Underwood Forces Caucus
to Accept 1t Over
whelmingly
WILSON MEN IN
FULL CONTROL
A Few Nominations Made,
But Not a Single Post
master Named

Washington, April l4.--Congress has
closed out its first week in chill, rainy
weather. and another day of dull eau
cusing by House Democrats. While there
has been tariff activity all the way from
the White House to the Senate finance
committee, developments have been
along expected lines and tolerably un.
interesting. The House caucus, after al
most an entire day upon the sugar sched-
ule, adjourned till today, There are
prospects that most of this week will be
devoted by the House Democrats to get
ting through with this caucus routine.
President Wilson is entirely in com
mand, That was established more clear
ly than ever after the long debate on
the sugar schedule. Opponents made
much noise A score of speeches against
the provision in Representative Under
woods bill were made and various prop
ositions advanced as substitutes. Mr.
Underwood thought the test so impor-
tant he told how one-cent sugar had
been put into the bill at the suggestion
and with the approval OF President VIII
son. The final vote was reached after
tedious proceeding. and recommended,
l55 for the committee provision to 80
against it, This was so overwhelming
as to be conclusive of the administra-
tion's strength.
. The caucus Saturday got through the
tobacco schedule. While Mr.. Underwood
has told that he hopes to get the bill
enacted by the House by May |, it j.
very doubtful whether he succeeds. The
date will be nearer May 10, unless it is
decided to curtail House debate very ma
terially Senators and representatives.
are very anxious to take up numerous
other questions Of legislation. Bills are
being introduced by the hundred. Con-
gressmen with so much time upon their
hands would like to urge matters of To-
cal interest.
A few nominations were sent in sat
urday and aroused congressional hopes
for more. The president, however, has
not yet named a single postmaster, but
basketful of nominations are expected
at the capitol this week and repre-
sentatives will be oyerjoyed. President |
Wilson and all of his cabinet, except |
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, at
tended the second Gridiron club dinner
of the season Saturday night. 1t was |
a special dinner, largely in honor OF |
the new administration. The newspa |
