Illinois Representative Aims to Give

Girls Suit Gases.

The constitutional privilege of an

contraptions that women delight in car
rying about while travelling is going to be
strongly upheld BY Representative Fred
A. Britten of Illinois. 1t has come to his
attention that midshipmen at Annapolis
are prohibited by a Steel-clad order from
carrying suit cases of their girl friends
who go to the academy dances. and Rep
resentative Britten. being one of the most
gallant congressman. has written to Sec
rotary Daniels to find out about this out
rage
Nowhere IN the city of Annapolis
can a naval cadet carry even a package.
When he meets the girl whom he has in
vited to a hop he can't even help her
with her baggage under this foolish order
which gives him twenty-five dement's If
he disoheys it.
Il suppose some one has made the re-
mark that a midShipman carrying d girl s
suit case looks too much like a union
station porter. But it's ridiculous. Any
American 10Y who has to suffer twenty
tiV.. dement's because he wants to carry
a girls baggage is placed in an absolutely
un-American position I'm going to knock
that foolish order out if l can.

ANTITRUST BILLS
Committees of Senate at
Work With Hope of Re-
porting Monday.

Both the judiciary committee and the
interstate commerce committee of the
Senate settled down to work on the
trust bills before them today with a
determination to complete consideration
of these measures and to report to the
Senate Monday. if possible.
The interstate commerce committee
discussed for several hours the Ray
burn stock and bond issue bill and the
various amendments which have been
suggested by the interstate commerce
commissioners. by the United States
Chamber Of Commerce and by railroad
officials.
Little real progress was made. how
ever beyond the adoption of an amend
ment stating that nothing in the pro-
posed law should be considered as In
conflict with the existing antitrust laws.
The feeling Is growing among some of
the members Of the committee that it
would be as well to frame report as
soon as possible and lay the measure be-
fore the Senate in the hope that the most
vexed questions would he thrashed out
there.
The judiciary committee it was said.
made more progress today. Both COM
mittees will meet this afternoon.

trade commission bill. the first of the

nope that in this way the committees
would be able to lay both bills. com

The decision to interrupt the consid

came at the end of day of parla-
mentary and legislative gymnastics in
the Senate Once the entire democratic
side was forced to vote down a proposal
to continue consideration of the trade
commission bill. BY a vote of thirty
five to sixteen the Senate displaced the
antitrust measure and took up the river
and harbor appropriation bill in the face
of a we'll organized tlibuster conducted
by Senators Kenyon. Burton and others.
Democrats Roundly Upbraided.
A chorus Of republican protests arose
and the democrats were roundly up
braided for their failure to live up to
their protestations that they wished to
press the trust legislation.
Senator Clapp of Minnesota attacked
the administration trust program. He
declared that trust legislation was in no
way the outcome of the collective judg-
ment and integrity of Congress. but was
handed to this body, cut-and-dried
proposition, for approval"
