HOKE SMITH WILL
|. EXPLAIN PLANS. TO
PRES|DENT:ELECT
Georgia Senator Will Urge
Doing Away With Old
Seniority Rule.

TRENTON. N. J., Jan. 7-AIl of the
plans of the Progressive Democrats in
the Senate will be unfolded to Presi-
dent-elect Wilson by Senator Hoke
Smith. of Georgia. when he pays his
scheduled visit here tomorrow. Smith
had been leading the fight to control the
Senate against the old Bailey element
and from him the President-elect ex-
poets to receive accurate information as
to the exact status of the Democratic
insurgency" in the upper house.
1t is believed Senator Smith will ex-
plain his plan for reorganizing the Sem
ate and doing away with the seniority
rule III the makeup of committees.
The Georgia Senator is looked upon as
the prospective mouthpiece of the Ad-
ministration in the coming Senate.
Governor Wilson has not made public
his views about the organization of the
new Congress. but it is understood he
is in hearty accord with the '.insurgent"
cause. 1t Is known that he feels the
organization of the committees IN both
houses along progressive lines Is essen
tial to the success of the legislation he
is pledged to.
The hardhip, financially. that the lack
of a mail franking privilege for Presi-
ton eXchequer became known today,
when IL was learned that Governor WI
son has answered O.2d letters since
election, spending more than 81 900 in
postage alone, not mentioning salaries
to stenographers and clerks. He has
paid this out of his own pocket. and,
save for his salary as governor, Wilson
has little money.

WEATHERMAN AHOY!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Seems Like Florida Instead of
Iceland, as Was Pre-
dicted.

There was grave doubt in the mind OF
the oldest inhabitant this morning as
to whether Washington is Florida OF
whether the Weather Man. usually a
prosaic and unromantic person, has lost
his bearings entirely. The balminess OF
the atmosphere, cloaked In a heavy
Caribbean mist. seemed utterly to be-
lieve the alleged presence Of winter in
our midst.
The mercury showed So degrees at
O'Clock this morning, and 56 at 10
o'clock II the forecast cold wave"
has arrived on the seaboard 1t is max
ing itself conspicuous by its absence
from Washington at least. The Weather
Bureau has sent out a tracer in search
of II.
The forecast for today Is: Rain or
snow, and colder tonight; snow and
colder tomorrow" A drop in the mer-
curry to the freezing point is predicted.
So there Is still some chance that the
present tropical rainy season Is to be
scared OF into the south Atlantic by
some chill visitor from the north.

.HALTS EVICTION
Of JENS FROM
K|EFF DISTRICT
Russian Official Answers Ap-
peals of Thousands for
Homes During Winter.

ODESSA. Jan. 7-Responding to the
frantic appeals of thousands of Jews
who have been ordered from their
homes in the Kieff district, Governor
General Trepof today suspended fur
ther expulsions until the spring. With
a touch of sympathy most unusual In
n representative of the bureaucracy,
the official declared 1t Inhuman to evic:
the people during the rigorous winter
season.
1t is said that the local governor
of Kieff. NJ Giers. is to be transferred.
Meantime petitions are being for
warded to st. Petersburg in large num-
bers from all districts where Jews have
been expelled. In Volhynia, one of
those driven out was an aged veteran
of eighty three years. VINO fought un-
der Nicholas l.
Heretofore Nicholas soldiers had the
privilege of living where they pleased,
regardless of race or religion.

M|DD|ES ARE SAD!
BAN IS ON "TRO1S'
AT ACADEMY HOPS
Annapolis Officials Rule
Dances Must Be Positively,
Proper-So There!

The iron hand of naval discipline has
invaded the ball room. and the Annapo-
lis midshipnan Is indignant today oveT
the infringement Of his rights. Here
are some Of the stern rules that tn
vite his wrath.
None of the modern trots and tangos
are to be danced under any circum-
stances
The midshipmen must keep their left
arms straight during all dances.
A space OF at least three inches must
be kept between the dancing couples
at all times.
A midshipman must not take tho
arm of his partner under any circum-
stances.
The officials of the Annapolis
Academy have promulgated these reg
ulations for all dances at the school.
ani declare they will be strictly en-
forced. The middies object to all Of
them, but particularly to the second.
which, they say. enforces a constrained
and tiresome position.

WILSON MUST PAY
HIS POSTAGE BILLS
President-Elect Will Not Gel
Mailing Frank Ollie James
Sought.

Because Congress will not know offic-
ially until February 12 that Gov. Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey has been
elected President, Mr.. Wilson will have
TO do without a mailing frank until
he assumes office. Senator-elect Ollie
James of Kentucky. who was interest
ed In obtaining this for Mr.. Wilson be
cause of the heavy postage bills in
CURED in the last few weeks, finds that
there is no precedent for giving the
frank TO a President-elect until Con-
gress has been notified officially of his
election
Inasmuch as there are only twenty
days from February l. to Inauguration
day, March 4, the Senator-elect has de-
cided not to take further action toward
relieving the strain on the governors s
purse.

SUFFRAG|STS PLAN
TO USE AVENUE FOR
AT TERNOON PARADE
Friends at Court" Are Ex-
pected to Secure Accept
ance of Application.

With officials of the Woman's Ma
tional Suffrage Association using every
means to secure the use of Pennsyl-
yanis avenue for the pageant on March
3. tentative plans for holding the parade
there have been made, and II is ex-
pccted that permission will be granted
as soon as District officials can act.
Ms jor Sylvester said today that he had
not yet received the letter from Miss
Paul, chairman or the committee on ar
rangements, asking for use of the Ave-
nue. and that in advance of the request
he could give out nothing.
Commissioner Johnston. who has
charge of police affairs in the District,
couldnot be reached, but at his office
II was learned that application had been
received for. use of the Avenue and
would be acted upon in due course.
At the headquarters of the associa-
there is now an air of mystery regard
ing the whole affair, and II was hinted
that II was expected permission would
be granted soon.

The letter forwarded to Major Sylves-
ter recently. outlines the route of the
parade as follows: Starting at the Capt.
tol steps. 1t will pass along Pennsylvania
avenue, past Tie south side of the Treas
ury, thence between the Treasury and
the Executive Mansion to Pennsylvania
avenue, along Pennsylvania avenue to
Seventeenth street, thence down Seven

olded upon long ago, and that il was
letended to have il in the afternoon.

could not be seen in the night and the
women would not care to hold their

Mrs. Gardner also denied that there
was any intention of giving up the pa
rade because the use of Pennsylvania
avenue could not be secured. I'VE in

said. but should prefer to have it on

BITTER FEELING an WOOD CASE
BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES

Boston, Mass, May 2S.-Bitter
feeling between the prosecution and
defense was very much in evidence
today when the Wood dynamite con-
spiracy trial was resumed with D. ].
Mahoney, general man about the
Wood home at Andover, on the stand.
Pelletier asked the witness regard
ing a missing chauffeur named Red
dick who, the prosecutor claims,
drove the car in which Pittman went
to Quarryman Rice of Quincy for the
dynamite which was later turned
over to Breen in Boston.
PeIletier last night charged that
Reddick is still in the employ of
Wood, that his family still occupies
the. house on the Wood estate at
Andoyer and that he Is being kept
out of the jurisdiction of the court
by his employer. In addition, the
prosecutor says it has been unable
to serve another material witness, an
employe of the wooden company, who
was transferred from the Boston to
the New York offices Of the company
when it was found that subpoena
servers we're looking for him.
Fred N. Chandler, a special Law
renee police justice, and a member
of the committee named to try to set
tie the strike, was questioned regard
ing meetings held with the min own
ers at which Atteaux and Wood were
present.
The committee was in session in
a hotel with the mill owners, Chand-
Ter said, when word came that dyna-
mite had been found III several places
in Lawrence.
The next time he saw Wood was
about two weeks later, when the
committee went to Woods home in
Boston, where the magnate was III in
bed. Atteaux was also present and
strike matters were discussed.
Witness could not remember any
thing special that either Wood or At

FINED FOR TRYING. TO MAKE
NEWSIE "EAT" AMERICANS
The desperate tactics of Hearst's
Chicago American to pulmotor it's cir
culation have received a check in
Judge LaBuy's court at Maxwell
street.
Dave Kovalshelsky, an American
driver, was fined $25 and costs for
trying to force the newsboy at Egh-
teenth. and Halsted streets to take
more Americans than he could sell
and for beating him up when he re-.
fused to do so. ....,.
The game of increasing circulation
by making newsboys take more
papers than they can sell is an old
one In Chicago. In the language of
the newsboys it is making the boys
'eat papers"
The Chicago American has been
trying to force newsboys it's drivers
thought they could intimidate, to
"eat'' papers for some time. Some of
them are losing their appetites.
WOMEN PEEVED BECAUSE THEY
CAN'T RIDE ASTRlDE
Washington, May 28.-The edict
issued by General ]. P. Hickman, for
bidding women riding astride in the
parade during the reunion of the
United Confederates at Chattanooga,
Tenn, makes them tired" Wash
ington women announced today.
Miss Mildred Greble, noted capital
horsewoman, wanted to know why
women couldn't wear riding trousers
if they were more comfortable, if
men could and did use face-powder.
Mrs. BurIeson, chief marshal in the
recent suffrage parade, said: 1--WE
are not trying to follow the ways of,
men in riding astride. We have just
awakened to the fact that we are
more comfortable and look better rid
ing that way than with side saddles.

kcounseis to this end. A common pur.
pose ought to make agreement easy.
Three or four matters of special
importance and Significance ] beg
that you will permit me to mention in
closing
Employ rs' Liability Aet
Our bureau Of mines ought to be
Equipped and empowered to render
even more effectuaI service than it
renders now in improving the condi-
tons OF mine labor and making the
mines more economically productive
as well as more safe. This is an all
important part of the work of conser-
walton; and the conservation Of hu-
man life and energy lies even nearer
to our interest than the preservation
from waste of our material resources.
We owe il, in mere Justice to the
railway employees of the country. to
provide for them a fair and effective
employers liability act; and a law
that we can stand by in this matter
/ will be no less to the advantage OF
those who administer the railroads OF
1.-THE country than to the advantage OF
those whom they employ. The expe-
rience of large number of the
states abundantly proves that.
We ought to devote ourselves to
meeting pressing demands OF plain
Justice like this as earnestly as to the
Accomplishment of political and eco
nomic reforms: Social justice comes
first. Law is the machinery for its
realization and is vital only as it ex-
presses and embodies it.
i An international congress for the
discussion of all questions that affect
safety at sea is now sitting in Lon
4 don at the suggestion of our own gov
lernment So soon as the conclusions
iof that congress can be learned and
considered we ought to address our

unjust and burdensome conditions
which now surround the employment
of sailors and render it. extremely diff
ficult to obtain the services OF spirit
ed and competent men such as every
ship needs IL it is to be safely ham
died and brought to port.
May I not express the very real
pleasure / have experienced in CO.
operating with this Congress and
sharing with it the labors of common
service to which it has devoted itself
so unreservedly during the past
seven months of accomplishing con-
centration upon the business of leg
islation? Surely it is a proper and
pertinent part of my report on the
state of the Union" to express my adj
miration for the diligence, the good
temper, and the full comprehension
of public duty which has already been
manifested by both the houses; and
