The absence of a_guorum W gested by Senator Reed of Missouri, and when a quorum had been ob- tained, Senator Robinson of Arkansas called attention to the fact that the motion to take up the deficiency bill Was not in order.

Senator Reed of Pennsylvania re plied that the farm bill had been in charge of Senator McNary of Oregon. He insisted, however, that he was act- ing within his rights when he asked for a vote on the veto. Caraway Delivers Tirade. At this point the Vice President ruled that action on the veto message, a matter of highest privilege, would not displace th olution. A vitriolic ti t Senator Reed of Penns: delivered by Senator Caraway of Arkansas, who insisted that ‘“‘the s of the enator of Pennsylvania is to deal with corruption” rather than with the farm problem. “The Senator from Pennsylvania, continued Mr. Caraway, “has become the baiter and hater of our section of the country, the South. We sat here all night and heard his denuncia- tion of the South. It has become his stock in trade.” Senator Caraway was not corruption in the Pennsyl- nia and Illinois elections alone which was holding up the Reed reso- lution. Proposes Visit by Reed. “There is another Senator who knows that if the resolution is adopt ed, his election may be attacked said Senator Caraway. He did not name the Senato Senator Caraway offered to let Sena- or Reed go to the State of Ar- kansas as a committee of the Senate to investigate the elections there, it he wanted to. “Oh, that wouldn't be necessary,” id nator Reed of Pennsylvania, the Senator from Arkansas can bring the ballots up in his pocket the next time he comes.” “Everything in the Republican party insisted that it | gets back to the pocket sooner or later,” interjected Senator Bruce of Maryland bitterly.

After a hurried consultation on the floor with Sel or Curtis, Republican, Senator Reed of Missouri asked unani- mous consent that the second defl- ciency appropriation bill be taken up and passed immediately This s in | speciz id Se srdance with the understanding en- | tered into last night iator Johnson of California want ¢ the bill was to be passed chance on debate of amendments that might be offered Senator Reed of Missouri ted that 30 minutes be allowed for con- sideration of the bill. “T object,” shouted Senator Reed of “] am not going to » vour resolution go on this bill n amendment g and disorder in the with the proposal to take | up the bill followed, with Vice Pres dent Dawes rapping loudly for orde and insisting there would be no busi- ness transacted unless the Sel took their seats and were in order. | Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin want- led to know wheth agreement | could be entered into that no amend | ment would be offered for the Reed slush fund committe Glass Voices Protest.

At this point Senator Blease of South Carolina said that he would not agree to any consideration of the deficiency bill unless an amendment that he had lying on the table, pro- viding $50,000 to be spent in his State, \could go on the bill. Curtis Chides Senate. Republican Leader Senator Curtis chided the Senate because of its re-| fusal to live up to the agreement en- tered into last night for the passage of the deficiency bill. | “Last night, after much work and| many conferences,” said Senator Cu tis, “an agreement w entered into to recess until 8:30 o'clock this mo ing and then to pass the deficier bill. T would never have agreed to a recess had it Lieen otherwise.” Senator Reed of Missourl asked un animous consent to pass the deficiency Lill just as it was printed and reported from the committee. “I object, 1 object,” Senator Wheeler of Montana and Senator Bruce of Maryland, and so the request was lost. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania sought recognition, apparently to prefer another unanimous consent agreement. All this time Senator Neely of West Virginia had been holding the floor, having hegun an address on a request for informa- tion he had made to the White House. “I object,” sald Senator Robinson, in a voice s0 hoarse as almost to be inaudible and_thereby cut off Sen- {ator Reed of Pennsylvania. Consent Again Asked. Again Senator Reed of Missouri asked unanimous consent that the de- ficiency bill as printed be passed. “Is there objection, is there objec- tion?” asked the Vice President. And he added almost immediately, “The bill is passed. The bill is passed.” “I objected, I objected,” shouted EVENING STAR. lhat per came from | Senator Howell of Nebraska. When he could make his volce heard above the din the Vice President announced that without objection the vote on the bill would be reconsidered.

Walsh Enters Fray. Still another request for unanimous consent to vote on the deficiency bill was made by Senator Bratton of New Mexico. Senator Howell said that he | would agree if $12,000,000 item for the Missouri River was included. I respectfully object,” boomed Sen- {ator Walsh of Massachusetts, enter- | ing the fray for the first time today. | “There is something more at issue { here than appropriation bills. I don’t | propose to let one-third of the Senate {dominate, I demand that we adjourn {at noon, and let the President call an extra session of Congress so that we can continue what we have been |doing. I congratulate the Senator from New Hampshire and the Senator from Pennsylvania. They well knew | that in the closing hours of this ses- sion they could prevent a vote on the | Reed resolution, but if 1 stand alone will not be their: time Senator Neely con- tinued 1o hold the floor. He suggested that there were two or three willful men on the other side who were will- ing to sacrifice everything, “Iin order to defeat investigation of debauchery in the elections last year.” ’ Warren Appeal Opposed. A further appeal by Senator War- ren to pass the deficiency bill again met objection on the part of Senator Walsh. Senator Warren suggested aps the President would not ion. ures from A few the House | were handed down at the suggestion of Senator Curtis. Senator Walsh of Massachusetts said that he was trying to impre: on the country “that sooner or later the Senate must become a legislative body that can transact its business.” “The chair fully agrees with the Senator from Massachusetts,” said Vice President Dawes, amid much laughter. At this point Senator McNary ob- tained leave to have the conference report on the national arboretum bill adopted. It went through without de- bate, and several other bills were con- sidered. Neely Refuses to Yield. Senator Moses of New Hampshire | moved to take up the conference re- port on the postal rate bill, but S ator Neely still held the floor and in- sisted that he had not yielded for this purpose- Senator G minutes before ss of Virginia a few 11 o'ciock asked unani- at 11 o'clock the r Reed of Pennsylvania ob- jected when he could get no agree- ment that the Reed resolution would not be offered as an amendment to the buildings bill. On motion of Senator Curtis of Kansas the Vice President then ap- pointed the usual committee to wait on the President and ask him if he had any further communications to make to Congress before it should adjourn sine die. Senator Curtls and Senator Robinson were named. Credential 0. K.'s Reported. Senator Ernst of Kentucky, chair- man of the Senate committee on privileges and elections, arose in the turmoil of the last hour to report that the committee had examined the cer- tificates of election of Willlam S. Vare of Pennsylvania and Frank L. Smith of Illinois and found them to be in proper form. Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas interrupted to explain that the committee merely examined the Last Call for Winter! First Call for Spring!

Senator Ernst also submitted a re- port from the same committee, hold- ing in substance that Senator Arthur R. Gould, Republican, of Maine is en- titled to retain his seat in the Senate. A few moments later Senator Har- rison, Democrat, of Mississippi, in commenting upon the fact that Sen- ator Ernst goes out of the Senate today, declared: “It’ seems quite appropriate that . - from Kentucky, as one ts in the Senate, should port from the committee on,the case of Senator Gould and that he’ should also present the report on the credentials of Smith and Vare, because he was one of the unluc 13 who voted against the origi resolution to inyestigate the slush fund.” Senator Tiarrison then turned his oratory on Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania, declaring that he had displayed his skill as a lawyer by trying to place the blame on the Dem- ocratic side for the failure of le lation in'the closing hours of the s sion. make the Harrison Obtains Floor. | Senator Harrison of Mississippi ob- tained the floor and hegan to read & letter from former Gov.

Phipps Tries to Interrupt. “If his judgment was as good as his talents as a lawyer, the Senator from Pennsylvania_would be a great man,” sald Senator Harrison. Senator Phipps of Colorado sought to interrupt Senator Harrison. “I can’t yield to the Senator from Colorado,” said Senator Harrison, “I know he has been squirming in his chair. T will get to him later. The elections in Colorado may need a lit- tle investigation.” “Will the Senator from Mississippi agree to an investigation in Tennes- see also?" broke in Senator Phipi “Yes,” said Senator Harrison, agree to investigation in Tennessee if the Sengtor will put in Colorado, too.” “The Senator from Colorado says nothing,” commented Senator Robin- son from Arkansas. nator Reed of Missouri rose. ask unanimous conint that my resolution be amended so as to include investigations in Colorado and Ten- nessee as well as Pennsylvania and Tilinois.” Reed of Pennsylvania suggested that Alabama and Mississippi be also in- cluded for investigation. Harrison of Mississippi and Reed of Missouri both snapped at the idea, but Reed of Pennsylvania added that he wished the investigations made by the privileges and elections committee. At this the Democratic side of the MARCH "4, 1927. Senate roared and when Reed of Mis- souri persisted in asking unanimous consent to pass his resolution includ- ing the States mentioned for inves gation, Reed of Pennsylvania sald: “I object.” “The course of the Senator from Pennsylvania may receive the cheers of the Vare following in Philadelphia, but not of the country,” said Har- rison. A resolution from the House posing to take care of pensioners and ex-service men at this point was mes saged over from the House and Sen ator Warren moved to take it up. Walsh of Massachusetts objected. I congratulate Senator Moses of New Hampshire on his nerve and courage in carrying this filibuster to the end,” said Senator Walsh. “But I do not intend to submit to political blackmail. They thought that we who had fought for principles would yield in the end when it became a matter of obtaining appropriations. 1 do not propose to be blackjacked in the last hour of this session to receding from my_ position Senator Stewart of Iowa shouted that the commissioner of pensiol had said that the widows of soldiers 80 and 90 years old could not be paid unless the resolution passed. “Let the Senator make his appeal to the Senator from Pennsylvania,” said Senator Harrison. Senator Moses attempted to arise to a question of personal privilege, but the Vice President shut him off. declaring at he couldn’t take Harrison from the floor on such grounds. pro.
