Bank is introduced.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Taking up the
Presidents annual message to Con-
gress the House Of Representatives to-
day went through the formality of re-
ferring it and distributing it among the
various committees.
Mr. Payne offered an amendment
providing that those paragraphs relat-
ing to appropriations should be re-
ferred to what he designate das the
"sleering" committee on departmental
expenditures of which there is one for
each department.
Explaining his amendment, Mr. Payne
said:
For the first time in my recollection,
a President in wise and we'll chosen
words, has pointed out the necessity
Of economy in expenditures in the va
rious government departments"
When Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York inter-
rupted Mr.. Payne to question him about
the amendment the Republican leader
sharply exclaimed: THE gentleman from
New York can never get rid of the idea
that someone is trying to hoodwink
somebody"
II am sorry my colleague can never get
rid Of the idea of trying to befossile
somebody with his resolutions" was Mr.
Fitzgerald's hot retort. The amendment
and the resolution We're adopted.
Warning of the nations unpreparedness
for war was given by Rep. Hobson Alt,
in an extended speech in favor of a more
liberal naval policy. His colleague, Mr..
Richardson, seized the opportunity to
make "A speech in advocacy of liberal

Waterville, Me, Dec. 14.-(SpeciaD.
the invitation sent out by the mer
chants ard citizens of Waterville to
visit our beautiful city, commencing
this morning and lasting forever.
The holiday season will be more elab-
crate this year than in the past, the
reason being the opening Of the new
concrete bridge which enables the L.,
A. & w. electric cars to come into Wa
tervile. This is the principal reason
for the gay decorations along the bust
ness streets, which at present are re-
splendent with bunting and electric
bulbs. The stores never presented a
better appearance in the history of the
city and the elaborate electric displays
are very attractive.
The center of attraction is the new
bridge across the Kennebec river. The
bridge was constructed by the F. 7.
Lev CO. of Boston and work was start
ed last August The structure was COM
pleted in contract time, although the
contractors have had seevral draw
backs. The high water during the
month of November, at which time one
of the arches was washed from it's
foundation. and the difficulty over the
removal of the grocery store at the
Winslow end, caused the greater part
of the delay. The work of construc-
tion mas been watched with keen in
tnrest from the time the first work was
started until the present date. me

At last all arrangements are COM
pleted and Waterville will be ready to
receive her visitors this morning. The
decorations are we'll in place, although
the workmen were hampered by the
disagreeable weather Tuesday. The
principal stores and places of business
have been trimmed with bunting and
suspended electric lights. Festoons of
lights have been placed over the street
from Appleton street to the Bay View
hotel; also on Temple, Common and
Silver streets The stores have added
to this and have placed an extra sup
ply OF lights in their display windows.
The effect is a pleasing one. The city
throws open it's doors in the hope that
all will take advantage of this week
and visit the stores, where they will be
accorded warm welcome.
Just a few words to visitors. The
greeting extended by the citizens Of
Waterville is a cordial one and it is
hoped that many will avail themselves
of this opportunity to visit the best
stores in Maine and visit many of the
places of interest. The City building,
the headquarters of the entertainment
committee, has been decorated inside
and out The government rooms will be
utilized for the reception. Here will be

ance possible in guiding the visitors
about the city.

The matter of celebrating the arrival
of the electric cars in this city origi-
mated at the meeting of the Waterville
Retail Merchants Association held in
November. when a committee was APP
pointed to make arrangements for a
suitable demonstration. The merchants
deemed the idea a good one, as the
celebration would come practically
during the Christmas holiday week.
