We might as we'll answer 1t ,urseves, the statement cannot be doubted This is rather remarkable of Mir. Wilson. Professors are as class very narrow minded men their training and their lives make them SO. But if Mir. Wilson ever suffered from littleness and narrowness he has nohly risen above 1t.
 When he was selected to head the democratic ticket IL was because the leaders of the party felt that tn" t..hitual candidate of the party could not win and the democratic leaders saw the chance of a generation in the disruption of the republican party, and they wanted to win.
 In order to do this it was neces sary to select a man who had not been continuously before the people aa d professional politician. The ,.eoplc were a little ti-oA af the pru- fessional politician and the wise de- mocratic leaders understood. So they selected Mir. Wilson.

 One of the conditions of his candl- dacy was that. if elected. he must give Bryan place in his cabinet. the first place. Bryan had been trying for long time to land something in the way of government job and the leaders realized that he was entitled to reward. Also they knew that Wilson could not win without Rryan's support. So Bryan was put in to run the political end of the shebang for the "schoolmaster."

Wilson or not may also be left to the same competant judges. and the decision in both cases will have to be that Mir.

FL. A. Douglas, of the West End Re-
publican Club, this morning i'm reply
to a newspaper article published to-
day to the effect that the charges had
been preferred against William Shees-
ley, chairman of the clubs board of
trustees. and Thomas Marshall, vice.
president.
The article mentioned asserted that
the club is in "the throes of bitter in
ternal warfare and that one faction
favors the serving of liquor on Sun
days in the clubhouse while the other
is opposed to 1t.

President Douglas, was we'll attended

were no charges presented, but there

but he received no support and that
has been over long since

Toxic. Jan. 14.-Official reports this
afternoon from southern Japan, where
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
have caused heavy loss of life, panic
and great property damage, are that
the eruption of the volcano of Sakura-
lima, which has caused the most
devastation. Is abating. Just how
heavy has been the loss of life cannot
yet be estimated. Sakura, where the
greatest loss of life undoubtedly oc-

eruption of Sakura-Jima continues.
kagoshima, the nearest big city to
Sakura, while 1t suffered great dam

appear to have sustained a severe
loss of life. III. Ij,lin, former Japa-

Kagoshima, sent dispatch to the for

persons were killed and thirty injured.
Other kilograms report that the bar
racks, governors residence and the
temples were among the buildings
wrecked in Kagoshima. The soldiers
are camped in the squares of the city,

Sakura-Jima, at the height Of it's

terrifying mountain of fire. The air
for miles around is thick with ashes
and smoke. The police and soldiers
of Kagoshima. soon after the disturb

the Island of Sakura.
The people at first did not seem to
realize their danger and were slow in
trying to escape. 1t is feared that
many were killed before reaching the
seashore. Thousands, pursued by a
rain of fiery stones, llnelt on the
beach. half submerged in water, and
gesticulated wildly to the steamers

PRESIDENT HOPES To
HAVE CONGRESS ACT
ON bills He FAV0RS
Wilson Wants Measures to Have
His Stamp Of Approval Be-
fore Being Acted Upon
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Jan. 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson conferred to-day with
congressional leaders on trust legisla.-
ton. He talked in the forenoon with
Chairman Newlands and Democrats of
the Senate Interstate commerce com
mittee, and reserved the late afternoon
for second conference with Chair
man Clayton and Democrats of the
House judiciary committee.
TO the latter committee the Presi-
dent had given a. preliminary outline
of the ideas before Congress recessed
three weeks ago. To-day the Presi-
dent was prepared to discuss with the
TWO committees which will be in
charge of trust legislation, specific
points in his program.
SO far as Is possible, it is the in
tention of the administration to OBJ
tain from these committees bills upon
which they are all agreed, and before
the measures covering the desired field
are introduced it is the Presidents
nope that he may be consulted and
that the bills will be launched with
the stamp of administration approval,
just as was the case with the tariff
and currency.
An effort will be made to distinguish
Tor the business world those measures
which have the backing of the Presi-
dent and those which may represent
the individual views of members of
Congress, though the Presidents
friends in Congress hope to reduce the
number of personal bills to q mini
mum.
1t was said to-day that the Presi-
dents forthcoming message satisfies
the trust views of every member of
the Cabinet. and that these members
in close touch with the business world
believe the industry of the country
will find healthful reinsurance in it.

FIRE IN VARN|SH
SHOP BENEATH Ord
ST. -R00MNAC HOUSE
Blaze Occurs Just Before Noon;
Started in the Cellar
From Flue

Fire in the store of Webster Watt
& Bros, dealers in paints, varnish, oils
and wallpaper, rs South Third street,
at noon to-day, did damage to the
amount of $4,000.
The blaze started in the cellar,
caused, 1t is believed, from a defective
furnace fiue or crossed wires under a
stairway. The stock in the store. IS
covered by insurance.
Bud" Day Miller. of Twenty first
and Derry streets, member of the
Friendship Fire Company, broke his left
leg during the fire, when the nozzle of
the hose he was holding got away from
him and knocked him down. He was
taken TO the Harrisburg Hospital.
Above the wallpaper and varnish
store is an apartment house leased to
Miss Rebecca Martin. The second
floor is occupied by Isaac Grove, con-
stable in the Third Ward, and Charles
Haines. The apartments on the third
floor are occupied by Miss Martin.
The apartment dwellers suffered slight
loss from smoke and water.
The fire was first discovered by
Webster Watt, manager of the store,
when the store suddenly filed with
clouds of smoke. Flames soon began
to burst through the floor from tho
cellar.
Firemen DO Good Work

Third and Market streets, and the
entire central district responded. With
in a few minutes after the arrival of
the firemen the rear of the storeroom,
used for storing oils and varnish, was
flooded and more serious outburst
of fire and possible explosions were
thus averted.
The fire, occurring during the lunch
con hour, hundreds of people crowded
around the scene of the blaze. Water
from the hose freezing on the pave
ments caused dozens of people to fall
and greatly impeded the work of the
firemen.
After half hours fighting the
flames were under control.
