Bs the Associated Press, The Senate has a new contest on its hands in the selection of a chap- lain and it has a field of several can- didates. including several regilious faiths in the race. Since the recent death of Rev. J. J. Muir, chaplain of the Senate, sev- eral of the Washington clergy and their friends have been petitioning leaders for consideration, ring their attentions on Senator of Kansas, the Republican cont Curt leader. Mr. Muir was pastor of a Baptist | “hurch here. Those seeking his place include representatives of the Catho- lic. Congregational and Episcopal faiths. The chaplain of the House, the Rev. James Shera Montgomery, is a Methodist minister. The office pays $1,520 annually and does not interfere with the chaplain carrying on the regular dutfes of his pastorate. The chaplain offers prayers at the opening of each daily session, but under Senate rules that body often recesses from day to day, and under these circumstances the formal daily opening exercises and prayers are omitted. Selection of the chaplain rests with the Republican conference, that party having the majority in the next ses- sion and therefore control of the or- ganization. -— Spain expeets & bumper olive crop this_seaso 16 JACKSON PLACE (On Lafayette Square) New Office Building Will Be Ready for Occupancy January Ist One-half block from White ouse and State-Wi vy Building.
