There are shrewd observers of the

charged that manipulation is being re-

There is larger probability OF So
wheat nj this time, II is said, than
at any other since the outbreak of the
war, which, In conjunction with the
320,000,000 European crop shortage, Is
held directly responsible for the
unprecedented condition. Millions OF
bushels Of the Chicago May option are
held by the strongest cash dealers in
the trade, and In some instances these
holdings were increased yesterday. OBJ
viously, a seller for each buyer Is re-
quired and II Is highly significant that
tho present stock OF contract wheat at
Chicago Is only slightly In excess Of
100000 bushels. In other words, millions
OF bushels will have to be accumulated
or liquidated there during the next few
weeks to obviate the threatened squeeze.
Frequently the growers OF wheat have
absolutely refused to release their hold

the export interests have been COM

WASHINGTON Feb, 1.-The Hughes
bill 10 establish a Federal commission
for the censorship OF moving picture
films was reported tavorably to-day by
the House Committee on Education.
The bill is opposed by every moving
picture manufacturer In the United

Rev. Dr. William Sheaf Chase OF Brook

tional board Of censorship does not reach
all of the films manufactured and that
the uncensored movies" are extremely
dangerous to the minds of the young

eral commission and films not bearing
the commissions approval are to be
barred from interstate commerce. The

Wilson Rebuffed
by Senator CIapp
on Ship Purchase
Called to White House, Mem
Der Refuses to Talk About
Passing Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Presiden Mt
Wilson was informed to-day in an i'm
pressive manner that at least one
member OF the United States Senate
Is opposed to his interference in legjs-
lative matters. Senator Clapp, Pro-
gressive Republican OF Minnesota,
frankly told the President of his dis
approval Of Mr.. Wilson's course In
this respect and asked to be excused
from discussing the ship purchase bill
with him.
Mr.. Clapp was summoned to the
White House with two or three other
Republican Progresslves whom the
President was trying to capture for
his ship purchase bill Senator Clapp
saw the President alone and waited
only long enough to hear Mr.. Wilson
mention tho subject OF the ship pur-
chase bill. Then he told the Pres
ident that he could not discuss that
matter and intimated clearly that he
disapproved of executive interference
in legislative matters.
The stand OF Senator Clapp must
have been a shock to President Will
son in view of the general attitude O:
the Democratic Senator's In willingly
taking orders from the White House.
President Wilson. however. quickly
turned the matter aside and informed
Senator C.app that they would talk
OF other things. The conference on
other things" lasted only shor.
time.
when Senator Clapp was questioned
he declined to discuss ~ occurrence at
the White House. lie did say, however
that he believed now. as ne has believed
for a long time that the Constitution
provided a proper way for the President
to address Congress-through messages
or addresses. He added that the views
which he now holds were expressed by
him in a speech delivered last session
In that speech Senator Clapp said among
other things:
"Sinee ] entered this Chamber no man
has been the keeper OF my conscience.
and high as I hold a seat in this great
body I will retire to private life before
any man shall become the keeper OF my
conscience or my Judgment. have per.

ton and purpose OF q senator"
In the same speech Senator Clapp
said:
1T is time that American Senator'S
rising TO the dignity OF Ambassadors Of
their States, shall take their RESPONSE
bility for legislation and accept the
declarations OF no man. whether he be
within or without the White House. The
danger of this one man power is that
no matter how true, how pure. how ideal
man may he In the White House il
Is impossible that he shall know all that

surround that situation can work un-
told injury to this republic"
