INAUGURAL IN JANUARY
MR.. HENRY NOW PROPOSES AN
EARLIER DATE.
Offered as an Alternative for Those
Members Who Oppose Last
Thursday in April.

Rep. Henry Of Texas, whose resolu-
auguration of future Presidents and Vice
Presidents of the United States from the
4th of March to the last Thursday in
April was recommitted to the judiciary
committee, after sharp fight on the floor
of the House several days ago. has now
formally offered two alternative PROPOSE
tions
He has reintroduced his original resolu-
ton. with an addition, drawn to meet a
number of criticisms made on the floor,
extending the time during which the
House of Representatives may choose a
President when the right of choice is up
to that body. He has also introduced an
other joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution identical In Ian
guage except that it fixes the second
Tuesday in January as inauguration day.
This resolution meets with the approval
OF those members of the House who
think that there Is already too long an
interval between the election Of the Presi-
dent, Vice President and members of the
House Of Representatives, and who, there
fore. object to any further extension from
the 4th Of March to the last Thursday In
April. a period Of practically two months.
Mr.. Henry said he thought the date
should be changed, and therefore he had
introduced these two resolutions so as
To get both alternatives before the House
and get action on the proposition favored
by the majority.
Both resolutions have been referred to
the House committee on the election of
the President Vice President and mem
bers of Congress. OF which Representative
Gaines of West Virginia is chairman.
Mr.. Gaines says his committee will take
quick action on the subject.

Senator Hepburn Opposes
Celebration for R. E. Lee

Opposition to the honoring in any way
by the nation of Gen. Robert E. Lee
sprang up anew in the Senate yesterday
afternoon.
Senator Hepburn offered a resolution
demanding to know if the customs Office
at Newport News, Va, was to be closed
today in honor of Lees birthday. The
resolution created mild sensation in the
Senate chamber.
This action followed closely his attitude
as shown In his speech on the late Sen
ator Shoup of Idaho the day before In
the course of that he declared that Con-
gress never contemplated for a moment
that any state. under any conditions. at
any time. would place the statue Of Ben
edict Arnold in that hall" While Gen.
Lees name was not mentioned, the gen.
eral inference was that he was referring
to the Confederate leader
Commenting on the action Of Senator
Hepburn. Senator Money, the leader of
the minority in the upper house, said:
1T is strange to me that here, forty-five
years after the war. a man who never
heard gun fired should make such a
spectacular exhibition of sectional venom.
Even his own colleagues will condemn
him. Nobody would have done SO more
quickly than that great soldier and mag
unanimous man, Gen. Grant. In several
weeks / spent with Gen. Grant at a hotel
in Mexico he frequently spoke of Lee in
the highest terms of admiration. / hone
Senator Hepburn will not pursue his un-
wise course further, but will let this mat
ter drop
Asked II he thought the usual cere-
monies would be dispensed with in the
case of Gen. Lees statue Senator Money
said:
Rather than have statue of Gen. Lee
sneaked into Statuary Hall, think ono
means should be spared to make the cere-
monies of acceptance the most elaborate
and impressive of any ever held. No man
whose statue stands in that hall deserves
more praise for his noble qualities as a
man, a soldier and a Christian. Gen.
Grant would have echoed that"

Acres Owned by New York.
Gov. Hughes Of New York discussed
the manner in which the Empire state was
conserving its forests. He said that l.
coo. 600 acres of forest reserve were now
owned by the state, much OF which the
state had to buy back from citizens. He
said states which were not thickly set
tied should take warning from New York
and hold on to their forests in the first
place.
Gov. Hughes laid down the general
and control the waterpower Of the
streams. He said that the states
should develop these waterpowers
along comprehensive lines which would
be benefit to the people. and that once
they were developed the state should
not sell them, but should lease them
and retain the control. He said that In
New York they were on the eve OF a
great era Of development of water
rights and power along these lines.

The great difficulty up to this time has

the people have failed to appreciate, to

The seeing corporation official now
recognizes that public sentiment demands
regulation by the state, in the interests of
the people of all the companies operating
under public franchises for public service
and private gain.
Companies engaged In interstate trade
