W 1907 North Carolina avenue SENATORS WILL BY ROBERT T. SMALL. The Senate is about to demonstrate to Vice P ident Dawe: at © end a fillbuster whenever it really desires to do so and can force a vote when a large majority of Senators de sire a vote. This Is the Senate's answer to the Vice President’s cha t one can tie the legislation of the coun into double bowknots. It is the Sen. ate’'s demonstration of the t that its rules need not be changed. The nate never will stand for the “steam ‘oller” methods in vogue in the House \f Represen and Senators slaim that {s what Mr. Dawes would force upon them if he could have his way. All of which i3 probably true. Mr. Dawes always has been a fast worker. He v cut the sions of Co ut thre veeks each. One can easily sympa- thize with such an aim on the part f a man compelled to preside over drawn-out debates. Gen. Dawes has failed to fathom. or in any event has failed to take into consideration, the difference be- tween Senate rules and senatorial courtesy. It is. In fact, senatorial courtesy which permits Senators to get up and talk forever subject under the sun excent particular bit of business presuma- bly before the body. This has been an age-long custom in the Senate. It 1s o sort of gentleman's agree- ment and if Senators choose to vio- late it, or take advantage of it. they alone are responsible.

The filibuster has continued also, if | the truth must be known, because | there is no great zeal for the World Court in any part of the Senate.

The Democrats, committed as a party for the court. have been more or less content to sit by and laugh at | the troubl of the Republican lead- | ers in trying to bring this “Coolidge policy” to a vote. Reluctantly the petition to end the debate has been brought forward. The reluctance, as already stated, is due entirely to that old precedent of senatorial courtesy — the | which gives each Senator the right to bo heard on every issue. There s no such courtesy in the House of Repre- sentatives. There couldn’t be. If 96 Senators, under courtesy rules, can delay action as they do, it is easy to {magine what 435 Representatives could accomplish under similar con- ditions. Vice President Dawes, nevertheless, is about to see the Senate function under its own methods. (Copyright, 1926.) Mary E. Lau- Mrs. George northeast; 1201 C street northeast; en, 1309 Quincy stree 7.

Burns, in Hospital Due to Traffic Accident, Supplies Mystery for Solution. Discovery of a bullet in the head of Edward T. Burns, deaf mute, of 113 Pennsylvania avenue, who was taken to Emergency Hospital yester- day after being struck by an automo- bile near John Marshall place on Pennsylvania ‘avenue, has opened the door to mystery. Detectives Brodie and Varney were called in after the discovery was made that X-ray photographs show- ed a bullet embedded beneath the left cheekbone of Burns, who sustained [head injuries and broken ribs in the accident. After Percival Hall, a professor at Gallaudet and Byron Burns, student there, had examined the injured man in sign language they reported he could not recall ever having been shot. Detectives surveyed possibilities of the bullet having entered the head at the conclusion that such was impos- sible. Detectives belicve the bullet has been in Burns' head some time.
