AND TOPICAL SONGS
Program Which EnIivened the
Recess Hour in the House
Last Night.

Vaudeville stunts entertained the
House of Representatives during the re-
cess last night. Representative Hefiin
Of Alabama convulsed the members and
the spectators who crowded the galleries
with camp meeting stories and songs.
Representative kinkaid of New Jersey,
Lobeck of Nebraska and others led
in topical songs and much legislative
proceedings, in which numerous bills Of
questionable value were declared passed,
which kept everybody In good spirits.
Speaker Clark sauntered in from the
lobby, and suddenly from a group gather
ed in front of Republican Leader Mann
there drifted acfoss the chamber a song
with the words "Old Champ Clark. they
say he has no style, but he's there all the
while" members generally joining in the
chorus. The Speaker smiled broadly, and
Mrs. Clark, up in the gallery with friends.
rose and. with other women near her, re-
manned standing while the chorus lasted
While Representative Mann made a
few remarks the song shifted to ''Old Jim,
he amt no style, but he's Directing all
the WHILE and. amid uproarious laugh
ter. a quartet thus kept the fun going.
The singers played no favorites. Gov.
Woodrow Wilson. Democratic Leader
Underwood. Representative Townsend
of New Jersey. who created the character
''Chimmie Fadden,' and others were
made the subject of the same air.

street car company officials and union
heads.
Union leaders prepared to report the
agreement to their joint committee. With

Another meeting will be held between
the car mems representatives and the
company officials, but no date for il has

officers of the two surface street car sys-
TENS tonight had reached compromise

committee of the carmen refused to ac-

All through the day senators and repre-
sentatives had been drifting out Of town,
glad enough to shake the dust of the
capital from their shoes and get on their
way homeward. When evening came
there was little more than a corporars
guard left in the House and scarcely
quorum in the Senate.
One Of the measures acted upon by the
House was the bill authorizing memo
rial to Maj. Archibald Butt. President
Tafts former aid, and Frank ID. Millet,
member of the fine arts commission. who
went down in the Titanic disaster. 1t had
already been passed by the Senate. 1t
was the first bill which the President
signed after reaching the Capitol.
Representative Ben Johnson of Kentucky
obtained recognition long enough to put
through q bill for the elimination of part
of North Dakota avenue from the perma-
nent highway system Of the District. This
measure also had been passed by the
Senate.

Secretary Meyer discussed the matter
with the President yesterday morning,

known that any further violence has been
offered Americans in Nicaragua. the alb

is regarded as a bad feature There are
two warships at Corinto-the Annapolis

way there-the California. Denver, Pro-
metheus and Glacier The last two

The Denver Is due at Corinto today and
the California by the middle of this week.

There are nearly 800 marines at Mana

Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin asked

that such motion was in order. But
Senator Smoot of Utah called attention
to the fact that he had yielded to Mr. La
Toilette merely to speak to a question Of

Wisconsin senator to offer such mo-

The vote on the Smoot motion was

u. S. Officials Now Alarmed.

Official circles are becoming alarmed
over the situation in Nicaragua especially
as to the safety of many Americans in the
interior of the country. The apprehen-
sion is due to the break in telegraphic
communication with that country. at
tributed to the reported act of the instr-
gent forces in cutting the telegraph wires
and blocking the railroads from Cornto
into the interior.
A belated dispatch was received at the
State Department yesterday morning

fairs there are becoming more pre-
carious' That dispatch was dated
Thursday. 1t presumably was sent h.
