ran TO the car which has just been

a drink. When Thalhimer and Stern
arrived on the scene one of the men
ran. Grabbing the other, who was
under the influence OF whiskey, they
tried to hold him while they sum-

While this exciting scene was TAX

Congressman Montague called up his
bill for an appropriation of $3.50. 900
for the purchase of additional land for
the Richmond postoffice building in
the house late this afternoon, Con-
gresham Barton, Of Nebraska. stated
that II the Virginia member insisted
upon consideration Of the matter then
he would have to object
AS the bill was on the unanimous
consent calendar. there was nothing
for Mr.. Montague to do but to accede
to the request of Mr., Barton that it be
not pressed at the present time. 1t
was, therefore, passed without preju'
dice, which means that the matter
will. in all probability, be closed up
again in the house the next time the

up
Mr.. Montague told The Virgiuian
correspondent that although he was
fearful Of objection, that this was the
only way the bin could be passed un-
til the next regular building bill Is

There Is no doubt but that even II
