UNCLE SANS ATTACK
ON H. c. |. IS F0LED
President Admits Laws Are insufficient.
s No Inaugural Ball in March.

President Wilson's plan to cut the nigh
cost of living by criminal prosecutions
is meeting obstacles and the President
is making this plain to visitors. Yester-
day he explained that the Department of
Justice is hampered by the fact that II
can institute prosecutions only for VIOLA
tions covering interstate commerce.
The result is that. while the investiga-
tons are being pushed in big cities of
the country, they have so far failed.
The President yesterday for the first time
since the International situation became
acute. resumed weekly conferences with
newspaper correspondents. The critical
international situation was tabooed. The
President elucidated several points of ma
tional policy.
1t was explained that the renewed ne
gotiations between the Big Four rail-
way brotherhood representatives and the
railroads will have no effect on the Presi-
dents legislative program.
Recent statements that the President
has been converted to the doctrine OF
universal military training were char
aoterized as without foundation. The
position of the President Is an open one
He will not make up his mind until the
various proposed legislative plans are
disclosed to him.
That the President will veto the immi-
grafton bill again Il considered certain.
The President made II plain that, like
the apple that had no CORE" there Is
not to be any inaugural ball on March 4
next. An early announcement of the per-
sonnel OF the Shipping and Tarif Boards
is expected.
