PRESIDENT WANTS
ARGENTINE EMBASSY
Mr.. Wilson Decides to Ask Congress
to Raise Rank of Diplomatic Post
in South America.
COMPLIMENT TO BE RETURNED

President Wilson has decided to ask
Congress TO authorize the raising OF the
American diplomatic mission In Argentina
to the grade of an embassy. This an
nouncement was made by Secretary o.
State Bryan yesterday afternoon
Minister Naon, Of the Argentine Lega-
| tion, last night expressed his pleasure at
the compliment thus paid his country.
and said that the Argentine government
will ask the national legislature to recip-
rocate. There lis little doubt Of the re-
quest of President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan being complied with by Congress.
The proposed action for many years has
been discussed here as most desirable
thing. and the State Department during
the Taft administration, was heartily in
favor OF IL. 1t was indicated, however,
+hat Democratic opposition would be suf-
ficient to defeat 1t.
John w. Garrett, present Minister to
Argentina, probably will be first Ambas-
saoor to that country. Minister Garrett
is one of the few men found in the diplo-
matte service by the Wilson administra-
ton who has been permitted to retain
his post with the full approval of the
present government. He is a graduate
OF Princeton, and by his connection has
long enjoyed the friendship of President
Wilson. He is now in this country on
a vacation trip.
1t is likewise conceded that Romulo S.
Naon, Argentine Minister, will be the
first Argentine Ambassador TO the United
States. Minister Naon has made the
Argentine Legation one OF the most i'm
portant in Washington. Last night the
minister made the following statement to
The Washington Herald.
1T has been considered in Argentina
for long time that the constitution did
not permit the establishment of embss-
sizes; but more recently. public opinion,
directed by the leading newspapers. has
undergone a change, and the administra-
ton in Argentina has received the very
friendly and complimentary initiative Of
this government most favorably, and
will recommend that the congress recip-
rocate It."
There is no doubt felt here that the
step to be taken by the administration
will have a gratifying effect upon rela-
tons with Argentina and with South
American countries generally. The COM
merce of the United States and Argen-
tina has been growing at a tremendous
rate in the last ten years, and the bur-
dens thrust upon the legation as a re-
suit have been all out of proportion to
the establishment The salary Of Min
lister Garrett is at present but $1,000 a
year. His salary as an Ambassador will
be 81, 800.

Philadelphia, Feb. 19-Rev. Charles F.
Aked, pastor of First Congregational
Church. San Francisco. and formerly pas
tor of Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, New
York, declares in a signed statement in

tlcnal reporting started the nation

ulous birth of Christ and that persons

The minister also SAYS the declarations
TO which SO much exception has been
taken recently were made by him pre-
yiously in the New York church in tho
presence of John u. Rockefeller, ST., and
John u. Rockefeller, jr., and other men,
bcrs of the more orthodox Baptists, and
mo such silly controversy" as the present
one was started. Or. sNkcd's statement,
in part, follows:
There is nothing original in my views.
They are the common property of odu-
Gated men and women in all the Protest
ant churches of the world. There is
nothing new in them. All the people who
write books and all the people who read
books long have been familiar with them.
III I had never assailed the Barbary
Coast you would never have heard a
word about my alleged he=csies. These

into the front page OF the daily news
papers with an axe. In itself the whole
business is trivial II is not big enough
70 be called a tempest in a teapot. il is
only a hurricane in deIni tasse.
THE story Of the virgin birth of
Jesus has priceless value for the church.
1t has made its way into our creeds, our
hymns, our Christian legends. 1t would
be difficult to imagine the centuries and
the ages and the world of our day with
out the story Of the virgin mother and
her child. Yet the value of the birth
stories lies not in their statement of fact.
but in their effort to construct q theory.
In plain words, the stories of the virgin
birth OF Jesus in two Of the Gospels, and
the dognatic assertion Of the crews

MAKES VIGOROUS PLEA
FOR VOTE in CAPITAL
Michael !. Weller Declares People
Pay Taxes and Should Have
Suffrage as Result.
GOVERNED BY ABsoLUTIsM

Suffrage in the District should have
the emphatic support OF every citizen.r
said Michael I. Weller. before the Study
Club in Economies. last night in the In
gram Memorial Church. Home rule for
the District OF Columbia" was Mr.. Well
ler's topic.
1--WE pay taxes and contribute to the
support of the community and In turn
are governed by an absolutism before
which We must bow" said Mr.. Weller.
Georgetown governed itself under
mayoralty system long after it was In
cluded In the District. Washington was
not given a charter until 1Soe when
Thomas jefferson provided that the city
should be governed by an appointed
mayor. washingtonians were restless
and displeased when they saw George
town governing itself while they had no
representation in their own government
In 1890 the city was given a regular
governmeA by a mayor elected by the
people. The city was well managed
until 1S1I, when. by twist OF legislation.
the District was given a territorial gov
eminent under which a great public debt
was accumulated by the men appointed
to govern. Because Of this debt piled
up by appointed officers it was said that
the people OF Washington could not gov
ern themselves.
1T was the intention OF the trainers
OF the Constitution to give suffrage to
the inhabitants OF the governments city,
claimed Mr.. Weller. This is proved by
O letter written by James Madison four
months after the adoption Of the Con-
stitution, in which he stated that the
State granting the territory for our gov
ernmental city would allow suffrage to
the inhabitants of that territory.
Maryland granted the land for the
District of Columbia. but that State did
not own the personal property Of the
people in that section; consequently
Maryland could not give to the United
States a title to the personal property
Of these people. but the United States
assumed complete control of the terri
tory. allowing the inhabitants no rights.
The present government Of the Dis
trict finds itself unable TO maintain the
night schools, cannot furnish water with
out a high tax. has difficulty to clear the
streets of snow and Is troubled by many
other similar problems. That in itself
is sufficient argument for allowing the
people of the community to govern them
selves. II he citizens managed their own
affairs We would have no such condi-
tons"

DEBATE ON JAPANESE
QUESTION SILENCED
House Committee Decides to Report
Bill Dealing Only with Exclusion
of Low Caste Hindoos.
CAMINETTI CHANGES ATTITUDE

At the instance Of the Wilson admins
tration, the House Committee on Immi-
grafton has decided 20 report a bill bar
ring from the United States all low-caste
peoples from India. including the Hindoos.
There will be no discussion OF the Jap
anese exclusion question before the House
committee now. The Hindoo exclusion
bill will be reported and passed in due
season and Pacific Coast members will
have to be conten: with the concession
on the exclusion problem.
The new order OF things i'm the Immi-
grafton Committee was plainly manifest
yesterday. Commissioner OF Immigration
Caminetti. OF California. again appeared.

devoted his testimony entirely to a dis

Representative Johnson. of Washington,
one of the Pacific Coast members who
wants the japanese excluded by law.
criticized the committee for its determi-
nation not TO take up measures aimed at
japanese coolies. He was warned by
Chairman Burnett. of Alabama. that the
committee was dealing with the Hindoo
question and that irrelevant matter
should not be injected into thu discus

Chairman Burnett raped for order, but

record.

are in an ugly frame of mind over the
sidetracking of the japanese exclusion
bill at the request of Secretary of State
Bryan.
Representatives Rsker and Church. of
California. also appeared before the COM
Uiittee. All spoke in favor of the pro-
posal to include Hindoos. Mr. Canine til
questioned official figures showing that
only 5000 Hindoos have entered this coun-

a report on the IIindoo exclusion bill
