The country today faces the now unaccustomed prospect of nine months without a session of Congress. The Sixty-seventh Congress has passed into history, and, incidentally, with its four sessions, set a new record for future Congresses to shoot at in the extent of time actually spent in the legislative halls. The exodus of members and former members of the Senate and House who toiled through the sessions was in full swing today, while Washington is trying to ac- custom itself to the comparatively prosaic life ahead. Sine dle adjournment came yester- day with the bang of the Senate gavel sharply at noon, and that of the House six minutes later, after a brief final session conspicuously lacking in the thrills of the pre-adjournment hours of some other Congresses. The closing in the House, however, had the usual colorful qualities of song and sentimental informalities, with a section of the Marine Band on hand to fill out the program. The rendi- tion of old favorites by an impromptu quartet of members warmed the whole House, and most of the spec- tators in the crowded galleries joined to a lusty swelling of the chorus. Little Done on Last Day. On the business side of the pro- gram, while President Harding sign- ed a total of ninety-nine bills, in- cluding the farm credits bill, during the closing hours, fifty-five of these recelving his signature after his ar- rival at the Capitol about half an hour before adjournment, little was accomplished by either Senate or House on the last day. After hear- ing “swan song”’ speeches by Sen- ators Frelinghuysen, republican, New Jersey, and Sutherland, republican, | | west Virginia, and a tribute to Sen- ator Willlams, democrat, Mississippt, v his colleague, Senator Harrison of gins?ne ppi, the ' Semate. tried vainly to pas a few minor bills. It ran into a fifteen-minute filibuster by Senator Dial, democrat, South Caro- lina, at the end of which was termin- ated by the adjournment gavel. Troponents of the resolution for & Senate investigation of recent in- creases in the price of sugar main- tained until the last minute of the session yesterday their efforts to ob- tain action. The last word of debate taken by the Senate reporter was an assertion of Senator Dial, democrat. South Carolina, that there was “still time to show the country the reason for this latest increase in the cost of Y rman Calder was ready with a favorable report from the committee on audit and control, but found no opportunity for pressing it before the final bang of the gavel. Smoot Holds Floor. Much of yesterday's two-hour ses- sion of the Senate was consumed by Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, in reading an extended analysis of the sugar situation from the viewpoint of the American producer. The hl;! refiners,” and not the tariff, were re- sponsible for recent price movements, rding to Mr. Smoot. Senator oo gemocrat, Massachusetts, called attention that the increase was substantlally in the same amount as the tarifft on sugar, adding that “every necessity on which a tari was placed had shown like increase st to the consumer- 10 S oanimous consent to recelve the report on the resolution was blocked by Senator Curtis, republican, Kan- THE ~EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The House merely marked time to musio and swan songs while the President worked his good right hand overtime in signing the grist of last-minute measures. The Marine Orchestra, playing in “well” vied for favor with a e ily Corganized quartet of mem bars whose rendition of old favorites Soon drew into a mighty chorus the ontire House and most of the spec- tators, who overflowed the galleries onto the floor. The quartet and or- Chestra soon established a working agreement, with Representative Win- Mifred Mason Huck, Illinois, joining the musicians as a violinist, playing a borrowed instrument. Reprosentative-elect Perry, a dem- oorat, who is to succeed C. Basco! Slemp from the ninth Virginia dis- trict, was introduced in the role of solofst by Representative Snyder, re- publican, New York. He _gang Plarry Me Back o Ole Virginny” and waved the crowd into the chorus. Clarke Was Chotrmaster. Representative Clarke of New York was the choirmaster, but was displaced temporarily by Repre- sentative Barkley of Kentucky, who led the singers into “My Old Ken- tucky Home.” “Dixie” had its usual place on the Marine Orchestra program, and as its stirring _strains_ filled the chamber cheers went up from floor and galle: of North Carolina, from a hastiiy s ing above the din. The southern co- horts were led by Representative Ward of North Carolina, from a mastily se- lected place on the top of a table in the center of the democratic side. Farewell eulogies occupied much of the time of the hour and a half the House was in session. Representatives Fordney of Michigan, Campbell of Kansas, Kitchin of North Carolina, Alice Robertson of Okiahoma and Mri Huck were given ovations, but “Uncl Joe” Cannon received the greateat tribute. — Cannon Gets Ovation. After praises of the retiring veteran of forty-six years of legislative service had been sald by Representatives Hicks, republican, New York, and Sis- son, democrat, Mississippi, Mr. Can- non was escorted down the center aisle by Representative Rodenberg of Illi- nois, while members and spectators stood applauding and cheering. Before the close of the session the democrats were placed in charge of the House, while a resolution was adopted by nanimous vote, thankini Speaker Gillett for the “able, impartial and dignified manner” in which he had presided for the past two years. Rep- representative Collier, Mississippi, re- placed Representati Campbell, the Speaker pro tempore, and Representa- tive Garrett, Tennessee, the minority leader, offered the resolution 4 Controller Appointment Fails. Few Others Denied Offices as Session' Closes. Comparatively tefw nominations failed of confirmation with the ad- Journment of the Senate. Heading the lisgwere those of James G. Mc- Nary, Southwestern ' banker, to be controller of currepcy, and Joseph W. Talbert, veteran republican leader of South Carolina, to be United States marshal for the western South Caro- lina district. More .than a scorewof, postmaster nominations also failed, but mostly by lapse and not opposi- tion. Mr. Talbert's name was twice sent to the Senate. He was opposed by Senator Dial, democrat, South_ Caro- lina, and others, who made charges of improper personal conduct. The nominee {8 republican national com- mitteeman of South Carolina and has been a prominent fidure for years at republican national conventions. Numerous _eleventh-hour nomina- tions were confirmed yesterday morn- ing, including those,of Representa- tive Oscar E. Bland,’ republican, In- diana, and Charles S. Hatfleld of Ohio to be justices of the Court of Cus- toms Appeals. Y All of the federal judgeship nomi- nations made recently were confirm- ed, but the President falled to send inappointments to four of the twen- ty-four judiclal seats.provided in the law increasing federal judiciary. The vacancies are in:Florida, eastern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma and Mon- tana districts and may be filled by recess appointments.’ The Senate adjourned without fill- ing one democratic -vacancy on the allied debt commission, appointment to which both Senators Glass, demo- crat, Virginia, and Simmons, demo- North Carolina, declined, and some democratic leaders predicted that {t might never be filled. —_— WILL PRACTICE LAW.
