EFFORT T0 OBTAIN SURPLUS NOW FAILS |4 Phipps Amendment to De- ficiency Bill Loses on Len- root’s Point of Order. RENEW DRIVE NEXT TERM Wisconsin - Senator Declares Not Enough Is Known of Act to Rush Matter. A point of order by Senator Len- root of Wisconsin against the Phipps amendment to the third deflclency bill, to confirm by legislative action the report of the joint congressional committee recommending that §4,- 438,000 of surplus revenues of the District now in the federal Treasury be used for the benefit of the District, last night prevented that item from being included in the bill. It was the hope of Senator Phipps, chalrman of the joint committee, and many others that the item might be placed in the bill and action obtained on the matter of the surplus at the sston of Congress. But now e Lill has been passed without e stems no chance of action on the surplus at the present session, al though both the Senate and House District comnyittees have reported favorably on the proposal to permit the District to use these surplus reve- nues. Renew Effort Next Term. ._The effort to have Congress to ap- prove the findings of the joint congres- slonal commlittee in regard to the sur- pus, however, will be renewed ut the next session of Congress, if nothing can be done between now and Sunday at noon, when the present session will end. Senator Lenrvot's poi of order was not directed, he said, at the merits of the proposal to allow the District the use of the surplus rovenues, but was made on the ground that it was general legislation propused on an appropria- tion bill, and that as there was oppo- sition to the er in the House it would only result in delaying the ap- propriation bill. Senator I ps and Senator W A chairman of the appropriations com- mittee, both urged the senator from Wisconsin to withdraw his point of order. Point of Order Sustained. The Vice President, however, sustained the point of order and ended the dis- cussion. In making his point of order Senator Lenroot said that the Phipps amend- ment was a very Important matter, and he doubted if any senator knows any- thing about_it. Senator Warren replied that the amendment had been considered by the appropriations committee and re- ported. He said: “I am aware, as the Senator has stated, that it is a matter covering a great deal of ground, but to bring it down to a few words'it means that either we do or do not owe tha Dis- trict of Columbia some four million and odd dollars as a result of the ac- counting that has taken place, going back as far as 1878 and being brought up to the present hour. It opinion of the committes that the United States does owe the District of Columbia that amount.” “I would like to ask how much con- sideration was given to it by the sub- P SPECIAL NOTICES. “WHY WB MUST THINK ABOUT THE IN- ®ide of our bodles.” Sunday night, Pastor E.

Many of his col- leagues in the Senate were unaware that he would not be on hand for the wind-up of the Sixty-seventh Congress, s quietly did he make his departure. Friends said they understood he in- tended during the coming months to write an_account of his experiences in public_life. Senator Williams called on President rding yvesterday to bid him good-bye. “I won't say good-bye to you,” he said later to newspapermen, I may see all again some day, 50 I will use the more convenient term, au revoir, or, if it is not semi-disloyal, auf wiedersehn.” committee?” replied Senator Lenroot. { “On February 17 a bill was intro- duced in the Senate and referred to the committes on the District of Columbia _covering tals very lan- guage, and the commictee on the Dis- | trict of Columbia reported the biil out favorably, and it is on the calen- dar,” replied’ Senator Phipps. “On the same date, February 17, in the House a duplicate of the Senate bill was _introduced by Congressman Hardy of Colorado, and it was refer- red to the House committee on the District of Columbla, and has been favorably reported by the House committee. The bill,. therefore, hav- ing received the approval of a stand- ing committec of the House as well {as a standing committee of the Sen- {ate, I do not sce how it can be subject I to a point of order.” “It is general legislation,” satd Mr. The committee has no right T hap- Lenroot. | to report general legislation. !pen to know thut there is opposition to the ratter in another bo 1 1 know nothing aboyt the merits of it. i It may be all right, but I do know if there be opposition in another body {that there will be no opportunity to | consider the matter on its merits if it is attached as an amendment to the pending bill.

K.’d. Congress yesterday cleared the path to its adjournment Sunday by passing three of the lmportant meas- ures at the top of its list, leaving only comparatively minor measures for the two days left for active work. The farm credits bill was passed by the House and sent to conference by an overwhelming vote of 305 to 36 while the Senate was passing the “filled” milk bill and the last appro- priation measure, the third deficiency bill. Numerous small bills also were passed by the House, and the Senate held a night session to work upon its grist of minor measures. Prompt agreement in conference on the ¥arm credits, “filled” milk and $157,000,000 deficiency appropriation bills was predicted and their enact- ment was regarded as certain. ‘With the important legislation safe- 1y on its way, collislons occurred in both Senate and House for right of way for remaining measures. In the Senate the government employes' salary reclassification, the child labor constitutional amendment and the “truth in fabric” bill vied for con- sideration. The Norris constitutional amendment, to advance the meetings of Congress and the date of presi- dentlal inaugurals, and a soore of othre measures were in the balance in the House jam. The reclassifica- tion bill was made the unfinished business. Several hundred nominations were confirmed late yesterday by the Sen- ate, but the many recent judicial and other measures were in the balance over. The Senate rejected the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen, negro republican leader of Louisiana, to be controller of customs at New Orleans. Actlon on the nominations of D. R. Crissinger, controller of currency. to be governor of the Federal Reserve Board; of Representative Mondell, republican, Wyoming, to be director of the War Finance Corporation, and other im- portant nominations went over. Among those confirmed was H. H.{ Glassie, local lawyer, to be & member of the tariff commission, and of Wil- llam C. Deming to be a member of the Civil Service Commission. OYSTER GIVES ADVICE. Tells Traffic Men to Enforce Law, But Not Be Overzealous.

Inc GERMAN EMBASSY FEARS RUHR CRASH Oppression Creates Tensity and Danger of Explosion, Is Statement Here. French “oppressions” in the Ruhr have forced the German population into an “atmosphere of high tension,” so acute that, according to a formal statement by the German embassy here last night, it may “in the near future lead to explosions.” The German officlal apparatus in the region, it was sald, had been so paralyzed by the French that it could no longer guarantee “the maintenance of peace and order.” The statement follows: “Owing to the latest events in the Ruhr territory, especially owing to the ever more numerous and brutal expulsions, draconic sentences by court-martial, pillages and ill treat- ments In the streets, and through the oppressions of entire towns such as Rocklinhausen, Gelsenkirchen and Bochum, an atmosphere of high ten- sion has gradually been created in the entire occupled territory, which causes the possibility to be feared that this atmosphere may in the near future lead to explosions. Still Passively Resistent. “The German government still malntains a policy of mere passive resistance as hitherto applied and in this policy is backed by the unani- mous support of the officlals and the entire population. Should, however, the population, already severely tried, let {itself be led to acts of desperation, the German government, owing to the paralyzation by the French of the German official appa- ratus in the Ruhr, will not be in a position to guarantee the mainte- nance of peace and order in the oc- cupied territory. “How far the German adminis- trative and economic apparatus i occupled territory has been disor- ganized by the French is shown by the following: “By order of the commander of the 128th French Division German security police of Essen, urban and rural district, has been disbanded.
