THE HAGUE. Aus. lo.-The inpres-

has been given the reports. The attempt
to publish proceedings Of the second
meetings Of the committees resulted in
this impression. AS a matter OF fact
there is no truth IN such reports Bur

his balance and declared that unless OBJ

CLERKS IN HOMES
Of CONGRESSMEN
Friends of Legislators Keep
House For Them Dur
ing Summer.

Housekeeping for Congressman is get
ting 70 be 2 popular fad with depart
ment employees. 1t has been noted Of
late that many Congressman who leave
Washington during the vacation period
OF Congress leave their homes in
charge Of friends who are employed in
the departments.
Government clerks who prefer TO
board during the winter and keep house
during the summer. and who are for
tunate enough 70 know a member Of the
House or Senate. or other public Off

winter. are thus enabled to crafty their
desires without the expense OF fitting
up an establishment Of their own.
Caretaking Of Congressional resi-
dences, which. Ike most things else,
began in a modest way, promises 20
become one OF the recognized events Of
the Washington summer season. It
serves the double purpose OF saving rent
to the ambitious clerk and also enables
the Congressman and his family 10 rest
in comfortable assurance that their
property IS receiving proper care.
II is believed that one thing that has
greatly contributed TO the popularity Of
the plan mentioned IS the fact that
many houses have been entered by
burglars during the time that the Occu-
pants were avery for the summer, and
many valuable articles have been stolen
