Sen. Smith at Capitol

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator John
Walter Smith returned to Washington
today for the first time since he was
struck and injured by taxicab some
weeks ago. Senator Smith came over
in his automobile to attend an inn
portant meeting of the Naval Affairs
Committee. and left for home after
the business before the committee
had been disposed Of.
He does not expect to come to
Washington regularly for some time,
because he is still suffering from his
injuries. but he has improved to such
an extent that he feels able to come
over when matters in which he is es-
pccially interested, or in which the
party needs his vote are up. senator
Smith was in excellent spirits during
his visit today.
