SOME CHANGES
 AT WASHINGTON Many Old-time senators and Repre- sentatives Were Retired Yesterday. Republicans Now Have Much Larg- CT Working Majority.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-One hundred and twenty-nine members of the house and senate retired today to private life. Most of them went out m the back wash from the tidal wave which swept the Republican party in- to full control of all the functions of the government, but some few, Re- pubiicans as well as democrats, cleo ted not to run again for their seats.
 One or two of the Republicans may become officials in the Harding ad- ministration, but the great majority will know public life no more for two years at 'east, and many for longer period, if ever.
 The actual number of house mem- bers quitting was 118, but three of these; Mckinley, of Illinois; Har- reld of Oklahoma, Republicans and Carraway, of Arkansas, Democrat go to the other end of the capitol as sen- ators. McKinley's house record was fourteen years.
 T The political landslide of November 2 gave the Republicans much larg- CT working majority in the house-too big in the opinion of some leaders. The new extra session expected to be called soon will start with 301 Repub- licans, 132 Democrats and one Social ist. The lone prohibitionist in the closing congress under which the country went dry was beaten. There is one man shy from Pennsyl- vania-at-large. Ther Republican va cancy caused by the death of the mem elect will not be filled until fall.
 The new senate which convened yes teday in special session to act on nom- inatiops by President Harding con- tains 59 Republicans and 37 Demo- crats, giving the Republicans a ma jority of p as against only 2 major ity during most of the last congress.
 For the second time in history the house will have a woman member, Miss Alice M. Robertson, of the se- cond Oklahoma district who succeeds William W. Hastings.
 Prominent among the twelve Dem- ocrats and two Republican senators retired yesterday besides Senator Sherman were Senators Chamberlain, Oregon. Former Democatic Chairman of the Military Committee; Gronna, North Dakota, former Republican chairman of the Horticulture Commit tee; Hoke Smith Democrat. Georgia, who was succeeded by hTomas E. Watson; Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, and Gore Democrat Oklahoma.
 Another notable was Vice-President Thomas R. Marshal who will go on to chautauqua circuits next week. He will sail in May to remain until the fall.
 Of the fourteen new senators who took their seats today, eleven were Re publicans and two were Democrats.
