SENATE WILL HEAR MAN WHO NEVERSPEAKS Michigan Member to Make First Address in Five Years. By ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—This is a story about the Senator who never speaks and the reason why. After five years as a member of a legislative body which boasts that its debate is absolutely unlimited, Senator Woodbridge N. Ferris, (Dem.) is getting ready to deliver his first real speech on the Senate floor. His record for silence probably is unequaled in the history of the chamber, where there is one continuous round of speeches and which remembers the record-breaking 17hour filibuster address by the late Senator La Follette. Other Senators probably will gasp with astonishment in the next few days when the gray-haired, 75-year-old veteran from Big Rapids, Mich., arises and delivers a one hour speech in support of a federal department of education which he has just prepared. Only twice before in five years has he arisen, these times to read short articles in favor of prohibition and the World Court. Chatauqua Lecturer Tn view of the fact that Senator Ferris has been a Chatauqua lecturer of long experience and that he won his seat in 1923 with a fierce campaign against Newberryism,

784 Fags and 62 Cigars Yank’s 1927 Smoke Bill By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 3—The average person's allotment of “habits” during 1927 was 784 cigarets, sixty-two cigars, three pounds of chewing and smoking tobacco and one-third of a pound of snuff. The statistics were made public by the treasury today in showing the per capita consumption of articles the Government assesses under the Federal tobacco tax. Cigaret consumption has increased 200 per cent in America during the last ten years. If the 93,000,000,000 fags smoked last year were laid end to end they would girdle the earth 160 times, the treasury said. Americans used 7,387,351,816 cigars, 361,698,798 pounds of smoking and chewing tobacco and 38,151,993 pounds of snuff.

Washington has long been puzzled over his silence in tho Senate. He explained it today. “I learned my lesson soon after I came here five years ago,” Senator Ferris said. "I had been a public speaker all my life, but it didn’t take me long to see the futility of this loud speechmaking in the Senate; the needless debate for days over a question that has already been decided before the vote is taken, the constant iteration and reiteration of the same set of facts. Work in Committees “If the big corporations attempted to conduct their business in the way the Senate conducts the Government’s business they would be bankrupt in almost no time. “I soon found that the real work here is done in the committees—rit is there that legislation is sifted and analyzed and decisions made—and for that reason I have devoted most of my attention to the committees of which I am a member. They are Foreign Relations, Education, Postoffice and Library. “The Senate may boast about its freedom of debate, but that’s largely what’s the matter with it today,”

CLEVELAND, Feb. 3.—“A fireman may do many things besides putting out conflagrations, but he is no pinch-hitter for Mr. Stork.” So saying Capt. J. E. Reynolds filed complaint against Jack Holt of this city, charging that when his company answered an alarm they found the defendant inflamed but no fire. Holt told the judge that he had put in the alarm when attempts to get a doctor or midwife were unsuccessful. Investigation showed that Holt’s wife was not in urgent need of medical attention. “Twenty dollars and costs—next case.” More than 6,000 lives have been lost in shipwrecks on the Great Lakes during the last fifty years.

CITES CHARGES IN GJLP. RULE Albert Stump Addresses Democrats at Elkhart. <* Bil Times Special ELKHART, Ind., Feb. 3.—“ The story of Republican rule in Indiana cannot be told without mentioning the long list of indictments,” Albert Stump, Indianapolis, Democratic candidate for United States Senator declared in an address here Thursday night at a Democratic banquet. Stump said: “I have no pleasure in mentioning the long list of indictments, the convictions, the associations with sinister and corrupting influences, that have marked the official record of the State for the last few years. Then the speaker put this question: “But can a sense of compassion for individuals, embarrassed and confused by the castigation laid upon them through Justice outraged, properly restrain one in a political camapign from speaking with the candor which truth itself demands?”
