Arriving Just in Time to Welcome Twins A race between the stork and a Vought-Corsair Navy plane from the Anacostia Naval Air Station, in which | Representative Ralph E. Updike of In- diana made a hurried trip to his home in Indianapolis, resulted in an unquali- fied victory for the airplane. In fact, it proved a double success, for Mr. Updike, soon after his arrival in Indianapolis, found himself the father of twins, a boy and a girl. Mr. Updike received a message to re- turn home Wednesday morning, and made arrangements through the Navy Department to make the trip in a Navy plane, piloted by Lieut. Charles R. Brown of the Navy Bureau of Aero- nautics. i The Navy “Stork Special” took off from the Naval Air Station at 12:20 pm. Wednesday and, after making a stop at Columbus, Ohio, for fuel, landed at Indianapolis at 5:10 p.m., just a few minutes before the stork flapped wear- ily in with its double load. Lieut. Brown and Mr. Updike re- | turned yesterday, landing at the Naval Air Station after an uneventful trip. The Indianan already was the father | of two sons, Ralph E., jr, and Arthur Updike. He was defeated in the No- vember elections by Louis Ludlow, Democrat. Mr. Updike is a World War | veteran, having served with the 6th | Regiment, U. S. M. C., overseas. He | was wounded five times in action. HOROWITZ ILL. Pianist Forced to Cancel Concerts in Three Cities.

By the Assoclated Press. The nomination of Roy O. West of Chicago as Secretary of Interior was | presented to the Senate yesterday with | a favorable report from its lands com- mittee, but consideration of the nomi- nation will be deferred until after the holidays. The final vote of the committee for West stood 9 to 4. Chairman Nyg com- pleted a poll yesterday of members who were not present Wednesday, when the vote was 7 to 3 for the nominee. Of those absent at that time, Senators Smoot, Utah, and Dale, Vermont, Re- | publicans, voted for West, while Dill, Democrat, Washington, opposed him. Republican independents, headed by Senator Norris of Nebraska and Senator Nye, are prepared to renew their fight against West when his nomination comes up in the Senate. They will base their opposition on the fact that the i Interior Secretary, who is a_member of i the Federal Water Power Commission, is a former investor in the Samuel In- sull power utility companies, which have petitions pending for water power licenses. On his second appearance before the committee Mr. West volunteered, in view of the opposition tq him on this ground, to withdraw from participation in any decisions before the commission | affecting petitions of the Insull com- panies. Despite the promise of another fight, {riends of the Secretary are confident of winning his confirmation. President Coolidge, likewise, is showing interest in the Senate’s consideration of his cabinet selection, and before the com- mittee voted he called in Chairman Nye to discuss the situation. —_—— Six Die in Cave-In.

Within a few hours after it had been favorably reported from committee, the bill creating a commission to prepare plans for the United States Supreme Court Building was passed by the Sen- ate Iate yesterday. One minor amend- ment was made, which may be adjusted in the House before the Christmas recess begins, and the measurc will be ready for the President’s signature. Acquisition of the site, facing the Capitol on First street between Mary- land avenue and East Capitol streets, virtually is complete, and the com- mission about to be created will report plans for the structure before next March. When Chairman Keyes of the public buildings and grounds committee called up the bill, Senator Heflin, Democrat of Alabama, voiced opposition to moving the Supreme Court trial room out of the Capitol Building. He said he was willing to favor a new building to give the justices ample office and library space, but thought the court should continue to meet in the Capitol. Fol- lowing an appeal by Senator Smoot, Republican of Utah, the Alabama Sen- ator permitted the bill to pass.
