declared that the election was parity
bought and partly stolen.

INJURED Senator Robinson in innocent
zones.
1.-The governor of the great State
bf Pennsylvania" detained Senator
Harrison amid a burst Of laughter.
In the last half hour desperate
efforts were made by Senator Warren
of Wyoming, Senator Stewart of Iowa
and others to obtain the passage of d
Joint resolution sent over from tho
House to take care of the pensions
of widows of the Civil War and fol-
other purposes. Their efforts were
Nnavailing.
Walsh Is Sustained.
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
made a point of order that the resolu
ton could not be considered except
by unanimous consent. and he was
sustained by the Vice President. The
Massachusetts Senator was deaf to al
pleas. He declared that he was stand
ing for q principle. that a majority
should rule in the Senate. President
Coolidge, he said, could call q special
session of the next Congress and put
through these bills that were dying
because of the filibuster, he said.
The end came with Senator liar
rison seeking to interrupt Vice Presl
dent Dawes. But Dawes only answer
was a series of rapS with his gaVel
As he concluded he announced--"Th The
Senate now is adjourned sine die"
Senators and the galleries rose &c
sheir feet applauding.
Tempers Unimproved.
When the Senate met at $50 o'clock
this morning, the few hours steep
accorded Senators apparently mad not
improved their tempers.
Senator Warren of Wyoming, vet
eran chairman of the appropriations
committee. who for long hours, DAY
and night, has remained In the
chamber during the filibuster, seeking
an opportunity to get action on the
second deficiency appropriation bill,
Immediately moved to take up that
measure.
: The absence of a quorum was Sug-
gested by Senator Reed of Missouri,
and when a quorum had been ob-
tanned, Senator Robinson of Arkansas
called attention to the fact that the
motion to take ND the deficiency bill
was not in order There had been no
adjournment since the bill was re-
ported to the Senate, for at midnight
last night a recess, not an adjourn
ment, was taken.

said Senator Curtis. Republican leader.
"And Immediately thereafter to
vote Oh the pending resolution con.
tinuing the Slush fund committee,
added Senator Reed of Missouri.
Il object" shouted Senator Reed OF
Pennsylvania.
The fat was in the flfe.
Pennsylvania Angered.
Red in the face. Senator Reed OF
PENNSYLVANIA then moved to take up
the Presidents veto of the McNary =
Haugen farm relief bill.
Senator Johnson of California ana
Senator Robinson of Arkansas were
both on their feet clamorinG Tor
recognition.
Senator Johnson said that the
Senate should act deliberately on
such a matter as the veto OF the
farm bill and not cavalierly. He in
sisted that the Constitution pre-
scl.ibed the way in which to deal
with presidential vetoes.
Il move to lay the motion on the
table" said Senator Robinson OF
Arkansas "The Senator from Cali
fornia is right, The Senator from
Pennsylvania merely made the mo-
ton 10 further his filibuster. :,
'I challenge that statement,
shouted Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania. adding that he believed the
President was entitled to have the
Senate vote on the veto message ana
sustain the veto.
Point of Order Sustained.
oh" replied Senator Robinson,
''the Senator is within his rights In
making his motion"
The point of order was made that
the motion of Senator Reed of Penn
sylvania was not in order and was
sustained by the Vice President in
the chair.
An appeal from the decision Of the
chair was taken by Senator Reed OF
Pennsylvania.
II move to lay the appeal on the
table, said Senator Pittman OF
Nevada, Democrat.
Thereupon without debate the SEN
ate voted 81 to 80 against the mo-
ton to table the appeal.
Many Senators were still absent
from the chamber, apparently rely
ing upon the agreement entered into
last night under which the deficiency
bill was to be passed.
At this point Senator Harrison of
Mississippi asked for reconsideration
of the vote on the House resolution
authorizing the ways and means com
nittee to hold hearings during the
recess of Congress.
