dropped in and fell into chair to fan
himself with his straw hat like man

had been carrying about a mile and a
half farther than he had bargained to.
''Thank the Lord, the last of those

the subject abruptly: "About the

Ripley briefed the general situation
as it stood on the night of the engine

from the fight on Red Tower Con-

were threatening to upset all the time
honored political traditions of the
machine governed state. An election
was approaching, and the railroad
vote and influence must be whipped
into line. AS the grafters viewed it,
the threatened revolution was a one
man government, and if that man
could be removed the danger would
vanish.

guss that it would be higher than 81

Senator Harrison also charged that
the supporters Of the bill we're mot

picked out individual items such as
shoes and sugar, computed the increase
allowed by the bill and queried support
ers of the measure as to what amount

Retaliation and resentment from Can

would follow enactment of the bill.
Senator Harrison declared.
Answering Senators Townsend and
Harrison, Senator McCumber said he
did not believe President Wilson would
veto the bill and argued that farmers
receiving so cents a day for their labor
should be entitled to relief even at the
expense Of workingmen receiving IS a

Presidents Wife
Fitting Up in Clothes
and Gems for CAPITAL

New YORK, FEB. MRS. Harding, wife
of the President-elect, began selecting
the contents of her White House
clothes cabinet. She did not go shop
ping, but conducted a hotel suite cam
paign for clothes. Fifth avenues mo-
distes. tailleurs, furriers and jewelers.
followed one another into her rooms at
Ritz-Carlton where she spent nearly
eight hours inspecting their offerings.
Scores of fabrics. gowns, hats and a
few models were taken up the elevators
TO her suite and down again, but the
crowd that momentarily expected the
future First Lady of the Land to ap-
pear for an automobile ride or shopping
tour waited in the lobby and on the
sidewalks in vain. She granted admit
tance only to a large group of photog-
raphers and reporters and those who
sought to have their goods chosen for
the White House were delayed.
Tailleurs predicted the laws of fash
ion would be blue after March 4. For
that is the favorite color of Mrs. Hard
ing. She selected a tea gown and eve-
ming gown of blue today. This taste
also was reflected in her choice of gems.
Mrs. Harding made it clear that there
will be no foreign frills in her ward
robe. I'm 100 per cent. American" she
told reporter who inquired about her
choice in clothes. Her jewels also were
"all American" the favorite being the
Colonial types, such as canoes worn on
black velvet bands for neck and wrist.
Mrs. Harding made her first public
appearance here since her husbands g
election when she attended theatre
tonight and witnessed musical com
edy. She was accompanied by Mrs.
Harry S. New, wife of the senator
from Indiana; Mrs. Edward B. Nc
Lean of Washington, Will HI. Hays,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee and a secret service man.
They occupied lower box.
