SHALL IT ADJOURN
That's the Principal QueS=
tion Before Congress
II Special Session Lasts Until Monday
Noon it Will be Situation Without
Precedent-Wood's 'sFriends are Con-
cerned.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Unless there is
an agreement by both houses of con-
gress to adjourn the present session
before noon Monday, when the regular
session begins, all nominations must
fail; and if the present special session
ends by limitation, thus preventing the
president from sending recess appoint
ments to the senate, all pending recess
appointments must terminate with the
converting of congress in its regular ses-
sion. These considerations today fur
nished the incentive for a number of
conferences looking to an agreement
that the house adjourn on MonCay or
even tomorrow ~ order to permit the
president to send in recess appoint
ments.
Friends of General Wood are vitally
interested and will try to bring about
an adjournment by co~current action.
This would mean General Woods re-
version tc the rank of brigadier gener-
al and have a similar effect on the ap-
pointments of 167 army officers advanc-
ed by reason of General Woods pro-
motion. all of whom have assumed the
rank and pay of their new appoint
ments in the same manner as though
their nominations had been confirmed
by the senate.
The situation has also been canvass
ed at the war department and much
alarm is felt over the disturbance that
will occur regarding officers who were
promoted in the recess and whose
rank depends on the promotion of
General Wood and other officers. In
view of this situation It is possible
that the administration viii suggest a
sine die adjournment.
One reason given hy. the leaders of
the houre for not pass ing a resolution
of adjournment was that it would lie
a discourtesy to the president 10 i'd

ing the work for which it is called

A COSTLY KANSAS FIRE
The States Leading Mercantile House
Loses Half Million.

Salina; Kansas, Dec. A fire that
started here at noon today and which
for time threatened the entire busi-
ness district, destroyed the four story
building occupied by the H. D. Lee
Wholesale Grocery Co., damaged the
building and contents of the H. D.
Lee Hardware Co., and burned sew
eral smaller buildings, causing an ag-
gregate loss estimated It $500, 900. The
insurance amounted to about $250,G00.
The loss sustained by the hardware
company is placed at $4,000 and that
on the grocery company at approxi-
mately S435, ,0G0. Both firms are a part
of the H. d. Lee Mercantile company.
The fire started at 1916 in the pa
per bag department on the fourth
floor of the grocery company's build
ing A stiff north wind was blowing,
and before the fire department, which
proved entir ely inadequate, arrived, the
entire building was in flames. Burning
brands carried by the wind caught on
houses in various parts of the town,
and dozens of citizens were forced to
form bucket brigades to save their
homes.

ther. 1t is interesting to compare the

AS a nation, we are able to possess

national interests and duties require
On the other hand, we should not be

The cost of military protection has
frequently been compared with that OF

parison is not inapt, and has a special
significance in considering naval ex-
penditures. l have caused a compari-
son to be made between the national

table computed in this manner show
ing the percentage of the total prop

the support of the navy by ten years
periods in the last century shows an
average annual expenditure of $O.00.12c
for each dollar valuation.
The expenditures for 1903 were
$82, ,61S,34O and by reasonable approxi-
nation the valuation for that year
was s1O6, 239, ,266,S72. Thus there was
expended for this year for each dollar
of national valuation $0.00077. If the
average of the last century had beer
reached the expenditure would have
been $13O,CT4, ,29S."

DEBTS OF DOWIE
The Lawyers Are Taking a
WhirI at Them
Allegations That BanKruptcyProceed-
ings Were Premature One Thing
Certain is That There's a Great
Tangle.

Chicago Dec. stronger proof of
the fact that all of John Alexander
Dowie's creditors are not a unit in the
desire to have his estate administered
by the bankruptcy court was given
this afternoon. Seven creditors repre-
senting claims of more than 100000
filed an answer in the United States
district court in which they asked
Judge Kohlsaat to inquire into the
question OF Dowie's insolvency at
once. They deny that the head of the
Zion City is insOlvent, or that he was in
! hat condition when The bankruptcy
proceedings We're begun against him
and they also aver that Dowie shoulG
not be declared bankrupt for any cause
set. forth in the original petition.
The lawyers who represent these
seven creditors declare that additional
claims Will be cited in the contest in
I bankruptcy proceedings. Simultane-
ousiy with the filing of these findings
attorneys representing the 100000
claim of Samuel Stevenson, Dowie'
brother -inlaw. announced that they
would appear in the federal court to-
morrow morning with Dowie's repre-
sentativeS and ask the court that the
original petitioners be requested to
give an indemnity bond in the sum OF
100000. This request will be made
it is said for the purpose of having
something to hold those who brought
the bankruptcy petition responsible in
the event the case is dismissed on a
showing of DoWie's solvency.
AT the same time Dowie's repre-
sentatives will ask Judge Kohlsaat to
order the receivers to- Vacate the lace
factory at Zion City. This industry is
in charge of a corporation and as
Dowie IS not the sole stockholder
it will be urged that this concern
should not be controlled by the bank
ruptcy court. The claim will be made
that Stevenson holds stock in this cor
poration as security for his claim OF
! 100000 and the contention will be
made in court that Stevenson's inter-
est will be affected by the litigation.
Attorney Frank Helmer, who repre-
sents clients having claims of about
| $4,000 against DOwie, said tonight
Several of our clients have been
doing business with Dowie for a long
time and have always been paid wha'
was due them. They believe full pay
ment will be made them without the
receivership of the federal court be
cause they do not think Dowie is in
solvent. The receivership. in our
opinion, is unnecessary and without il
Dowie would PROBABLY be able to pay
100 cents for every dollar of his in
debtedness, and have much money left
For this reason we want to have the
costly bankruptcy proceedings dis
missed. AS nearly as l can determine
from an examination of Dowie's ac-
counts, he has assets worth at least
SIC, 100000 while the claims against
him do not exceed S400 900. If such is the
the case it is unwise to continue the
receivership."

Senator Hanna Calls on the
President
THEY TALK FOR HOURS
The Senator Left the White House at
Late Hour Last Night-Both Highly
Pleased A Complete Understand
ing-President Wishes Senator to
Manage Campaign.

Washington. Dec Am important
conference was held at the White
House tonight between the president
and Senator Hanna. 1t occurred on the
initiative OF Mr.. Hanna and to both par
ticipants the conference was perfect
ly satisfactory. Senator Hanna ar
rived at $50 and remained with The
president until IL o'clock. At the con-
clusion neither the president nor Sen.
ator Hanna cared to discuss for publi-
cation the details.
1t was stated that the meeting had
not differed in aDy personal respect
from others that they have had in the
past and which they will lhave in the
future. 1t was announced that reports
recently circulated that there had been
or was likely to be unpleasant re-
lations between the president and the
senator amounted to an abSurdity.
The president himself wants it to be
understood that he will not take oc-
casion to dignity any of them with at
tention. 1t may be said that the rela-
tionS between the two are of cordial
and appfeciatiVe friendship.
The conference tonight took a wide
range. 1t dealt principally with pend
ing and prospective legislation before
congress. particularly with that relat-
ing to the isthmian canal and with
general political conditions. Before
and since he became chairman of the
interoceanic committee of the senate
Mr. Hanna has manifested deep intr-
est in all questions relating to that
waterway. He took tonight to discuss
he present situation, especially its
diplomatic phases, very fully with the
president.
The agreement on the subject was
absolute. Both, it can be said. arc
confident the position taken by the ad-
ministration will be approved by the
American people.
The contested confirmation of Gener-
al Leonard Wood was not considered
though an incidentan reference was
made to it. 1t is known that the pres
ident and Senator Hanna differ on that
subject, but each fully recognizes that
| the difference is honest and sincere
and it is believed by friends OF borh
| that it cannot possibly interrupt tneir
relations. Likewise it can be said nc
discussion took place concerning the
changes of the republican national
| committee.
President Roosevelt has expressed to
| Mr.. Hanna his desire that ne shall re-
| tain the craftsmanship. The scna ton
has not announced his feeling regard
ing the matter. 1t may, be said thai the
state of Mr.. Hanna's nealsh is in
! volved in the decision and indeed viii
| be the controlling factor in IL After
Hanna left the White House ne was
| besieged by newspaper men who de-
sired to learn the result of the con-
| ference. He declined to make any
statement, insisting that it was mere
ly a friendly talk over matters of mu-
tual interest and was of no public sig
nificance or Importance.
Il spent a very pleasing evening,
he admitted, finally. THAT is about al
there is to it. You can say, however
| that all the stories about wide differ
ences between the president and myself
are absurd. 1 have no statement tC
| make"
