The peculiar thing about II is that
Mr. Fess II a supporter OF former Sene-
tor Theodore e. Burton for the Repub-
lican Presidential nomination.
While the Burton supporter stood nom
plussed In the House late yesterday he
heard loud applause grip the Repub-
lican side of the chamber. II was the
first opportunity House Republicans
had had to cheer the name OF Hughes
and they seized II.

Mr.. Tess mentioned the name of
Justice Hughes during the debate on
the Burnett immigration bill. In reply
to speech OF Congressman George r.

the founding OF Brown College. from
which came such educators and states
men as Horace Mann. f. Benjamin
Andrews, Charles e. Hughes, and 9TH
ers.
As Mr.. Tess reached the name OF
Justice Hughes the applause suddenly
swept over the Republican side and the
Ohio member stood In rather embar-
raised fashion attempting to proceed.
Just at that moment the time of the
Ohioan expired. HIS asked for one min
ute additional. which was allotted by
Mr.. Burnett. In charge OF the bill.
~ rs Justice Hughes now placed in
nomination. asked Congressman CAL
laRher of Illinois
II can say more about that IL he gets
to be President" said Mr.. Tess. Again
the applause broke out.
Members Rush In.
II was the first time that the name
of the associate Justice has been mem
TONED In House debates since the move
tnent began to make him the Presiden-
tlal nominee, and the Republican ap-
plause was so loud and persistent that
members rushed In from the cloak
rooms and corridors TO ascertain the
cause Of the denomination.
Mr.. Fess supported the literacy test
provision of the Burnett bill, but when
he was yielded an additional minute Of
time. Mr.. Burnett facetiously remark
81 am not yielding time to the gentle
man to make a Presidential nominal
ton"
Then 1 withdraw the nomination, I"
said Mr.. Fess. while the Democrats

possibility of suicide or escape. Three
clear Sundays of life are allowed to

ly he is hanged upon the Tuesday aft
er the third Sunday. Some visitors are
allowed, but not even the most init

even take the hand of the prisoner.
During the awful three weeks of wait

any food within reason, may smoke
and may read what he likes. Just be-
