'The Senate has the immigration bill, the corrupt practices bill further to limit campaign contributions and expendi tures; the Webb bill, to grant author ity to domestic corporations for main tenance of collective foreign selling agencies; conservation and other meas ures. An investigation into expenditures of the recent National campaign is pro posed and Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, will introduce a joint resolution ask ing that inquiry be instituted at once. Hasty conferences of House leaders today indicated that a "speed-up" pro gramme advocated by Speaker Clark will be adopted with only slight changes. Majority Leader Kitchin Joined with the Speaker in declaring that the usual long Christmas holiday should be dispensed with and an earlier meeting than noon, probably 10 o'clock, set. Abolition of Holidays Opposed. No active opposition to the early meeting hour has appeared, but there is some dissension over the proposed abolition of the Christmas holidays. A compromise holiday of one week, be ginning the Saturday before Christmas, has been suggested. Although food embargo proposals are certain to create much discussion, few leaders are inclined to believe that any of them will be enacted into laws. Representative Kitchin thinks, too, that investigation of the high cost of living will be left to the Executive Department. It is regarded as doubtful that any of the President's railway legislation programme will reach the floor before Christmas. Representative Adamson chairman of the interstate commerce committee, who wiJl pilot the measures, said tonight that ne would spend the Christmas holidays at home regard less of any adjournment agreement. Suffrage Measure Pressed. Jrtepresentative Raker will urge an early report on his universal suffrage measure, now held in the Judiciary committee. The suffragists did not ap pear at the Capitol today to make i demonstration as had been expected. Inauguration of three new Senator who appeared with their credentials was postponed until- tomorrow. The new Senators. Watson of Indiana, Fernald of Maine and Kirby of Arkan sas, have seats in the chamber. Democrats of the Senate plan con ferences tomorrow to consider ttifi mat ter of a new president pro tempore, but no party caucus is expected until later in the week. Senators most prominently mentioned for the place are Walsh of Montana, Pomerene of Ohio and Saulsbury of Delaware. $1,268,715,834 ASKED FOIt 1918 DIET SQUAD ADOPTS ECONOMY MEASURE Oleomargarine and Hash, Dis guised as Veal Loaf, Ap pear on Table.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4. (Special.) The United States Government, being desirous of collecting- a disputed in heritance tax of approximately S4.000. 000 from the estate of the late Henry Miller, today became the legal ally of Gustavo A. Renibold, of Oregon, a legatee of the estate, who is suing the trustees to compel them to pay the tax. Federal Judge Van Fleet ruled that the Government might present Its case In this suit, grave It 30 days to file a brief, and counsel for the trustee of the state 15 days to file a reply. Rembold plays the role of bystander, with the Government and the trustees of the estate as the real contestants. He is a grrandnephew of Miller, Is to receive $5000 from the estate and Is , suing; to have the tax paid on the ground that litigation threatens to dissipate the estate. -As for the trus tees themselves, while they contend that the tax is ' not valid, they want the Issue settled as soon as possible. This Is a test case which will affect estates held in trust all over the United States. The disputed point Is whether the revenue act applies to properties that were made over to a trust before it was passed. Miller deeded the bulk of his millions away three years ago. If the law is retroactive, Edward F. Treadwell. attorney for the trus tees of the estate, contends, then It is confiscatory and otherwise unconstitutional.

Establish ment of a co-operative market, to be supplied with farm products by the King County Pomona Grange, and to be patronized by members of organized labor, was urged at a meeting here today of grange and labor representa tives as the most effective means of reducing the high cost of foodstuffs. While the grangers admitted the prices of farm products were unreason ably high to the consumer, tbey com plained that they were not sharing in the advance, but that it was going en tirely to middlemen. Speakers opposed the idea of an embargo on food ex ports to Europe, and did not favor tba boycott plan. A committee' of seven was appointed to submit to the county grange and to the Seattle Central Labor Council for ratification the suggestion for the co operative market. In the Philippines translucent oyster shells, it is said, form the windows of many habitants. ELL-ASMS Absolutely Removes Indigestion.
