lutely false and without a shred of
truth" were the expressions used by
President Wilson today in positive
and unqualified denial Of reports that
the democratic currency leaders were
in serious disagreement over the cur
rency reform program. The president
made his statement to newspapermen
called to his office at his request.
He broke his established custom of
talking with the correspondents only
at certain periods, in order to refute
the widespread published reports that
members were at odds over the cur
rency plan. The president specifical-
ly denied that Secretary Bryan pro-
tested against any features Of the
proposed administration measure. The
currency measure will probably be
presented to congress next Monday,
he stated, but he made it clear that
copies of the bill are to be given to
the senate this week probably.
The president declared that he
looked confidently for support of his
measure from the republicans and
wished the minority to be fully ad-
vised of the bill to avoid any charge
or appearance that he was cram.

The president reiterated with empha
sis at the close of the interview thai
he, his entire cabinet and all the dem

/ in entire harmony and accord on the
measure. He said he would confer
with Senator Kern, democratic leader
in the senate and Majority Leader
Underwood of the house to arrange
for the proposed formal launching of
the currency bill next Monday.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1S.-The
telephone crisis is expected today of
the operators Of the Southwestern
(BelD Telephone and Telegraph Co.,
when it will be ascertained whether
the girls that worked yesterday and
sent to their homes in automobiles,
will return to the exchanges.
The telephone company has several
hundred out of town women housed
in leading downtown hotels ready to
take the positions of the striking
operators. The girls on strike de-
clare that the women imported are
unfamiliar with the exchange boards,
and will be of little service to the
company. The telephone officials deny
this. They state the strike breakers
are capable of giving perfect service.
| The operators will meet this morn
Ing to arrange for a great street
demonstration. The girls favor a
street parade, reinforced by represent
atives from every labor union in the
city.
About 100 operators arrived In the
city Wednesday morning from Chicago
and Kansas City to take the places
! of strikers.
Organizers of the operators union
said Wednesday morning that reports
indicated that about 10 per cent Of
the girls who worked Tuesday hat
Joined the strikers and that a tota
sIof about 300 girls now were striking
4 Officials of the companies at / o'clocl
had made no statement of the number
of operators who had quit but late
Tuesday admitted a total of eighty

| Statements made by union pickets
about the exchanges, were that many
girls had failed to report and that
the company was bringing those

alleged plot of the sugar projections

which would force congress to defeat
any free sugar measure.
I'VE want the country to get the
full significance of these letters said
Senator Reed today. I'VE want them
to know how these sugar people,
using every weapon, backed by limit
less wealth have been fighting to de-
feat free sugar. They have swayed
public opinion by using the press in
the most daring manner; they have
conducted country wide campaign
bringing influence to bear on sena-
tors and representatives and they
have enlisted aid of great railroads to
aid them in getting favorable congress
sional action on the free sugar sched-
ule."
The correspondence indicated that
the moving spirit in the organization
and the prime mover in the attempt
to purchase an interest in the Chi

G. G. Hamlin, nephew of Senator
Clark, OF Wyoming, would make the

cause of his excellent connections

Almost Immediately after the hear

was started by John w. Yerkes, who
announced himself as attorney for
Henry T. oxnard and Truman G.
Palmer to prevent further reading OF
correspondence. He insisted that the
committee was exceeding Its right In
reading letters written prior to the
sitting of the committee and made
long argument in support of his con

Two more communications however
were spread on the record before
Yerkes could object. In one of these
dated July Is, 1906, there were con-
gratulations to Truman G. Palmer for
having Aaron Cove, Great Western

Paint and Cabin creek regions for
more than year, will be transferred
to Washington. Three members OF
the subcommittee, Senators Swanson,
Kenyon and MARITIME, will leave here
late today and the inquiry will be
completed in the capitol. The near

Operator Quinn Morton and the at.

unionize the region was the real

the other members. Senator Kenyon

The Art of

There is nothing that holsters

confidence like the feeling of

most men will approach any

will often quail before the OBJ

To dress well and obtain this
feeling Of confidence is an art.
To accomplish It on limited
income requires unceasing vigi-
lance. Carefulness in expendi-
ture obtains infinitely better
results than recklessness. Look
before you buy" should be the
motto Of every thrifty man and

The kind Of looking that
