tempt to secure more decisive action
against reds and radical agitators is
expected in the senate today.
Adoption of the Poindexter resolu.
ton calling on Attorney General
Palmer to explain his failure" to
arrest and deport agitators who have
attempted to bring about forcible
overthrow of the American govern.
ment will be sought with prospects
of It's passages.
Poindexter charges that the over
throw Of government by violence Is
being agitated and that little effort
is being made to capture those je
sponsible.
Senators are frankly alarmed q
the prospect Of radical leaders get
ting control of labor unions.
Plans for nipping the coal miners
strike in advance are under way In
government quarters with the sem
ate standing ready to cooperate with
Secretary Of Labor Wilson.
The house has before it res ,lu.

migration for one year, the result Of
Secretary of State Lansing's fear that
if the bars are let down the country
will be flooded with radicals and aSi
tators.
Poindexter's resolution which Ill
ready has evoked support IA both
sides Of the chamber is emphatic in
its language and refers to either
aliens or other persons who have
attempted to bring about the 'orc-
ible overthrow Of the government

| NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The New
York World today published a letter
which it stated, was written by the
presidents physician, Admiral Gray
son, and made public with his CON
sent, which said:
Il do not know of any disease that
has not been included in the rumors
about the president. If I tried to re-
fute these rumors that have been scat
tered about, l would not have any
time to devote to the president pro-
fessionally.
Il have not followed this course and
do not intend to do So l agree with
you'll wish l was similarly afflicted
if l could be as mentally alert as the
president.
Il can sincerely say his mind is as
good as it ever was since l have
Known him.
II hope the time will not be far dis.
tant when it will be considered safe
to permit him to resume work, when
his actions and his words will speak
for themselves.
"As he gains in strength, his case
Is more difficult for me to handle, as
he is so very anxious to get back to
work
"All the doctors that I have called
in agree that absolute rest and quiet
are essential to complete recovery
My great difficulty is to keep him
from becoming irritated as result of
the rest treatment, for if he should
strain himself too severely, complica-
tions might result. l believe you can
appreciate the trying situation with

Is Better Today.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-President
Wilson was better today, said bulle-
tin issued by his physicians at noon.
The bulletin said:
The president had good nights
rest, enjoyed his breakfast and aside
from a Slight headache continued to
make Improvement The condition
which caused the restlessness of Mon
day night, and about which Dr.
Fowler was consulted, gave no trouble
during the night"
The bulletin was signed by Drs.
Grayson, Ruffin and Stitt.
DR.. H. A. Fowler, Washington physi
clan, who was called in late yesterday
to treat the president for the swelling
of his prostate gland did not visit the
white house today, it was learned.
DR.. Grayson said Fowler probably
would be asked to visit the president
from time to time.
A message from the American am
bassador at London was received
today, expressing for the Emir Seisal
Of the Arabian nation the hope of the
