HOLIDAY RECESS
FOR CONGRESS
Starts Today-Senate not
Organized-Blank Record
for Accomplishments

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20:-Con-
gress began a two weeks holiday
recess today with senate organiza-
ton still incomplete and practically
blank record of Legislative accom-
plishments since it assembled on De-
cember ).
With some Of it's committees func-
tioning during the. holm
House will be able to get down to
the serious business of the session
after 1t reassembles on January j.
The senate, however, will come back
to renew it's efforts to break the
deadlock over the chairmanship of
the Interstate Commerce Committee,
unless it should prove possible for
leaders to effect some sort of a com-
promise in the meantime.
With the senate having agreed
yesterday to defer further balloting
until after the recess, only business
of a purely routine character faceo
the two Houses today. Many SEN
ators and representatives already
have departed for their homes Ia
spend Christmas.
Woth the two ballots taken yes
terday, the senate ran the consec-
utive string to twenty-five, which
sets a precedent for voting of this
kind so far as officials can find from
their search of the records. In fact
they say that the only situation
comparable to this one was the six
days deadlock over the Office OF
president pro tenn in 1911.
As is the case now Republican in
surgents then held the balance OF
power and they succeeded in tying
up the senate for six days, during
which fifteen ballots were taken.
Then there was effected compro-
mise by which the rival Republican
and Democratic candidates, CALM
ger of New Hampshire, and Bacon
of Georgia, alternated every two
weeks in filling the place.

Barber testified that railroad men
were on the road below warning uerl

ed the British government through
the latter representative of Athens
that the departure of King Gaorge

PROHIBITION BUREAU
PLAN BEFORE CONGRESS-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20--Estab-
lishment of bureau of prohibition
of the treasury, thereby removing
enforcement work from jurisdiction
of the commissioner OF internal rev.
enue, will be proposed in congress
soon with the approval of Secretary
Mellon. The new bureau would be
under personal direction of Mr..
Mellon and would be presided over
by a prohibition commissioner re-
sponsible to the secretary alone.
Mr.. Mellon still favors transfer
of prohibition enforcement from the
treasury to the department of JUS
tice, but as long as enforcement
work remains with the treasury he
believes better results can be OBJ
tained through a separate bureau.
