HOLDS ONE OFFICE
FIFTY-TWO YEARS
At Age of Eighty-fve North
Carolina Man Is Again
a Candidate.

DURHAM, n. G., June 6.-After hav-
ing served in office continuously for
hfty-two years, John Laws. Of Orange
county. at the aye OF eighty-seven, again
is in the field as a candidate for register
of deeds.
He is declared 10 be the oldest Office
holder in the United States, and during
his long term has weathered many poll
teal upheavals. II is not doubted that
he will come cut victorious at this, his
latest battle at the polls.
But Laws claim 10 distinction does
not rest alone with his political success.
His matrimonial experience has given
him fame as well. At the age Of eighty
he took to himself a wife barely entered
upon her teens. and only recently be-
came the proud father of the third child
by this union.
The veteran officeholder saw service
IN the Mexican war, was friend of An
drew Jackson, and knew President
Polk personally. Except for the fact
that Laws does not drink water
straight, but mixes il with milk, lemon
Juice and other ingredients, of soft beV-
erages. he is without eccentricItiea.

CIVIL BILL
GOES TO COMMITTEE

The sundry civil bill which passed
the House Saturday came to the Sen
ate today and was referred to the
Appropriations Committee 1t had no
sooner been reported than Senator
Simmons Of North Carolina proposed
as an amendment his plan for the
valuation of physical property Of the
railroads.
Three times this was voted down
in the Senate. while the railroad bill
was pending. but the North Carolinan
has persisted and is using this means
of getting the matter again before
the Senate.
II is confidently expected the sundry
civil bill viii be reported 10 tho
Senate within the next two or three
days. debate Of two weeks or more
is expected over this measure.

PROBATION SYSTEM
BILL IS BLOCKED
Tawney Objects to Passage
Under Unanimous Con-
sent Rule.

A bill providing for the establishment
of a probation and parole system in the
District which has already passed the
Senate was called up on the unaniro Gus
consent calendar in the House today.
but us consideration was prevented by
the objection OF Mr.. Tawney of Min
neapolis.
Mr.. Tawney's objection TO the bill
vas that q carried an appropriation
for the appointment of additional
parole officers and for the acceptance
of voluntary aid in enforcing the
probarion laws. Mr.. Tawney contend
ed mat the Government had not the
privilege Of accepting this voluntary
assistance which might result in re-
quests for appropriations later.
For these reasons he said, and in
asmuch as Chairman Parker, of the
judiciary Committee, insisted that
they should remain in the bill, he was
forced to object to passing the bill
T,nder the unanimous consent rule.
The bill, therefore, goes back TO the
regular calendar and il is improbable
another opportunity can be found TO
zet Il before the House this session.
The proposed law provided for the ap-
pointment by the District Supreme
Court Of one probation officer and by
the Police Court of another, as well as
assistant and as many voluntary assist
ants as might be needed TO enforce the
system which might be employed by
these respective courts
