ARMED SHIPS VICTORY
MAY MEAN CONGRESS
WILL STAY HANDS OFF
President and Friends Believe
Success in House Gives
Free Rein in Foreign
Crisis
WILSON is GRAT1FIED

WASHINGTON, March s.-President
Wilson and his friends are satisfied today
that the tablng by the House last night
Of the McLemore resolution warning
Americans of armed ships Of the belliger-
ents means that Congress will not repeat
its attempt 70 NEEDLE with the manage
ment Of foreign affairs
The Presidents gratlncation over the
outcome Of the spectacular parliamentary
fight was described by those in close
touch with him as being intense. Among
the Administration officials who have TO
do with the conduct Of foreign affairs
there is a general feeling Of elation.
The summary rejection of the resolu-
tion clears the legislative states in both
Houses of all resolutions relating to the
foreign situation except that introduced
by Republican Senator McCumber. which
is similar in purport to the Gore resolu-
tion, discarded by the Senate last Friday.
There is little hope Of the McCumber reso-
luton receiving serious consideration.
RELIEF IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES.
with the action Of the House, President
Wilson and his Administration will be
permitted to proceed with their diplo-
matte negotiations with other countries
over issues now pending with Germany
and Great Britain.
Consequently. there is a feeling of re-
lief in both executive and congressional
circles II is generally admitted even by
the friends of the obstructive measures
voted against by the Senate and the
House that the agitation which led up
to the introduction of the sensational
fight over them have wrought injury
abroad to American interests.
The disposition Of the vexatious resolu-
tions is viewed as a satisfactory solution
Of a problem that involved the most vital
domestic crisis since the Civil War.
THE FINAL VOTE.
The congressional revolt against the
President ended at 6:43 o'clock last
night. when the House. by vote of 276

strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application Of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away

a sudden attack of toothache, stiff
neck, backache, stings, bites and the
many accidents that are incidental to
a vacation. eve would as soon
leave our baggage as go on vaca-

regrets. z

BRINKLEY people are exper- fencing the special delight of both dust and mud baths at the same time. The dust comes from the streets and the mud we'll. it's hard to guess where it does come from but you'll find it in the bath tubs, water basins or drinking cups if ycu turn the faucet. The dust we will get relief from when it rains but the mud they say we are going to ret rid of that when we get the new well for the City Water Company and that the contract has been let for the new well How long?

It's time to get busy right now and say to the farmers that they shall have every cent possible for their cotton. With another fine gin Brinkley should handle more than 4.0OO bales of cotton this season against the measley 1000 of last fall. Get together busi- ness men. Let's do it.

MEMPHIS POOR
 ARE MADE HAPPY
One Thousand Dresses of Excellent Quality Dis- tributed by Noted Philanthrophist
 in Memphis
 Recently

Never before, perhaps, in the history of Memphis has anything in the way of public charity created such widespread interest as was manifested recently when the one thousand0, 000) dresses. donated to charity through the generosity of MT. L. T. Cooper, were distributed at 206 South Main Street, to the Chisca Hotel Building.
 Ladies prominent in Memphis social life, leading relief work CTS, heads of local charitable in- stitutions and many prominent citizens were on hand early in the afternoon to assist and CO., operate with Mir. Cooper's rep resentatiyes in this worthy cause.
 Not only were the poor women. girls and orphans of the various institutions remembered, as had been previously planned, but several hundred other poor and needy women and girls from all parts of the city came to seek MT. Cooper's bounty, and none were denied.
 Long before the appointed hour a large number were on hand waiting for the doors to open, and formed a line which extended for more than half a block.
 The charitable institutions represented included the follow ing; Home for Incurables, Porter Home and Leath Orphan Asylum, St. Peters Orphanage, Wesley House, the Industrial Settlement Home for negroes. Through the Mary B. West Circle, Kings Daughters, children of the Juvenile Court were provided for; Settlement School, Second Presbyterian Church, by Mrs, Van Lewis and Mrs. Armstrong Guthrie School, by Mrs. w. T Outten; Linden School, by Miss Dixie Sample, Riverside School by Miss Beauchamp; pupils ot St. Mary's School (Catholic), by the sisters, and many others.
 In referring to the occasion MT. c. F. Willis, MT. Cooper. Southern representative, said My only regrets that MT Cooper could not have been pres ent to witness this scene. H. was once a poor man himself and is never happier than wher helping others"
 When asked whether Mir Cooper would make any further contributions. MT. Willis said MT. Cooper is one of the mos magnanimous of men and will, am sure, do something more to show his sympathy for the pool and unfortunate in your city; ir fact, 1 shall make a special re- quest of him on his arrival here to do so, as 1 had not my self realized until this afternoon the great opportunity for this work in this city,
 ''As I~have stated before" he continued, MT Copper is a firm believer inI practical philan thropy. and 1t has always been his policy to give a large part oi his income each year to relic. work and to place his charities where they will do the greates good to the greatest numbers.
