BEGINS

! WASHlNGTON, Jan. 4.-COn
gress, when it reassembles Monday
after the holiday recess, is expected
to begin at once the real work o.
the winter session. The prelimi
naries have served to indicate which
direction the legislative endeavol
will take. Currency and financia
affairs will retain their place as the
matters of first Importance. Sew.
eral new features of probable effort
and action have been developed
which were not prominent on the
program month ago. Among
these may be mentioned prospective
! liquor legislation and grain and cot.
ton option legislation.
Monday is the time set for re.
Stunning in New York the taking OF
evidence in the government suit to
dissolve the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey.
The session of the Ohio Legislature
to assemble Monday is expected to
be one of more than ordinary i'm

and primary election law are
among the important subjects to be
considered and acted upon.
The second trial of Harry K.
Thaw for the murder of Stanford
White is scheduled to begin Mon
day in the criminal branch of the
supreme court in New York city. It
seems to be the desire of both sides
to make the coming trial shorter
and to cut out many of the ssensa-
tional features that marked the first
trial of the famous case.
One of the most important con-
ventions of the week will be that
of the Farmers Educational and CO.
operative Union of America, which,
on Tuesday, will begin a three-day
session in Memphis. The conven-
tion will decide on plans to decrease
the. cotton acreage in order to bring
the price of the staple up to Is
cents.
Several events will occupy the at
tention of the politicians during the
week. Meetings of several OF the
state committees are expected to
show signs as to which way the
wind blows in regard to the presi-
Dental nominations. William ].

SCORES BRYAN PLATFORM
TAFT LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE is
JUDICIAL ARRANGEMENT.
Republican Candidate for Presidency
Works Hard Studying Bulwarks
of Two Parties.

Hot Springs, Va, July 15.-From
the present indications Judge William
II. Taft's letter of acceptance will be
a judicial scoring Of the Democratic
platform adopted at Denver. All day
aal late into the evening Mr.. Tafts
time was devoted to Study Of the
platforms of the two parties. When
he had concluded his labors he will
be not only an authority on the work
Of the recent conventions but on po-
litical platforms Of the past.
Mr.. Taft became so thoroughly in
terested in his studies of the records
that he did not find time to dictate
line of his speech of acceptance.
Tuesday after his usual morning game
of golf he again delved into the rec
ords. He is securing the complete
seclusion he desired as there is not
single party leader here to interrupt
his work by requests for conference.
Mr.. Taft expects his speech of ae-
eeptance will be about $500 words
in length. On account Of Its brevity 1t
will probably only contain reference to
leading issues Of the campaign, leav-
Ing subjects of less Importance to be
treated in his letter of acceptance
which will contain about $4,000 words.
Mr.. Taft announced Tuesday his
acceptance Of an invitation to address
the Virginia bar association, which
will be In session here the first week
in August. Former United States
Senator Lindsay of Kentucky will de-
liver the annual address before that
body.
