Traffic Troubles
in Capital

C. r. Miller, of the trouble de.
partment Of the American Auto
mobile Association, has a swarm
of bees and doesn't know what
to do with it.
The bees were disrupting auto
mobile traffic and the peace of
mind of the community in general
at Fifteenth and Euclid Streets,
Northwest, yesterday afternoon be-
fore Miller captured them.
Miller was summoned to the
scene by a motorist who almost
wrecked his automobile when one
of the bees stung him. Miller
corraIed the swarm, placed 1t in
his automobile and took it to the
A. A. A. garage. The owner can
have the bees IL he will take
them away, Miller said.

La Toilette Opposes
Senator Bingham (R.) OF Connec-
tciut, announced he would favor
such a course. He termed it a
very unfortunate incident" that the
Rules Committee had been chal'
lenged.
II would favor a rule giving the
chairman of the Rules COMMITTEES
the power of granting temporary
floor privileges not only to news
papermen but to the Government
experts SO often needed to advise
Senator's during debates" said Bing.
ham. II would leave it to his good
Judgment as to who should be ad-
mitted to the Senate chamber"
La Toilette. however, has declared
his opposition to this course. He
said it was unfair and unjust" to
give any one Senator or any one
committee the power to admit or
bar newspapermen or others from
the chamber.
The Senate probably will vote on
the proposition later In the week
or early next week.

cations received here "Wednesday by

Benito Chamber OF Commerce.
Mr.. Bell made public a telegram
received from the Laredo Chamber
of Commerce whjsn states.
Increased deportations Of Mexi-
can aliens is creating a serious sit
uation here. II you have the same
trouble, will you join us IN sending
n committee to Washington to ex-
plain the peculiar border conditions
with a view of protecting Mexican
aliens who have lived peacefully in
this country for many years.
we are sending this message 70
all border chambers of commerce
between Brownsville and Nogales."
Mr.. Bell said that he would not
be 8 party 20 any move to suggest
that officers Of the law refrain from
enforcing their duty. but that some
action must be taken in order 70
solve the present, and still more
threatening labor shortage situation
along the border.
1--WE take ID that the immigration
. and border patrol officers are doing
no more than their duty IN deport-
ing aliens. Still there Is no Ques-
sion h,yt that ue are faced with a
serious situation insofar as labor
is concerned, and the probabilities
are that 1t will be come acute in

Box bill is passed.
The Valley should be able, with

secure relief in some manner, and
we should join these other sections
