GERMAN ENEMY

Boat Was Cruiser Coming
to Shell Town.
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE, Aug. 24-Details of the
war scare at Prince Rupert, B. c.,
last week, when a report was circu-
lated that the German cruiser Leip-
zig was about to lombard the town,
were brought here yesterday by the
American steamship Spokane, which
arrived from southeastern Alaska
ports. The Spokane put in at Prince
Rupert Friday when the excitement
over the reported approach Of the
German cruiser was at its height.
The wharf was lined with armed SOL
diers, who for half an hour would not
permit the Spokane to dock. After
the Spokane was permitted to make
a launding meme of her tourist pass
engers was allowed to go ashore, and
seven men holding tickets for Prince
Rupert were permitted to land only
after careful investigation. One OF
these passengers, a German, was de-
tanned by the soldiers as soon as he
set foot on shore, but was released
when he proved his mission in the
Canadian port was peaceable.

Reception Planned for Saturday.

will be at one popular reception just. be-
fore he leaves-an event which Repre-
sentative Harrison is trying to arrange
for Saturday at Gulfport.
To those who know the President his
attitude on Invitations, is nothing new
Hundreds and hundreds of requests have
come to him in the last two years to
attend banquets and make addresses at
public functions, but his acceptances
have been few When Congress Is in
session he believes he ought to be at
his desk at the White House, and breaks
the rule only to address meeting of
extraordinary Importance.
The Presidents life in Pass Christian
has been simple. Except for daily
game of golf he has been at home most
of the time.
He never has spent an evening away
from the family circle.
There have been on uniformed aids
here, no ceremony, no policemen, none
but the plain clothes secret service men.
The President came primarily for n
vacation, but he has been able to put
in many hours of uninterrupted work
He has done more work here in the last
few days than he often has accomplished
i'm two weeks at Washington. He has
caught up with neglected details in his
study of subjects thrust aside in the
maelstrom of the tariff and currency
agitation, and he will go back to the
capital with his mind made up on many
subjects of prime Importance.
Outgrowth of Conference.
1t is believed here that the visit of
Charge OShaughnessy to John Lind at

PRESIDENT CONCLUDES
TWO WEEKS OF QUIET
Period at Pass Christian Longest
Away From Capital Since
He Took Office.

PASS CHRISTIAN. Miss. January 8.
Two weeks of quiet seclusion were,
cmpleted today by President Wilson
in this little village. It is the longest
period of time he has spent away from
Washington since he took office. So
carefully has Mr.. Wilson followed
consistent program of work proper
toned with exercise and rest that the
people of this section hardly realize
that the President Of the United States
has been dwelling among them.
TO the people Of the string Of towns
and hamlets along the southern coast
the President has been more or less of
puzzle. He said he appreciated their
desire to entertain him, but has de-
clined their Invitations to inspect
their schools, view places of historic
interest attend balls, theaters and
those diverse social entertainments of
which southern hospitality boasts at
this season.
Few persons have seen him; in fact,
only those who have caught glimpse
of him as he motored to and from the
golf links.

ANTITRUST MEASURES
FRAMED BY COMMITTEE
Preliminary Work in House on Leg
islation Program Is
Completed.

The administration antitrust leSiSla-
ton program was completed today, so
far as the preliminary work by the
House committee on judiciary is con-
cerned. Bills have been prepared cover
ing every phase of the trust question and
are ready for submission to the full COM
mittee soon after Congress reassembles
Monday. The judiciary committee mem
bers will confer next week with President
Wilson and the antitrust legislation de-
tails will be made clear.
Representative Clayton of Alabama
chairman of the committee, who left
Washington last night for Old Point Com
fort, authorized the announcement that
in cooperation with Representative Car
lin of Virginia, chairman of the Subcom-
mittee on trusts, and Representative
Floyd of Arkansas, he had finished the
preliminary work of the committee on the
subject of trust legislation. He said that
''bills touching every phase of the sub
ject have been prepared, and that upon
the return of the full committee to the
city the bills will be taken up for con-
sideration.
Declines to Give Details.
The views of the President and the
party. as expressed in the ma
tional platform. have been followed in the
preparation of the bills, according to Mr..
Clayton.
He declined to give the details of the
proposed legislation, but said the Sher-
han antitrust law had been left intact.
He also stated that one OF the bills
would cover interlocking directorates.
1t is known that this bill has been
drawn so it would not take effect until
two years after its passage. This is to
permit corporations to adjust them
selves to any necessary reorganization.
Members of the committee believe that
other large interests will follow the ex-
ample of J. P Morgan & Co. in with
drawing from directorates in other large
concerns.
