"As one Of the misfortunes of the

There will be no direct proof of an
engagement between DR.. Craig and DR..

be overwhelming in that direction. She
made trip to New York and bought
articles in contemplation Of marriage
She made 1t known to friends that she
had a love affair with a man who was
of violent disposition and ungovern-
able temper. DIR. Craig was that char
acter of man. There came a time lust
before DIR Knabe's death when circum-
stances indicated that she discovered
DR.. Craig's intention to break his ap-
parent engagement to marry her. He
began associating with another woman
and this impressed DR.. Knabe that he
intended to marry the other woman.
Circumstances will point unmistak-
ably to Craig's affection for DR.. Knabe
at a time before her DEATH" continued
Inman.

into her windows in the night time.
Suggestion has been made by the de-

show that DR.. Knabe's life was hope
full and cheerful, that she was in love
with her work and gave no manifesto
tions Of despondency.''

Washington, Dec. Congress to-
day settled down to the second stage
of what promised to be the longest
continuous session in it's history The
regular December session following
without a break upon the heels OF the
long extra session that has run since
April Z, brought to tired lawmakers
an outlook for steady work for many
months
There was little formality about the
ushering in of the new congress at
noon. It's advent was signalized by
the fall of the gavel in each house,
with the announcement of the pre-
siding officer that the second session
of the sixty third congress had be-
gun.
A widespread demand for tickets for
the house gallery for tomorrow's ses-
sion indicated the interest that cen
ters about President Wilson'S reap
pearance at the capitol to deliver a
political address. The president will
read his first general message to con-
gress at a. joint session of the two
houses at O'Clock tomorrow and it is
expected he will touch upon many OF
the problems to be taken UP at the.
new session.
The senate practically merged the
old session into the new one. Dem
: aocratfc leaders were prepared to push
the currency measure forward and to
hold the senate in daily sessions from
10 o'clock in the morning until IL
o'clock at night until it is disposed Of
Meanwhile the house will start work
upon the great appropriation bills car
rying more than 81, 900, 900 900 of funds
for the needs Of the government dur
ing the year that begins next July.
ESTIMATES PRESENTED.
The annual estimates made by the
treasury department were presented to
the house when it assembled at noon.
Preliminary work by the appropria-
tions committees has brought several
OF the supply bills near completion
Democratic members of the senate
worked all day yesterday to complete
their agreement on the currency bill
so that the measure might be pushed
for immediate consideration today.
Senate members hope by holding the
senate to long hours the bill may be
passed in time to permit short re-
cess at the holidays If it has not
been acted upon the senate will fore
go all vacation except on Christmas
day.
When the senate met, democratic
leaders had agreed that the currency
subject would not be taken up before
noon.
The extra session terminated in the
senate with the Introduction of bills
and resolutions and of an executive
session to confirm some OF President
wilson's nominations
Ten postmasters at small points
were the only ones confirmed and the
senate recessed until 11:55 o'clock.
