Washington, November 28.-Notice
is served that the Republicans are
not going to confirm any of the re-
cess appointments made by President
Wilson at the coming session Of Con-
gress.
These include the shipping board
commissioners, the Interstate Com

others of less Importance. The an
nouncement of the intention to pro-
serve all of these offices for deserv-
ing Republicans is made by the Re
publican Publicity Association in a
statement issued this afternoon.
"The people want change more
than they ever before wanted any

FRESH WONDERS OF
WIRELESS TELEGRApHY

Washington, November 25.-That
a number Of messages may be sent
over submarine cables simultaneously
through the use Of alternating cur
rent, and that the trunks of growing
trees may be utilized at times in the
place of sending and receiving an
tenna for radio apparatus, was dis
closed by experiments conducted in
the research laboratories Of the army
signal corps during the year, accord
ing to the annual report of Mai. Gen.
George 0. Squier, chief signal officer,
TO Secretary Baker, made public to-
day.
Interesting experiments suggested
by Gen, Spuier's recent discovery
that uninsulated conductors might be
used under water successfully were
also conducted, the report says.
Much Of the report was devoted to
various phases of radio telegraphy,

ceived practically between any two

Difficulty was experienced during
the year in obtaining and keeping
men for the signal corps, due to de-
mand for workmen trained along
these lines in civilian life, the report
said. Despite this fact, however, It
was stated that considerable progress
was made along experimental lines.
radio operators were trained and sent
to the Western aerial forest fire pa
troll and the Alaskan military cable
service, and particularly good success
was met in developing the armv's
carrier pigeon service.
Among the achievements Of the
corps chronicled in the report were
the design and completion of a cav

and the completion of an army obser-
vatiu plane radio telegraph and tele-

GREAT MEMPHIS
COTTON CONVENTION

Bankers, merchants and farmers,
fighting in the common cause, to put
old King Cotton on his feet again, will
bring together the best constructive
minds Of the South to help to solve
the problem, states the Memphis
Commercial Appeal of November ~.
Draft will be made upon all profess
sions and callings.
Through series of conventions,
the first of which will be held in
Memphis December 7-8, it is hoped to
bring about an organization of effort
which will. move solidly and continu-
ously until the present oversupply of
cotton has been eliminated.
1t is useless to argue that there
would have been no overproduction if
Mr. So-and-So had had money enough
to buy clothing, or if Herr BaumwolI
Spinnerei had had money enough to
buy cotton enough to keep his ma
chinery busy. That old word eff"
has been offering an alibi ever since
Hector was a pup, but has never yet
changed a single fact. There is a
further oversupply and that is all
there Is to it.
Responses SO far to invitations sent
out by the Memphis cotton convention
committee urging attendance have
been all that could be desired.
The following uniform circular was
mailed out yesterday by Memphis
workers:
"a most important and far-reach-
ing convention will be held in Mem
phis December 7-8, 1920. Cotton
acreage reduction, diversified farm
ing and change in the method Of

1--WE are all vitality interested in
the purposes for which the conven--
tion has been called, and we respect
fully urge you to attend and bring
with you five influential merchants
and five representative farmers from
your section.
.fWe respectfully request that you
secure the cooperation Of the news
papers published in your town or city,
believing that through this medium
we can stir up great interest in the
attendance, for it is very essential
that we have large number present
to give prestige and force to what
ever plan that may be adopted
"You can not possibly serve your
country in any better way just now
than to aid in making the convention.

IN MEMORIAM

In sad and loving remembrance of
my dear son Warren DeVoe Owen,
born April 20, 1918, died November
II, 1920.
Sleep on, dear DeVoe;
Sleep on in Jesus arms,
And wait for me at the golden gate.
/ am striving to meet you some day.
Now as sit in sorrow,
With a heart broken and sore,
Listening for eager footsteps
That / shall hear no more,
No happy rompings fill the house,
No toys, no playthings round;
Quiet and sadness hover now
Where play and glee did abound.
The JOY of his lovely presence
Made life so sweet and fair,
But the grief Of this awful absence
Has filled each hour with care.
/ know his soul is filled with rapture
As it never had been before.
oh, Heavenly Father, take away
The selfish grief that breaks my
heart,
For / know in your house
There Is no death, no pain, nc night,
Fer the Lamb is the light there.

In view of this expression IN such
def terms direct from the people, it
is now the duty Of the United States
Senate to refuse to confirm the ap-
pointment of those men who have
been recently or who may hereafter
be nominated by the president for im-
portant official positions.
"Enexperience and incompetencv
seem to have been determining qualifi
cations when President Wilson has
made selections for important govern
ment positions. That there have
been some exceptions to the rule does
not change the fact, and the country,
therefore, looks with suspicion upon
any appointment President Wilson
may make.
Rejection of the recent appoint
ments to the shipping board is GER
tainly desirable. A number Of va
cancies on the board have existed for
many months without any move on
the part Of the president to fill the
positions. After all this delay no
great injury can be done if the ap-
pointments he has made are permit

MISS HAY, BOSS
At CONVENTION
suffragists Demand Equal
Representation and Call
for Plank Against High
Cost of Living.

Chicago, June 3.-On the eve Of the
.epublican national convention Chair
man Will H. Hays Of the national
committee told the newspaper men
that this is a bossless convention, a
convention of the delegates"
Hays was simply figuring in the
men delegates when he said 1t.
There is a boss in this convention.
Miss Hay aSaws Wood"
1t is Marry Garrett Hay, Of New
York, high chieftain Of the women's
division Of the republican party. and
a more absolute boss never sat in an
inner sanctum and pulled the we'll
known wires.
While the men have been milling
around in a herd like a bunch of
sheep looking for a wolf to grab them
off, Miss Hay has been saving wood,
holding conferences day and night,
and, as the gavel is about to fall, it
can be said hat she has gone a long
way in getting what she wants.
Republican women will not get all
they want, but they will get more
than women ever have at the hands
of any political party, and, judging
from the comment around Women's
headquarters today, the democrats
are in for another "shakedown'' when
they convene in San Francisco.
Women Get Hearing.
First, the women have succeeded in
getting a hearing before the resolu-
tons committee Of the convention.
a committee composed Of Mrs.
Maude Wood Park, Washington; Mrs.
Clifford Pinchot, Philadelphia; Mrs.
F. Louis Slade, New York; Mrs.
George Gellhorn, St Louis. and Mrs.
Richard Edwards, Peru, Ind, will
present the demands Of the national
league of women voters. representing
some 10000 0 women.
They will ask a number Of things,
among which is the hottest proposed
plank on the high cost of living and
proposed methods of reducing it that
will be handed in, unless the delega-
ton coming from the Montreal con-
vcntion Of the American Federation
of Labor presents a more drastic one.
During the year 1%916-191S, the
consumer has been paying the food
corporations, whose reports are avail
able, over two and one-half times as
large profits as were acceptable be-
fore the war" declared Mrs. Richard
Edwards, quoting the platform.
COMMITTEES of congress have held
Investigations continuously for the
last three years, but almost no re-
medal legislation has resulted.
Therefore the women home
makers arc asking what they can do
to relieve the economic stress that
confronts them.
Therefore we are asking such fed
eral regulation and supervision Of
foods as will tend to equalize and
lower prices, and the enactment and
enforcement OF such other measures
as will freely open the channels of
trade, prevent excess profits, and
eliminate unfair competition, and the
control of the necessities Of life"

Incredible responsible leaders Of

The telegram as sent, was made

contentious for increased wages.
The text of the message is as fol-
lows:
"As the responsible heads of rail-
road labor organizations, representing
more than 1000, 900 workers, we pro-
test most earnestly and most m
platically against the proposed adj
