" ToHOUSE MEMBERS {PLAN RETIREMENT Six' Seek Senate ' Seals, While Others Give Va- riety of Reasons. Voluntary retirement from Congress 3" planned by 15 Representatives and one Delegate at the end of the next session, but six membefs of Congress aspire to the Senate. ' Reasons such as “business demands,” “long public service,” “age” ‘and “per: #onal matters” have been given by som: of the retiring Representatives. A few, | however, concede privately that con- ! gressional service “is not what it's| cracked up to be.” i As far as the women of’ the House are concerned over retiring from that branch and aspiring for the Senate, they draw a tie. Representative Ruth Hanna McCor- mick. Republican, Tllinois. is her party | nominee for the Senate. Representative | Pearl Peden Oldfield. Democrat, A kansas, has announced she will relin- quish her seat March 4 next “to make way for some young man who desires a political career. The last Civil War veteran to serve in Congress—Maj. Charles Manly Sted- man of North Carolina—is to end a fifth of a century as Democratic Repre- sentative from the fifth district at the | age of 90 years next March ! Carries Three Wounds. “I'm tired and I'm going home to rest,” said the gray-bearded and bowed Confederate soldier, who carries on his Dody the scars of three hostile bullets. A veteran of the Spanish-American and World Wars—Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright of Rye, N. Y., Republican Representative of the twenty-fourth district—is planning to return to private life after serving in four Congresses. He * wears the Distinguished Service Cross for bravery in action in France and served under President Harding as As- sistant Secretary of War. i Representative Moore of Virginia, a recognized constitutional lawyer, is to geek the seclusion of private life after 12 vears in Congress. By entering the New Jersey sena- torial primaries against Dwight W. Morrow, Representative Fort, Repub- lican, eliminated the possibility of his return to the House next year. Until a few months ago Fért was secretary to the Republican National Committee. He directed the pre-convention cam- paign of Mr, Hoover for the presidency and from his close assoclation with the Chief Executive was regarded in the House as speaking with adminis- tration authority, particularly upon agricultural matfers. He took an ac- tive part in drafting the farm relief mot. “Two Pennsylvanlans, Esterly and Waters, Republicans,” are to return to rivate life, because of business mat- fers. Stobbs of Massachusetts, another Republican, will return to the practice of law after three terms. Retiring for Health. Hudspeth, a wealthy cattle and sheep raiser of Southwest Texas, will retire because of his health. Another Demo- crat, Fisher of Tennessee, will re- linquish his seat for personal reasons after 14 years of service, Brigham, Republican, of Vermont, will accept a position with an insurance company. Hoffman, a New Jersey Republican, has accepted an appointment as aut m-bile commissioner in his State. Frank M. Ramey of Illinois and Shaf- fer of Virginia, Democrat and Repub- lican, respectively, are to leave because of brsiness demands. O'Connell, Democrat, of Rhode Is- 1and, aiready has resigned to become a member of the State Supreme Court. Aldrich, also of Rhode Island, pre- viously made plans to retire, but was prevailed upon by colleagues, including Speaker Longworth, and friends in his district, to run again. Delegate Sutherland of Alaska is serving his fifth and last term, having, he said, “received all the honor my sour dough territory can pay me. Besides Mrs. McCormick, members of the House seeking sendtorial seats are White of Maine, Dickinson of Iowa, Sproul of Kansas and Pritchard of North Carolina, Republicans, and Cor- dell Hull of Tennessee, Democrat.

Hun- dreds narrowly escaped death. 5 Other thrills in the day’s news in- clude a fire in Paris, in which a big department store was razed to the ground. Two firemen were injured severely when a cement block tower crashed into the street and the entire fire force of the city fought the flames for hours. The glow of the fire illumi- nated the city and was seen for miles. The cameraman took toll of the ter- rible disaster at Hausdorf, Silesia, where more than 200 werc entombed in a | mine. All together 152 were killed. Grief stricken families haunted the shaft for days in the hope of finding Jheir relatives alive. One of the great spectacular events is the Fourth of July festival held at Paris, in commemoration of Bastille day. A great military review marked the fete and President Doumergue inspected the troops, comprising the Zouaves, the cavalry and gendarmes, Among other interesting events is the arrival in New York of Zara Agha the world’s oldest man, who has passed 156 .years.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 24—Whether the Southern Pacific Railroad had acquired working control of the St. Louis South- western (Cotton Belt) through purchase of 135,000 shares of voting preferred stock from New York Investors, Inc., lacked confirmation_today. At the offices of Hale Holden, chair- | man of Southern Pacific, it was said a | statement might be made later. | In the absence of official comment, it | was believed that announcement of the | transaction, if accomplished, was | ing withheld, pending application by | the Southern Pacific to the Interstate | Commerce Commission, for authority | to acquire the Cotton Belt shares from | the investment company, which bought | them a year ago from the Kansas City | Southern. The latter disposed of the | shares, representing nearly 40 per cent of the St. Louis Southwestern voting stock, after proceedings had been in- stituted against the Kansas City South- ern, on the ground that its position in the Cotton Belt Road violated the Clay- ton act. T _The Interstate Commerce Commis- | sion’s railroad consolidation plan as- | signed the St. Louis Southwestern to | the Tllinois Central. Tt is understood that the latter road will not object io reallocation to the Southern Pacific, which must request the commission to make the change. New York investors bought the stock | at $89 a share. Its recent price has | been around $90, indicating a cost to Southern Pacific of about $12,000,000. | and Verdun—in ai RAINBOW DIVISION MEN AGAIN GREET FRANCE Reunion to Be Held at Chalons- Sur-Marne, but Time to Be Spent in Battle Sectors.

GERMAN SOL DIER PIN MEDAL ON BATHING SUIT| Action Is Upheld by Army Chief After It Causes Six-Month Discussion. BERLIN (#)—Whether a German soldier may sport & medal on bathing pants has been decided in the affirma- tive after six months' solemn military discussion.

Wilhelm Heye, chief of the German army, ruled that “life- saving medals may be worn on bathing trunks by any member of the army, whether in service or not.” AR SRy . MRS.
