New Harbors Bill Favored After All Night Session
Washington reports that after an all night Senate session the filibuster ended in favor of President Wilson backing abandoning the river and harbor bill and replacing it with a resolution to fund underway projects at 12 to 15 million dollars. The old 53 million dollar proposal was rejected as revenue slumps from the war push. Democratic leaders used strategy to force quorum and continue debate while Burton led a lengthy floor speech and roll calls, with arrests and awakenings to summon absent Senators as the vote proceeded toward modification of the bill.
