POSTAL BILL IS SETTLED
Following Adoption of. Conference
Report by Senate, Act Is Pre
pared for Submission to
President at Once.
WASHINGTON'. March J. Over,
shadowed by the enthusiasm attending
the arrival of a Democratic President
elect and the holding of a suffrage
carnival, the 62d Congress began today
to say Its farewells and to prepare for
- the termination of Its business at noon
tomorrow.
By a fiction of long standing, the
"legislative day" of Jtfarch 8 will run
. through tonight and terminate shortly
before nopn tomorrow with the Im
pressive ceremonies attending the in
auguration of Vice-President Marshall.
Retiring members who have been in
Congress for a score or more years
bade goodbye to their colleagues to
night and cleaned out their desks for
the exodus from the capital. Scores of
Senators and Representatives who- are
to come into office tomorrow, mingled
throughout the day with their future
associates of the two houses and took
mental stock of their environment and
friends in the new Democratic Con
gress. Veterans Are Bidden Farewell.
Ex-peaker Cannon and Senator
Shelby M. Cullom, veterans of many
Congresses; Representatives Nicholas
1-ongworth. John Dalzell, John Lamb,
Samuel W. McCall; Senators Crane, Dix
on, . Bourne and others who have been
prominently identified with legislation
in recent years, were the recipients of
farewell greetings from their associ
ates. The House spent a few moments In
eulogising Representative Lamb, of
Virginia, who has been chairman of
the agricultural committee for the last
., two years, the friendly demonstration
being led by Republican Leader Mann.
Both houses recessed at S o'clock to
night, the Senate for two hours and the
House for three. They were prepared
to sit well through the night if neces
sary to dispose of conference reports
on appropriation bills, but it was be
lieved late in the evening that both
houses would be able to recess for a
few hours during the early morning.
Fights Are Threatened.
Six appropriation bills remained in
dispute when the evening sessions be
gan and serious flghts were threatened
over the two-battleship programme in
the naval bill and over the Indian,
public building, executive and sundry
civil bills.
Uistingulshed visitors appeared to
day on the floors of both houses. Gov
ernors Sulser of New York, Cox of Ohio
and McCreary of Kentucky among
them. Senator-elect Vardaman, of
Mississippi, was a picturesque figure in
tho Senate in the afternoon session.
Senators-elect Norrls of Nebraska,
Jamea of Kentucky, Ramsdell of Louis
iana and Weeks of Massachusetts, all
present members of the House, held
little receptions to their colleagues to
night and packed their books and pa
.pers preparatory to moving to the other
end of the Capitol.
Love Keast Held.
Ill a general political love feast to
night the Republicans of the House
presented a watch to Representative
.lames R. Mann, of lLllnois, the minority
leader, and the Democrats presented a
silver fruit dish to Charles R. Crisp,
parliamentary clerk, who enters the
next House as 'a member from Geor
gia. A recess of 15 minutes was taken
by the House to allow time for the
presentation.
The Senate adopted the conference
, report on the postoffice bill by a vote
of 47 to 12, without making any change
in the railroad mail pay or the "blue
tag" provision. As the measure had
boon approved by the House, it was
prepared at once for submission to the
President.
The Senate then took up the public
buildings bill in another effort to pass
that measure as It came from the con
ference committee.
The galleries of the Senate and House
were tilled with spectators at midnight.
The House passed tonight the Wilson
Seamen's bill as amended by the Senate.
The bill now goes to the President for
his signature The measure provides
strict regulations for the hours of labor
of sailors, and food and compensation
on vessels, and Includes a provision that
officers must be able to make members
ot a crew understand orders. The bill
is the result of agitation that followed
the Tltanio disaster.
Agreement Not Reached.
Another effort to secure an agree
ment by the House to the Senate
amendment to the naval appropriation
bill providing for two battleships, and
thus break the deadlock In conference
on the measure, failed shortly after
. midnight. The House conferees re-
- ported a disagreement and Representa
tive Foss, of Illinois, moved that the
House agree to the two-battleship
proposition. Majority Leader Under
wood led the debate against the two
battleship amendment.
On a roll call the House voted to In
sist on its one-battleship provision IS
to 144. The House requested a further
conference.
All attempts to enact the workmen's
compensation bill were abandoned in
the State. Senator Sutherland, in
rliarge of the bill,- assured Senator
Hoke Smith, opposed to the measure,
that he considered it futile to press the
bill and would not do so.

were forced to drop out from time to

"General" Jones Get Ovation.
The greatest ovation, probably, was
given to "General" Rosalie Jones, who
ed her little band ot "hikers Horn
New York over rough roads and
through snow and rain to march for the
cause. "General Jones was radiant.
She carried a great bunch of American
beauty roses, which made a splash of

hooded tramping gown.
When the women assembled in Con

Wilson after hia inauguration tomor

gress a thorough investigation of the
causes, for the "poor police protection."
which would have been a disgrace to
any city, but which was doubly so
here." with a further demand that the
responsible authorities be punished for
their indifference and negligence.
The opening address by Dr. Anna
Shaw, president of the National Ameri
can Women's Suffrage Association, was
a bitter excoriation of the police.
' Need of Ballot Cited. .
."Never was I so- ashamed of our
National capital before." she said. "If
anything could prove the need of the
ballot, nothing could prove it more than
the treatment we received today The
women in the parade showed wonderful
dignity and self respect by keeping
cool in the midst of Insults and lewd
remarks. Hoodlums were given pos
session of the streets here today with
out eny adequate attempt being made
to protect us."
Oswald Garrison Villard, of New
York, grandson of William Lloyd Gar
dlson. at the conclusion of Dr. Shaw's
address, read the resolution which she
had suggested In ber speech; calling
for congressional Investigation and it
was adopted amid cheers.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. president
of the International Suffrage Associa
tion, declared that members of Con
gress should demand an Investigation.
Many of the men along the line, she
declared, "were drunk enough for the
'lockup." In no other Nation but Swit
zerland, she said, nave the women been
forced to take their appeal for the vote

tory today when, after more than 600
women marched to the statehouse,
swarmed onto the floors of the Senate
and argued their cause with cornered
legislators. Senator Grube introduced a
joint resolution to amend the state
constitution to grant women full suf
frage. From the Senate the women
went to the House and there stopped
the proceedings while they made their
pleas. Here, however, they were less
suocessful than in the upper house, for
but little attention was paid them.
The women, who asked that the state
constitution be amended so as to strike
out the word "male" in the clause pre
scribing qualifications of voters, first
found Governor Ralston upon entering
the statehouse. A few minutes later
the state's executive was adorned with
a large badge upon which was printed
"Votes for women." After enlisting the
Governor in their cause, the women,
who scorned the elevators, rushed up
the stairs to the Senate chamber. They
crowded onto the floor, buttonholed the
Senators and presented their argu
ments to the men who were unable to
leave.
It took Senator Grube only a few
minutes to be convinced of tho justice
of the cause and his resolution was in
troduced. The women then departed.
SXTFRAGISTS ARE EJECTED
London Speaker Says He Will Take
Tio Chance of Anyone Being Hurt.
LONDON. March 3. Af tier several suf
fragettes had been ejected tonight from
a meeting at Battersea at which John
Burns, president of the Local Govern
ment Board, was speaking, he requested
all women to leave the ball. Mr. Burns
announced several days ago that in bis
present campaign in behalf of the Pro
gressive candidates for the London
County Council, he was going to do
his best to break down the- "tyranny
of organized blackguardism."
He explained tonight that In the
present state of hostile feelings against
militant disturbers of meetings they
were apt at the present time to ,get
badly hurt and he did not propose to
allow extremists to play their game
at the possible cost of life and limbs;
therefore, to prevent anything serious
happening, it was best for all the wom
en to retire.
After they had done so Mr. Burns
finished his speech without interrup
tion, except on the part of one male
suffragist, who was removed.

BAKER. Or, March S. (Special.)
Colonel w. G. Ayer, the capitalist of

This was the word received today
by Attorney O. B. Mount, in a letter
from Mr. Ayer written some time after
the report was sent out that he had
taken a bride at that place on the trip
around the world.
Mr. Ayer says the story insinuating
that he had become - a benedict waa
merely the practical Joke of some of
his friends.
