DURING FIL|BuSTER

Providence. r. T., June 17.-(By A.
PA disturbance in the state senate
which cast the chamber into confusion
and brought q squad Of policemen on
the run, occurred here today as the
elimination Of many months of legis-
1ative deadlock. Having frustrated
an attempt at adjournment by the Re-
publicans, the Democratic minority re-
engaged in a filibuster tonight with the
expressed determination to sit If neces-
sary until early morning.
The disturbance began when Senator
Arthur A. Sherman Of Portsmouth, Re-
publican leader. took the chair a few
minutes after 2 o'clock in the absence
OF Lieut.. Gov. Felix A. Toupin, and
ordered the clerk to call the roll. Fear
ful that the move would result In the
commencement of business and then a
sudden adjournment, Senator Robert
E. Quinn Of West Warwick, deputy
Democratic floor leader, asked Senator
John J. Barry of Central Falls, the
Democratic floor leader. to call the lieu
tenant governor from his chambers
across the hall. Senator Quinn then ad-
vanced upon Reading Clerk James NJ.
Dooley. shouting: THE clerk will not
call the ROLL" and. in his own words,
grabbed him around the neck"
Secretary Of State Ernest A..
Sprague. Republican, ran to
Dooley's aid and grappled with SEN
ator Quinn. The chamber was
thrown into disorder and a woman
screamed. High Sheriff iona than
Andrews hurried in with five depu-
ties to find senator's and snec.rtors

hastily from his offices nearby. took
the nlatform and restored order but
not before two spectators had heen

sheriffs. Senator Quinn, struck --oes
the forehead during the milling,
lost his glasses. but neither he nor
other participants in the row were
injured.
Governor Flynn appealed to the
chamber to respect the constitutional
authority of the lieutenant governor
as presiding officer of the senate, and
Mr.. Toupin took his seat, as the SEN
ators gathered In excited groupe to
discuss the disturbance.
The situation at present Is as fol-
lows:
The Democrats are intent upon the
passage OF an emergency appropria-
ton bin and have threatened to fili-
buster Indefinitely. The Republicans
are still eager for an adjournment.

Winner Balloon
Race in Doubt
Await News Belgica

Brussels, June 17.-(By A. P.)-The
winner Of the Gordon Bennett Cup for
1924 has not yet been determined. The
favorite in the great balloon race,
Lieut.. Ernest De Muyter plotting the
Belgica, has not yet been officially
heard from. One report had it that he
had been sighted over Ireland, which,
If true, would give him the greatest
distance.
De Muyter may still be in the. air,
but the other 16 contestants which took
off from Sosbosch Plain Sunday have
come safely to the earth again. Owing
to the curious atmospheric conditions,
the distances allotted to the aeronauts,
which comprise merely the distances
between the starting point an the land
ing point in a straight line, will not be
great. although the balloons in some
instances traversed many miles i'll cir
cuitous voyages. Some of them were
becalmed for hours, while the sailing
direction of others was completely re-
versed at times.
The greatest distance recorded to-
night by the Aero Club, and that only
an estimate. was allotted to the Vile
de Bordeaux, piloted by La Porte, of
FRANCISCO kilometers (about 215
miles). Captain Honeywell, comma nd

Walsh Sees Need
Democrats Pleasing
Progressive Element

Boston. June Ex-senator David I.
Walsh of Massachusetts,, speaking
tonight before the National Demo-
cratic club Of Massachusetts,, declar-
ed that the success Of the Democrat
ic party in the coming election de-
ponds on its nominating a presiden-
tial candidate and adopting a plat
form satisfactory to the Progressives,
Farmers and Labor. He said that
inaction of the Republican party in
it's administration had defeated its
chances but that it was possible for
the Democrats to defeat themselves
similarly.
He said in part:
1.-THE country does not want two
conservative parties. Let the Repub-
flican party have the ultra conserva-
, tive field and forces to itself. The
Democratic party must so shape its
course that 1t will not fail to be pro-
gressive. and 1t must be such to re-
ceive the support of the progressives
and liberals throughout the country.
1.-THE country needs a conservative
party. but there is no need of two
such parties. Nothing will help
more than for the Democrats to NOM
mate a conservative candidate to
bring voters in large numbers to q
third party.
"A Radical party can gain strength
in America only when the Demo-
Gratis offer no hope and make no APP
peal to the liberal progressive forces.
1t is the millions of men and wom-
en- who ask no favors of their gov
eminent and who are pleading for
a leadership that guarantees the i'm
- t....A y I r~I-
privileged and discriminatory legis-
lation in favor of the few who con-
stitute our rallying forces"
Senator Royal 8. Copeland OF New
York and Mayor James NJ. Curley of
Boston also spoke.

methods of attack, and as to defen<
sive tactics.
The national chairman, who ID
William NJ. Butler, Of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Coolidge's re-convention cam.
paign manager, and the national
committee, which now is constituted
of one man and one woman from
each state, is expected by Mr.. Cools
idge to be the actual offensive and
defensive force working as n unit
and working in the states through
the locally selected leaders.
The views of Mr.. Coolidge WITH
respect to conduct Of the campaign,
as presented today were taken as ind
dications of an intention to get the
Republican contcsting forces into
action at an early date. Mr.. Coolidge
already has conferred with several
of the party leaders who returned ia
Washington after the Cleveland con.
vention; he has invited Charles G.
Dawes, his running mate, to WASH
or ten days. and he will meet Mr..
Butler the last Of the week.
The campaign plans. however. have
not reached the point of announce.
mont of a date for the ceremonies at.
tending the formal notifications Of
Mr. Coolidge and Mr.. Dawes of theIs
nominations.
The notification ceremonies fot
Mr.. Coolidge undoubtedly will be
held in Washington and probably
about July 20 although it was indi-
Gated today at the White House that
the president was considering estab.
lishment of quarters outside Of
Washington for a brief period dur-
ing the extreme heat of summer.
C. Bascom Slemp, who was among
those who left Cleveland somewhat
dissatisfied with the management ex-
ercized there by Mr.. Butler and those
most closely associated with him, has
been asked by Mr.. Coolidge to sit
on the advisory committee and Il
was recalled today that Mr.. Slemp
before leaving here yesterday for
ten. days or two weeks trip to Gin
cinnati announced that "in all prob.
ability" he would be on "the advisory
committee of the Republican national
committee which will have the real
management of the campaign"
