The VICE PRESIDENT. The question is on agreeing to the motion of the Senator from Idaho.

The yeas and nays were ordered, and the Secretary proceeded to call the roll.

Mr. BACON (when his name was called). I am paired with the Senator from Maine [Mr. FRYE]. I transfer the pair to my colleague [l\Ir. TERRELL] and vote "yea."

Mr. JOHNSTON of Alabama (when Mr. BANKHEA.D's name withdraws his request? was called). My colleague [Mr. BANKHEAD] is absent and is paired with the Senator from Wisconsin [Mr. STEPHENSON]. If my colleague were present, he would vote " yea."

So the motion was agreed to; and the Senate, as in Committee of the Whole, proceeded to consider t-he joint resolution.

Mr. BORAH. I understand there is a desire to move an adjo urnment at this time, perhaps until Thursday, owing to the fact that important hearings are being held before some 1 committees, and I shall gtre way for that motion, if it is the desire make it ·

Mr. CULLOM. I do not think it is the purpose that the Senate shall adjourn over until Thursday.

Mr. BORAH. Very well; I w a s in error to that extent.

Mr. CULLOM. I move that the Senate do now adjourn.
