has heretofore been attributed to the

has como TO light in the discovery or
the shipment OF at least eight carloads
or ammunition and implements from a
point In New Jersey to New Orleans
within the past fifty days.
The fact that these shipments were

taDlished, leading TO the suspicion that
the real destination was one of the
Gulf ports between this city and Mo-

quest-Many Disapprove

Washington. D. c., January 3.-Dem-
ocratic Leader Oscar W. Underwood's
decision not to attend the Jackson Day
banquet here next Monday night. which
became known day immediately al
ter the announcement that the manag-
Ing committee had given 10 William
Jennings Bryan, at his own request,
TIC last place on the speaking program
threw Democrats in Congress Into n
Hurry.
MIR. Underwood declared he wouiu
not attend the banquet because OF his
recent attack CT Threatened appendi-
citis. His physician, he said. had or
dercd him to attend 10 banquets and
particularly 10 make no speeches or do
anything requiring unusual exertion.
II win not have any speech to be read
at the dinner" added Mr.. Underwood
IF We're there to make speech
J would desire to deliver ii myself"
Nevertheless. the absence of the ma
jority leader of the House from a ma
ttonai Democratic affair at which other
leaders of the party and men who are
mentioned as candidates for the presi-
dental nomination are TO speak aroused
discussion, particularly in connection
with the so-callcd break between Bryan
and Underwood.
Mr.. Underwood's letter to the man
aging committee announcing he would
not attend was sent after IL became
known that Bryan was TO speak last.
The arrangement did not meet the APP
prevail of many leaders, but 1t VIII
stand. Some of Mr.. Underwood s
friends pointed out that Mr. Bryan,
speaking last on the program, would be
In position of decided advantage TO
make declarations which would OF ne
cessity remain unanswered, and that
such contingency was to be avoided
Others said Mr.. Underwood did not
wish TO enter an oratorical contest with
Mr. Bryan.
The controversy between Mr.. Bryan
and Leader Underwood, which dcvel-
opcd over tho wooden schedule. the sc
cret caucus and party affairs at tho
specia! session of Congress last year.
was recently renewed when Mr.. Bryan
practically referred to Mr.. underwood
as Wall Streets choice for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination.
Mr.. Underwood never has denied that
his political Views differ much from
Mr.. Bryan's. but many OF Mr.. Under
woods friends recently have declared
that he has no hesitancy In expressing
himself concerning Mr.. Bryans position.
Mr.. Underwood had a conference with
Speaker Clark to-day, but If the Jack
son Day affair was discussed that fact
was not announced.

Chinese to Adopt Western Calendar

r HE adoption of the western cal
j endar was among the many
changes ordered in decree issued by
the cabinet in China, according to ad-
vices transmitted to the state depart
ment through the Chinese charge
d'affaires In this city. The message
also confirms the reported retirement
of the prince regent and his return to
the order of imperial princes, and the
appointment of Sht-Hsu and Hsu Shin
Chang as guardians OF the emperor.
The message says that Chow Tszchi
has been appointed assistant minister
Of finance. The department was also
informed that by decree issued Chi
nese subjects are permitted to cut on
their cues.
When the Chinese government or
dered that the western method OF
reckoning months and years be adopt
ed. the date jumped from the 18th day
of the tenth month to the third year
OF Hsuantung to the 9th day OF the
eleventh month of the year 1911 A. ID.
1t was long jump. apparently, and
in reality the change to the use OF the
Gregorian calendar, used by most OF
the great nations Of the world, was q
significant step In China's advance to-
ward modern civilization.
For centuries 1t has been the GUS
tom in China to reckon the days OF
