Washington, April 6-By common
agreement among party leaders,
congress will begin this week to
speed up its work in an effort to
clear its decks in time for adjourn
ment before the national political
conventions assemble in June.
Both the house and senate will re-
sumo consideration of the immigra-
ton bill with view to getting it to
conference by next week. The
stumbling block in each house is
whether the two percent quotas shall
be based on the census of 1890 or
1910.
The senate finance committee plans
to report out both the tax revision
and bonus bills and one or the other
will be taken no as soon as the i'm
migration has been disposed Of.
Some Republican leaders favor put
ting the menus ahead so it will be
known just what provision must be
made for taking care of 1t.
The several Investigations which
have been productive of so many
sensations as to obscure much of the
legislative effort Of the two houses.
will be resumed this week, but under
less pressure than has marked their
progress to date. An evidence of the
lessening of this pressure was fur
nished yesterday when for the first
time in weeks not single public
hearing was conducted by con-
gressional committee.
/ Besides the Oil, department of JUS
tice and land frauds inquiries at the
senate end of the Capitol, the agri-
cultural committee will open hearings
on Muscle Shoals and the inter-
state commerce commission will re-
sumo public consideration of pro-
posed railroad legislation.
At the other end of the Capitol
four Investigations and two public
hearings will go forward before pub
lie committees. The inquiries include
investigation Of the charges against
Representatives Langley, Kentucky,
and Zihlman, Maryland, Republicans.
and investigations of the shipping
board. aircraft inquiry, and the bu-
reau of engraving.
The merchant marine committee
will resume hearings on Section %
of the merchant marine act and the
Will
IT'S task Of re-drafting the McNary-
Haugen bill.
From time to time during the week
the house will lay aside the immi-
grafton measure for other work.
Tomorrow will be by unanimous con-
sent calendar day, while on Thurs
day the Chandler Bloom election
contest from New York will be
taken up.

Pickering, Yorkshire, England,
April (By A. P.)-Here. near his
ancestral home, a memorial tablet to
Walter Hines Page, friend of Eng
land and American ambassador to
the court of st. James: throughout
the great war, was unveiled here to-
day by the present American am
bassador, Frank E. Kellogg. Left the
British capital for the first time
since his arrival in November to par
ticipate In the ceremonies and de-
liver the address of the day. The
services were conducted by the
archbishop Of York, and many prom
inent persons in the official and So
cial life Of northern England at
tended.
The Page tablet is a part Of an
American memorial in the Church OF
st. Peter and st. Paul. an ancient
edifce built on the site of a Saxon
church. In medieval times the
present church was a chanfyy, later
a school and In the nineteenth CEN
fury was used as choir vestry. In
1902 the building was used as a
chapel and since has been thorough
ly restored.
In the chancel on the north wall
OF the church there Is an American
monument COMMUNICATING Nicholas

plate referring to Anglo American
cooperation during the great war

In his memorial address Ambas-

Hines Page as the Ian who did more

life to make participation OF the
United States possible. He was at

Chancellor Marx
Talks on Probable
Findings of Experts

Berlin, April 6-(By A. P.)-The
German chancellor, DR.. Wilhelm
Marx, in an address at Barmen today,
declared that the German government
would conscienciously examine the
report of the experts committee for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
the obligations devolving upon the
German people embodied in the find
ings of the committee were within
Germany's capacity.
The government, he added, would
assent to undertaking only such obli-
cations as were within the capacity
of the German people, though requir-
ing all their economic strength.
Chancellor Marx warned his audi
tors against what he termed the am
bilious plans of the nationalists,
should they carry the country at the
forthcoming elections.
DR.. Marx declared chat the govern
ment's policy always had been to
bear the burdens imposed by the
treaty Of Versailles up to the limits Of
possibility. 1t would be impossible to
do M. Poincare: the French premier,
greater service than to adopt the
nationalist policy Of tearing up the
treaty.
France, the chancellor continued,
was the strongest military power in
the world, and said 1t would be abso-
lutte madness to incite a defenseless
people against an army q hundred
times stronger than theirs and equip
ped with the most modern of war ma
terials. II the people followed the
mad urgings Of the nationalists, the
only result would be the collapse of
Germany and the complete destruc-
ton Of the German people.
Blaming the Franco German policy
OF inflicting humiliatian on Ger
many" as responsible for the growth
Of nationalism in Germany, theschan-
cellor said II the next Reichstag saw
large increase in the members of the
right the blame would have to be laid
on the "boundless oppression" Of
Germany by France.

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Washington, d. c., April Sur
veys Of political conditions are now
in order although the vote Is not
taken until November. It Is gener-
ally admitted there exist possibilities
in the combination of radicals to
cause apprehension in the old par
ties. Congress, today. illustrates the
power which such a combination I'M
der the leadership Of LaFollette may
exercise on legislation. He now has
the whip hand and is using t. Not
only is a continuation of such a sit
uation possible but there also is
cause for apprehension that condi-
tons may arise such that the presi-
Dental election would have to be de-
cided by a congress so dominated.
Political conditions in certain parts
of the country may be said to be in
a state Of fiux, susceptible as the tide
to ebb and flow. This is partly due
to local conditions and unrest.
Whether this condition will become
stabilized under the appeals of the
two old parties in the presidential
campaign Is debatable, but the eff
fort right now is to comprehend the
situation as 1t exists today. Doing
SO one finds ground for apprehension
of the LaFollette methods. 1t Is I'M
likely there will be next fall a ma
Jority Of seven million votes for any
candidate.
Even with such a Republican tide
little inroad was made. in the solid
south, though the, Republicans did
carry Oklahoma and Tennessee,
largely because local conditions were
favorable. Such a situation in those
states does not exist today and in
each Of them a Democratic candi-
date for senator is up and this is ex-
rected to aid the party. If the Demo-
Gratis carry those states as now seem
probable 1t can be said 1876 electoral

students with some Of the customs and
traditions of the institution.
On registration day, a neat little
handbook for students, issued by DR..
Cotton, was distributed to the student
body. It contains word of welcome
to all the students, a few facts about
the school in general, some plans for
the coming term, and a number of
school yells, songs and other valuable
material fer the daily life Of the stu
dents.
Mr. Ridgely had the girls glee club
for the first practice Tuesday evening,
and with the large attendance this
year, N. A. N. S. should make the
greatest hit of its history on the an
nual glee club trip in the spring. The
orchestra met the same evening and
the turnout gives promise Of a first
class orchestra.
Dr. Cotton motored to Williams,
Wednesday afternoon to attend to
matters connected with the school.
Football prospects are the brightest
in the history of the school. With
Pete Brown, varsity half-back for the
U.s of A. last season; "Polly' Camp,

terbaek; "Buzz" Gregg, 'Hoddy"
Stevens of Douglas, and many other
huskies from the high schools that it
chances to meet and take its share of
the games with the junior colleges and
normal schools of the southwest. John
Marine, "Bodge" Vickers, and "DizZ"
Hanley, all last year letter men, will
be in the string this year. Coach
Rogers had the boys on the field for
the initial practice of the year, Mon
day afternoon. Those reporting num-
bered more than score, SO that we
can now have the advantages Of
second team to work out with the
first string men.
A game will be played with Phoenix
junior college at Phoenix on Armisticc
day, and other games are being ar
ranged with Tempe Normal and the
University Of Arizona freshmen, as
well as number of games with
schools of our rank in California and
New Mexico.
The date of the Normal Flagstaff
high school game has been cancelled,
and the new date, which has not as
yet been set, will be announced later,
the first date interfering with other
arrangements of the schedule.
