PRESIDENT FIRM
AGAINST RECESS
Opposed to Delay in Cur.
rency Legislation.
NO DEALS With MINORITY
Believes Democrats Should Go Ahead
and Carry Out Platform Pledges
and Not Agree to Any Trades With
the Republicans.


Washington, Aug. 15.-President
Wilson informed Democratic senators
that he is opposed unalterably to any
recess of the senate between the time
the tariff bill passed and currency is
taken up.
He made IL plain that he believes
II the duty of the Democratic party
not to hesitate in its program of leg
islative reform, but to dispose of the
tariff and currency during the present
session of congress, so that the De.
cember session may take up promptly
antitrust and other important legisla.
ton carrying out platform pledges.
Secretary Tumulty was in touch
with most of the Democratic senators
and came to the conclusion that a
substantial majority was In favor oi
immediate legislation and no recess
Incidentally the president took a
strong position on the question of leg
islative agreements between Demo
Gratis and Republicans in congress
He believes that the Democrats, as
the dominant party, should proceed
with determination and not trade
with the minority.
The fact that Republican senators
informally had agreed to speed up
consideration of the tariff bill If a re-
cess were assured after it's passage
prompted the president to urge that
business throughout the country de-
manded early action on the tariff re.
gardless of whether any vacation or
recess was promised In return.

ing steamers bring details of the re-
cent volcanic eruptions on the island
Of kmbrym, in the New Hebrides
group. in which 500 natives lost their
lives.
Witnesses Of the disturbance de-
scribe it as having been so sudden
and violent that they expected to see
the whole western side of the island
disappear.
With a terrific roar, followed by a
rapid succession of artillerylike deto-
nations, all the craters of the volcano
entered into full capacity, spouting
flames and lava and throwing out
huge boulders.
Great streams of lava rushed down
the slopes, cutting off the villagers
from escape.

Chief John Grass Outlines Situation
to Governor Hanna. &a}

Mandan, N. D., Dec. 23.-John
Grass, chief of the Sioux tribe on the
Standing Rock Indian reservation, de-
MES in letter to Governor L. B.
Hanna that there is any real suffering
or possibility of starvation among
the Indians of that reservation.
Chief Grass admits there may be
a few isolated instances of real want,
but in the main he contends that the
reds are in fairly good condition. He
also asserts that the Indian agency
in charge of the reservation is ready
to handle any cases of want. In his
letter he asks the governor to correct
the impression that there is extensive
want among the Indians.
DR.. A. McBeede, who has discussed
the situation among the Indians, is
heading q movement for the estab'
lishment of the Indians on an entirely
free and independent basis. :, NJ J.,

PHONE MERGER PREVENTED
Bell Agreement With Government
DESTROYS Sioux Falls Plan.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 23.-Eforts
were made in the fall to consolidate
the Northwestern and the New State
telephone systems in Sioux Falls, but
a protest made to the state board OF
railroad commissioners, which has
jurisdiction over telephone companies
having lines and exchanges in the
state, caused a suspension of activi-
ties Now, however, all hope Of the
consolidation has gone glimmering as
a result of the agreement reached
between the attorney general of the
United States and the Bell telephone
interests, which virtually prohibits
the Bell interests from absorbing in
dependent concerns and dissolving
mergers that had not already been
brought to a point where former in
dependent companies have entirely
lost their identity as independent con-
Germs. ,.<s

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

though an organization of several
years standing, is by no means
out of date. Its assistance is call
ed for at every high school event,
and is still, as In the past, succeed
ing in enlivening and improving
these programs by supplying well
come variety of numbers on pro-
grams which would otherwise be
mostly literary in character. Sew
eral members Of the orchestra have
now had a year or two of training,
which fact raises the standard of
work done. Among the new men,
| bersalso, however, are found some
who are proving themselves good
musicians. Much credit is due to
the faithful and excellent direction
of Miss Connolly, who supervises
| this popular phase of our high
school activities.
The orchestra this year consists
| of the following:
Leader-Miss Ruth Connolly.
Violin-Gertrude Kessel. Vira
Kuntz, Gladys Johnson, John Ev-
ans, Marie Blackburn.
Cornet-Donald Dunn, Willard
Todd. 49,.
Clarinet-George Robertson. '-
Traps-Will Watts. '. f'-
| The foot ball season of 1913 was
very successful financially. After
| buying several new suits, we clear
ed over $40. The banquet that was
given the boys did not take much
away from this, as almost every
thing was donated by the girls.
We wish to thank many of the
people Of the town who were SC
kind as to give us the use Of their
Automobiles when we jOurneyed to
other towns. Many probably would
like to know what is to be done
with the money that is on hand.
We wish to state that this is our nest
egg for the season of 1914, and we
have hopes that at the end of that
year we will have more than one
hundred dollars.
| The Girls Glee club of the high
school has been doing very good
work since their organization this
fall. Their success has been par
ticularly gratifying because of the
fact that there was no glee club
last year and therefore no NUCLEUS
around which to build. The mem.
bers Of the club are interested in
their work and are faithful in at
tendance at practice, which occurs
after school on certain days of the
week. They have by this time pre-
lpared themselves to sing quite {
