nr Mni m i.uvw WASHINGTON', Dec. S. Because it Is at all times one of the most impressive cfrpmonifs attendant upon our constitutional systi m, and because on this occasion it pointed toward important future developments, some thing rhould be said about the address of the president to the joint session of the house and senate. The scene itself was full of appeal to the imagination, with the two bod ies gathered together on the floor of Ihe house of representatives and the audience in the galleries. The galleries need not. be described They were merely a small-town American church on a larger scale.

For that matter, the body of the house might have been the congregation of a small-town church, except, of course, for the absence of women. In fact, the Sunday congregation of a small-town American church is markedly better dressed than congress. Congress in its appearance as a mass Is very workday and very average. The sack coat is practically universal, rather wrinkled and worn at that, and for the nirst part black. Children Present. Practically the only touches of color were at. the few places where members had negotiated some elasticity of the rules, that permitted th'm to bring their little children, who sat on their father's knees. The little red hair ribbons, and brightly colored dresses with the background they implied of parents carina enough to give their children memories of a historic occasion, were the brightest touches in the room. One extraordinary detail in tlv room was wholly unprecedented. This was the presence of a large number of foreigners on the floor. They wer rot only the delegates to the armament conference, but there -were also in one corner of the room some 40 newspaper men from Knglarrd. Can rda, Japan, China, France, Holland and Italy. All the newspaper men, as veil as the delegates, were wholly in the mle of observers and guests. But one wondered whether there

misht be just the faintest historical t significance in the face that the veiyj lay when the parliamentary body of : Great Britain lost in the separation, for Ireland a considerable group, who lor a hundrejl .years . have looked ti

London, it happened by this odd co incidence that a considerable portion

rvf the earpi's surface was looking to j Washington for leadership. j It. would be easy to exaggerate or j even wholly misread this coincidence , But a person with imagination could j hardly help noting it. ! First Applause j Of many reflections that arose from j observing how Harding's speech was received, the first was the vitality of' he league of nations. The first ap- ; plause came with the first phrase j that hinted of world associations when j he said: "There are growing assur-l mices of the permanenie of the peace! which we so deeply cherish " Again ; . a me applause when Harding spoke ; if our "uneseapa'ble relationship with, world affairs in (ioance and trade." j It was noticeable that this applause; -tarted riii the Democratic side Most ; if the Democrats have an abiding' r.iith that w hat Wilson started to do, J under the form of the League of Nations, is somehow bound to come S fliout in the course of time The Democrats believe this, and in a way they want to keep in brand of their party on the Wilson invention. Again there was applause when Harding, speaking of the nations of lb" world, used the phrase: "We can b"!p and we nr'an to help." on the .clier ham! Harding's emphatic assurances that he would do nothing 4 bout foreign relations which would had to conflict with the senate about institutional prerogative, and his pledce of "adherence to the accepted policy" of not entering the lri'ie of cations, brought equally emphatic ipplail'-o.

PAi.i.AiniM mows ntiti:t WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 Since May 10 a total of 2.638 nominations for appointment as postmasters of first, second and third class postoffices have been sent to the senate for confirmation by President Harding. When the senate adjourned last month it had not acted upon about 200 of these nom

inations, which will lie resubmitted I during the present session of congress.! On .March 4. when the present ad-j ministration came into office it was found that appointments of post mas-! ters were overdue in 3.416 offices.!

WORKS BOARD VOTES TO IMPROVE STREETS; COSTS OVER $22,000

Resolutions to improve three city streets, were confirmed following hearings held by the board of works in regular session, Thursday morning. The streets named in the resolutions were: South Seventh, from Main to A street. North and South Third, from North D to South A. and South

Fifth street, from South A to South K street. The city will pay sums amounting to a total of over $22,0u0 on the three improvements. The South Seventh street improvement will be aided by the city to the extent of $1,080. The Third street improvement draws $10,300 of the citv funds and Fifth street $10,900. County Auditor Brooks appeared on behalf of the county commissioners to protest against the paving of South Third street. According to Mr.

Brooks, the county has not included funds for paving this street in the j budget made up for next year and there would be no funds available. 'South Third street runs past the court house. To Place Guide

j The city engineer and ihe manager j of the light plant were instructed to! i see to the placing of a silent policeman ': ' at the comer of Eighth and North Ei streets. j

The board passed a resolution in-1 struct ing the manager of the light! plant to inform J. D. Lyons, consult-; ing engineer, to call here only at ihe request of the city. Viinecessary trips, made from Cincinnati, with consequent expense to the city, was the; reason given for the passing of the': resolution. !

; new regulations, which require, briefly stated, that all applicants for post- ; masterships submit to civil service tests, w hereupon the commission certifies to the post office department the ! nanus of the three highest eligibles

I for each office. The department then j extends to congressmen the courtesy t

of indicating which one of the three eligibles for offices w ithin their dis- !

incts shall be recommended to the president for appointment. Since May 10. the post office department reports, the civil service commission has reported of 2,999 examinations of applicants for postmasterships. There are now- in the department approximately 5t0 cases readyto be acted upon as soon as selection can be determined.

I iHv Associated Pris) ! WASHINGTON. Dec. 8 The .Tapanese government has accepted the pro- ; nosal lor a quadruple understanding ', in the Pacific, an authorized British ; spokesman said today. Calling attention to an Associated Press dispatch from Honolulu quoting a Japanese ; newspaper as 1o acceptance by the Tokio government of the quadruple plan, 'he Briti.-h ;pok".-n;an said that this ! was correct, and 1 hat the Washington

conference knew it to be correct. The British spokesman said the "i-5-!l ratio proposition in regard to capital ships was- in some ways related to a complete settlement and that this proposition had not yet been accepted by the Japane.-e govern men'. Difficulties in cable communications with Tokio were said today to have delayed receipt of the Japanese government's view on the acceptance of the American proposal for naval limitation. Portions of a dispatch front Tokio were understood to have been received, but some sections, explained officials, had not vet arrived. Follow Root Plan The powers represented in the Far East cominit'ee of the Washington conference today adopted resolutions agreeing not to enter into any treaty or understandings among themselves ihat would impair the four Root resolutions concerning China. The committee adjourned today until next Safurday to give the Japanese and Chinese delegates further unhampered

1 time for the separate Shantung nego

tiations. An atmosphere of distinct, optlm'sm nnd satisfaction over the progress of the arms conference negotiations appeared to be growing among the delegations today as the far eastern committee of the whole convened to proceed with its disposition of questions relating to China. The proposal for a new four power treaty as a substitute for the AngloJapanese alliance and providing for a period of peaceful discussion before resort to arms over any dispute involving the Pacific, islands was generally viewed as a definite shaping of developments along important lines of accomplishment. While President Hardin? in declaring in a house address yesterday thai the negotiations promise to "succeed beyond our fondest hopes" made no direct, reference to the proposed foupower agreement. his expression everywheie was accepted as evidence of the optimism with which the American delegates view the present trend of the negotiations. Discussions Advanced. Discussions among the delegates are known to have reached a w-ell advanced stace. Aff 'cting in its pnposed terms neither Chinese problems nor Pacific coast fortifications and the naval reduction program, the project is regarded by American delegates a.-

1,500. POLICE WATCH FOR DISTURBANCE BY STRIKE SYMPATHIZER!

CHICAGO, Dec. 8. After another outburst by strike sympathizers wh attacked an elevated train carrying packing house workers to the stock yards early today, packing house town settled down to its fourth day of the strike with no further disturbance but with l.ui'O police keeping watch. A temporary injunction prohibiting members of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters' and Butcher Workmen's union from "picketing or otherwise moJesting" workers in the stock yard ; was granted in superior court by Judge Dennis Sullivan today. The petition for ihe injunction was filed by Swift and company and 21 other packers. A few more defections were reported by the "big five" packers to day, but the plants still were operating. Reports from other packing centers said there was little disturbance and little change in the situation. The attack today was an aftermath of last night's rioting when nine were seriously injured and many arrested. Police said most of the rioters had been drinking, and Captain William Russell, in charge of the yards police detail, immediately closed all saloons. The elevated train attacked this morning was crowded with workers when the rioters threw stones and bricks through the windows. Saloons Closed.

All saloons in the neighborhood of the yards were closed today by order of Chief of Police Fitzmorris. The chief said that trouble would be stopped at any cost. When the strike went Into effect here Monday there was little troublra and the situation remained quiet until last night when workers began, to leave ihe yards. Strikers on picket duty and strike sympathizers blocked their way to the car lines and policemen tried to make lines through the crowd. Hundreds suddenly swelled the ranks of the strike sympathizers until they overwhelmed the ' few hundred policemen on duty, and riot calls were sent in. When reinforcements arrived the crowd was finally scattered and the heavy gurds were partially withdrawn.
