PRESIDENT ASKS FOR
LEAVE TO TAKE A GIFT
Senators Puzzled by His FIX.
trcme Caution and Study
the Constitution.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-Vice- President
Marshall laid before the Senate to-day a
communication from President Wilson
asking for authority to accept n statue Of
the British statesman. William Pitt. The
statue was presented to him by an or
ganization OF Englishwomen and is to be
installed In the White House. The letter
was referred to the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations
This request by President Wilson IL the
first one Of its kind that Senators could
recall tonight as having come from a
President In many years.
Section . OF Article !. Of the Constitu-
ton OF the United States provides:
NO title Of nobility shall be granted
by the United States; and no person hold
ing any office Of profit or trust under them
shall. without the consent OF Congress.
accept any present emolument. Office or
title Of any kind whatever from any King
Prince or foreign tSate."
Members of the Senate were inclined
to believe that the consent of Congress
in the present case was entirely unneces.
sary and that President Wilson had
merely made an application out of an
abundance OF caution. The statue prob
ably will be transmitted through the
State Department. and in this event might
take on something of the character of
. gift mentioned In the constitutional
prohibition. ~
There is a big safe In the State De-
partment filled with gifts that have been
received by officers of the United States
Government which they haven't been able
to accept without permission Of Con.
sress. The usual procedure has been To
walt until the intended recipient OF the
gift died and then confer 1t upon mem
bers OF his family

tory Coded.

WARRINGTON. Aug. 5.--word reached
Washington tonight through unofficial
channels that the United States has pre-.
sented a note to the Balkan peace con-
ference. No confirmation was to be had
here tonight II the United States Gov.
ernment has taken this step II is the first
move that 1t has made In any way In the
Balkan trouble.
According to the information which
reached Washington the president OF the
Balkan peace conference at Bucharest
to-day read to the conference the note
from this Government which asked that
clause be inserted in the bucharest
treaty stipulating the assurance OF civil
and religious liberty to the populations
inhabiting the territory which may be
ceded or annexed under the treaty
1t was represented that the President Of
the Peace Conference, after reading the
note, declared that every country partici-
pating In the conference had such n law
and that the insertion Of such clause
In the treaty would be superfiuous
II the United States Government has
taken this step It undoubtedly has been
In response to agitation In favor Of pro-
other countries involved. Representative
Moore OF Pennsylvania introduced n reso-
luton in the House some time ago. which
has as Its purpose an expression of opinion
along this line. Nothing, however. has
been done with the resolution.
1t Is known that many protests have
been received recently at the state Depart
ment from Jews in this country Their
protests charged that the treatment of
Jews in Rumania had been a viola ton
of the Treaty OF Berlin. under which they
had been guaranteed certain civil rights
The fact that the United States Govern
ment has seen fit to make representations
in any way on the Balkan situation

policy Of the Taft Administration TO keep

possible and the deviation from this
