widow Of Grover Cleveland. AS the meas
ura is in line with the Presidents desires.
its favorable consideration by Congress
is expected. In 1870 Mrs. Abraham Lin
coin received pension of $4,000 year,
the amount being raised TO $4,000 in 1883
To Mrs. James A Garfield, Mrs. James k-
Polk and Mrs. John Tyler were also grant
ed pensions of $1,000 each in 1888.
similar pension was granted to Mrs. Will
lam Mckinley in 1902. Under legislation
enacted last February Mrs. Cleveland and
Mrs. BENJAMIN Harrison received the priv
ilege of sending their personal correspond
ence through the mails free of charge.
Another bill introduced to-day by Mr..
Root authorizes the President to appoint
q commission on national historical pub
lications. This commission is to consist
of mine persons of the highest standing
for scholarship and judgment in the field
of United States history" Authority is
given the commission to defray the cost
OF preparing and printing such volumes
of material dealing with American history

islation has the support of the Carnegie
Institution, whose representativ are now
engaged in making a research of the ar
Chives of foreign governments with a
view to providing Americans with accu-
rate data regarding the early history OF
their country. The official records of Great
Britain, France and Spain are a perfect

WANT SUIT STOPPED.
Hartman Lines Insist Coz
er1tment Can't Vim.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Setting forth that
the government cannot win the suit for the
dissolution of the merger of the so-called
Hartman lines, instituted at Salt Lake City
two years ago. the ruling spirits of the rail-
road interests have made clear their atti-
tude to the officials here. They want the
pending suit discontinued.
This, in short, was the character OF the
representations made to President Taft and
several of his advisers at the conference
at the White House yesterday by Robert
S. Lovett. president of the Union Pacific
and allied Hartman lines, and his associ-
ates.
The statements made by the railroad off.
eials will be followed by carefully prepared
written data setting forth fully the con-
tention of the railroad interests. Attorney
General Wiekersham and Frank B. Kellogg
will prepare a memorandum for the Presi-
dent giving their opinion on the PROPOSE
tion submitted.
The attitude of the administration cannot
be stated positively. 1t is said, however,
that the railroads must recede materially
from the stand they have taken If they
hope for any relief from the government
unless their contention that the Union Pa
ci.ic and the Southern Pacific lines are not
competitive within the meaning OF the
statute Is accepted

SENATE GETS BILLS.
Among Them Administration's
Interstate Commerce Measure.

IfToTn The IFibune BureauI
Washington. Jan. 1.-The Senate dis
patched business at rapid rate to-day.
Many bills were introduced. among them
being the administration measure to in
crease the powers OF the Interstate Com
ncerce Commission. This bill, which was
offered by Senator Elkins, chairman of the
Committee on Interstate Commerce, is
identical in form with the bill introduced
in the House yesterday by Representative
Townsend. Mr. Eikins also introduced a
bill to allow a reduction of s per cent on
all articles imported in ships and vessels
of the United States
Following the introduction of bills, the
Senate spent half an hour on the calendar,
disposing of all measures unobjeeted TO.
When the Senate meets in executive ses
sion tomorrow Mr. La Toilette will report
from the Committee on the Census prae-
tically all the nominations of census SUI
pervisors which were transmitted to the
Senate early in December Mr.. La Fol-
lette was not consulted about the Wiseen-
sin nominations, and on this account he
was in no hurry to make a report. He
delayed calling meeting of the Census
Committee until to-day.

TALKED BY PROXY
Mrs. Slosson's Husband Tells
Sufragettes about Wyoming.

Only one woman among many who mao
promised 10 speak failed to appear at the
woman suffrage mass meeting, held In 81
MichaeFs Church. seth street and Amster-
dam avenue. last night. She sent her bus
band. Her name was Mrs. May Preston
Slosson. Mrs. James Lee Laidlaw intro
duced the husband as Informed on the
things that the persons In the audience
had hoped his wife would be able to talk
to them about. He was able to do so, he
ventured to hope in turn, and he was
heartily willing.
He had been present many times when
Mrs. May Preston slosson had voted In
Wyoming, he said. He had yet to discover
the first derogatory symptom In her that
the practice of voting In wyoming had
engendered.
WHY did the women of the East consent
to the withholding by politicians of the
right to enjoy the thing that he, Mrs. Slos-
sons husband, yentured to defy any man
to deny the women not only of the East
but OF the world. possessed by every law
of right the right to enjoy?
The lecture room was crowded upstairs
and down. and the platform was crowded
with those women and men who were ready
to lecture. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was
there. Every one had heard of, even If
they had not heard. Mrs. Gait Other speak
ers playedpon the sympathies and the sense
of duty due to woma nkind with various de-
grees of success, SO far as making them
selves heard. was concerned.
Two hours ticked into the Past-the Past
that a male author-Ieeturer had referred
to as embracing 470,0O0 years of struggle
a long story and sad. Mrs. Frederick
Nathan, 'leader OF the 18th Assembly Dis
trict," said she expected the women of
China to be permitted "ere many. many
years. to vote. She showed flags of all
nations and recited statistics pertaining to
the influence welded by women in each.
The Rev. DR.. John P. Peters, called on
unexpectedly, said that even had he re-
ceived notice he should feel compelled to
urge the women TO persevere. Their sue
cess would mean great things all around.
he said.
Seven times speakers were introduced.
and Mrs. Gait still gazed at the audience
through her glasses. Talk for two hours
had been more or less desultory. Mrs.
Gait would epitom,ze things, it was
whispered She would tak-"But let us
take up a collection" said the chairman
She arose finally and wanted to know
how women were to get around the saying
of President Taft and Governor Hughes
and numbers of other men of position and
power In TIE state Legislature. that when
when woman wants 20 vote she will
vote" She made a regulation appeal for
woman suffrage, and the audience seemed
to decide that her suggestion to count
noses in every district, telling members OF
the Legislature what the owners of the
noses stood for in the matter Of equal suf-
frage, was a good one. Women captains
were asked to join as volunteers, and the
polling of the districts by the means in
dicated will. il is said, begin at once.

Chairman Charles z. Kelby. after routine
business had been dispensed with, asked

NEW INDUCTION DAY
CHANGE Is FAVORED.
Plan to Hold Future Inaugu-
rations IN April.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau.l


Washington, Jan. 11.-Congress to-day
took the first definite step looking 70
change in the date of the Presidents in
auguraton, when the COMMITTEES on the
Judiciary of the House reported fatorably
Joint resolution proposing an amendment
TO the Constitution. The resolution prob
ably will be called UP tomorrow. and as
1t is not a partisan measure no opposition
to it's passage is expected
Under the proposed amendment the
terms of President Taft and Vice-Presi-
Gent Sherman will be extended to noon of
the last Thursday in April, 1913. Mem
bers of the next House will be able te'
draw more salary than the members of
the present House. for the terms of the
former will not expire until the last
Thursday in April. 1918. The amendment
also provides that all Senators elected
prior TO the adoption of the amendment
shall continue in office until noon of the
last Thursday in April next succeeding
the fourth day of March in the year in
which their terms otherwise would have
expired. the provision of Article /, Section
3. of the Constitution, TO the contrary not
withstanding.
The resolution reported by the Judiciary
Committee represents the combined views
OF the members of that committee, and is
a composite of several resolutions intro
duced by various members of the House
and referred 10 the committee. It was
evolved only after numerous meetings and
g great deal of discussion, during which
the members of the committee acquired
much information in connection with>the
Constitution. 1t developed that there
never had been a Congress that properly
could have been designated numerically,
and 1t was for this reason that the reso-
luton failed TO name the 62d Congress as
that in which the change in the terms of
members should occur
Nowhere in the Constitution is there
provision as TO when the terms of the
President and Vice-President and mem
and end. Inauguration day has been on
March 4, and Congress has always met on
March of every year except when it met
in special session, but 1t was not because
Of any requirement in the Constitution or
law 1t has been due entirely to the fol-
lowing of precedent. and if the proposed
amendment TO the Constitution is ratified
by two-thirds of the states the next Con-
sress will be the first to meet under def
mite authority of the Constitution.
Members of the Judiciary Committee
and other members of the House do not
apprehend that the states will offer any
opposition TO a change in the date of the
inauguration and the beginning of terms
OF members Of Congress. They expect the
proposed amendment to be ratified within
q year. and it seems probable, therefore
that Mr. Taft will continue in Office until
the last Thursday of April, 1913.

for a successor TO Clifford Pinchot to head
the forestry service, it was reported to-day
that President Taft might offer the place
10 Seth Bullock. United States marshal for
South Dakota At the present time Albert
T. Potter. designated as the acting head
OF the service, seems to be the leading can
didate, but there are persistent rurnors that
the President may decide that new man
might the better reorganize the service
Afr. Bullock is IN many respects as close
a friend of eX-President Roosevelt as is
Mr.. Pinchot. He was once the chief of
the forest rangers in the Black Hills and
is familiar with forestry. He has been
designated for reappontment as marshal
for South Dakota. His term expires this

QUARREL ON POTASH.
America Deeply Interested IN
German Measure.
TFron The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Jan. 11-The American
Ambassador to Germany has been directed
ny the State Department to express to the
Foreign Office the interest of this govern
ment in the bill recently introduced in
the Bundesrath for an export duty on pot
ash, on the ground that il will nullify
contracts entered into by German pro-
ducers with American importers and may
have an effect On present maximum and
minimum tariff negotiations between the
two countries
The question has been awaiting adjust
ment ever since the dissolution of the
German potash syndicate, last summer, and
has now reached q stage at which the
State Department feels itself justified IN
communicating its interest to the German
Foreign ofhce. Germany has a natural
monopoly OF potash mines, and Americans
as well as others, are obliged to look to
that country for their supply. which en-
ters largely into the manufacture of fer
tilizers. On the dissolution Of the syn
dicate number Of American firms made
contracts last summer with individual
mine owners for considerable supply Of
potash.
Nearly half billion dollars worth of
trade is the stake in the game of diplo-
macy now in progress between America
and Germany, and the issue will be known
within a month. On February Z. in ac-
cordance with the notice given to Germany
last April by the State Department, the
reciprocity arrangement made under the
terms Of the Dingiey act with Germany
will expire, and simultaneously the general
tariff rates of that country will apply to all
imports from America, unless in the short
period of time intervening Secretary Knox
and the German Ambassador shall be able
70 reach a mutually satisfactory under
standing.
Some well informed persons believe that
TINS understanding is beyond attainment
an that II will be only under the stress of
a bitter and costly struggle that the two
nations can compose their differences and
restore their trade TO normal conditions.
Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE directorate of the
potash syndicate has adopted a resolution
declining to continue further negotia tions
with the American interests at New York.
The directorate has also advised the Ger
man delegates to return home
