steel worker, whom the town Of New
Castle ostracized because she took q
motorcar ride with another man., is
leaving, in spite Of the fact that the
townspeople who pf1loried her for her

censured her for her act from the pull

Now the Mcintyre family, which In

Mrs. Mcintyre is under bail here as
material witness in connection with
the death of ]. @. Abraham, travelling
salesman, who was slain while driving
with Mrs. Mcintyre, Mrs. Harriet Olds
and her brother, Roy Phillips.
The people Of New Castle, whose

Even the ministers who condemned
her have gone to her and apologized.

community, went to call on "Scotty"
and his wife. There she saw the spir-

CONGRESS IN SESSION
More Than $50 New Bills Were
Filed in House.
Most Of Them Of Minor Import Likely
to Die Unless Acted on
Before March q.

Washington Congress reconvened
with the customary brief and routine
opening sessions, attended by great
crowds and marked by an address, in
the Senate, by President-elect Harding
as an unique and historical feature.
Senator Harding took his seat,
answered to roll call and made a brief
address from the rostrum.
The principal business was to ar
range for receipt of President Wilson'S
message. New members elected last
November to fill vacancies were sworn
in and adjournment taken.
The House immigration committee
bill prohibiting immigration for two
years was reported out and the rules
committee will consider rule for its
immediate consideration. More than
$50 new bills and resolutions were Of
fered in the House. The new House
measures included proposals for re-
peal Of war laws, for appropriations
of millions of dollars for many pur-
poses, pensions and measures for far
mer's relief.
Committees are to begin Immediate
ly on the measures left from preceding
sessions and on the new grist. Call
for numerous committee meetings this
week were issued, but leaders said
that the regular appropriation bills
would have the right Of way. They
added that it was hoped to pass all
Of them before March 4, but that con-
siderable other legislation would be
squeezed in" 1t also was said there
probably would be a short holiday re-
cess about December % over New
Years day and that the principal work
would come after the holidays.
OF the new bills and resolutions in
troduced in the Houses only a few
were of general importance. All will
die unless enacted before March 4.

direct and unjust criticism of the
board and not based on facts.
