THEY NEVER SPEAK
 AS THEY PASS BY
SPOONER AND LA TOILETTE OF WISCONSIN MEET FACE TO FACE WITHOUT SHOWING THE LEAST SIGN OF RECOGNITION.

Washington, December 6.-(Special.) )- Senators Spooner and LaFollette Of Wis consin met on the steps of the White House this morning and passed each other without the wink of an eye or the ghost of a smile. Senator Latollette was just going out after having introduced 10 the President Representative Nelson, one of the baby members of the House. Sena- tor Spooner was just going in. "Didnt [ you notice Senator Spooner, who just went in?' one of Senator LaFollette's friends inquired after the colu wave caused by the frigid meeting had become somewhat neutralized by the warmth of the December outer air. "l didn't happen to see him until after he had gone in replied Senator LaF ollette." And then ne winked his left eye.

Boulder of Cleveland, president, will preside. Speaker Cannon and Representative Burton chairman of the house committee on rivers and har- bors, are among the speakers at today S session. The object of the convention is to secure an annual appropriation of s5O,OO0000 from Congress for systematic work in the improvement of the nations S waterways.
 Representative Joseph F. Ransdell of Louisiana, who has made a tour of 20 GOO miles around the country since the last session of Congress in behalf of the riv- CTS and harbors movement, will report to the convention that he has found sentiment to be strongly in favor of vig- orous prosecution of waterways improve ment as a remedy for the wholly in- adequate transportation facilities now af- forded by the railroads"
 At the morning session, which was called to order by II. D. Goulder of tieNeidHu, pTeSlueHl or the congress, Speaker Cannon warned the delegates not to expect too much from Congress, for he said "too much cannot be done at one time. Do the most important thing first and concentrate upon it and then take up the next most important thing"
 Representative J. K. Ransdell of Louisl- ana submitted his annual report as chair man of the executive committee. At the afternoon session the principal features were the report of committees on reorgan- ization, the announcement of committee on nomination, resignations and the se- lection of vice presidents of the congress
 Speeches were made by John Barrett American minister to Colombia, who spoke on the relation of the internal improve ments in the United States to the Panama canal: W. c.

 In its report the committee on reorgan- ization recommended the discontlnuance of the executive committee and suggested as officers of the congress the following: A president, one vice president from each Stdte anu leIfllOIy, one III Congress to be named by delegate; a sec retary and treasurer. which offices may be held by one person."
 1t also recommended a board of direc- tors to consist of a president, secretary of the congress and not less than twenty members selected according to geographl- cal divisions of the country, the president to be chairman of the board. The com mittee also recommended:
 "It shall be the duty of the board to prosecute the work of securing regular and increased annual appropriations for internal improvements of the country without regard to particular localities or projects and to aid in the moulding of public sentiment in favor of such move ment.
 ''The board is further charged with the duty of increasing membership in the congress of trade, commercial and waterway associations, corporations. firms and individuals and to formulate and call meetings of the congress at such times as may be deemed necessary"

 The machine exceeded expectations. MT Parsons voice was heard with perfect distinctness throughout the parts of the building to which the wires had been run Further experiments will be conducted, however, before the installation of Mr Turner's system is recommended.

Decided Sentiment Has Arisen for Cut ting of ibution-Congress Deserted for Rivers and
 Haroors Convention.
RY WArrEFsoN sTEALEY.

Washington December e.--(Special)- the southern congressmen and the repuh- liean members from California are getting quite chummy these days. The Japanese and the negro questions put them in very much the same state rights boat. It is apparent however. that California is not alone in the west on the question of the Japanese. Western public men point out that this problem has been developing Tor a long time. The California matter sim ply brought on a crisis.
 "The question is not local so California, V said a western senator today. 'The truth is. that the whole west, if not the en- tire country, is honeyeombed with d Japanese crisis. I have seen evidence enough to make me believe it. They are working just as they did in Russia and Manchuria before the war with the Rus sians. The people out west are very much in earnest about this proposition. The Japanese are still coming to our shores and will keep coming and making the problem larger if they are permitted With out restriction.
 Congress was practically deserted today owing to the sessions of the national rivers and harbors congress, which com- menced it's work here this morning. All the members, especially from the south and middle west manifested much interest in the meeting and it is assured that good results will be brought forth. Regardless of the sentiments expressed by the speak ar and Chairman Burton against the issue of bonds for improvement of waterways the principle has much support in Con- gress and 1t is expected, that it will not he long before it .lll ,'emapd a strong following
 Representative Underwood of Alabama belives that an issue of bonds is the only nractical way to bring about the great scheme of improvements of rivers and har- bors which it is hoped some day to at tain. The Alabama congressman believes something like five hundred million dol- lars will do the work, and as 1t IS nec- essary and will have to be undertaken sooner of later, he is of the opinion that the government should take the steps at once for a preliminary issue which would start the work.
 Mir. Underwood, with T. H. Moiton' Robert Jemson, Jr., and James Dewpef- rv of Birmingham were present at the congress this morning as representatives of the Birmingham Commercial club.
