Representatives, Like Sena-

at Expense of Taxpayers.

House members may not be able to
get shaves and haircuts free as do
Senators, but they did spend $685.
900 on a pay roll last year-and that
figure doesn't include the more than
s4,O00,00O they got themselves.
These figures were included in the
annual report of South Trimble, clerk
of the House. 1t showed that-like the
Senate-the House in the last fiscal
year had some expenses that might
surprise the man who knows nothing
about Congress.
Members of the House, however,
though they number 435, can point to
the fact that the needs and personal
wants of the 96 Senators. as revealed
in the report of Edwin T. Thayer, Sen
ate secretary, called for much greater
expenditure, or S4116.455.
The two reports show members Of
Congress. spent a grand total of ap-
proximately S7,354,455. for most every

WANDERING FAMILY.

Parents and II Children Get
Free Ride After Sleep and
Hearty Breakfast.

The homeless Aikens family-John.
Stella and their IL children-didnt t
make much progress yesterday in their
hike through Washington en- route from
Florida to Youngstown, Ohio, but they
were all set to go this morning, with a
free ride to Frederick, Md, scheduled
to follow a good nights sleep and a
hearty breakfast.
Thanks to the generosity of eighth
precinct police and Mrs. NADIA l. Gay,
4511 Wisconsin avenue, the family spent
last night in comparative comfort-half
of them in the police station and the
other half in Mrs. Gays roming house.
At 7:30 o'clock this morning, they
were slated to leave for Frederick in a
truck provided by H. M. CornWcll. pro-
prietor of a tailor shop in the Shore
ham Hotel-but not until after every
last one of them. even the 2-month-old
baby, had been given as much food as
they could eat.

About three dozen sandwiches and
quantity of soup and coffee were given
the family last night by Mrs. Charlotte
B. Randall. 3701 Ingomar street. Mrs.
Randall, who supplied food to police
and firemen during the last hunger
march," also sent Aikens several pack
ages of cigarettes.
The Aikens family set out for Youngs-
town yesterday, after spending the pre-
viouS night, divided into three groups,
in the Women's Bureau. the Receiving
Home for Children and the Salvation
Army.
With Mrs. Aikens carrying the infant,
Joseph, in her arms, and one Of the
other youngsters tugging at toy ex-
press wagon containing ell their worldly
goods, the family trudg=d through the
city. shivering as they went.
The family decided to return to
Youngstown because it's their home
town and Aikens thinks he may land a
job there. He left four years ago, he
explained, because he couldn't find work,
but he hasn't been any more successful
anywhere else. With their family grow
ing all the while, the Aikens have wan
dered from coast to coast, finally wind
ing up in Southern Florida last Fall
Leaving Florida. they tramped up the
coast, "thumbing" truck rides WHEN they
could and walking when they couldn't.
They arrived here Friday.

get to youngstown" Aikens said, "and
I don't care. But we're on our way"
Have Dozen Children.
Neither Aikens nor his wife was able
to say off hand how many children
they had, but "a check-up showed an
even dozen: John, Is; Margaret, "a;
Frederick and Dorothy, both IT: Walter,
IA; Albert, II; Harry 9: Helen, Z;
Bertha, 6; Lottie, 4, and the baby.
Mrs. Aikens, the girls and the infart
spent the night in Mrs Gays Groom
home, while her husband and the boys
put up at the precinct.
"The irony of it," said Mrs. Cav.
''is that I've been trying unsuccessfuliy
to rent room for the past two years,
and almost as soon as I'd arranged to
take the Atkins in, somebody came
along and wanted to pay me weeks

corning a family named Fortune. "
There were persons who knew a
Lawrence Fortune, a constable here.
So Chandler went to him and in
great surprise learned that he was
a half brother to him and that his
mother still was alive.
Chandler and his mother were
brought together in a happy re-
union. They told each other their
stories. Then Chandler learned
how his mother had left their home
in Corydon, KY, in 1902, leaving
behind Chandler and brother.
Some time later she had mar
ried a man named Fortune, who had
drowned. Following the death of
her husband, Fortune, she remar-
