Climax Reached When Re- port That Wilson Would Resign Was Spread by News Agency

 Called Revolt Choice MOr- sel for Republican Palates
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington March 7.--(Special. )-The
 so-called rebellion of Congress against the administration has been choice morsel
 for the republican palate, and the corps of "standpat" correspondents have had a fertile field out of which to promulgate speculative information of the most fan
 tastic character.
 President Wilson, always restless, it is said under criticism, even when cleverly
 yelled, broke over the traces in one in
 stance, and through Secretary Tumulty. expressed his opinion-contained in a very brief paragrap ph-not only sharply and pointedy. but even with an apparent bit
 terness foreign in the main to the mans disposition.
 It was in denunciation of that most inn
 possible story, carried by the Interna-
 tional News Service. to the effect that
 the President, harassed by congressional leaders of his own party, was seriously
 considering the advisability of resign
 ing.
 CONSIDERED A JOKE
 At first blush, the item appeared im{ / possible. For. while iu the history oA the United States, a million men have dreamed of being President, and thou
 sand, it is probable, have attempted to
 acquire that great title, no one. once possessed of the position of chief execu-
 tive, has voluntarily retired to the quiet
 ude of urbane society.
 As far as known, not soul in Wash
 ington gave the news story a serious
 thought Not even the republicans en-
 tertained for moment an idea that the
 President, in the first place. would under
 any circumstances. yield his office; or, in the second place, that he would show the white feather and quit under fire.''
 But the story was not so easily dis
 missed by President Wilson. There is no doubt but what he construed it as d charge against his courage-an intima- ton that on account of the sharp diff ferences which have been developed in the viewpoint of Congress and the view point of the administration. he had be- come tired, and petulant, and was pray ing for peace at any price. HUMILITY FIRES BACK 90 ne Varleu that programme WHICH requires those of high rank to ignore erroneous reports printed, either through a lack of Knowledge or political malice. He instructed or authorized Secretary Tumulty to fire back And the secre- tary issued a statement to the effect that any newspaper which in the present dip- lomatic situation would print such an item, would dishonor itself in so doing. The resignation story was the sec ond of series. The first appeared in the Baltimore Sun of some days previous. It was to the effect that if Congress attempted to interfere with the foreign policy of the administration. the Presi- dent would not permit his name to go before the St. Louis convention. It was not denied. But there is no doubt of the fact that it was printed | Uithout tangible "rhyme or req sop '

Her greatest trouble was her stom-

be cured. But did not give up hopes,

noise would cause her to get excited
and her heart would beat fast. She
never had a good nights rest in four
years. After she finished her meals
she would have fulness in the stomach

OF course we have electric
lights (24-hour currently, water
works, sewerage and the pretticst
girls you ever saw, but we have
also on the town dock bathing
and dancing pavilion, diving
tower SO fit. 3 IL inches high,
and we are now building eleven
miles of concrete sidewalks, put
ting in curbing and getting ready
to pave the streets with asphalt.
As this work progresses, the
surface drains along the streets
will be enlarged and opened up
to the southern limits of the
town, one mile from the bay. At
each intersection of the streets,
watts or pools sixteen feet in cir
conference and four feet deep
will be constructed of concrete,
and these pools will be regularly
supplied with suitable bait to in
duce fish of all kinds to come up
from the bay through the sur
face drains for the inspection of
visitors from abroad.
In these pools, tourists will see
mullet, trout, pompanO, Spanish
mackerel, crabs, stingarees and
all other species of marine creaI
lures indigenous to these waters
swimming about and exhibiting
their natural characteristics. No
one will be permitted to catch
them within the town limits, but
every one may fish as he pleases
from the various docks and from
boats on the bay.
TO protect the fish in the town
pools from the depredations of
porpoises, muzzles for the por-
poises have already been devised
and they will be applied to these
marine hogs as they enter the
drains to come up town. 1t will
be unique sight and great fun
to see muzzled porpoises finging
mulIet into the air and trying in
vain to catch them as they fall
back into the water But that is
one of the sights which we are
preparing for those good people
who will honor us with their
presence next winter.
Fact is, we shall have every
thing and more beside. that any
reasonable or even unreasonable
visitor may desire We have ar
