MANY MATTERS
AWAIT ACTION
IN CONGRESS
SOlOns Return From Vacation,
Confronted By Almost
Hopeless Task

Washington, Jan. D. -L%D-Congress
returned to work today and it was far
from the child'sf pIay OF the Kris
Kringle suspension that faced it.
Members went to their desks con-
frontcd with the almost hopeless task
OF completing action on the varied
new year calendar in the two months
left in the Goth congress. Leaders,
however, had planned to put through
the legislative thresher the more inn
portant measures and leave the chaff
for next December's session.
Some of the questions that will
come up during the week on the
floors and in committees are primary
expenditures, provided Frank L.
Smith, senator designate from Illinois,
appears to take the oath; the Lau-
same treaty with Turkey, rivers and
harbors, annual supply bills, farm re.
lief, railroad consolidation, sale OF
federal patronage charges, coal and
contested nominations.
Baseball Scandal May Be Aired
There also are prospects that the
latest baseball scandal will come up
for an string as we'll as the con-
kroversy born in the holidays over the
use Of poisonous denaturants in in
dustriM alcohol.
The senatc's program was uncer.
tain, due to the impending battle over
the seating Of Smith. This. however
is not expected to get under way be-
fore the middle of the week. when
the Mckinley successor arrives ia
take the oath.
Today, the senate had only mis-.
cellaneous bills to consider for the
first two hours. with the Lausanne
treaty probable vehicle thereafter
In the house, Chairman Dempsey
Of the rivers and harbors committee
had planned to ask immediate ac.
quiesence in senate amendments ia
the sec, 900, 900 Omnibus rivers and
harbors bill to stave off the delay
that would result in sending it to
conference with the senate.
Tho house also expects to receive
the annual appropriation bill for the
navy and to have some time left for
minor measures on the calendar. The
war department supply bill will, with
the navy bill, keep the house busy
most Of the week A fight was in
sight on the latter, several members
having planned to offer amendments
to provide fundA for construction OF
the three light cruisers authorized
but not appropriated for in 1924.

Law-POlice and Guards
Prevent LoOting'

Calexio, Calf. Jan. 3.-LP)-The
rap of workmen's hammers supplanted
the ominous rumble Of earthquakes
today as Calexico and it's sister city,
Mcxicali, across the international
boundary in Lower California, began
to repair damage aggregating almost
81 ,00O, 900 wrought by temblors which
started early New Years day, and
continued internationally until yes
terday.
Rehabilitation started yesterday
Removal Of debris from the streets
was the first step taken.
There IL some variance in the un-
official estimates of the damage
The Calexico Chamber of Commerce
placed it at $25O,OOO, while z. D. Ag-
new, police commissioner and build
ing contractor. estimated $500, 900
loss from the quake, not including
fire losses. This, with minor damage
not reported, is expected to bring the
total to nearly million dollars.
Minor quakes, which came at ir-
day, did not directly increase the
property loss.
Ma rtial Law Ordered
Civilian guards and police in Ca
lexico and the military in Mexical
have been effective in preventing
any looting. Mexicali was put undel
martial law.
The remarkable feature of thu
tremors has been that, despits
crumbling walls and toppled chin
neys, and the fact that the first ant
most severe shocks came during tn
height Of New Year revelry, there
| have been mo deaths or serious in
juries.
Reports said that Black Butte,
volcano 40 miles south of the border
was active, spOuting smoke ant
vapors. Black Butte was unusuall!
active in 1915, when earthquake
devastated this and other Imperia
Valley cities.

 The victims were William Burns and John Corkery. In both cases the "highwaymen" demanded their overcoats. They got Burns but Corkery showed resistance and the only thing he lost was a jar of pre- serves, which was broken in the scuffle.

His counsel had been undecided whether to seek delay in the other executions to permit the doomed men to testify for his client. A fifth member of the gang turned states evidence.
 The three who must go to the chair have been respited several times since the time of their orig inal sentence. the week of August s.

Annual Herald Turkey Dinner
 Noisy But Successful

The annual Herald newsboys' din- ner went of with bang New Years afternoon at ? o'clock at I. o. o. F. hall on Arch street when about 270 future citizens were the guests of the Herald for an entertainment and turkey dinner. They swooped down on the Herald office at 1880 from Newington, Bristol. New Brit ain, Berlin, Kensington, Forestville, Plainville, Elm Hill and Maple Hill, and all seemed to have the impreS- sion the louder they yelled, the more turkey they would get which didn't seem to help much along the lines of due decorum or orderly conduct. If it wasn't for the Schwortz Broth CTS who kept the crowd breathless with their sleight-of-h tricks, there would nearly have been a riot for no especial reason. Boys were called from audience to assist in the tricks which made a great hit with eNersbouyi anu 5icdl Cleuit Ls uue these two professional actors for keeping the kids" in a good natured mood. The management of Avery's Soda Works came through with soua for everybody, and the boys would have given Avery a cheer but they were too busy drinking and yelling for more. Then there was more turkey and the Herald annual news boys dinner passed into history for year.
