President Approves Bill
Continuing Equaliza-
ton Board.
DOES NOT PLAN TO
GO INFO MARKET
Secretary Tumulty Announces Wilson
Wiil Exercise Purchasing and Dis
tribution Powers Conferred Upon
Him-Government Can Buy Sugar
F, In Open Market Without increasing
Price to Consumer.

Washington. Jan. 1.--President Will
son has signed the McNary bill con-
tinuing the United States sugar equal
izatlon board thru 1920. 1t was an
nounced today at the White House
that his signature had been attached
before midnight last night.
Secretary Tumulty, In making the
issued this statement:
THE president has signed the sugar
control bill. The bill confers d,scre-
ton on the president in tho matter Of
purchasing sugar from Cuba. 1t is
doubtful whether 1t will be practicable
or wise for the president to exercise
the power conferred SO fas as the pur-
chase and distribution Of sugar are
concerned"
Some Of the Cuban sugar already
has been purchased and there is no
central control over sugar In Cuba, as
there was last year, and it might
therefore be possible for the govern
ment now to step in and purchase the
sugar without increasing the price to
the consumer The bill, however, con-
tinues the licensing power and this
power may be used to assist in con-
trolling the profiteering among dis
tributers. Much Cuban sugar Is COM
ing in now and the indications are
that prices have reached their peak
and that there will be a tendency for
prices to fall within the next few
weeks.

BERGER TO BE ousTEo.

Washington. jan. 1.-The house VIII

Berger, socialist representatives elect

tifcate of election to the present con-
gress.
Leaders are determined that Berger

allowances while his case drags along
as was done following his appearance
last May with his first certificate. BY
tho time the house finally excluded
him Berger had drawn more than $1,000
In salary. clerk hire, mileage and ste
tionery allowance. altho no had me- 3
been allowed to serve a day. .
Berger is expected to present s
self to be sworn in when com - is
reconvened next Monday. y - he

object. A resolution similar to that
which previously excluded tho MIL
waukee socialist then will be offered
with n motion for It's immediate con-
sideration.
Unless there IL developed some par
Ilamentary technicality which pre-
cludes a vote without reference to
committee the resolution doubtless VIII
be adopted by as great majority as
was given the original exclusion meas
ure. Representative Volght. or Wis
consin, was the only member to vote
in favor OF Berger. while 81 other
members opposed him.
An interesting feature OF the case
Is that the second exclusion of Ber-
ger. following the announcement by
Governor Phillip. of wisconsin, that he
will not call another eleetlon. win leave
the Fifth Wisconsin district without
representation In the house. Such
condition Is unprecedented in the
United states.

No evidence Is seen that the admin

Labor Is receiving unprecedented

Great activity in retail trade strong

With foreHghtednsas, purchased stocks
Of wines and liquors before July 1, were
making merry In hotels and restau-
rants.
Much Of the liquid refreshments
were sent In advance In trucks and
limousines after reservations for the
night had been made. A heavy profit
thru corkaSe and cooling charges was
reaped.
Crowds on the strest4 while not
lacking IN exuberance, were more or
derry than In former years. Two thou
