I nuc LXAOT MADIfC LUKL ILHJ1 II : END OF Senators and Representatives Mingle Good Byes With Work on Measures. POSTAL BILL IS SETTLED Following Adoption of. Conference Report by Senate, Act Is Pre pared for Submission to President at Once. WASHINGTON'. March J. Over, shadowed by the enthusiasm attending the arrival of a Democratic President elect and the holding of a suffrage carnival, the 62d Congress began today to say Its farewells and to prepare for - the termination of Its business at noon tomorrow. By a fiction of long standing, the "legislative day" of Jtfarch 8 will run . through tonight and terminate shortly before nopn tomorrow with the Im pressive ceremonies attending the in auguration of Vice-President Marshall. Retiring members who have been in Congress for a score or more years bade goodbye to their colleagues to night and cleaned out their desks for the exodus from the capital. Scores of Senators and Representatives who- are to come into office tomorrow, mingled throughout the day with their future associates of the two houses and took mental stock of their environment and friends in the new Democratic Con gress. Veterans Are Bidden Farewell. Ex-peaker Cannon and Senator Shelby M. Cullom, veterans of many Congresses; Representatives Nicholas 1-ongworth. John Dalzell, John Lamb, Samuel W. McCall; Senators Crane, Dix on, . Bourne and others who have been prominently identified with legislation in recent years, were the recipients of farewell greetings from their associ ates. The House spent a few moments In eulogising Representative Lamb, of Virginia, who has been chairman of the agricultural committee for the last ., two years, the friendly demonstration being led by Republican Leader Mann. Both houses recessed at S o'clock to night, the Senate for two hours and the House for three. They were prepared to sit well through the night if neces sary to dispose of conference reports on appropriation bills, but it was be lieved late in the evening that both houses would be able to recess for a few hours during the early morning. Fights Are Threatened. Six appropriation bills remained in dispute when the evening sessions be gan and serious flghts were threatened over the two-battleship programme in the naval bill and over the Indian, public building, executive and sundry civil bills. Uistingulshed visitors appeared to day on the floors of both houses. Gov ernors Sulser of New York, Cox of Ohio and McCreary of Kentucky among them. Senator-elect Vardaman, of Mississippi, was a picturesque figure in tho Senate in the afternoon session. Senators-elect Norrls of Nebraska, Jamea of Kentucky, Ramsdell of Louis iana and Weeks of Massachusetts, all present members of the House, held little receptions to their colleagues to night and packed their books and pa .pers preparatory to moving to the other end of the Capitol. Love Keast Held. Ill a general political love feast to night the Republicans of the House presented a watch to Representative .lames R. Mann, of lLllnois, the minority leader, and the Democrats presented a silver fruit dish to Charles R. Crisp, parliamentary clerk, who enters the next House as 'a member from Geor gia. A recess of 15 minutes was taken by the House to allow time for the presentation. The Senate adopted the conference , report on the postoffice bill by a vote of 47 to 12, without making any change in the railroad mail pay or the "blue tag" provision. As the measure had boon approved by the House, it was prepared at once for submission to the President. The Senate then took up the public buildings bill in another effort to pass that measure as It came from the con ference committee. The galleries of the Senate and House were tilled with spectators at midnight. The House passed tonight the Wilson Seamen's bill as amended by the Senate. The bill now goes to the President for his signature The measure provides strict regulations for the hours of labor of sailors, and food and compensation on vessels, and Includes a provision that officers must be able to make members ot a crew understand orders. The bill is the result of agitation that followed the Tltanio disaster. Agreement Not Reached. Another effort to secure an agree ment by the House to the Senate amendment to the naval appropriation bill providing for two battleships, and thus break the deadlock In conference on the measure, failed shortly after . midnight. The House conferees re- - ported a disagreement and Representa tive Foss, of Illinois, moved that the House agree to the two-battleship proposition. Majority Leader Under wood led the debate against the two battleship amendment. On a roll call the House voted to In sist on its one-battleship provision IS to 144. The House requested a further conference. All attempts to enact the workmen's compensation bill were abandoned in the State. Senator Sutherland, in rliarge of the bill,- assured Senator Hoke Smith, opposed to the measure, that he considered it futile to press the bill and would not do so.

Passing through two walls of antagonistic hu manity the marchers for the most part kept their tempers. They closed their ears to Jibes and Jeers. Few faltered. although several of the older women were forced to drop out from time to time. "General" Jones Get Ovation. The greatest ovation, probably, was given to "General" Rosalie Jones, who ed her little band ot "hikers Horn New York over rough roads and through snow and rain to march for the cause. "General Jones was radiant. She carried a great bunch of American beauty roses, which made a splash of red against, the dull brown of her hooded tramping gown. When the women assembled in Con tinental Hall, the first resolution adopted, to be presented to President Wilson after hia inauguration tomor row, called on him to demand of Con gress a thorough investigation of the causes, for the "poor police protection." which would have been a disgrace to any city, but which was doubly so here." with a further demand that the responsible authorities be punished for their indifference and negligence. The opening address by Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National Ameri can Women's Suffrage Association, was a bitter excoriation of the police. ' Need of Ballot Cited. . ."Never was I so- ashamed of our National capital before." she said. "If anything could prove the need of the ballot, nothing could prove it more than the treatment we received today The women in the parade showed wonderful dignity and self respect by keeping cool in the midst of Insults and lewd remarks. Hoodlums were given pos session of the streets here today with out eny adequate attempt being made to protect us." Oswald Garrison Villard, of New York, grandson of William Lloyd Gar dlson. at the conclusion of Dr. Shaw's address, read the resolution which she had suggested In ber speech; calling for congressional Investigation and it was adopted amid cheers. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. president of the International Suffrage Associa tion, declared that members of Con gress should demand an Investigation. Many of the men along the line, she declared, "were drunk enough for the 'lockup." In no other Nation but Swit zerland, she said, nave the women been forced to take their appeal for the vote "to the rabble." WOMEN WIN PARTIAL TICTORT Indiana. Suffragists - Storm Senate Chamber With Telling Results. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. March . Woman suffrage In Indiana worn a vic IB BLOCKS PUD tory today when, after more than 600 women marched to the statehouse, swarmed onto the floors of the Senate and argued their cause with cornered legislators. Senator Grube introduced a joint resolution to amend the state constitution to grant women full suf frage. From the Senate the women went to the House and there stopped the proceedings while they made their pleas. Here, however, they were less suocessful than in the upper house, for but little attention was paid them. The women, who asked that the state constitution be amended so as to strike out the word "male" in the clause pre scribing qualifications of voters, first found Governor Ralston upon entering the statehouse. A few minutes later the state's executive was adorned with a large badge upon which was printed "Votes for women." After enlisting the Governor in their cause, the women, who scorned the elevators, rushed up the stairs to the Senate chamber. They crowded onto the floor, buttonholed the Senators and presented their argu ments to the men who were unable to leave. It took Senator Grube only a few minutes to be convinced of tho justice of the cause and his resolution was in troduced. The women then departed.

Af tier several suf fragettes had been ejected tonight from a meeting at Battersea at which John Burns, president of the Local Govern ment Board, was speaking, he requested all women to leave the ball. Mr. Burns announced several days ago that in bis present campaign in behalf of the Pro gressive candidates for the London County Council, he was going to do his best to break down the- "tyranny of organized blackguardism." He explained tonight that In the present state of hostile feelings against militant disturbers of meetings they were apt at the present time to ,get badly hurt and he did not propose to allow extremists to play their game at the possible cost of life and limbs; therefore, to prevent anything serious happening, it was best for all the wom en to retire. After they had done so Mr. Burns finished his speech without interrup tion, except on the part of one male suffragist, who was removed.

"On getting up one morning I found what seemed to be a mosquito bits on the calf of my right leg. Soon the eruption grew larger and continued day after day, becoming more and more troublesome. The physician ad vised poulticing, and I soon found I had a running sore. It ate steadily Into the flesh, discharged freely, and grew worse. Another physician told me to uss a rubber bandage, but the sore grew worse until There Was Xmt m. Saw af Healthy Skla as Large as a 10-Ceat Piece Betweea My Knee aad AakJe.
