SENATORS FIGHT
ALL NIGHT OVER
"PORK BAR'L" BILL
Burton Leads Filibuster and
Continuous Session Is Held.
President Said to Favor
Cut.
WASHINGTON", Sept. 19.-In a desper
ftlo effort to hrenk down the opponents of
the rlveis and harbors bill earn Ins nn
appropriation of Jo3,000,000, the Senato
Democrats forced an all-night session.
Champions of the bill, led by Senators
Hhcppnrd, of Texas; Bryan, of Florida;
ltoblnson, of Arkansas, and Simmons, of
North Carolina, nre endeavoring to pre
vent the compromise on a 120,000.000 lump
uppioprlatlon, uhlcli Is under discussion
In tlio Commerces Committee.
A report that the. President has Indi
cated it desire for a bill not to exceed
J12.000.000 to 15,OUO,Ou0 was a bomb shell
anions friends of the mensuro In tho
Senate today. Worn out by their long
vigil they expressed disbelief that tho
President would li.ivo taken such a de
ckled stand without consulting Senators
on the committee.
"I do not bellco that the President
would take such action without consulting
me," said Senator Simmons.
One prominent Senator, who has played
a large part In lighting for the bill, de
clared thnt the President would have to
cto the bill or sign It ns passed by the
Senate, and that any effort which tho
White House might make at this tlmo
towards shaping the bill came too late to
be effective.
BURTON'S DETERMINED FIGHT.
Senator Burton had the floor from 5:55
Friday night until 6:05 this morning. In
that period of 12 hours and 10 mlnut3
four hours and a half were consumed
In rollcalls and various Interruptions.
Shortly nfter 6 this morning Senator
Kenyon took the floor and held It with
Interruptions for quorum calls until
8:40. At that hour there was a call for
a quorum and about 10 o'clock Senator
Burton, who had had an hour's sleep
nnd breakfast, resumed. Ho seemed in
good form, though his voice wns husky.
Tho whole Senato was in u bad tem
per. Tho advocates of tho bill were still
bent on holding the Senate In session
until a vote could be forced and motions
to adjourn were repeatedly voted down.
Whenever It was rosslble during the
long and exhausting session tho filibus
ters demanded a quorum call and tho
speakers enjoyed brief rests. Several
times calls for a quorum failed to de
velop a sudlclent number of Senators
nnd a squad of deputy sergeant-at-arms
bearing writs of arrest were sent out In
taxicabs to bring in the absentees. Sen
ator James Hnmllton Lewis, tho Demo
cratic whip of the Senate, was hauled
from his bed at the Army and Navy
Club by a deputy, after the latter had
threatened to arrest servants at the club
because they refused to disturb Senator
Lewis.
Senator Burton spoke slowly during the
long hours of the night, evidently saving
his strength. Ho soon discarded his
frock coat and got into an alpaca Jacket,
and replaced his shoes for bedroom slip
pers In this costume ho plodded up and
down, pointer In hand, before a number
of maps to which ho now and then re
ferred. Tho determined cffoic to near Burton
and his friends out was best Illustrated
Just after Burton surrendered the floor
temporarily at B o'clock lid's morning. Ho
was attempting to get over to his ofllce
for a nap when arrested by a deputy
serve.int-at-arms, and haled before tho
Penato to help constitute a quorum. He
had enjoed one little nap, however. In
tho President's room during one of the
quorum calls last night. After a short
nan this morning he went to the Senate
restaurant for breakfast.
SENATOR WILLIAMS WHISTLES.
In tho Interval between the call for a
quorum nnd the completion of the call,
the chamber was practically deserted.
Senator Ashurst, who occupied the chair,
was forced ot one time to call Senator
Willis ma to order because he whistled,
"Hw Dry I am" In the chamber.
Senator Burton forced a vote on a mo
tion to recommit the bill with Instruc
tions to strlko out many of the Items.
The vote showed 41 to 7 against the mo
tion to recommit.
After Senator Kenyon took the floor
this morning, he forced a call for a
quorum and during the milt Senator
Runidell proposed that the Wgeant-at-arms
be directed to request the attend
ance of nil Senators now out of the
city, an tho earlier orders had applied only
to those in the city. Senator Kenyon en
deavored to havo on amendment Inserted
excepting those Senators who aro en
gaged In political campaigns. The Hans
dell motion was agreed to. how ever, with
out the Kenyon amendment.
SENATORIAL ENDURANCE TEST
The tight was actually an endurance
contest, with Burton as the leading foe
oi tho Democrats, who forced tho all
night session in an effort to break the
filibuster through physical exhaustion or
Burton is leader of the oppositlun.
Democratic Senator took ".shifts" In
presiding. They "spelled" oach other as
president of tho Senate, working In re.
lain to avoid fatigue.
Tho ull-nlnht filibuster was the first '
continuous night session since the "Justi
tkstlon" resolution last spring when the
Mexican situation was before tho Sen
ate Burton's Mbuater rivaled in length '
and tenaclt) the famous 17-hour speech
of .Stnatur La Follette several years ago.

Tlie Prlnz Oskar sailed down the river

There wero no passengers on the Prlnz

went on a vacation. Whnt could a flrst
class chef like Jo.seph Wcstormeler do?
Ho made beef stews for the crow, but
the scullery boy could do that. No one
would complain or offer congratulations.
It was then that the chef of tho Prlnz
Oskar had a thought. He remembered
that he had a brother. He searched his

ORANG-OUTANGS PASS
CENSORSHIP. AT ZOO
Villa and Sylvia Declared Tree of
Tubercular Ailment.
Villa, of Borneo, nnd his mnto Sylvia,
the orang-outangs purchased by the Zoo
logical Garden a little less than two
months ago, havo now passed the health
censor at the Zoo and nre regular mem
bers of society there. Although members
of the higher npe families aro difficult to
raise In this climate, authorities at tho
Zoo now believe that this pair will live
at least five years.
Tho animals were purchased from
Louis Rhue, a Now York animal dealer,
who got them from tho engineer and
boatswain of a tramp steamship. They
came to the local Zoo June 22, nnd wero
Immediately Isolated for observation.
Such animals aro specially susceptible to
tubercular Infection, but Dr. Herbert Fox,
tho Zoo pathologist, Is now assured that
Villa nnd Sylvia aro sound of lung.
Tho orang-outangs will bo placed on
exhibition with the chimpanzee about Oc
tober 1. Villa, the male, la equipped with
a coat of coarso red, brown nnd black
hair, while Sylvia's coat la of the same
coloring, but finer.
Superintendent Carson, of tho Zoo, Is
surrounding tho pair with every safe
guard to prevent n repetition of what
happened nt the Brcnx Zoo, In New
York, whero the entlro collection was
wdped out by tuberculosis. In addition
to being perfectly matched as to size, the
nrangs nro well mated and so far their
domestic affairs havo not been murred bv
a single "scrap." Tho exact sum paid
for tho pair haB not been divulged, but
Is said to bo high. Each animal Is two
years old. Tho formation of their hands
and flnger-nnlls compares well with the
human hand.
