HOUSE IGNORES
EMPTY BOTTLES
FOUND SUNDAY
Monday Business Proceeds
with No Inquiry of the
Whisky Issue.

Congress has refused to be stam-
peded into a hasty investigation of
the morals of its members. 1t does
not care II whole trainload OF
empty whiskey bottles have been
found in the House Office Building.
Watched like a hawk watches a
chicken. all day yesterday the House
of Representatives transacted its
business just like 1t always does. Not
a member arose and demanded list

those who did not.
Paced the Gallery Floor.
Several men paced the corridors OF
the House press gallery much after
the fashion that passengers pace the
decks of a steamship about to be tor
pedoed, waiting for some member of
the House to pull down the roof by
concerning the alleged find of a
cache Of empty refreshment bottles
on the fourth floor of the House
Office Building.
Alas, they were disappointed. The
House was too busy specializing son
how many German submarines were
taking a nap of Sandy Hook to be
bothered with such trifies as empty
whiskey bottles.
'Tis true that some wet member
may raise his voice in protest, and
demand to know why the fair name
of the House of Representatives has
been dragged down in the sawdust
ION the barroom floor, and ask that
an investigation be made. and then
color the report to make it look like
II might be heap better for WASH

EXEMPT CLERKS list
required BY HOUSE
Representatives Adopt Madden's
Resolutions Calling for This.

Despite the fact that Speaker Clark
ruled out Of order the resolutions Of
fered by Representative Madden call
ing on the different heads of the gov
ernment departments for a list of en-
ployes who have been exempted, from
military service. the House yesterday
UNANIMOUSLY adopted these resolutions.
Mr.. Madden again takes up the hunt
for ablebodied men whom he thinks
ought to be in training. and who are
now holding down a chair in some gov
ernment department because their su-
periors have had them exempted on
the ground that their services as civil
ian employees could not be dispensed
with.
1t has been charged on the floor Of
the House time and again that there
are thousands of young men. who
should be In training, at work in va
rious government departments. Some
of these IL has been said have used
-'pull" to keep out of a uniform, and
Mr.. Madden wants either TO verify
these charges or else prove them
groundless.

Memphis. Tenn, June 8. - Women

will tell you that all the women who

While the barber complains the
beauty doctor has a different story

ELECTION OF
 UNCLE JOE TO
 MAKE A RECORD
He Has Served Longest Term in Congress with the Exception of
 One Other.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-If the voters of the eighteenth Illinois dis trict elect Uncle Joe Cannon for
 | twentieth term in Congress next November, he will have equaled a record achieved only by one other n point of Congressional service. Already the former speaker has out served all other present and for mer members of the House for long service in that body. The late Will liam Royd Allison, former Repre- sentative and later Senator from owa, held a record in Congress with forty-four years service in both Houses
 MT. Canon's record is for service in the House alone. One more term would complete a service of forty four years. Were it not for an af- fair in 1890, when the Democrats took control of the House, following passage of the Mckinley tarfff law and another incident of 1912, when
 the Progressives split the Republi- can vote, MT. Cannon's service would have been for twenty-four terms continuous, (forty eight years). AS 1t is he began his serv- Fee in 1873 and has served since with the exception of the two terms mentioned.
 Besides MT. Cannon and the late Senator Allison, Justin Morril oi Vermont, late Representative and Senator, is among the former mem bers who saw long service in Con yress Mr. Morrill, served forty
 three years continuously as a Rep
 resentative and later as a Sena- tor.
 MT. Cannof's first term was in
 he forty-third Congress. He was 1rst elected Speaker in the fifty lighth Congress and reelected in he fifty-ninth, sixtieth and sixty lrst sessions.
