Opening of Congress Draws Crowds Despite Weather
The second session of the Sixty-Hirth Congress opened with large crowds inside the Capitol and corridors crowded despite bad weather. Speaker Cannon led the House as 631 members were counted, seven new members sworn in, and plans discussed for investigations into Panama Pacific property and money traced to the French Company. Senate and House leaders signaled focus on routine supply bills, a census bill, a modern revision act, and potential harbor and statehood measures for New Mexico and Arizona. The National Monetary Commission considers banking reforms with expanded Comptroller powers. Weather did not deter attendance.
