has been completed by DR.. WI Ting
Fang. the minister OF justice In the
Republican cabinet. and now awaits
the approval OF the senate at Nanlxing
The proclamation provides for a presi-
Dental term OF four years. but the
senate may make the first term only
four years. It Is thought that a COM
promise may be reached on the ques-
ton of the future capital OF China.
President Sun Vat Sen, however. as
serts positively that Marking win be
selected. although he admits that an
agreement may be made to keep Picking
Professionally as the nominal capital.
Desultry outpost fighting continues
in many places, but the reports as to

MONEY TRUST ACTION
NOT A REAL SHOW DOWN
RY RALPH SMITH.

3 WASHINGTON. Feb. 12--For several
months there has been quiet talk about
investigating the Office of the comptrol-
Ter of the currency, and also taking a
peep into the alleged influence of certain
big banks in New York at the treasury
department.
While leader Oscar Underwood and
his friends have sought to make politi-
cal capital over the action of the DEM
ocratic caucus in turning down Bryan's
demand for an investigation OF the
Money trust" the fact remains that
Underwood's support in the caucus came
not from Democrats, who favor his nom
ination by the Democratic party
The attitude of the Democrats Of the
rules committee proves this fact beyond
question.
Representative Henry, of Texas, who
led the fight for the investigation, is
chairman of this committee. His eff
forts to report the. Money trust" res
olution were checked by four Democrats,
not one Of whom thinks Underwood
available for the Democratic nomination.
Representative Hardwick, of Georgia,
led the fight against Henry in the
rules committee. and Hardwick is out
spoken in his advocacy OF Woodrow
wilson's nomination. Representative
Garrett, Of Tennessee, another member
of the rules committee, who opposed
Henry, is for Woodrow Wilson. Repre-
sentative Pou, of North Carolina, still
another member Of this committee
against the Investigation, is for Wilson
and Representative Denver of Ohio is a
Harmon Democrat.
Presidential politics did not enter into
the matter at ALL and the efforts Of the
friends of leader Underwood and Speak
er Clark to make capital out of the eau
Gus action is silly. r
