ATLANTIC CITY Is
PARADERS' MECCA
Largest Crowd In History Throng the
Boardwalk During Afternoon
Cafes Do Big Business.

ATLANTIC CITY. y. J., March 23-
Visitors from all parts OF the country
crowded the boardwalk here today for
the annual Easter parade. Furs as
well as the latest creations in gowns
and millinery were in evidence on the
promenaders and the rolling chair
contingent. The latter were pushed
along in seemingly endless procession
on each side of the board esplanade
while the intervening space was filled
with pedestrians
Despite the warning issue last week
by the newly appointed public prose
cutOr that violations Of the excise
laws would be prosecuted. many sa-
loon and cafe proprietors Took a
chance and did lively business. In
the forenoon when the parade was at
It's height numerous cafes were closed
and the visitors seeking liquid re-
freshments were obliged 10 resort 10
side doors and club entrances. Later
ln the day. however, bars that were

loon and cafe owners were arrested
last season for Sunday selling and

WILSON SORRY
THAT M'COMBS
DECLINED POST
President Gives His Views OF the
calibre Of Man Needed for
Foreign Posts.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-Presi-
dent Wilson tonight reluctantly as.
sented to the expressed determination
OF Chairman McCombs. of the nation
al Democratic committee. to decline
the profferec French Enthusiastically.
In statement expressing his high re-
gard for Mr.. McCombs. the President
declared that the diplomatic service
OF the United States is unnecessarily
hampered by the fact that only men
who havo time and means to leave
their business find themselves able to
serve the government abroad. The
Presidents statement follows:
Il am very sorry. indeed. that Mr..
McCombs cannot accept the appoint
ment TO France. / was particularly
anxious that he should. My admira-
tton for his abilities, my knowledge OF
his singular capacity tor grasping
complex situations, my confidence in
his tact and resourcefulnesy. as well
as my affection for him. and the inti-
mate relations that OF course exist
between US, combine to make my dis
appointment very great !nIeed. But
|, OF course, appreciate the force OF
tire reasons ne gives. He would ha "a
accepted at an unreasonable sacrifice
and l could not further press the offer
upon him.
1T Is great pity that the country
has to ask such sacrifices OF those
who are invited 20 serve il abroad
q service which every year becomes
more exacting and more important.
The sacrifice OF time, OF means and
OF opportunity at home is very serious
for any but men OF large means and
leisure. and the diplomatic service is
unnecessarily hampered."
Important Ports to Be Filled.
Secretary of State Bryan is due
back in Washington from his western
trip on Wednesday, The President
Is expected to be ready to take ND
with him the appointment OF men TO

Of Washington children on the White

SESSION
OF CONGRESS TO
Be PROLONGED
Expected That Wilson Will Insert
Currency and Other Legis-
tive Matters in Call.

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. March 23.-
Democrats expressed the view tonight
that the extra session of Congress
would be prolonged affair. This was
on the assumption that President VIII
son would recommend to Congress
consideration of the currency ques-
ton. as well as perhaps other matters
OF pressing Importance insofar as
their discussion would not interfere
with the right OF way of tariff re-
vision. The President has indicated
within the past day or two that he
will .rge other needed legislation
when the tariff Is out OF the way
Consideration OF currency and other
questions might carry the session well
into the autumn.
Democratic Leader Underwood Is
known TO believe that the tariff would
be disposed of in the House by May
|. and by both houses by July I.
Speaker Clark tonight said that IL
only the tariff were taken up Con
gress could adjourn the middle OF Au-
gust. while other leaders predicted
that tariff revision would be ready for
the presidential approval by August
lst
IF the President should send in a
message recommending action on 9th
er important matters other than the
tariff" said the speaker. Il have no
sort of doubt that Congress would
take W these matters. \ good many
other members believe that the extra
session should be confined to the tar
III. II the three special sessions called
TO revise the tariff. in which | have
served. the work was confined largely
TO the tariff. barring such routine mat
ters as naturally come up"
The Income Tax.
The big problem with which the
House ways and means committee ma
jority is now wrestling is the income
tax. Three points especially are be
ing considered. the amount OF Income
exemptions. the rate OF tax. including
question OF graduation or straight tax
and collection. The Wilson act OF
1898 the last Democratic tariff. made
$4,000 as the minimum taxable in
come. which some OF the revisionists
argued tonight was really equal TO
s.. 900 or $4,000 under present living
cost conditions.
The committee majority Is working
with a Dummy" percentage rate. and
the final result will hinge on these cal
culatlons and one the report yet TO be
the fourteen dutiable schedules. The
question OF collection source-wheth-
or from the employer instead of di-
rectiy from the salaried man-is being
carefully studied out.
