BENDER GIRL IMPROVING
"WASHINGTON, June 5. The slxty
ixth congress ended its second ses
sion today, adjourning sine die at 4
P. M. Unless a grave emergency
arises which makes necessary a spe
cial session, it will not meet again
until December 6.
The close of the session was marked
by none of the hectic rush that gen
erally attends a getaway of congress.
but there was the usual applauding
and cheering in - tho house after
Sneaker GiUetfs gavel had released
the members for the first long vaca
tion since the United States entered
the war.
The house cleaned up its work
early and twice recessed to await
possible senate action on pending
measures. The senate remained in
continuous session. As to the result
of a filibnster the bill to establish a
national budget syttm failed of pas
sage.
Mondell Praises Cosre.
Final sessions of both houses passed
without the plethora of political
speeches which had been expected
Just at the finish in the house. Rep
resentative Mondell of Wyoming, the
renublican leader, delivered an ad
dress praising congress for the work
accomplished. Representative oar
rett democrat, Tennessee, replied
that this congress had been a "humit
latlng failure."
President Wilson's criticism of con.
Kress in his telegram to the heads of
the brotherhoods passed without com
merit in either house
Practically the only action by the
house during the day was to pass the
budget bill after amending it to meet
the president's objection that it took
from the executive authority to re
move the comptroller-general and as
sistant comptroller-general.
Tlepublican leaders abandoned their
plan to call for a vote on the resolu
tion refusing President Wilson's re
quest for authority to accept a man
date over Armenia.
The exodus of senators and repre
cntatives began almost immediately
Many republicans are heading for the
Chicago convention. Most of the dem
ocrats will return home to await the
time for going to San Francisco for
their party convention there.
House in Restless Mood.
The house was in a restless-mood
throughout the day and efforts of
many members to have taken' up spe
cial bills in which they were inter
ested failed. In the last half hour the
house settled down to give close at
tention to the addresses of Repre
sentative Mondell and Representative
Garrett.
Mr. Mondell declared that this con
cress in its two sessions had made a j
saving of $2,374,460,817.
Eight appropriation bills that passed
the house in the sixty-fifth congress
but failed in the senate filibuster were
reduced $940,510,598, Mr. Mondell said,
and the estimates submitted by the
government department for the next
fiscal year were reduced by $1,433,
850, 21S.
Several laws were cited by Mr.
Mondell as "constituting a record un
equaled in American history." He in
cluded the transportation act, the
woman suffrage amendment, the mer
chant marine bill, the mineral land
leasing bill, the water power act, the
civil service retirement measure, the
Volstead prohibition enforcement law.
the extension of the war-time food
control act to punish profiteering,
the repeal of practically all war laws
and other measures.
Republicans Are Criticfated.
Referring to the republican ap
plause which followed Mr. Mondell's
speech, Mr. Garrett said the repub
lican leader had spoken to "the only
audience in the United States where
his speech could receive applause."
Turning to the republican side, Mr.
Garrett continued: "You seldom
paused in tho midst of doing nothing
cept to do something worse. '
Declaring that this congress had
en an absolute humiliating and
painful feature," Mr. Garrett said no
new tax laws except "some bunk pop
gun measures" had been passed and
that the reduction of estimates which
the republicans called savings had
been made by every congress in the
last 2o years.
The session of congress which end
ed today began December 1.
Important legislation enacted in
eluded:
The army reorganization bill pro
viding for a peace time army of
S3 , 000 officers and men, a national
guard and a reserve force.
The transportation act designed to
assist the railroads over the period
immediately following their return
to private control, last March 1.
The oil leasing bill by which thou
sands of acres of oil and ininera
lands in the west and south were
thrown open to development.
The merchant marine bill provid
ing for the ultimate sale of the vas
government-owned merchant fleet.
The Sterling anti-sedition act and
the Johnson bill providing for the
deportation and exclusion of danger
ous aliens.
The Kdge bill authorizing the for
ination of corporations to finance
American export trade.
The civil service retirement bill.
The postal pay Increase bill.
Soldier Bono Hill Killed.
Important measures which failed of
passage included:
The soldier bonus bill, which was
passed by the house last Saturday
night but which was not taken up
by the senate.
The budget bill, which President
Wilson vetoed and which the senate
failed to paas after the house bad
amended it to meet the president'
objection.
The bill to regulate and to control
the meat packing industry, the cold
storage bill, the bill to abolish the
housing corporation.
The annual rivers and harbors sup
ply measure, which was left in con
ference- Congress finally passed the
water power bill, which has .been
pending for 13 years, but it was
killed automatically with the ad
journment of congress through fail
ure of the president to sign it.
Congress also sent to the preslden
and he approved 16 supply measures,
carrying a total of $2,688,385,143. Per
manent appropriation bills of a tota
of $1,492,000,000 also were passed an

been, the demand for reserved seats,
both from persons in the state and
without its borders, that Marshal Hol

sion to the trial to persons having

For the present; Marshal Holohan
states it will be a case of "first come,

for members of the press.
Fake Fights Charerd.
Charges that Dempsey betrayed the
public by faking fights, notably his
battle with Jimmy Flynn in Febru
ary, 1917, are made by his divorced
wife, Maxine Dempsey, who is to be
the principal witness for the gov
ernment against her former husband.
"Jack Dempsey doesn't play square,"
said Mrs. Dempsey today. "I loved
him in spite of all his faults, but he
has beaten that love out of me.
"On December 27 Jack Kearns came
to Salt Lake, where we had gone, to
take Jack back east. Then I went to

At the Dempsey home began the fight

I was dependent upon Dempsey, the

Then, she says. Frank Spellman, Bert
Gardiner and Tommy Fitzgerald took
a part in affairs and tried to persuade
her to go to Los Angeles. She refused
and went to Ogden with friends.
Finally, when, according to he
story, Spellman had threatened to ar
rest her girl friends, she went to Los
Angeles upon assurance that she
would not see Dempsey. However, she
says, she was taken to Dempsey s
home in Hollywood, where Dempsey
shed tears as he begged her to re
turn to him. She refused, but after
the Spellmans had given her money,
she signed affidavits denying that she
possessed any letters. Mrs. Spellman,
she says, posed as an agent of the
department of Justice, telling her that
this was necessary to keep the real
authorities away.
Troth Declared Told. '
When she first met Colonel C. W.
Thomas Jr., Mrs. Dempsey says, she
followed Spellman's instructions and
denied that she had the letters.
"Colonel Thomas listened to me
courteously and treated me like a
human being," she said, "but I saw a
look In his eyes and I knew that he
knew I was lying. I returned to San
Francisco with the Spellmans, and
there I spent a eleepless night. In
stead of pulling myself up I was go
Ins1 lower. I had been Jack Demp-
sey's slave, now I became a liar for
him. I decided to ask Colonel Thomas
if I dared tell the truth. He assured
me that I did and then I told. Every
word I have told the authorities
from that day has been the truth.
That I swear."
Later Maxine went with the Spell
mans and Gardiner to Tijuana, a trip
which ended in Gardiner's arrest and
Mrs. Dempsey's voluntary return to
San Francisco.

glad that pianos can be made so well."
Indeed, when you are seated at a Pack

men in the Packard plant have not la
bored in vain.
They are master piano-makers, these
men, experienced and skilled. Their
mission is to make the finest pianos
possible, for to them pianos are the
highest expression of art.
