On the roll call of the House the clerk when he reaches the names of the women merely sings out: < and “Norton" and “Rogers.” Thui far on the roll calls the ladies have spoken up bravely. But they have followed the custom of the better mannered male members and an- nounced themselves as “present,” in- stead of merely singing out “Here,” as some of the stronger persuasion stilk insist upon. While Mrs. Kahn and Mrs. Rogers appear in the House as widows of rmer members, it 1s generally rec xnized that t have won their places in their own right. Both Mrs. Kahn and Mrs. Rogers have long been known in Washington. Mrs. Kahn, a motherly, gray-halred lady, was secretary to her husband and 'is well qualified to carry on his ork.

Nye as Senator from North Dalrota were heard today by the Senate elections committee. Representative Voigt, Republican, Wisconsin, appearing as counsel for Nye, argued that Gov. Sorlie had full uthority to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Ladd under the laws of North Dakota, and that even If these laws did not specifically mentlon the method they should be interpreted broadly to permit the State to have full senatorial representation under the Constitution. Representative Burtness of North Dakota, representing the Republican State central committee, contended that the State law passed in 1917 which Mr. Nye claims permitted such an appointment as his, was enacted to give the governor authority to ap- point only State's attorneys. and could net give him power to appoint Sen ators without contravening the scven- teenth constitutional amendment. . Burtness declared that a Sena- tate because he takes th oath of siance to the United States and not to the State, is paid out of the deral Treasury and the Constitu is explicit on the manner in which Senators shall be elected, how they shall vote nd the number per- mitted each State.

The remaining ones, as well as many of the independent estab- lishments not under any executive department, are either housed in un- suitable and insecure temporary butld- ings erected to meet emergent war con- ditions, or are dependent upon private enterprise for the space cupy. n many instances related activi- ties are scattered about the city in va- rious locations, entailing great loss, delay and inconvenience in the trans- they oc- numerous instances the valuable rec- ords of the Government, the loss of which would be irreparable, are stored in non-fireproof and insecure struc- tures uader conditions which invite disaster.” Mr. Mellon also called attention to out the country. “In view of all the conditions af- he said, reasonable limitation upon the amounts that might be expended an- nually. to resume the work of con- structing and enlarging Federal build- ing TRAFFIC RESTRICTION TO GET FAIR CHANCE Protest Against Ban on’ Solid Tire Trucks and Horse-drawn Vehicles Fails.
