HOUSE RECORD
/ IS VERY GOOD
Lower Branch of Congress
Enacted Many Bills.
SENATE SHOWING POOR

In Thirty-five Legislative Days the
House Passed Fifteen Giant Appro-
priation Bills, Canadian Reciprocity,
Permanent Tariff Board, Apportion-
ment and a Number of Other I'M
portant Measures.
Washington, March "A review of
the last session of the Sixty-drst con-
gress, which terminates at noon Sat
urday, shows that the house has en-
acted an unusually large number of
bills of public importance. The SEN
ate, however, presents a record OF
much talk and little action.
In thirty-five legislative days the
house has not only disposed of the
fifteen appropriation bills, aggregating
about $69O,000,000, but also the follow
Ing bills;
Canadian reciprocity.
Permanent tariff board.
Apportionment of representatives
for the next house (the Crumpacker
bill, fixing the membership at 43S in,
stead of 391, as at presently.
Selecting San Francisco as the site
for the Panama-Paeific exposition of
1915.
The Moon bill, eodifying the judi
ciary laws
Government for Canal Zone.
The Mann bill, establishing a perma,
nent form of government on the canal
zone.
The Lowden bill, for purchase by
the government of buildings abroad
for American embassies, legations and
consulates.
The Sulloway pension bill, appro-
priating about $45,000,000 annually.
The first two of these were a part
of the legislative programme urged by
President Taft The executives plea
for a ship subsidy, or ocean mail bill,
was disregarded
Among the thousands of other
measures that will die with the ses-
sion are the reports of the joint com
mittee which investigated the Ballin-
ger-Pinchot controversy and the reso-
luton to give congressional thanks
and the rank OF retired rear admiral
to Captain Robert Il. Peary as discov-
erer of the North pole.

lam Lorimers title to a seat for the

tion of Senator Beyeridge declaring
him not legally elected a member of
the senate
Senator Lorimer did not vote be
cause of his interest in the case and
Senator Taliaferro was in his seat but
did not respond to his name.
The vote of Senator Cullom, Mr..
Lorimer's colleague from Illinois, was
awaited with great interest. Both
sides had claimed him. He voted for
Lorimer.
While no pairs were announced
Senator Aldrich was paired on other
questions with Senator Terrell, both
being absent on account of illness.
Senator Taliaferro's silence may signi-
fly a pair with Senator Frazier, who
was absent on account of the death OF
his mother. Mr.. Taliaferro had been
understood to be pro-Lorimer.
There is one vacancy, caused by the
death of Mr.. Hughes of Colorado, ,eav-
ing the present voting strength of the
senate ninety-one and forty-six a
quorum. Mr.. Lorimer got majority
of the sitting members.
The position of Senators Frazier
and Terrell, who were absent, were
announced as both anti-Lorimer
There is a general understanding
that Senator Aldrich would have -fa
vored Lorimer. Nothing was state'
on the floor regarding his attitude
