WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-(Special
Telegram. With less Of the spec
tacular than generally characterizes
the beginning of a new congress,
with less posing to the galleries and
less fuss and feathers" the first
session of the Sixty-fourth congress
got under way today in a manner
that seemed to inspire the hope ex-
pressed by Speaker Clark to the
house that the congress now on the
road will go into history as a work
ing congress and not talking con-
gress.
While there were many strangers about
the corridors of both the senate and
house who lacked the necessary cards
of admission to the galleries the crowds
were by no means as large as on other
opening days. probably for the reason
that tomorrow is the big day when
President Wilson will deliver his message
on preparedness and suggest ways for
increasing the revenues of the govern
ment to meet the larger demands of the
nallOn now InaL our Splenulu lSOldLlOn
no longer exists.

Every member of the Nebraska delega-
ton was present when the gavsel fell
in senate and house. Representative Lo-
beck arrived early this morning to par
tcipate in the organization of the lower
branch of congress. with which he has

postoffice and a bill appropriating 100000

Judge Kinkaid of the Sixth district
took time by the forelock by introducing
bill providing for the guarantee of de-
posits of national banks.
This is a serious question in our
state" said Judge Kinkaid, "and one
we have to meet in the very ablest and
most farsighted manner"
