4 Tunnel for the Statesmen.

For the convenience of statesmen a
tunnel has been constructed from the
capitol to the new Office building just
completed for the members of -
house The house members find me
tunnel very convenient in keeping out
of the wet and also In dodgil" constit-
uents and newspaper men at the rare
intervals when they wish to avoid
meeting the latter. A statesman can
disappear into the capitol building and
emerge ten minutes later from the
house ONCE building three blocks
away.
The tunnel Is all nicely illuminated
with electric lights, but a WALL Of
three blocks is pretty strenuous for
some Of the statesmen, and they are
said to be figuring on putting trolley
system In the tunnel.
