Just before the session adjourned Mr..
Henderson facetiously proposed that the

HIT BY DEATH

The fifth death among the
members of the new Congress
since adjournment of the Seventy
first on March 4 today left the
organization as much in doubt
as ever. There are now two
Democratic and two Republican
vacancies to be filled by special
elections. The membership death
rate so far causes fear that
there may be other vacancies be-
fore December.
MONEYS Death Latest
Represe n tative Charles A.
Mooney (DD, Ohio, died of
pneumonia at his Cleveland home
yesterday. The other Democratic
vacancy was caused recently by
the death of Representative
O'Malley, of a Democratic Brook
lyn district. Democrats are ex-
pected to succeed both Of them.
Republicans hope to fill the
seats of the late Speaker Long
worth, of Ohio. and Representa-
tive cooper, of Wisconsin, who
had long served under the G. O.
P. banner, although Cooper was
independent in his voting and
leader of the progressive
block"
Democrats to Fight
There is little doubt that an,
other Republican will succeed
him, but the Democrats will
make a real fight in Cincinnati
to win the Longworth seat and
this year it is called debatable
ground.
With these vacancies the
House lineup now is: Repubii-

P. j. {. To RULE
ON BUS LINES

All phases of operation Of in
terstate bus lines will be the
subject of a public hearing to
be conducted on Monday by
the Public Utilities Commission
in its board room.
Inquiry into the extent of pub
lie space used as terminals by
these busses and the advisability
of having the lines acquire
terminals on private property
will be one of the features of
the hearing.
Previous orders against the
bus companies, promulgated by
the commission, have invariably
led to court action setting aside
the writ.
On the present occasion, how
ever, the commission is more op-
timistically inclined. The new
hearing is viewed by many as
preliminary to the passage of
new regulations. effective July
l. governing bus operations.
