There was q hot time In the old

But-ald the but 10 spelled with Q cap

Many a student will wake this Sab

No saloons were wrecked No hotels.

MORE HEARINGS In
MONEY TRUST CASE
Representative Pujo to Resume In
Vestigation on or About
November r20.

Representative Arsene Pujo. OF Louis
| lana, chairman of the Money Trust
Committee, will arrive here to-day to
make arrangements for the public
hearings of the Money Trust case which
will be resumed on or about November
%. On November 20 the full committee
will meet Chairman Pujo, and the pro-
gramme for the winter will be arranged.
Representative Carter Glass, of Virginia,
who is chairman of committee that is
working in conjunction with the Money
Trust committee to frame legislation in
amendment of the banking and currency
laws, is here. He will have a confer
ence with Chairman PujO to-day. Mr..
Glass had long talk with w. J. Bryan
relative to the plans of the Democrats
TO overhaul the banking and currency
laws. 1t is the understanding that Mr.
Bryan will submit to Chairman Glass
and his associates a statement setting
forth mis- views in regard to proposed
modihCa tions of the banking and curren-
Cy laws.
No attempt will be made by the
Democrats to pass a banking and cur
rency bill at the special session that
will be called in April by President
Wilson. There is possibility. however,
ated with him may present a measure
expressive of their views with a view
to providing a basis for a public duscus-
sion OF the question. The indications
are, however, that tine final report of the
Glass committee. will not be completed
until the Sixty-third Congress assemblies
in December of next year.
There is good reason to believe that
no effort will be made by Chairman
PujO and his associates to complete the
Money Trust inquiry this winter. 1t is
pointed out by Democrats that it took
the Stanley special committee sixteen
months to investigate the affairs OF 4
single concern-the United States Steel
Corporation. The Pujo committee is
probing the affairs of practically every
big financial institution in the United
States and those responsible declare that
it will be impossible to finish the task
for many months to come.

With the close of the week came the
end of the annual flower show given by
William F. GUIDE, florist. 1t was the
most successful in the history OF the
establishment, and during the week
thousands of people called at the con-
servatory to admire the glorious flow
ers on show.
The salesrooms and conservatory
were a blaze of color, of every shade
and tint, from the most delicate lily
Of the valley to the most vivid rose.
There were chrysanthemums, roses, or
chids, and all of the popular favorites
that may always be counted on to
draw admiring "oh's" and abs" from
flower lovers, and besides there were
many varieties Of rare plants and
blooms seldom seen in this latitude.
All during the week there was mu-
sic. The rooms were decorated with
screens and bowers of flowers, through
which glinted tiny electric bulbs. One
of the features of the programme was
the German nightingales, pleasing
auxiliary to thsSFhusic. and a novelty
in Washington. The same scheme of
decoration had been carried out in the
conservatory to the rear, and on every
hand were the American Beauty roses
for which GUIDE is noted.
One of the novelty flowers shown
was the Lorraine begonia, the ideal
Christmas plant. in full bloom. Then
there was the Alpine violet, the snap
dragon in colors, and the lily of the
valley. AS a special feature, there
were on show pink roses in nine sepa-
rate and distinct shades. 1t is said by
authorities that no florist in the East
can approach this display of roses.
The new varieties of roses shown
were The Lady HelHngdOn" and the
"Arion Ward" both of the new orange
yellow type. There was also an ex-
quisite display OF orchids. fashions IA
vorite Palms of unusual size and va
riety were everywhere.
