New York, July With the inves tigation into the mysterious shooting of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the home of Dr Edwin Carman at Freeport, L. I, hourly becoming more involved Dis trict Attorney Smith planned to con tinue the inquest and trace the moVe ment of the murdered woman from the time she left her home until she was killed by a bullet from a revolver thrust through a window in Carman' s office.
 The police and Sheriff Petit were mystified by story told by Dr. Car man of an attack made upon him as he was passing along a dark stretct of road from Lynnburg. The physician accompanied by Garland Gaden, an actor, rushed into police headquarters and eXcitedly declared that three shots had been fired at Dr. Carman They asserted a man came up behind pr. Carmans automobile on a bicycle. aimed directly at him and fred None of the shots took effect, however, and even the automobile was not hit.
 Witness Heard Shots.
 An investigation was started imme. diately and a witness was found who declared he saw Dr, Carmans auto. mobile and heard the shot, but did not see any man on bicycle.
 Dr. Carman's story for a time com. pletely upset the theories of Prose cutor smith and Sheriff Petit that a jealous woman had fired the shCt which killed Mrs Bailey. It bore out the first suggestion that the shot was fired by some one seeking Dr. Car mans life The authorities are con ducting a rigid investigation into the story told by Dr. Carman, but at the same time proceeding on the theory that it was a woman who killed Mrs. Bailey.
 Dr Carman appeared nervous and it was evident that the strain under which he had been for the last week was telling on him. He said he was worried for fear some one would plant" a 3S-calibre revolver on the premises. The authorities are search ing everywhere for such revolver. as the bullet taken from Mrs Bailey's body was 3S

~ OLLOWING is President VII
sons annual message, deliver
ed at the beginning OF the
short term Of the Sixty-third
congress:
Gentlemen Of the Congress-The ses-
sion upon which you are now entering
will be the closing session Of the SIX
ty-third congress, a congress. I ven
ture to say, which will long be remem-
bered for the great body Of thoughtful
and constructive work which It has
done in loyal response to the thought
and needs Of the country. l should
like In this address to review the nota-
BILE record and try to make adequate
assessment OF II. but no doubt We
stand too near the work that has been
done and arc ourselves too much part
Of II to play the part Of historians to-
ward It. ,
Moreover, u thoughts are now more
Of the future than OF the past. While
we have worked at our TASKS of peace
the circumstances of the whole age
have been altered by war. What we have
done for our own land and our own
people we did with the best that was In
US, whether OF character or of inteili-
gence, with sober enthusiasm and a
confidence In the principles upon which
we were acting which sustained us at
every step OF the difficult undertake
Ing. But 1t Is done. II has passed from
our hands. It Ia now an established
part Of the legislation Of the country.
Its usefulness, It's effects will disclose
themselves In experience. What chief
" strikes US now, as we look about us
during these closing days of a year
which will be forever memorable in the
history Of tho world, is that we face
neS tasks, have been facing them
these six months, must face them In
the months tt, come--face them without
partisan feeling. like men who have

kets which we must supply, and wo
must find the mems Of action. The
United States. this great people for
whom We speak and act, should be
ready as NJ before to serve itself
and to serve mankind, ready with Its
resources, its energies, its forces of
production and its means Of distribu
ton.
II Is a very practical matter, a mat
ter Of ways and means. We have the
resources, but are we fully ready to
use them7 And. II we can make ready
what we have, have we the means at
hand to distribute it7 We are not
fully ready; neither have we the means
OF distribution. We are willing, but
we are not fully able. We have the
wish to serve and to serve greatly, gem
erously. But we are not prepared as
we should be. We are not ready to
mobilize our resources at once. We are
not prepared to s1se them Immediately
and at their BEST without delay and
without waste.
To speak plainly, we have grossly
erred in the way In which we have
stunted and hindered the development
Of our merchant marine. And now,
when We need ships, we have not got
them. We have year after year debats

GOVERNMENT FOR
FlLIPINOS IS URGED.
President Says Senate shoutd Pasa
Measure Now Before Senate.

And there Is another great piece OF
legislation which awaits and should re-
ceive the sanction Of the senate. I
mean the bill which gives a larger
measure Of self government to the peo-
Pile of the Philippines. How better in
this time Of anxious questioning and
perpIexed policy could we show our
confidence In the principles Of liberty
'as the source as well as the expression
OF life; how better could we demon
strate i our own self possession and
s~teadfastness in the courses of Justice
and observation-disclosures than By thus go
ing calmly forward to fulfill our prom,
ises to a dependent people. who will
now look 0 %anxiOusly than ever to

the faith we have boasted aud profess
ed: 1 cannot believe that the senate
will let this great measure Of construc,
tive Justice await the actionlof another
congress. Its passage would noblys
crown the record OF these two years
OF memorable labor.
But think that You will agree with
me that this does not complete the toll
OF our duty. How are we to carry our

They were talking about the doctor

when Congressman Thomas G. Patten
Of New York told OF an incident that
happened in Gotham.
Some time ago, he said, an esteemed
citizen who wasn't enjoying his usual
appetite and cheerfulness, consulted
q physician, and was told he had to-

parted to his sympathetic friends. A
few days later one of his friends met

The Camera In War.

Reporting wars with cameras is like
hunting big game with Photographic
outfit. 1t gives us something We never
had before.
II Gettysburg were fought today the
camera would be on Cemetery ridge.
Perhaps the talking machine would
also be on hand to reproduce for the
world "the terrible grumble and rum
Bile and roar" OF a battle.
There would be a moving picture
worth looking at-fllms reeling of
Pickett's charge and the talking ma.
chine records unrolling the crackle
Of 10000 rifles!
l wonder II our Victor friends could
reproduce q sound as great as the
combined roar Of Lees and Meades

But even with the daring scouts
high In air taking photographs Of the
enemy's positions, and with cameras
and monographs reproducing battles
for fireslde consumption, war finally
comes down to the same old game

took piece out Of mans trousers.
It was a peddler's trousers. 1t is q

the dog fell for him. The apples in the
Garden of Eden didn't look near as
good to Adam as that man did to my
dog, and he got a chunk out Of the
black legs Of that man.

not to sue, but to lick the owner Of the
dog Immediately. This made me very
uncomfortable, indeed. / hid in the
cellar until the storm blew over.

that, and then he scratched up the
neighbor's geraniums. We consoled
ourselves that he was good watch

got into the house and stepped on him,
and that scared the creature so badly
that we had to let him sleep in the
bed with us after that.

announcing his presence by licking US
on the face, he crawled in with US,
