Washington, Sept. 21.--Congress re- assembled at noon y after a re-| cess of thirty days with prospects that the extra session would lapse into! the regular session beginning in De- cember. Under a gentlemen's agreement in that house, that body is. to begin im- médiately a series of three-day récess- es until Oct. 4, while the senate goes ahead on full speed on tax revision, the ratification of peace treaties with | Germany, Austria and Hungary and with a number of other important mat- ters including the anti-beer, railroad debt funding, allied debt refunding and Panama canal tolls bills. Presentment to the senate of the peace treaty and possibly of the rev- enue bill were expected to be the prin- cipal events today although there was a possibility that a perfunctory ses- sion would ‘be held and business put over until tomorrow. GALLERIES FILLED Fifty-four senators, 33 Republicans and 21 Democrats, answered to the! senate roll-call after. vice-president Coolidge had convened that body. The session opened with the usual conventional confusion of greeting and hand-shaking. The galleries were filled. Few members of the house were present and Representative Walsh, Massachusetts, acted as. speaker Dead in Bed; Child Seri- ously Wounded Print Only Clues to Mur- derers Dowagiac, Mich. Sent. 21—A blood-stained club, rail studded, and a bloody finger print were the clues today by which local authorities hoped to clear up the murder of three persons and the serious’ in- jury of another, a child, in their home here. William Monroe, his wife and their 17-year-old daughter, Neva, were found beaten to death with the club, In the same room was found Ardith Monroe, 10-year-old daughter, who had been beaten on the head until un- conscious, The little girl was. made blind by the blows. Although her recovery is said to be doubtful officers hope she may be revived sufficiently to. tell the story of the attacks. The tragedy was discovered yester- day when Ardith’s chum, Grace Me- Kee entered the home after hearing Ardith moan. She found her play- mate beside a bed in which lay the body of her sister. In other ‘beds lay the. body of. the parents. .A club into which _ nails had ,been driven was standing ‘against .the wall. Qn the wall nearby was a bloody finger- print.. The interior of the home indicated no struggle and the bed-clothing was not disarranged, leading officials to believe the three had been killed as they slept. ‘ The neighbors asserted the crime probably took place Saturday night as members of the Monroe family were last seen at that time. It is: believed Ardith lay wounded on_ the floor nearly 60 hours before being discov- ered. Authorities have been unable to establish a motive for the crime.
