Washington, Jan. 12.-Congress got
back to work again today after a hol-
iday play spell. In the house, prompt
ly at noon Speaker Clark dropped his
gavel, and a similar scene was enact
ed in the senate with Vice President
Marshall in the chair. Fresh from a
vacation which followed nine months
Of tariff and currency members of both
houses returned refreshed and ready
for work at new point in the demo-
cratic administration.
For the first time since President
Wilson ordered the special session last
April, congress was without the over
shadowing influence Of any single
dominant issue such as tariff or cur
rency reform, to be fought out to the
exclusion Of other business.
AS result, the work of the next few
months in national legislative halls is
expected to cover a wide range of
subjects. Antitrust legislation re-
mains as an important factor in Pres
ident Wilson'S legislative programme,
that must bo considered by congress.
but 1t will not displace other import
ant legislation, as did the bills for
tariff and currency revisions.
Four general subjects will embrace
much Of the work of senate and house
during tho coming months. They are:
Control Of trusts and monopolies, in
Guiding legislation to prevent cold
storage manipulation, unfair price cut"

PRESIDENT
GOES BACK
REF 'RE;tSHE,I)

Aboard Special Train, West Point,
Georgia, Jan. f2The president
journeyed today homeward ready to
take up his governmental problems
with renewed vigor. Wilson appeaed
physically refreshed by his vacation
Of nearly three weeks at; Pass Chris
tian, and seemed in better health than
at any time since his departure from
Washington. Wilson was so pleased
with his treatment in the Mississippi
climate that he said he might again
go there for his winter vacation.
Wilson remarked his desire for
isolation at Pass Christian had been
courteously observed throughout his
stay. He was not annoyed by the
horde of callers who daily seek to see
him at the White House.
Aside from John Lind. the only
person who came to see the president
during his vacation was Mrs. Margaret
Cardwell of Beaumont Texas. While
she did not get an audience Wilson
received a note from her. She made
the Journey from Mexico to seek
justice from a railroad for the death
OF her husband, conductor. The
president had DR. Grayson confer with
Mrs. Cardwell directing the latter to
write out statement of facts in the
case

CONSPICUOUS EXAMPLES

Chicago, Jan. 12.--Special cores
pondence to Chicago newspapers from
Washington states that the precedent
New Haven railroad system is expect
ed to produce d revolution in future
railroad control.
The following lines, among others,
will be attacked, and will be expected
to take prompt action to conform to
the provisions Of the Sherman anti
trust law:
The Pennsylvania system, the New
York Central systems, and the South
ern Pacific railroad. The Pennsylvania
system partly confOrmed to the law
when it transferred the Baltimore &s
Ohio to the Union Pacific in exchange
for the Southern Pacific, but it is de-
clared to own other parallel lines,
which justify the charge Of suppress
ing competition.
This likewise is the case of the New
York Central, which owns or controls
80 per cent Of the stock Of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, and also
SO per cent Of the stock of the Michi-
gan Central railroad.
The acquisition Of the Mobile &s
Ohio, by the Southern railroad, is
pointed to as evidence of it's violation
of the Sherman law. There are num-
Der of other systems throughout the
country said to be on all fours with
the New Haven, but the three named
are conspicuous illustrations to which
the government will give immediate
attention,

except that it may afford Thaw an
opportunity of reaching a foreign
country from which he cannot be ex-

report that he would not be "a menace
to public safety, Harry Thaw began
making plans for visiting friends
within New Hampshire.
& Neither Thaw nor his mother would
comment on the finding Of the COM
mission, although the faces of both
indicated their jubilation. Thaw said
even if the court admitted him to bail
he would not leave the state for the
present.
Since his detention here he has
made many acquaintances, some of
whom invited him to visit them. Thaw
is planning. he said, to make his first
visit at the home Of one of his custo-
dams, Sheriff Holman Drew, at Ber-'
lain. Drew is the official who arrest
ed him near Colebrook after Thaw's
deportation from Canada.
The next move will be the filing by
Thaws counsel of a petition asking
that the amount of bail be fixed, and
that a date for a hearing on the ques-
tion be set by the court.

there was not enough fuel available
to keep them and the kitchen ranges

the charity workers is to persuade the
strikers to accept any relief except

Incidents. Just six weeks ago yester-

capital of the state of that name. His
flight across the desert of Ojinaga,
where he had hoped to replenish his

almost a week. He was accompanied
by many rich Mexican families, among
them Luis Terrazas, one of the most
extensive land holders in the world,

Better Than Gold.

The pupils of the Union high school
gave an call star" performance Fri
day evening, May 8, at the high school
auditorium and played to large and
enthusiastic audience. They were ap-
plauded again and again, and the
unanimous verdict. of the public is
that it is one of the very best shows
ever given in this city by local talent.
The play, under the personal direc-
ton of Prof. A. C. Flora, who took
the leading role, reflected great credit
upon his exceptional ability, and so
successful was this play that it was
repeated at the "Airdome" Tuesday
night and again attracted large
audience.
The receipts from both perform
ances will be applied to the library
and athletic funds.
The Union Concert band furnished
music for the occasion and added
much to the enjoyment of the evening.
