PRESIDENT WILSON'S STATEMENT
on SENATE FlLlBCSTER

The presidents statement IN fui
follows:
"The termination of the last ses-
sion of the SiXty-fourth congress oy
constitutional limitation discloses d
situation unparalleled in the history
of the country, perhaps unparalleled
in the history OF any modern gov
ernment. In the immediate presence
of crisis fraught with more subtle
and far-reaching possibilities OF ma
tional danger than any other the
government has known within the
whole history of its international re-
lations. the congress has been unable
to act either to safeguard the coun-
trv or to vindicate the elementary
rights of it's citizens. More tnan ooo
of the 531 members of the two houses
were ready and anxious to act; the
house of representatives had acteo
by an overwhelming majority; put the
senate was unable to act because
little group of II senator's had de-
termined that it should not.
Can Not Limit Debate.
"The senate has no rules by which
debate can be limited or brought TO
an end, no rules by which dilatory
tactics Of any kind can be prevented.
A single member can stand IN the
way of action if he has but the physl-
cal endurance. The result in this case
is complete paralysis alike OF the
legislative and executive branches OF
the government. This inability of the
senate to act has rendered some OF
the most necessary legislation OF the
session impossible at time when the
need for it was most pressing and
most evident. The bill which would
have permitted such combinations OF

won the first skirmish in the fight be-
fng waged by the "anti-Blease' forces
10 Gust him from Office. In the order
sssued by Governor Manning declar-
,Rg the office of chief game warden
vacant. and appointing Mr.. Wade
Hampton GibbeS to succeed Colonel
Richardson, Governor Manning held
that, under the decision of the su-
preme court. the term of the chief
game warden expired on February 25,
Sour years from the date of his ap-
continent. Comptroller General Say
yer today paid warrants drawn by
Colonel Richardson upon the chief
game warden's fund, under an opinion
rendered by Attorney General Peoples
to the effect that the term expires
Four years from the date of confrma-
zion by the senate, which will be on
March 7.
This does not affect the real merits
of the controversy between the gov
srnor and the chief game warden, but
eserrules the opinion of Governor
Manning as to the date OF expiration
OF the term. The whole matter will
be threshed out by the courts.
The opinion of the attorney general
Is as follows:

wise that it appears from the journal
of the senate for the year 1913 that
Mr- Richardson was appointed during
that session of the senate; that the
senate acted upon his appointment,
and confirmed same on the 7th day
of March, 1913, and Mr.. Richardson
enalifed and was commissioned on

Under these circumstances, beg

Eye of the Night" at Palace Saturday
'"The Eye of the Night" narrates the
SIMPLE story of slavey's misdoing,
of her struggle for existence among
the narrow-mirded bigots in the town
and of her ultimate discovery that
the old keeper of the light-the only
mortal who forgives her sin and re-
ceives her into his care-is her faith
er. 1t is made powerful by the pathos
cf its situations and is agreeably re-
lieved by intermittent touches of
quaint comedy.
One of the valuable assets of the
play is the surprising beauty of its
scenes. Each was selected with ex-
treme care to depict the homely pic
of the coastal hamlet in
which the action of the story takes
r)ace and each lent itself readily to
beatuiful photography. Among the
more vivid scenes of the piece are
those which show a fierce aerial at
tack on the village, the war being an
important incident of the plot.
