In the pit near the stage. A few were
stringing electric wires from the street

thereon went along.
The other three walls held. They
didn't even bend or sway. But the

was convicted of killing a paymaster

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
topishing statement that one reason why

SENATORS VETO
PROPOSED RECESS
LEGISLATION is NECESSARY AND
SENATORS DECIDE ON NO
VACATION.

Washington Climaxing the most
vigorous insurgent uprising Of the
present session, the Senate fatty re
jected the recess program proposed
by its leaders and voted to remain on
the job throughout the summer and
fall, If necessary, to enact legislation
clamoring for attention.
Senator Lodge, Republican 1eauer,
with the support of Senator Under
wood, Democratic leader, offered
resolution to recess from July to
August to give senators a rest be-
fore taking off the tax and tariff
bills.
There was rapid bipartisan ANAL
gamation OF the various groups and
interests as a result of the proposed
vacation. Standing out conspicuous
" in the amalgaraation was the so
called agricultural bloc, a group Of
Western and Southern members. who
will contend that the federal govern
ment is not adequately aiding the far
mer.
After nearly three hours of debate,
the recess resolution was defeated. q

shattered in the roll call
Among the measures chiefly. respon-
sible for the resolution to stay at
work were the anti-beer bill. the sol
diers' bonus, the Sweet bill Tor con-

tai agencies dealing with ex-serVice
men and various bills designed to ex-
tend further relief to the farmers
Senator Lodge said that the next
month would furnish the only oppor-
Iunity for the Senate to ta.e noli-
day, but other senators declared that
If Congress quit work now for month
1t would be a physical inpossibility
to pass the pending measures before
the tax and tariff bills were ready.
Senator Kenyon Of Iowa urged that
the Senate remain on the job and
pass measures necessary to meet the.
agricultural situation which he char
acterized as most distressing and
depressing.
1T is a fearful indictment of ciyili-
cation that people are starving in Eu-
rope and China while our farmers
are becoming bankrupt because they
cannot dispose Of the things that
would keep these people from starv-
ing" said Senator kenyon .'If mem-
bers of Congress could get out among
