Special Sessions of Past

made no such call, believing that Con-
gress could handle the problems before
it in regular session. There has been 10
attempted tariff legislation during the
Coolidge administration, although there
have been demands from certain sec
tons of the country for modification Of
the present law.
April Is has been the generally &C
cepted date for special session Of the
new Congress. In some quarters, how
ever. the hope is expressed that the
session may be convened earlier, GER
tainly by April /, so that the legislators
may get down to work and complete
the tariff and farm bills and get away
from Washington by July /. Senator
Shortridge of California has urged
this earlier date upon the President
elect.
An effort Is to be made to confine
the subjects with which the special ses-
sion is to deal to tariff and farm re-
lief. The ways and means committee
Of the House Is at present holding tariff
hearings in preparation for writing a
tariff bill to be introduced in the House
when 1t meets in the special session. 1t
is expected that by the time the spe-
cial session opens farm bill cmbody-
ing the views of Mr. Hoover also will
be ready for presentation.

lifted, ready for flight. 1t represents
genius, the creative spirit-what you
will, and has been cast in bronze, but
is shown here in plaster. The whole
group stands not more than or 10
inches in height. It was modelled last
Summer at Peterborough, while Miss
Hill was a member of the Mcdowell
Colony and occupied one Of the cabins
in the woods, the one in close proximity
to MacDowell'S original cabin, where
some Of his best music was composed.
One of Miss Hills medallion por-
traits, and also one Of her drawings,
is Of Miss Agnes Kendrick Gray, the
poeteSs, who was also working at
Peterborough last Summer.
witnessing further to Miss Hills ver-
satility is reading desk in wood which
she designed and is included in this
exhibition.
Whatever Miss Hill undertakes to
do will invariably reflect her artistic
temperament but in the making of
little bronzes, she especially excels.

A THIRD member of the Mcdowell
n Colony, Prentiss Taylor, is exhibit
ing here at this same time. His work is
set forth in the upper room at the
Arts Club, and consists of costume de-
signs for the theater and a series of
Arrangements" inspired by and pur-
posed to accompany "Endvmion." The
latter are abstract and in the new
manner. The artist himself says that
he has been told that Keats would not
approve of these distractions, but
Keats was young when he wrote EN-
dymion," and it Is his conviction that
as these works represent in art the
present spirit of youth, he would have
been in sympathy with them. To the
average visitor, in all probability these
distractions will not be Ineligible, but
there is no doubt that they are sin
cere; an effort to find wider express
sion.
TN the two rooms on the first floor of
- the Arts Club are to be seen water
colors by Margaret Lent and Roy Clark,
very different in manner; interesting
contrast. therefore, one to the other.
Miss Lents work is broad and strong
and vigorous, amazingly SO for work in
this medium. Mr. Clarks Is rather
high in key, clear and delicate in color
In both one feels much to commend,
much that is admirable.
Miss Lent, it will be remembered, has
been the recipient for two years Of the

Her portrait drawings, of which num-
Der are shown, are sensitive and eX-
tremely individualistic.
An interesting contrast is made by
two masculine portraits in oils, one of
Ernest Thompson Seton, a tour de
force, produced, it is said, in six hours,
showing the famous author at his desk
with ink bottle, pens and paraphernalia
before him; the other much more
studied and traditional portrait of Prof
Oster Of Columbia.

dence in Washington and will be per-
manently located here in the future.

Gambling LOCALIZED
As Lure to Tourists

Realizing what attraction gambling
has for the American tourist, PanamaS
Congress has passed a bill authorizing
gambling. with a proviso that govern
ment revenues therefrom be used for
street Improvements and for advertising
Panama in the United States as tour
ist center. The bill was passed after
heated debate, the arguments that Pam
ANA could offer the tourist as much as
does Havana finally prevailing. Several
American companies have already ap-
piled for exclusive rights for gambling
enterprises, but the government is with
holding the concession until guaranteed
that the buildings will be of modern
conssrussien and tsiSiy operated. 81

government of Great Britain and other
foreign nations to their merchant ship
ping. In consequence he called the
sixty-Seventh Congress again into spe-
cial session, this time to meet Novem-
Der 20, 1922, so that he might put the
issue to the test and obtain action on a
merchant marine bill before the Con-
gresS closed March 4, 1928. BY its op-
ponents the shipping bill was promptly
dubbed the ship subsidy BILL Strong
opposition developed, and the bill did
not become law. Since then no effort
has been made to provide for a direct
governmental subsidy to the American
merchant marine, although several laws
have been passed to assist in other
ways the establishment of a permanent
merchant marine.

CASE SETS PRECEDENT
BY PAUL r.. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. - The
senate today officially censured Sen
ator Hiram Bingham (Rep., Conn.,
for employing secretly an agent Of
the Connecticut Manufacturers As
sociation to assist him in connec-
ton with the pending tariff bill.
This action was taken when the
senate adopted the censure resolu-
tion of Senator Norris Rep., Neb9
by a vote of 81 to %.
The resolution does not call for
the resignation of Bingham nor for
any other action, but is only an ex-
preston of the sense of the senate.
The resolution, adopted as the
packed chamber sat in solemn
silence, expressed the sentiment of
the senate that the employment
bringing the agent, Charles L. cyan
son, into the secret meetings of the
senate finance committee when it
was writing the tariff bill, "iS con-
trary to good moral and senatorial
ethics and tends to bring the senate
into dishonor and disrepute." Norris
accepted a modification stating the
employment was not the result of
corrupt motives on Bingham's part.
Bingham, tall and scholarly, be-
comes the first senator in twenty
seven years to be called thus to ac-
count publicly because he employed
Charles l.. Eyanson, secretary of
the Connecticut Manufacturers AS
sociation, as his personal "secre-
tary" and tariff expert during con-
sideration of the pending tariff bill
by the senate finance committee.
Bingham refused to avert it by
an apology, and his friends have
been unable to induce Morris to
soften the blow by changing the
word condemn" in his resolution
to "disapprove."
Reports that a representative of
the German chemical industry has
been employed in the Office of a
Democratic senator will be investi-
gated by members of the lobby in
vestigating committee, it was
learned today.
Senator Thomas J. Walsh Oem.,
Mont.), member of the investigating
committee, announced that several
witnesses in the case would be
called to appear in connection with
the report before the committee.
Senator Robinson (Rep., Ind.) de-
clared he intended to ask for sub
pena of the alleged representative
of the German firm as soon as he
returns from Indiana, where he is
going Tuesday to vote.

One Wounded, Recaptured
by Guards in Break
From Prison.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. AFTER
cutting their way through the con-
crete roof of a new cell block, three
prisoners slugged and shot their
way from the state penitentiary
here early today. One of them,
Arthur BROKER, %, was shot by a
guard and was recaptured.
After cutting their way from the
cell block Brooker and hs compan-
ions, Guy Tenant, 80, and William
Miller, 20, lowered themselves to the
prison wall, slugged j. r. Mont
gomery, a guard, seized his two
shotguns and lowered themselves
over the wall with a rope.
AS the three prisoners fled Guards

with them. It was not known Brook

covered hiding near the prison wall
unable to flee with Tenant anc
Miller because his his wound.
BROKER was shot in the right arm
and right side. His condition is not
critical.
The new cell block, completed
only recently, was believed escape
proof. The prisoners apparently had
secreted sharp instruments in their
cell and had been gradually cutting
their avenue of escape.
Guard Montgomery just had
emerged from his sentinel tower
when the three convicts attacked
him. His cries attracted Guards

opened fire.

Firemen say several blazes in the
vicinity of the Olive street residence
are believed to have been ignited
by some one with a fire mania.
The fire started in a first-f1oor
room, clothes closet and trunk.
The women, smelling the smoke,
climbed from the bedroom to the
front porch roof. They handed the
children to neighbcrs. Eldon, the
baby, was tossed into the arms of
Harvey Hashman, 2043 Olive street.
In the meantime, neighbors led
by Claude Lemon, 2041 Olive street,
fought the blaze with a garden hose
until the arrival of engine company
No. 90.
The women were rescued from the
roof by Lieutenant William Palli-
kan, William King and John Casey

No. %.
Damage to the house was esti-
mated at $500 and damage to wear
ing apparel and contents estimated
at $700.

Hotel ROBBED
BY Lone BANDIT
CoWes Employees, Snatches
$3.50 From Drawer.

Despite shouts Of Negro por-
ter that aroused every guest in the
hotel, a well-dressed bandit robbed
the Linden hotel, 323-325 North Il
linoi5 street, of $3.50 early this
morning.
Trussed with wire to the elevator
cage, Morris Banks, So, Negro, 1888
Roache street, freed his hands,
started the elevator for the base
ment, and as it descended, cried:
''Robber! Robber! Robber"
Guests, in pajamas and negligee,
ran from rooms on each of the four
floors, to a center court from the
balconies of which they watched the
exit of the bandit.
Banks and John Taylor, so, night
clerk, were seated in lounge chairs
when the bandit entered the lobby
carrying a black bag. Banks stepped
forward to carry the mans luggage
and looked into the muzzle of an
automatic pistol.
Taylor and Banks were bound in
the elevator cage with their hands
above their heads. A Negro bakery
delivery boy, who entered the hotel,
was forced to lie on the elevator
floor. The bandit vaulted the desk
counter, and jerked the cash regis
ter drawer out on the floor.
Banks, loosing his bonds, slammed
shut the elevator door, and began
his noisy ride downward.
The bandit, believed to have had
an accomplice on guard outside,
Snatched the bills in the cash
drawer, passed up three watches and
more than So in change, and fled.
