WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.
The members of the National
Press Club had a most interesting
session last night, which was at
tended by President Wilson. He
was entirely unconventional and
those present had the pleasure of
viewing the great executive as real
ture of his true personality. In a
long and frank conversational talk
with the members of the club Mr..
Wilson told how it seemed to be q

incidentally announced that he had
not been speaking for publication,
and of course none of the news
paper men have reported him.

commission. If notifications are
necessary to bring relief it is ex-
pected that he will recommend them.
The president is also giving much
attention to the Panama tolls ques-
ton. His recommendation for the
repeal of the clause giving American
vessels free tolls is meeting with
more opposition than anything that
has arisen since the Democratic
party gained control of the govern
ment.
