Washington, Oct. 24.- Congress ad

"Southern Democrats, blocked In at

the senate and house, gave up their
filibuster and consented to adjourn

By moving the clock ahead, the sen
ate and house both "jumped" the ad

house adjourned at 3:21 and tna senate
six minutes later although "official-

session came at four.
All records for continuous sessions
were broken today. Congress has been
practically continuously in session

next regular "short session" begins

Early in the day any adjournment
agreement seemed hopeless. Repre
sentative Henry in the house and
Hoke Smith in the senate, held out
firmly, declaring that a number of
measures , should be passed for the
relief of tho cotton planters. They
declared their intention of demand
ing quorum if any attempt to ad
journ was mncie. The house lacked
over 100 of having a quorum, while
the senate lacked about 20.
Finally the proposal was made to
adjourn Monday at six o'clock. At
Hoke Smith's suggestion' a recess was
taken of about two hours to permit
-conferences. The house took the sarne
action, whereupon the cotton filibus
tered heldfA conference.
Finding themselves in such small

United States Senator Lane re
turned to Portland last night from
Washington, where he has been for
the last 20 months attending his
congressional duties.
With congress already preparing to
adjourn when he left Tuesday, he
said he hurried back to Oregon to
work for the re-election of United
States Senator George E. Chamber

J. Smith, Democratic nominee for
governor, and A. F. Flegel, the party s
nominee for congress, and others.
. Senator Lane declared that Chamber
lain should be returned to the senate
without fall.
"Not only should he be reelected In
recognition of the splendid work he
has done in behalf of Oregon and
Alaska and the part he has played in
national progressive legislation," said
Lane, "but because President Wilson
needs the support of men who will hold
up his hands in the present grave crisis
and work for and defend the presi

'This election Is of very great im
