65TH CONGRESS CLOSED TODAY
STUPENDOUs WAS WORK DONE
IN SESSION ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY; CARRIED NATION
THROUGH WORLDS GREATEST WAR; 1T APPROPRIATED APP
FORTUNATELY SIXTY BILLION DOLLARS CONGRESS is
HEIR TO MANY GRAVE AND UNSETTLED QUESTIONS

Washington, Mar. 4.-The Sixty
fifth congress passed into history to-
day with final taps OF the gavel by
Vice-P President Marshall and Speaker
Clark at noon.
Unusual scenes of confusion in the
final rush to complete it's work accom-
panied the closing hours of rongress,
in which President Wilson, just bacl,
from France, In his room off the sen
ate chamber, hastily signed many last
moment measures.
Stupendous was the record of the
Congress, which carried the nation in
to and through the war and which had
been in almost continuous session
since it was called by President Will
son into extraordinary session April
2, 1917, to declare war against Ger
many. 1t appropriated about $60,000,-
100000, authorized $25,000.000,000 n
bonds, and enacted countless measures
for prosecuting the war and of domes-
tic import. The new congress will
take up the limtless task of recon
struction problems, ratification of the
peace treaty and other vital questions,
probably Immediately after the return
of President Wilson from his second
visit to France.
Special features of the Sixty-ffth
congress were many addresses by
President Wilson, including those rec
ommending war with Germany and
Austria, that of Jan. 8, 1917, enunciat-
ing his famous fourteen principles of
peace, and those endorsing woman suf-
frage, and announcing the arnlistice
terms imposed upon Germany last No
vember.
There were three sessions Of the
congress. The first, extra session,
met April 2, 1917, following shortly
after the turbulent and successful
senate filibuster on the administration
armed ship bill which marked the
close of the Sixty-foulth congress.
The dramatic night address of Presi-
dent Wilson to urge war with Ger
many, which was promptly declared,
marked the opening of the extra ses-
sion, called but few weeks after the
presidents Inauguration for a second
term. The session closed October 6,
1917, lasting 1873 days. The second
session-lasting 354 days and the
longest in the history of the American
government-began Dec. 3, 1917, and
adjourned November 81 last. The
third and final session which ended to-
day began Dec. 2 last, and was the
statutory short session of SO days.
Substantial democratic majorities in
both senate and house since President

Thursday night, March 6, a concert

politan company in the High School
auditorium. Axel Skovgaard, the Dan
ish violinist, will be the major NUMBER
and he, with five others, will make the
program worth while
This is Shovgaard's first tour OF
America and the high school has beep
very fortunate in securing him
A large per cent of the proceeds will
go to the high school, therefore all the
patrons should be interested, eveFg
though the program holds no attrae%
ton for them.
The people on this program have
been received widely by the countries
in Europe and also in America; there
fore if we hesitate as to the quality
of the program, consider this fact.
Some of the other numbers are
Alice McClung; Skovgaard, the piaR-

EXTRAORDINARY
BIG SHOW At
ROYAL TONIGHT
Benefit of st. Margaret's Guild; Read

Only Ten and Twenty Cents
MISS COACHMAN WILL SING
READING BY MISS {. MOORE

Tonight is your opportunity. At the
Royal theatre for the benefit of St.
Margaret's guild. Tickets are only
ten and twenty cents, as usual.
Besides song by Miss Coachman
and a reading by Miss Ernestine
Moore, there will be one of the best
pictures ever shown here. The noted
movie star, Miss Bessie Love, in 'The
Dawn of Understanding" This play is
taken from the celebrated story, "The
Judgment of Balina's Plain" 1t is a
beautiful love story and will not fail
to please all who possess natural hui
man emotions.
But the comedy, "Who's Your Faith
err" is an unusual one. We were told
by party who had seen it in Tampa
that they laughed until their sides
ached. One of the scenes shows a Ford
car in which two rascals are making
their getaway. They are crossing a
piece of water so deep the car is float
ing when they have punctured tire,
which, of course, necessitates their
getting out and patching it up. That
is only one of the laughable features.
There are a fine lot of educational
pictures, or, we should say, news pic
lures put out by Gaumont, showing
SCENES in Holland near whore the kai-
ser is now staying; intact, they are
called "The Kaiser's Neighbors." Also
the wild welcome of Brooklyn's fight
ing Thirteenth; memorials to dead he
roes, and many others.

Washington, March 4.-Republicans
in the senate today continued their fill
ibuster which lasted throughout the
night. In the house Chairman Flood
of the foreign affairs committee final
~ succeeded in bringing up a resolu-
ton requesting the American peace
delegates to urge the freedom of Ire
land. Crowded galleries followed the
proceedings of both houses until after
midnight and hundreds of spectators
were in the seats this morning.
The general deficiency bill was the
measure against which the filibuster
was aimed, but republican leaders adj
mitted that it would be passed finally,
as their purpose was to prevent action
on other legislation. Senator LaFol-
lette spoke several hours, beginning at
one o'clock.
The all-night session of the house
was enlivened by hot exchange be-
tween Flood of Virginia and Walsh of
Massachusetts, which threatened to
lead to a personal encounter. Flood
interrupted Walsh while the latter
was reading report an the investi-
cation of the national security league,
Flood making a point of order that
Walsh had depressed from the report
to make a speech. Walsh retorted
that if Flood said he was making a
speech he told what was false. Flood
rushed across the chamber, but was
stopped by the doorkeeper and several
members. After order was restored,
Walsh apologized.

Washington, Mar, 4.-Congress adj
journed at noon in the midst of the re-
publican filibuster in the senate which
killed long list of important meas
ures. Among the bills that failed to
pass before adjournment was the one
appropriating seven hundred and fifty
million dollars for the railroad admin
istration, without which, some of the
administration leaders say, the rail-
roads must be returned to their own
ers before the middle of April.
Just before adjournment the presi-
dent authorized a final notice to the
republicans that their efforts to force
an immediate extra session had failed,
and that he was mistaken in his deter
mination not to call a session of con-
gress until his work was done at the
peace conference.

Partisan politics, although it caused
the mandate for change from demo-
cratic to republican control of con-
gress, was largely buried during the
war period, war measures being has
tily rushed through with big bi-parti-
san majorities. Many acute contro-
versies, however, marked the congress.
Among them were the 1917-1918 ques-
ton of war efficiency, developed from
an investigation of the senate militia
ny committee and reaching a climax
in the dispute between President Will
son and Senator Chamberlain of Ore
gon, chairman of the committee. 9th
ers involved the league of nations, the
Overman bill comforting unlimited au-
thority on the president to reorganize
government departments, government
control Of railroads and the food con-
troll act.
During the first session of the con-
gress, devoted largely to prosecution
of the war, among the important
measures passed were:

the chief accomplishment in addition
to completion of waterpower, oil, gas
and coal land development legislation,
authorization of seven billion dollars
in short term notes, and the huge APP
preparation bills.
Woman suffrage also was q much
debated topic, but was defeated in the
senate last month SIS to %, lacking the
necessary two thirds by margin of one
vote, after the resolution proposing
submission of an equal suffrage
amendment to the constitution had
been adopted by the house on Jan. 10,
1917, by a vote of 274 to 1876. The
campaign for its adoption will be re-
newed in the new congress.
Investigations by both senate and
house committees were numerous
throughout the three sessions. Among
these were the inquiry into disloyalty
charges against Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin, which recently ended in
vote of dismissal of the charges. Other
important inquiries, in addition to the
senate military committees general
army investigation, were those into
radical pro-German and brewers
propaganda, activities of the National
Security league, regulation of the
meat industry; the railroad question,
into coal and sugar condition; the
Ford-Newberry senatorial election
contest from Michigan, and the Hog
Island shipbuilding enterprise.

nominations. 1t ratified treaties for
acquisition of the Virgin islands, for
reciprocal drafting of aliens and sew

PRESIDENT SPEAKS HIS MIND
CONCERNING FILIBUSTERERS

Washington, Mar. 4.-Upon the adj
journment of congress with important
Legislation killed by the republican
senate flibuster, President Wilson is
sued statement declaring that a
GROUP of men in the senate have de-
liberately chosen to embarrass the adj
ministration of the government so as
to imperil the financial interest of the
railway systems of the country.
financial proposition the affair was a
success and all seemed to be pleased.
Other concerts may be arranged later
but nothing definite has been done
along this line.
A vote of thanks was rendered John
Parkin Wood for set of quoits which
he presented the Tourist club. Words
of high appreciation were said fol-
Knight & Wall, hardware merchants
of Tampa, who, through the efforts of
C. c. Barnum, contributed $40 to the
board of trade.
H. c. Clayton requested that his
resignation as secretary be accepted
and some one appointed to take his
place. Mr.. Clayton has served long
and well and it was considered moth
ing but right to release him as ne said
his business made it very hard for
him to attend to the duties of secrc-
tary, which every one knows is true.
The board reluctantly accepted his
resignation and expressed their appre-
citation of his services. He promised
to continue to work and attend when
ever he could. No one has yet been
appointed to succeed him. Members
are requested to think on this matter
as this is an important position should
be filled by some one who has the time
to give it. Really, the secretary should
be we'll paid forst there is endless work
for him to do.
A representative of the Automobile
Blue Book was present and the board
voted to take not less than half page
space in the Forthcoming book provid-
ed they could find means of financ-
ing it.
President Linn wanted stuffed tar
pom to adorn the Tourist building. Mil
ton Tiddy informed him there were
three big ones which had just been
caught in net and were at one of the
local fish houses, and said that one of
these could no doubt be secured for
the purpose.
i President Linn assured the board
that he believed the city council would
incorporate a tax for publicity in the
next budget thus giving the board
some finances to operate with. The fl
nances are very short at present. IN

Big Time at Big Bay

One of the most enjoyable events of the summer was the picnic at Big Bay. Zarembo island. A merry party of about 90 per sons left Wrangell on the Hazel B No. 1 at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. The first stop was made at King George creek where the passengers witnessed the lift ing of a fish trap owned by Grant X Darwell.
 From King George creek the boat steered for Big Bay where the party found everything just right for picnic. There was a nice beach with water the right depth for bathing and swimming. A fresh water stream was nearly so full of fish that the fishermen say they had to hide behind trees while batting their hooks to keep the fish from jumping from the stream and taking the bait from their fingers.
 Several campfres were built where coffee was made and 'weenies'' roasted. There were lunches enough to have fed twice the number present. The after noon was given up to a general good time. Some young people danced, others went swimming, others promenaded. And of course there had to be a little spooning in order that none of the attributes of a real picnic should be lacking.
 The voyage home was one of the most delightful imaginable, with the gay party singing mer- rily all the way. Just before ar irving in port all joined in sing ing The End of a Perfect Day.

Frame Launches Into Literature

John W. Frame, the well known publisher and pioneer, is arrang- ing for the publication of a monthly magazine to be devoted to the welfare and up-building of the Pioneers of Alaska as an or ganization. Mir. Frame states that it is his purpose as Grand Historian of the Order to gather from the newspapers of the ter ritory all the early and current history possible. The new publi- cation will be called "The Alaska Argonaut,' a most appropriate title.
 Mr. Frame, the editor and pub fisher of the proposed publication is one of the best posted men in the Order to handle the history of the men who developed Alaska and will undoubtedly make a suc- cess of the venture.
 The Pioneers of the Territory are fast joining the great majori- ty, and much valuable history is going with them which should be preserved for future generations. It's compilation is duty to the future generations. Clean.

The wife of certain doctor had advertised for a girl to do the house. work, and was showing an applicant over the house. She had been very liberal in her promises of privileges, and it looked as though the two were about to come to an agreement, when the girl suddenly asked:
 Do you do your own stretchin?'
 Do we do our own what?" asked the puzzled mistress.
 "Stretchin'," ;" repeated the girl, solemnly. Do you put all the food on the table at dinner and stretch for it, or do l have to shuffle it round?'
