The measures were offered as the senate was adopting a resolution ap propriating $50,000 to build an in augural stand at the capitol and to defray other expenses there in con nection with the induction of Presi dent-elect Harding into office. An attempt to cut the appropriation to $10,000 was unsuccesssful. A. resolution introduced by Sena tor McCumber, Republican, North Dakota, would prohibit hotels from charging guests more than the rate charged last month and the present month. He ^old the senate that con gress would provide police protec tion for the crowds from pickpock ets and asked if any protection was to be given from "the bigger rob bers." " A .pickpocket," he said "may rob a visitor of $5 and if he is caught he will go to jail. But a ho tel proprietor may rob a visitor of $100 a day and insist upon doing it Beven times over.
