ATLANTIC CITY LOOKS
FOR BIG TIME TUESDAY
Management of Hotel Traymore Pre-
pares for Holiday InHux-New
Features Added

Atlantic City, N. J., Feb. .19-The ex-
traordinary number Of visitors to At
lantic City and the great popularity of
the new Hotel Traymore have compelled
the management to add additional IA
cilities for the entertainment of the
crowds. Never in the history of the city
has there been such a demand for first
class hotel entertainment.
The Traymore, during the past week,
has been packed to capacity most of
the time, and the reservations for the
week, including Washington's Birthday,
indicate the largest crowds in the history
of the hotel, which is the most commodi-
Gus hotel in Atlantic City. The great
popularity of the famous submarine
grill has impelfed the general manager,
Joseph W. Mott, to add other attrac-
tive features for the accommodation of
those who desire to dine and dance.
In addition to the peacock room, which
has recently been created in a section of
the concrete structure adjacent to the
submarine grill, Mr.. Mott has set aside
,another spacious ball room on the main
floor, which has the largest dancing floor
in the city, for the accommodation of the
overflow from the submarine grill and
the peacock room
Among the prominent Washington folk
at the Traymore the past week were /:
Miss Florence Clark Mr.. and Mrs r.

SEEKS CONSULTATION
ON Pending TREATY
House Member Claims Columbian
Document Would Be Illegal if Pass
ed by Senate Without Conference.

The long-standing dispute between the
Senate and House of Representatives over
the control OF revenue legislation was
revived in the House yesterday by Rep
resentatve Moore, of Pennsylvania, who
contended that the House must be con-
suited before the pending treaty with
Colombia can be ratified.
The treaty. Mr.. Moore asserted, will
alter, amend and repeal laws imposing
customs duties, which, according to the
Constitution, must originate in the House
OF Representatives. II the Senate rati-
fles the treaty, therefore. without the
consent Of the House, he said, such action
will be unconstitutional.
Mr.. Moore offered a resolution direct
ing the House Ways and Means commit
tee to make an investigation and to rec
ommend what steps might be taken by
the House to safeguard its constitutional
prerogatfves. Both Speaker Clark and
Representative Mann regarded the con-
tention so seriously as to suggest that
1t ought to be given consideration. Nc
action however, was taken by the House
