CONGRESS met TODAY
At HIGH NOON HOUR

Knowing ones came early. 1t is
easy enough to obtain tickets on these
| big days, but the total number of
j, cards issued by members always ex-
ceeds the seating capacity The rule
is that when the seats are filled the
gallery doors are closed Standing
room is denied even to people of big
political or social prominence So it
happened today. as usual, that disap-
pointed people, many of them ticket
holders, formed lines from the gallery
doors along the Railways. and anxious
ly waited for lucky insiders to get
bored and give up their places One
in for each one out is the rule
AT least ten senators are starting
today upon their last term duty.
Among them are some who have been
prominent in their party councils. All
of them have friends on both sides of
the chamber who regret that the
changes of fortune should have mark
ed them for retirement from active
participation in public affairs.
On the other hand, there are nearly
twice as many who are receiving con-
CALCULATIONS today on the apparently
sure indications that they would be
reelected, or upon the accomplished
fact.
Amid all the hand-shakings, the
exchange of congratulations, or of
coincidence, which preceded the ses-
sion, there was evidence of the fact
that since they last met they had lost
by death one of the most valuable
members of the body This was
| brought prominently to their atten-
ton later when Il resolution was Of
fered and adopted appropriate to the
demise of the late Senator William B.
Allison of Iowa, who besides being
chairman of one of the most impor
tant committees of the senate, that
on appropriations. was for years rec
ognized as the great pacifcator of
warning factions.
Those senators who are probably
beginning their last term today are:
Ankeney of Washington; Foraker of
Ohio, Fulton of Oregon; Hansbrough
of North Dakota; Hemenway of Indi-
ana; Kittridge of South Dakota; Long
of Kansas; McCreary of Kentucky;
Platt of New York, and Teller of Col
orado.
Those whose reelection has already
been accomplished, or seem sure, are:

A large majority of the spectators
were women, and they were arrayed

and their finery were due to the fact
that the custom has made the capitol,
