ioent Wilson During White
House Ceremony.

Washington, D. C.-Surrounded by
the leaders of a united Democracy,
President Wilson signed the Under

O'Clock at night at the White House.

to customs collectors throughout the
country by the treasury department.

Democratic tariff revision in MANY

A happy group of legislators, mem
bers of the cabinet, and friends en-
circled the President as he smilingly
sat down, slowly affixed his signature
with two gold pens. He presented to
Representative Underwood the pen
that had written the word Woodrow"
and the one which had completed his
name to Senator Simmons, both of
whom bowed their appreciation
In Impressive silence the President
delivered, in an easy natural tone. an
extemporaneous speech that brought
prolonged applause.

A REVOLT
PRESIDENT WILSON WORRIED BY
THE ACTION OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC REBELS.
HOLDING up CURRENCY BILL
Conference on the Measure Held at
the White House-Many Sena-
tors and Representatives
Working for Delay.

Washington.-Presid Wilson is
facing the first real crisis of his ad-
ministration. 1t has been demon
strated to the satisfaction of admins
tration leaders that the President has
a determined revolt on his hands in
the form of Democratic members of
Congress who want to quit work for
the rest of the year regardless of the
effect of their action on the White
House currency program. The Presi-
dent himself it is understood, realizes
that the situation is acute.
With the position of the President
well understood, the machinery of the
House was brought to an absolute
standstill because of the lack of
quorum.
The situation was almost as tense on
the Senate side. 1t required forty min
utes to get a bare quroum of forty
eight, and this represented. it was
stated, eevry senator now in Washing
ton When a quorum finally was OBJ
tanned the Senate promptly adjourned
until Thursday.
Differences among the members of
the Senate banking and currency COM
mittee indicate that a report on the
currency bill is more in doubt than it
has been at any time since the House
passed the measure and sent it to the
Senate More than half the members
of Congress who could not be reached
are Democrats. What makes the situa-
ton more annoying to the administra-
ton is the fact that the urgent De-
ficiency bill is pending in the House.
and delay in acting on it severely is
hampering the work of the government
departments. provision in the De-
ffciency bill relating to civil service
also Threatens to increase the posi-
bility of a break between Congress and
the White House.
President Pro Tenn Clark of the Sen
ate; Kern, majority leader; Lewis,
Democratic whip; Chairman Owen of
the banking and currency committee.
and Senator Ollie James of Kentucky
were called to the White House to dis
cuss the situation. After the confer
ences it became apparent that meas
ures were to be taken to get the Demo-
Gratis of the Senate behind the Cur
rency bill party measure.
The White House took the attitude
that the determination of the Senate
banking and currency committee to
conclude its hearings ION or before
October 25," showed that the Repub-
icans on the committee. with the aid
of two or three Democrats opposed to
the bill. were controlling the situation
and that the Democratic majority
should take steps at once to demon
strate its responsibility for legislation

WILSON PLANS TRUST LAWS
President Confers With Senator
Newiands Regarding Action
at December Session.

Washington--A start has been
made by President Wilson on his anti
trust program for the December ses-
sion of Congress. He had long pre-
liminary conference with Senator
Newlands of Nevada, chairman of the
interstate commerce committee,
which handles trust legislation in the
Senate.
The President expects to confer.
also, in the near future. with Repre-
sentative Clayton. chairman of the
House judiciary committee, as we'll as
with other members of the two con-
gressional committees which will be
directly in charge of the legislation.
Senator Newlands said after the con-
ference that he expected the Presi-
dent to transmit some recommends
tions to his committee early in the
December session.

ATHLETICS WON THE FIRST
New York Giants Were OutpIayed in
All Departments by American
League Champions.

New York.-Outhitting and outfield-
ing the New York Giants in the open
ing game of the worlds series, the
Philadelphia Athletics defeated the
National League representative at the
Polo Grounds, to 4. So complete
was the supremacy of the American
League champions in the initial con-
test that the victory appeared to be
but a continuation of the series of
1911, when the Athletics won the title
of that year from the Giants by four
games out of six. AS if to heighten
the illusion, there were some feature
plays that might have been repro
duced, SO closely did they resemble
those of twenty-four months ago
The game was witnessed by a gath
ering of spectators that taxed the
capacity of the New York club sta
dunn and swelIed the Golfers of those
financially interested to the extent of
more than $4,000. The exact number
of fans who paid admissions to the
stands was 36,291 and the days re-
ceipts amounted to $75,255.

MONEY BILL NOW
WITH TARIFF OUT OF THE WAY,
CONGRESS WILL NOW TURN
TO CURRENCY.
LONG DELAY is PROBABLE
Members of the Committee Have
Many Different Views on Cur
rency, But the President
Seems Confident.

Neutrality-suspicious. WASHINGTON
relieved of the long drawn out con-
sideration of the tariff, will focus it's
attention on the second of the Demo
cratic reform misunderstanding and
currency legislation.
Though the administration currency
bill easily passed the House, its path
way in the Senate is admittedly full
of obstacles. At present the Senate
banking committee has not yet begun
consideration of the bill, intending for
at least ten days more to hear promi-
nent bankers and finance experts
Predictions at the capital are general
that for a month thereafter the Senate
committee will be at work on the
measure, considering numerous
amendments
While there was unanimity of
opinion on the principle tariff re-
vision, widely divergent views are
held by Democratic senators on bank
ing reform. A strong desire for a
single bank with branches under gov
eminent control, instea1 of a regional
reserve system of banks, has made it's
appearance in the informal discussion.
Other changes of a far reaching char
acter are being suggested, and gen
orally it is regarded as doubtful if a
bill satisfactory to the banking COM
mittee can reach the floor of the Sen
ate before the middle of November
At the White House there is a conf
dence that the bill will be passed this
session or be placed on the statute
books, at any rate, before the first of
the year
The president wants thorough con-
sideration of the currency bill and
any Improvement the Senate can
make upon the measure as passed by
the House will be welcomed. His dis
position, however, is to oppose
strongly any undue delay, for he be-
lieves- prompt revision of the banking
and currency system is necessary to
meet the commercial expansion which
he expects will follow the operation
of the new tariff.
President Wilson believes q general
! decrease in the cost of living that will
be felt by the rank and file of the
country is not dependent alone On tar
Tiff revision, but upon prompt reform
of the nations monetary system as
well as careful amendment of the
antitrust laws

The latest Paris fashions are no
doubt interesting to the women be-
cause they can discern in every de-
tail a gentle purpose. To them every
picture of fashion has some inter
esting detail But to men they all
look alike. There is no details about
them, no belts, no fringe, no lace, no
braids, no loops. no ribbons. and none
of the particulars that women notice
with deep interest. To a man there is
no difference in the fashion from day
to day or week to week, but in the
course of months or years he may no
tice the difference in the general from.
For instance, he will notice that the
full skirt has departed and buttoning
up the back has arrived, but the lat
ter, of course, is not to be attributed
to his keenness of observation. These
daily glimpses of the latest from Paris
suggest the wide difference between
the mans and the woman's world A
man would see more interest in fish
ing tackle than in the handsomest
gown from Paris; but to a woman the
latter would be a world of delight
ful curiosity, while she would turn
with disgust from the tackle and all
the fish it caught.
