Both Houses As sembLe
But Immediately
adjourn
IN HONOR OF DEAD
Resolutions of Respect for Memories
Of Senator Johnson and Represen.
tatives De ArmOnd and LATTE Are
Adopted-NOtice Sent to President
That Congress Is In Regular Session

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6,-The two
houses of congress convened to-
day for the first regular session
of the sixty-first congress, but the
days proceedings were in great part
of social nature, and practically no
business was transacted
Brief as was the senate's 13-minute
session, it was enlivened by an un-
successful effort on the part of Sen
ator Bailey to defeat the passage of
the usual resolution that the daily
sessions begin at noon, suggesting that
the senate should convene instead at
2 o'clock. Mr.. Bailey said he would
like to see the senate hold night ses-
Sions, that senators might devote the
day to individual business. No o0-
lection was offered when similar
resolution was introduced In the
house.
A Joint committee was named by
both houses to wait upon the presi-
dent and inform him that congress
was in session, and ready for any busi-
ness he might wish to lay before it.
The presidents response will con-
stitute his annual message, the read
ing of which will consume nearly all
of tomorrows session.
The house session continued 40 min
utes. w. w. Creedle, new representa-
tive from the Second Washington dis
trict, who succeeds the late Francis
Cushman, was sworn in. Although
only 341 members responded to their
names, almost a full membership ap-
peared ON the house floor and there
: were few who did not have one or
more bills to offer. These included
one by Representative Garner of Penn
sylvania, providing for full inves-
tigation of customs frauds by a con-
gressional committee; one by Mr..
Mann of Illinois, for the free admis-
sion of wood pulp, and one by Rep
resentative Hamilton, Michigan, to
grant statehood to New Mexico and
Arizona.
There we're the customary crowds In
the gallery and the usual scenes at
tending the opening of congress were
re-enacted on the floor. The leaders
of the majority and of the minority
were there, and conversed amicably,
all the bitterness engendered by the
tariff fight last summer apparently
having been forgotten.
Resolutions of respect for the mem
ory of Senator Johnson of North Da-
kota and Representative De Almond
and Representative LATTE, who died
during the recess, were adopted ,and
as q further mark of respect the two
houses adjourned until noon tomor-
row.

Switchmen's Union of North America.
We have nothing to do with that union
and have troubles enough of our own
without entering into any others.
Our proposals have not been sub
mltted to the arrangements of the
eastern railroads and we have no rea-
son to suppose that they will be re-
fused until they are submitted. 1t is
no secret that we have long felt we
are entitled to higher wages. A de-
mand for them was deferred two years
ago when the financial panic caused a
pause"
A. P. Smith, vice president and gen.
eral manager Of the New York Cen
trail, said today:
"The company is on the most friend
ly terms with it's employees"
In other well informed quarters it
was said tonight that as the railroads
have long contemplated an increase in
freight rates, they are in no position
to treat the question of an increase
in wages Tor their employees too
brusquely.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The general
managers association of the
strike-bound railroads Of the
northwest issued q statement tonight
declaring that there would be no
gloomy Christmas for any one be-
cause of inability of the roads to de-
liver Christmas freight.
''At the close of the sixth day of
the switchmen's strike" reads the
statement, I'VE have shown greater
progress than any day since the strike
was called. That we feel little alarm
about our ability to move Christmas
merchandise, livestock and perishable
freight, is evidenced by the fact chat
all lines continue to accept traffic
to and from all points without re-
striction, and that unless conditions
were practically normal, it can readi-
ly be determined that the railroads
would hardly continue to accept the
freight to fill up their terminals and
freight houses at the risk Of enormous
losses"
The railroad conference committee
is at work obtaining authority from
the lines involved to meet g. commit
tee from the swltchmen's union.

foundation
Following Is Lees message to Pres

"In order that yourself and the

necessary to state that the press re-
ports indicating that strike of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and
other affiliated organizations, threat
ened at this time as a result of the
demands made for increased pay in
the territory east of Chicago, are ab-
solutely without foundation.
Whatever action Is taken by the
organization l represent will depend
entirely upon the individual express
sion of the members through the gen.
eral committee Of the railways in the
territory and will be handled In the
usual manner. The demands of the
train employees Ia train and yard serv-
ice east of Chicago, cannot take prop

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There 10 only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this ube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness Caused by
Catarrhr that cannot be cured by Halls
