some Of the grade and high schools of

today by the joint congressional
school investigating committee. when
its members were conducted on tour
of the schools by Supt. Ballou and
Asst. supts. Kramer and Wilkinson.
Starting shortly after . O'Clock this
morning from the Capitol. the party
set out in machines and before noon
had completed a close inspection of a
number of glaring examples of un-
members Of Congress were visibly
impressed by the problems confront
ing school officials here. and the SEN
timent of the senators and represent

the conclusion of the trip by Senator
Capper Of Kansas. chairman of the
committee, who stated:
Capper Declares Action Needed.
There is no doubt at all about it.
Conditions in the schools are bad.
Something must be done without de-
lay to relieve the situation. The
committee intends to conduct a sec

schools in outlying sections, away
from the downtown section, which
was visited today. Following the Sec

Agree ON Size of BuildinRs.
In the course of a conversation be-

it was brought out that school au-
thorities are opposed to the erection
of less than sixteen. twenty or twen-
ty-four-room schoolhouses in con-
gested portions of the city. Senator
King agreed with DR.. Ballou that
a twenty -four-room school building
was the most economical in the long
run and, from the standpoint Of stu
dent expansion and educational ia
cilities, was superior to any other
size structure.

.SNAG IN SENATE HIT
BY BAD CHECK BILL

Efforts to put through the Senate
this afternoon the so-called bad
check measure for the District of
tors King Of Utah. Robinson of Ar
kansas and Reed of Missouri voiced
strong objections to the measure as
sent back from conference.
The conference report was made to
the Senate by Senator Jones of WASH
ington. who moved that the Senate
concur in several minor House
amendments. changing the phrase
ology of the bill as originally passed.
Senator Reed of Missouri said that
the bill to his mind was utterly mon
strous and injurious in its moral ef-
feet and in every other way. Such
a law, he said, as the proposed one
would be a disgrace in the statutes
in any civilized country. 1t would
he an unthinkable thing in American
turisprudence, he said, IL man could
utter a check even with criminal in
tent, then If he was caught, could
pay up in five days. ana the crimi-
nality be removed. He likened 1t to
the horse thief who stole q horse and
when detected gave it up and was not
punished.
No Distinction. Says King.
Senator King objected to the bill on
the grounds that there was no distinction
for punishment between the man who
wrote a check for 10 cents and the one
who wrote check for several thousand
dollars. Senator Jones Of Washing
ton said that that matter was left to
the discretion OF the court He said
said he couldn't conceive that court
would impose q fine Of 81. 900 and
give a sentence of year In jail. the
limit provided by the bill. for a man
who issued a check for 10 cents.
Both Senators King and Robinson
told the Senate that in their opinion
the bill looked like an effort to en-
force a civil liability by threat Of
criminal action. and that plainly It
was an effort to use the criminal ma
chinery Of the courts to collect the
civil debt.
senator King said that he realized
the parliamentary situation into which
the bill had gotten itself. but he asked
Senator Jones to withdraw 1t from
consideration for the present. Sem
ator Jones asked that the bill be al
lowed to, lie on the table until again
