Congress in Session Ends as Taft Plans April Special Session
The Sixth Congress adjourned Saturday noon after attempts to resign by Senator Dalley of Texas. The tariff commission bill died as the House rejected two Senate amendments and opposition to the Canadian reciprocity treaty persisted. The Senate did not act on the apportionment bill increasing membership, while Taft called a special session to begin April 4. Reports note extended Senate hours, debates on popular election of senators, and the Lorimer case, with other measures advancing or stalling in both chambers.
