman OF
the finance committee. that it would be
impossible for the committee to pre-
pare their revenue bill for this ses-
sion. The recent decision to cut the
bill down to $6.oo0.0o0.oo0 makes 1t
necessary for the committee to revise
q great many of the rates. This work
cannot be done. Senator simmons said,
before December 2. The committee viii
continue in session during the recess
with the hope of presenting the bill
when the second session convenes,
The postponement of the passage OF
the revenue bill Is regarded by leaders
as sure indication that an extra
session of the new congress will be
necessary. During the short session
from December 2 to March 4, all of
the appropriation bills must be passed.
None of the committees. which will
prepare these bills has begun work on
them.
With the revenue bill crowded upon
the short session in addition to the
regular supply bills. ii is almost GER
tain that neither house will be able
to do all the work, and some OF the
appropriation measures probably win
fail of passage and will have to be
considered at an extra session.

Gentry, eleventh hour "sticker" can
didate for mayor on a law enforce

majority over Mayor William Swain,

Gentry was groomed for the race by
contingent of Pullman voters who
contend that the dry laws have not
been as strictly enforced as they
should have been and claim that
Bookkeeping has been going on with
little effort to put a stop to the il
legal traffic. Monday afternoon it
was decided to run a candidate
pledged to strict enforcement of the
liquor laws and other laws of
