WASHINGTON, d. c.. April s.
President Wilson stood on the speak
er's rostrum in the hall of the House
today and personally read his first
message to Congress. the first pres!-
dent since John Adams to exercise
that privilege. The renewal Of Gus J.
tom century abandoned and now
surrounded by such wide differences
of ophlion among members Of Con-
gress itself attracted to the capltof
an assemblage necessarily less in
numbers but certainly no less dis
tinguished than the company which
attended the presidents Inaugural
ton.
Notable Assemblage.
The galleries were packed with
national figures, Mrs. Wilson and
her three daughters and the women
of the cabinet being prominent
among them. The diplomatic gall
lery contained a representative of ey-
cry nation with an envoy here. Dis
tinguished public men who have re-
ceived the thanks OF Congress and
were therefore entitled to be on the
floor of the House, ayailed. them
selves of the, right Conspicuous
among them was Admiral Dewey. A
moving picture machine was install
ed to preserve record of the his
toric event.
Mr.. Wilson slipped away from
the White House, accompanied only
by his secretary and one secret SER
vice man and on arriving at theeea
itol was escorted to the rostru:n in
the House where Speaker Clark sat
on one side and Vice President Mar
shall at the other.
The president, speaking with his
usual clarity of tone. and notable
diction, read his message. while the
company gave the closest attention.
President a Person.
Il am very glad indeed to have
this opportunity to address the two
houses directly and to verify for my
self the impression that the presi-
dent of the United States is a person
not a mere department of the gov
eminent, hailiag Congress from
some isolated island or Jealous
power, sending messages, not speak
ing naturally and with IS voice, that
he is human being trying to coop
crate with other human oelng in a
common service. After this peas
ant experience l shall feel quite nor
NAL in our dealing with che an
otner,' said the president a prefac
to his message, which he read as fol-
lows:
81 have called the Congress together
in extraordinary session because a
duty was laid upon this party now in
power at the recent elections which
III ought 10 perform promptly, in order
that the burden carried by the people
under existing law may be lightened
as soon as possible and in order, also,
that the business interests of the
country may not be kept too long in

is one wherein the physically weak

ROWING CLUBS SCARCE
The benefits OF rowing are not gen.
orally known. and If they were there
would be a dozen or more rowing
clubs around San Francisco Bay. where
today there are only four. These four
clubs-the Dolphins. Alameda. Ariel
and South Ends-have a hard strug-

represent them in the various events
