Especial From a staff Correspondent
Of The Evening Worldly

WASHINGTON, June I'm 1913
when there was change in the con
trol Of the Senate. Senator John
Sharp Williams Of Mississippi, made
a notable speech in q caucus OF
Democratic Senators advocating the
adjustment OF free baths and free
barber shop service for Senators.
This speech unfortunately was not
preserved to add to the gaiety Of Ma
lions, as it was made behind closed
doors Those who heard it say it was
q gem.
The Mississippi Senator presented
so strongly the extravaganza Of bath
ing and shaving a Senator at the tax
payers expense that the magnificent
baths in the Senate office building
were closed and the corps. OF attend
ants separated from the Government
payroll. But. the effort to abolish
"free haircuts and shaves" was flu
tile The Senators yielded up their
free baths reluctantly. but to ask
them to dig down in their Jeans for
barber service was too much at one
swoop.
From time imm emf rial the Senate
has maintained barber shop at the
taxpayers expense where four bar
bers receive $1,000 each per annuu
for the exclusive duties OF removing
the hirsute adornments Of Senators
free OF charge. It is well patron.

HOUSE MEMBERS PAY FOR
THEIR BARBERING.

On the House side there is also a
free bath Arrangement, but the mem
bers are required to pay for their
barbering on the basis of fifteen cents
for shave Ind twenty-five cents for
a haircut, which is considerably below
the tariff the general public pays
these days. The House BARRIERS are
also on the Government payroll at
about $1,000 per year, and they are
expected to act as janitors during the
off season when the members are
away from Washington. The free
bath for House members does not
appear TO be a heavy charge on the
public treasury, having only one or
two attendants. and some people
think it ought to be encouraged.
Before Honest John" Shafroth re-
tired from the Senate two years ago
the free barber shop privilege was
his pet antipathy. Whenever the SEN
ate Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses had q session at which a bar
Der shop expense came up for ap-
prevail Senator Shafroth invariably
attacked the system. But he was
always outvoted by those. who liked
the free shaves and haircuts, and so
the institution still exists
Another petty profteering graft of
the Senate is the mineral waters.
Several thousand dollars a year is ex-
pended from the Senate contingent
fund to purchase White Rock, Apoli-
naris and other fancy waters for Sen
ators. Formerly a liberal supply was
sent daily to each OF the niuety-slx
offices of Senators, but when some of
these waters began to cost around
two bits for a bottle only sufficiently
large TO quench one individuals thirst
the system was changed.
Now great tubs filled with spark
ling mineral waters on ice are kept
in the Senate cloak rooms. A Senator
may on request have as large a supply
asa he desires sent to his office, and
this Is done on a scale which makes
the expense by no means trifiing,
