The great Importance of the eyes as audible fac

that. with all the face covered but the eyes. there is
still opportunity OF adequately expressing ones emo
tons. In fact some marvellous effects have been OBJ
tanned through showing nothing but the eyes.

Deaderick Seguines, the negro con
victed of the murder of Chief of PO-
lice Geo. F. Campbell, of Johnson
City, was removed to the state peni-
tentiary at Nashville yesterday morn
ing. The sentence of Seguines, which
was originally the death penalty, was
recently commuted by Gov. Rye on
account of the doubt as to the con-
stitutionality of capital punishment
in Tennessee now, and the negro will
begin life Imprisonment term, as
soon as he reaches Nashville. He was
taken to the penitentiary by Capt R.
L. Blevins.
Before leaving Knoxville. the neg
ro expressed thanks for kind treat
ment accorded him by the officers
while he was kept in the Knox coun-
ty Jail, and says he is going to make

PRESIDENT WILL URGE SPEED
ING UP OF LEGISLATIVE
MACHINERY.
BEFORE STIRRING UP
PUBLIC SENTIMENT He
DESIRES GETTING TO ARMY AND
NAVY BILLS WITHOUT DELAY

| WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Jan. "a
President Wilson today began efforts
to speed up the legislative machinery
of congress to clear the way for ac
ton on the preparedness program
Before beginning his speaking tour
this week to bestir public sentiment
on the issue he will impress on con
gress the desirability of disposing OF
pending legislation so there may be
as little delay as possible in reaching
the army and navy bills.
The President discussed appropria-
ton bills today with Representatives
Flood, Stephens, Lever and Page
chairmen respectively of the house
foreign affairs, Indian and agricul-
ture committees and the District OF
| Columbia subcommittee of the ap
preparations committee. He told them
he hoped congress could finish its
work and adjourn before the national
political conventions. They assured
him of their assistance, but some of
them doubted whether the session
could be ended that soon.
The President was informed that
legislation is usually delayed most in
the senate and therefore he probably
will confer with leaders of that body
before going west.
Plans for pushing legislation will
be taken up further by the President
with his cabinet tomorrow, and while
he is away from Washington the cab
met officers will cooperate with the
leaders of the senate and house in
every way possible. He will also go
over with them the outlines of his
Forthcoming speeches on national de-
fenSe.
In these speeches the President
plans to discuss preparedness and
sible. He has been told by cabinet
members that in many states the peo-
pie do not understand why the army
and navy should be increased at this
time. He is expected to declare that
there is real need for the United
States to be prepared to uphold it's
position before the world In this
connection the Mexican and the Euro
pean situations will be mentioned.

st. Louis was added to the timer
ary today. Progress was made ON
the arrangements for the meetings
to be attended by him in Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Chicago, Des Moines, Mil
waukee, Topeka, Kan, Kansas City
and st. Louis.
During the day the President was
strongly urged to visit the south on
the second trip he probably will
make soon after returning from the
west. The South Carolina and Vir-
ginia legislatures asked him to ad-
dress them and many cities in all
parts of the. south sent invitations.
In reply to all he said he would go
south if he possibly could.

SHIELDS INTERESTED IN
REVISING STATE LAWS
TENNESSEE SENATOR UNABLE TO
ATTEND THE CONFERENCE
AT NASHVILLE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "a
Much as he regrets the situation,
Senator John X. Shields finds that it
will be impossible to leave the senate
just at this time to attend the meet
ing at Nashville Tuesday of citizens
interested in the question of amend
ing and revising the state constitu-
ton.
AS the author of the water power
development bill that is before the
senate with prospects of an early
passage, SO that natures resources
in the south may be opened by the
investment of capital, Senator Shields
week ago gave notice in the senate
that he would make his bill the un-
finished business before the senate,
to be discussed and disposed of inn
mediately after the Philippine bill is
out of the way. He thought he
would have the bill at final issue by
Thursday, but the proposed law,
that concerns the independence of
the people of the islands, is still un-
der debate in the senate, and Senator
Shields does not feel that he can
safely leave just at this time, and
especially do his colleagues who
have been depending upon him to
make the leading argument for the
measure before the senate, take this
view. Again, he desires to record
his vote on the Philippine bill.
This conference on the revision of
the state fundamental laws will be
held by all interested citizens, re-
gardless of political parties or alli-
ances, and representatives of all in
terests are expected to attend. SEN
ator Shields had been invited to be
present and to call the meeting to
order, but, as stated, important legis-
lative business in the senate will pre-
vent his attendance.
Discussing the matter, Senator
Shields said: II am much interested
in the conference, because | believe
it is time that a constitutional con-
vention is held to consider the me-
cessity and propriety of revision of
our fundamental law. The plan pro-
posed for revision and amendment is
favorable for the expression of the
will and protection of the interests of
the people. First, it provides wheth-
er convention will be held; second,
the election of delegates to the con-
vention, if one is called; third, the
proposed must be sub
mitted to the people, and under the
plan they may approve some and re-
ject others, as they may deem best.
This is far better than having
proposed by legislators
who were not elected for that pur-
pose and who could not, on account
of legislative duties, give the matter
proper consideration.
