DOCK ABSENTEES!
SOLAW DIRECTS
But No Sergeant-at-Arms
Would Last It Congress-
mans Pay Was Short.

+ The innocent little story which appeared
in various newspapers yesterday concern
ing Representative Witherspoon of Mjssis-
sippi and the $82 he returned to the SER
geant-at-arms because he felt he was not
entitled to it under the law has created a
lot of amusing excitement in the House
Representative Wttherspoon himself, SO
his friends say, is not at all pleased to
have publicity attached to the affair. and
the story Is old enough to be ranked with
ancient history. The Mississippi congress-
man was not even remotely connected
with the publication of the incident, but
he became the center of lively converse
ton of the subject yesterday on the floor
of the House and in the cloakrooms.
Law Enacted in 1856.
The law on the subject was enacted in
1856. The present sergeant-at-arms. Rob-
ert Gordon, says he cannot remember any
other congressman who took the law So
riously.
The measure provides that the secretary
of the Senate and the sergeant-at-arms OF
the House shall not pay salaries to men,
bers who are absent unless they assign
sickness for themselves or a member OF
their family. But what is a sergeant
alarms to do when congressman pre-
sents himself at the wicket and demands
his pay?
How long would the sergeant-at- arms
last if he attempted to enforce that law?'
asked a newspaper man of half dozen
House members yesterday.
The answer gave varying periods of
time, ranging from three minutes to
three hours. All hands agreed that the
recall would be worked with startling
rapidity.
There are at present more than 200
members who are not ION the job" It
is safe to say that each one of the
number will draw his full pay.
There are nine members, it is cal
culated who have not been away from
or another. Most of the nine live on the
Pacific coast.
Representative Johnson of Washing
ton. who Is rarely absent, believes the
law Is foolish one, and that it smacks
Of working by the whistle. Representa-
were really enforced there would be
less absences. Representative Heflin of
Alabama, when asked his opinion,
laughed long and loud
1T is a serious natter" he said, and
let 1t go at that.
on the subject. safe in the recollection
of a statement to the President that
they would stay in Congress until the
last gavel-tap sounded. Probability is
that Representative Donovan of Con-
necticut. who has made absenteeism an
issue, probably Will never have to face
the moral issue OF whether or not it is
right to draw salary for days spent
away from the Capitol
On the other hand, there are many con-
gressmen who are away earning money
for themselves at other jobs right now.
One republican has gone to run a hotel.
There are democrats galore who are out
Will the sergeant-at-arms nav them?
He will.

Mileage Another Matter.

There has been much to say on the SUBJ
ject of the mileage question. The major
ity Of congressman who vote and don't
talk much believe that as long as mile
age is allowed by law it would be a bet
ter practice to desist from denouncing
mileage, which is legal as long as they
accept salary for days and weeks spent in
their districts. This view was expressed
generally about the House Yesterday.
Representative Witherspoon himself ex-
planned the $50 incident to friends yester-
day. 1t happened in the reciprocity ses-
sion in 1911: He had private business
which he believed he could finish before
he presented himself to be sworn in. He
When the clerk at the sergeant-at-arms'
Office handed him his first months sal
there was four days pay too much. The
clerk was not familiar with the law on
the subject; but the Mississippi man was
as he had studied it, and had made 1t an
issue against his predecessor, whom he
defeated.
So he turned the money in. The matter
would have been forgotten had it not
been for a chance remark Of 4 friend Of
Representative Witherspoon.
