Washington, d, CIV AseY, 22.r-Presi-
dent Wilson will Indicate In his an
nual message to Congress, which he
is now writing, how, in his opinion, the
money necessary TO provide for ma
tional defense as proposed by the ad-
ministration may be raised.
Some of the Presidents advisers,
however. have told him that inasmuch
as the House has sole authority to
originate revenue legislation, he ought
not to appear to usurp that power.
A number of Democratic leaders in
Congress, including Mr.. Fitzgerald and
Senator Underwood, are opposed to a
bond issue for the defense plans be-
cause such expenditures would have to
be continued from year to year. The
Presi ant will lay aside practically all
other work this week in order to have
if possible. his message in the hands
of the public printer before Thanks
giving Day.
The President, in his message, prob
ably will lay stress on the Importance
of legislation for increases in the
army and navy, merchant marine,

government for the Filipinos, con-
servation and ratification of the Hal

day for the first time since her liber-

apple she saw on the table of her
room in her aunt's home where she is
under the care of a physician.
Miss Marshall was imprisoned, it is
alleged, after attempting to elope, at
the age of 16, with man whom her
father disapproved. Relatives thought
her dead. Marshall said he considered
the girl crazy and that as he could
not afford to send her to an institution
he thought the only thing to do was
to lock her up in her room. When
released she weighed but 81 pounds.
Marshall is said to have admitted that
the woman's stepmother was the only
person who had seen her during the
last three years.
The representatives of the local
children's aid society, through whose
instrumentality Miss Marshall was lib
Grated, was expected to lay the case
before the States attorney to-day.
