PLANS new PARTY
Correspondent Declares This Is
Meaning of Riis' Reference to

Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-Jacob
A Riis' interview declaring that
President Roosevelt would run for a
third term if it became necessary in
order to achieve the defeat Of the
corporations obstructing the presi-

Special Importance is attached to
Mr.. Riis' statement: "Party lines

England or create a Roosevelt par

new YEARS DAY
Governs the Weather for Forty Days
According to Amateur Weather
Prophet.

A reliable Wayne County farmer
volunteered the information yester-
day that this mild spell of weather
will continue until February 10. OF
course the questioner was anxious to
find out how he happened to possess
that knowledge, and asked him about
it. His reply was that the wind, on
New Years Day was in the south
east and that it would continue from
that quarter, more or less, for forty
days. This gentleman said that he
had watched this sign for the last
sixteen years and that it was one of
the few which can be depended up
on. 1t seems that the wind on ew
Years day regulates the weather for
forty days and if there is a high wind
from the west or any other quarter,
is low, it will SO continue for the
allotted time. Of course the climat-
zeal conditions will vary to a certain
extent, but on the average, according
to this man from Jefferson township,
one may judge the weather for forty
days by the conditins on New Years
day. According to this same man
there will be a good crop of wheat il
the sun on New Years day smiles on
the fields of green. This, he has
watched for twenty-five years and
has known a failure.

New Rule.
MANY PAPERS TRIMMED

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt has decided that the
government spends altogether too
much money ON printing. He has
drawn up new rules for the various
departments, by which it IS expected
their bills for printing reports and
other documents will be cut almost
in half.
The president has issued to all de-
partments the following instructions:
There shall be appointed by the
head Of each of the executive de-,
p~artments an advisory committee on
the subject Of printing and publica-
ton. The chairman shall be an as
sistant secretary or other qualified
official and at least one member of
the committee shall have had practic-
al experience in editing and printing.
1t shall be the duty of such COM
mittee under direction of the head
Of the department to see that unnec-
essary matter is excluded from re-
ports and publications; to see that
copy is carefully edited before and
not after going to the printing Of
fee; to do away with the publication
of unnecessary tables, and to require
that statistical matter be published
in condensed and ineligible form.
The following general principles,
the president orders, hereafter shall
govern the form Of annual reports:
Annual reports shall be confined to
concise accounts Of work done and
expenditures incurred during the pc
Rod covered. with recommendations
relating to the future.
Contributions to knowledge in the
form of scientific treaties shall not
be included in ANIMAL reports.
Illustrations in annual reports
shall be excluded, except maps and
diagrams indispensable to the under.
standing of the text, views Of struc-
lures begun Or erected, views show.
ing conditions in outlying possessions
of the United States.
Inserted material, written or com
piled by persons not connected will
the reporting office, and geographic
al, and eulogistic matter relating tt
the past or present personnel of tn,
office shall be excluded.
This action of the president is thu
result of a report made to him OIL
the public printing by the committee
on department methods. popularl,
known as the Keep commission
which has been investigating the sub
ject by his direction.
This report, which was made pub
lie today, makes among others tn,
following recommendations:
The installation of a cost kaepin.

assistance in installing such a sys

now and February II, her wedding
day. Miss Alice Roosevelt will prob
ably be robed in a greater number
and more kinds Of wedding gowns by
the ov~er-anxious gdssips than any
bride has ever been known to wear.
The first account was of her mothers
wedding gown, which also did dutyfor
her grandmother for the same sort OF
occasion. The news that this would
be worn was given out by an over
jealous friend. The next was a plain,
heavy, white satin gown, with the
lace from her mothers wedding
gown, upon the bodice. This was
getting nearer what is now apparent.
ly the most truthful description of
this important feature Of the we'd
ding day. 1t is now announced by
some of the patrons Of a Baltimore
tailor that they have caught glimpses
of a gorgeous white satin garment, of
the riches and heaviest quality, inter-
mingled with long pieces Of heavy
white brocaded satin, with now and
then a dash of flmy chiffon and con-
siderable rare and valuable lace. All
this, they whisper, is for the next
White House bride.
The lace has been in thee Lee fam
lily of Moston of which Alice's moth
er was a member, for several genera
tions, and is Of great value. The
gown, which is agitating the feminine
public, is really being made in Balti-
more, and is of both brocaded and
plain satin. 1t will be made in court
style, that the fair bride may wear it
when she is presented in the next
London season, when she and Mr..
Longworth expect to be in London.
The skirt will be of the plain satin
and the train, according to the court
rules, will be very long and of the
rich brocade. The bodice will be
embroidered with seed pearls. The
fabric for the gown was WOW IN
Paterson, N. J. There are ten yards
of the brocade in a crest pattern, the
loom of which was destroyed. after
the making of the required number
lof yards, and there are sixteen yards
of the plain satin. 1t is said to have
cost the firm 81 900 to have given
Miss Roosevelt an exclusive pattern
for this gown. The fitting of these
garments has all been done in Wash
ington. for the tailor has a branch
place here, but the work is all being
done in Baltimore.
OF course there are many other
gowns, all carefully guarded as to
color, texture and style, that the pub
lie may know nothing of them. One
is a sage green silk with Innings of
pale yellow. Another is Of the pal
est Nile green satin, a favorite color
with Miss Roosevelt. Her going
away gown is also being made by the
Baltimore tailor, and is of gray
broadcloth. With this she will wear

brought from the Orient. Thi:
