CONGRESS WILL COME
TO END SATURDAY
Republicans and Democrats A,
gree on Promise of No
Extra Session.

Washington, June 3.--The resolu-
tion to end the present session OF
Congress Saturday already approved
by the House was adopted in the
Senate today after Democratic Sena-
tors had given assurances that Pres
ident Wilson had no present intention
OF calling an extra session during the
summer.
Republican and Democratic leaders
joined forces in bringing the resoln-
tion 20 passage but score of Sena-
tors, 13 of the Republicans and sew
en- OF them Democrats, made a vigor-
Gus fight to attach an amendment by
which Congress would reassemble af-
ter the national political conventions.
On the final roll the vote was "A to
"a, "a Democrats and 20 Republicans
voted for'the resolution andl9 Demo-
kerats and<15 Republicans voted a.
gainst it.
The announcement that the Presi-
dent would not call an extra session
was contrary, to the expectation of
most Senators and some believe to-
night that the announcement, made
by Senator Underwood, who said he
secured his authority from Secretary
to the President Tumulty, left enough
loophole so that the President may
call Congress in special session If he
SO desired.
An amendment by Senator Kenyon
from Iowa, providing that Congress
should rerassembIe on July IL, was
voted down AZ to 20 and one by
Senator Trammel, Democrat, Florida,
to reeonvene on August 2 was lost
by the same count.

The white crosses in France, stand
ing as symbols Of BROTHERHOOD in

us from the true course?
"The appeal that rings in our
hearts must not be In vain.
Rather let US go forward cour-
ageously and with unselfish devotion
to the weI-being of our fellows as
the vital aim. reawaken the fine

Pipe Organ Recital at Baptist Church

The pipe organ recital at the First
Baptist Church Thursday evening at
tracted an overflow audience. People
began to gather in the auditorium
that will seat about twelve hundred
by $3.50 and by eight o'clock every
pew was occupied, every chair was
requisitioned, and the Hobbies were
filed with people who could not be
seated and more still were on the out
side seeking entrance.
Mr.. Kraft, Fellow Of the American
Guild of Arganists, demonstrated the
capacity of the beautiful instrument
and his own qualifications for sue
cessful organ work. His musical tenn
permanent was discerned as the pro-
kgram in its interesting variety and
arduous demands advanced and he
established himself thoroughly a.
mong the distinguished artists who
have visited Brookhaven.
The program was introduced by
the March from Tannhauser" and
closed with the Grand March from
Aida" numbers that were especially
appreciated because Of their popular
ity in Brookhaven.
OCl 16llll6h@-
Korsakoff's Song of India, Nevin's
Love Song," the Overture TO Tam
hauser, Haydn's Menuetto (from
symphony, No. III, The Magic Harp,
Meditation and other select numbers
charmed and swayed the admiring
audience who at the close longed
for nothing at all except to hear
some of the grand old hymns that
are undying and most beautiful on a
Pipe Organ. This pleasure, however,
is reserved for future services, when
Mrs. Hugh v. Wall will command the
instrument.
The church has been gratif1ed to
learn from Mr.. Kraft that in his o.
pinion, the Organ is superb instru-
ment and in excellent condition. Mr..
Kraft is eminent authority. The
pastor and congregation appreciate
the Silver Offering made by those
present, which amounted to $112.6O.
The choir loft had been beautifully
decorated for the evening with hand
some hydrangeas, pink and white,
Easter lilies and ferns which helped
to make attractive environment for
the organ and the recitalist whose
coming among us was appreciated by
the entire community.

COTTON CROP OUT
LOOK IS VERY BAD
Way Below AverageIn Fact
Is The Lowest Ever
Made.

New Orleans, La, June 3D. The
lowest estimate on the condition Of
the cotton crop ever issued by the
agricultural department was am
nounced promptly on schedule time
at 1000 a. m. Wednesday.
The department says the condition
of the crop May rs was only 62.4 per
lcent of normal. The lowest previous
estimate for May was in 1917 when
the department made the condition
69.5. In that year 11,302,000 bales
of cotton were produced and 1,120,-
1000 bales of linters.
This estimate indicated that the
South faces the shortest crop in its
history with the outcome made more
uncertain by the continuation of
rainy weather. Excessive rains are
Irresponsible for the present poor con-
dition Of the crop.
The official figure was so far un-
der. that generally looked for that a
big advance, If not a runaway mar
ket, would likely have followed if
the cotton exchanges had been open
ed for trading.
Most of the trade was looking for
the estimate to be between 66 and
81. Many even looked for 1t to be
higher. Some expected it to be as
low as 6S, but very few expected
1t to be below that figure.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
GRANTED TO FARMERS
Are Allowed to Combine Oppo.
nents Fear a New Price
Standard.

Washington.By vote of 233 tc
58, the House today passed and sent
to the Senate the bill permitting
farmers, planters, ranchmen, dairy
men or fruit growers to combine for
the collective marketing and sale OF
their own products Notwithstanding
the antitrust laws.
The measure was drafted by
Chairman Volstead of the House ju-
dietary committee, as substitute for
the 7Capper- Hersman bill and similar
measures to legalize collective bar
gaining by agricultural producers.
Debate developed sharp division of
opinion. Supporters of the bill de-
clared that it would give farmers and
other producers an opportunity to
negotiate fair price for their pro-
ducts. Opponents of the measure as
serted that it would increase the cost
OF living and that it was class legis-
lation.
Limitations included in the bill.
said by its supporters to be designed
to exclude from it's benefits all but
actual farmers, provide that the COM
binations that may be organized must
not pay more than 8 per cent divi-
dend annually ON capital stock, and
thai every member must have one
vote, irrespective Of his invested cap
itai.
Control Of the combinations or
ganized under the bill would be plac-
ed In the secretary Of agriculture,
who may, after hearing, order the
combinations to stop practices which
are held to restrain trade or lessen
competition. The secretary also
would be empowered to sue in feder-
al court for enforcement 6f his or
'ders, should the combinations refuse
to comply with them.
