COLONEL

Washington, D. c., Jan. 22.-Presi-
dent Wilson today adopted a plan for
presidential domination of congress-,
unparalleled either in his own or pro-
ceeding administrations. He virtually
moved the executive offices to the
presidents room at the capitol. 1t was
announced that he would spend much
of today there and also severai more
days this week.
In pursuance of this plan engage
ments which the president had for to-
day were transferred from the White
House to the capitol.
The president intends to exert every
possible pressure on congress to force
through his legislative program before
March 4. When the news came out con-
corning the plan OF the president it was
widely remarked hat this "out Roose-
velt's Roosevelt"
Last week the president was at the
capitol twice to urge that legislation be
speeded up. 1t remains to be seen how
the Senate and House leaders will
relish this direct handling of legislation
by h executive.

came known to Senator Stone, chair
man of the Senate foreign relations
committee, and other senator's in touch

the president felt the time had come
when the Senate. which is clothed with
the treaty-making power, should be in
formed of the status of the movement
to bind the nations together in some
sort Of league to prevent recurrence OF
war.
Some officials thought Great Brit

the president decided to address the
Senate. where there is a decided diverg-
ence Of opinion as to whether the Unit
ed States should abandon its policy of
isolation and enter into any sort Of a
world league. 1t was pointed out that
Great Britain speaking obviously for
her allies, made the acceptance of the
plan in principle complete. for Germany
and her allies accepted it in that nam

PROPOSED LAW WOULD
MAKE CITIES RESPONSlBL r

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 22.-One of the
new ideas in prohibition law making
that will be urged upon the state legis-
lative committee is to make each city,
town, village or other political unit fl
n%ancially responsible for all damages
that may follow liquor drinking therein
unless the government authorities can
show that they have been diligent in
enforcing the law.
Such a provision, it is believed,
would make impossible the open joints
like those that made prohibition a farce
for many years, and make illegal SELL
ing a matter of up the alley and down
the staircase and step lightly sort Of
business. In other words, it is believed
that it will give the most effective
form of enforcement, since If the eff
fort is a sham one persons injured by
the drinking of liquOr-meaning de-
pendents-could easily fasten the re-
sponsibility upon the municipality by
testimony.
