A theaterful of Washingtonians, who
have been watching members of Con-
gress come and go for years, found huge
enjoyment in seeing the transmutation
of a. new member with the wooden
shirt and red bandana to the three-stud
open shirt front, as satirized in "A Texas
Steer and presented by the Columbia
players last night. 1t is play which
Washingtonians have specially enjoyed,
because its types of men and women are
familiar to them. Many will agree that
the manners of the new Texas member,
of mis- family and OF his constituents,
marked mere by pistols than by polish,
are eXa ggerated in Hoyt'S farce: but the
bright lines and ludicrous contrasts kept
pit. balcony and gallery in an uproar last
night.

May Force an Answer.

Yesterday the members of the COM
mittee present in court seemed inclined
to force an answer under oath from Com
pers and his associates to the charges
of alleged contempt. Rumor has 1t today
that they may ask the court to hold the
pleas of the labor men insufficient and
move for judgment in contempt, notwith-
standing the plea. The committeeman to-
day declined to discuss the question of
what form their next move In court Will
take.
Justice Wright signed yesterday a
formal order designating Clarence r.
Wilson in his individual capacity as a
member of the bar, an additional member
of the committee of prosecutors, AS AS
sistant United States Attorney Turner
was present in court when the desgna-
ton was made, Justice Wright did not
consider 1t necessary that formal notice
of the designation be forwarded to Mr..
Wilson, who is in Maine. Formal notif1-
cation of appointment was sent to the
committee originally designated. but will
be waived as to the new member.

Early Decision Expected.

A decision is expected to be reached by
the committee this week in order that
notice Of the motion may be served on
counsel for the labor men by Saturday.
This would give the two clear days no
tice required by rule of court. so that
the matter might be heard by Justice
Wright Tuesday. the last day of his va
cation term Under the rules Of court
the committee has ten days in which to
file the motion determined on, but it is
expected it will endeavor to present the
matter before Justice Wright leaves for
his vacat ton
The labor leaders yesterday, after Jus
tice Wright had declined to grant bill
of particulars, filed d series of pleas in
lieu of an answer. The committee of
prosecutors urged that this was not
proper return to the rule to show cause
and the matter went over to give the
committee time to determine on the
method of proceeding.
The labor leaders pleaded not guilty to
the charges preferred against them by
the contempt committee. They also
claimed immunity from punishment. even
If guilty, because of the statute of lin
itations and because of the unreasonable
delay on the part Of the court in formu-
lating charges of contempt based on hap
penings of more than three years ago
