PRESIDENT ENDS
HIS HONEYMOON
Will Confer With Cabinet on
Grave Liner Situation.
NO MORE NOTES EXPECTED
Austrian Charge Asks Judgment Be
Suspended Until Facts Are Known
Wilson May Call Leaders
of Congress Together.

Washington, Jan. 5.-President Will
son has cut short his honeymoon and
arrived here on Tuesday from Hot
Springs, Va, on a special train. He
will take up the task Of solving the
most serious problem that the United
States has faced since the European
war began.
Not so serious in the total loss of
life or in the number of Americans
who met their death, the sinking OF
the Persia has caused greater alarm
both in Teutonic diplomatic circles
and in those circles that hope to keep
the United States out of the Euro
pean war than did the Lusitania
case.
If the facts are as they appear on
the surface; if submarine, whether
of Austria or German or even Turk
ish nationality, sent the vessel to the
bottom and snuffed out $50 lives with
out warning, it is believed there will
be no more notes. Those closest to
the president believe that his pa
tience has been exhausted.
Only one thing seems to give hope
that the Persia was armed in such a
way as to make her warship. There
is little chance for this, however. In
circles that know the equipment of
the British ships it is said they have
carried guns at their sterns only. This
would not, in the opinion of Secre-
tary Lansing, made the Persia war
ship. Not only does Secretary Lansing
believe this, but he has forced from
Germany an admission in the Lusi-
tania controversy that his opinion IS
correct in the ordinary usages of in
ternational law.
Baron Zwiedinek, charge of the Aus
trian embassy, is working with might
and main to avert a crisis. He assured
Secretary Lansing that should it be
found an Austrian submarine sank the
Persia, with loss of American life, his
government would promptly give rep
aration and satisfaction. He asked
that judgment be suspended until all
the facts were known.
There seemed to be growing i'm
preston in official quarters that the
president may call the congress lead
ers together and acQuaint them fully
with the situation.

CONGRESS TO KEEP PEACE.

u. S. Plans Conference to Settle Dis
putes Between Republics.
Washington, Dec. 31.--In new step
for the preservation of peace on the
American continent and the develop
ment of Pan-American unity the Unit
ed States has formally invited the
Latin-American republics to join in a
convention to compel arbitration of
boundary disputes and prohibit ship
ment of war munitions to revolution
aries. Secretary Lansings proposal,
delivered with the approval of Presi-
dent Wilson to the resident Pan-Amer-
lean diplomats here for submission to
their home foreign Offices, has for its
object the preservation of peace in
Pan-America that it may face the old
world free of internal dissension.

sHEvLlN DIES OF PNEUMONIA.
Football Star Victim of MaIady
Caused by Coaching Yale Team.

Caused by Coaching Yale Team.
Minneapolis, Dec. 81. - Thomas
Shevlin, millionaire lumberman and
famous Yale football star, died here
on Wednesday of pneumonia after an
illness of only six days. Mr.. Shevlin
caught cold when coaching Yale foot
ball squad last fall, and was unable to
shake it off. Shevlin played football
at Yale four years and was captain Of
the team in 1905, when Yale had the
greatest team in it's history. Always
ready to return when "Old Eli's"
eleven called for fast coaching, he
whipped several seemingly impossible
teams into winning shape. Shevlin's
lumber interests netted him huge in
come. He carried $1,500,000 life insur
ance, recently having increased it from
100000.
Mr.. Shevlin was interested in many
lumber concerns. He is survived by
widow and two children.

New Orleans, Dec. 31.-The twenty
round fight for the heavyweight cham
pionship, scheduled for March in this
city between Jess Willard and Fred
Fulton of Minnesota, was definitely de-
clared off here on Wednesday by Tom
Jones, Wizards manager, and Tommy
Burns, local promoter, who was part
ner of Dominick J. Tortorich in pro-
noting the fight. The calling off of
the Willard Fulton battle is the result
of much wrangling that has been going
on since Burns and Dominick Torto-
rich, promoters, had their first clash
soon after the match was closed.

IN ALL FUNDS THAN
YEAR AGO.
DECEMBER RECEIPTS LESS
Despite Shrinkage of 100000 in Re.

General Fund Balance Is
Well Above 1915.

MadisOn.-State Treasurer Henry
johnson opens the new year with the
states finances in much better condi-
ton than a year ago. He has, in all,
funds amounting to $295,577.37 more
than on Jan. 1, 1915, and in the gen
eral fund $177,365.55 more than a year
ago.
In spite of the fact that the general
fund receipts for the month of Deem
Der were less than year ago by more
than 100000, the general fund balance
is we'll above that of twelve months
ago.
In all funds the advantage of Jan.
l, 1916, over Jan. 1, 1915, appears in
the following summary:
Balance Jan. l, 1916. 81, 900, 533.27
