COMMONS
ROWS ALL
NIGHT
British House Finally Adjourns
After Stormy Session on
Air Force Bill.
By L.uEHER A. HISTON.
Inferr, flnu.al NeRa service..

LONDON, April 13.A fill
buster by the laborites kept the
House of Commons in session all
night and at 10 o'clock this morn
ing labor members were still max
ing speeches on the army air
force bill to q sleepy, bedraggled
group Of members.
Finally Adjourn at 1855.
Adjournment was finally taken at
1856 O'Clock, nearly an hour after
the formal Friday session was to
begin. Fresh government members
who had obtained few hours
sleep arrived and it was decided to
hold today's session. Although they
had been engaged in debate for
more than twelve hours many
laborites remained in their seats to
prevent the government from ef-
fecting a parliamentary coup.
Debate on the army air force bill
was begun after the Tory govern
ment of Premier A. Bonar Law OBJ
tanned its vote of confidence by
majority of more than 100 votes.
The laborites, led by Ramsay
Macdonald, laborite and official
leader of the opposition on the
floor, jumped gleefully into the
fray. Their obstructionist tactics
were confined to oratory. They ala
not attempt any rough mouse
display such as caused suspension
of the session on Wednesday.
Many loquacious remarks were
directed by the laborite speakers
against the occupants of the gov
eminent benches who grew Vlslply
sleepy as the night wore on.
Lengthy speeches were made and
numerous amendments to the bill
were proposed. One member sug-
eested an amendment abolishing
capital punishment in the army.
Amendment Voted Down.
The Government whips" were
on the alert and sufficient num-
Der of Government supporters were
kept in their seats to vote down
the laborite amendments as quick
~ as they were advanced.
During the lull in debate, while
voting Wass in progress, the labor.
ties enlivened the occasion with
song. but they did not offer any
Revolutionary music. Their favor.
ite was John Browns Body"
The session grew into a test of
strength between the government
and the opposition. but a majority
OF the government supporters held
on and the laborites were unable
TO tire them out.
Shortly after 9 o'clock this morn
ing Home Secretary w. G. Bridge
man appealed for an adjournment
in order to enable the regular Fri
day session to open at II o'clock.
He pointed out that unless Com
mons adjourned before II o'clock,
Fridays official session could not
be held
"Oh, that is all right" shouted
the laborites, and they continued
with their speechmaking.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
MAVERICK"

USED on the Western plains
as n term for unbranded or
ownerless cattle. the term NAV.
ertck" owes It's birth to n man
named Sam Maverick, n native
81 Massachusetts, who settled In
Texas IN the middle Of the last
century and entered the buSl-
uess VI stock-ral.lng.
Because he believed In the
honesty OF his nelghbors and
also because. OF humanitarian
grounds, he did not approve Of
branding his cattle with N red
hot Iron, the calves born on the
Maverick ranch we're allowed
To run Wild aud unbranded. A.
result, the less honest cattle
men would add these animals
to their wi herds. placing their
distinguishing mark upon tie
nank IN the approved manner.
In time the expression became
current "UnbrnndedI II must
belong TO Maverick" and the
term spread throughout the cut.
tie country. gradually extending
it, meaning until II was used to
signify anyone who refused 10
recognize u master. u man who
was broad In his views aud owed
allegiance 10 no one.
Impoverished by the lack OF
care Of his cattle. Maverick died
a number OF years ago-but his
name usually appears AZ leas,
once In every Western story
which has any claims to atmos
phere.
