 bridegroom's salute. For when
 Mrs. Hill the second walked out, she walked right in, as Mrs. Hill the third.
 Ever alert gentlemen of the press rushed from the courthouse to the telegraph office to tell the world how the rich son of the pioneering "Jim" Hill had gotten out of matrimony and into it again in the amazingly short space of eight minutes; how his new bride was waiting in a room next the one from which Mr. Hill walked gingerly, eager to make his period of freedom as short as possible.
 The new Mrs. Hill, having been fully informed when her husband expected to be in a posi- tlon to take his third plunge into matrimony, arrived in Livingston with her mother, Mrs. c. R. Meyers of Long Island, and her stepfather. She took rooms at a hotel and awaited the happy mo- ment. It was all over, parental blessing and everything, before the ink on her spouse's decree of divorce was dry.
 When she appeared in the courtroom door, smiling happily and clinging to her hubby's arm, the aforementioned gentlemen of the press crowded around with notebooks and questions. How did she like being a million aires wife? Would she appear on the boards of the Gay White Way again, or would she forget the Follies and devote her life to making Mir. Hill happy and helping him spend his fortune? Were they going abroad for their honeymoon-to Paris, the Riviera and the smart watering places along the blue Mcditer- i.anaan9

Jessica Brown and young Lord Northesk. Lord Northesk is the holder of one of the most ancient titles in all Scotland.
 Not long after the Caswell-Reed TO- nance went glimmcring, Miss Brown de- cided to leave Broadway and try her luck in London. There Lord Northesk saw her and fell in love with her, She went to Paris and he followed. Later she returned to America, and the young nobleman still pursued her.
 Northesk's family strenuously object cd to his affair with the Folles dancer, but his mind was made up. He finally won JesSica's consent to become Lady Northesk, but ran into snag when he found that his bride-to-be had been mar ried and divorced, but not in accordance with the laws of New York State.
 So they went to Chicago, where jus tice of the peace did the tricl, that made the rich and handsome Scottish noble man the happiest of men and Jcssca Brown of the Folies the mistress of a stately manor house.
 Lately, there have been rumors that Northesk and his wife were not hitting it off as well as they might, but there is no talk of divorce and adviccs from Eng land say that these stories are but idle gossip and that the ex-Follies girl has to date, disproved the theory that rich men cannot pick their wives from be- hind the footlights and enjoy welded happiness for long.
 Only little while ago it was that an other Follies maid deserted the foot

Three N. d. Cities
May Be Given New
Federal BUILDINGS

Washington, Jan. .17-(AP)-.
A program providing for. new
postoffices or federal buildings or
enlargement Of present structures
in more than two hundred. cities
has been prepared for congress by
the treasury and postoffice depart
ments.
The allotments were made under
the 100000, 900 act passed at the
last session of congress. but an
preparation of another 100000
600 probably will be required to
carry into effect the full program
which is to be stretched over n
five-year period. Legislation for
that purpose already is pending.
The recommendations drawn nm
BY Secretary Mellon and Postmas-
ter General New are based on q
complete survey of public build
ings needed throughout the coun-
try and are described in the Off
clal report. as representing "the
minimum public building REQUIRE
ments Of each state"
Projects listed in the recon.
mendation are in addition to those
for which allotments were mace
several months ago. The recon-
mendations include:
North Dakota
Fargo-Erection OF new build
ing on site near postoffice, $685.
Pembina-New federal building,
SIS, 900.
Grafton-New building, S85, 900.

Frank Willis Of Ohio was in the chair
and there were only four members
visible on the Republican side. They
were all progressives, Wheeler, Nor
ris, LaFollette and Shipstead.
Shipstead sat pensively all by h i'm
self, while the other three had left
their seats to group together and
whisper.
There is a common suspicion that
when q catcher holds up a baseball
game to walk out and talk to the
pitcher during tight pinch he talks
about the weather or some such ex-
traneous matter as the wisc-cracI
his six-year-old son pulled the night
before.
And the lips of movie actors and
actresses, as they move as if in con-
versation with each other, are sup
posed to be making whitening COM
ment about the director or about the
new blond in the studio. II you want
some real scandal, just, take lip
reader to the movies.
Thus, it might have been supposed
that Norris, Wheeler and LaFollette
were discussing the best place to buy
new suit or perhaps the price of
Scotch.
Nothing of the sort. Wheeler con-
fides, in an absolutely exclusive
statement, that they were discussing
the Nicaraguan situation and that all
three Of them were pretty sore.

the Daugherty committee and when
he was arrested by direction Of The
senate, the federal courts for south
ern Ohio ordered his release. This
action was reversed by today's court
decision.
Senate's Authority at Issue
The senate committee also had ask
ed Daugherty to produce certain
records Of his bank at Washington
Courthouse, but this demand was
dropped subsequently so that the
question coming up to the highest
court was narrowed to involve only
the authority of the senate to COM
pei the attendance Of a witness.
Justice Van Devanter, delivering
the opinion, pointed out that the case
Is now presented did not even i'm
volve the right Of committee to COM
pei a witness to answer questions,
once he appeared. BY refusing to
appear, the court said, Daugherty had
left out of the picture any speculation
as to what might have happened had
he became a witness.
Sinclair did appear before the oil
committee, but refused on advice of
counsel to answer questions.

BY. the Way in
Capital
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Jan. 17.-There seems
to be some difference Of opinion as
to when member of Congress be-
comes a lame duck.
General opinion is that when SEN
ator or representative comes into tbs
final short session Of Congress, after
being defeated for the next Congress,
he's a lame duck. After his term ex-
pires in March, of course, If he hasn't
Deen given some diplomatic or bu.
reaucratic post, he's a dead duck.
Senator Morris Ernst of Kentucky
who was beaten along with some of
the rest of the boys in November,
says that lame duck is one who is
looking for federal job after. the
voters push him out of Congress or
one who accepts such job.
Senator Ernst says he hasn't sought
a government berth and hasn't ac-
cepted one and that consequently you
can't call him a lame duck.
Some of the other defeated SEN
ators don't bother to draw this dis.
tinction.
On the Senate floor the other day
some Democrat was making o speech

punish him for refusal to appear as
a witness.
No Dissenting Vote
No dissent from the opinion was
announced. Senator Wheeler. Demo-
crat, Montana, prosecutor of the
Daugherty committee, said he would
consult with senate leaders before de-
termining the next move.
1t was the first time the highest
court had passed under like circum-
stances on the authority of congress
sional committees to compel witness
es to appear, a subject which was
widely debated during the Daugherty
and oil investigations of three years
ago. Those who disputed the au-
thority of congress to compel testi-
mony included Harry F. Sinclair, the
Gil magnate, and as result contempt
proceedings are pending against hind
in Washington.

SENATE HAS POWER TO COMPEL NAL s.
DAUCHERTY TO COMPLY WITH SUMMONS
ISSUED IN 1924, HIGH COURT RULES

Washington, Jan. 17.-R)-The
power Of the senate to compel Nal S.
Daugherty of Ohio to comply with
the summons issued in 1924 by the
Daugherty investigating committee
was upheld todoy by the supreme
court.
The supreme court held that con-
Gressional committees could compel
persons to appear as witnesses when
the inquiry is for the purpose of aid
ing legislation and that the Daugher-
ty inquiry was for that purpose.
Neither house, the court added, has
power to invade the private affairs
Of individuals, but must confine it's
inquiries strictly within its legisla-
tive functions.
While the Daugherty case original
ed during the last congress which has
expired, the court pointed out that
the senate is continuing body and
that the committee which conducted
the investigation could be revived
and the case prosecuted. 1t was held
that Nal Daugherty must 60 before
