 The adjournment found the Senate with less accomplished in five hours today than in yesterdays four hour session at which the filibuster was inaugurated. The republicans yes terday succeeding in getting ap- proved the journal of the previous days proceedings. but today the reading of the journa. was barely completed and Senator Harrison of Mississippi, at the end of the session, stood ready to present nearly a dozen amendments to the journal if necessary to continue the filibuster.
 Fiiibuster Is Scientific
 Senators on both the democratic and republican sides yesterday com- mented on the scientific way in which the democratic leaders con- ducted the filibuster.
 These senators after todays ses- sion frankly declared that more and more the wonder grew, and Senator Curtis of Kansas, the republican whip, asserted on the floor that Congress had seen no filibuster so complete since the famous Force bill was talked to death in 1891. Senator Willis of Ohio. one of the strongest republican advocates of the anti lynehing bill went even further in 8 speech late in the day and said. country discloses nothing to app Vrh ax ists in the Senate"
 The determination of the demo- crats to continue obstruction until the republicans agreed to lay aside the Dyer bill was announced on the floor and in private conversations.

 The debate gradually became cen tered on the Dyer bill with Senators New, republican, Indiana, and Willis arguing fer it's passage. Later the discussion turned to its origin with Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkan- sas, declaring he was of the opinion 1t was formulated i"by an association having white officials, but having to do with negroes and with offices in New York"
