Ian Many Leave, Unaware of Joke by Wife of Pennsylvania Members; Closing; Session Is Noisy Pa triotic Demonstration. TTASHTNGTON, March 4. A hoax played on members of the House and the crowded galleries in the dying hours of Congress today overshadowed the singing, cheering and speech-making that mark the end of every session. It all centered about interest in Miss Jeanette Rankin, of Montana, the first woman ever elected to the United States Congress, who will take her seat in the next House. She was expected to be here today, but did not arrive, and Mrs. George W. Edmonds, the wife of Representative Edmonds, of Penn sylvania, received the thunderous ova tion that awaited Mies Rankin. 6o well did Mrs. Edmonds play her role that hundreds of persons who shook hands with her In an Impromptu reception which she held following an nouncement from the floor of the pres ence of Miss Rankin, went away un aware of her real identity. Hoax Is Arranged. Representative Britten, of Illinois, by pre-arrangement with Mrs. Ed monds, perpetrated the hoax. Half an hour after Speaker Clark had adjourned the session and the voices of members and visitors had be gun to show signs of throatiness owing to the fervor with which they had sung the high notee of "Dixie" and the low notes of "The Old Oaken Bucket," Mr. Britten passed word to Representative Galllvan, who sprang to the top of a table In front of the speakers stand, announced that the first Congress woman was present and named Repre sentative Britten to escort her to the front. 'Scene Kept TJp for Hour. The scene which followed was flat tering to Miss Rankin. From every part of the chamber members and their wives and children the floor being open to families by this time rushed over to greet the "Congresswoman." Without the slightest sign of em barrassment, Mrs. Edmonds began shaking hands with smiles and thanks. Soon a long line formed in front of the Speaker's stand and the galleries turned their entire attention to the demonstration. Old attaches of the House said the jollification today outdid in fervor any they had ever witnessed in many years. It lasted more than an hour. Speaker Clark's gavel dropped promptly at noon, members of the floor and the press gallery who previously had been supplied with books of old fashioned songs burst into "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." "Women Unfurl Flags. Mrs. J. Charles Llnthicum, wife of Representative Llnthicum, of Maryland, arose in the gallery and unfurled a huge silken flag, one end of which was gathered up by Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the Speaker. A storm of applause followed. "" In the farewell speeches preceding the final adjournment, Democratic Leader Kitchin and others declared that the House had done its work this ses sion and blamed the Senate for any embarrassment which the Government may suffer through work not done. Amid wild applause Senator Clark called Representative Cannon, his Re publican predecessor, to the rostrum. and asked him to preside. Speaker Clark made a speech, saying this Congress was the best behaved one he had ever seen; that .the acute par- usansnip inai was eviaeni wnen n first came to Congress 24 years ago had been almost abolished in the House.

I "The Blue Envelope," which the Al cazar Players are presenting this week, 1 in it; in. wen do named the "House of a Thousand Doors," with a thousand exciting things going on behind each door. It has also a thousand situations and a thousand laughs. It has the merit of a continued con dition of hilarity, and culminates in a rip-roaring third act with tho audi ence in an hysteria of mirth. It will certainly come under the head of the Baker Theater season's hits. Albert McGovern has a role after the liking of his admirers, as John Doe, who makes his entrance in a bruised and dilapidated state atfer an encounter with a squad of policemen. He has tried to keep an appointment with an anonymous woman and has become messed up in a taxicab smashup. Rath Gates Plays Admirably. In making his escape from the po lice, he jumps Into a cab, which is also taken possession of by an attrac tive young woman, who, during the course of the play, proves to be a most indiscriminately married and engaged person. This role Is admirably played by Ruth Gates, who makes "Angel," as the girl Is known, a most fascinating ad venturess. Both the Angel and John Doe are driven to the beauty parlors conducted by a Dr. Maurice, played by Harold Holland. Here It develops that the Angel is Doe's anonymous inamo rata, and Is also the erstwhile wife of Doe's pal, Richard Roe. This role Is given humorous high lights by Charles Compton. Marguerite McNulty plays the role of no s iiancoe. When the Angel discovers that Toc already has a wife she makes capital Co-flJVt"3, sentK ,her by I uoe. These letters are in a blue en- veiope which becomes the bone of contention to the end of the play, when ii id uiouoverea m a l me Angel is the wife of Coogan, a retired champion fist fighter, now a professor In Dr. Plank's sanitarium. Ansel Is Found Out. Coogan Is played with robust com- edjfc-by Henry Norman. The .discovery that the Angel Is so much wedded cuts the Gordian knot generally, and particularly for Roe. A unique characterization goes to the credit of George Taylor as Dr. Plank. Eleanor Parker is interesting as Mrs. Doe, and Lora Rogers is the humorous German Alma, maid of all work in the sanitarium. George Webster contributes comedv as a lamb who is fleeced by .the Angel. Madeline Osborn as a strenuous nurse, Raymond Johnson as an attend ant and William Lee as a policeman complete the cast.

Theodore Roosevelt has declined an invitation of representatives of the Congress of Forums to debate the subject of pre paredness In -this city with William Jennings Bryan, it was announced to night. Mr. Bryan, it was explained, had accepted the invitation. Colonel Roosevelt's reply to the rep resentatives of the Congress of F.orums, said, in part: - "I cannot accept your proposal be cause I regard it as a waste of time to debate non-debatable subjects. To debate with Mr. Bryan his views against- National preparedness would, in my Judgment, be precisely on a par witn aeoating the undesirablllty of monogamous marriages, or the morality or aooiisning patriotism, or the advant age of the re-introduction of slavery, or the right of Judges to accept bribes from suitors, or the duty of submission to the divine right of kings, or the propriety of action such as that of Benedict Arnold." fS A M IT A D I M M LIMITS ENTRY T 1 -l'H O C1M I n 1 Only Worst Cases of Tuberculosis to Be Received Hereafter. 1 SALEM, Or.
