NO POLITICS UNTIL CONGRESS ADJOURNS
For This Reason President Postp0nes Date of Official
 Notification

Washington, July 17.-President Wilson decided late today to change the tenta- tive plan for holding the notification ceremonies August B. because he desired to postpone them until after the adjourn ment of Congress.
 The decision was announced by Vance Mccormick, chairman of the democraic national committee, who issued this state ment after a conference with the Presi- dent:
 T found the President embarrassed by politics until the business of this Con gress was over. Of course, 1t is possible that the session may last so long as to make 1t impracticable to wait until it's close for the notification, particularly as the President feels it to be of the utmost importance that the child labor bill and the workmens compensation bill be passed at this session, but the President feels tito be his duty to postpone the mo- tification ceremony if possible until the adjournment of Congress.
 Mir. Mccormick also announced that the notification would be at Shadow Lawn. the Presidents summer home in New Jersey.
 Chairman Mccormick discussed the entire political situation with the President, particularly the efforts that will be made to secure the votes of for mer members of the progressive party. During the day MT. Mccormick con ferred also with Secretary McAdoo, Postmaster General Burleson, Senator James, chairman of the notification committee; Senator Walsh and several other democratic leaders. He left Washington for New York tonight, but will return later In the week. He ex- poets to complete the selection of the democratic campaign committee with in a few days and may place some progressive on it.
 Senator Walsh discussed with Nil. Mccormick what steps should be taken to retain control of the Senate. Cam raign committees from both the Sem ate and House will begin active work in the near future.
 How much active campaigning will be done by MT. Wilson will not be de- cided until Congress adjourns, and will depend largely on the status of the Mexican situation and other pending public questions.

God cometh not with observation;
Neither shall they say, 10 herel or

Ever since the downfall OF the
Davidic throne in 5S6 BE-, they had

Destructive Fire in London

About 700 Sunday night fire was
discovered in the residence Of Robt.
Baker, on Sublimity Street. which
destroyed the house and caused the
Methodist Church at the side OF il
to be burned also.
Most Of the furniture Of Mr.. Baker
was saved, but Bill Ridings, who had
moved part Of his furniture from up
stairs to the cottage by il. lost some
household goods. The house was
partly covered by insurance.
All the furniture OF the Church
was saved. hut some of the seats,
windows and doors were damaged
some.
Desperate fire fighting was done
in an effort to save the Church, but
the heat from the burning dwelling,
and high wind blowing the flames
in the direction of the Church, made
all their efforts OF no avail. The
Church cost over $4,000 and 5000
insurance was carried.
The Rev. F. NJ. Firestone, Pastor,
was in Indiana at the time of the
fire, TO attend his grandmother's
