WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Presldent

pfhis annual address to congress today,
which was devoted principally to an
gwering those who contended that the
United States is unpreparel for na-
tional defense, to give notice to the
business world that the legislative pro-

suited in clear road for business to
travel to "uncouded success"
Honest business men. the President
declared, need have nothing to fear in
.treading the way outlined in the trust

While he dwelt brieny on the subject,
Ills words were interpreted as an as.

tness legislation was contemplated. AS
y to business legislation the President
said:
"Our programme of Legislation with
regard to regulation OF business Is now
VIRTUALLY complete. 1t has been put
forth as we intended as a whole and
leaves no conjecture as to what is to
follow. The road at last lies clear and
firm for business. 1t Is a road which
itscan travel without fear or cmbar-
fassment. Il is the road to unclouded
success. Init every honest man, every
man who believes that the public in
terests is part of his own interest, may
walk with perfect confidence"
The Democratic side of both house
and senate greeted with applause and
laughter his declaration that Some
Smong us are nervous and excited" and
~. we shall not turn America into
asmilitary camp"
And especially when half the world
isondfire," said the President, "we shall
sbeIcareful to make out moral insurance
egatnst the spread of the confagration
i Very definite and searching and ade-
quate indeed"
This sentiment was favorably receiv.
ed on both sides of the chamber. The
Presidents address was the longest he
has yet delivered to congress, occupy
ing about forty minutes in thereading.

LOCAL UNDERWATER CHARGED
WITH VIOLATING EM6ALM-
ING LAW.
CHARGED THAT HE PRAcTIcED
AFTER HIS LICENSE HAD
BEEN REVOKED.
CASE, FIRST OF ITS KIND, AT
TRAcTED CONSIDERABLE
ATTENTION.

After preliminary trial which be-
gan last evening at o'clock and con-
tinued until noon today, Justice Mus
grove held Undertaken R. L. Cunning
ham to the action of, the grand jury
and fixed the bond which was given
by the defendant. Mr.. Cunningham
was charged in warrant with having
violated the law by practicing- his pro-
fession OF an embalmer after his IL
cense had been revoked by the state
embalming board. After the compile
ton Of the evidence this morning, at
torneys for each side were given one
hour each for summing up the evi-
dence. Mr.. Nutter opened the argu-
ment for the state, followed by Mr..
Raymond and Mr.. Morgan for the de.
fendant, and the states argument was
closed by Prosecuting Attorney Nor
ris.
The trial of R. L. Cunningham, tho
Fafrmont undertaken who was charg'
ed in warrant issued by Justice Mus
grove with having practiced his pro-
fession without a proper state license,
was begun at S o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. The crowd of spectators was
SO large that the court could not hold
its session in the Justices office, but
was forced to move to the county
court room.
The state, represented by Trevey
Nutter and Prosecuting Attorney Nor
rfs, contended throughout the trial
that as Mr.. Cunningham had been re-
fused a renewal of his embalmer's s
license that he had no right to prac'
tice his profession and that as he
had embalmed bodies since he was
notified that the board refused to
renew his license that he was guilty
of a violation of the law.
Charles L. Watkins, Jr., Of Wheel
ing, was the chief witness for the
state. He is also secretary OF the
State board of embalmers. He stated
that the state board Of embalmers at
a certain time Of the year sends out
blanks which are to be filed out BY
the undertakers and together with q
remittance fee are to be returned to
the sender. Upon the return OF the
application blank, properly filled out
and signed, the board then issues. "a
state embalming license.
It appeared from the testimony In
the case that the board did not re.
fuse to grant the license, because
of any incompetency on the part Of
Mr.. Cunningham but because he failed

Forty-one Arrests
Madein November

According to the official record kept
by the Chief of Police forty.one ar
rests were made during November by
the city police. Out Of this number
SO of these we're on the charge OF
drunkenness.
Comparing the record Of November
this year with the record for the same
month in 1913 It will be readily seen
that prohibition has and is still hav.
ing an excellent effect in reducing the
number of arrests. The record for
November, 1918, shows that 1856 ar
rests were made, compared with the
Al for this year.
