1t is reported that President Wilson,
owing to the public statement of Sena-
tor Vardaman that he will oppose con-
firmation of the nomination of any
negro to an appointive office over which
the Senate has Jurisdiction, will not
nominate for reappointment Judge
Robert E. Terrell, negro. who has
served one term as justice here of the
Municipal Court.
The president has nominated judges
for two of the four vacancies in the
Municipal Court, but both of them are
white men.
1t is said that because of Senator
Vardaman's avowed objection, which
was personally stated by Senator Varda-
man to Mr.. Wilson at the White House,
that the president will refrain from
renominating Terrell, and bring the
dispute to an end with Mr.. Vardaman.

Washington. ID. c., Aug. S.-Nomi-
nations of Paul M. warburg of New
York and Frederick A. Delano of Chi
cago as members of the federal re-
serve board were confirmed by the
senate last night.
With the confirmation of Mr.. War
burg and Mr.. Delano' the new banking
board is now complete and can pro-
coed at once to the organization OF
the reserve system under the new cur
rency law.

w. p. G. Harding of Birmingham,
Adolph c. Miller of San francisco,
Charles S. Hamlin of Boston, and Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo and
Comptroller of the Currency Williams
as ex-officio members.
The confirmation of the New York
and Chicago members came at the
close of a five-hour debate most of
the time having been consumed by
Senator Bristow of Kansas, who de-
voted his speech to an attack upon
Mr.. warburg, whose nomination he
opposed from the beginning.
In the course of the debate Senator
bTlSlOW anu olOHe VI MIS-
souri, became involved in heated per-
sonal argument, which for a time look
ed threatening.
The senators finally subdued at the
urgent request of their respective col
leagues.
Eleven senators voted against Mr.
Warburg. only one of them, Lane of
Oregon, being a democrat
Senator BristCw was the only sena-
tor to vote against Mr.. Delano. Sena-
tor Bristow sought in vain to have
the senate make public testimony TAX

fore the banking and currency COM
mitee.

U. S. NEUTRALITY
IS HARD PROBLEM
Washington Officials Much Con-
cerned About Movements OF
Ships During War Time.

WASHINGTON. Aug S.-Observation OF
strict neutrality by the United States
in the European war. especially as TO
the movements OF foreign ships IN
American waters. gave the Washing
ton government most concern Friday.
Special Instructions were issued by
the department OF commerce, which
may have On important effect on the
movement Of reservists from the Unit
cd States. What amounts to a mill
tary expedition from American soil
VIII In each case be prohibited In &C
oordance with President Wilson's neu-
trality proclamation.
Assurances that the Tennessee and
North Carolina. as well as vessels TO
bring Americans out of Europe, would
be admitted to the ports Of the coun-
tries at war. brought relief to officials.
The two warships are bound. it is said,
for Falmouth. England.
The French and Russian govern
ments acknowledged receipt of the
tender OF good Offices" looking toward
mediation but gave no hint as to their
attitude toward its acceptance. No
word has been received as 10 whether
or not President Wilson's message to
Emperor William actually reached
him.
The situation in the far east is Civ
ing administration officials some wor-
~. They do not expect general hos
tflities there. because the British. Rus
sian and French ships predominant
and could rely on the Japanese for
assistance. However, the problem of
preserving the integrity of China and
maintaining her neutrality is being
carefully considered.
Chinese minister Shah, and Yung
Kwai. the counselor of the legation,
conferred Friday with Secretary Bry-
an On the subject. The Chinese gov
eminent is making a supreme effort
TO prevent China from being made a
theatre OF war. Secretary Bryan has
been considering a suggestion that the
United States use its influence not
only to protect neutrality, but TO pre-
vent a conflict between the foreign
powers in China. He has been in con
ference during the past two days with
British. japanese and Chinese diplo-
matte representatives and is believed
20 have touched upon the subject.
Japan Is now the most potent factor
and is commonly understood TO cherish
a strong desire for the exclusion of
the Germanic element from the far
east.

Grotesque Fashions.

The futurist will find it hard to
beat the masculine costumes of the
later Plantagenet reigns either in flare
of color or in practical awkwardness.
There were the peaked shoes, chained
to the knees, and the enormous bag
pipe shaped sleeves. reaching even to
the feet. One practical use was found
for these, however. They were called
the devils receptacles, from their con-
venience to the light fingered. A writ
er of the time describes the common
ers as "besotted in excess of apparel.
Some in wide surcoats reaching to
their loins, some in a garment reach
