RUMOUED PURPOSE
OF PRESIDENT TO SIT
In SENATE OPPOSED
Astonishment and Disap
proyal of Alleged Plan
Expressed by Members Of
Congress in This City.

Astonishment and dlsapprovai wero
expressed by Congressman from Phiia-
delphia districts today following the re-
port from washington that President
Wilson might exercise his constitutional
prerogative and sit with the Senate while
important executive business was being
considered, and that he would ask the
House to amend its rules Sc as to permit
members OF the Cabinet to take part IN
It's deliberations.
The opinion Of representatives inter
Viewed was that such actions mingIlna,
as It would, the executive and legislative
branches OF national government, would
result in friction and impose a restraint
upon the free administration OF the busi-
ness OF the Senate and House. II was
intimated that a storm Of objection
would follow any attempt by the Chief
Executive to carry his plan into effect
II can conceive of no reason for the
proposed plan Of the President" said
Congressman-elect George b. Darrow.
"and I can think Of no benefit which
might be derived from such a course. ex-
cept from a Democratic party standpoint
IF the President does take this action
IL will raise rumpus, you may be sure.
The people are schooled to the entire
separateness OF the executive, Legislative
and judicial branches Of government and
mental principle OF republican govern
ment will not be tolerated. Autocracy
in any form will fail of favor in the
United States. and l am astounded 20
think that there is a possibility Of the
President taking the course indicated if
the Washington news"
such radical departure will result
In no good declared Congressman
George w Edmonds. IT can hardly corr
template the situation in the capital un-
der such conditions. I have not had time
to consider the news in its full import.
but as It appears to me now. the action
the President is reported TO he con
templating would create confusion, dis
cord and be contrary to the principles
of good government"
!. Washington Logue, who was de.
reated for reelection to Congress on the
Democratic ticket. was as surprised as
his former Republican conferees when
told of the Washington report.
"tt is certainly radical departure
he said. but I am unprepared to state
my Views on the question"
Congressman Michael Donohoe, who
was defeated for reelection by Peter r.
Costello, said:
This suggested action of the Preai-
dent would certainly be ill-advised If
taken. The greater the freedom of the
legislative branch Of government the bet
ter the government. Pressure from the
executive branch would make for dis
cord and loss OF efficiency. and active bn-
reference by Cabinet members into the
affairs of Congress would be disastrous
in its results"

unremitting strictness that no gather

And 1 believe that the Inhabitants Of

much to deliver II to the doom of such

Germans is that Brussels may remain

OF the inhabitants does not disturb u.s.
1t Is war; we well understand the pow

yield to the German regime. We also
understand the women who are waiting

WHTRLWTND SUNDAY
METHODS APPLIED
ON Big TABERNACLE
Structure Begun Less Than
Two Weeks Ago Will Be
Ready for Occupancy
Within One Month.

The whirlwlnd methods that always
make the BILLY" Sunday evangeistic
campaigns spectacular are being demon
strated in the work of erecting the NAM
moth Tabernacle facing Logan Square, at
18th and Vine streets. Although less than
two weeks have passed since the first
spadeful of earth was turned, carpenters
and other artisans have been on the job
from early In the morning until late at
night, and the heavy timbers and strong
planks are beginning to shape themselves
into a building, giving some idea of the
size and architecture of the big gospel
citadel In less than a month this will be
completed and ready for the beginning of
the great revival to open on January 3.
The tabernacle, including the choir loft
with seating room for the choir, Phila-
delphia pastors and executive committee,
and the t1-foot vesubules, which will
touch on three sides, will have a capacity
of between 1900 and 10000 persons.
Great care is being exercised by the
aSchtect and building, Joseph Spiece, 20
have the tabernacle constructed accord
ing to the requirements of the Bureau OF
Building Inspection. Mr. Spiece also is
using his ingenuity to have the structure
so built that Mr.. Sundays voice may be
saved as much as possible. So minute
has every detail OF tne sounding Deen
arranged that the evangelist's voice will
be clearly audible in the most remote cor
ner of the tabernacle.
Joseph NJ. Steele, chairman, and other
members of the building committee have
expressed belief that the structure will
be ready long before the arrival of the
Sunday party.
An interesting thing in the plan of the
structure Is the manner in which the
planks are placed. Mr. Spiece has been
experimenting for a year to save every
sound OF the evangelists voice. He has
found that by planning the planks and
placing them so that the grain of the
wood faces in one direction, they act as
a sounding board.
The rear OF the structure. will touch 18th
street. and through entrances there the
choir, Philadelphia pastors, executive
committee, Mr.. Sunday and his workers
will enter the building. The evangelist
will face goth street. when he speaks. The
audience may enter by doors to- the front
and on the Vine and Wood streets sides.
All these doors will be protected by wide
vestibules intended to shelter the over
flow crowds and those who enter and
leave the citadel.
On either side of the choir loft plat
form and pastors section, will be Offices
for the postoffice, finance committee
telegraph instruments, lost and found
