Party Rules Supreme For
First Time in Many
p Years.
CLARK OPENS HOUSE
MARSHALL SENATE
No Demonstration AS Vice
President Calls Upper
Branch to Order.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-At the
stroke Of noon today gavels sounded
in senate and house, signalling the
opening of the second, or first regu-
lar session of the sixty-third congress.
The familiar figure Of Speaker
Champ Clark was seen in the house
chamber, the speakers presence call
Ing for demonstration on the part of
the Democrats over the opening of
another session Of congress with the
Democratic party in control. In the
senate, Vic President Marshall called
the senate to order, but there was no
demonstration, that being contrary to
senatorial ideas of dignity. This was
the first regular session OF congress
in many years which was ushered in
entirely under Democratic auspices
with Democrats in control of the
house and senate and a Democratic
executive in the White House
AS usual on such occasions, the gal
1eries were filled, there being a bril-
liant display of millinery and winter
fashions by women spectators. The
diplomatic galleries in both houses
were well filed, diplomats of South
America and Central America predom-
mating in the attendance.
Routine in House.
In the house. the blind chaplain of
that body, the Rev. Henry n. Couden
delivered the opening invocation, af
ter which few new members were
escorted to the speakers desk to take
the oath of office, This ceremony
over, the house proceeded to uninter-
esting routine business. Routine bus
mess and parliamentary skirmishng
over the currency bill occupied the
attention of the senate.
Many members who were detained
here during the summer and autumn
months, were slow in returning, many
of them declaring they would remain
away until after January /, so as to
be at home for the holiday season.
They anticipated that little important
business would be transacted until
after the beginning of the new year
Although the program had not been
definitely formulated. members looked
forward to tackling one of the most
ambitious legislative tasks that any
congress in a long time has attempted
Legislative subjects.
Here are some of the subjects of
legislation that the new congress will
take up:
Final action on the currency bill,
Antitrust legislation.
Rural credits.
Navy program.
Passage of a dozen appropriation
bills.
Train safety and safety on the
ocean.
Regulation of the shipping trust
Final action on the reports of lobby
investigating committees.
The cost Of living problem.
Legislation to portect women
workers.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Reports
reaching Washington for the past
month that President Huerta is levy

confirmed by dispatches today. Pres

The gravity of the situation at
Tampito continues unabated. Rear Ad-

to compel the rebels to desist from a
general attack which would endanger
the rich oil interests of that city. The

That this government is keeping Z
watchful eye on the situation at Tux
