VETOED AGAIN.

The mayor has vetoed Grlffltha
anttstraphanging bill again. This
was expected. Tho bill which no
vetoed before was quite similar TO
the present measure.
but Mayor billing has stated his
reasons more fully this time. aud
has at the same tImo outlined an
indication OF measure which he
would support
Said Mayor billing today;
The bill provides that so per
cent OF tho seating capacity may
stand In cars with crosswise seats
and 60 per cent IN thoae with
iengthwise seats. There are IA diff
ferent types OF cars In this city.
In which the standing room varies
from "a 10 ioI per cent OF tho seat
Ing capacity. counting four square
feet per person standing. Tho bill.
therefore. .would work hardship
on certain types OF cars. while In
others there would always be stand
ing room Ia abundance"

molten streams down the sides

niority, to the post, but has said he does

Craftsmanship of the committee on COM
mittees, one Of the most important posi-
tions in the gift Of the majority senators,
and more important just now by reason
of the many changes in powerful COM
mittee chairmanships and in the person
mel OF big committees. In the makeup
OF the committee on committees the
prOgressives are expected to get important
concessions. None Of the militant in
surgents has heretofore held q place on
that committee, but at least one will get
an appointment for the next Congress-.
The appointment of the. committee on
committees will probably be made shortly
after the caucus and by its chairman
Then republican senators will be asked to
let the committee on committees know
what posts they desire. and the commit
tee will get to work to sift the requests
and determine which shall be granted and
which shall not or cannot. Here again
the claims OF the insurgents are to be
considered, and that they will get some
important assignments is generally un-
derstood.

Champ Clark and Ways and
Means Committee Consider
Legislation important.

If the democratic caucus scheduled for
Saturday indorses the decision reached
today by the democratic members Of IL.
ways and means committee there will
be legislation affecting the District OF
Columbia enacted at the coming special
session
The ways and means democrats today
agreed-unanimouSy, it is Understood
to recommend TO the democratic caucus
that the House committee on the District
Of Columbia be one Of those appointed
Immediately after the special session con-
venes. Representative johnson of Ken
lucky will be the District chairman. The
other members of the committee will be
agreed upon. IL is said. at tomorrow's
meeting OF the ways and means commit
tee.
The decision to appoint the District
committee to operate during the special
session was reached after the ways and
means democrats had considered the
urgent necessity for local legislation. The
fact that the District committee Of the
House was badly treated by the repub-
lican majority during the last session OF
the SiXty-first Congress, being allowed
practically no time, and wincln up the
session with much important legislation
pending on the various calendars, is un-
derstood to have great influence With
the WAYS and means committee.
Champ Clark, who will be speaker OF
the next House. said today that It was
his hope that all important Legislative
matters affecting the District which
were pending in the House Of Repre-
when the last session ad-
should be acted upon during
the coming special session. He ex-
nressed the opinion that as long as
Congress is charged with the duties OF
for the District that duty
should not be neglected in any way.
He thinks the District committee
should be appointed and should go to
work at once in order that all local
matters of an urgent nature be az.
tended to as soon as possible.

SHOCK TO PLAYWRIGHT
Paul Kester Declares They Are
Used to Track Escaped
" Workhouse Prisoners.

Paul Kester. the playwright. who owns
a country home near Occoquan, Va, to-
day filed an affidavit In the District Su-
preme Court setting forth that escapes
from the temporary workhouse buildings
at .Occoquan are still frequent and that
the shocking spectacle of bloodhounds
tracking convict is now sometimes
seen. The affidavit is in support Of the
proceedings of injunction brought by
Howe Totten against the District to pre-
vent the conduct of the workhouse or the
allowing of convicts unguarded on the
public roads near the workhouse.
Mr.. kester says the tracking by blood
hounds Is degrading and has a demoral.
izing influence on the community He
expresses the wish that the government
will no longer countenance such a meth
Cd; Of reeapture except in the most ex-
treme cases, where the convict pursued
is an immediate menace to the lives of
persons he may encounter. Nothing short
OF peril of life. he urges, can warrant the
pursuit OF human beings by dogs within
SO short distance Of the nations capital.
