WEDDING CAKE is
CAUSE FOR GRIEF

Washington. D. c.. Nov. 24.-Numer-
Gus requests for a piece of Jessie Will
sons wedding cake, caused the issue
at h White House today of a state
ment describing the size of the cake
as too small to gratify the desires of
the public. The statement says:
"On of the and
eXtravagant statements as to the size
and cost of the cake which has been
baked for the wedding Of Miss Jessie
Wilson. Mrs. Wilson wishes it stated
that the cak is nine inches high and
% inches in diameter. 1t is the usual
kind of brides cake and is not at all
elaborate"
Preparations for the wedding con-
tinue. The Rev. John Nevin Sayre, a
brother of the groom-to-be, arrived
here today from Germany on his way
back from missionary work in China.
The Rev. Mr.. Sayre will assist the
Rev. DR.. Sylvester w. Beach, of Prince
ton, N. J., at the wedding ceremony. He
is a graduate Of Princeton university
and, during his residence there was a
close friend Of the Wilson family.
While in Washington he will be the
guest of Associate Justice Hughes and
Mrs. Hughes.
Dais to Be Set Up.
On Monday, the wedding eve, the
White House will be in the hands Of
the florists and the decorators, who will
do their best to make the east room
and the red. blue and green roons of
the executive mansion worthy of the
event Of the morrow.
A dais large enough to accommodate
the members of the brida party COM
fortably has been made and will be
placed in the east room in time for the
florists to arrange the decorations.
Those, invited to witness the ceremony
are glad there is to be a raised plat
form, as it means a better chance to
see the performance of the marriage

PRESIDENT HOLDS
THE WHIP IN THE
CURRENCY MATTER
RY John

Washington. D. c.. Nov. 24.-That
the currency bill will eventually be
shaped in conference by a committee
Of the two houses of congress-, with
the president in a position to dictate
what the conference shall do, is be-
coming more and more apparent. The
Senate banking and currency commit
tee reported to the Senate today its
inability to agree. The debate will be-
gin Monday and last many weeks.
Whatever bill passes the Senate viii
be greatly changed from the House
Dill. This will leave the way clear to
the conferees to rewrite most of the
bill under the rules governing confer
ences. When the conference report ia
made to each house, amendments can
not be considered, and the report will
nave to be adopted or rejected. Under
a majority of each house will support
whatever bill is finally presented. The
president. it is well known, expects to
shape the bill about as he wishes in
conference.

WAR OF WORDS WILL OPEN
I'm SENATE NEXT MONDAY

washington, NOV. 24.-The final
legislative battle for President Wilson's
currency bill began in the Senate to-
day with the presentation of reports
from the divided banking committee
submitting a report for the admins
tration democrats, Chairman Owen
gave notice he would open debate Mon.
day. Their bill follows closely the lines
OF h House measure and contains
only such amendments as President
Wilson was willing to accept. Sena-
tor Hitchcock, democrat, n the five
republicans submitted a draft mater
tally changing the bill and proposing
four reserve banks owned by the public
and controlled by the government.
Both sections Of the committee
agreed on concentration of reserves,
their volume and mobilization, the
volume of the capital Of the proposed
banks. promotion Of an open discount
market, provision for elastic currency.
the issuance of federal reserve notes,
that the federal notes should be obliga-
tons of the United States; that the
system should be a regional federal re-
serve bank system, instead of a central
TEN itself by the government.
The report Of the administration
democrats, reviewing the differences in
the committee, concludes:
"These differences arise in the main
because of the two schools CT Thought,
DIG part VI liz COlllllllllSe DGileNlIS III
a central bank administered by a CEN
trail board, and the other part Of the
committee proposing to establish a
number of comparatively independent
district banks administered by boards
OF directors chosen from the several
districts"
The report submitted by Senator
Hitchcock declared many amendments
it recommended had been indorsed In
the entire committee before the adj
ministration and anti-administration
forces separated and added that its
signers were generally in favor of a
government-owned central bank.
"Waiving a strong preference which
prevailed in committee in favor
Of a single government bank with
branches" said the report. 1--WE ac-
cepted the regional bank plan as the
congress, but retained the amendment
substituting four regional banks for
twelve. While the single government
bank plan would produce the only per-
feet mobilization of reserves. as has
been demonstrated by the experience
of other countries, the adoption of four
regional banks under a single control
will, it is thought, approximate his
result and, in a country SO large as
ours, with SO many banks, probably
prove efficient"
Senator Hitchcock will speak fol-
lowing Senator owen.
The presentation of the divided re-
port today placed before the Senate
without amendment the bill as it
passed the House. The amendments
recommended by the two wings of the
committee will be taken up in the de-
bate.
The bill was made the unfinished
business of the Senate on motion of
Chairman Owen, who announced he
would make no effort to begin its de-
tailed consideration or to secure a vote
on any amendment before the end Of
the special session.

BLOODY GARMENTS
POINT TO MURDER

aurora, ILL.,, Nov. 24.-The blood
soaked part of an undergarment, with
a school book and a revolver, both
spaatered with blood, found here yes
terday in a car of lumber consigned
from from South Bend, Wash, was not
a girls clothing, but belonged to a
woman, Police Captain Wirz said to-
day. In the school book, a German
grammar, the name of Elsie Helba
Day, of Springfield, Ore. was written.
The first theory of the police was
thai the child owner of the book might
ave been lured or dragged into the car
and attacked and slain. Closer exam
ination of the garment convinced the
authorities that it was a part Of a
woman's dress rather than that OF a
girl. This belief was further confirmed
today by word from Des Moines, Ia,
that Miss Day is visiting there and is
alive n we'll.
Miss Day thought Alice Mccormack, a
teacher of Springfield, Ore, might be
the girl in the mystery. Other names
in h book besides that Of Miss Day
We're DR.. A. H. Day, Colville, Wash;
Charles Mantz, Colville, Alfred Love,
Des Moines. Ia; Mrs. C. A. Day, Port
land, Ore; Mrs. D. H. Smith, Union
vile, Ia.
The car in which the bloody clothing
was found was in transit since October
70 and was loaded almost to the roof
With flat lumber. Both side doors and
one end door were sealed. The other
END door was open. Near lis the
clothing and the revolver were found.
Inc ponce are now proceeding on the
theory that a woman was murdered
ana that her clothing was slowed away
IN the car, together with the incrimin-
atlng revolver. Some Of the clothing
could have been lost out of the door,

murdered. Elsie Day is in Des Moines
visiting her brother, Alfred Love, whose
name was scrubbed in the book found
IN the ear. They are brother and sister,
Elsie Day, who has been here two
weeks Visiting her brother, said that
she believed the victim was Miss Alice
Mccormack, a school teacher of SPRING
field, Ore. with whom she was init
mately acquainted.
The book found in the car was
mine" said Miss Day last night. Il
had scrubbed my name and that of my
foster parents in it. [ suppose she Dor
rowed it though I had forgotten it. She
probably wrote her own name and that
of my brother in it."
Eugene, Ore, Nov. 22.-Miss Alice
Mccormack is now supposed to be
teaching school in Lynn county, adj
joining this county, 20 miles north of
here. Relatives here have no reason to
believe her missing.

that a murder may have been COM
mitted were discovered at Aurora yes

Uncle Sam Makes Elaborate
Preparation to Give His Boys
Great Feast.
BEST FED BODY ON EARTH

The commissary sergeant, that busy
old housewife OF each company In the
United States army, is this week turn
ing upside down each company bar
racks where federal troops are sta
toned, in preparation for the APP
preaching Thanksgiving feast. The
commissary officers on board each of
the fighting ships Of the nation are no
less busy below decks. AS a result OF
Thursday such a banquet for the na-
tons LIE, 900 fighting men as might
make the mouths of the 3d. GOO, 900 water
with envy IL they only knew.
For Uncle Sam provides literally for
his fighting force when there is an oc-
great natal days. The men of the army
and navy are but boys for the most
part. Most of them are but q few
years removed from the times when
their mothers made the most Of such
occasions and there is not an unocca-
sional touch of Inconsistencies In the
breast of each. The kindly uncle
knows Of this and bestirs himself to
lessen the pang, his balm being the
feeding to bursting of the inner man.
The result is surprising. The men of
the service sit down On Thanksgiving
day to such q dinner as 1t would be al
most impossible for the average civil
ian to buy. For the commissaries Of
the army and navy are great. well
oled machines such as 1t Is almost Inn
possible to duplicate in private life.
These sumptuous spreads are accom-
plished out of the regular rations of
the men in the two branches of tho
service. 1t seems q marvel in these
days of the high cost of living that
such meals are possible out of an ex-
penditure for food in the army of but
1885 cents per man per day, and in
the navy of but 36.9 cents. Yet the
marvel is regularly performed. These
men OF the military services are pro-
vtded, out of these stipends, such food
as not n working mar In a hundred
ever eats. Day by day their meals are
full Of variety and of those elements
that are said to stick to the ribs
But on Thanksgiving day there Ia a
vary riot oP food ~
