RETORT TO APPEAL
ST|RS DEMOCRATS
Senator Pittman Says Re-
publican Action Prompted
the President.
SENATE DEBATE LIKELY

The retort OF the Republican lead
ers in Congress to the Presidents ap-
peal to the country to elect democratic
majorities in the Senate and House
has drawn the fire Of the democrats.
Senator Pittman of Nevada, member
Of the democratic senatorial commit
tee, appointed to aid in the election
Of democrats to the Senate. said last
night:
THE republican leaders in the Sem
ate chiefly attack the President. by
reason of the issuance of his address
to the people, upon the grounds that
he had announced in his address to
Congress in May that politics had
been adjourned. The President did at
that time declare an armistice on be-
half of the democrats. The demo-
cratic leaders respected 1t. The re-
publican leaders Immediately treated
the suggestion as a scrap of paper
and violated 1t.
Criticises Leaders.
Ex-President Roosevelt commenced
diHiOSt u dltdCh th0
Presidents principles, policies and
methods, and has continued it ever
since. Senator Lodge and other Sem
ate leaders have time and again in
speeches and in interviews criticised
both the Presidents administration
and his methods and principles look
ing to a lasting world peace.
Mr.. Roosevelt utilized the privilege
OF making liberty loan speeches as
an opportunity to criticise. the Presi-
dent and all of his principles and
war and reconstruction thereafter.
mot until these violations of the
armistice proved the bitter opposition
of the republican leaders to his pro-
gram and their intention to block
necessary to speak to the American
people in person. He has had to speak
to the people directly before, and they
were always glad to hear from him."

Some Demands Not Covered

In Police Court yesterday Afternoon. 1t
was not alone the work In court that
proved bufdenson1e, he explained, but
it was the hearing of complaints in his
office that had brought about the ex-
hausted feeling.
Most Of the investigations had to do
with the alleged improper Of utter fall
ure to heat apartments, while many
others involved reports Of. unclean
dishes in lunchroorns. In each Of sew
eral instances, 1t was stated, prosecu-
tion Of a lunchroom proprietor was asked
for q single instance Of dish that had
not been washed properly.

Sugar Action as Penalty.

The prosecutor said it is his intention
to take Into court every case in which
it is shown that unclean conditions
about lunchrooms or eating houses Of
any description are such that the health
Of the community is affected. One sug-
gestion he made as part of the penalty
for improperly conducting such business
would be revoking the privilege Of using
sugar, which, he said, could be done
by the food administration.
Several prosecutions were instituted
against persons for failure to heat
their apartment houses and other
premises where. roomers were ac-
commodated, and several other COM
plants were held in Abeyance to per-
NIT compliance with the regulation.
In conversation with Star reporter,
the prosecutor made it plain that the
heating of living apartments is the
only thing in the line Of heating that
is covered by the regulation.
II have nothing to do with the heat
ing Of water for bathing or other ppr-
poses," he remarked, although sew

Jersey cloth is, above all

without alterations.
Jersey "slip-Overs" are the
link between dresses and suits.
In fact, they are worn as either,
and may be used with separate
skirts.
Jersey suits come in sports
