WILSONWATCHESEND President lilumm Senatora for f)f structing XimmIciI Appropriutlona - More Than $U,00O,00O,04M AskeI for Is I)i.srej;ariliHl. (By United Prem to The Bend Bulletin.) WASHINGTON, D. C, March 4. Congress died at noon today, stran gled by a filibuster. As the final gave! fell it cut short the speech begun at 7:30 o'clock by Senator Sherman, which blocked the transaction of all business. All roads led to the senate end of the capitol this morning, for it was there that the filibuster was main tained all night and through the final hours of what was one of the most tumultuous sessions of an American congress. It was there that President Wilson, with a trace of anger in his eye and a set jaw, but wearing his usual smile at times, signed last minute bills. The president later Issued a statement to the nation, blaming the senators who "obstructed" the pass age of appropriation bills in order to impair the efficiency of the gov ernment, which he said would result while he Is in Paris. Important Bills Die. The last legislative act of the congress was a squabble in the sen ate over a resolution providing clerks for representatives. While this was being debated, great departmental appropriation bills totalling more than $2,600,000,000 were slowly dying. The president, who was 50 feet away while the senate amused a huge crowd with Its parliamentary man oeuvers, had asked that the big bills be passed. They died as he left the capitol to return to the white house. Senate republicans this morning continued their defiance of the demo cratic demand for the passage of ap propriation bills. After an all night session, Sherman announced that un less he dropped dead the general de ficiency bill carrying $750,000,000 . for the railroads would not pass. Semite Scene of Holdup. An all night filibuster was the final republican attempt to force Presi dent Wilson to change his mind about delaying an extra session un til his return from France. When Speaker Clark learned of the situa tion in the senate he said that unless the railroad appropriation is ap proved today an extra session must be called tomorrow. He said that thlB Is Imperative, if financial dis aster Is to be averted. It seemed certain this morning that practically every measure asked by Wilson, with the exception of the Victory loan Dill, would be left un passed when the session ends this noon. , SHEVLIN-HIXON WINS IN INDOOR BASEBALL llusltiess Men Take Short Eml f" 2JI-M Score .Next Guinc ill Series to He Tomorrow Nilit.
