"$s, 900 DIAMOND BROOCH"
FOUND AND RETURNED TO
SENATOR'S DAUGHTER

The much-talked-of 5000 diamond
brooch lost at the Navy Yard dance last
Saturday night by Miss Lucy Hoke
Smith. daughter of Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia. has been found. but the price
OF the pretty piece Of jewelry has dimin-
ished. II is valued at less than $500 by
Senator Smith.
The brooch was returned by a friend
OF Miss Smith, a woman who attended
the dance and who later found the brooch
caught in the lace in the front OF her
dress.
The value Of the brooch was deprecated
last night by Senator Smith. who said:
1T is ridiculous 10 say that the Jewelry
was worth 5000. II vas, as a matter
OF fact. worth less than one-tenth Of
that. II was only that my daughter had
bought it with some money given her by
my mother that made it particularly val
liable in her eyes"

Want Early Adjournment.

There is a sentiment among the House
leaders that Congress should limit its
legislative programme as much as possi-
BILE in order to bring about an early ad-
JOurnment. The plan is 10 follow very
closely the programme Of legislation out
lined in President Wilson's recommenda-
ton in his message calling the extra
session. At present, there Is feeling
among the leaders in the House that
not more than two subjects will be con-
sidered, the tariff and the trusts, but
this will depend, OF course, upor Presi-
dent Wilson. Representative Underwood
said that the House leaders would fol-
low implicitly whatever course President
Wilson should recommend. There is a
difference Df opinion among the House
leaders as TO w1ether the tariff should
he revised. schedule by schedule, as was
done last year by the Democratic House.
or whether a general tariff bill should
be reported. 1t is said that William J.
Bryan expressed himself on his recent
visit to Washington in favor Of revising
schedule by schedule, carrying out the
programme OF Representative Underwood
at the Iast session. Mr.. Bryan suggested,
however, that still further reductions
might appropriately be made and still
