WASHINGTON, May 21).
(Pi The first nesaion of the
seventieth congress adjourned
at 5; 30 o'clock today, in ful
fillment of prearranged plans.
The final navel fell simultane
ously In both houses.
W AS I II N (ITO X , May 29 . (P)
Congress definitely decided to j
quit work at 5:30 p. m. today,
with the house and senate approv
ing, a resolution setting that time
an the adjournment hour.
Twenty-five democrats joined
with -21 republicans in supporting
the adjournment1 resolution, while
10 democrats, 1 S republicans and
the one farmer-labor. Shipstead,
voted against adoption. .
Senators MeNary and Steiwer,
Oregon, voted against adjourn
ment. The house vote was 155 to 9.
Ashurst immediately offered a
minur amendment to the Moulder
dam bill in order to hold th
floor and launched into another
general attack on the proposed
legislation.
WASHINGTON, May 29. ex
changing its mind after an all
.night session, the senate today
adopted a resolution calling for the
adjournment of congress at 5:30
p. m. The house is expected - to
concur promptly. .
All night long the senate remain
e"o""nT session part of thr' lime
with. hardly a quorum present, and
during the wee sma' hours, with
only two senators on the floor
Johnson of California on one side
and Ashurst of Arizona on the
other.
Ashurst with the aid of his col
league, Hayden. was conducting o
filibuster against Johnson's bill to
construct a dam across the Colo
rado river at BouhVer canyon. He
talked until midnight when he got
a respite. Senator Itingham, re
publican, Connecticut, called for a
quorum. Only 41 senators were
on the floor, seven less than a quo
rum, the sergeanl-at-arms was
able to round up three members
wi:hin an hour. Johnson then
moved that the sergeant-at-arms
be directed to "compel" attendance
of absentees.
Ottlllng results from' his second
Henreh, under thn ''compel" at
tendance orders, Sergeant-at-Arms
Harry rounded up enough absentees
by 2 a. m. to make a quorum, then
Ashurst resumed his tirade.
Wearying of talking on Boulder
dam, but desiring still to hold the
floor, Ashurst moved at 2:25 that
the Renate proceed to consideration
of the hill by Senator Johnson to
construct a bridge across San Fran
cisco bay. Johnson made a point
of 'order on the motion, but was
overruled.
When the ayes nnd .nays were
called the Ashurst motion was de
feated, whereupon Senator Ed
wards, democrat, N,ew Jersey, ask
ed for another quorum call. Thirty
seven senators answered the call
and the sergeant-at-arms was ask
ed to go out after more.
The body finally settled down to
a watchful waiting policy. At 3
o'clock only Ashurst was on the
democratic side and Johnson on
the republican side.
This picture prevailed until after
the first rays of daylight shown
through the windows of the cap
Itol. Ashurst wore a green eyeshade
nnd his' head dropped almost to
his chest an he took an occasional
snoozp. Johnson sat nervously
crossing his legs and now and then
he would walk up to the desk to
hear the latest report from the
sei geant-at-arms, w ho continued
his calls nt the homes of absent
senators.
At 4:30 a. m. Senator 1,41 FolP-tt"
came Into the chamber to relieve
Johnson from the watch for a few
minute. Ashurst was sleeping and
Bb-nse amused tho few spectators
till In the galleries by whistling
Imitation of birds.
The cloakrooms were dark, as
were the halls about the chamber,
and every available lounge or table
was In use by the sleep. neglected
senators.
At 6:20 o'clockVSenator Borah.

chamber. Borah had spent mot

29. (P) None of the dozen mem
bers of General Noblle's expedition
remaining hero received any mos
nago today on tho rumor that the

Inland. Furthermore, none of
them believed the report could be
true, .
The course of the wind last Fri
day morning, when the dirigible
disappeared made it Impossible fur
her to reach that island..

one of tho leaders in tho prepa

was highly doubtful of tho re
port and went ahead with his
plans for an nit reeonnaiasunce
over northern Spitsbergen, soon
to he made by Lieutenant I.uel

Lieutenant Holm arrived nt
Tromsoe with a navul hydro-airplane
this morning and Immedi
ately began loading his plane
aboard tho scaler Hobby, which
will carry It to Spltzbergen un
quickly us possible. Captain Itii-Hor-Larsen
hoped that tho Hobby
would be ablo to leave for Spits
bergen within a few hours nnd
that she would reach King's Day
toward tho end of the wfek.
The captain is of the opinion
that tho dirigible probably came
down somewhere on tho ice north
