bucharest shH Holding Out.
lBx Asgociated Press


The Balkan situation appeared lit
tie better for the Rumanians today, de-
spite reported Russo-R -Rumanian sue
cesses in holding back the invaders
southwest of Bucharest. The Ruman-
ian capital today appeared seriously
threatened from the southwest, north
west, south and southeast. The force
of the converging attack being press
ed from three sides upon Bucharest
appeared undiminished, but the resist
ing power of the Rumanians, rein
forced by the Russians, seemed some
what strengthened. Upon their sue
cesses, apparently depends the safety
of both Bucharest and the main Ru-
manian armies within the angle of the
Teutonic thrust
Serbian forces in Macedonia have

The British cabinet problem appears

MUCH WORK REMAINS
YET TO BE FINISHED

IL Il " 1ysL n i
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 4.-Con-
gress re-assembles today with three
months remaining in which to COM
plete the legislative plans of the first
administration of President Wilson.
With prospect of a much reduced
in the new house, or possibly
a lineup so close that Democratic con-
troll will be in doubt, administration
leaders have laid their plans to work
al high speed in the hope of enacting
the most important part of their pro-
gram before it is endangered in the
Sixty Fifth congress.
Foremost is the completion of Presi
dent Wilson's railroad legislative pro-
gram left unfinished at the last ses-
sion with the passage of the Adamson
law The remainder of the program,
which the president will press, in
cludes supplementary legislation to
prevent such a nationwide railway
strike as was threatened last summer.
or in fact, lockout, until the situa
ton has been investigated.
Food Embargo to Be Considered.
Second in importance to the railway
situation comes the agitation for a re-
striction of shipments of foodstuffs to
Europe. Thousands of petitions ask
iEg for an embargo have been received
by members of congress, and at the
white house. In every case, it is ar
gued that the increased cost of living
in the United States demands a re-
striction of shipments abroad So far
as has been disclosed, President Will
son and members of the cabinet have
no plans for acting on the subject and
it may deevlop a fight. Chairman Fitz
gerald of the appropriations commit
tee, already has announced his inten-
tion of introducing bill for food
embargo.
Women suffragists, renewing their
fight for passage of the Susan B. An
thony amendment to the constitution
have laid all the lines for their cam
raign, and it is possible that their de-
nands may be crowded into the short
time Congress has to deal with an i'm
portant budget of legislation. Prohr-
bitionists, no less ardent than the
sffragists, in their demand for fed
eral amendment, are expected to begin
their fight anew.
Little Business Transacted.
The first day of the session never
sees much business done. Reelected
members get congratulations defeat
ed one receive condolences; majority
and minority laders receive ovations as
they walk down the aisle. Galleries
are crowded with wives and friends of
members who join in the demonstra-
tions of hand clapping ana cheering
as their favorites take their seats; eX-
cept in the senate, where a dignified
calm prevails. A few formalities mix
ed with a few informalities always
compose the first days business, and
then the house, as well as the senate,
adjourns until tomorrow to hear Pres
ident Wilson deliver his annual ad-
dress.
In accordance with the custom he
set at the beginning Of his term, Pres
ident Wilson will read his address
from the clerks desk in the hall of
the house, while senator's and repre-
sentatives are assembled before him
on the benches. Members of the Dip

After a conference held last night
with Sheriff Harvey and friends and
relatives of several of the arrested
parties in the Wade case, it was decid
ed to bring four of the men back to
Americas to be placed in the Sumter
county jail Sheriff Harvey stated that
certain requests in regard to repairs
at the Jail had been made and agreed
to by those interested in the case.
In accordance with this decision,
Deputy Sheriff Price and Policeman
Lowrey left this morning Columbus
by automobile to return with DR.. c..
K Chapman and Walter Johnson. Dep
uty Carey and Policeman Bragg went
to Macon to bring back Charlie Chap
man, Jr., and W. I. Johnson.
By nightfall it is expected that at
least four of the arrested parties will
be safely in the Sumter county jail.
The friends of several of the parties
charged with murder in the indictment
resented the hurried departure of the
men by saying they knew of no neces-
sity for such move. Even DR.. C. X.
Chapman himself is reported to have
stated last night in Columbus to news
paper men that the main fear must
have been that friends of theirs would
have taken them from the Jail to free
dom.
Sheriff Harvey arranged the arrests
ard the other features of carrying the
men away, and it was upon the urgent
requests of the friends of the parties
incarcerated that he decided to bring
them back.
Rumors have been flying thick and
fast, some totally without foundation,
some with the smallest amount of
truth, and others a fairly hit and miss
guess.
The evidence which the state will
present at the trial of the men is eX-
-pected to be circumstantial, although
advices have been received that de-
veIopments of startling nature may
be expected.
L. ]. Blalock, a prominent attorney
OF this city, has been engaged as
counsel in the case by relatives of
several of the parties arrested. He had
no statement to make this morning to
a representative of the Times-Re-
corder. The representative conveyed
the request to the attorney that he
furnish whatever statement, at any
time. he cared to make himself or
the defendants for publication in the
Times Recorder.
Acting Solicitor julie FELTON,, of Mon
tezuma, returned last night from his
home where he spent Sunday. He had
no comment to make to Times-Re-
corder representative.
Judge j. A Hixon, who has been
identified with the case through the
relatives of Wade, will likely be re-
tanned as counsel In the prosecution.

INDIAN
EXPENSE RETURNED

County Auditor Paulson has reeeiv-
ed a check from the United State
treasury department for $1,497.44, in
reimbursement of moneys actually
paid by Benson county for the main
tenance and care of Indians at the
state insane asylum at Jamestown
from May 16, 1913, to December 81.
1915.
This amount was secured through
the effort of Senator McCumber, who
succeeded in obtaining an amendment
to the Indian appropriation bill, but
not until after a long drawn out bat
tie following all the way from the
Indian agency at Fort Totten through
the different channels Of the state
government at Bismarck and the In.
dian department at Washington, final
ly being turned over to Senator Nc
Cumber to be presented to congress
as court of last resort.
County Auditor Paulson held in the
beginning that the Indian department
should take care of it's insane patients
and presented Benson countys bill to
Agent Ziebach at Fort Totten, who in

turn turned it over to the department
at Washington, the Hon. Indian COM
missioner ruling that no provision
had been made by congress for the
care of the unfortunate Indians-all
this after Mr. Paulson having receiv-
ed an opinion from Attorney General
Linde and a letter from the state
board Of control that the claim should
be footed by your Uncle Samuel.
Senator McCumber then took the
matter up with the Indian depart
ment at Washington, melting with the
same rebuff as did Mr.. Paulson.
The senator then prepared bill
and introduced it in the senate and
was successful in having it adopted
as a rider" to the Indian apprOpri-
alton bill, and Benson county has not
only been reimbursed for moneys al
ready paid, but will in the future be
relieved of the expense of taking care
Of her insane Indian patients.
The enactment of the law estab-
fishes a new precedent in Indian af-
fairs, and throws upon the govern
ment or the Indians a burden that
has heretofore been borne by others.

T UNCERTAINTY as to Villas participation

Saturday has been heightened by General
Trevino's denial, transmitted through the
Mexican embassy, that Villa present. In
view. however. of General Bells description
OF the raid--to which General Funston gives
full credence-it is to he hoped that it was

This country has cherished high hopes Of
peace on the border and within Mexico, and
has counted on the death OF Villa as one Of
the first prerequisites. Murderer and beast

resourceful and skillful fighter The vigor
with which the attack Chihuahua was
pressed and the partial success that rewarded
the raiders suggest that ordinary bandit

cunning leader, in which case the death or
elimination of Villa would seem to have

source" is 1.-The successful development OF the
process OF burning powdered coal for gem
Grating steam in locomotive and other
boilers"
The process is not only smokeless but
highly economical. In one test. where cold
locomotives we're fired up. only $50 pounds of
powdered coal were required as against 700
pounds OF lump COAL The fire can be cut off
almost completely when the generation of
steam is not required and in five minutes be
restarted and supply full pressure for the
boilers. The technical authority we have
quoted says locomotives will use this
method exclusively, and further predicts that
all large steam power plants in cities will
eventually use powdered coal, not only be-
cause it will prove more economical, but
because a smokeless city can be secured in
this way"
Speed the day.
