the little cottonwood cabin in which,
almost forty years ago, he first met
the late Col Theodore Roosevelt.

collection OF dance halls, saloons and
gambling houses.
Col Stanley. who bears his title by
courtesy of Congress. which formally
conferred the honor upon him. the
late Col. William A. Cody Buffalo

known in his Wisconsin home as

after a lo.IDD-mile journey by Maxwell

capltal city, for between Cleveland
and Medina. passing through the Mil

DENOUNCES RULES

Paris, ian. 2O.-(By \. PD-Repre-
sentatives Of the American and British
press yesterday, IN the Chamber of Dep
uties met the representatives of the
syndicate of "The French Democratic
Press" which is composed mostly of
Socialists and other opposition newspa-
pers.
The French newspaper men thanked
the American journalists for their atti-
tvde on the question of publicity at the
proceedings OF the Peace Conference,
and declared that the regulations of the
conference as published were unaccept-
able to them.
The French journalists also said they
favored complete abolition Of the CEN
sorship for France, as well as for the
United States and Great Britain, and
freedom to confer with the delegates to
the Peace Conference, and also that they
desired open sessions of the conference
and the admission of at least one repre-
sentative for each newspaper.
An effort will be made to call a fuller
conference of the representatives of the
press OF all nations. The Socialist news
paper men today disavowed the cXpree-
sions of the other French journalists
against open sessions Of the conference
They said they were not present at the
previous conference of the journalists
because they had not been invited or
Informed that such a meeting was TO be
held

Harrisburg. Jan. 20.--The biggest
crowd that has ever witnessed an in
augural ceremony in Pennsylvania is

Every hotel has had all its rooms

Some of the big hotels made tne mis-
take OF making more reservations than

oversight has resulted in considerable
confusion.
one of the biggest hoste,rics is said
to have made about 200 excess reserNa-
tions. and has turned away hundreds Of
applicants.
In many hotedls cots have been in
stalled to take care OF the influx of visl-
rates; some proprietorS o. rooming
houses however. are nos SO considerate.
They plan TO profit by the overflow.

clubs from virtually every section of the
state are coming.

Six hundred and fifty marchers, all

DOOLITTLE DISCUSSES
N4RCONFS SUGGESTION

Eric Doolittle, professor Of astronomy
in the University of Pennsylvania. lis
tened with interest today to Marconis
suggestion that radio telegraphy might
be used to communicate with other
planets.
Professor Doolittle. however, said that
the present limitations of radio telsgra-
ply would make it almost impossible
might exist in other worlds.
1T took months to get an ether wave
sufficiently powerful to reach from Paris
TO this country" said the astronomer,
Ether waves travel with about the
speed of light. The intensity of these
waves diminishes inversely with the
square OF the distance. A wireless inn
pulse sent by our present apparatus
would be extremely tenuous by the time
it reached even the nearest planet. Ether
not theoretically impossible to send wire
less ether waves to the heavenly bodies. u
The farthest planet could be reached In
q little more than four hours by radio
TO reach the nearest star. Alpha Cen
tauri, would require about four and one
third years. To reach the stars in the
milky way would need thousands OF
years. The "custer stars" are SO far
distant that radio waves, travelling witt
the speed of light. would bo on the
way from 10000 to $4,000 years before
they arrived.
About hundred years ago" said
Professor Doolttle. sit was proposed by
astronomers TO outl line huge geomctrIt
figures. on the plains Of Siberia and
observe the heavens TO see iC similar
signs were made in answer. This idea
which never developed, was based OF
the theory to which MarConi refers
namely, that mathematics must be the
same everywhere.
"The planets that scientists consider
hahitable are Mercury. Venus and Mars
They possess som" atmosphere. SO far
however astronomers never have OBJ
served anything like signals from them

this planet, once thought he had OBJ

nothing had been seen but clouds

interesting. but to carry II out would re

powerful and receiving apparatus OF al
most infinite delicacy.'

devastation he would appreciate
better the French claims of repara-
tion, including territorial repara-
tion.
From the minute of President |
Wilson's arrival in France, the
French have been determined to
have President Wilson see this dew
astation, but the President has been
reluctant. He is reported to have
said that he did not want to enter
the Peace Conference with hate in
his heart. Actually, he felt himself
sufficiently familiar with the ruin
caused by the war, having thought
of little else for the last few years.
! The French, however, misunder-
stood his attitude. They thought
him cold-hearted.
The French press still is full of
articles on this subject, on which
they are peculiarly sensitive, as
shown by the feeling produced here
by the story, published in LIntran-
sigeant that Premier Clemenceau
by his speech on Frances sufferings
had made President Wilson weep
In the personal coming together
as a result of almost daily confer
ences, it has been impossible 70
President Wilson to stand ou
against Premier Clemenceau's de
sire to have him see the ruin don
by the Germans.
Accordingly, it is announced nov
that .hc President will visit the dev
astated area at the first opportu
nifty afforded by inactivity of tn
Peace Conference. This concessio

will take care Of the rest.
Spirit of Compromise
The spirit of compromise plainly
is observable. A wel-informed
American, close TO President viii
son, says the conferences so far
have been fruitful chiefly in bring
ing the conferees personally close
together. The heads OF the nations
are becoming intimate from per-
sonal contact, and the old suspicious
the old feelings of difference, arc
disappearing as they rub elbows.
This process is accentuated by the
social efforts of the English ant
French. The Americans are Ieceiv
ing great social attention here
where the social road to interna
tional comfy thoroughly is under
stood.
One significant evidence of thi:
personal approach is the announce
ment that the President will visi
the devastated areas Of France. TIL,
Presidents failure to visit thes
regions heretofore has been a sor
point with the French. France still
is in the state Of mind of hospita
patient who likes to show hi
wounds. France wants the world t

She wants sympathy.

Mr.. Begbie asked him IL he thought
