to add two or three hundred men to the

In speaking of the absence Of reports to
Congress" which are popularity supposed to
be made on the opening day, veteran en-
ploye of the big printery said: IF COM

supposed to be made to Congress were
printed and laid on each members desk the
opening day there would be nothing but
books, books. The Washington monument
would appear small beside the pile" AS a
matter of fact it is said that some reports
to Congress are not gotten out until Con-

Originated in This Country

Proclamation.

''The time Of year has come when,
In accordance with the wise custom
OF our forefathers, 1t becomes my
duty to set aside a special day Of
Thanksgiving and praise to the AL
mighty because of the blessings we
have received. and of prayer that
these blessings may be continued.
Yet another year Of widespread
well-being has passed. Never before
in our history or in the history of
any other nation has a people enjoyed
more Astounding material prosperity
than is ours; prosperity so great
that tt should arouse in US no spirit
OF reckless pride, and least of all a
spirit of needless Disregard Of our re-
sponsibilities, but rather a sober
sense Of our many blessings, and a
resolute purpose. under Providence,
not to forfeit them by any action of
our own.
Material well-being, indispensable
though it Is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this foundation, then
our national life will be as meaning
less and empty as a house where
only the foundation has been laid.
Upon our material well-being must
beebuilt superstructure of Individual
and national life lived in accordance
with the laws of the highest morality.
or else our prosperity itself will in the
long run turn out a curse instead Of
blessing. We should be both rev.
erently thankful for what we have
received and earnestly bent upon
turning 1t into a means Of grace and
not of Standardization President

yes Or no to question. The witness con-
tended that the question could not be an

SUSIE JENIFER's TRIAL.
Regular Panel Exhausted and Addi-
tional Talesmen Summoned.

Regular Panel Exhausted and Add
tional Talesmen Summoned.
Justice Stafford in Criminal Court No.
today began to impanel jury to try the
case of Susie Jenifer, colored, indicted for
murder in the first degree in connection
with the death of her infant In May last.
The regular panel of jurors was exhausted
before noon and the court directed the
marshal to summon forty additional tales
men to appear this afternoon. The jury will
not be sworn today SO as to avoid the neces-
sity Of locking them up over Thanksgiving
day. The case will proceed Friday morn
ing and is expected to be concluded In one
day.
The Indictment alleges that Susie Jenifer,
Immediately after the birth Of her child,
put 1t in shed and covered 1t with rub
bish where it was found several days later
In q semi-conscious condition. The govern
nient will endeavor to prove that the child
died few days after being found from the
effects Of exposure.
The defense, 1t is understood, will be
that the woman was in an irresponsible
condition of mind when she put the child
in the shed. Several noted alienists. includ-
ing DIR. Edward N. Brush Of Baltimore
have examined the woman and will testify
as to her mentality.
Assistant United States Attorney Turner
is conducting the prosecution and Attorney
w. Calvin Chase appears for the defense.
