President Signs Sundry Bill

On the same day, Monday, that
de went before congress on the
money issue, President Wilson
signed the much discussed sundry
civil appropriation bill, containing
the rider exempting the organi-
cations of laborers of farmers
from prosecution under the pro-
vision granting $500, 900 for the
execution Of the Sherman anti
trust law. But, although signing
the bill as a whole on the theory
that it contained urgent appro-
priations for the public service,
the president appended a note to
the bill, declaring that he would
have vetoed the exemption clause
if he could without defeating the
bill as a whole. He character
lied the exemption as 'unjusti-
fable in character and principle, /"
but pointed out that the depart
ment of justice had other funds
with which to enforce the anti
trust law if necessary. This is
the provision which was the cause
of the veto of the bill by Presi-
dent Taft.

BENJAMIN CHAPLIN

He didn't come. Probably six
hundred people were disappointed
that he didn't, but it could not be
helped. At noon Tuesday Prof.
Ames was called to the phone to
answer call from Duluth. The
call was from Mr.. Chaplin, whose
train, three hours late into that city,
had left him stranded there so far
as connections with the train he
should have taken to reach this
place in time was concerned. The
only thing left to do was to take a
train leaving Duluth at 80 and due
in St. Paul at GAS, hoping to catch
the train leaving ST. Paul for Hud-
son at 200, and have an automobile
meet that train at Hudson at 7:45.
The automobile met the train, but il
did not meet MIR. Chaplin. The
train from Duluth was fifteen min
utes late into St. Paul, and the train
for Hudson left the Union depot as
the other was coming to standstill,
and Mr.. Chaplin missed his connec-
ton by trains length. In CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Ames over the tele-
phone, he said that he will fill the
engagement here, if it is the desire
of the people, if he has to come from
New York to do so. His earliest
open dates are April 20 and 20, and
tentative agreement was made that
he will come here for the latter,
Monday, April 28 Full announce
ment will be made as soon as pos
sible, which doubtless will be next
week. Meantime, hold on to your
tickets. The management is as bad
ly disappointed at the turn Of affairs
as anyone, but it was something that
was unavoidable.
