dishtuches VOLUME xxvn Senate Fight Goes On To Last Hour Despite Efforts To Get Peace Senator Reed, of Missouri, Fights for His Point and Other Senators Are Just as Determined. FILIBUSTERKEPT BUSINESS HALTED Farm Relief, Deficiency Bills and Others Brought Up in an Effort to Break Deadlock on the Floor. Washington, March 4. ——With only three and one-lialf hours left in the life of the Sixty-ninth Congress the senate deadlock apparently re mained unbroken when Vivo President lhtwes en.led the session to order at 8:30 o'clock this morning. Chairman Warren, of the appropria tions committee, moved to take up the second deficiency appropriation bi.l which would have side tracked the resolution of Senator Reed, democrat of Missouri, to continue the life of the special campaign funds committee, and against which Senator Reed, of Penn ey.vania, has been fUbustering. Before a vote could be coiled for, Reed, of Missouri, das on his feet with a demand, for a quorum. The motion of Senator Warren then was ruled out of order and Senator Curtis, of Kansas. republican leader, pleaded with the senate that it give unanimous consent to take up the de ficiency bill. Reed, of Missouri, said he would agree to this if the senate would agree to vote immediately thereafter on his resolution. I “I object," shouted Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania. leaving the tangle just ns it was when the senate re cessed at midnight. The quorum call showed 53 sena tors present. Reed, of Pennsylvania, then stirred the senate into a fight over farm re lief. He proposed a vote on passage of the MeNary-Haugen tarm bill over President Coolidge’s veto. An argu ment arose as tt> the method of voting on the measure. Then Reed, of Missouri, proposed that the deficiency bit. he put through, bat Senator Wheeler, democrat, or tMbiitana, Rocked it with an objection. The Missouri eeuatoreonySuf with his proposal a st.pulation that his reso.ution would be kept before the senate after the deficiency bill was disposed” of. Those who were waging a filibuster against the reso.ulion had agreed. Senator Whoe.er’s objection was sec onded by Senator Bruce, democrat, o; Maryland. Another attempt to shove the defi* ciency bill through shortly after 10 a. m. was blocked by Senator Howell, republican, of Nebraska. For a mo ment it appeared that the measure had wou. When Reed, of Missouri, restated his proiiosal, Vicq President / Dawes banged his gavel and declared it passed without objection. Senator Howell rushed down to the vice presi dent's desk shouting h.s objection. At the same time there were shouts from ail sides of the floor to "engross the bill". But upon tEB insistent demands of Howell the vice presideut yielded, re ceived the objection which again b-pcaed the bill. Benator Howell laid he objected because President Coo.idge had vetoed the McNary-Haugen bill. Banging h.s desk, Chairman Warren, of the appropriations committee, re p.ied that the deficiency measure car ried several appropriations for the farmer, and added "The way to kii. it all is to object to consideration unless each senator can have his own damned way." ■ Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, blocked another effort to get the bil. before the senate declaring he was not willing to let money matters stand in the way of the campaign funds in vestigation which he described as In* voiring “the principle of honest gov. ernment,” “I demand adjournment at 12 o’clock," ”he shouted, and "that the President cal. a x special session and go on with what we have been hav ing—civil war against honest govern ment.” r Many Bills Flailed of Passage. , Washington, 'March 4.—WY—An other session of Congress passed into history today to the accompaniment of a senate storm that swept to limbo some of the best laid plans of party leaders. Chief among the administration Mils to fail of passage was the $93,(XX),000 deficiency'measure carrying important money allotments for the army, the veterans loans and seed loans to farm ers, and for pension increases. Aiso consigned to the wbaste basket were a.ien property bill, postal rate revision bill, and the $19,000,000 ap propriation to pay for the first year’s work on the new public building pro gram. But the failure of these projects was not without its Saving feature for ad ministration senators. The favorites dragged down to defeat with them the proposal which had tied senate pro cedure in a knot daring the, closing hours of the session—the resolution of Resd, of Missouri, to extend the life of his campaign fund investigation.

The Tribune Bureau I * Sir Waiter Hotel ! By .1. Q BASKERVILL 1 Raleigh, Mayeli 4.—Will the house! Increase the corporation income tax.! , already increased one-half per cent. by the senate, to one per cent, making ; it five instead of four per cent, as at present ? There seems to be a growing poesi-j bility that this will be done, espe cially since the senate knocked out the tax on manufacturers of cigar ! ettes entirely and reduced the rail : road franchise tax frqm one-fourth of one per cent, to one-fifth of one per rent. This iiossibllity is further strengthened b.v the fact that the senate defeated *the Hanoock-Royail bill, providing for a levy of one-tenth of one per rent, on foreign corpora tion mocks held by citizens of the state b.v a large vote, while the house finance committee declined to report an identical bill. The chief oppo sition to this bill, both in the senate and in the house committee, was that it was unconstitutional in that it sought to impose what in reality was . an ad varolem tax for school purposes and that it was a step backwards since the law had been repealed by a previous legislature and. hence should not be restored. There still remain to be acted upon the bills by Representative Nat Town send, of Harnett, the “statesman of the bouse”, which would impose n privilege or luxury tax on theatre ad missions and soft drinks. And while . there are a few who might be in favor of such taxes, it is a well known fnct that auything bordering on a sales tux in North Carolina is not popular, especially when localized on two things, such us theatre tickets and “dopes”. Thus while there is no de nying tlie fact that these are luxuries, they are luxuries which the majority of the people take seriously so that any attempt to tax them would be bound to create a wave of real opposition if not resentment. Thus there is little belief that the bills offered by the “gentleman from Harnety" have much chance for seri ous consideration, but tjiat they were offered more for the ‘psychological a chisce of being enacted. And they hare undoubtedly bad some effect a ong tills Hhe v since opinion is now pretty generally solidified behind the idea that whatever tax increases are made will have to be within the in come tax brackets. The majority of the members of the senate are of the belief that the one-half per cent, increase made in the corporation income tax brackets will jridd approximately $600,000 a year additional revenue which, is with in $150,000 of the amount the appro priations now exceed the income as estimated in the revenue bill A num ber of the members of the senate furth er hold that the revenue bill will yield more than the present estimates, pointing to the fact that two years ago the appropriations exceeded foe revenue estimates considerably, but that there was a surplus of more than $1,000,000 at the end of the first year of the biennium. But there are others who take a far ess sanguine view of the situation, especially In the bouse. And these say that since every other source of revenue, has been blocked, that while the income tax is being increased, why not increase one-half of one per cent, in all the bracketa, and not in just the corporation income brackets alone, or else make it one per cent, instead of one-half of one per cent, and pro vide sufficient revenue for all pur poses. Thus while it is assured that the income tax will be the tax which will bear the burden of whatever increases are made, there is also a possibility that the Increase may be made more general, or that the increase may be enlarged beyond one-half of one per cent. i ___________ The assistant cashier of the Argen tine treasury enriched his own for ' tune by willing a million dollar prise in the Buenos Aires lottery.

A sixth baby still is in a serious condition but a seventh is apparent ly recovering. Three other babes also bad been fed of the acid solution but apparent ly have suffered no iU-effeets. The nurses arc Irene Schwartz and Aileen Callahan, on day duty and Margaret Cuff, night nurse. Miss Schwartz said that before going off duty last Saturday she made a fresh solution oL acid, used for ■ sterilizing purposes.

C. -Matmen by Sing) Point.—Culp Becomes Heavywrigh Champ.—Freshmen Lick AH Cans ! . era and Claim Title. - Durham, March 4. —After hav ing handed the Davidson Wihlcate a good licking in the last meet of the season, the Dnke University wrestling team holds undisputed claim to second place in this state, having been nosed I out. of the championship b.v the Uni* I versltj of North Carolina matmen. | The Blpe Devils loot their only state i contest” when, they allowed the Caro j Hna wrestling team to gain a scant ! 12 ta II win” over them early in the , season. j The Duke freshmen grapplers only j lost one contest during the season to : Carolina, but lay claim to the state j freshman wrestling title by virtue of ! an earlier and larger victory over the j Carolina fresh. In two contests with | N. C. State College first year men, the ! Blue Imps had an easy time in out j pointing the Techmen. j The varsity outfit, while not a* fast as the fresh, numbered some clever wrestlers. Culp, who won the Sontfa i ern heavyweight title this yeas by holding Miles of V. P. 1., for a time decision, was probably the shining star of the Bine Devils. Although Culp is not a flashy grappler he ,Ts a dependable man and was able to con tribute points for hi* team in every contest this season. He will captaiu the Blue Devils during the 1928 wrest ling season. The freshman outfit this year ids eluded two men with clean claims fort .'state honors. Starnes of the bantara LwelghV went through-the season with? 1 out a defeat. He is an aggressive wrestler and undoubtedly the strong est grappler on the Imp team. Starnes was recently elected to the honor of captaincy of the Blue Imps. In the light heavyweight Cole, Duke fresh man, lays claims to the state tit le. Cole lost only one mutch during Ibe season, this to the Carolina grappler on time decision. Earlier in the sea son, however, Cole pinned this Caro lina man. With the strong freshman materii) to strengthen them, the Duke univer sity matmen hope to form a team for the next Hcason that should be abh to make a record similar to those made by Duke teams several years ago when the old Trinity College Blue tights won the southern champion ship.

Mr. Wiibon is at a loss to know Why his dog took the notion to make a trip or why he picked the best possible accommoda tions in making it He thinks, though Carl didn’t tell him so, that the dog must have heard something of the proposed bill to prohibit dogs from sleeping in hotels, and bad started to Raleigh to con fer with members of the General Assembly about the “dog bill.” Bigham Trial March 18.

' THE COTTON MARKET Opened Steady at Decline of 3 to- 5 Points, March and October Declin ing 5 to 10 Points. New York, March 4.—OP)—The cot tou market opened steady today at a decline of 3 to 5 points under south ern hedging and locaj gclMjyi inspired by the easier'sfibtWWg Os LWWpoOI and reports of a less active demand for cotton cloth in Manchester.

(By International News Service) Berlin, March 2.—“ The Charleston mania of the modern German society woman is the cause of many divorces of higher class people,” said Dr. Frey, well known Berlin lawyer, whose ad vice and assistance is especially sought by prominent stage and screpn beau ties. “Charleston very often alienates the effections of serious men from their wives. However, at the same time, one of the most amazing features of modern divorce cases in Germany is the fact that very often the di vorced renews relations after some time has elapsed and every marry each other again. For instance, I know of a case where the man married his first wife for the third time. In some circles it is considered ‘smart’ not to sever relations with the di vorced husband or wife altogether. A call at an afternoon tea given by a charming hostess is often attended by the former divorced husband. “Also, i( is a remarkable feature of divorce eases that divorces of peo ple of a more or less advanced age have become a rule, nay these cases even outnumber divorces among the younger generation.” Mrs. W. A. Moss, of Great Yar mouth, England, who has just celebrat ed the fity-flfth anniversary of her marriage, is the last woman survivor ■ct the famous siege of Lucknow, in 1857.

Raleigh, Mar. 4.—The salary and wage commission is not goißg to be abolished, predictions of certain mal contents. chiefly in Raleigh, to the contrary. This was evidenced when the house voted by a large majority to kill the bill introduced l>y Representative Van. R. Martin of Washington that would have abolished the commission and put some of its duties upon the council of state. Thus the majority of the counties in the state gave their en dorsement to the work that has been done and is 'being done by the salary and wage commission. The bill had lieen killed by the committee on finance, with an un favorable report. But backers of the measure desired that a vote be taken on it. with the result that a motion to call if. from the unfavorable calen dar and place it on the regular calen dar prevailed Tuesday night, after the erronious report bad been <4r cu’.ated that Governor McLean was not opposed to the bill, since it gave to the Governor and council of state virtual’y the same powers as now possessed by the salary and wage commission. This report was quickly branded as false, however, when it reacted the care of the Governor m Thurs day, when he is underdfood to have told- a -number of the administration supporters that if the bltt was per mitted to pass even one rending, that he would personally go before the house with n special message re questing that the Martin bill be killed, and that the Salary and wage commission be continued as now constituted. It did not take long for the Gov ernor's real attitude toward the bill to become general’y known with the result that little time was con sumed in bringing it to its demise when it was reached on the house calendar. There lias been little interest in the bill one way or another, except in Raleigh, where a persistent lobby has been kept up for it on the part of a group of state employes, who have haunted the lobbies for weeks, button-holing legislators in an ef fort to get the bill tnrough. But the “economy legislators” refused to heed the wail of the empoyes. CANDLER GIRL HAS DISAPPEARED AGAIN Miss G'adys Sorrels, 19, —Who Tried to End Life Several Months Ago, Is Missing. Asheville, March 3.—Residents of I the Candler community are aroused as the resu’t of the mysterious dis appearance of Miss G’adys Sorrels, 19, who left her home Sunday and has not since been heard from. A sinister turn is given the affair by the fact that Miss Sorrel left home on one occasion several months ago and was discovered when she tried to end her life by drinking poison at Newton. Fear was ex pressed tonight that she had become depressed again ami had slipped away to make another attempt at suicide. A wide search is being con ducted by her friends and relatives and every effort is being made to solve the mystery that surrounds her disappearance. She apparently managed to slip away without being seen, for no one has beeu located who is able to re port seeing her since she was with members of the family on Sunday. Rumors of n romance with a rail road man were heard but relatives would not confirm this report.
