Party WiIl
 Have Straight Ticket
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DECIDES UNANIMOUS LY TO MAINTAIN ITS INDEPENDENCE-AC
 TON ENDS FUSION DISCUSSION

The Democratic party of the city will have a straight ticket in the field for the fall election regardless of any other political movement. it was unauim ously decided last night by the executive committee.
 This decision ends the discussion of a fusion movement in which the Democrats would, in exchange for some of the places of lesser import anco on the ticket, nominate or in dOrse the nomination Of 4. F. Vim cent fer mayor and Moses W. Man WBrirg for city treasurer.
 The attitude of the Democratic party was made of record last night when the executive committee met at the Democrats headquarters and formally considered the matter. The local situation and prospects were dis sussed at length and the concensus of opinion was that the party owed it to the members and the citizens to maintain its independence and se- lect candidates for office in the reEu- lar way
 Chairman Hugh J. Lavery of the Democratic city committee, referring to the action of the executive com nittee last night. said this morning:
 The vote was unanimous to nom mate a straight ticket that will start with a Democrat for mayor and have Democrats right through to the last man"
 Asked if he knew whether the back CTS of the independent movement would indorse Democratic nominees, Mir. Lavery said he was unaware, but euch prospects would not alter the Democrats plans.

PERSHiN2 TO-DAY CELEBRATES HIS
 59TH BIRTHDAY

John Joseph Pershing Brirg. Gen. PershinE, was supremacy skiIlful in self-command before he was entrusted with the command of the Amerrcan EZpeditionary Forces. In the dreadful moment when he was on the Mexican border, and when the familiar vel Joy envelope-a telegram-was 8 brought to him, containing the mon strous news of the burning of his wife and three of his children, in fire in their quarters in the Presidio of San Francisco, one child little Warren, surviving. many men and brave men would have lost their reason. Though almost overwhelmed, Pershtng held on to himself! A grateful world thanks God for that self-command.
 General Pershing was born 59 years ago today, September 18th. 1860. He graduated from the Military Aca- denny at West Point in 1SS6. He has seen service in the Apache Indian Campaign, in New Mexico, and in the Sioux Campaign in the Dakotas in 1S9O-9l. He served in the Santiago Campaign in Cuba during the Spanish American war. When sent to the Philippines he took active part in oQ- erations against the NOrOs. He was with Kurokfs army in Manchuria. His capture of the Moros in the Phil ippines ended the insuTreCtiOn. Gen. Pershing was promoted to his present rank by President Roosevelt.

POETESS IS
 NOT TO SELL
 HER PROPERTY

erty at Short Beach, which includes the well known "Bungalow'' and Barracks" three other houses, all of which comprise Bungalow court. proves to be incorrect. The real facts are that an option has been recorded for the sale of the property Tt a stated price in -he event of the death of Mrs. Wilcox, and this option is in favor of Mrs. Ruth c. Ritter, who with her family have been close friends of the noted authoress fo- the last % years. The option is to avert legal entanElements in the future. Mrs. Wilcox Is now at the Bungalow and will hold the property until her death
 supplies already on hand in this coun- try when the armistice was signed. it .s estimated that the supplies com ing out of production on future con tracts ran into figures of between Sour and one-half and six billion dol lars. With the cooperation of a Con cress whose first interest was honest ly the interests of the people rather than political. millions of dollars of these billions that have now gone to waste could have been saved. In stead. the Congress began a system of petty harrassing on top of a pite- ous and short-sighted policy of pre- tended economy with the result that the department, lacking cooperation and help. was left to shift for itself in salvaging the billions of dollars rut into material now no longer necessary, but the production of which the exigencies of war and na- tional economy had maoS neces- sary.
 Not only was there waste because of destruction resulting from the failure of Congress to appropriate a few extra millions to save millions but in the case of the motor vehicles, there has actually arisen a conflict of Congressional action that caused delay in getting these cars into hands that could take care of them-
 Early in February the Secretary of War directed that surplus motor equipment be placed on the market Then came the act of Congress au- thorizirg and directing the allocation. on acquisition, of motor vehicles to the Post office Department for mail service, the Public Health Service for hospital use and the Department
 
 various states for road work Alp proximately 5000 of the 5000 mo- tor vehicles on hand had been allot- ted to the various states and were be- ing shipped as rapidly as state of hcers were prepared to receive them. Then came an act of Congress pro hibiting this form of allotment and in the sundry civil bill approved in July the Department was directed to sell its supplies in the open market.
 These motor vehicles are now be- ing prepared for saie. As soon as an inventory of what the Government has to sell in this line can be made ready, a money-saving and money earning routine in any sanely con- ducted business, they will be placed on the market.
 Meanwhile, they have been rusting all these months for lack of funds to protect them. With millions of dol lars worth of other government sur plies, in spite of the beseechings aru a dvice of such a capable executive as General Goethals, they have been left exposed to deterioration because a short-sighted Congress apparently Is trying to make political capital of what it Is calling a system of eco nomy.
