(By Associated Press. J

Washineton, Jan. Congress
today settled down to work on the
big supply measures and the admin

There is little more than two months

the pending immigration bill in the

NEW YORK AUTO SHOW

New York, Jan. 1.-THE fifteenth h
annual automobile show was opened
today with great splendor in Grand
Central Palace. The decoration is
not extensive. white, gold and Grim
son predominating in colors. The
signs on each booth contain merely
the name of the car, after uni /,
form design. I'm accessory depart =
ment the signs contain merely the
name Of the exhibitor. No transit
tion from one season to another has
revealed marked strides in the mat
ter of equipment, refinements of de
tail, new ideas in accessories, as
well as radical changes in design as
this. The war in Europe and the
Panama-Pacific exposition and the
San Diego exposition conspire to
send tourists across this country this
year. See America First" propo-
ganda Is more or less in evidence.
Manufacturers have taken advan-
tage of these conditions and have
made their cars more beautiful and
serviceable than ever before. The
slackened business of the past year
gave opportunity for experiment.
Equally startling is the exhibition
of small six cylinder cars that viii!
sell for less than 1000. The tenders
hug the wheels more closely, pre-
venting splash more efficiently. The
lone man" type of top Is found on
the majority of touring cars, while
or convertible
bodies have been improved of great
er practicability, being less cumber-
some. In the coupe there Is great
and promises to be
more popular. There are a number
of new electric lighting and start
ng systems offered. All models
show great improvement in appear
ance. Improvement prevails in the
seats, as to comfort
and convenience. There are about
300 exhibitors. After closing here
the exhibitors will in a large part
go to Chicago.

VARDAMAN WANTS REPEAL
OF FIFTEENTH AENDMENT

Washington, ID. c., Jan. Am
attempt to repeal the fifteenth
amendment and modify the four
teenth amendment is to be made in
the United States Senate. 1t is re
ported that James X. Vardaman,
the junior senator from Mississippi,
is preparing to take this action. For
twenty years the Mississippi solon
has been working to this end and
now he is enthusiastic over the pros .
pect that he will soon be able to
carry his fight to the floor of the
Senate. Senator Vardaman believes
the constitution should be rid of the
amendment providing that "the
right of the citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied O.,
abridged by the United States or by
any State on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude. -
The very fact that many States see
fit to ignore this passage, though il
stands in the fundamental law oi
the land, should be enough to con.
demn 1t, the senator believes. II,
contends that it is unwise to main
tain the amendment and he has al
array of evidence tending to shov
that it is a mistake to give negroe
the right Of franchise. When tn
question is brought up in the Sen
ate the debates are pretty certain t
be productive OF much interestin
material.

Filipinos Not
Ready Yet For
Self Government
(By Associated Press. J

Washington. Jan. 2.-Formcr
President Taft today told the Senate
committee that the United States
could not grant self government to
the Philippines. He said it would
take one or two generations to edu
cate the Filipinos and declared that
they would have to be an English
speaking race first. He based his
belief on the definition of self-gOv .
ernment written by President Will
son, and said the reason the United
States could not give the Philippines
self government was that the people
there could not be presented with
character. The committee is con !.
sidering the Philippine ultimate in
