A Democrats Spent $8,208 to Win76 Seats in House It cost the democrats $8,208 to cap- ture seventy-six seats in the House, ac- cording to the final report of the dem- ocratic congressional committee, filed with the clerk of the House yesterday, by D. K. Hempstead, treasurer of the committee. This showed total receipts of $9.221 and disbursement of $8,208. ‘Considering that we captured seven- ty-six seats from the republicans at this small outlay, shows the drift,” said Mr. Hempstead in his statement. “More- over, the amount we spent was only one-tenth of what Senator-elect Fess, as chairman of the republican congre: sional committee, turned over as a sur- plus when he resigned " as chairman early in the year.” ‘]t cost Representative Frank L. Greene. republican, of Vermont, $9.15 1o receive election to the Senate, accord- ing to a statement he filed yesterday | with the Senate clerk. He said his con- tributions and promises were “nil.” MAJORITIES REMOVE DOUBTS RAISED IN 1920 Two Democratic Representatives Roll Up Big Excesses Compared With Former Close Calls. ! Two democratic members of the House, whose election two years ago was contested by republican oppo- nents, received substantially increas- ed votes in the election Tuesday. ac- cording to unofficial tabulations whic reached the capital yesterday. Reports from the seventh Virgini. district indicated that Representative Thomas W. Harrison had rolled up a majority around 5,500 over John Paul, ,republican. whom he defeated in 1920 by less than 500. In a report by the elections committee, filed some months ago, republicans held that Paul was entitled to the seat, while democratic members declared Har- rison had been elected. No action on the report has been taken by the House. Representative Robert L. Doughton of the eighth North Carolina district won from J. L. Campbell, republican, by about 7,000, as compared with 1,087 two years ago. Campbell filed a contest, but after a hearing all members of the elections committee, except Representative Cable, repub- lican, Ohio, held Doughton's election valid. This report is still pending and there has been no intimation from leaders as to when the contest- ed cases would be called up in the House. PR TIGER ONWAYWITH HIS "HAT AND CANE Former French Premier, Sail- ing for U. S., Pays Tribute to American Women. By the Assocfated Pr | HAVRE, France, November 11.— A short, stout, sharp-eyed, brown- faced man of elghty-two, was the most noticed person on the steamship Parls, which sailed from here this afternoon for New York. He was Georges Clemenceau, France's war-time premier, on his way to carry out a long cherished dream—that of visiting the United States for the first time since his youth and doing his utmost to bring about complete understanding and sym- pathy between that country and France. Although the departurc of “the Tiger” was unrecognized officially by either the French or the American gov- ernment, he is looked ‘upon as one {of the most important figures ever to _leave the shores of France. “What a wonderful old man he fs." was the universal comment of those gathered at the pier. Besides his valet, Albert, he is accompanied, as he characteristically remarked, only by his hat and cane. Clemenceau also said to the woman correspondent: “Well, you can write that I sald this about the American women: ‘It is fifty-seven years since I saw the American woman. Then all had lovely blue eyes, all had sweet smiles and all were charming. I trust I shall find that the new generation— their daughters and granddaughters—have the same looks. splendid qualities, courage and virtues.” A moment later he said, in answer to a question o, I am not intend- ing to get married to any,one of them just now. I would make my will first”” As the lines were cast off jand the ship moved away Clemenceau auoted the French proverb: “To ds- part is to die a little bit.” —_— FIRST PRECINCT OVER TOP Joins Ranks of 100 Per Cent Red Cross Membership Units. The first police precinct late yes- day reported to Mrs. John _Allan Dougherty, manager of the Wash- ington Division, American Red Cross, that it had joined the headquarters detective bureau, the second and har- bor precincts in the 100 per cent membership class. Through a cleri- cal error No. 3 was reported as hav- ing gone over, but its elimination from this group did not change the to- tal of one_bureau and three precincts, as Capt. E. \W. Brown and his men stepped in and filled the hole. Enrollments throughout the depart- ment to a large number were also made, and from several precinct com- manders_comes the prediction that by payday—Wednesday—complete mem- berships will number more than four. This also holds true with the fire- men, who will ‘“come across” in a goodly number on that day and 100 per cent by the end of the drive, ac- cording to Fire Chief George Watson. | | WILKINS \ COFFEE THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

An inside look at what the Shrine Committee has done in regard to en- tertaining the Imperial Council here next June and what it contemplates is fully set forth in an official state- ment made public today by those in charge. Following is the statement in part: “Preparations for the entertainment of the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine have progressed to the point where it is now possible to make a comprehensive and fair estimate of the situation that will confront Washington next spring. This esti- mate will give the public a picture of the huge event, point out the respon- sibility resting on the individual Washingtonian and account for the extraordinarily early opening of the campaign of organization. Steuart Given Credit. “Leonard P. Steuart, the potentate of ‘Almas Temple. the head of the incorporated committee, which is re- sponsible for the undertaking, has had from the beginning a business man’s view and conception of what the imperial session means to Wash- ington. He has seen it in all its phases, and has succeeded in im- pressing his views upon the others he has assembled about him as his associates. The result is a compact, team-working company of expert workers, each of whom has his task set out for him, and the fruition is to be an accomplishment which will reflect permanent credit upon this the only metropolitan center of the land where the residents have no vote. “The Shrine session will bring at least 300,000 persons here for a week. And for a period of two weeks the population will be swelled far be- yond its normal number. “These figures are based on the fact that San Francisco this year, with ninety-six temples registered. had 100,000 Shriners and their wives present, with 250.000 other visitors, not Shriners,, daily, who came to witness the events' of the session. San Francisco parked only ninety- nine Pullmans. Furthermore. with no disparagement of that city or purpose to draw invidious compari- son, San Francisco itself offered only the ordinary attractions for out-of- town people that are possessed by other metropolitan centers. Still, with 65 per cent of the Shrine mem- bebrship east of the Mississippi, San Francisco had 100,000 nobles and their wives, and 250,000 others each day. These visitors left $22,700,000 in San Francisco. ‘Washington has at this date 106 . temples booked for attendance with A ABS e e 12 5t N CAPTIVITY I was taken a tity of mash, liguor, rounds of ammunition.

J., November 11.—Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, who was murdered on the Phillips farm with Mr: Eleanor Reihardt Mills, said tonight, rough her attorney, that she is willing 0 be fingerprinted if it would in any way assist in running down the slayer of her husband.

The department had only that number of inspectors ap- proximately for the entire seventy establishments at Chicago. “Furthermore, during the war the operations of the meat-packing houses in Chicago and everywhere else were under the established rigid inspection and as the preparation ot meat-food products came under thc‘ supervision of several different in- spectors of the department it would | have been impossible for spoiled goods to have passed inspection of all those inspectors unless they all conspired to carry out such a scheme. On the contrary, however, all govern- ment _inspectors, before being em- ploved, are required to pass a strict | { clvil service examination, requiring i {a high personal character in addition | to other qualifications.

PITTSBURGH, November 11.—In- ternational complications have result- ed and world peace has been delayed not because of “the fact of the arm stice, but because of the form of it declared Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, former chief of the American general staff and a member of the America delegation to the peace conference, | tha American Revolution here tonight. “The armistice was made becauss all of the allicd world wanted it, and for no other reason,” said Gen. Bliss. “But its defective form, for whic! America was in no way responsibie, invited and permitted in a consider- able degree the delay which proved the bane of the peace conference, and which had much to do in preventing the re-establishment of the peace of the world. “The ome great error of tha armistice, as now admitted by tha thinking men gcuerally in Europe, was In the fallure to demand com- plete surrender with resulting di armament and demobilization.
