WASHINGTON, March 25:-What
Is undoubtedly the most luxurious
Office building in the country, If not in
the world is just being completed for
the use of the United States Senate.
1t is so far finished that most of the
Senator's have already moved their
their quarters from the old Capital
building, or from the Maltby annex,
into the new structure and are sett-
ling down to the enjoyment of their
modern environment
Every convenience known to the art
of the builder and architect is included
in the new builing. 1t is electrically
lighted throughout. All of the light
ing fixtures as we'll as the furniture,
the thirteen elevators, ETC., were
specially designed SO as to fit in with
their sumptuous surroundings.
Every room has it's telephone, its
electrical bell to tell what is going on
on the senate floor, and its electrical
fan. An electric clock system is being

Capitol shortly before noon. At three
minutes of twelve, two red silk cords
are looped across the hallway to the
door of the court room, and headed by
the usher, and In the order of their
seniority, the nine justices march into
the court room.
AS soon as the usher appears at the
little gateway opening on the bench
in the court room, the marshals gavel
falls, and he announces soberly:
The Honorable, the Chief Justice,
and the Associate Justices of the SUI
preme Court of the United States
/ With a stately stride, slowly, like
mourners at u funeral, with their flow
ing black robes adding to the picture,
the justices file into their places, all
persons in the room remaining stand
I ing until the members Of the court are
seated.
Then the crier announces: "Oyez.
Oyez! All persons having business
with the Honorable Supreme Court of
the United States are admonished to
draw near and give their atten lion, for
the court is now sitting" These for
malities over, the court gets down to
business.
On the bench the justices are seated
strictly with regard to their seniority
The Chief Justice, the Venerable Mel
willie w. Fuller, with halo of white
hair has the center seat. AT his right
sits Justice Harlan, the senior justice,
tall and straight despite his seventy
six years. On Justice Fuller's left is
Justice Brewer, next in Seniority; then
to Justice Harlan's right sits Justice
White; then the next in point of sen
iority is Justice Peckham, who sits to
left of Justice Brewer: Justice Nc
Kenna is at the right of Justice White;
Justice Holmes is left of Justice Peck
ham; to the right of Justice McKenna
sits Justice Day, and, last in point of
seniority, Justice Moody, the Youngest
as we'll as the newest of the justices,
has the end seat to the left of the
Chief Justice, besides Justice Holmes.
Few people know that Justice Fuller
is The Chief Justice of the United
States not Chief Justice of the SUI
J preme Court. His title is fixed by the
Constitution.

The fight against Speaker Cannon
and the old rules, that marked the
opening Of the Sixty-First Congress
was good thing for the telegraph
companies and bad thing for the ste
nographers that handle the correspon-
dence of the members of the house.
1t is estimated that not less than two
thousand kilograms were delivered at
the offices of members of the House
daily for five or six days proceeding
the fight in the House, and it is stated
that 80 per cent Of these kilograms
referred to the great fight.
Flight Cannon like He'll one of the
messages read and many more were

that can be used for the entire fam
