Plans under consideration for
some time providing for increased
capacity of the plant of the Con-
tinental Fibre Company are about
completed. Work on the new
building will probably be started
in a short time. The addition nee
essary to take care of the increas-
ing business of the local company
has been under consideration for
some months but only today was
the decision made known. J. P.
Wright, vice-president of the COM
pany, commenting on the extension
said that, while all the details had
not been worked out, the addition
will be made and that the work
would probably start in a few
days. To just what extent the op-
erations would be, Mr.. Wright did
not care to discuss at this time.
The building just now being pro-
jected will be 40 by $50, two stor-
les, probably of standard mill con-
struction. The location will be

The one hope of the Democracy
today is the popularity, in some
quarters, of President Wilson.
They are trying to capitalize that
popularity into party asset as an
offset against the liabilities of
their sins of omission and commits
sion. No one questions that Presi
dent Wilson is greater than his
party. His complete control over,
and mis- facile manipulation of the
last Congress, proved that. No one
que stions that he is more popular
than his party. He has an almost
uncanny faculty for obtaining
credit for everything of good that
may happen, and shedding onto the
shoulders of some other individual,
or of the party as whole, respon-
sibility for the bad. He is the luck
lest man that ever sat in the White
House.
Just as the country was becom-
ing fully awake to the disastrous
consequences, both to the nations s
industries and to it's revenues, of
the tariff law, for which he was
mainly responsible, the war came
and distracted public attention
from affairs at home. Overshad-
owing as it did all else, it offered
the opport n i ~, Immediately
seized upon, to transfer the blame
for approaching national bank
ruptcy upon circumstances which
have nothing whatever to do with

To Coach Yale Crew

NEW YORK, Feb. e.--Yale students are
rejoicing over the announcement that
Guy Nickails, the noted oarsman. will

On Appeal in Case
Against Boston Sox

NEW YORK. Feb. s.--The appellate di-
vision today reversed 3 Judgment OF the

$500. Hageman signed contracts. It Is
claimed. that gave the managers the right
TO shift him around and reduce his salary.

opinion, held that the contract made BY

sided and drawn In the interest Of tho
owners without much regard for the
rights OF the Base Ball Players fra
ternity. TO whom Hageman hHd assigned
his claim, and that the Boston club had
no right to transfer him 70 another club
