Wsshlngton. Dec. 9. ? Congress
has got started without any caa
ualtiea. The thunder and light
ning Vice-President Dawes turned
loose on the Senate the fourth of
Ust March haa become a gentle
purr. The Vlce-Prealdent appar
ently haa determined to get along
with aa few worda aa possible. He
aiao haa Indicated that he will not
forego his usual afternoon nap
during the aeaalon, even If there
are tie votea to be broken.
While there waa some disap
pointment In the crowded Senate
galleries that the Vice-President
failed to burat forth, or heare his
gavel at aome recalcitrant oppo
nent of a change In the rules, the
real Intereat of the new aeaalon
haa been in the aacendancy to pow
er of Nick Longworth, the new
and Chesterfield lan speaker of the
House of Representatives.
"Nick's elevation has been the
distinct social aa well as political
event of the winter In Washing
ton. No man ever has taken up
the gavel In the Houae under hap
pier auaplces.
When Nick said he was a "proud
and happy" ? everybody expected
him to say "father," but he said
"dan." Nick thanked his Repub
lican brothers for their yotes and
thanked hla Democratic brothers
beeause they didn't vote for htm.
He didn't says a word about the
wilful thirteen "Insurgents" Re
publicans from Wlaconsln who re
/ fused to be "ewallowed up" and
eurrender their Individual rights
as members. Hie Wisconsin mem
bers voted for that "grand old
man" of the Houae. Henry Allen
Cooper, who led tho forlorn Lafol
lette hope st ths Cleveland con
vention of 1984.
Nick Longworth's sartorial
aplendor haa been challenged by
Young "Rob" LaFollette, another
mutiny In the Republican ranks
which muat be quelled at any coat.
The tallora of Washington are
hoping the battle will be a long
and arduoua one. Young Bob won
the apat honors of the day. how
ever. His were of a pearl gray
which was oxceedlng "doggy." The
boy-Senator from Wisconsin, also
wore a conventional morning coat,
cut In the lateet style. His troua
era were a master piece of the
drapera' art. Nick didn't wear
spats. His aparkllng patent leath
er boots, however, had gray cloth
tops ? evidently a custom made
Job. The new apeaker had ad
vance Information that Young Bob
might appear In the Senate in
epats. His father always wore
them, and Young Bob la4rylng to
follow In the footsteps of his 11
lustrous peer. Nick's morning
coat also waa a confection. In
fact the new speaker la by far the
hsndaomeat and best groomed
Washington ever has aeen.

to grooming and good looka. but
Mr. Longworth haa won the palm, j
Senator OUlett, by the way.
couldn't resist the cell of the
Houae and allpped over to the
lower chamber the moment the
Senate adjourned. He waa there
la plenty of time to hear Nlck'a
Inaugural address.
The new speaker wu n bit ner

way. He had It carefully typed
and stuck away In his inside
pocket. When he was being "In
troduced" to the House, snd also
being lauded above sll partisan
prals* by rinls Oarrett, the Dem
ocratic leader. Nick kept fumbling

TRYING TO FIND

Davison, America's only endowed
I public servant, certainly let hlm
I self In (or a man's sized job when
j ho accepted chairmanship of the
J National Crime Commission,
: whose, objects are to determine
I the cause of, and propose reme
dies for. the great American crime
wave. New York, which has be
come a veritable crime clinic in
recent weqks, has just presented
yountf Mr. Davison with, a half
dozen more, pew explanations for
the conditions tliif a Ifm alnrmlng
the country. All the explanations
are different and most of them
entirely irreconcilable with the
others.

Inveighed fiercely against the
"coddling" of criminals, before
.and after their conviction. Inti
mating that prisoners were so
well treated that Imprisonment
I had no terrors for them.
j A few hours later, general ses
sions Judge Talley, In a public
| address, declared that youths of
15 to 19 predominated among the
'desperate criminal of today and;
'laid the blame on prohibition and1
'the resultant hip flask.
At another meeting Bernard J,
, Pagan, chief probation ofTicer of
I the Children's Court of New York,
attacked a new law which permlt
J ted the Jailing overnight of boys
'charged by their parents with loaf
ing or staying out late. Assocln
! tlons In jails with hardened crim
inals. he declared, was responsible
j for much juvenile criminality.
At the same meeting. Chief
! Magistrate McAdoo f New York
; laid the crime wave to lax ball
bond laws which permitted bond
jlng companies to free felons who
I promptly went out snd committed
! new crimes to pay the bill.
Still another speaker declared
the chief trouble waa the refusal
of representative citizens to ac
cept Jury service.
I And Calted States Attorney
Hurkner, In an address before bus
iness men. ventured the opinion
that the "white collar business
crook" was a greater menace to
.society as a whole than the hard
! boiled gangster or the Juvenile
gunman.
If young Mr. Davison can corre- .
late snd reconcile all these views,1
he will have Justified the decision !
of his tate father, H. P. Davison, j
of J. P. Morgan ? Company, who i
bequeathed him $4,600,000 so
that he could pursue a life of pub-;

The plan to unite Pasquotank i

, calls forth a warm protest from
I C. L. Tarklngton, representative

says:
"In reply to Senator Williams' |
