Uncle Joe Cannon's Stogies Safe;
Smoot Bill Prohibiting Smoking
InDepartments Excludes Capitol

is. don't want to be committed to
one side and then find it necessary
to vote the other way"
An office directly under that OF
Representative Cannon in the Capt.
tol was damaged $500 a few weeks
ago by a FIRE which was blamed to a
cigarette thrown into a waste bas-
ket. The Department of Commerce
suffered a fire several days ago in
which valuable census records were
destroyed, and there have been four
other fires in government buildings
that cigarette smokers are said 70
have caused. Senator Jones. of
Washington, notified the Senate yes
terday that he had received a per-
sonal letter from an employe of the
Department of Commerce declaring
that the fire there was caused by a
cigarette. Senator Jones was told
that 100000 damages have been
caused by cigarette fires in govern
ment buildings here in Washington.
He said he had seen a Pension ONCE
emplOye throw a burning cigarette
into a truck loaded with paper,
starting a fire which threatened
considerable damage.
Il shall OFFER my bill Friday If It
is ready and have the opportunity.
It's object Is to safeguard public
records from the perils of fire. and
forbidding smoking in the depart
ments where records are housed is
a direct way of treating the evil.
1t was not thought necessary to in
clude the Capitol where there are
continually shifting crowds and lit
tie to be harmed in the way of
records. I have not so far investi-
gated the cause of the fire which
occurred in the Capitol recently
said Senator Smoot last night.
Senator Smoot is chairman OF the
Senate Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee. In discussing the need for
protecting public records following
the fire at the Department OF Com
merce. he said a few days ago that
the four destructive fires which
preceded that one wsre caused by
smokers, and he thought a stop
should be put to the practice at
once. Senator PoindeXter suggested
the erection of an archives building
to take care of the government s
valued papers, and Senator Smool
declared that such a building not
only would insure safety for these
documents, but would make room in
the overcrowded buildings for many

LOBBYIST REPORT
AND REGISTRATION
URGED BY KENYON
Senator, Besieged by Day
and Night, Asks
Relief. ?

A broom to clean the lobbyists
from the Capitol corridors and the
Railways of the Congressional ONCE
buildings will be offered to the Sem
ate early next week when Senator
William S. Kenyon. of Iowa, intro
duces a bill which he has already
drawn providing. for the registra-
ton and regulation of persons who
seek to influence legislation before
Congress.
The measure is the result of the
recent attack which the Senator
made against the flood of lobbyists
that have come to Washington as
the result of tariff and tax revision
hearings now under way. He com
planned at the time that it was i'm
possible to leave the Senate cham
Der, stroll about to the Senate once
Building, ride home on a street car
or have any peace in his own resi-
dence without being pursued and
pestered by the representatives of
interests that wished to obtain this
or that concession for their en-
ployers.
Would Mean Registration.
8 Senator Kenyon's bill would make
II unlawful for any person to ap-
pear before a committee Of Con-
gress when acting for himself Oh
any person. corporation or associa-
tion without first being registered
in both the Senate and the House,
and that this register shall contain
the name of the person by whom he
is employed and what legislative
matters he is interested in.
The bill continues:
That no person whose name is
not recorded in said legislative
docket shall appear before any COM
mittee of Congress unless requested
so to do by such committee with
reference to any legislation pending
before Congress or consult with
members OF either house OF Con-
gress, unless requested by a mem
ber thereof to do so. No person
acting as such legislative agent
shall have any interest in any bill
contingent upon its passage. No
person who has ever been a member
Of either house OF Congress shall
act as such legislative agent"
The bill further provides that all
persons registered must report each
year on the money that they have
spent and the fees they have re-
ceived and fiXes a penalty Of from
$500 TO IS 600 for any violation of
the act.
Senator Kenyon said yesterday
that he thought the time had ar
rived when the speedy dispatch OF
business in Congress made 1t i'm
perative that such legislation be
adopted and that the incoming OF
a new administration was the best
time for a little housecleaning at
the Capitol as well as in other gov
ernment departments.

SENATE BLOCKS
ATTEMPT TOCUT
ARMY STRENGTH
Supporters Of Nitrate
Bill Charge Effort to
Kill Their Measure.

Consideration of the New resolu-
tion to reduce the army to 1850
was blocked in the Senate yesterday
by proponents Of the nitrate bill on
thesgrOund that it was an adroit at
tempt of the opposition to sidetrack
their measure.
The nitrate bill had the right Of
way. but Senator WadswOrth. Re
publican. Of New York. asked for
unanimous consent to take up the
New resolution. The War Depart
nknt. he said. is enlisting men at
thk rate of 1000 a day which, tigur-
ingN that it costs the government
aboIt $1,000 annually for each man,
means that 100000 is being lost.
he. added, each day that action is
deferred.
Senator Underwood. of Alabama
democratic floor leader, who led the
attack, agreed to give the New reso-
luton priority If the Senate would
Consent to vote on the nitrate bill
at p fixed hour yesterday.
The trade was designed to limit
the debate which opponents of the
measure are planning in an effort
to talk it to death, but Senator
WRfsworth sidestepped the propo-
sitfon.
an the discussion Of the New reso-
luton, Senator Wadsworth voiced
hiss adisappFOval Of the amendment
offered by Senator LenroOt, Repub-
fican, Of Wisconsin. to reduce the
army to 10000. He said he doubted
the wisdom OF the move, because
the~N National Guard is not under its
reorganization, as good as it was
before the war, and consequently
It could not be relied upon to fur
nish enough troops to meet any
emergency that might arise

UNAWARE HERE
OF LOAN SWITCH
Reported Transfer to Con-
stantine of U. S. Credit
Believed Erroneous.

Reports that the Constantine gov
ernment in Greece had been granted
credit against the loan made by the
United States to the Venizelos
regime, was said to be news TO
Treasury officials yesterday. Unless
the State Department has taken ac-
ton OF which it has not yet advised
the Treasury, it is believed the re-
port from Greece that this govern
ment has extended a $4,000. 900 loan
to that government is erroneous.
The report from Greece was to the
effect that the United States had
granted the new government the
right to the loan that was formerly
allotted to VeniZelos. In all, this
loan originally amounted to $4S, ,oo0,-
900. only part of which has been
actually granted. The remainder of
approximately S35.0O0.0oo is still al
lotted to Greece, but has never been
turned over.
It is understood the terms Of this
loan are that the entire sum Is 10
be expended in the United States,
but may not be used for the pur-
chase of war material. ..
Out of the 10000, 100000 which
Congress approved lending to for
eign governments, there are still
approximately $4,000, 100000 that
have never been turned over to the
creditor nations. This sum has prac-
tically all been allotted. but little
il any OF that not yet expended
will ever be given to foreign ma
tions. Great Britain got nearly one
half the entire allotment and
France received about one-third.
England has paid back over $780,

credits.

FARMERS
TO GET TOGETHER
President Howard OF National Farm
Bureau Urges Laying Aside Of Pre-
Iudlces for Great Advantage OF Ag-
rlculture.

The success of the whole agricul-
tural industry at the present time re-
qulres that every farmer get behind
the county, state and national farm
bureau, according to President How
ard of the National Farm Bureau be-
fore 100 delegates from southeastern
Idaho to a graingrowers meeting at
the Hotel Bannock Pocatello, Monday.
MIR. Howard stated that the great
enemies to successful farmer coopera-
ton were lack of adequate educated
and efficient management, lack of pro-
per financing and jealousy In leader
ship.
Farmers, he stated are In the habit
of getting by as cheaply as possible
with cheap help, poor management
and lack OF brains. They expect o
800 man to fill the shoes of $1,000
men, he said,
The success Of the present farm bur
eau movement he said was doubly In
sured because the farmer was financ'
ing his own project. Ordinarily he
borrowed the money necessary to IL
nance his business ventures and this
lost control OF his own business.
Leadership jealousies were regarded
as the third great source of trouble In
farmer organizations. Mr.. Howard
urgd all producers to forget petty jea'
lousles and unite In q common pro
gram under the leadership and direc'
tionof the American Farm Bureau Fed
