The movement for higher wages

To recitals of their fght for In

Although handicapped by q cold
which at times rendered speak ing

Amid cheers President Gompers said

This involved the indictment OF let

SENATE FOR ITS PORK
Hooker Senator Scores Legislators
for Failure to Practice Business
Economy-Speech a Surprise.

Senator Taggart, of Indiana, junior
member of the Upper Branch of Con-
gress. took his colleagues to task yes
terday for their failure to practice busi-
ness economy.
The speech created more or less of a
surprise because the Indiana Senator is
a candidate for reelection in a pivotal
State and 1t was generally expected
that any extended remarks he mig hit
make would rebound in their entirety to
the credit of the Democratic party.
Taggart gave the Democratic admins
tratlon credit for all the legislation
forced by President Wilson, but he in
timated that the rivers and harbors
bill was saturated with pork"
He said s20.0O0000 too much was ap-
propriated this year for rivers and

 OF WAR

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. -- Presi- dent Wilson and his wife left here to- day on the presidential yacht May flower, for a weekend cruise around Chesapeake bay. and escape the duties of his offices for the purpose of ob- taining a much needed rest It is un- derstood that the successor to Secre- tary of War Garrison has been practi- Cally chosen by the President, and it is stated on good authority that the new appointee will be announced as soon as the Mayflower returns. Rumor has it that Secretary of the Interior Franklin K Lane is being seriously considered for the place and is the most likely of all those so far men toned to receive the appointment. Others under consideration are Sec retary of Agriculture David F. Hous- ton. of Missouri. and Counsellor Frank Poly, of the state department
