CONGRESS FINISH]
.ITS
Unless Grave Emergency Arises 1II
Not Meet Until December. Record
of Failure Declares Garrett.
'Washington, June .--Il'ho Sixty
sixth congress ended its second ses
sion today, adjourning sine die at 4 p.
m. Unless a grave emergency arises
which makes necessary a special ses
slon, It will not meet again until De
cember 6.
The close of the session was marked
by nodb of t'he hectic rush that gen
erally attends a getaway of congress,
but there was the usual applauding
and cheering In the house chamiber
after Speaker Gillett's gavel had re
leased the members for the flirt long
vacation congress has had since the
United States entered the war.
The 'house cleaned up Its work early
in the day and twice recessed to await
possible senate action on pending
measures. The senate remained in
continuous session and, as the result
of a small sized -filibuster there, the
bill to establish a national budget sys
tem failed of passage.
Final sessions of both houses passed
without the plethora of political
speeches which had been expected by
many since congress was quitting on
the eve of the national political con
ventions. Just at the finish Represen
tative ..londell of Wyoming, the llejub
lican leader, delivered an address
praising congress for the work accom
plished at, this session. Representa
tive Garrett, Democrat, Tennessee, re
i)lied, declaring that -this congress had
been a "humiliating failure."
The nearest thing to a political
speech in the senate was an attack by
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio, on
the contingent expense committee for
delaying in reporting his resolution
proposing an investigation by the elec
tions committee into expenditures in
the forthcoming presidential and con
gressional campaigns. He declared
that the Democrats would not and the
Republicans could not say to the peo
ple that it was none of their business
where campaign funds came from or
how they were expended. The resolu
tion was adopted without a record vote.
President iWilson's criticism in his
telegram today to the heads of the rail
roa(I brotherhoods also passed without
cenimment in 6ither houise.
Practically the only action by the
house during the (lay was to pass the
budget bill after amending it to meet

ed by hhn under the measure.
Republicans abandoned their plan to
call for a vote on the resolution re
fusing 'President Wilson's request for
authQrity to accept a mandate over
Armenia., The measure had already
been adopted -by the senate. 'Chair
man Porter, In a formal statement,
said Democratic .inembers of the house
would have blocked transaction of all

brought u1p.

his entire time to signing bills. Some
measures enaoted, however, were not
reached by him !before the hour of ad
journient and automatically !became
dead under the law prohibiting the ex
ecutive from passing on legislation
while congrea is not in session.
The exodus of senators and repre
sentatives began almost immediately
after adjournment and will continue
tomorrow and Monday. Many of the
Republicans of both houses are 'head
ed for Chicago to attend their party
convention -there. Some of the Dem
ocratic mombers also will attend that
convention, but most of them will rc
turn home to await the time for going
to San Francisco for their party con
vention.
The house was in a restless mood
throughout the (lay and efforts of
imany members to have taken up spec
ial bills in which t-hey were interested
failed. In tie last half hour the house
settled down to give close attention
to the addresses of ,Representatives
Mondell and Garrett.
Mr. Mondell declared that this con
gress in its two sessions had made a
saving of $'2,374,460,817. Eight appro
priation bills that passed -the house In
the sixty-1iftoh congress, but failed in
tle selnate fillbuster -were reduced
$940,5l0,598, Mr. Alondell said, and the
estimates submitted by the govern
ment del)armcnts for the next fiscal
year were reduced by $1,433,850,218.
Several laws were cited by Mr. Mon
dell as "constituting a record unequal
ed in American history." lie included
the transportation act, the woman suf
frage amendment, the merchant ma

"Take it all in all, the record of the
congress is one of which every mem
ber may well be proud," declared '\r.
Mondell. "It is a record that com
mends the congress to the favorable
Judgmenit of the American people."
Referring to the Reiu'blican ap
plause while' followed Air. 'Mondell's
spee'ch, Mr. Garrett said the Repub
lican leader 'had spoken "to the only
audience In the United States where
his speech could receive applause."
He declared it was "absurd" to say
that the work of this congress "mneas
ured upl) to any of the past."
Turning to the Republican si(e, Mr.
(Carrett coltinued: "Yu seldom
paused in the midst of doing nothing,
exce(pt to (10 something worse."
liteclaring that this congress had
been "anl absolute, humiliating and
shameful failure," Air. Garrett said no
new tax hws except "sone bunk pop
gun measures" had been passed and
that the re(iuctoln of estimates which
the Republicans called savings had
been made by every congress in the
last 25 years.
''We ca'inot concur," conlluied .\lr.
Garrett, "in i wo1rd of prW.te. because
in spirit you know and the country
knows this congress has been a hunil
lating failure."
