ADJOURNED TILL FRIDAY.
TIE Nations "Hands" Are without
Employment i'm Their Convention.


Washington, D. c.. Dec, 1.--Having
and received the Pres:-
dents annual message, Congress today
fouLi itself literally "out of work
and in consequence both houses ad-
iourned over until Friday when II
some of the various committees fail
to provide something to do, adjourn
ment will be taken until Monday next.
The formality of reading the mes
sage aloud consumed about an hour
and a half today. When the conclu-
sion was reached the House immedi
ately adjourned, but the Senate re-
NAMED in session for some time after
wards, an executive session being
held before that body adjourned. But
little fault was found with the mes
sage among the Republicans, who
factory a document as the President
could prepare and remain consistent
with the party's campaign pledges.
The Democrats approved Of the Presi-
dents efforts to economize, but depre-
Gated his suggestion that the Monroe
Doctrine had practically become OBJ
solete.
THE message is written in the
Presidents customary terse. vigorous
STYLE" commented Representative
Payne, the majority leader in the
House, while Representative Clark,
the minority leader, thought about all
that could be said about the massage
was that it was comparatively brief,
"as discussion Of almost all important
matters is relegated to special mes
sages." In both houses the message
was subjected to the most careful
scrutiny and while the members paid
little attention to the perfunctory
reading Of it by the clerks, they buried
their heads between its pages and di-
gested as much of 1t as they could at
one reading.
Following the custom the message
was referred to the committee Of the
whole by the branches to be prepared
for "vivsection" by the various COM
mittees whose business it is to deal
with the subjects discussed by the
President in his message.
The Senate adjourned at 2:3C

sympathize with him in the death OF
his brother, DR.. j. W. MCGEE, which
occurred at his home in Raleigh Mon

Cole said in part:
"I never knew a whittier soul thar

that can be said is, the Liberals are
aggressive and hopeful, while the Un-

Parents in Western Addition
Appeal Against Ruling

Protest has been made by certain
residents of the Western addition over
the action of the board of education
in removing the seventh grade pupils
from the Grant primary school in Pa
cific avenue and transferring them to
the Pacific heights school in Jackson
street. The parents of some of the
children thus transferred declare that
Pacific heights school is already over
crowded while one of the rooms in the
Grant school is thus left vacant.
superintendent of Schools Roncovieri
says that he, personally, is in favor
of permitting these pupils to remain
at the Grant school, but the board of
education has decided upon a more
strict Interpretation of the rule that
grammar grade classes can not be
maintained in schools which are pri-
mary.
President O'Connor Of the board de-
nies that Pacific heights school is
crowded beyond it's capacity and says
that the average of pupils is A to a
room. The people Of that vicinity were
permitted TO have seventh grade two
years ago. but the board now feels
that it is time TO put a stop to the
gradual transformation of the Grant
primary school into one having the
