Congressman Richards Wants Star
Chamber Proceedings Abandoned.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Representative
Richards of Ohio today introduced in
the House a bill involving an important
change in the manner of conducting the
work Of congressional committees. The
bill will provide that every session of a
legislative body of the National Congress
shall be open to the public. IL it passes it
will effectually do away with star chamber
proceedings in all Congressional matters.
The bill states that all committees and
subcommittee considering proposed leg
islation referred to them shall admit the
public on all occasions when such matters
are considered.
And IL shall be unlawful for either Of
the bodies herein designated to hold any
meeting for the transaction Of business in
secret.
This provision includes the executive
sessions of the Senate and Of conference
committees In speaking of the bin, MIR.
Richards said that its purpose is to allow
the people the most ample oppor-
tunity to keep informed of what
their representatives in Washington
are doing and he believes that letting i'm
the light of publicity on all official acts
OF legislators will result in reducing the
opportunity for fraud and for conspira-
cies in legislation.

weather was what the experts call Satan

During the early morning excursion
steamers from Southampton, Bourn-

places steamed into the roads, bringing
