kins, OF California, who is giving
up his seat after a continuous ser
vice of nearly twenty-five years.
The Western senator sat for a mo-
ment in contemplation of the tribute
paid him. then half rose to his feet
to reply, but ended by waving his
hand feebly toward Simmons, and
into lis seat, too overcome
with emotion to speak.
, The last hour Of the session in
the lower house was taken up with
speeches eulogizing the work OF
Speaker Clark. Floor Leader Under
wood and Congressman Mann.
