 MEMBERS
By Associated Press)

ALBANY, Jan. 15.-The first step in preparation for trial of the five socialist assemblymen suspended be- cause of their alleged unhtncss to hold office was taken today with the or ganization of a judiciary committee which is to hear the evidence.
 Indications tonight, however, were that public hearings would not start until next Tuesday.
 The house approved a proposal by Assemblyman Theodore Roosevelt that the committee hearing should be public and that stenographic reports of testimony should be furnished every member of the assembly.
 Before the house adjourned, Assem- blyman Martin McCue, a New York democrat, sharply criticized Charles E. Hughes for his opposition to the assembly's action in suspending the socialists.

MEXICO IS SLOW ID TAKE JAZZ
 SERIOUSLY
By Associated Press5

MEXICO CITY, Ian. 13.-Amcr- ican jazz music which until recently has been received cold1y by the Mexi- can public is gaining in favor and no dance program or cafe concert here is now complete unless it includes three or four selections reminiscent of Broadway's whining sapophones and syncopated pianos. The reason for the slowness with which the capi- tai has succumbed to the jazz is that the latter possesses none of the rhythm and seductive melody of na- tive Mexican music, nor of the Span ish and Cuban music which is next in popularity.
 Bands and orchestras abound here. The Mexican is a natural musician and the songs that have been written for him range from the wild rebel chant of the La Cacaracha" to the dreamy, romantic Beautiful Mexico" "
 Concerts are given in the parks Although termed popular" they are made up for the most part of grand opera selections and American rag time as yet has not found a place on such programs. The Mexican is a lover of classical music.

rBv Associated PressI

WASHINGTON. Jan. Is. - The movement for congressional investi- gation into awards of army decora- lions produced a stormy scene in the house today during which a resolu- ton by Representative Gallivan, dem ocrat, of Massachusetts, calling on Secretary Baker for a statement. was adopted.
 Inc iglt centered largely about Mr. Cali.van's attack on General Pey- ton C. March chief of staff, and other officers assigned to duty in Washing ton during the war.
 The chief of staff and other officers attacked were defended by other members. Representative Gallivan urged adoption of his measure as the start of a general congressional in vestigatiou into the awards of war honors; declaring that proportionate- ly more officers in Washington re ceived Distinguished Service Medals than those in the front lines.
 The services of all lounge lizards of the Second Army of the Potomac" were recognized with decorations, Gallivan charged, including former chiefs of staff who. he said. were re moved for ineaiciency.
 General March was referred to by Gallivan as the high priest of Prus- sianism and the men for whom no officer ever speaks a word except con tempt" adding that his citation for the Distinguished Service Medal would have been written only under orders"
 Several other members lauded the chief of staff for his fairness and eff ciency, declaring he was entitled to any honors conferred on him.

WASHINGTON, Jan 13. - The coal strike settlement commission was enabled to begin it's actual work of considering claims of miners for advanced wages and shorter working hours today by agreement of operat- ors in the central competitive field to participate and abide by the decision of the commission.

Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of America, and other representatives of the mine workers to present the case for the men, Lewis and his associ- ates set forth demands as presented before the strike last November for a 60 per cent increase in wages, a 3O- hour working week and six other concessions. They told the commis- sion they were not attempting merely to obtain for the miners increases over their wartime wages to com- pensate them for increased cost of loving. but to get them enough for permanently raised standards of living
 The miners standards of living, social position and the environment in which they must raise their chil- dren have ever been too low" said Lewis.
