! Sitting in on his first wind-up OF
Congress. Vice President Dawes had
| strenuous time yesterday interpret
| ing Senate rules and undertaking to
preserve some semblance of order.
At one time he had on his hands a
couple of concurrent fflibusters; twice
found the Senate sustaining his rul-
ings and frequently resorted to the
use of his gavel in quelling some of
the widest scenes presented in the
Senate in years.
Out of the welter of discussion, par
liamentary inquiries, points of order,
motions, quorum calls and appeals
from his decision, emerged these con
crete actions in the six hours of the
session:
Passage Of II bridge bills in 8
minutes: adoption of a Mexican reso-
port on the deficiency bill and passage
of a measure to establish a naval ar
senal at Hawthorne. New.
Two Cloture Petitions.
Two petitions to- invoke the cloture
rule. limiting debate. We're filed while
the days confusion was approaching
its peak, and Gen. Dawes lost no time
in ruling them in order over violent
protest, since they were intended to
cut short filibusters.
After the second petition had been
filed. Senator Ashurst Democrat,
Arizona, held the floor in a filibuster
against the Boulder Canyon Dam bill,
although the Democratic leader, Rob
inson of Arkansas, sought to get him
)ff his feet because the emergency of.
ficers' retirement bill had been laid be-
fore the Senate.
Ashurst held his ground and Dawes
ruled that he had a right to do SO.
although he was not talking on the
subject before the Senate.
There is nothing in the rules about
relevancy" Numbered the Arizona
Senator.
Unfortunately, there isn't" re-
torted Dawes, as Senators and the
crowds in the galleries roared.
Rules Thrown to Winds.
The flibusters for the day were on
the Boulder Canyon and emergency
officers bills, and when they subsidized
by parliamentary limitation there was
an effort to get up the alien property
return bill.
Replying to questions. the Vice
President ruled that the Boulder Can
yon bill would automatically become
the Senate's business at l pm. Satur-
day, even If temporarily sidetracked
beforehand. Several Senators threw
rules to the winds as they discussed
back and forth whether this was so
and whether, 1t being SO. Gen. Dawes
had a right to give an opinion SO far
in advance of the event.
Senator Lenroot. Republican. Wis

that he would bring up the public
