Men Believe Cost, Which Will Run Into Hundreds of Thou- v sands, Will Be Offset by i Store of Knowledge Gained. Chfcuco Tribune-Omaha B .Leaved Wire. Washington, April 21. One hun dred and sixty-two senators and representatives have tentatively ar ranged to take themselves and" their families on a 60-day junket to the Orient, virtually' at government 'ex pense' on one or more army trans ports. The party is expected to number 500 or more. - The trip, if present plans do not miscarry,-promises to be the most elaborate junket ever put on by con gress. Its purposes e somewhat obscure , but a veritable thirst for knowledge ttbout the far eastern sit uation seems to have developed among ewngressmen since the proj ecfwas announced. Many mem bers Relieve, theywill be ble to leg islate with far greater intelligence pre matters' appertaining to the Pa cific ocean, if theytake the trip. -. Cost Will Be Large. .The junket will take in Hawaii, Guam,, the Philippines, Japan, China, Korea and perhaps tortch it -Vladivostok., fts cost to the. government 1 w.ill run high into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but members who -take it are satisfied that this will not be inconsistent with-their economy preachments in view of the store of knowledge they expect to gaiu . Praciically the only expense of the trip to the .members of congress will be $1.25 a day rier head for sub sistence, or about $75, per person for the entire trip. It is expected that the officials at the various ports they will visiwill be authorized by their government to entertain the congressional party royally, so that Lthe cost of travel will be practically nothing. ' - Randall Is Sponsor. Representative Randall, tne pro hibition congressman from Califor nia, is . the chie sponsor for , the tfip.'He said that approximately 85 democratic members of the house and 65 re'publican members and 12 senators had tentatively ac cepted invitations on behalf of their families and themselves to take the trip. He expects, however,, tbat the list will be. cut doton to about 60 members 'and their families when the junket is, ready to start. The War department is showing a gratifying spirit of co-operation in )arranging the trip. It stands ready to furnish the transports nec essary to carry all senators, congress men and their relatives who wish to' take the trip, provided a good reason for using the transports can) be furnished. Those 'who are looking forward to the trip heard disconcerting news when ' it was reported that Presi- Wilson is thinking up ways of keeping congressmen the job dur ing the summer and fall campaign. This may force some curtailment of the intinerary, but will not halt the trip, it was stated. avia- Beats Arthur Mullen 1 In Democratic Clash i For Committee Post ; ' " () W. H. Thompson.
