VOL. XII 60th CONGRESS MEETS Opening Session of Both Branch es Was Brief. 10 SPEND"pOO, 000,000 Republican Leaders Will Try to Confine the Work of the Short Session to Passage of the Money Bills. Washington, D. C. —Both houses of congress convened for the beginning of the second session of the sixtieth congress. Practically no business was transacted in either house. In the senate, ex-Governor Cummins of lowa took the oath of office, as the success of Senator Allison, as did Car roll 43- of Vermont as the suc cessor of Senator Stewon.. iu uie house the seven members who were elected in November to succeed mem bers who have resigned were sworn ih. They are .Henry A. Barnhart, dem ocrat, who succeeds the late Mr. Brick, republican, from the thirteenth Indiana district; Albert Estopinal, democrat, who succeeds the late Mr. Meyer, from the first Louisiana dis trict; Otto G. Foclker, republican, suc cessor to Mr. Dunwell, republican, in the third New York district; Frank E. Gurns-gy, republican, successor to Mr. Powers, republican, from the fourth Maine district; Ebeu M. Masters, re publican, successor to Mr. Parker, re publican from South Dakota at large; O. C. Wilty, democrat, successor to his brother, A. A. Wiley, democrat, from the second Alabama district, and John P. Swasey, republican, successor to Mr. Littlefield, who resigned dur ing the last session from the second Maine district. The two houses appointed commit tees each to notify the other house and the president, that the two bodies are organized and prepared to go for ward with the business of the ses sion. The senate then adjourned for the day, out of respect to the mem ony of Senator Allison, who died dur ing the recess. The house terminated its brief session with resolutions com memorative of the lives of Messrs. Parker, Wiley, Dunwell and Powers, who have died since adjournment last May. Work of Congress Outlined. If republican leaders retain their present views, the legislation of the session will include very little except the appropriation bills. These bills will carry in the aggregate about sl,- 000,000,0C0, and the general opinion is that in the time that will be al lowed the two houses will find that they can best serve the country by giving proper attention to these ap propriations. There will be a general effort to hold the appropriations down to the lowest possible limit. It is gene: ally, undprcitood ik.ut tixciw win *O6 a bill for the improvement of rivers and harbors, to carry not less than $25,- 000,000 or $30,000,000. Provision must be made this year for the census of 1910, and this will require not less than $10,000,000, There will be other exceptional demands, so that as it now looks, congress will do well if it suc ceeds in holding the appropriations ' for the second session of the sixtieth congress to the dimensions of those of the first session. The house com mittee on appropriations alredy has begun its work on the sundry bills. The fact that the managers desire to restrict legislation will not prevent other members of the senate and house from exerting their efforts in behalf of favorite measures. The first effort in this direction will be made in the senate, by Mr. Foraker, who will renew his attempt to have passed the bill authorizing the re-enlistment of the negro soldiers discharged with out honor on account of the Browns ville riot. This measure will be the special order for December 16. Sen ator Beveridge will make an effort to obtain early consideration for his child labor bill and Senator Carter of the postal savings bank bill. There also is a considerable ele ment in both houses favorable to such changes in the Sherman anti-trust law as wilt provide Immunity for some of the combinations, like labor unions, which have been held to he in re straint of trade, and which it is con tended are not injurious. Many also desire the amendment of the inter state commerce law, so as to permit traffic agreements among the rail roads, and to eliminate the commod ities clause of the law. The labor in terests will continue their efforts In behalf of a modification of the in junction laws. There is, opposition, however, to all of these measures. The advocates of separate state hood for Arizona and New Mexico de elm t? will have Support OI the president for their measures. There will, however, be an effort to pass the measures over to the sixty first congress. The president will recommend leg islation looking to the supervision of telegraph and telephone lines. Bills will be offered bringing them within the jurisdiction of the interstate com merce commission. Ship subsidy also will receive attention, but the proba bility of action is remote. There will be much discussion of the tariff in the cloak rooms, and the ways and means committee of the house will coutinue its efforts to a bill, but no measure will receive attention on the floor of either house until after March 4, when the propos ed special session will concentrate its efforts upon this one subject. It is even probable that action looking to a change in the print paper and wood pulp schedules will be postponed un til the special session. Both houses will receive recommen dations from the congressional mou etarv commission looking to changes in the laws regulating the supervis ion of national banks, and the pres ent indications are that some time leg islation for that purpose will be en- It is quite certain that the recent agreement between the United States and Japan will receive early consid eration in the senate. Already a num ber of senators have privately ex pressed disapproval of the fact that the compact was entered into without consulting the senate.

Patten, the corn king, with his partner, now con trols 20.000,000 bushels of wheat — more wheat than any one crowd of men ever held in Chicago, the scene of the world’s biggest corn deals, and $1.40 wheat is looked for on the board of trade as a result of the co lossal deal. With Mr. Patten in the big ring are William H. Bartlett, George W. Pat ten and Frank B. Frazer. It is big ger than the Joe Leiter deal when that young plunger lost $9,000,000 just after the world s fair. It is bigger than the John W. Gates corner, in which millions were lost by the cor norer four years ago. It is bigger at least by 6,000,000 bushels than any thing um tiutcri ever auemptecr And yet it is not a corner. It is merely a colossal deal. The Bartlett- Patten bull ring is not endeavoring to buy all the grain in the market and create an artificial condition, as "Old Hutch’’ did when he forced wheat up to $2. Its purpose is merely to use to advantage what is believed to be a world-wide condition, and to have a large amount of wheat to sell when the price soars. In their opinion it will go to $1.33 or $1.40, not as a re sult of purchase, but because of a combination of circumstances around the world over which no man can con trol. PLAWSFOH BATTLESHIPS Are Reviewed by Admiral Capps in His Annual Report. Washington, D. C.—The annual re port of Admiral W. L. Capps, chief contractor of the navy, is very largely devoted to a review of the navy over the plans of the battleships North Da kota and Delaware. Admiral Capps disposes of various phases of criti cisms that have been made of the plans by declaring that the recommen dations for congress made by the Newport conference related only to minor details over which there nat urally would be differences of opinion and improvement from time to time. Admiral Capps refers to the lack of adequate working facilities at many of the navy yards for ships under repair, and says this condition continues to embarrass the bureau and prevent the prompt and economical performance of work. ELECHoTfRaTdT¥ CHICAGO. Outrageous Repeating and Ballot Box Stuffing Charged Oy Grand Jury. Chicago, 111. The ballots of men long residents of other cities, the bal lots of temporary absentees, the bal lots of the insane and even of the dead were cast in the primary elec tion of last August in Chicagjp. ‘’Re peaters'’ voted in platoons,the ..nnoniyru*«® yi wining: unseeing judges and clerks of eh von, and fraud, rampant to an extent hitherto unknown in a city never famous for the purity of its political atmosphere, rendered the resultant party nomina tions morally worthless. These and other startling allega tions are made in the report of the special grand jury, which, after sev eral weeks of delving into charges growing out of Chicago’s first prima ries and returning sixty-one indict ments against two-score or more of politicians and others, adjourned. HONOR MEMORY OF CLEVELAND. Exercises Held by Association of Life Insurance Presidents. New York City.

PRESIDENTON SUFFBAGE Roosevelt Thinks Women Should Vote. Is not Enthusiastic. WOMAN’S CHIEF FUNCTION Her Work in the Household and Rear ing of Children More Important Than any Man's Work. New York City.-—The attitude of President Roosevelt and of Secretary of State Elihu Root on the subject of woman suffrage was disclosed at a meeting under the auspices of the National League for the Civic Educa tion of Women. The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of The Outlook, in the course of an sdSr«nß in oppoaiUon to granting the rights to vote for women, read the fol lowing letter from President Roose velt, which he said he read with the president’s permission, although it was not ‘‘written for publication, ’’Personally, I believe in woman’s suffrage,” says Mr. Roosevelt, al the outset of the letter, which is dated No vember 10, 1908, “but I am not an en thusiastic advocate of it because I do not regard it as a very Important mat ter. I am unable to see that there has been any special improvement in the position of women in those states in the west that have adopted woman suffrage as compared with those states adjoining them that have not adopted it. I do not think that giving the women suffrage will produce any marked improvement in the condition of women. I do not believe that it will produce any of the evils feared, and I am very certain that when wom en, as a whole, take any special in terest in the matter they will have the suffrage if they desire it. "But at present I think most of them are lukewarm; I find some activity for it, and some activity against it. I am, for the reasons above given, rath er what you would regard as luke warm or tepid in my support of it be cause, while I believe in it, I do not regard it as of very much import ance. “I believe that man and woman should stand on an equality of right, but I do noWvbelieve that equality of right means identity of function; and I am more and more convinced that the great field, the indispensable field, for the usefulness of women is as the mother of the family. “It is her work in the household, in the home, her work in bearing and rearing the children, which is more important than any man’s work, and it is that work which should be nor mally -the woman's special work, just as normally the man’s work should be that of the breadwinne’ sup porter of the home, and, ify,"isary, the soldier will light gs the home — v “There are exceptions as regards both man and woman; hut the full and perfect life, the life of highest happi ness and of highest usefulness to the state, is the life of the man and wom an who are husband and wife, who live in the partnership of love and duty, the one earning enough to keep the home, the other managing the home and the children. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.’’ LIQUOR TO DRY TERRITORY. Common Carriers Must Accept Ship ments Tendered. Richmond. Va. —The supreme court of appeals affirmed the decision of the state corporation commission in the case of the Fortner Brewing Company against the Southern Express Compa ny. The effect of the decision is lhat while common carriers must receive shipments for delivery to parties in “dry territory,’’ wholesalers, brewers, distillers ar.d manufacturers cannot avail themselves of lhat right, for by so doing it could be made possible for violators of the law compell com mon carriers to aid and abet violations on account of the consignees receiving the liquor when shipped in large quan tities and then selling it contrary to law. INLAND WATERWAY ROUTE. This is the Purpose of the Convention at New Orleans. New Orleans, La. —Between two and three hundred delegates gathered here in attendance upon the fourth annual convention of the Interstate Waterways League, which has for its object the construction of an inland waterway from the Rio Grande to tho Mississippi.

I I Jl t the next sessftu of the general I assembly of Georgia a bill will be in •j troduced by fro ”, ; Richmond county to amend the state j constitution so that any city may i have the right to issue municipal bonds on 50 per cent of its income bearing property. A draft of the bill has been made out by Mayor Dunbar jof Augusta by whom the proposed ; amendment was conceived, and sub mitted to the legislative committee of the chamber of commerce for their approval, so that it may be possible to carry out the original policy of j preset ting a -bill that bears the’offi cial iidorsement of both municipal authorities and organized commercial i interes*s. Obviously, the purpose of the bill is to provide Augusta a means of raising money necessary for tho erection of a levee for protection against future disaster by flood. Tho j assessed tax valuation of the city’s : income-bearing property is more than $1,500,000, so it will be an easy mat ter to raise sufficient funds by the issuance of municipal bonds if the amendment is ratified.
