The President's call was read, four Senators were sworn in. Ohio's Burton delivered a long, moving eulogy of the late ambassador to France, Myron Timothy Herrick. Then Indiana's Watson, now officially the majority leader, uncrossed his legs, swung himself out of his seat, moved adjournment, thus postponing commencement of the Senate's work until another...
...rollicking Bill King, who wore a big straw hat with ribbons down the back and was a great favorite with the middies.
