CONGRESS MAY BE
ADJOURNED on 5TH

Tentative Agreement on Final Ad.
iournmcnt Saturday Reached by Re.
publicans. Many Members OF Both
Houses Favor Recess.
Washington, May 31.-Republican.
leaders of the house and senate to-
day agreed tentatively on final adj
journment OF congress Saturday.
Many members Of both the senat G
and house, however, have indicated
that they prefer a recess for the po-
litical conventions and this may cause
change in the plans as tentatively
agreed on.
The agreement reached by leaders
today contemplated the calling up by
Representative Mondell, Of Wyoming,
Republican leader, in the house to-
morrow Of his resolution proposing
final adjournment at D. m. Saturday.
Final decision as between a recess
or an adjournment it was said, might
hang fire until the last moment. In a
conference with the senate leaders to-
day, however Representative Mondcl
is understood to have been advised 10
go ahead with his adjournment rcsolu-
ton under the assumption that il
probably would be found satisfactory
to the senate majority.
Only the Armenian mandate resolu-
ton and conference reports are on tho
list OF important measures slated for
passage before congress quits and it IS
likely that after the senate has voted
on Armenia tomorrow it will spend
its time on various bills Of minor o.,
special character while the house con
sidcrs the Armenian resolution. This
process can be fastened at the will
OF house leaders under the SUSPENSION
OF rules plan limiting debate and
amendments, adopted last week.
In order to speed up its procedure,
the senate today agreed to begin its
session tomorrow at ten o'clock, two
hours earlier than the usual meeting
time, and various committee chairmen
were told to hasten their work in or
der to clean up loose ends OF lcgisla-
ton.

U. S. MAY HANDLE SUGAR IN
WAR ON Ex0RBITANT PRICES

Important action by the govern
ment effecting both the supply and
price of sugar is expected to follow
an important conference tegun in the
Offices of Howard E. Figg, special
assistant to Attorney General Palmer
in the Department of Justice. In at
tendance on the conference were sew
eral United States district attorneys
and other government agents who for
some time have been investigating
sugar supplies and prices in their ter
ritory. No information concerning the
conference was given ont in advance,
but it was stated that an announce
ment was expected at its conclusion.
Among the solutions of the sugar
problem understood to be up for con-
sideration were steps to prevent sugar
boarding, high prices and sugges-
ton that the government itself take
over and handle all sugar. 1t has
been the contention of government
officials for some time that there was
an adequate supply of sugar in the
country and little excuse Cor sugar
shortages and present prices.
