WILSON'S COOK
QUITS TOMAR
Says Wilson Ate Bio
Breakfast After
Election Day.

Washington. Jan. 5-The most i'm
portant member of President Wilson's
cabinet has quit. Sigrid Nelson was
dictator of the White House kitchen
cabinet. But Cupid wandered into the
room of pots and pans and another
man soon will be eating the dishes
which have tickled a presidential pal-
ate.
Miss Nelson probably did not need
any recommendation to the job as cook
FOR a Denver mar for life, but she holds
one OF the best recommendations for
cooks on record in a letter signed by
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
For a year, as head cook to the ma
tons chief, Miss Nelson has held the
destiny of a nation in a skillet. Imag-
inc what might happen if the ship Of
state were guided by a dyspeptic pilot.
President Wilson is a satisfactory
person to cook for, according to Miss
Nelson. He is such a plain eater" she
says. He likes hot cakes and waffles
for lunch. He never drinks coffee at
breakfast. His first meal Of the day
usually consists Of bacon. eggs and a
cereal. His favorite desserts are baked
custard, wine jellies and charlotte russo.
He also likes pie, blu never eats mince
pie"
Miss Nelson says the president did
not lose his appetite the day following
the election, when the returns seemed
to indicate that someone else would do
the carving in the White House after
March 4. He nae a hearty appetite.
and ate his usual breakfast" Miss
Nelson says.

An Unusual Situation Develops
When Senate Forces Appear
Almost Evenly Divided
on Sheppard Bill.
"DRYS" FEAR VOTE FRAUDS
Sheppard Predicts Passage Of
Bill, Which Iowa Delegation
Supports, and Defeat of
Referendum, Tuesday.

Washington. D.. c., jar. a,-Whether
the District of Columbia is to be wet"
Or dry" Will, in large part, be settled
next Tuesday, when the Senate is UNI
der agreement to vote on the Sheppard
bin for prohibition in the national
capital.
On that day, il bill and all amend
ments will be voted on, Including the
Underwood proposition for. a referen-
dunn of prohibition to the people of the
district.
VETS Favor "Dry" Vote.
Opponents of the Sheppard bill are
lined up for the referendum on the
theory that on a vote the district will
go against prohibition. Dry senators
are lighting the referendum, alleging
that without any regular election ma
chinery in the District of Columbia, it
will be impossible to hold an election
without fraud.
Whether the referendum will prevail
is likely to be decided in the senate by
a vote or two. in committee of the
whole. the referendum was beaten by
a tie, but there will be another test in
the senate proper. The Senate is SO
closely divided that no positive predic-
ton can be made how it will go on the
referendum. That the Sheppard bill
Will pass the Senate either with or
without the referendum is considered
certain.
House Will Follow Senate.
Senator Sheppard predicts passage of
his bin and defeat of the referendum.
The bill has not yet passed the House,
but Its advocates say il the Senate
passes it it will be driven through the
House.
The dry" members OF congress and
the dry forces pressing the district
bill say that a good deal more is in
volved than the local question whether
the district be wet" or dry" In their
opinion. a great impetus will be given
national prohibition if congress makes
the seat of government dry territory.
1t is for the moral effect nationally,
even more than for the local results,
that the passage of the bill is being
urged. hat explains why both VETS
and "drNs the country over have their
eyes fastened OF the Sheppard meas
ure. If the bin becomes law the "drys''
Will be much encouraged to press a
prohibition amendment to the consti-
tuition to a vote. While this requires
a two-thirds vote and probably cannot
prevail this winter, the ''drys' say pas
sage of the district bill will tend to re-
lnforce the national amendment.

sress will line up for the Sheppard bib
when given the opportunity and. like
wise. it is expected to oppose the ref.
erendum. Senators Cummins and Ken.

bers will do likewise. Representative

MANAGEMENT OF FAIR
FINANCES LAX, CLAIM
Should Have System to Check
Up Receipts, House Mem
bers Assert.

Pierre. s.. D.; Jan. s.-During the
%pttention always is given to manage
tnent Of state affairs and state institu-
lions. Members come here with the
specific ambition to correct certain
tbnses. They usually get over the no
sion later. in response to personal pres
sure or pressure of other business, and
Few important perquisites are dis
lurbed.
Just now there is a large amount OF
1ulet lobby discussion about the finan-
.ial affairs of the South Dakota state
fair. While there is very little hostil-
ny to this enterprise in a general way,
:?aany members feel thai measures
ihould be taken to give closer super
tision to receipts and expenditures.
with annual appropriations reaching
10000 and annual gate receipts of
about $4,000 the fair business is
'leWed as important enough to call for
little business attention.
Secretary Has Free Hand.
Under present conditions the state
.alr secretary has a comparatively FREQ
and in expenditure, and is not subject
10 any check that interferes with his
privilege of doing Just about as he may
llease. He does make a report, but the
seport ls not very detailed. 1t gives
kefy little information to outsiders and
Just about as little to those in official
:lrcles. 1T is not charged, or claimed,
mat there is extensive abuses in the
financial management Of the state fair,
hut IL is commended in many quarters
nat the system in force is a loose way
pr handling a business running into bid
tSureS annually.
Members of the Beadle county dele
cation merely indulge in noncommital
smiles when queried about the methods
pr conducting state fair business. In
pehalf OF the county and of Huron they
financed III made a big thing, but
mere is no evidence II a they think tbs
5alr is benefited in any way by the
Dulidlng up and maintenance of per.
fonal perquisites. One member of the
93eadle county delegation said:
We have no objection to a closer
check on the financial affairs of the
Ptate fair. In fact we think the state
owes 1t to itself. as a plain matter Of
business. to have that very thing. This
need is a matter of'common discussion
in Huron and the application Of strict
business principles would arouse nc
hostility there. We hope to see the
fair literally financed. but we want
every dollar honestly expended and we
want the accounts checked up in a way
TO give assurance to the people that
none of the fund is diverted to ques-
tionable uses"
One proposal under consideration Is
to have state fair accounts checked up
by the executive accountants depart
ment. which now has the duty of ex-
nmining accounts in county and state
offices. 1t is held, in fact, that all of
the state institutions receiving appro-
priations should come under the same
rule. The past custc:: of making big
appropriations and allowing them to be
expended without close business super
vision has created personal privileges
which would not be tolerated in pri-
yate business enterprises.
