The resolution docs not bind sena?ors to vole for the bills without ehrnge. TNi resolution is designed'to rerv ; definite and finul notice to business . nd tile country that anti-trust legis lation 's to be passed before congres-' (tuits Washington, lt wus proposed by Senator Stone after a talk with President Wilson and with other dem ocratic leaders. Senator Stone said it was intended as an answer to the propaganda for immediate adjourn ment of congress. Par*y Measures. If party -leaders decide in tho fu ture that it will be ecessnry to make party measures of the t iree house bills or the substitutions offered f,or them, another conference will b s held for thc purpose of binding democrats to definite legislation. Some senators thought the resolution might bind senators to vote for the bills but Sen ator Kern, chairman of tho conference declared such was not its purpose and a clause stating this in specific terms was adopted. The resolution says: "Resolved, that the confort nee of democratic senators after due consid eration, hereby declares th??, the pres ent session of congress s'-nuM not adj ?P^rj^ulojUl?At?east ??e-foBo wi tte MI>? how pending' in the senate have been finally dispose! of." I Include Antf.Trust. I It names the trade commission, the railroad securities and the Clayton an ti-trust bills as Lite measures to be in cluded. Th? explanatory clause at tached to the resolution reads: "Tho resolution hereinbefore adopt ed is intended merely as an expres sion of the purpose of the majority party In reference to adjournment." Senators, who hope to get away from Washington within six weeks-or tv??, months comfort In thc announ.emcnt from the conferonccj that Senator Horn, Majority Leader, will ask the Senate to hold night servions next week.

The conference was harmonious Several Senators expressed dissatis faction with provisions in some of the bills, but it wai' made clear no one was bound to vote for any particular bill. The only Indication that there was a marked division of sentiment came when the clause was proposed explaining that the resolution refers to adjournment. It was adopted 17 to 16, Its friends declared lt was of fered to mane plain tha action, to act on trust legislation and without bind ing anyone to a particular form. There was a general discussion as to wnein er the resolution should include lan guage declaring the bills to bc party measures, but it was decided to leavo this question for further conferences. Originally it was 'ntended that the resolution declare that the congress stay until tho "passage" of the bills, but this was changed to read "dispos al." Tho argument for this change was that, passage mig^t be taken to mean the .'.bree house hills must be ones to receive senate approval and "disposal," would leave 'senators freo to do aa they pleased School Picnic The former pupils of Calhoun or Shady Grove school are cordially In vited to attend a picnic on the school grounds on Saturday afternoon.

Tho governor would then have a betjer business." x .'This speaker also took Senator Smith to task for his failure to In dict Bleaselsm. "How leas will he keep silent," the speaker asked "I don't know wheth-i er he endorses Blease's record or not. j He hasn't yet said anything in this] direction. I believe that its his duty, too to show that Blease is not flt to go to the United States Senate.

"These are the ?rum of the earth the. riff-raff that drift into charleston and herded together and were voted' like sheep by'Vincent Chlcca and James Sottile" Mr. Pollock explained. "They don't know a word of English they can't even sign their names. They haven't a dollar.

It was while Mr. Jennings was de fending the primary ruleB and ex plaining that lt was the undesirable fraudulent vote that was to be dis franchised, when some on called out "they were all on your side, we didn't need them."

He had been (wilted earlier in the day by each speaker, saying that the Lever colton exchange bill had laen substituted- for the Smith bill. The senator made a good point by reading the associated pr?ss dispatch that the senate declined to accepted the I^ever Hill as mhatitu*.?; the sen ator also swept the audience when he. "came back" at Mr. Pollock who gleefully reminds each audience that lt ha-j cost the government almost1 $1,000 a pound to fatten Senator Smith.

Mr Pollock was also likened to Lin coln's boat on tho Mississippi "which had such a big whistle and such a little boiler that lt had to stop to blow." The audience today was made up largely of ramiers and senator Smith's cotton talk carried thc au dience with him. Chauffeur Stunt. Lancaster, July 1,- Gov.
