Roosevelt in the Thick of Fray
at Capital.

Washington, Oct 2S.-The capital
braced itself today for political up
roar that promised to extend from the
White House to congress.
Further blasts in support of Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for a Democratic
senate and house were expected today
from Secretary Tumulty and other of
the presidential advisers.
At the same time, the senate prom
ised one of the fiercest sessions of the
war period. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis were both prepared to get into
the fray with violence during the day.
Both parties worked overtime Sun
day.
For the administration, Secretary
Tumulty made public some 1899 COM
ment from Presidents Roosevelt and
Harrison and Senator Lodge, showing
that they pleaded for election of a Re
publican congress that year to support
President Mckinley's conduct of the
Spanish-American war.
Chairman Hays. of the Republican
national committee. answering Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for return of a
Democratic congress, characterized it
as the idea of an autocrat." Bitterly
denouncing the presidents plea, Hays

Representative Mott, New York, de-
clared America would be indignant
if Germany should tell us that I'VE
were the only nation at war with a
partisan government. But Germany
would be right"
Meantime. Colonel Roosevelt urged
President Wilson to call conference
of governors to work out a plan that
would permit American soldiers to
vote.
Acting Chairman Cummins, of the
Democratic national committee,
charged that the reactionary inter-
ests of the country are not support
ing Democratic nominees for the
reason that they do not sympathize
with progressive measures advo-
Gated by the president.

Department Arrangements.

The shoe department. which occupies
the ground floor of the new annex, IS
richly finished in steelgray carpet ana
woodwork, with a blend of old rose tap
estry. Special care has been given to
the selection of stock for this depart
ment
The main floor of the original build
ing has been converted into an eX-
mans shop. In this depart
ment an effort has been made to give
the impression of service to the Gus
toner as he enters the store.
Corridors and partitions have been
so situated in the remodeling as TO
give each section the appearance OF
a separate store each attractively fitted
up in accord with the goods on sale.
Perhaps the most elaborate part OF
the building is the new women's dress
department. occupying the second moor
of the original building. Rich, dark
red fixtures throw into bold relief
showcases of brilliant evening dresses
and Ea Ster suits.
The front of this section has been
patterned after French gown shops
Small compartments. inclosed by stain
ed glass partitions, have been installed

and dinner gowns will be kept in dust

The second floor of the annex, ad-
joining the gowns, is a palace of babies

plan the shoe department. this branch
is another new attraction. 1t also con-
tains clothes for older children.
Believing that millinery is one of the
first considerations of a woman who
ould he well dressed. special atten-
ton also has been given to this de-
partment, on the third floor, in the re-
modelling. An effort has been made to
pick from the force of saleswomen for
service in this department those quail
fed to find for each woman the hat
to suit her.
Lingerie also has been taken into
consideration as an important element
and has been given a spacious section
