The special committee of the Senate
appointed to investigate charges made
against the District excise board made
by Senator Jones of Washington and
to investigate the manner in which the
excise laws are enforced here, failed
to get together this morning owing to
the dlibuster in the Senate against
the ship purchase bill
Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas,
chairman of the committee, had issued
a call for a meeting today. He said
later that IT would be impossible to do
anything in the matter until after the
nght over the ship purchase bill had
been settled. and that even with that
measure Off the boards il might be i'm
possible to do the work OF investiga-
tion before the close of the present

picture by Representative J. Hampton
Moore In the House of Representatives
today. Mr.. Moore's fantastic idea was
part of a discussion among the MEM
bers. in which the jitney bus figured
for the first time as a subject OF the
congressional debate.
Mr.. Moore offered an amendment to
paragraph in the sundry civil bill
which would clearly define exactly
what vehicles could be used by officials
In his explanation Mr.. Moore said he
believed all cabinet officers should be
furnished with automobiles by the
government.
Bus Service for Statesmen.
IF cabinet officers. then why not SEN
ators and members of the House?'
asked Representative Sloan Of Ne
braska.
"Or why not a jitney bus service from
the Capitol to the White House and
the various departments? suggested
representative Dies of Texas.
Representative Moore, carrying out
this idea. said that jitney bus might
operate very comfortably and with
considerable saving of time for men,
bers. but that senators might not want
to ride In the same bus with represent
atives.
Street Car Discomforts.
Further on Mr.. Moore spoke of the
disconforts of street car travel, in ad-
vocating motor cars for officials:

The convex side is turned outward and
a strong piece of wire is securely
fastened around the staYes and pushed
downward until they are securely
held in place. Pushing the end OF the
stave about two inches into the ground
helps to hold them tightly in place. a

to keep out field mice, but will insure
against loss from rabbits or mecham'
