(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug 26 —At the
end of a three days' figlit in which
Senator LaFollette's threat of a con-
tinued filibuster hung over the senate
to force consideration, that body to-
day passed the Penrose resolution
(ailing for a complete Investigation
ot the campaign contributions of John
l> Archbold and George W. Perkins
and of all "flnaclal transactions and
correspondence relating thereto be-
tween the two financiers and Colo-
nel Theodore Roosevelt, representa-
tives congress and members of the
kenate of the United States."
' ibjectlons to the resolution died
out iu the final hours of the session.
When the senate met at noon, it had
been mutually agr ed that no opposi-
tion would be made to Senator l.a-
Follette's request for ac tion Baaed
on the charges made by Senator Pen-
loss that the Standard Oil company
had contributed 1100,000 to the
Roosevelt fund In 11*04, the resolu-
tion had been amended by Senator"
Poindexter and Penrose to cover re-
spectively all the activities of Mr
Archbold and ilr. Perkins of a po-
litical naUire.
The resolution, once before the
senate, passed with little discussion
and with no votes In the negative,
t "tie Important change made gives
witnesses the right to have attorneys
at the hearings before the senate
committee. Senator Clapp, chairman
of the sub-committee which will con-
duct the Investigation, said today that
his committee probably would not re-
convene before Sept. 30.
Senator Clapp today asked Chair-
wan Dillingham of the committee on
privileges and elections to appoint an-
other democratic member to take the
place of Senator Paynter on the sub-
committee. Senator Dillingham had
already designated Senator Pomerene
of Ohio to take the place of Senator
Lea of Tennessee, who resigned. Sen-
ator Paypter has notified Senator
Clafcp that he can not serve longer.
'There wan a general understand-
ing among the members of the com-
mittee. Senator Clapp said tonight,
"that if the Penrose resolution passed
we would resume our Investigation at
the end of September. The passage
of the resolution will make no ma
terlal change in our plans except to
widen somewhat the scope of the in-
quiry."
Senator LaFoilette stated he in-
tended to make public a complete
schedule of his expenses as a candi-
date for the republican nomination
for president. This statement, be
eald, would embrace practically all in-
formation that he could give on the
witness stand before the senate com-
mittee, but the Wisconsin senator ex-
pects to appear before the commit-
tee.
Senator Clapp stated that It had not
been decided at what time Col. Roose-
velt would appear or what other wit-
nesses would testify.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2« —Congress

by Senatos Warren and Representa-

It is conceded by both the leaders
that this is (1,744,000 less than tne

Representative Cannon declared
that out of the general total should
be taken all expenditures made for
the Panama canal. With such de-
ductions, he said, the total appropria-
tions for 1913 would be 1990,606,143
as compared with a total of I9S1,-

purposes last year.
Predictions that the government
would face a heavy deficit at the end
of the year were made by both Sen-
ator Warren and Kepresentatlve Can-
non. Senator Warren said President
Taft and his cabinet had carefully re-
duced estimates to the lowest fig-
ures. The appropriations actually
made were over (21,000,000 less than

declare it will be Impossible for the

WASHINGTON, Aug 26.—Within
an hour after the adjournment of

his private car bound for Beverly and
a vacation he expects will be broken
but little until December. The whUe
house tonight practically was desert-

of getting away tonight when he left
the executive offices at lunche >n
time. When he was informed that
there was a good chance of adjourn-
ment he ordered his automobile
brought to the white house door tin
mediately, and as soon as luncheon
was finished hurried to the capltol.
Only a few resolutions and bills
were awaiting his signature, and
many senators and congressmen drop-
ped in to say goodbye.
Secretary of the Treasury Mac-
V'eagh and Postmaster General Hitch-
cock were two cabinet officers left In

the president's room. His pleasure
at the prospect of getting away was

dent frequently. He signed the last
bill laid before him with a flourish
and a sigh of satisfaction.

that anybody challenges I'll be loaded
for him "

"They can have anything I've got at
an time. 7'hey are welcome to any
letter 1 have ever written to any hu
man being on the subject."
This was Colonel Roosevelt's only
comment tonight on the senate's
adoption of the Penrose resolution,
directing an inquiry Into the Arch-
bold- Penrose- Roosevelt controversy
over campaign contributions. The
news reached hiin as he was playing
a losing tennis game with his sons.
He halted long enough to glance at
the evening papers, commented again
on the visit to him yesterday of Wil-
liam Loeb, Jr., had a few words to
say concerning W R. Hearst's state-
ment in London and went back to re.
trleve his game with the racquet.
"You know, I didn't direct Loeb to
go down to Washington," he said
"Mr. Loeb came to me. He told me
that he had seen statements in the
newspapers that he would be called
upon to testify beore the committee
inasmuch as he had been my private
secretary he thought he ought to
speak to me before going down -o
Washington.
"I told him to go ahead and testl
fy to everything he could remember."
Colonel Roosevelt chuckled as he
read the newspapers. He stopped ab
ruptly in readng. "1 could thank
Archbold and Penrose for what th*y
have done. They have rendered me a
real service," he said.
There is one thing that Colonel
Roosevelt usks the correspondents
to make clear each time they vialt
him. That is, that he does not gay
the Standard Oil company did not
contribute $100,000 to his campaign
fund In 1904, but that he did not
know of any such contribution, and
that If It was given his campaign
managers received It In violation cf
his explicit instructions.
The letter which Colonel Roose-
velt is writing is to Senator Clapp,
chairman of the senate Investigating
committee, was not finished tonight
and he said he did not know when

Raid on Webber's Plai-e.
(By Associated Press)
New York, Aug 26.—The gambling
house on 42nd street, formerly occu
pled by "Brldgte" Webber, where the
Rosenthal murder is believed to have
been planned, was raided tonight by
Police Inspector Dwyer, successor to
Inspector C. J. Hayes, recently re
duced to the rank of captain by Com-
missioner Waldo. Although Webber,
confessed accomplice In the murder,
Is In jail, the place has been running
for some weeks as an incorporated
"poker club" by some of "Brldgie's"
friends, It is said.
After two of Dwyer's men had en
tered the place a day or two ago and
found a poker game In progress, war-
rants were procured and tonight the
new Inspector went over the head of
the police captain of the precinct and
led the raid himself A man who
described himself as Kirk Brown, a
clerk, was arrested and many decks
of cards, poker chips and tables were
confiscated.
Police Commissioner Waldo) pro-
mised tonight to make public tomor-
row a list of the names of the own-
ers and agents of the buildings rented
to the gambling houses and other
resorts, which he has prepared for
the use of the district attorney in
'John Doe" proceedings before Jus-
tice Qoff, This list, according to In-
formation obtained at police head-
quarters today, contains the names of
men high in social and financial cir-
cles of the city.
That the district attorney would
use the list for purposes of prosecu-
tion after the ownership of the ille-
gally used property had been estab-
lished by testimony before Justice
Goff was made known today by a
representative of the district attor-
ney. While It Is expected the excuse
of the owners will be that they were
not aware of the use to which their
property was being put, the state ex-
pects to undermine this plea by de-
manding an explanation of the unusu-
ally high rents which they charged
for the properties. This proposed
prosecution Is said to have been sug-
gested by Justice Goff as In his be-
lief one of the most effective weap-
ons that could be employed. A few
such prosecutions with the accom-
panying publicity would, in the opin-
ion of the justice, put fear of similar
exposures in the hearts of other re-
putedly respectable property owners.
Hearing of the vagrancy charge
against Sam Schepps entered against
him to hold him as a material wit-
ness against Becker and his alleged
tools, wa stoday put over until Tues-
day, with his counsel's consent.

WASHINGTON. Aug 26 Sobered
by the embarrassments of Saturday'*
all-night session of filibusters and
disagreements, congress adjusted Its
differences today, invited President
Taft to the capitoi once more, and
at 4::I0 o'clock this afternoon wrote
"finis'' after the proceedings of the
second session of the Sixty-second
congress.
The end was marked with a re-
turn of harmony Senator LaFoilette.
demanding action on the Penrose
campaign fund resolution, found all
opposition smoothed away In front
of him and the resolution passed al-
most without discussion.
Senators Chamberlain, Martin, Cul-
berson and Swanson, after fighting
bitterly for the payment of the "state
claims" embodied ill the general de-
ficiency bill, yielded to the urging*
of their colleagues and permitted tha
senate to yield to the demands of the
house and strike these claims from
the bill. In return for this conces-
sion, however, they received the pro-
mise of support next winter when ths
claims again will be pressed for pay-
ment.
With these old claims amounting
to $600,000 went the "extra months"
pay for congressional employes, which
the senate demanded and he hous i
refused to give. In the last half
hour of the session, while President
Taft waited In his special room to
sign the measures of the dying con-
gress, an attempt was made to rush
through a special resolution giving
the employes the "extra month" but
the house again blocked It
The president signed the general
deficiency bill at 4:10 o'clock, mak-
ing certain the payment of the II.-
800,000 deficiency in army pay, the
$130,000 for the Gettysburg memo-
rial celebration next year, the |3#0,«
000 for extension of customs work
and scores of other payments
that hinged on the passage of th>*
bill.
The session "just fizzled" out In
the senate, to use the words of one
observer. A comparative handful of
members occupied their seats, and u
call for a quorum in either the house
or senate would have forced a return
of the embarrassing situation of last
week.
A wild outburst of applause greet-
ed Speaker Clark's announcement of i
adjournment as his gavel fell in tha
house. The floor Immediately be-
came an animated scene, members
bidding each other good bye and shak-
ing hands. Old-time political foes.
buried all differences and all feudi
apparently were forgotten in the gen-
eral leave-taking.
Further animation and color wis
lent to the scene when the women
flocked down from the galleries to
join husbands and fathers on the
floor. The corridors were crowded
with tired but happy members and
their families and friends and Speak-
er Clark's room was crowded with
friends and admirers. Just before he
announced the adjournment. Speak-
er Clark addressed the house:
"As the hour of adjournment ap-
proaches," he said, "the speaker de-
sires to congratulate the house on
having reached the end of one of th*
longest and most laborious session*
on record. Congress has been actual-
ly in session more days since Decem-
ber than any congress that has ever
sat. The speaker desires to thank all
members of the house on both sldea
of the big aisle which separates us
politically but now as friends and
patriots, for the uniform courtesy
with which they have treated the
speaker. I hope that he wlU all
reach home safely, all have an enjoy-
able vacation and will all return, re- aaa
freshed and Invigorated, for our work !

next winter."
While waiting for adjournment
time in the senate late in the day thero
were an even score of senator* on th®
floor when a resolution for adjourn-
ment at 4:30 o'clock was put through,
a recess was taken until 4:19. Then
began a twenty-minute wait
Secretary MacVeagh of the treas-
ury department was on the floor. He
wandered about in the little groups of
senators who were making their fare-
wells and discussing campaign plan*.
In the center aisle Senator LaFollotto
and Senator Clapp were deep In dis-
cussion of prospects for the Penrose*
Roosevelt investigation.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota awoke
the senate for a moment to thank the
presiding officer* of the session. Sen-
ators Gal linger and Bacon. Sena-
torial dignity lost itself for a moment
as the little group In the d
