CONGRESS TOO
SLOW FOR TAFT.
If Law Makers Do Not Get Leg
islation Out of Way He Will
Send Message.
HOLDS A CONFERENCE TODAY
Executive Talks With Senators and
Representatives in Charge Of
Measures He is Anxious to
Have Disposed of.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The slow pro-
gress OF congress i'm disposing of inn
portant measures, which the president
has especially urged upon its atten-
tion, is causing him extreme dissatis-
faction and he is taking measures 10
let that fact be known. Today he was
called upon at the White house, pre-
sumably at his own request, by sew
eral legislators in charge of various
measures and the necessity for prompt
action at least upon some minor mat
ters of legislation strongly urged by
him.
Among these were: Senator Bever-
idge, chairman of the committee on
territories, who is looking after the
Alaskan territorial bill; Senator Car
ter, who is fathering the postal saw
ings bank bill; Senator Borah who
has distinguished himself by his active
opposition to some features of the
Alaska measure; and Representative
Hayes, ranked as an insurgent, whose
aid might be helpful in securing unit
ed action by the republican majority
i'm the house upon the republican plat
form pledges.
1t is believed the president desires
such measures as the Arizona and
New Mexico statehood bill. the Alas
kan territory, and others of compara-
lively minor Importance be acted upon
at once in order to clear the way for
some of the larger subjects, at least
those likely to give rise to prolonged
discussion and controversy.
Beveridge is said to have reported he
found difficulty in getting his commit
tee together to dispose of business and
similar complaint comes from other
quarters.
The president will continue his per-
sonal interviews with various leaders
in the senate and house, and if this
course does not avail to promote speedy
action i'm congress on measures re-
ferred to, it is entirely possible he
may feel called upon to send a special
message to congress placing the re-
sponsibility where 1t belongs.

HENRY WATTERSON HAS
led AN EYtNIFUL LIFE
Foremost Journalist Of the South
Celebrates His Seventeen
Birthday.
GET MANY CONGRATULATIONS

Louisville, Ky, Feb. 16-Henry
Watterson, the veteran editor of the
Courier Journal and often referred to
as the foremost journalist of the
South, celebrated the SEVENTEEN an
niversary Of his birth today and was
the recipient of many congratulations.
Family bTeavemeents and falling eye
sight have combined to cause the vet
eran editor to relinquish active work
almost wholly during the past year.
but his interest i'm public affairs is as
active and his pen as ready when he
chooses to use it, as i'm the stirring
days of his youth when he was editor
of the saucy Chattanooga Rebel"
Mr.. Watterson was born in the
storm center of national politics, at
Washington, February 16, 1910. In
consequence of defective eyesght,
which has always troubled him, he
was sent but little to the public
schools. but received much careful
education at home. At the commence
ment of the war he enlisted i'm the
Confederate army and became chief of
scouts for Gen. Joseph f. Johnson.
At the end of the war he made his way
practically penniless to Louisville
where a few years later he joined
w. ID. Haldeman i'm the newspaper en-
terprise which made fame and for
tune for both Of them.
Mr. Watterson became active i'm poll
itics in 1872, and between that time
and 1892 no democratic platform was
written without his aid and counsel
He presided over the convention that
nominated Tilden, and was prominent
as leader and platform Trainer until
the convention of 1896 which nomin-
ated William ]. Bryan upon a free
silver platform, and called forth from
Mr.. Watterson, then in Switzerland
the famous telegram, mo compromise
with dishonor"-a message that con-
firmed w. ID. Haldeman, owner of tho
Courier Journal, in his determination
to oppose Mr.. Bryan.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Americans in
the Matagalpa district, the new war
center in Nicaragua, are all well, ac-
cording TO a report of Consul Olivares.
who went there to investigate COM
plants of outrages committed by Ma
driz troops.
1t was reported in revolutionary cir
cles here today that a further investi-
cation OF the Nlcaraguan situation is
being made by Lieut. Commander
Symington of the navy and Lieut..
Price of the marine corps. Private ad-
vices TO those i'm the inner circle Of
the provisional governments advisers
brought information this morning that
two American officers are making a
close observation of conditions at tho
war center.
There is a feeling of decided un-
easiness among Central American di-
plomats as to what the report of these
officers will be.
Olivarcs reports the evacuation of
Matagalpa by Chamorro, This seems
to be i'm line with the strategic plan
predicted here all along. and IL is now
forecasted that Chamorro and the
main body of his army will be heard
from at Granada where his family IS
an powerful and he will be assured
of ample reinforcements and unlimited
supplies.

SEEK ANOTHER SUGAR MILLION,
Government Gets Curious About Ex-
port Drawbacks.

New York. Feb. 16.-Today may bring
a decision i'm the claim of Secretary
Charles II. Heike of the American
Sugar Refining Co. that because he
gave material testimony before the
grand jury he is entitled to immunity
on all conspiracy charges.
After the Heike case is disposed of.
Federal Prosecutor Wise will take up
another phase of the sugar investiga-
tions. The inquiry is to be directed at
drawbacks which sugar refining COM
panies have received on sugar imports
when the refined product has after
ward been exported. The inquiry will
be to determine whether these draw
backs were always collected on bona
fide exports of sugar made from i'm
ported raw material.
If the contrary proves to be true, the
federal authorities say that there may
be further collections from the sugar
companies by the government, possibly
TO the extent of $1,000,00O.
