Nine Months Doing Moth ing Causes Alarm Among
 Eastern Members.

Washington, Sept. 2.---Opposition to the leadership of Representative NIOn- dell is becoming very pronounced among Republicans in the East in the House of Representatives who are planning to insist upon a change of policy at the next Republican confer ence. AIondell succeeded Representa- tive James R. Mann as Republican leader in the House, after a bitter fight, which left scars that have not since healed The feeling against AIon5elTs leadership took the form of open revolt at a recent conference, when his party virtually denounced as a reclamation project the bill spon sored by Nondell for the reclamation of lands for soldiers and sailors. In the nine months during which the Republicans have been in charge not single bill of a constructive na- ture has appeared. assert the Republi- cans who are criticising the leader i ship in the House. The daylight saw Iings law has been repealed, over the veto of President Wilson, by the strong Republican vote from the az riculturaI districts, and the Woman Suffrage resolution was passed Aside from this. and the passa ge by the House of two small tariff bills in tended to protect American producers from competition from Germany, the House has done nothing to justify Re publican control, it is pointed out by Republican critics.
 Republicans are becoming much worried in the House about the way the country is viewing the return of Republicans to control Most of the House members disagre with the Republican Senators who are attempt ing to defeat the treaty and to make
 radical reservations in the League of Nations. They are afraid that Presi-
 dent Wilson in his tour around the country win become so strong as to idefeat Republican opposition to the treaty, and that the natural result of ithis will be trouble for the party in 1920.
 As to 1920, the House Republicans
 who are critical of the alleged fail
 ures of the House leadership, are [ asking on what platform the Repub-
 licans will make their argument for
 retention of Republican control of the
 House. A group of progressives
 have discussed the situation most
 earnestly, and, led by Representative Longworth of Ohio, they will make q
 demand that the Republicans in the i House get down to real legislat ative
 work. Their demands will be pre-
 sented at conference scheduled for
 this week. when the final attitude ot
 the party on the Soldiers and Sailors Land Settlement bill will be disclos-
 ed At this conference the election
 of a chairman of the Republican
 Congressional Committee will be con
 sidered. Many Republicans say tho . | chairman should be a strong, positive factor in party politics. and they arc
 opposed to re-electing Representative
 S. D. Fess.

 NORWALK MAKES
 HOUSE COLLAPSE
Phenomenon Raises Club house From Foundations
 and Rips Flooring
THREE ARE INJURED
 IN THUNDER STORM
Waterspout Runs Distance of Two Miles, Leaving
 Wreckage In Its Wake

South Norwalk, Sept. 2.-Created by the clashing of two severe thunder storms which swept over Long Island late yesterday, a giant waterspout ripped off two Hours of a clubhouse here. lifted the remainder of the build ing four feet from it's foundations and tore several craft in the Sound to pieces. Three occupants were thrown into the air and injured.
 The phenomenon-wate rare- ly occur elsewhere than in the tropics appeared off Roton Point, sum- mer colony to the west. in the form of towering column of blackening water, swirling, twisting and drawing objects towards it. Scores of persons out in small boats were startled by the audiences of it all, and owe their escape to the fact that they were not
 in the path of the spout. It was fully 100 feet through the base and tapered in at the center, like an hour glass,
 then spread out again and was lost in ? low-hanging, ebony cloud Fol-
 lowing a channel in and out among
 the islands, it whirled from west to
 east through the group at a velocity
 that frightened the residents.
 A catastrophe was narrowly averted
 at kayser Island, which is used as the summer headquarters of the Society of Jesus. when the waterspout swept just off it's edge. Barely missing Bell Island and several smaller ones. the full force of the whirlhAr water struck Betts Island with its solitary club house. It was two stories high not counting the attic, and measured 25 by 50 feet. Six members of the At ! lantiC Boat Club of New York were | in the building at the time, George ! Connors, Daniel Collins, Arthur Ptiffer 1 Alfred B. Mawbey, John Reid, and IGeorge Neuheisal and a steward.
 | Collins and Connors, seeing the storm approaching, but not the water spout, hurried to the second floor to close the window and it was while i they were upstairs that the force of the wind from the waterspout lifted the second floor and attic from the
 rest of the house and threw the debris
 in all directions. Simultaneously. the rest of the building was lifted from Tits foundations and thrown down a gain. Collins and Connors were pick ed up by the wind and dropped in a clump of bushes outside the house. i Reid and the steward, on the first l floor, were hurt by fallen mbers and plaster and went to New York for medical treatment, while Collins and Connors were attended by Dr. Franklyn c Brown of East NOrwalk. The cabin was stripped from a mo- 1 tor launch in which the New York l party had made the trip to NOrwa lk. The waterspout had run two miles before it disappeared, leaving beams from the shattered house in it's wake.

COST OF LIVING STILL GOING UP
 IN FAR JAPAN

Tokio. Sept. -CCorrespondence of the Associated ress)-Soaring prices for food and clothing as well as house rent show no diminution in Japan. The cost of living, according to the Yorodzu, has increased ten-fold since 1887 while wages have advanced only four-fold As against 36 yen a koku, for instance during the rice riots of August, last year, the price of rice has now risen to 56 yen a koku Give bushels) and a grave food crisis has resulted.
 Japan is a country of large families and with rice costing about $2S for every five bushels the head of a fam fly has to do some hard thinking. Other food necessities, especially su- gar, which Japanese use considera bly, have risen in proportion. to rice. It is the great middle class of Japan. the people working on small salaries, which is raising the greatest cry.
 Although wealth has increased as a result of the war the real wealth of the masses has decreased and the people of Japan are relatively poor. At the same time national tastes have changed and the Spartan simplicity of olden times is no longer endured.
 Low salaries in public services have so depleted the personnel that govern ment institutions like the postofice, telegraphs, police force and schools are all undermanned. Industrial com- panies. however, are paying dividends of from 50 to 100 per cent. and dis tributing big bonuses, lands and rents are risi--g in value and the farmer is hoarding his rice until he has pushed the market to it's highest notch. The distress of today is chiefly felt by the law-abiding class of the nation. No riots have occurred like last year. Party are most serious and only real | action on constructive legislation will l satisfy those Republicans who are
 dissatisfied with the legislative rec
 ord of 1lnAAr marty.

POLICE SEIZED ALL MOTOR CARS
 DURING STRIKE

Milan, Sept. 2.---During the re- municipal authorities ordered all mo- tor cars and trucks parked in a spe- cial reservation so that there would be no danger of their being comman- deered by the strikers. As a result of the order more than 2,OO0 automobiles of all types remained in the reserva- tion under a special guard until the termination of the trouble. No one wsa allowed to use a motor vehicle during the disturbance.

and that he does not view things from a national viewpoint. They charge that the leadership or Mon dell and Fordney is responsible for the biggest legislative fiasco of the session-the failure to pass semi luxury tax repeal bill. These Re publicans assert that these two men made it impossible to pass the bill bv ttacking the Democratic Tarin bill and by asserting that the revenue law of 1918 would not be sufficient to meet the expenses of government. After such speeches action on the proposed repeal was postponed and it is probable that the tax will not be repealed in this session of Congress
 Tn the closing days of the Democratic session the tax was repealed without opposition, but Democrats after Ford ney's attack, as well a smany Repub- Iicans declined to vote for repeal
