In Washington on March 4 Senator Carter of Montana drew tribute for talking the river and harbor bill to death, blocking roughly 50 million in appropriations including 23.5 million for Boston Harbor. He lectured nearly thirteen hours on the floor as colleagues urged recess and final adjournment amid weariness and nodding supporters.

House Closes After Exhausting Night Session
Washington March 4. The House ended its session at 11 4 amid a farewell display to Speaker Henderson. Members, weary after a long night, left in small groups as flowers lined desks and a fire nearby diverted attention. The river and harbor bill remained in dispute with Senate amendments rejected again before a late recess.
