NEW FACES REPLACE OLD AT WASHINGTON
Special Session of Senate Wil Not Last More Than Ten
Days
Washington, March 9.—(By United Press.) —The new Congress, which will legislate during the first half of the Harding administration, should uphold all Harding's policies in spite of opposition, if party predenominate were the only test, because both are 300 strong, while the Democrats have but 132 seats. One is held by a Socialist and two are vacant.
In the Senate there are 59 Republicans and only 37 Democrats. That body got into action today, though the Senate is far from being called. The session is called. The Senate was called into special session to confirm Harding's appointees to Cabinet and other positions, and it is expected that the Senate will be a wock or ten days at the longest.
But though the Republicans are much stronger numerically than the Democrats, they are not so compact. They must be able to opinion and jealousies among them. The first task, probably, of the G. O. P. leaders in both houses will be to make as far as possible their forces, to either affirming or disciplining the insurgents.
Many new faces appear in both houses, and long familiar ones trege. Champ Clark, probably the best loved man in the House is missing. Miss Alice Robertson of Muskogee, will take her seat as the second woman to sit in the House. In York, a former member noted for his Cletic wit and powerful oratory, will again make "the welkin ring."
In the Senate, Larry Sherman of Illinois, the man who looks like Lincoln; Charles Thomas of Colorado, the drolest wit in the Senate; George Chamberlin of Oregon, a much loved man among his colleagues; Thomas P. Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, and many other states who have witnessed rising after today. A number of Senatorial golf foursomes were broken up by the November election, and the hunt for new partners is on.
The Senator who took the oath of office March 4 are: Ralp H. Cameron, Arizona; Thaddeus H. Carrayway, Arkansas, Samuel M. Shortell, Calridge
formia; Samuel D. Nicholson, Colorado; Thomas E. Watson, Georgia; William B. McKinley, Illinois; Richard P. Ernat, Kucktach, Edwin S. Broussard, Louisiana; Ovington E. Weller, Maryland; Tasker L. Oddie, Nevada; F. E. Ladd, North Dakota; J. W. Harroll, Oakland/Okane; N. Stansfield, Oregon; Peter Norbeck, South Dakota.
SCIENTISTS TO SEARCH RUINS
University of Pennsylvania Sends Party to Old Palestine
Philadelphia, March 9—The history of primal man and the origin of the Canannites will be sought by a party of scientists and biblical students when they leave in June for ancient Palestine. The archeological expedition will center its excavation activities on the site of Beth Shan, Beth Sinai, and Jerusalem, promoted by the Bible. The work will be under the direction of the University of Pennsylvania museum and is expected to take three years.
Beth-Sham at present a mound of earth near Mount Gibbon, west of the river Jordan, in the valley of Jezreel, has had at least seven cities built upon it by successive bands of conquerors. Beth-Sham is first recorded in the book of Joshua, in relating the story of Jerusalem to take the town from the Canaanites because the latter used "iron charciots" in their warfare.
It was also on the walls of Beth-
Sham that the bodies of Saul and Jonahan were exposed after the fatal
fight on Munt Gilboa when the town
was finally seized by the northern Israeliites.
Beth-Sham was later taken by the Egyptians, who were followed by the Babylonians. Then the Scythians, followed the Greeks under Alexander the Great who changed the name to Scytheopolis. Pompey succeeded Alexander and Beth-Sham took on a Roman grandeur.
The Arab bandits finally stole the last vestige of Roman power and turned it over to the Turk, who were driven out in the late war by the British Expedition under General Allenby.
Napoleon the Great in his Syrian campaign fought one of his greatest battles on the town's site.
