CONGRESS FINISH] .ITS Unless Grave Emergency Arises 1II Not Meet Until December. Record of Failure Declares Garrett. 'Washington, June .--Il'ho Sixty sixth congress ended its second ses sion today, adjourning sine die at 4 p. m. Unless a grave emergency arises which makes necessary a special ses slon, It will not meet again until De cember 6. The close of the session was marked by nodb of t'he hectic rush that gen erally attends a getaway of congress, but there was the usual applauding and cheering In the house chamiber after Speaker Gillett's gavel had re leased the members for the flirt long vacation congress has had since the United States entered the war. The 'house cleaned up Its work early in the day and twice recessed to await possible senate action on pending measures. The senate remained in continuous session and, as the result of a small sized -filibuster there, the bill to establish a national budget sys tem failed of passage. Final sessions of both houses passed without the plethora of political speeches which had been expected by many since congress was quitting on the eve of the national political con ventions. Just at the finish Represen tative ..londell of Wyoming, the llejub lican leader, delivered an address praising congress for the work accom plished at, this session. Representa tive Garrett, Democrat, Tennessee, re i)lied, declaring that -this congress had been a "humiliating failure." The nearest thing to a political speech in the senate was an attack by Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio, on the contingent expense committee for delaying in reporting his resolution proposing an investigation by the elec tions committee into expenditures in the forthcoming presidential and con gressional campaigns. He declared that the Democrats would not and the Republicans could not say to the peo ple that it was none of their business where campaign funds came from or how they were expended. The resolu tion was adopted without a record vote. President iWilson's criticism in his telegram today to the heads of the rail roa(I brotherhoods also passed without cenimment in 6ither houise. Practically the only action by the house during the (lay was to pass the budget bill after amending it to meet "Felt Like Man and Wife, All Ru Were Oreatly (v Y 'WIFE' and 1, after a hard sping1 on. th. farm we..

ES SECOND SESSION the president's objection that it -took from the executive authority to remove the comptroller general and assistant comptr'oller general, officials appoint ed by hhn under the measure. Republicans abandoned their plan to call for a vote on the resolution re fusing 'President Wilson's request for authQrity to accept a mandate over Armenia., The measure had already been adopted -by the senate. 'Chair man Porter, In a formal statement, said Democratic .inembers of the house would have blocked transaction of all other business had the resolution been brought u1p. While congress was winding up its affairs d'residen. IWilson was devoting his entire time to signing bills. Some measures enaoted, however, were not reached by him !before the hour of ad journient and automatically !became dead under the law prohibiting the ex ecutive from passing on legislation while congrea is not in session. The exodus of senators and repre sentatives began almost immediately after adjournment and will continue tomorrow and Monday. Many of the Republicans of both houses are 'head ed for Chicago to attend their party convention -there. Some of the Dem ocratic mombers also will attend that convention, but most of them will rc turn home to await the time for going to San Francisco for their party con vention. The house was in a restless mood throughout the (lay and efforts of imany members to have taken up spec ial bills in which t-hey were interested failed. In tie last half hour the house settled down to give close attention to the addresses of ,Representatives Mondell and Garrett. Mr. Mondell declared that this con gress in its two sessions had made a saving of $'2,374,460,817. Eight appro priation bills that passed -the house In the sixty-1iftoh congress, but failed in tle selnate fillbuster -were reduced $940,5l0,598, Mr. Alondell said, and the estimates submitted by the govern ment del)armcnts for the next fiscal year were reduced by $1,433,850,218. Several laws were cited by Mr. Mon dell as "constituting a record unequal ed in American history." lie included the transportation act, the woman suf frage amendment, the merchant ma rine bill, the mineral land leasIng bill, tie waterpower act, the civil scrvice Eating" -Down fr n Farm Work, felped Ziron, and sure fCelt like eating.

' "Take it all in all, the record of the congress is one of which every mem ber may well be proud," declared '\r. Mondell. "It is a record that com mends the congress to the favorable Judgmenit of the American people." Referring to the Reiu'blican ap plause while' followed Air. 'Mondell's spee'ch, Mr. Garrett said the Repub lican leader 'had spoken "to the only audience In the United States where his speech could receive applause." He declared it was "absurd" to say that the work of this congress "mneas ured upl) to any of the past." Turning to the Republican si(e, Mr. (Carrett coltinued: "Yu seldom paused in the midst of doing nothing, exce(pt to (10 something worse." liteclaring that this congress had been "anl absolute, humiliating and shameful failure," Air. Garrett said no new tax hws except "sone bunk pop gun measures" had been passed and that the re(iuctoln of estimates which the Republicans called savings had been made by every congress in the last 25 years. ''We ca'inot concur," conlluied .\lr. Garrett, "in i wo1rd of prW.te. because in spirit you know and the country knows this congress has been a hunil lating failure."
