ONE-MAN FILIBUSTER
DISRUPTS REPUBLICAN
PROCEDURE IN SENATE
Voight, of Wisconsin, Blocks
Business by Forcing Twenty
Roll Calls.
ABSENTEES ORDERED
TO HASTEN TO POSTS
WASHINGTON. June 4. While the
one man filibuster by Representative
Voigt. Republican. Wisconsin, was atill
going- strong In the hoMse today, tele
grams were sent to absent Republicans
in all of the territory f Kansas to
hurry back to Washington and help
put it down.
Uncle Joe Cannon described it as
the greatest one man flllbuster in his
long experience in congress. Mr. Can
non had seen many in his day, but none
before, he said, where a member rolled
solely upon his individual efforts to
block the business of the house, unless
the leadership could stop him by keep-
lng a quorum constantly on the floor.
With '14 roll calls in his belt each
reqt,irlnK from Js to 30 minutes as his
record of yesterday, Mr. Voigt started
early today and added six more,
straight. He lost on two, once when
the chair counted a quorum, and again
after a march of the membership down
the aisle, and the tellers reported one
or two more than the necessary 216.
On the - second march, however, Mr.
Voigt stood by. the tellers, pad and pen
cil .In hand. Thsre was no "repeating"
and the effort of leaders to prevent a
long roll all failed. The Wisconsin
member remained on the floor through
out the oay, taking mental account of
the number in the chamber.
Always with a emlleMlr. Voigt turn
ed a old, deaf ear on scores of mem
bers who Dleaded with him to stop the
battle. Representative Mondell. thei

lution calling for a congressional In

to "show whether any applicants had

"J am' not going to stop." said Mr.
Voigt tonight "If my resolution is

Colonel Bailey Serving State
With Food For Political Gossip
Out of Hinsdale-Evans Fight
but Things Are Still
Humming.
By BROCK B1BKLET.
With Josah William Bailey elmlnat
ed in round one, the seventh district
solicltorshlp contest has quieted down
and Is now contented to remain within
the confines of this district. In so
far as state-wide attention is concern
ed, but- deep down In the everv-day
strata of politics things are moving
along as hotly as ever.
Mr. Bailey injected hlmelf Into the
fight of his own accord, and then eject
ed himself oLhis own accord. Satisfied,
as he expresses It. with the treni of
events, he apparently now is waiting
for the first of July. With him. out,
the fight lacks the noise and blqiter
that he developed.
But more may be heard from him ar
ter the first. .The accusation against
the Raleigh attorney, former collector
of internal revenue for the ftata. and
an avowed candidate to succeed Gov
ernor Morrison. Is that, seelnar n
Evans victory, he threw himself tnto
the contest as a champion of he "p
per-world" and the Irreslstable enemy
of the "under-world:
Should Evans win. It 1s claimed that
Mr. Bailey will herald this over the
state as a BaUey victory a vlototr
against the forces of evil, acalnst the
Jones faction 'and last but not least,
against the mystery man or politics.

If .Hinsdale wins, no one Is looking
for much noise from Mr. Bslley until
the contest and what It was all aboal
Has 'faded Into .the trst.

but' Bailey's onslaught on Hinsdale and
his workers has set them to a death

number far exceeded the 166 necessary
to bring- up the question of cloture.

BERLIN. June 24. (By the Assocl- .i. !
ated Press). Dr. Walter Rathenua,
merman zoreign minister, and more
closely identified than any other Ger
man with the efforts at theTehabillta- ..;.
tion of his country since the war, was : . '
shot and instantly killed by two'or ;Vi
more unknown assassins while on his t.V I
way from . Ms residence this morning "' 'I; r
to the foreign office. - V I
The minister was subjected to a'verl- f I
table hall of bullets, one of tnemV
striking him in the throat and passing j
upward to the brain; while others-;' .
struck him in various parts of the - V
body. Hand grenades also were thrown, ' , t" .
almcst wrecking the car in which Dr.vr
Kattienau was riding, and . inflicting;.:.-
further injuries on the minister. ' '
Chancellor Wlrth's government to .'
night is marshaling the nation's lib- :
eral elements to the rfpfenn nf thV-";.
young German republic and organized
labor, represented in both socialist
parties is again first to buckle on the
armor. Just as it did during the Kapp
revolt. Announcement is made that
the government will establish extra
ordinary courts for the trial of na
tionalist Dlotters and that a state of
emergency for Prussia will be pro- .
ciaimea.
All regimental reunions and miUk-'Sl
taristlc demonstrations are to be pro;
hibited. Yet. despite vociferous cries1-..-,
of 'long live the republic." which re-v
sounded through the reichstag cham
ber at the close of a memorial session
to Rathenau today, thoughtful men of
all ranks and parties were silently, ;' i
but gravely apprehensive for tHe na-jc, 'f
tlon. . .1. ...;
While the heat of resentment and. i -:
partisan feeling has not yet sufficiently j
cooled to warrant a sure appraisal of V-3 f
the direction in which the political ef-t
feet of Rathenau's assassination will, V:
spread, yet this much Is certain the . ,.1
government is facing a far more- pre- . r ' ;
carious situation than it did when na-; -:
tional Bullets struQk down Erzberger
in the BVtk forest 10 months ago. C;" !
-The emat?whlctt'm?lrked the brief: fit
addresses of .Chancellor Wirth y knd -r
President " Loebe before the reichstag ' .
reflected sentiments which were shard;'"
By many others, while the rioting- of'
the radicals througnout what was ' to -
have been a decorous memorial to the ;-"
dead foreign minister reflected the feel
ing of unrelenting- vengeance vowed in;
behalf of the German proletariat.
Never did the reichstag witness sucU.2
scenes of turbulence and execrations,;-.
Dr. Karl Helfferich, the nationalist '
leader, who had attacked Dr. Rathe.
nau in a savage speech in the reich--stag
yesterday, sat curled up in his--;
seat far to the right of the house. r;
He appeared to be In a very depressed
and somewhat fearful state.
President Loebe had difficulty in gret- ,J
ting the session under way as the radi- ;
cals swarmed over to the rlg'ht, threat-V
ening Helfferich and other nationalists .
who volunteered to come to his rescue.
Cbancellor Wirth, who stepped down -
from the government bench In an. at- .. j
tempf- to pacify the bellicose deputies,
had to give up the task and - presl- -
dent's insistent bell also failed to re ?
store order. 'V
Ths uproar was primarily aimed at, '
Helfferich, whom the socialists andr -1
communists wanted to force out of ; ths?;
chamber through cries of "murderer' '
"assassin." - ". . ,'.-'
After long rioting- In the early part ,
of the session. President Loebe's per-
suasiveness induced partial quiet, and
They were not without vicious inter-v ,,
ruptions from the left side of the cham-1, ..
ber, however. '
"This seat," said the president, point-J
lng to Dr. Ra-fchenau's plaoe-on thei .
government bench,- "would net beCvar
cant today had it not been for thoj
boundless Inflammatory agization di
rected against the .heads of, the, gov
ernment." This remark 'Was addressed
to the right side of the bouse.
He paid. Dr. Rathjenau a. movtnr
tribute for his unselfish devotion ; to
th cause of the republic' and his
speech evoked loud oriss of 'long- live k
the republic," in wmcn mt sauin
joined.
