Group Deliberately Has Chosen to
Embarass Administration,
Says Wilson
LONG LIST OF IMPORT ACTS
DIES WITH NOTED WAR SESSION
Army and Navy Appropriation Meas
uTes Perish---No Extra
Session Soon

WASHINGTON, March 4-(By Asso-
ciated Press .)-Congress adjourned at
noon today in the midst of a repubi-
can filibuster in the senate that killed
long list of important measures.
Among these was appropriating three
quarters of billion dollars Tor the
Railroad Administration, without
which, some administration leaders
say, the roads must be returned to
their owners before the middle of
April.
Upon adjournment, with to much i'm
portanat legislation killed by the re-
publicans, President Wilson issued a
statement, declaring that 'group cf
men in the senate have dellberatel..'
chosen to embarrass the administra-
ten of the government and to imperil
the financial interests of the railway
systems of the country"
President Wilson remained at his
capitol Office twenty minutes after ad-
journment, geeting visitors. 1t was
announced he would make recess ap-
pointments at Hoboken tonight of
nominees who failed Of confirmation.
There was no turning back of the
hands of the clocks. Democratic lead
ers realized the situation was hope
less, and the gavels ending the great
war session of the Sixty fifth Congress
actually tapped at noon.
Just before adjournment the r
dent authorized a final notice to the
republicans that he would not call an
extra session of congress until his
work at the peace conference is done.
Other big bills that failed, includ-
ed both the army and navy appropria-
tion measures.
The adjournment marked the pa
ing of democratic control at the capi-
tol. Crowded galleries followed and
witnessed the last work of congress.
In the early morning hours scarcely
half dozen senator's were at their
desks and others in the cloak and COM
mittee rooms were sleeping. In the
house a recess of two hours was taken
at o'clock, out of respect to Repre-
sentative Helm, of Kentucky, who died
Sunday.
Senator Sherman started his speech
in the Senate filibuster about Z o'clock
and kept talking throughout the morn
ing.

today, asking for further details and

votes should be saved and given to
some one. This is your campaign
and drive that progressive people
are interested in, for the making of a
better newspaper is the making of a

lates.
