lame DUCKS" LAMENT
At PRESS CLUB FETE
Three Rare Birds" and Three Ordinary
Bows" Furnish Fun for Scribes.

Six of the rather numerous aggregation
OF Representatives who will not return
to the next Congress told the members
OF the National Press Club last night how
1t feels to be lame duck"
Three OF the six were designated rare
birds because OF the fact that they had
retired "of their own volition."
Those who spoke were Representatives
Bennett, OF New York; Allen. Of Ohio
Davis, of Texas; Lloyd, of Missouri;
Stout of Montana, and Page. of Nortn
Carolina, the last three named being the
rare birds" who, as the presiding Of
ficer, Representative Green, of Vermont,
said. decided not to run after having
months before election.
Labert St Clair. chairman Of the enter
tainment committee. presided Music was
furnished by the Nordica Quartet, Walter
T. Holt director.
Representative Stout, whose successor
will be Miss Jeanette Rankin. said that
chivalry dictated that he should announce
she is just as good a man as he is, and that
he would never be as handsome a lady
as she.
Cyclone" Davis, introduced as
dreamer and one who had added a pic
turesque touch to Congress, told of the
satisfaction which had come to him and
Of how his cup had been filled with pleas
ure, at seeing some of the political poll
cies which he had started to advocate
twenty years or more ago, recently come

Stand UP OR fight
FOR NATIONAL HYMN
General Engagement in Cafe When
Star Spangled Banner" Is Played.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Feb. Z.-This is no time to
show disrespect to the American emblems
of patriotism, and there are several per-
sons today nursing black eyes and swol-
len noses as a result
Two men who failed to arise when the
Star Spangled Banner was played In an
upper Broadway restaurant are among
them. So-presumably-is an individual
who was attending a motion picture per-
formance in a theater in Broadway, near
10th street-although really no one was
found who knew exactly what happened
TO him.
William Purtell, a dealer in metals, and
living at No. III West 104th street, was
in the restaurant, which was crowded
with men and women, nearly all in
evening dress.
Trauerman. of No. "a Hamilton terrace,
with a Mr.. Rosen. two other men and
four women. When the orchestra played
the national anthem Mr.. Purtell noticed
that Mr.. Trauerman and Mr. Rosen did
not stand up. though the others in the
party did so. He reminded them that the
national anthem was being played
Il don't have to get up" said Mr.
Trauerman, continuing to eat the food be-
fore him.
Bing! went Mr. Purtell's or somebody
else's fist on Trauerman's nose He
promptly slid under the table. the sub
sequent proceedings interesting him no
more" Another fist shot Mr.. Rosen
against the adjoining table, upsetting it
with all the glassware on it. Walters
succeeded in clearing the room, but 1t
was a real fight while it lasted.

ment was finally reached to have the bill
read and considered for amendment at
morning session today, and 1t will be re-
ported not later than noon Tuesday.
News of the District Committees ac-
ton was carried to the Rules Committee
and the general opinion Of the "drys' was
lative evidence that the "wets' were
adopting dilatory tactics to prevent the
bill from being considered at the present
session. A vote was at once taken TO re-
port a special rule taking the matter out
of the hands OF the District committee
and by a vote of I to carried. The line
up was, for the rule, Representatives
Garrett, Foster, Harrison. Campbell,
Lenroot, Bennett and Chiperfeld; against
the rule, Representatives Henry (chatr-
mani: Pou, Cantrill and Patten.
VIII Cause Bitter Debate.
The rule will be brought in at the earli-
est possible moment and 1t is thought will
bring about bitter debate. There Is no
certainty that the rule will be accepted by
the House since many members resent
the effort to force the Sheppard bill to
the front before the regular committee
to which it was referred had been given
chance to report 1t. Administration
leaders and members of the Rules Com
trenches Monday.
When the bill is considered by the Dis
trict Committee In executive session to-
day the "wets" will try to add bone
dry amendment to the measure. The ef-
feet OF this would be to prevent the en-
basses and foreign attaches living in the
District from having any liquor at diplo-
matte dinners and would keep members
OF the House and Senate who like nip"
from having their customary daily bracer.
Two of the more drastic VETS of the
House threa tened they would vote against
Ia Democratic organization OF the next
House should the rule be accepted and
the Sheppard bill passed without the ref
erendum clause.
Representative McCracken. E. c. Din
widdle, Rev. Charles Scannon, and Rev
Clarence True Wilson occupied the time
of "drys" at the open hearing Of the
Rules committee.
Attorney Henry f. Davis pleaded
vigorously for a referendum. He was fol-
lowed by Charles j. Columbus represent
ing the Referendum Association. Repre-
sentative Barkley closed for the advocates
of the Sheppard bill
Plead for Referendum.
E. W. Oyster, representing 800 members
OF organized labor, appeared at the final
hearing before the District Committee to
plead for the referendum. James Hugh
Kelley. an editor and author, and Repre-
sentative Cary, urged the referendum.
Against it were Attorney A. D. Warner
and Rev. S. G. Lampkins colored pastor
OF the Mckinley Memorial Church.
]. B. Bradley, of the Washington Secu-
lar League. urged that the provision in
the bill which permits five gallons OF
liQuor every twenty days for sacramental
purposes in the churches be stricken from
- hsl =
by the churches as a means of inducing
new members
This drew a spirited retort from Repre-
sentative Focht, and other members of
the committee showed their resentment
at the intimation of the speaker.

JAP SPEAKER WARNS

(By the international News Scrvice)
New York. Feb. 23.-Warning that the

RESTRAIN their people" IL the United

well-known Toxic publicist. before a
notable gathering attending the Wash

Court League.
DR.. Iyenaga discussed the relations be-
tween America and Japan most frankly
He called particular attention to the
treatment accorded the Mikados SUBJ
jects on the Pacific Coast
They not only receive harsh treat
ment," he declared, but they have been
in some instances deprived of rights
and privileges accorded other aliens.
This is totally incomprehensible. 1t is
reported that one of the States of the

kind Of land law which once strained
Japanese-American relations. If this
kind Of pin-pricking is often repeated, 1
fear the time may come when the
Japanese rulers cannot restrain the

This Inauguration
Unique in Absence of
German Envoy

The coming Inauguration will be
different from any witnessed for
more than one hundred years. For
the first time in a century no ac-
credited ambassador or minister
from the German government will
witness the inauguration OF an
American President. Representa-
ttves OF every country but the Ger
man empire will be on hand. but It
may be that the new Austrian Am
bassador, Count Tarnow-Tarnowski,
and Representatives OF the Bull
garisn and Turkish governments
will not be present.
The most recent parallel to this
situation was the coronation Of the
new Emperor Of Austria, at which
no representatives of the allies were
present.
There is reason to believe that
the reception committeesc OF the
Inauguration OF President Wilson
will not be embarrassed by any 40
cidents from seating diplomats
whose countries are at war too
close to each other.

We sympathize most deeply with
our sad friends on the south who are
forever bewailing their lowly state, the
while ranting and abusing their bet
tiers. We trust that the deserted vii
lage may see the error of her way.
Did you notice that c. A. Bean was
the ringmaster of her next perform
ance?
Auto owners hereabouts are urged
to form a separate organization or
join the Minot club in order that some
step may be taken to further the in
terests Of good roads. What Ward
county needs and needs badly are
highways leading east and west and
north and south from the county, and
by highways we mean first-class
gravelled thoroughfares, something
we can be proud to drive over. If the
project is fostered in the proper spir-
it and with sufficient enthusiasm, we
can see our hopes realized. Let u:
get busy.
