WILL NOT APPOINT COMMITTEE.
The Vice President to Take No Action
Regarding the Mitchell Funeral.

Vice President Fairbanks announced to-
day that 1t was his understanding that
friends of the late Senator Mitchell of Ore
gon would not request that a committee Of
senators be appointed to attend the funeral
services, and therefore he would not name
one. 1t has not been determined what
course will be taken by the Senate when 1t
convenes Monday, but II is assumed that
an announcement of Senator Mitchelfs
death will be made by Senator Fulton, and
that he will not ask for the adoption of res
olutions of respect.
This viii be the first instance in the his
tory of the Senate where the customary
ceremony in honor to the memory of de-
ceased member has not been held.

stated that "in the making of them and in
the effort to sustain them, there was not
indicated a genuine desire on the part OF

small fishing town called Itajahy, in the

form of legal process, arrested a man
named Steinhoff, who had deserted from

acted or whether they started out on shore
with the intent of taking Steinhoff a pris-
