In general, however, the day's tes This is true; they are old. Some of the testimony today went back to 1923. But Mr. Marshall maintains that they have been investigated, some of them never known before, and he remains ready to hack up all his assertions with testiomny of other witnesses. The scandal of the Big Ten suspension is coming in for a thorough airing. Silent on Finances. "We are waiting to have all the facts brought out." said Mr. Jessup. He would not discuss the financial subject. He is expected to be called as :c witness. It was shown today that the Rockefeller money, which came in lots of 450 thousand dollars over a period of years, was trans ferred from one fund to another at the will of the board of education or its finance committee. Such action always followed the recommenda tion of President Jessup. The minutes of March 7. 1929, show a report hy the president on disbursements of this fund on the new medical unit. The total amount of th- grant was $2,250.6.00, which was dpulicaf-d by the state. Inter est on the investment of the Rocke feller fund totale,! $10,1. 80S.

The committee attorney wanted to know if the university superintendent did not buy up three contracts. The witness did not re call it. The charge against Fisk is that he drove the substantial contractors out of the university competition. and that the work done under his jurisdiction was often wasteful and had to be done over again, at a great loss to the state. It is complained the President Jessup has refused to in vestigate the charges against Fisk. World-Herald. Phone your Want Ad to No. 6. Washington After many years of bitter controversy, the house adopt ed a resolution to abolish the short or "lame duck" sessions of congress by the overwhelming vote of 2S9 to 93. The measure now goes to the senate. It provides for an amend ment to the constitution to drop the short session of congress after the biennial November elections. It also would permit a newly elected con gress to be seated on Jan. 4 instead of three months later and a newly elected president on Jan. 24, instead of March 4. Before the resolution becomes effective, however, the pro posal must be submitted to the states and approved by thirty-six of the forty-eight. Carrying an amendment sponsor ed by Speaker Longworth to termin ate the second annual session with in four months, the measure was sub stituted for the Norris resolution previously approved six times by the senate. The Ohioan said it was "the fair, square thing to do" to adopt the house measure as an amendment to the Xorris proposal so that it might go to conference with a view to a settlement of the old dispute this session. Adopt liongworth Amendment. The fight came on the Longworth amendment, which was adopted by 230 to 1-tS on a record vote. Taking the floor for one of the few times since he has occupied the speaker's chair, Longworth said he wouli withdraw all his opposition to th proposed constitutional amendment if his amendment was adopted. Long worth said he was not one who felt congress should go home, but under the original proposal with congress convening each Jan. 4, for immedi ate sessions, congress would be in session perpetually. He warned against two years of congress con tinually in session. "Then I also think," Longworth added, "that congress should be given a breath ing spell." Altho the Longworth proposal was strongly opposed by Representatives Sumners of Texas and Jeffers of Ala bama, democrats, and a large num ber of republicans, the parties split and put it over. Should the senate accept the amendment, final action would be possible at this session. Senator Norris, author of the sen ate measure, described the Long worth amendment as "bad" but did not commit himself against it. He added, however, he could not see how it could be supported.
