WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. G.
Potters representing many of the
manufacturers of Trenton were in
this city yesterday to attend the SEES
sion of the National Potters' Asocia-
ton, William E. Wells, of East Liv-
erpool, Ohio, is president of the as
ISOLATION. He is a strong advocate of
a protective tariff, and he says that
the present tariff only protect the
trade from the English competition.
He also says it would have to be
much higher to protect the industry
Japan, especially the latter country,
when the labor is paid one-tenth of
what the American pottery workers
receive.
Representative Charles n. Fowler,
of Elizabeth, chairman of the com-
mittee on banking and currency, has
taken up the consideration of the rec
concentrations relative to currency
contained in the message of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Mr.. Fowler thinks
there is urgent need for some finan-
cial legislation. He thinks that il
will be necessary for the banking in
terests to manifest some interest in
the matter, or there is not likely to
be any legislation such as is wanted
in many financial circles. Mr.. Fow-
ler's committee had a short meeting
yesterday, but no action was taken.
Members of the Correspondents
Club, Of Trenton, legislative chroni-
clers, had an enjoyable dinner last
night at the New Willard. The host
was Colonel Robert Thompson, and
he is giving the New Jersey newspa-
per writer's a splendid trip. Senator
Kean was one of the guests at the
dinner last night, and the dinner was
n of the best served at the hotel.
The party will go to Norfolk, Va,
by boat, and return to Baltimore by
boat and thence back to New jersey
by rail-
There is CONSERVATION among the
advocates of the restriction of immi-
grafton because the subject was total
ly ignored in the presidents message.
1t was expected Mr.. Roosevelt would
follow up his recommendation of a
year ago, particularly as the number
OF immigrants that are being ad nit
ted is increasing annually. That he
did not see fit to mention the subject
is considered as significant. Fears are
expressed that he has been ''captur-
ed by the enemy, or the speaker, it
IS difficult to say which, and there is
little hope of doing much in the line
of restricting immigration for the
present.
Senators Kean and Dryden have
recommended the appointment o.
Louis Moses, as postmaster at Cres.
XIII, Bergen county. Senator Kear
has received a petition from the stu
dent body of the Princeton theologi
cal seminary, advocating the consid
Grafton of the condition in the Cong,
states, and also a petition from TIN
Trenton, New Jersey, Baptist Associa
ton, protesting against the re-estab
lishmentsof the canteen in the army.
