Threatened tragedy was turned into
comedy when passengers on car NO
63 on the Georgia avenue line of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, leaving the pit at w street
few minutes after o'clock this
morning. were thrown into a panic
when something went wrong with the
plow. causing the leads to burn out.
The car, every window of which was
closed. filled with cloud of dense
yellow smoke, through which shot
flashes of that CHASTITY greenish flame
that accompanies any interference
with the current. The smoke and
flash burst up through the floor OF the
car which carried ninety-one pas
senrers. most of them girl war work
ers. and. notwithstanding the enorts
of cooler Individuals to calm the
frightened girls, the war workers
stampeded.

"Oh, let US out: let us OUT. shrieked
several panic-stricken girls, ana tile
chorus was taken up by the others.
Finding it impossible to hght tnelr
way to, and get through the narrow
door, the passengers began kicking
out the windows. and in less time
than it takes to write it the car had
few whole windows left. French heels
crashed against windows. glass
smashed and tinkled to the pavement en- t
or the floor of the car, and the
creaky vehicle began to ooze war
workers at every pore. The girls came

ize the Senate Monday by the election
of a president pro tempore. the secre-
tary of the Senate and Sergeant-at-
arms.
In accordance with the custom,
Senator Martin said, Truman II. New

he presents himself. The contest Tor
the seat will be decided later, senator

Democrats to Meet Saturday.

A conference of democratic sena-
tors had been called for Saturday
morning at IL o'clock. 1t is expected
that the democrats will determine
upon their line of procedure with ref
erence to the organization of the Sem
ate at that time.
Senator Martin said that, in his
opinion, the notification of the Presi-
dent that both houses of Congress
were in session and ready to receive
any communication from him did not
present any great difficulty, although
the President is in Paris. If neces-
sary. he said, the President can be no.
titled by cable that Congress has as
sembled.
The appointment of committees of
the Senate and House to wait upon
the President to inform him that Con-
gress had assembled and to ask
whether he had any communications
to present to it was customary, but
not essential. Senator Martin said.
He added that the Presidents mes
sage could be sent to Congress from
the White House, just as other mes
sages had been transmitted while the
President was in Europe on his first
visit to Paris while Congress was in
session.
