passed hills on tariff alone that would

Wo submitted n constitutional
amendment for tho direct election of

Intended to ntop tho unduo use of

Starts Talking Measure to Death
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.IIotiso
and sennto recessed unlit G p. m.
Expected congress certainly ad
journ tonight.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24, Just
when the senate was about to agree
thin afternoon on a resolution calling
for an Investigation which would de
velop whatever tnlnt of Standard Oil
monoy there might bo In campaign
contributions since 1904 and throw
light on charges that certain legis
lators received gifts of money from
thn oil trust. Senator Heyb-rn of
Idaho Btnrted a one-man filibuster.
Senators Penrosoof Pennsylvania
nnd Polndcxter of Washington had
framed a resolution authorizing tho
senate campaign contributions com
mittee headed by Senator Clapp ot
Minnesota, to probo certain charges
voiced on the floor of tho senate.
Senator Hcybiirn was on his fcot In
nn instant.
"Tho senate," he declared, "should
not open up the, sewers of political
contests."
.Dcsplto efforts of other senators
to dislodge htm, Ileyburn held tho
floor. It was plain that Senator
Ileyburn hoped to forco final ad
journment without the adoption ot
tho resolution.
Defofo Senator Hoyburn started
his filibuster, Pqlndexter called up
tho Penroso resolution and moved
an amendment extending the ipower
of the Clapp Investigating commit
tee to probe all financial transactions
and correspondence passing between
John D. Archbold and members ot
congress from 1904 up to the pres
ent time.
The amendment means an Investi
gation ot charges that tho Standard
Oil Company manipulated political ,
control through payment of monoy to.
legislators. Tho amendment also au
thorized tho committee to employ
counsel. The motion was adopted.
Senator Penroso suggested an
amendment covering the Investiga
tion ot correspondence and financial
transactions "between George W.
Perkins and formor president ot tho
United States."
This motion precipitated a bitter
debate as to whother funds wore
available for tho Inquiry.
