NOT VERY POPULAR.
| 1t was made plainly evident in con-
gress this week that the Pujo COM
n1ittee's investigation Is not an over
whelmingly popular proceeding-at
| least to the extent Of enlisting the
support Of the entire democratic ma
| jorfty in the house, which, of course,
gave the republican minority an op
portunity to indulge in a few vocal
pyrotechnics. Chairman Pujo intro
| 6uced resolution that his committee
| be furnished $4,000 more TO complete
! the investigation now planned, which
was opposed by Mr.. Fitzgerald OF New
York, who took the occasion to call
l the majority's attention to the fact
! that the appropriations for the session
/ were mounting to a. prodigious figure;
| and, furthermore. that the investiga-
| ton in which Mr.. Pujo and his conn
| peittee were engaged would not amount
4 to "a rap" But Chairman Pujo got
I
members of the majority voted with
the repubiiea ns on the question
| COUNTING ELECTORAL VOTE.
i Probably the most formal and rig
orousiy observed ceremonial, in which
congress engages took place this week,
when the electoral votes were officially
/ counted by the senate and the house
Of representatives, acting as one body.
4 The ceremony required three hours,
the tellers solemly announcing that
each state had delivered so many votes
to such and such a candidate. The
1 pr ocession of the senate to the house
/ chamber was preceded by three tall
policemen OF the capitol, following
i whom came two blue uniformed
pages bearing mahogany casket in
which the certificates had been secure
IL locked, and which could be unlocked
! only by the presiding officer Of the
senate in the presence CT both houses.
Senator Bacon occupied Speaker
Clark's chair, and presided on the oc-
I casion. AS the procession Of grave
and solemn senators reached the door
4 OF 1.-The house chamber, they paused
while the seargeant-at-arm an
nounced their arrival to the house. The
members. Of the house arose. and the
senators slowly entered and took their
places with the same sort OF precision
I as, time country church elders filed
up to the mouTners' bench--and for
once the buzz OF conversation ceased
in tn ehouse. Senator Bacon an
nounced the occasion OF the visit OF
the senate, .whereupon Senators Dill
iagham and MARITIME and Representa-
tives Young and Rucller went to the
desk. Senator Bacon cautioned the
house and visiting senate, as well as
the galleries, that applause Of any
description would not be in order.
Starting with Alabama, the list Of
states was called, and the vote of
each announced. When Woodrow Will
son, Of New Jersey. and Thomas r,
Marshall, Of Indiana. were announced
| to have been elected president and
vice-president, respectively, the pre-
siding officers admonition was forgot
: ten, and for moment there was a
surge of applause that nearly shook
: the stained glass ampyrean OF the
, house chamber. But only for a mo-
rnent, for Speaker Clark, mounting the
platform. received from the hand OF
Senator Bacon the gaveb and the
: house was itself again. Thedignif1ed
senators arose and in the same order
: in which they entered returned to the
; senate chamber to the opposite end OF
: the capitol. It was an impressive oc-
: casion, well worth seeing. and renaem-
: bering.
HELM is "IN BAD"
} Congressman Heflin ~ Alabama is
: ''in bad" with the women suffragists-
!. and they are not only angry, they are
I fighting mad. AIR. Hefiin, in a recent
: address at Fails Church, Va. a suburb
of Washington, put himself on record
something like this: go per cent ot
! the suffragists are divorced, % pei
:, cent are trying to get divorces, 25 pei
cent are living unhappily with theil
husbands, and the remaining % pei
D cent are sour and savage because they
: have never succeeded in catching III
: with a hfe-mate.

o rage leader. and incidentally one o.
