COLUMBIA. S. c., Jan. Jo.--Eew
departures and wide reforms in She

Governor Robert y. Cooper today
in his annual message TO the general
assembly. Revision of state tiuanc-
ing. change in the control Of state
1,enaI institutions, appointment of
r,,W central board OF education and
the creation OF large state 0n%rab-
ui@~y for law enforcement, were rec"
commended.

The government was silent on the
question Of ratifying the Susan E.
Anthony equal suffrage amendment,
He advocated a constitutional con-
vention for the adoption of a system
Of new organic law for the state.
The present constitution was adopt
ed in 1895 and there are progressive
needs which are throttled by the con-
stitutiOn, he said.
A resolution placing the question
in a referendum election in Novem-
Der this year was passed by the SEN
ate at it's lase session. and is now
OH second reading on the house cal
cndar.
The hope of a improved highway
system being adopted by the general
assembly this year without it's rum
ming the gauntlet of debate was de-
stroyed when the highway bill or
the house calendar went to it's grave
without a sigh for it's demise. The
motion of MI. Bradford, of York, to
continue the bill until July 1920 was
carried without a dissenting vote
or a sigh of regret. This means
that all proposed improved highway
legislation will have to run the
length of the general assembly.
The bill killed was the Christen-
sen amendment which caused such
a debate in the closing hours Of
the last session of the legislature,
ending when it was continued until
this session by a very close vote.
The bill providing as penalty TO-
tic larceny of an automobile impris-
onment of five years or $1,000 fine
Or both and the bill allowing absent
railroad and travelling men to vote
by registered mail were rejected

BOTH OLD PARTIES
CLAIM CREDIT FOR
EXPENSE CUTTING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.--Leaders
OF both parties in congress today
were striving to capture credit for
cutting down government expenses.
Republican leaders in the house
expect to accomplish such drastic
economies that the G. o. P. can go
before the country in November with
the pledge that if they are returned
to power. government expenditures
within a short time can be reduced
to the Dre-War maximum of $780,
0OO,0 00 year, Representative Fess,
chairman of the Republican congress
sional campaign committee, declared
today.
Word evidently has gone out to
all Democratic heads Of departments
to show the voters that expenses are
being cut down. This is evidenced
by the message the shipping board
sent congress, asking that it's esti-
mates for next year be reduced
$125, 100000. Another accomplish
ment to which Democrats point is
that the $1,000,000,0OO wheat guar
antee fund voted the United State
Grain corporation will be turned
back to the treasury untouched next
June when control of wheat is ex-
pected to end.
Republican Leader Mondell declar-
ed today that reduction in taxes
can only come through decrease in
government spending, and that the
Republicans propose to force this.
With lower taxes, particularly those
on excess profits, Mr.. Mondell be-
lieves prices in general will go down.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass
recently warned congress that if
large appropriations were authorized
in addition to those provided for in
the annual estimates another Liberty
Loan would be necessary. At the
same time he pointed out that the
administration already has been able
to make a small reduction in the
war debt.
Republican leaders, particularly in
the house, have been procla inning
that unless the administration shows
greater economy a huge deficit, in
addition TO the war debt, will face
the nation on June 80, 1921, the end
Of the next fiscal year.
Mr. Mondell and other Republican
house leaders have announced that
the $5,000,000,000 estimates of Mr..
Glass for the next fiscal year will
be reduced almost $780, 100000. Mr..
Mondell has taken occasion several
times to point out that the Republic
cans during. the special session re-
duced adm Illustration estimates near
ly $900,0O0,000.

An Abuse of Hospitality
One Incident took place of which
] think | ought to tell you. as L am
quite certain that it happened with
out Alexei's knowledge, but having
become known among our officers
created 81 very painful impression.
On board the Grossiaschtsc hy-the
vessel which I invited Admiral
Slrydlow and his captains to pass
the canal with--tWo engineer officers
were secretly embarked which had
not been announced to our authorf-
ties. The oldest was Colonel Bubnow.
These, in conjunction with a lieuten-
ant who is specially trained for the
purpose and who had a large APP
para us, took photographs Of our
forts and batteries, made notes and
sketches all along the road and final
1y-when Sl5Fydlow saw that my
naval attache was rather astoniShcd
to see quite strange people on the
sh1p--were introduced to him as two
directors of waterworl1s and water
ways! At KEEL Bubnow's bearing be-
came SO "suspecte" that police ana
gendarmeS followed him. Fe went
about in plain clothes and was prow1-
ing about the fortificatione, which
was strictly forbidden TO strangers!
Now ! think this is not quite
fair, if you are invited as guest at
such a fete in foreign country.
which without reserve throws open
it's gates to you and let's you into it's
war harbor, to abuse of hospitality
in this manner, to try to spy out your
friend, and that even under assumed
character! The consequence is that
this will make people very careful
with Russian warships and create
uneasy feelings which I so deplore
and hope to overcome. Pray excuse
my mentioning this matter, but T
thought it better to tell you directly
instead of making diplomatic notes,
etc, as you know how | feel for
you and Russia. But I do wish to
have every difficulty which could
arise in the work of drawing our
countries closer together removed
before it strikes root.

20,0Q0,0O0 MEET To
URGE RATIFICATION

WASHINGTON, d. C.--With the
announced purpose of seeking ways
and means for the early ratification
of peace. a conference which dele
gates said represented 20000,000
Americans, began here this week.
Oscar Straus, former secretary Of
commerce and labor in the cabinet
of President Roosevelt, presided as
chairman. and national organiza-
tions represented included the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor the League
to Enforce Peace, National Advertis-
ing Clubs of America, Farmers Al
lance, Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and World Peace Founda-
ton. Among the delegates were
Herbert Houston, of the National
Advertising clubs, and Matthew
Woll and Frank Morrison, of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
Beginning with joint conference
the meeting is expected to develop
into a select committee of five, who
would present the decisions reached
to Democratic and Republican lead
ers in the senate. The committee
also would call at the White House
for the same purpose.
A petition was prepared by the
conference, to be presented to Sena-
tors Lodge and Hitchcock, urging
ratification as soon as possible. with
only such reservations as would not
n1Illify the League of Nations.
League Meeting Called
First meeting of the council of
the League Of Nations was held
in Paris Friday beginning at 1920
o'clock in the morning. The call
for the assembly was issued in ac-
cordance with the terms of the Ver-
sailles treaty by President Wilson
whom the treaty-makers designated
for that duty. 1t went to the am
bassadors of the entente nations
which have ratified the treaty and
will not be made public until it has
been received from them by their
governments. The call is said to
have been brief.
The most important business to
come before the initial meeting OF
the council will be that Of setting
up the various commissions upon
which will devoIve the task of carry
ing out certain provisions of the
treaty.

COAL HEARINGS
IN MANY CITIES
NOW PROBABLE.

WASHINGTON. AN. 14.-Investi-
cation OF the underlying causes Of
the recent coal strike was in full
swing today with both opera tors and
miners cooperating With the coal
strike settlement commission. Each
day from 80 a. m. to 1870 p. m. the
commissioners will hear the argu-
ments Of the principals to the contro-
versy in an effort to reach a salts
factory agreement on wages and
working conditions for the miners
in the bitumiuous fields.
Hearings in many cities in the coal
regions were planned today by the
commission. The program of travel
ing now under consideration would
prolong the Investigation several
months.
Places where hearings would be
held. should the commission decide to
make such an. exhaustive survey,
would include Altoona, Kittanning,
Somerset and Pittsburg. Pa; Spring
field and Franklin county, Ill; Terre
Haute and Evansville, Ind; Zanes
vile and Porthmouth, Ohio; Fair
mont, Charleston, Logan, Bluefield
and Huntington, W. Va; Paducah.

Tenn: st. Louis and Kansas City.
Mo-; Topeka. kas.; Des Moines. Iowa:
Pueblo, and Trinidad, Col; Goilup
and Baton. n. NJ; McAlester, Okla,
and Fort Smith, Ark.
The commission today heard mtae
union leaders read into the record
their grievances. Operators are eE-
pected to follow with a long presen-
tation of their case. At present the
commission is combining itself to the
differences between workers and OPP
orators in the central competitive
field.
That the miners are prolonging} the
inquiry by asking FOR detailed inves-
legations for the purpose of making
the commission a perpetual body, is
the charge of operators.
Savings accounts OF mineI1, COM
piled from many districts, will be
presented by operators, to refute the
assertion that miners have been poor
ly paid. Their statistics show, they
say, that in many cases miners in
creased their 1919 savings from 100
to 200 per cent over 1918 savings,

Wood Free to Run
For Presidency and
Keep Army Rank

WASHINGTON. d. c. - Major
General Leonard Wood, candidate for
the presidency on the Republican
ticket, can remain in the army until
his possible election or inauguration
as president. if he so desires, Secre-
tary Baker made it plain
Following up his previous ruling
that General Wood and General
Pershing would not have to resign
their commissions to become can
didates for the presidency, Mr.. Baker
said that should General Wood
be nominated by the Republican con-
vention and enter into an active cam
paign throughout the country he did
Lot hold that even then it would be
obligatory upon him to leave the
army.
Mr.. Baker suggested that should
General Wood enter into such an
active campaign that his duties as
commander of the central department.
of the army might be neglected, he
could apply for leave. This leaves
General Wood free to hold his army
post until his possible election or
to continue in the service should he
be defeated.
This attitude of Secretary Baker
is understood to be due to a desire
to give General Wood an absolutely
free rein" in his candidacy for pres
ident. in order that the war depart
ment cannot be charged with par
tisan political action. 1t is under.
stoods Mr.. Bakers opinion is that
should he lay down any ruling that
General Wood would have to resign
at any statedpoint in his campaign,
he, a Democrat, undoubtedly would
be charged with partisanship. Mr..
Baker pointed out that there were
several presidents for his contention
that General Wood does not have to
relinQush his army commission
