Will BE Third Change.

This would mark the third change
In the Senate assembly room since the
Capitol building was constructed. The
Senate at first occupied the small
chamber now used by the Supreme
Court.
Under the plan. the Senate cham
Der would be moved forward to the
north wall of the Senate wing, and
the architects report that no material
structural changes would be needed
to carry out the design. The work
would be confined to the tearing out of
partitions and the relocation Of gal
leries and Offices.
The same dimensions of the cham
Der, 113 feet by so feet, would be re-
tained but q half circle or amphithe-
alter form, with a covered ceiling.
would be substituted for the present
oblong shape to improve acoustics and
vision.
The new assembly room would oc-
cupy the space now devoted to the
Presidents and Vice President s of
fees and the marble room. Quarters
for the Chief Executive and the Vice
President would be located side by
side on the east side of the Senate
with entrances through a large ante
room. The marble room, now used as
n. lounging and conference retreat for
Senators, would be replaced by a
wide marble promenade around the
entire alf-circle in the rear of the
Senate, with connections to the cloak
rooms.
Public corridors would be built be
hind the Senate chamber to provide
p. direct line between the two stair
cases and additional Offices would be
constructed between the corridors and

the petitioner wants his daughter,
Mrs. Irene Stanaitis, removed as his
committee, declaring that he has been
on parole from St. Elizabeth's for
% years, during which time he worked
for the Government until his retire
ment in 1921.
He says his committee has received
his share in the estate of his brother,
valued at $4,000, and has other funds
belonging to him. He is capable, he
states, of handling his property and
supposed that his release on parole
restored him to his legal status.

SENATE CHAMBER
CHANGES PLANNED
Alterations to Be Made to
Give Sunlight and Direct
Air Currents.

The historic Senate chamber, occu-
pied continuously since 1859. will give
way to modern alterations to provide
outside air and light under plan
being worked out by Republican and
Democratic leaders.
Informal agreement has been reach
ed to prosecute the plan at the next
session at the urgent request of health
crusaders, who claim the mechanical
ventilation does not provide proper
living conditions in the present inside
quarters because of the absence OF
sunlight and direct air currents.
The plan conforms with the original
model of Thomas L. Walter, the ar
chitect who designed the Senate and
House wings of the Capitol. The cost
10 estimated at $3.50 900, exclusive of
a ventilatlng system, wnlcn consulting
architects claim still would be neces-
sary.

STANDARD CONTESTS
PROBE OF OIL LANDS
Hearing Held for Injunction to
Prevent Elk Hills Inquiry
by Work.

Justice James Francis smith of the
United states Court of Customs Ap-
pealS, sitting as a member Of the Su-
prelne Court of the District of Go.
lumbia, yesterday heard arguments Of
counsel on the application for an in
junction filed by the STANDARD OH Co
of California against Hubert Work.
Secretary of the Interior To prevent
the prosecution of an inquiry by the
Government into the mineral char
acter of the land of the oil COMPANY
included within the Fix Hills reserve
in California.
Suit was filed last October. ard on
an application for u temporary in
junction Chief Justice Walter |. Nc
Coy declined to interfere with the
Government. The case comes UP on
it's merits. The inquiry was to be
held at Nasalia. calf, and was in
pursuance of n joint resolution of
Congress introduced by Senator Thorn
as j. Walsh of Montana. chief pros
ecutOr of the oil inquiry.
Counsel for the oil company claimed
that the title tn the land in contro-
versy had been derived from he State
of California more than IL years q go
and that an investigation into the
claim of its minera l-bcaring character
had been held before Albert r. Fall
then Secretary of the Interior. in 1921.
had given verbal directions 10 the
commissioner of the General Land
Office To dismiss the proceeding. This
action. il is claimed. established the
title of the company and took from
the department the right ~ make tho
proposed inquiry.
The Government counsel. following
the ruling of Chief Justice Mccoy in
denying the application for an injunc-
ton. contended that the court has no
Jurisdiction TO interfere with the de
partment, which has the right 10
prosecute the inquiry despite the
verbal directions Of Fail TO drop the
former inquiry.
The court proha bly, will take the
matter under advisement and render
a decision later
