.TUMULTY KEEPS
MACHINERY GOING
Secretary, With Two Assist
ants, Settling Executive Cues
tons Without Aid.
WAS HTNGToN

WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-Three
competent secretaries are busy at the
White House endeavoring to keep all
official business away from President
Wilson, unless 1t is of such impor-
lance as to require reaching the pres
idential ear. While President Wilson
is enjoying the balmy climate of Pass
Christian and recreating on the golf
links of the Southern resort, Joseph
p. Tumulty, his private secretary, is
keeping the public machinery going
at full tilt, handling hundreds of let
ters a day and settling off-hand ex-
ecutive questions that would worry
any but a seasoned White House Sec
rotary.
The President left his full staff at
Washington when he went South for
rest and pleasure. Mr.. Tumulty
with the aid of Assistant Secretaries
Forster and Brahany, has been able
thus far to handle the affairs of state
without an appeal to his chief. and
no mail or message, except those COM
ing directly through official channels
and calling for a decision from the
President, have been forwarded to the
Southern headquarters.
Secretary Tumulty is following the
example of his chief and endeavoring
to get as much recreation as possible
during the recess of Congress. He has
not been able to let go of the White
House reins for whole day thus far,
however, and his rest consists in a
daily walk of an hour and fifteen
minutes and an occasional trip over
nearby golf links and short excur-
sions by automobile to nearby points.
The flood of mail that descended
on the White House when the sue
tain has abated somewhat since
President Wilson left Washington,
but hundreds of letters arrive daily
bearing upon the organization of the
new banking system and offering
the President suggestion and advice.

Especial to the Newark start

YOUNGSTOWN, Dec. 31.-There has
been much discussion in town over
the. location of the electric star that
is suspended near the public Christ
mas tree on the Morristown green.
Some people have criticised because
it Is hung on the west side of the
tree. They assert that it should be
toward the east. But the electricians
who placed the star point to the
weather vane on the Liberty pole on
.he green. The points have been at
variance with established usage all
the year, the w being toward the
east and the e pointing west.
Some wag has asserted that the
Democrats, who put out of Office
many Republicans the first of the
year, are responsible for the chang
ing of the points of the compass, but
an investigation leads one to the
belief that a high wind swun~ the
big steel letters around and that the
trustees of the green have neglected
to have them corrected.
