Washington, May 22. The"' bi
partisan insurrection in the senate
appeared to be on the verge of vic
tory with its demands that congress
stay on the job this summer and pass
measures to relieve the high cost of
living.
Unless leaders regain the whip
hand the program side-tracking vir
tually all measuresexcept appro
priation bills and a3journ on June
5 Will be badly upset. '
The democratic insurgents won
the tight in their party caucus ana
for.ced through a resolution declar
ing "it to be the sense of the demo
cratic senators, that congress remain
on the job until it passes measures
dealing with the high cost of living,
notably the Kendrick-Kenyon pack
er bill. v
The, caucus action was a virtual
repudiation of an, informal, under
standing between Senator . Under
wood, the democratic leader, and
Senator Lodge, the republican lead
er, to adjourn on June S. v ,
Republican leaders deny there is
any jockeying going on to keep the
packer bill side-tracked, put Sen
ator Kenyon of Iowa showed signs
of irritation when Senator Wads
worth of New York moved to take
up the army appropriation bill the
moment the shipping bill was out of
the way.
Senator Kenyon promptly counter-moved
to. take up the packer bill.
About 15 republicans will vote' for
the packer bill, and virtually all the
democrats will support it, accord
ing to its sponsors. This would give
the measure a. wide margin in the
senate.

Determination to have a .22-cah-ber
rifle with which to shoot Indians
after he had arrived in the wild'and
itfSbly we$4, led to ruin in John
Mohler's trip yesterday. ,
John, who'is 14 years old and the
son of Mrs. W. S. Mohltr, , 3226
Kansas avenue, went, "west oty his
bicycle at 5 a. m. yesterday.
He wore a pack on his back and a
bread-brimmed hat.
Scenes of hazardous adventure in
Omaha motion picture shows lured
John from home. 1 He wanted to ride
a horse like "Buck" Jones, he said.
Mad at Teachers.
Friday his history teacher at
Miller Park school scolded him for
not having his lesson.'
His music teacher threatened to
make a "sissy" of him by putting
him in a class of girls.
John resented this.
He had visions of galloping buffalo
and yelling redskins to bite the dust
as he should shoot them .down after
"the style of Dick Merriwell and
others.
John'got as far as Elkhorn, Neb.,
yesterday. ' )
Returns for Rifle.
He tried to buy a rifle, but was too
young. So he decided to return to
Omaha to- get his artillery.
-. But that was his downfall.
Police, had been searching for him
r.llday. -
But the keen nose of The Bee po
lice reporter beat them to it and
smelled the wandering boy out, cap
tured him and returned him to his
home.
John had returned to Omaha, all
right, and had brought his .22 rifle
for $10.
He loaded up with 1,500 rounds
of ammunition and hit the, trail
again.
But The Bee reporter had also hit
the same trail.
And John's Indian hunts ended
abruptly.
