Congressman Derelict
in Attending Sessions

mo, son. There are only forty-nine
present. and there are ABS members"
Then why do they call it Commit
tee of the Whole House?"
Right here papa, not being parlia-
mentarian. was stumped, and had to
admit it to the boy Others in the
House Of Representatives gallery Won
dered with the boy who unconscious
ly had displayed a bit of delicious
irony at the expense of the nations
lawmakers. No house session in the
last month has seen more than one
fourth of the total membership pres
ent. and Committee of the Whole" is
rather more of a joke than anything
else
In the last month the house Of rep
resentatives has passed on at least
three tremendously important pieces
of legislation:
The five billion dollar urgent de-
ficiencies appropriation;
The $176,OOO,OOO war risk insurance
bill;
The $11,53S. 5000 bond and certi~
ficate measure.
At no time during discussion OF the
last named bill were there more than
seventy-five members on the floOt OF
the house. Rarely during the insur-
ance discussion did more than sixty
show themselves.
Washington, accustomed to any
thing in the way of congressional be
havior. or misbehavior has hardly
raised an eyebrow at this queer. not
to say naive, way of handling impOr-
tant national business. But casual
visitors with nothing better to do than
to visit the house have frequently re
marked on the situation.
A faithful handful of representa-
tives have been fairly regular in at
tendance, but by far the great ma
jority have not shown themselves at
the capitol in weeks illness in the

be responsible. as alleged, for alb
sences, because it is an off-year for
elections.
OF those who have stuck to their
knitting probably none is as faithful
as Uncle Joe" Cannon, nestor of all
the representatives. and Speaker
Champ Clark. Uncle Joe, although
81 years old. sets a splendid example
for younger Republican congressman
by attending nearly every session, TAX
ing active part in nearly every debate
that arises and sticking until adjourn
ment in the evening. In addition to
this. his committee assignments are
heavy as a general thing, and he
draws frequent special assignments
besides
The Speaker, also we'll along in
years. is present regularly, getting out
of his chair and relinquishing the
gavel from time to time to take part
in a debate.

CHICAGO. oct. New revelations
OF alleged activities of the /. w. w. in
it's campaign of war obstruction are
under investigation by federal au-
thorities here today with the empanel-
ing of the October grand jury. The
jury replaces the September body
which returned indictments last week
against 1876 l. W. w. leaders.
Evidence that will be presented to
the new grand jury and from which
it is expected further indictments may
result includes a vast number of
tracts, pamphlets, books and other lit
erature which are alleged TO have been
part of the propaganda. Prominent
among this literature is book called
Sabotage
This book government agents de-
clare made suggestions on how to put
army ovens out of service. how to-
cripple machinery in big Industrial
plants and how to hamper the rail
roads These activities. it is alleged,
were a part of the l. W. W. campaign
against the war
Attorney Otto Christensen, one of
the counsel for the l. w. W. leader 8
who are under indictment, said today
that the T. w w. never had any in
tention of carrying out any of the sug-
gestions of the book"

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 2.-COnsterna-
ton has been caused in Berlin by the
fresh advance of the British along
the Bagdad railway in Mesopotamia
according to dispatches from the Ger

of actual railway line or ballasted
right of way between Basra on the
Persian gulf, and a point so miles
northwest of Bagdad are now in pos
session of General Maude's forces,
and they are still moving forward,
driving the Turks before them
Thus, while the German line crum-
bles on the western front, the kaiser
sees his dream of an empire from the
North sea to the Persian gulf crum-
bling beneath his eyes.
Ten persons were killed in the Ger
man air raid last night, it was Off
cially announced today by Viscount
French, commander in chief of the
home defenses.
This brings the total number of per
sons killed on British soil from Ger
man air raids up to S64
In addition to the 10 killed, 80 9th
ers were wounded in the areas bonn
barded by the great fleet of German
aeroplanes Monday night
Although there was savage fight
ing high in the clouds between Brit
ish machines and the German planes
all of the British air craft returned
safely.
