In connection with subscriptions, it was stated by Mrs. Neligh yesterday that it had been decided to class the givers as follows: Those giving $1,000, as patrons; $500, sustaining members, and $100, assoclate members of Neighborhood House. Smaller con- tributions also will be gladly received, it 1s stated. Mrs. Charles Denby {is assistant chairman of the finance committee, while other members include Mrs. ‘Waliter Drake, Mrs. Cuno H. Rudolph and Mrs. Joseph M. Stoddard. All of them are also members of the board of trustees. Neighborhood House, which for a ton, had 2,221 registered on its rolls for various activities during the past year, Mrs. Neligh said. Among the various organizations of the house are 13 boys’ clubs, with an enrollment of 200; five girls’ clubs, with an enroll- ment of 186; 22 soclal groups, with an enroliment of €96, and numerous other activities. An average of 38 was scored in the daily attendance to the kindergarten department, while 45 children were admitted to the day nursery. With its wide scope of activities, Neighborhood House operated during the year with only 11 paid workers, 75 volunteer workers, a handy-man for odd jubs around the buildings, one housemaid and one nurse. Its board of trustees is composed of 42 persons. NYE AND FRAZIER GET PATRONAGE White House Considers Wishes in Mudgett Appoint- ment in North Dakota. Two Progressive Republican Sena- tors, Frazier and Nye of North Da- kota, have received assurances they will recelve patronage privileges on an equal basis with other Republican Senators. Senator Frazier and Sena- tor Nye looked with disfavor on the appointment of Col. C. F. Mudgett as United States marshal for North Da- kota. Mudgett is a member of a faction of the Republicans in the State which fought both Frazier and Nye. Senator Nye visited the White House and pro- tested for himself and for Senator Frazier against the Mudgett appoint- ment. Nye Is Pleased. After Senator Nye had left the White House. it was learned the Mudgett nomination was not to be sent to the Senate. Senator Nye ex- pressed himself as gratified at the “splendld will to co-operate” which the President had shown. He indi- cated he would co-operate with the administration as far as possible. Both Frazler and Nye were pree pared to fight the confirmation of Mudgett in the Senate, should the nomination be sent in. ‘The fallure to recognize the North Dakota Senators in the matter of patronage would have fitted i1l with the harmony plans, which the Repub- lican leaders of the Senate are now working on. Frazier, who was ousted from the party councils of the Senate because he followed La Follette in 1924, s again to be welcomed back to the fold, and given committee assign- ments as a Republican under these plans. The report that the North Dnkota Senators are not to be dis- criminated against in the matter of Federal patronage, therefore, has been pleasing to the Senate leaders. st il AIDS INDIAN RESEARCH. Co-operation of House Committee With Government Body Promised. Full co-operation of the House In- dian affairs committee is promised by Chairman Leavitt to the Institute for Government Research, which has un- dertaken a general survey of Indian affairs. The institute, which is not connected with the Government, and which be- J.|®gan its investigation at the sugges- tion of Becretary Work, has a spe. cial staff, Chairman Leavitt sald, “fully capable of considering the present situation and what needs to be done in the future regarding the quarter of a century has furnished educational, amusement and various other facilities of a practical nature for the people of Southwest Washing- entire difficult problem.” “Its ‘unblassed report and sugges- tions,’” he added, “wijl be eagerly lodked forward to.” THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1926. SEATING OF GOULD IN'SENATE IS SEEN Democrats Expeot Any Charges to Be Given to Com- mittee on Elections. Senatorelect Arthur R. Gould of Maine will be seated upon his precen- tation to the Senate of credentials of his election, in the opinion of Demo- eratic leaders here. If a contest is filed against him by his Demooratic foeman in the recent lMaine election, Fulton J. Redman, that contest wi'l be referred to the Senate col on privileges and elections tigation. 1f the investigation develops any ty and the committee should report on Gould to the Senate ad- versely, the Senate would then be In a position to determine whether or not Gould should continue to hold his seat. The Senate has no offictal lflfm?llblve plained yesterday, and would not be warranted in denying him the right to be seated imme- diately upon presentation of his cre- dentlals. His case differs greatly from those of Senators-elect Smith of Illinois and Vare.of Pennsylvania, in the opinion of Democratic Senators now in Washington. The Senate, through its own com- mittee, has already investigated the primary elections of Smith apd Vare. and in all probability will have before it the report of that comuniltee when the two Senators-elect present them- selves at the ng of the next Con- gress in 1927. The view was ex| yesterday that Smith and Vare could be prevented from taking their seats immediately, although this could not be done in the case of Gould. Mr. Gould was due to reach Wash- ington today. He has already been assigried offices in the Senate Build- ing. e T TR PENALTIES FOR CRIME. Court Imposes Prison Sentences Following Convictions.
