from the newspapers that they are an

will stand, in all likelihood. throughout

however, presents one of the probls ms
which the Senate. less convincingly dis
posed toward material reductions in the
tariff may readjust.
The rumors which emanate from the
private hearings of the majority mem
bership of the tariff making committee
grow daily more persistent along the
line of a tendency to disagree at many
points with Chairman Underwood. whose
general plan of moderate. scientific re-
duction of the tariff, with a view to
making it distinctly revenue producer,
does not fall in with the plan of a ma
jority of the conferees. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Underwood still holds the
whip hand so far as the general prin-
ciples of the reductions are concerned.

PRESIDENT WILL NOT
LEAVE FOR A YEAR
Mr.. Wilson, in Declining Invitation,
Says He Remains by "Sef-
deaying Ordinance"

President Wilson stated definitely yes
terday that he would accept no invita-
tions away from Washington during the
first year of his administration. He
made this announcement in a letter de-
clining to attend the celebration of the
18th anniversary of the signing of the
Mecklenburg Declaration Of Independence
at Charlotte, N. c., May. 20.
The President said: Il warmly appre-
ciate the highly complim entary invita-
ton of the Greater Charlotte Club to
attend the celebration of the 137th an
niversary of the signing Of the Neck
lenburg Declaration of Independence, at
Charlotte. on May 20 next, and 1 wish
most unaffectedly that it were possible
for me to accept. I have, however,
bound myself by a self-denying ordi-
nance. l feel that it is my public duty
to devote myself exclusively during this
my first year of Office as President to
the duties which engage me here at
Washington. 1 have, therefore, declined
all invitations away from the city,"
Charlotte people maintain that the dec
laration of the people of Mecklenburg
County was signed several months be-
fore the American Declaration of in
dependence. Davidson College, near
Charlotte. was the first college Wood
row Wilson attended. He studied there
one year.

APPROPRIATION HEAD
DEFENDS EXPENDITURE
Chairman Fitzgerald Tells Country Of
Necessity Of Amounts Carried
in Supply Measures.
MR.. CANNON MAKES ANSWER

The annual defense of the work of the
majority of the House by the chairman
OF the Committee on Appropriations.
coupled with the annual attack of the
senior minority member of that commit
tee, charging as usual gross eXtrava-
gance against the party in power, were
made public yesterday. The two state
ments take the form of ''leave to print"
speeches. the longer one from Repre-
sentative Joseph Cannon of Illinois for
the opposition, and the shorter and terser
one from Chairman John ]. Fitzgerald.
of New York, for the defense.
Mr.. Fitzgerald points with PRIDE to
the fact that lit is a matter of consid-
cradle satisfaction that the total appro-
priation, including the two bills which
did not become laws. attained only the
sum of s1.OeS 647. .96o2I, and did not reach
or pass the sum of 81. .10o, 100000.
Representative Cannon views with
alarm" the fact that the Democratic ap-
preparation bill regardless of their hav-
ing been predicated on the recommended
tion Of a Republican administration, have
been SO increased, SO stuffed with in
creases in every direction, and with the
$40 0O0, 900 public building bill tackled on.
has managed to surpass by more than
SIC, 900, 900 any previous annual aggregate
ir the history of American legislation.
lncluOlnS tne record appropriation Ot
1910. which was the hgh-water mark,
and the heavy supplemental appropria
ton necessitated for the fiscal year.
1889. occasioned by the Spanish, Amer
ican war.
Mr.. Fitzgerald says. "the increase in the
total appropriation is due to many
causes The continued growth and de-
velopment of the country and the in
creased activity of many services of the
Federal government, and the constant
pressure to divert to the Federal treas
ury burdens which properly belong else
where, are factors which tend more or
less legitimately to increase the cost OF
the Federal government
Mr.. Cannon in his attack argues that
the figures presented by Mr.. Fitzgerald
should have added to them SIC. 95s. ia for
contracts authorized or public work pro-
vided for involving further expenditures
by the government In other words. the
total appropriation amounts to more than

SUFFRAGE LEAGUE

Congress Is Asked, Through Senator

ernment despotic. inefficient. and un-
American: condemning the District laws
as out OF date. and especially dwelling
upon the responsibility of the officials
Of the present system of government. the
District of Columbia Suffrage League
presented. through Senator La Toilette.
on the last day of Congress, a memorial
On the need of a change of government
for the District of Columbia.
The memorial submits a growing dis
satisfaction among the people of the Dis
trict with their present form Of govern
ment, which excludes them from all
voice in the administration of their own
affairs. 1t states that the majority of
the people here realize that there is no
valid reason for excluding them from
the rights and privileges of American
citizenship. The capacity for self-gov-
ernment by the people of the Capital,
the memoralists contend. is greater. in
regard to the average intelligence. than
that of any other city in the United
States.
An analysis of the inefficiency of the
present system OF government is in
cluded in the memorial of which the
document SAYS:
THE principals of Democratic control
ar1 official responsibility are ignored in
the present system Of the District gov
ermnent"
The document closes with a appeal to
the people of the United States to ac-
quaint themselves "as to the political
conditions, utterly un-American and un-
worthy of the twentieth century, which
prevail in the Nations Capital and to
see to it that Congress give the people
Of the District Of Columbia a Demo-
cratic form of government.

Directory made its triumphant entry
into public life yesterday
According to the new work on the

ties OF spelling for all. and no especial
favorites.
If any group is favored by the new
directory. il is a select circle of eight
cen persons and business firms, who
were dilatory in getting into print, and
who have a position all to themselves
at the beginning of the work. under
the heading. TOO Late to Classify"
The special feature of this group is
its real estate interest, four in the
group being dealers and one a real
estate firm. A physician. a minister, a
piano repairer. and a widow lend di-
versity of interest to this small COM
pany. however. and preclude charges
of class snobbishness against its mem
bers. John c. Norris, assistant health
officer of the District of Columbia, is
among this exclusive circle.
The greatest expansion is shown by the
citizens associations who have grown
down the last column of page and up
the next since the last issue.
Thirteen plural Beers occur, despite the
conscientious thirst legislation Of the de-
parted Congress. Some twenty Bears,

TREATY
SIGNED BY BRYAN
For the First Time New Premier Adds
Signature to Such a State
Paper.

Secretary of State Bryan yesterday for
the first time affixed his signature to a
treaty to which the United States is a
party in the exchange of ratifications Of
the arbitration treaty with France, ar
rangements for the extension of which
for FIVE years was made in the last days
of the Taft administration. The treaty
would have expired next month by limita-
ton.
The arbitration treaty with Great Bri-
tain, which is practically identical with
the treaty with France, expires by lin
itation next June. Mr.. Bryan said this
afternoon that he had not yet taken un-
der consideration the question of renew
ing this treaty. 1t is under this treaty
that Great Britain is calling upon the
