CONGRESS HEEDS THE
PRESIDENTS. REQUEST
Abandons Pan for Five Weeks Re-
cess-Requcst PrOvokes Bitter
Comment

washington, Aug. 4.-Heeding the
request Of President Wilson. the
house Friday abandoned it's five
weeks's recess, scheduled to begin
with adjournment Saturday.
Immediately following this decis-
ion, house leaders announced that
plans would be perfected at once to
permit members to go home under a
three-day continuance recess program.
their return to be simultaneous with
presentation of the administration
plans for lowering living costs.
The presidents request, coming un-
expectedly, provoked informal and
bitter comment from both Republi-
cans and Democrats, but only a single
protest was heard on the foor-it
coming from Representative Blanton.
Democrat, Texas, who asserted that
his opposition was due to the rail
way brotherhoods trying to hold up
the country for about the. seventh
time The Texas member, however.
conducted only a single-handed and
unavailing fight against upsetting the
schedule. The resolution setting aside
the recess was adopted without rec
ord vote, with only a few noes" be-
ing heard.
Preceding this vote Mr.. Blanton
had succeeded in forcing a roll call.
which by vote of 236 to 4, decided
in favor Of considering the resolu-
tion cancelling the recess. Represen-
tatives Moon, Tennessee, Democrat
and Platt, New York, and Curry, Cal
ifornia, Republicans, joined with Mr.
Blanton in casting the negative votes.
Senate concurrence in the rescind-
ing resolution is necessary but before
the house acted Republican Leader
Mondell conferred with Senator
Lodge and was understood to have
had the assurance that no difficulty
would be encountered there.
Before the house was called on to
act, members of the Republican steer
ing committee met and were said to
have decided unanimously to discard
the recess program. Some of its mem
bers, however, disapproved of this
personally, but their feelings. it was
said. were subordinated to the situa-
tion, after Chairman Esch. of the in
terstate commerce commission, had
explained the railway labor situation.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
CREATED CHAPEL
Memorial Commission Has No Al
tentative But to Erect Ii as
Memorial.

Governor Cooper, chairman of the
State Memorial commission. has ad-
dressed a letter to DR.. William Wes-
ton, of Columbia. giving the commits
sion's reason for declining to accept
the proposition of establishing a gen
eral hospital instead of a chapel me-
mortal to commemorate South Caro-
lina's part in the great war. The gov
ernor explained that the action OF the
general assembly bound the commits
sion to the chapel idea. The com
munication follows:
Dear DIR. Weston The memorial
commission heard with much interest
the proposal made by you and others
that the memorial to white citizens of
South Carolina who rendered service
in the world war, take the form of a
great public hospital. The commits
sion appreciates the viewpoint you
represent, and it appreciates, too the
need for a hospital such as you sug-
gest
THE joint resolution of the gem
eral assembly creating the memorial
commission defines to large extent
its functions; and, furthermore,
states specifically that the memorial
shall be chapel erected on property
held by the University of South Caro-
lima. The commission, therefore,
could not act upon your suggestion.
The question of Incorporating in the
memorial some dominant utilitarian
feature was discussed at the first
meeting of the commission, and it
was the opinion of the majority that
even If the joint resolution had left
clear field of choice. the most de.
sirable memorial would be the type
set forth in the resolution.
II am sure speak for all those
who attended the meeting July 80
when / thanked you for coming be-
fore u.s.

BOLSHEVIKI IS BLAMED
Widow of Soldier Killed in France Claims Attempt Is Besng Made to Deprive Her of Insurance Money.

Believing that an attempt is being made to deprive her of insurance car ried bv her husband, Private kazimlr Nowkowsl<i Mrs. Helen NoWkowski has appealed to some of the city off cialS to assist her in securing the same. In stating her side of the case, Mrs NOWkowski lays the cause of the trouble at the door of Bolshevism.
 Private Nowkowski was a draftee from this city and first entered serv- ice at Camp Devens. Later he was transferred to Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga. He went overseas with Company M 326th infantry, and was killed in action October 30.
 On receiving official notification of the death of her husband Mrs. Now kowski took immed fate steps toward the collection of the insurance. A few days ago two men entered the city clerks office and asked about the marriage certificate of the couple. Unable to secure the information the Stra 1gers went to the war bureau, where they claimed that the woman was not entitled to the insurance. One Of the men claimed that Now kowski was his brother and he was doubtful if his dead brother had ever married. Official investigation was then started.
 Mrs. NowkOwski has proven that she is the widow of the dead soldier, and from other facts produced it shows that she is not an adventures. real estate tra.nsa ction Involving property at the corner of Olive and Connerton street was made through Tax Collector Loomis whereby the woman transferred a half interest to her husband in April 1917
 Mrs. Nowkowski asserts that the stranger claiming to he a brother of her late husband is bogus. During the influenza scare Mrs. Nowkowski who is a nurse, rendered valuab l- services.

Fears are entertained that Rev. John Doherty of this city, who has been a chaplain in the United States army has paid the supreme price on the battlefields of France. While no official confirmation has been received from the war department still the To- cal relatives of the young priest have received no mail from him since Oc- tober 24. Chancellor John G. Murray and Congressman Augustine Loner- gan have interested themselves in the case.

According to the letter the chaplains, both of whom were from the Hartford diocese and friends before the war, were aSso ciatad as closely as war conditions permitted Both had received citations for bravery. Father Mayotte fell from his horse few days after the signing of the armistice and succumbed to injuries on December G. Both chan lains entered battle on Decora ton day.
