Washingtn

A boisterouS session Of Con-
gress, with plenty Of party and
personal politics appeared in
prospect as Senators and Repre-
sentatives fitted themselves into
their chairs, said their howdy-dos
and eyed the galleries over.
In contrast to the disciplined if
not docile seriousness of some of
the worst Of the crisis years, mem
bers of Congress this year are
out to get themselves reelected
on their own merits, or demerits,
each after his own fashion.
Roosevelt's coat-tails no longer
seem to provide such roomy &C
comodations for riding back to Of
flee, so many Democrats are look
ing for other conveyances. Re-
publicans, on the other hand, are
raising their diminished heads and
heaping abuse on the New Deal.
Pet-like they call attention to the
kettles blackness hoping their
own political complexion will thus
be overlooked.
As. Congress opened, the House
as usual is the better place for pol
itical atmosphere. The Senate
is a bit stuffed-shirt and pompous.
But the House is too rowdy for
subtlety or indirection. The open
ing gavel had hardly fallen be-
fore the Congressman fell to,
with right good humor.
Rep. Smell, Republican floor
leader set the tone, with. a red
faced and apoplectic attack on
Pres. Roosevelt for breaking all
presidents" by proposing to deliv-
or his message at 8 p. m.
evil not this message stand
the light of the usual midday
sun? ?" he wanted to know.
Democrats groaned good-hum-
oredly as Smell spoke of their
Overwhelming and spineless ma
jority," clapped ironically at
times, and didn't seem to mind
his referring to the change of
time as a Cheap political move"
The cheaper the better, they may
have thought, rejecting that
SHELLS own move wasn't costing
much in campaign funds either.
Rep. Hamilton Fish, who is fur
nishing the comic relief to Borah's
presidential campaign made his
bid for front page space by an
nouncing in advance that he
would boycott" the president
speech. That got a laugh too.
The Congressman then went tc
work with a will, shaking theil
heads and fists at each other, de-
handing the floor, Directing, pro-
testing, asking unanimous con
sent to put into the record all
sorts or extraneous matter about
silver wedding, Woodrow Wilson
and their letters to Whoozis anC
Whoozat about this, that and the
other.
With due respect to the sterl-
ing qualities Of some Of our
lawmakers, it must be said
that when the Democrat vs.. Re-
publican repartee gets going,
the effect is like that of a
Punch and Judy show.
There's lots of good clean
slapstick, and even when voices
are raised at their shouting an
griest and some Republican
Punch brings his stick down
mercilessly on a Democratic
Judy, you still have a comfort
able feeling that it's all in fun.
The Congressman may gnash
their teeth, falsettO screams may
rend the air, foul murder may
be done in party strife. But
when it's all over, the boys will
roll out safe and sound to the
lobby Just as surely as Punch
and Judy puppets will come to
life again to make their final
baW.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President Roosevelt's message to Con-
greSS on. January adroitly concentrated
the fire on the reactionary elements which
have been attacking him and at the same
time held out the olive branch to conser-
yatlve business elements by announcing
IN effect, that so far as he was concerned
recovery was fact and further legisla-
ton to mend the havoc of the depression
was unnecessary.
The adrOitness of this performance,
which is characteristic, lies in the fact
that conservatives can quite properly be
assured that their prejudices will be de-
1erred to, while the liberals can, if they
will, thrill to the Presidents resounding
Philippe against the reactionaries who
have been talking about "ganging I'D"
. Actually, as the Presidents MESSAGE
amply proved, there is no longer any need.
If indeed there ever was, for the reaction
airy forces to gang up He has offered
them substantially everything they want.
Specifically:
I. The end of relief expenditures and
public works. President Roosevelt has
assured the country the need for such
expenditures was passing.
z. A balanced budget achieved by
cutting expenditures. This was prOmis-
ed, without any reference to the needs
Of the people.
i. 3. An end to the threat of increased
income taxes. No increase in taxes.
promises the president.
A. An end to the threat of reform leo
1SlatiOn. The President has treated his
reform program as complete
D. New huge military and naval an
preparations. There will be no economy
IN preparing for the war.

NEW LIE DETECTOR
SHOWN SCIENTISTS
New Device Reveals Guilt
With Error of Only
2 Per Cent.
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HANOVER, N. H, September A.
A new lie detector much more &C
curate than previous devices used IN
crime detection was described today
before the American Psychological
Association.
DR.. w. G. Summers, head of the
Fordham University Department OF
Psychology, told how tests with the
ycho-galvanometer' on so groups
of college students had detected the
guilty with only per cent of error.
Measures Electrical Changes.
Older lie-detecting machines known
as Photographs" record on paper the
blood pressure and heart beat of the
person examined. DR.. Summers IN
strument instead measures extremely
small electrical current changes in the
body.
The Fordham scientist devised an
ingenious method of duplicating
rime-investigation technique. Each
of the so groups was divided into two
parts, in one of which the individ-
uals drew lots to select the criminal
and his accomplice. The remainder
of the group was unaware OF the
identity Of the others.
After the experimenter left the
room the selected criminal was al
lowed to take from a box valuable
article such as a $40 bill or an ex-
pensive watch, with the understanding
that if he fooled the investigator in
answering the questions he could keep
the loot.
40 of so Guilty Are Detected.
The guilty group were instructed to
deny any knowledge of the criminal
or the article but to answer all other
questions truthfully.
The results, DR.. Summers said, were
that 40 of the so guilty persons were
detected, 40 being identified imme-
diately and the others being found in
a second test after the first had shown
evidence of either completely or guilt.
Among the accomplices all but two
we're identified. The machine alb
solved all Of the innocent persons.

PRICE.C HELD
SOFT COAL DANGER
Industry Has Lost Much Ground,
Commissioner Says, Although
Production Increases.

By tire Associated Press.
In the face of increasing produc-
ton, Chairman Charles F. Hosford
jr., of the Bituminous Coal Commits
sion said yesterday the soft coal in
dustry had lost more ground through
price-cutting in the last IS months
than in the preceding 10 years.
Hosford attributed the loss directly
to several factors, one of which, he
said, was the rapidly increasing
trend of mechanization of mines.
Other coal men in the Capital.
however, expressed belief the indus
trys price structure was not in as
bad plight as painted by some op-
orators, but conceded competition
was fierce"
Contrasting with Hosford's state
ment were recent production figures
showing output for the first eight
months of this year approximately
10. per cent above that of the same
period in 1885.
An unusual demand for industrial
coal was given as the reason. In
formed sources said indications were
the trend would be continued.
