As churges and countercharges of ® filibuster on the tariff bill were hurled back and forth across the Senate chamber for three hours yes- terday, republican leaders put under way- their movement to attempt to invoke the present cloture rule, op- eratlve under a two-thitds vote to shut off debate on the ieasure.

Fleming, a Shanghal lawyer, for contempt in presenting and reading in open court | an affidavit which the court of ap-| peals, 'to which the case had after- ! rd been taken, declared to be ‘scandalous, insulting and contemp- tuous, tending to obstruct the due ! administration of justice,” has been sustained by President Harding, and | the judge has been thoroughly vindi- | cated both by the President and At- torney General Daugherty, to whom Fleming's complaint was referred. After commitment Fleming was te- | leased on bail, on condition that he would take his case to the court of appeals, with the result that that tri- || bunal affirmed Judge Lobingier's sen- tence in every particular. 1 The Other members of the bar in China supported the judge, as did also the American Chamber of Commerce and the American Assoclation of China, as well as the leading citizens, including Chlef Justice Wang of the Chinese supreme .court, It is stated.

The $240 bonus bill for government employes will be taken up by the Sen- ate appropriations committee for consideration tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'ciock. It is expected that the bill will be reported promptly to the Senate and passed by that body. Members of the Senate appropriz. tions committee sald yesterday the thought there was no possibility no of putting through the reclassifics tion bill before the beginning of the new fiscal year, and that therefore the intention was to put through the bonus bill as soon as possibie. The probabilities are that the re sification bill will not become a tor some Iittle time. The subcom- mittee of the appropriations commit- tee in charge of the reclassification measure had a meeting Friday after- noon and will meet again early th week. It is by no means yet ready to dispose of the reclassification, how- ever. PLAN'HELIUM DIRIGIBLES FOR ARMY AIR SERVICE Three Ships Under Contract, First of Such Construction to Be Attempted by U. S. The Army air service has contracted with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company’ of Akron, Phlo, for the con- struction of three more diriginsle ships for the Army. These ships will be de- signed for the use of helfum and con- sequently will be a trifie larger than the-standard non-rigid dirigible, since helium has somewhat less iifting power than the hydrogen gas hereto- fore used. Each of the new ships will have a capacity of 225,000 cubic feet and it is expected that the first of the three will be ready for assembling at the Akron plant early mext month. As helium s non-inflammable, the contract just awarded means that the United States government intends to make its lighter-than-air craft safer than is believed to be poseible with the use of hydrogen gas. The action marks also the first construction in this coufi!rg" of dirigible ships de- signed for helium. Some existing ships of the govern- ment have been altered to permit the use of helium, but those just ordered will be the first American-built ships primarily for that gas.
