At the request of Senator Reed,| Democrat, of Missouri, the Senate th afternon agreed by unanimous consent consider the Senators sworn in yes- in violation of rule 2 of the should be held to have taken their office properiy The action of the Senate on this re- came after Senator Reed had‘\ eriticized the manner in which Vice| President Dawes conducted the cere- | n in swearing in the Senators. | arcely had the Senate concluded with this mild spanking of the new Vice President when Senator Under- wood of Alabama offered a resolution to amend the Senate rules so as to bring about cloture of debate by ma-~ jority vote. This is in line with the Jecommendation of the Vice President made in his inaugural address to re- the rules of the Senate, which now pormit practically unlimited de- hate, although there is a rule provid- ing for cloture by two-thirds vote of the Senate.

Senator Reed, in| offering hi unanimous ngrezmenl‘ resolution. said that he did not wish to be understood to be hypercritical, and that his oniy object was to see that the swearing of the Senators yesterday should be regularized. Meetding Irregular. At the same time he had pointed out that the Senate had met after the inaugural ceremonies yesterday with the Vice President absent and with no one designated to preside over the Senate In his absence. He asked that | the Senate should subscribe to the action then taken, pointing out, how- ever, that the Senate merely set an hour for the daily meeting after be- | ing called to order by Senator Wat- son of Indiana. Senator Reed said that it was important that nothing | should be considered as a precedent for the holding of a session without the duly coristituted presiding officer. He suggested that a rump Senate might meet at some time if. there was such a question. Senator Reed said that he had meant to criticize no one in what he had said. He defended the high character of fhé Senate, and declared that the body would continue the high standards set by the Senate in the past. Senator Curtls, the Republican leader, | after Senator Reed had concluded and offered his unanimous agreement re- quest, said that he hoped the request would be agreed to, since Rule 2 of the Senate did require the swearing In of the Senators in the manner described by Senator Reed. The Vice President put the ques- tion, and without further debate the Tequest was granted, and after a brief executive session the Senate adjourn- ed until noon tomorrow. Immediately following the prayer by the Senate chaplain this morning, the clerk began reading the journal of yes- terday’'s proceedings. Senator Curtis, Republican leader, asked that the formal | reading of the journal be dispensed with.

Record Reimrts Warren Confirmed, “Scooping” World The Congressional Record “scoop- ed” the world yesterday when it announced that the nomination of Charles B. Warren to be Attorney General had been confirmed by the Senate on March 3. Members of Congress read the record with con- siderable astonishment, knowing the contest over the nomination of Mr. Warren, and that the Senate had been In executive session only a few minutes Tuesday. It was explained today that the report of the confirmation was an error, one of the very few errors, it may be said with justice, that the Congressional Record ever has made. MOSES PRO-TEM SENATE PRESIDENT New Hampshire Member Is Successor to Cummins. Other Officers Named. Senator Moses of New Hampshire was today nominated by the Repub- lican conference of the Senate to be President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Mr. Moses' nomination was virtually an election, since the Republicans have a majority in the new Senate. He will succeed Senator Cummins of Towa in that office. Senator Cum- mins was not a candidate for re- election and placed the nomination of Senator Moses, who was chosen by acclaim. Senator Cummins, in a brief ad- | dress, expressed his gratitude to the Republicans of the Senate for elect- Ing him President Pro Tempore dur- ing the last six years. He sald that he wished to turn to an agreeable duty, the nomination of a man as well fitted to occupy the position of President Pro Tempore as any man in the Senate, If not better fitted. He said that Senator Moses had made a careful study of the rules of the Sen- ate and was well qualified to apply them. Senator Curtis of Kansas was re- elected Republican leader of the Sen- ate and Senator Watson assistant Senator Wadsworth of New York was again chosen secretary of the Republican conference and Sen- ator Curtls was authorized to appoint a Republican whip. Senator Jones of Washington occupied that office dur- ing the last session of Congress. The Republican conference nomi- nated George A. Sanderson of Illinois to succeed himself as secretary of the Senate and David S. Barry to succeed himselt as sergeant-at-arms of the Senate. It s expected that they will be elected by the Senate to those offices. 450 CLERKS TO LOSE U. S. JOBS IN WEEK Force at Adjutant General's Office to Be Cut—Temporary Workers to Go.

T replied that he was not to go hack to the Senate but to go to the White House with the President’s par- ty. It was a misunderstanding on my part. The Vicc President was in the hands of a committee on arrange- ments of which 1 was a member. If there is any blame for his failure to return fo the Senate chamber, it &hould be on my shoulders.” At this point, Senator Curtis asked unanimous consent that the Senate appoint a committee to walt on the President to inform him that the Sen- ate was in session and ready for busi- ness, and to.receive any communica- tions he might care to make, and that the Senate then take a recess until 2 o'clock. He explained that the read- ing of the journal, which Senator » Reed was demanding, could be taken up at 2 o'clock. Senator Ashurst of Arizona, arising 10 a point of personal privilege, said that he had read in the newspapers sirictures which he was reported to have made upon the. Vice President.

He said the object of the British governmeni was to obtain “at the earliest possible moment from the German government and people the fulfiliment of those — things which might justly be demanded of them under the treaty in order that the contemplated shortening of the 15- year period of occupation may take Dlace as early as possible.” KELLOGG SUCCEEDS SECRETARY HUGHES JARDINE SWORN IN Two Cabinet Officers Induct- ed Simply—Both Confer With Coolidge.

They were more surprised to find out that the priest, who spoke about love among men, not more than seven years ago was one of the most skill- ful leaders of a machine gun com- pany in the French Army and that in May, 1918, by clever handling of his 12 machine guns, saved his regiment | from complete annihilation and in- flicted heavy casualties on the Ger- mans, The priest, whose name is Father Gueringstarted life as a reporter on a provincial newspaper.

Br Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily New BERLIN, March 5.—"Jessner great theatrical artist and he never produced anything simpler, more beautiful or more moving than the funeral service of President Ebert.” This is the common belief, con- firmed by the facts. Nearly 1,000,000 people watched the @uperbly organized funeral procession move through the streets to the Reichstag Building and then to Pots- dam station. Horsemen and lancers, beautiful as medieval knights, a few machine guns, light artillery, hono- rary companies of Reichswehr, ma- rines, then the bier. The simple cofin was covered with a red and gold presidential standard with the black eagle of Prussia. Then came a few carriages with the family, a host of men in silk hats, including officials, ministers and deputies, then repre- sentatives of student bodies, trade unions and various-civil services. The parade was beautifully spaced. The music of Chopin and Beethoven was superbly rendered. The writer never witnessed a more moving nor more beautiful ceremony.

The Republican committee on com- mittees. which started its conferences today, will have to fill at least two Republican vacancies on the House District Committee. The Democratic members of the ways and means com- mittee, acting as the Democratic com- mitiee on committees, will select at least three men to fll vacancies on the District commit‘ee. Representative Stuart F. Reed of the District committee, has retired from Congress, and Representative Fred N. Zihlman of Maryland has been selected under the seniority rule to succeed him as chairman. Repre- sentative Zihlman s surrendered the chairmanship of the committee on 1abor to taks the chairmanship of the District committee. Then there is a Republican vacancy which has exist- ed during the entire Sixty-eighth Congress. Representative Frank R. Reid of Aurora, 111, is expecied to take one of these Republican vacancies, and in him the District should find a very able legislator with extensive experi- ence in the problems of municipal government. He has been engaged in the active practice of law since 1901.
