THE SENATE FINALLY
PASSES LOAN BILL
MEASURE PUT THROUGH THE
SENATE AFTER. AN ALL
NIGHT SESSION.
THEY FAILED TO MAKE CHANGE
Final Action by House on Wheat Price
Guarantee-HaIt Extra Session
Important Bills Doomed-No
Chance for Suffrage.

Washington, d. C.-The sixty-first
congress entered Monday upon its
last full working day facing an I'M
precedented mass of legislation, but
with the contested Victory loan" out
of the way Both senate and house
worked steadily until sine die ad-
journment at noon Tuesday
The senate remained in session all
Saturday night to pass the loan bill,
the keystone measure of the calen-
dar, adjourning shortly before Z Sun
day morning. while the house held a
business session, disposing of the con-
ference report on the hospital bill.
The senate also held a brief session
but business went over until Monday.
Passage of the loan bill without a
record vote and in the identical form
in which it came from the house def
initely marked the course of future
legislation and gave assurance that
President Wilson would not find it
necessary to change his plan of call
ing the new congress after his return
from France. probably in June. Most
republicans favored an earlier extra
session, but after republican senators
failed to reach any decision as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of Obstructing the loan
bill, no filibuster was undertaken
Important Bills Doomed.
Although many important bills, in
Guiding the $72O,0OO,OOO navy appro-
priation measure, with its authorize
ton of new three-year building pro-
gram an dthe $1,215,000 army bill, ap-
parently are doomed, administration
leaders believe that none is of suf-
ficient Importance to require an ear
lier call of congress.
Final action by the house on the
@1,000, 100000 wheat price guarantee
bill is expected, with the measure
then ready for the presidents sig
nature. Another important bill now
regarded as certain of enactment is
the general deficiency appropriation
measure, carrying $750,000,000 addi-
tional for the railroad administration.
OF other important bills remaining,
leaders planned to pass the diplomat
ic, hospital construction and military
academy appropriation measures and
that repeating the war tax on semi
luxuries
Besides the army and navy bills,
legislation which seemed certain to
fail included the $S5O,OOO,OOO sundry
civil bill, which contains $66O,OOO,OOO
for the shipping board, and the oil
and mineral land leasing and water
power development measures. Dis
position of the agricultural appropria-
ton bill, containing the senate COM
mittee rider proposing repeal of the
daylight saving law and many other
measures still was regarded in doubt.
No Chance. for Suffrage.
Suffrage leaders admit that there
is no possibility of congress acting
upon the compromise equal franchise
constitutional amendment resolution
at this session.
