CAPITAL SAYS
DAWES LOSES
RULES FIGHT
Politicians Predict Only Twenty
Senator'S VIII Vote for
SENATE RULES CHANGE
BY CHARLES p. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Aug 27.-Wash-
ington has an idea that Vice Presi-
dent Dawes viii come back for the
next session of Congress consider
ably chastered.
His demand for q change of the
Senate rules has been sized up here,
all along, as bid for the reputation
Of regular "heller" chap who
jumped right into the midst Of
bad situation. which others had de
plored for years without being able
to do anything about it, and straigh-
tened it out in jig time.
Very few politicians believe
Dawes cared much about the Sen
ate rules, in and for themselves,
one way or the other. They think
he simply wanted to create sensa-
ton by doing something strenuous
and the Senate rules We're handy"
The trouble is, the vice presi-
dents performance requires a
climax, in order to be impressive,
and there isn't going to be anv.
That's generally agreed. Nor, IN
to date, has it proved a particularly
popular attraction. The public
hasn't "enthused" over it, it certain
ly makes no hit among the senators,
President Coolidge, and his advis'
ors regard it with cold indifference.
They don't like Dawes very we'll
anyway.
Senator Moses estimate that 20
is the MAXIMUM number of votes
the Dawes scheme viii get, is con
eidered here to be high, if anything.
A year ago this time there were
many signs Of coming political
party realignment, as conservatives
and liberals rather than Republi-
cans and Democrats. There arc
few such signs now. The leaders

Given Chance to Tes-
tify at Open Hearing

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 60
Action by the senate on the con-
current resolution demanding
designations Of % prison Off
cials, adopted yesterday by the
house, was indefinitely postpon-
ed today, when a resolution by
Senator t. G. Pollard of Tyler
ordering hearings by the senate,
was adopted Is to 8.

feted as a substitute to a similar mo.
tion offered by Senator 7. ]. Holbrook

Under the resolution, public hearings
will be held by the senate, acting as the
committee of the whole, beginning next
Thursday night at 8 o'clock and nightly
thereafter. Each of the prison officials
whose resignation have been demanded
will be given an opportunity to come
before the senate to give additional
testimony.
The resolution was supported by
Senator Holbrook, who declared the SEN
ate should have an opportunity to hear
the testimony by which the officials
had been condemned
Senator Strong said he wanted to
learn why it was the chairman Of the
advisory board in December had made a
report to the governor declaring all
was well" with the prison system, and
45 days later had experienced com
plete change of heart and had character
lied it as full of corruption
Senator Pollard insisted he had every
confidence in the joint committee but
questioned the propriety of passing
judgment upon the officials named
without giving them an opportunity to
be heard.
The resolution was opposed by Sen
ators Edgar Witt, Eugene Miller and
Jesse Smith. the senate members of the
joint committee. Witt declared the re-
port Of the committee was fair" be-
cause every man named had been given
an onportunitv of coming before the
committee with any testimony that he
might want to present.
Senator Holbrook asserted he knew
that some of the officials whose res e
nation had been demanded are as hon
orable as the senator from McLennan
(Witt).

ately after it's arrival here from Wash

nois, near the Mccormick summer home

ing final burial at Byron.
Senator McCormick's death was con-
siderej in some quarters as likely to
have far reaching effect on the re-
publian factional disturbances in Illi-
nois. For several years he had headed
the wing of the party opposed to Gov
ernor Len Small and Senator Elect
Charles s. Deneen, who defeated him for
the nomination.
