THE Senate many times tingled
- with drama and the unusual dur

the rough-and-tumble House. where
the f1ve-minute rule on debate results
in battle royal.
The almost daily rumbles of Sena-

parture Of five Progressive Senators
when q newcomer was sworn in;
Chairman Pro Tenn Key Pittman's
demand to clear the galleries Of spec

afternoon-these events gave thrills to
the Senate fans, many Of whom sit
daily in the gallery hoping for some

friends felt Chavez, who protested
his election in the Fall, had been
perhaps unfair. So when Chavez
stepped up to the rostrum, out walked
Cuttings intimates, Nye, La Toilette,
Norris, johnson and Shipstead. The
New Mexican was thunderstruck.

from his marveling listeners, but the
bill passed, after three months of
scrapping.
WHEN the session opened, the Sen

not be seated because he was under

and the Seventy-third Congress took

He was Richard Charles Hunter,

Hunter was succeeded by his Harvard
classmate, Edward Raymond Burke.
On the other side Of the Capitol
the Democrats, two days before the
session opened, chose as their floor
leader william Bankhead, once star
quarterback and later Shakespeare
an actor. The day after he received
the honor Bankhead went to the hos

acted as leader. The Job was taken
over by scholarly Edward Taylor Of

spectacles.

BEFORE the first day was over 1884
- bills had been dropped into the
hopper. among them a nightmare for
the New Deal from the Pacific Coast.
This measure set out to put the stamp
of law on the revolving old-age pen
sion plan of DR.. F. e. Townsend, who,
from his Far West retreat, planned
to put 5000 a month into the pockets
of every man and woman over so.
DIR. Townsend's standard bearer in
the halls of Congress was John Steven
McGroarty, thin, white-haired poet
laureate of California, who smiled on
Washington in January. but cursed
the Capital by April, when he wrote
persistent constituent:
"One Of the countless drawbacks Of
being in Congress is that am COM
PEELED to receive impertinent letters
from a jackass like you, in which you
say I promised to have the Sierra
Mountains reforested and have been

done it.
"Will you please take two running
jumps and 60 to hell
BY that time McGroarty'S hopes OF
seeing DR.. Townsend's dream become

dissipated. In January he seemed on

Pittman called for Chesley Jurney,
sergeant at arms. He was nowhere
to be found. The hub-bub continued.
just then a guide snapped Pittman's
raw nerves by entering the gallery
and talking in a loud voice to the
tourists behind him. Pittman pounded
for attention and ordered all visitors
to leave the galleries. 1t was unusual
but not unprecedented. Its last pre-
vious occurrence had been in 1882
when an onlooker laughed during a
speech by Big Tom Helm, now
stumping the South for the Federal
Housing Administration.

represented her age as 18 years
and was issued license.
Shortly after Jones and his
bride returned, authorities say her
father, who is 70 years of age,
learned of the marriage, went to
the Jones farm and questioned
him. Officers say this so angered
Jones that he hit his father-in-law
on the head with a rock.
Mr., Williar was well enough to
testify before Justice Stoner, who
found Jones guilty of assault and
battery, but withheld sentence
until he could communicate with
Carroll county authorities.
