HOAX PLAYED ON
LOWER HOUSE IN
EXPIRING. HOUR
Wife of Representative Ed
monds Successfully Imper-
SonateS Miss Jeanette RAN
kin and Receives Ovation.


Washington, March "A hoax
played on members of the house and
the crowded galleries in the dying
hours of congress today overshadowed
the singing, cheering and speeChmak
ing that mark the end of every ses-
SION.
1t all centered about interest in
Miss Jeanette Rankin of Montana,
the first woman ever elected to the
United States congress- who will take
her seat in the next house She was
expected to be here today but did not
arrive and Mrs. George w. Edmonds,
the wife Of representative Edmonds
of Pennsylvania, received the thun-
derouS ovation that awaited Miss
Rankin. SO well did Mrs. Edmonds
play her role that hundreds of per
sons who shook hands with her in an
impromptu reception which she held
following announcement from the
floor of the presence of Miss Rankin,
went away unaware Of her real iden-
tity.
Representative Britten of Illinois,
by pre- re-arrangement with Mrs. Ed
monds, perpetrated the hoax. Half
an hour after Speaker Clark had ad-
journed the session and the voices of
members and visitors had begun to
show signs of throatiness, owing to
the fervor with which they had sung
the high notes Of Dixie and the low
notes of The old Oaken Bucket"
Britten passed word to Representa-
tive Gallivan. Gallivan sprang to the
top of table in front of the speak
er's stand, announced that the first
congress woman was present and
named Representative Britten to es-
cort her to the front.
Tremendous applause followed as
Mrs. Edmonds, who was in a mem
hers seat, walked down toward the
speaker Acknowledging the greeting
with a bow, she said in strong, clear
tones:
my friends, | prefer TO make my
first speech in the next house

70 GERMAN VESSELS
SUNK DURING 1916

Athens, March 4.--According to
statistics furnished by the Hellenic
government, seventy vessels of the
Greek merchant marine have been
lost at sea during the year 1916. This
total includes those ships sunk by sub
marines or floating mines. as well as
those wrecked or subject to accidents
rot incident to war. The ministry of
marine states that, as in the case of
many vessels lost it is impossible aft
erwards to establish the cause, no at
tempt has been made to give an ac-
Curate figure Of those sunk by sub
marines. Three, however, the "Ang-
heliki,' the "Kiki Issaia" and the
"Sparti," were sunk off Fleves point,
within few thousand yards of the
allied fleet anchored at Keratsina bay,
in period of three weeks @ A French
commission of inquiry appointed by
Admiral Dartige du Fournet pro-
nounced their sinking due to a sub
marines torpedo.

Bryan, it was explained, had accept
ed the invitation.
Colonel Roosevelt's reply to the
representatives of the Congress of Fo-
runs I'd in part:
II cannot accept your proposal be-
cause | regard it as a waste of time
to debate non-debatable subjects, To
debate with MIR. Bryan his views
against national preparedness would,
in my judgment practically on a par
with debating the undesirability of
homogeneous marriages, or the moral
ity of abolishing patriotism, or the
advantage of the re-introduction of
slavery. or the right of judges to ac-
c"pt brihes from suitors, or the duty
of submission to the divine right Of
kings or the propriety of action such
as that of Benedict Arnold"
