from attending the inaugural cere-
monies for Herbert Hoover and Charles
Curtis at Washington by tll-health,
Mai. Iseban Miles, 80-year-old uncle of
President Hoover, spent the day before
his radio, listening to the program with

Mai. Miles was moved to tears as the
impressive events were reproduced in
his home, and he added bits of graphic
description to the reports of the radio
announcers, derived from his attend
ance at or 10 other inaugurations.
Eyes, that's Herhert's voice." Mai.
Miles said, as the President responded
to the oath, administered by Chief JUS

Maj. Miles declared he had received
much enjoyment through his long
distance attendance" at the cere-
monies.

SENATORS AWAIT
SPECIAL SESSION
Date of Converting Holds In
terest as Majority of Con-
gressmen Stay in Capital.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The date of the special session of the
Seventy-frst Congress for consideration
of the campaign legacy of farm relief
and tariff revision today was the upper
most question in the minds of those at
the Capitol.
Although the legislative wheels were
at standstill, the Senate was called
into special session to receive the names
of the men the new President had
chosen for his official family and who,
as the heads of the big governmental
departments. must play an important
part in the work of the Hoover admins
tration.
This session, coupled with the antici-
patton of an early converting Of the new
Congress, resulted in the presence in
the city of practically the whole men,
bership of both houses.
The Seventeen Congress, which re-
tired from office on the verge of the in
auguration of Herbert Hoover, lived to-
day only in history and in the memory
of those who had composed its member
ship, but the work 1t had initiated still
was being carried forward.
1t made provision for the creation of
two committees of its successor-the
House committees on ways and means,
to handle tariff, and the agriculture
committee, to consider farm relief. The
members of these committees, although
not sitting in formal session, were pre-
pairing for work on the two questions.
Public hearings already have been
held by the ways and means commit
tee on the tariff and before many days
subcommittee of this body VIII be
called together to take up consideration
of what revisions in existing rates shall
be recommended. Between now and the
opening of the special session the agri-
culture committee hopes to hear all who
may wish to testify on the farm ques-
ton and be prepared to make an early
start on the writing of a bill.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Mrs. Margaret
C. Munns, treasurer of the National
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
said today that Mr. Hoover is the first
President to have the moral courage to
ask the drinker to stop drinking.
Many officials have stressed the en-
forcement of the law" said Mrs. Munns
in her comment on Mr.. Hoover's inau-
gural address, but President Hoover Is
the first President to point out that it is
the drinkers money which creates the
prize for which the criminal underworld
is battling"

public thanks for the Presidents utter
ances and promises. We will endeavor
to make enforcement easier by renewed

FALLS SENTENCE,

For man who was convicted Of accepting a bribe of S100,0O0 q fine Of an equal amount should not be difficult to pay. Hence that part Of the sentence metcd out to Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, is not exceedingly heavy. But the prison sentence of year will be considered heavy by many citizens. Considering that the cx-sccretary not only has shown the ravages of years and his health has been far from reassuring, it appears as if d term Of that length in the peniten- tiary will merely mean 2 term in a government hospital
 The former secretary, Of course, did d most hcinous thing and sym pathy, were he younger man and in good health, would be entirely out Of piece.
 It is possible. Of course, that all legal resources Of his counsel have not been exhausted. A case that took eight years to reach a conviction might well take q little longer be- Tore the final curtain is drawn. But at the present moment Fall stands convicted, and his worst punishment will always be the Judgment at the bar of public opinion and the place in American history that he carved for himself

The pro- grams, which will include music, lectures and drama by persons com pcicnt 10 give the most instructive and entertaining, will be held at the school auditorium, which has q seating capacity of about 600.
 Although the Normal school is q state institution, New Britain, as q community, takes great pride in it. rom It's classic halls come many young women who eventually are engaged as teachers in the public schools here and many New Brit ain girls can look back to happy days spent there under the elevatinc guidance of Marcus White and his assistants.

 There is likelihood, however, that the sturdy citizens of Poland have their own ideas about democracy. That, perhaps, is what is troubling the marshal.

! Connecticut manufacturers, 1t was 1 not surprising that Senator Bingham refused to apologize when given the opportunity. To have done so would have been admitting he had done wrong, which would have been at variance with his former stand. Now
 he will have to take all that is com ing to him.
 It is useless to sympathize with the senior senator from Connecticut He still thinks he is right and every body who doesn't agree with him is wrong. He is like the Irish woman who. when seeing her son march off
 to war, said all the others in the
 regiment were out of step except her Patsy.
 If being in the public eye counts for anything, then Senator Bingham is a huge success. He hasn't got through lodging the bricks in the Eyanson matter when he lands on the front pages in connection with an alleged airplanc trust, Of which he is supposed to be one of the leading lights if not the mouthplece
 Even in this We wouldn't be sur priscd to see him holding the warm end of another hot poker. Mir. Bing- ham needs no special introduction to
 trouble since he began highhatting the Senate.
 What will happen in 1892, when
 MT, Bingham's political future again
 will be decided, naturally yields
 more than cursory speculation. One report has it that the faction in the grand old party in Nutmegia. which l is beginning to froth at the mouth at the leadership of J. Henry ROra- l back, will look around for another ! candidate. And who should come 10
 mind other than Hugh Alcorn, the man whom Messrs. Roraback and i Bingham prevented from becoming

 respects. but it is clear he never graduated from a guessing school.
