DEFENDED PRESIDENT
lit Among First in Congress to
Rebuke Criticism of Wilson
Administration
By the United Press
Baltimore. Auk. 28
Senator Ollle SI. James, of Kentucky,
died at 6 35 o'clock this morning at the
Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he had
been a patient several months, suffering
from stomach trouble. When he was ad-
i-j WUted to the Institution, It was not be
lieved that he was In any Immediate
danger, but his condition became critical
several weeks ago. Senator James was
confident until his last hours that he
would recover. He was forty-seven
years old.
The death of Senator Ollle M Jamei
removes from the. Senate one of Its most
striking figures and one of the staunch
est friends of the Administration
He was an Intimate friend of Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Tumulty.
A giant in stature, with a tremendous
voice. Senator James was known in na
tional politics long before he took his
teat in, the Senate five years ago.
In House rive Terms
He served five terms In the House of
Representatives, had attended Demo
cratic national conventions since 1896,
and presided at the tumultuous session
In Baltimore in 1012 when Wilson was
nominated for President.
Once In the Senate he soon became
one of the Administration leaders. His
famous speech last vv Inter in defense of
the Administration's war policy was re
garded by his friends as his best.
Jt followed the now famous address
of Senator Chamberlain In New York,
when the chairman of the Military
Committee declared r e military estab
lishment had fallen down
"President Wilson walks the tight
rope. It stretches across the sea with
Its wreck and dead," declared James
"He holds in his hands the richest
treasure ever lodged In the keeping of
one man since God said 'Let there be
light." The treasure Is our very life, our
liberty, our Institutions, our homes, our
firesides, our all.
"Ilo Not Shake the Rope"
"Oentlcmpn, let me plead with jou
plead with all Americans do not shake
the rope. Do not badger him. Do not
heckle him. Do not unnoy him He
will make the journey safely over this
ocean of blood and peril. Keep silence !
Hold your tongues !"
From the start of the war, the Presi
dent had no more loyal supporter than
James. Administration policies were
stoutly supported by him. Only on the
question of woman suffrage did James
differ with the nation's head. He was
an "antl." and remained so to the last.
As a political leader James had few
peers. He was only twenty-five ears
old when he attended his first Demo
cratic national convention.
norn In Kentucky
Senator James was born In Crittenden
County, Ky., July 27, 1S71, the son of
Tj. H. James, one of the most promi
nent lawyers in the Commonwealth. He
received, his education In the common
and academic schools of the county, and
after his craduntlon entered his father's
office and began the study of law. His
" first political position was that of page
In the Kentucky Legislature In 1887.
Mr. James was admitted to the bar In
1891. an& rapidly rose to a commanding
position In his profession. He was one
of the nttornevs for Governor Goebel
In his celebrated contest for the office of
Governor of Kentucky, and acquitted
himself so creditably that he was looked
upon as one of the rising men In the
Commonwealth. He hegan early to take
a keen Interest In politics, and was ap
pointed a delegate to the Democratic
National Convention in 189G, where he
was chosen chairman of tho Kentucky
delegation, and made a speech second
ing the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan for the presidency. He also was
elected a delegato to the Democratic
National Convention In St Louis In
1904 and In Denver four years later. At
both of these he was again chosen to
head the Kentucky delegation. He was
permanent chairman of the convention
that nominated Governor Woodrow Wil
son, of New Jersey, for President at
Baltimore In 1912, and of the .St., Louis
convention which renominated hlifo four
yea.-B later In St. Louis. On both of
these occasions he was selected to make
the speech notifying Mr. Wilson of his
, nomination. i

Falls in Chimney Head First
VerchsutTlU, N. J., Aug. 28. Thomas
Davenport, while cleaning out a chimney
from the roof of his home in Homestead
vllle, fell down ther chimney head first,
ana pan oj me wan naa xo ue aemoi
lshed before.he could be gotten out.
By the Associated Press
Detroit. Mich., Aug. 28
With the result of the senatorial fight
definitely determined in the nomination
of Commander Truman II, Newberry as
Republican and Henry Ford as Demo
cratic candidates, interest today In
Tuesday's primaries swung to the hot
fight being waged for the Democratic
gubernatorlaj nomination.
Incomplete returns on the Republi
can senatorial contest from sixty-four
out of eighty-three counties In the S'ato
gave Newberry a plurality of 13,031
over Henry Ford, who was a candidate
on both tickets, and Chaso S. Osborn.
In the Democratic gubernatorial con
test the slight lead held on early re
turns by ndward Frensdorf, of Hudson,
over John W. Bailey, of Batle Creek,
was wiped out when tho big Wayne
County (Detroit) vote began to come.
These returns, combined with incom
plete figures from twcnty-flVH other
counties, gave Bailey a nnjorlty of 1364.
The figures were: Bailey, 3720; Frens
dorf. 2356.
In the Demacratlc balloting for Senator
Ford won an easy race Trom his lone
opponent, James W, Helme.
Two of the. sl congressional ccntesls
of the State are htlll In doubt, returns
from the First and Thirteenth (De
troit) districts being too meager to Indl
cite whether or not Congressmen Frank
H. Doremus and Charles A. Nlcinls
have been renominated. In tho KUhth
District partial returns show Congress
man Joseph W. Fordney renominated
for tho tenth consecutive time by a
majority estimated at 2500.
San Francisco. Aug. 29. The Repub
lican nomination for Governor of Cali
fornia was In doubt early oday, with
both Governor William D. Stephens and
Mayor James Rolpli, of San Francisco,
predicting success Rolph sought both
the Democratic and Republican nomina
tions, i
For the Republican nomination G65
precincts out of C303 gav'o Rolph 21,184
and Stephens 12,677.
Helena, Mont., Aug. 28. With 248
completed precincts repor'lng earlv to
day out of a total of 1403, Dr. O. M.
Lanstrum, of Helena, was leading for
the Republican senatorial nomination
with 1271 votes over his nearest oppo
nent, Mls3 .leannette Rankin, Represen
tative In Congress.
Cobimbln, S. C. Aug. 28. Nat B. Dial,
of Laurens, has been nominated for the
long term In the United States Senate to
succeed Benjamin R, Tillman, defeating
both Cole L. Blease, and James F. Rice
In the South Carolina Democratic pri
mary today. i:aly today Mr. Dial had
a majority of approximately 10,000 over
both his opponents, a lead of nearly
14,000 over Blease.
To fill the remainder of the unex
pired term of Senator Tillman, there
will be a second primary, probably be
tween. W. P. Po'lock of Cheraw, and
Thomas H. Peeples, of Barnwell. Sen
ator Christie Benet, who holds the seat
by appointment Is running a close third
and may finish ahead of Peeples and
enter the second race with Pollock.
For Governor, Robert A. Cooper, of
Laurens, appears to have been nomi
nated without the necessity of a second
primary.
Representative Byrnes, of the Second
District, and Representative Lever, of
the Seventh District, have been re
nominated. Representative Nicholls, of
the Fourth District, will have to go into
a second primary with Horace L
Bomar. Representative Dominlck, of the
Third District, Is leading former Repre
sentative Wyatt Aiken, but the result
is yet in doubt.
Washington, .Aug. 28.
DAMON and Pythias, In their palml
est days, "did not have much" on
Arthur G. Devvalt, of Reading, and
Henry J. Steele, of Easton. The "un
scrambling" of these two distinguished
Democratic Congressmen from Penn
sylvania Is unthinkable. They walk
together, eat together, think together
and sleep under tho same roof. The
beauty and charm of their friendship
Is recognized and appreciated by their
colleagues on both sides of the
House, and the wonder is that
the Palmer-McCormlck aggregation of
Democratic leaders fall to giasp It.
Devvalt was formerly a State Senator,
and In 1909 and 1910 was Intrusted
with the Democratic State chairman
ship. He has proved himself more of
a lawyer than politician In Washing
ton, and as a member of the Inter
state and Foreign Commerce Commit,
tee has sustained the standards of
the bar of Pennsylvania. His speeches
oij the railroad-control bill, the war
risk Insurance bill and other great war
measures were carefully listened to by
the House, which Is unusual In debates
Involving technical and intilcate legal
research.
Congressman Steele, who1 was early
recognized as a sound lawyer by rea
son of the fact that the Pennsylvania
Rir Association had called him to the
presidency, also enjoys the same gen
erous attention of the House when he
speaks. Steele is a member of the
highly important committee of the ju
diciary and has been assigned to much
of the work requiring the considera
tion of a mature and well-balanced
mind. Add George S. Graham to this
combination and the Pennsylvania
lawyer Is fairly well represented in
Congress.
A M
THE homestead at Fourth and
Mount Vernon streets, Camden,
lives Mrs. Henry B. Wilson, widow
of a foimer postmaster and the proud
mother of Rear Admiral Heniy B.
Wilson, Unfted State navy, now In
command of tho patrol force of the
Atlantic fleet. The rear admiral has
reached his present high station by a
quiet and bteady devotion to duty
slnco he entered the Naval Academy
at Annapolis upon the recommenda
tion of the late George M. Robeson.
It was as Commander Wilson he
brought tho scout cruiser Chester up
the Delaware a few jcirs ago, and
later on, when he had become Captain
Wilson, the battleship Pennsylvania,
the greatest In the navy, was placed
under his command. Ills advance
ment to rear admiral followed in reg
ular order, bringing with It tremen
doiyj responsibilities In connection
with tho war.
Like most naval officers. Admiral
"Vllson Is a man of action rather than
words. His best-known effort at
speechmaklng was during a Chester
banquet in honor of the arrival of the
cruiser, on which occasion the admiral
then commander arose, blushed and
requested Senator Sproul and William
I. Sehaffer to do the talking.
IF CAPTAIN HOBSON had heard
the speech of William A. Gray,
counsel for the defendants in the Fifth
Ward case, he would probably have
taken an exception to the latter's re
ference to Ex-Judge Gordon, The
hero of the Merrimac 13 tho author of
"The Great Destroyer." a carefully pre
pared lecture on the demon rum,
copies of which he franked from
Washington to hundieds of thousands
of people throughout the country.
While a member of Congress from
Alabama, the captain was on tho
jump a good deal responding to de
mands for this lecture, in the course
of which he declared that John Bar
leycorn had destrojed more people
than had ever gone down In war. This
was before the Kaiser started his
great raid on humanity, and In ad
vance, of courfce, of Mr. Gray's dis
covery of the destructive elements In
tho make-up of Judge Gordon. Hob
son, by the way, is no longer an Ala-
bamlan. He has located near Chicago,
and Is interested in chatauquas
augural parades, Augustus Relmer
would step up Pennsylvania avenue
with tho liveliest of them, Gus vns a
stocky little, fellow, with ruddy cheeks
and a neatly trimmed beard and a
strong predilection for spats nnl
nobby clothes. Including a coloied
waistcoat and a high hat. As a
dresser Gus was a fair match for the
late George A. Castor, of Holmesburg,
and he did love to mix up with "the
big fellows" In politics. When Joel
Cook came to Congress Gus made
several trips to Washington to get his
army status defined. Ho had been
one of the Pennsylvania Reserves who
served less than ninety days during
tho Civil War and felt that an In
justice was done these men In not
giving them a pensionable status He
worked at this for a long time, liut'i
found In the end that Congress would
not remove the limitation. Now wo
read that Gus has gone and that the
bulk of his estate has been willed to
the Young Maennerchor.
D11
it ever occur to you that the
hotel waiter is observant?
none of my business, perhaps.
he says, "but the price of sugar hasn't
gone up since the portions to cus
tomers has been cut down." This was
in response to the suggestion that Mr.
Hoover was drawing the line rather
harshly agalrlst the coffee cup. "It's
not for mo to say," continues the
observant one, ' ut if you Jay more
for what jou cat and get less sugar,
and we buy less sugar and pay the
same old price for it, vv o should not
worry. We are very loyal, sir, to the
food administration."
And then the chambermaid comes
along and says: "Monday mornings in
theso Washington hotels are sure blue
Mondays. Ev cry body goes over to Balti
more on Saturday and Sunday, and on
Monday we have tho headaches and
tho empties." And the bartender who
passes the deceptive bev erage over the
temperance bar sagely exclaims: "It
looks like tho leal thing gentlemen,
but it lacks tho conversation." Yes,
jou can learn much from tho waiters
in Washington theso days.
fTlHE House has five official reporters
- of debates and one of them Is John
D. Cremer, formerly of the Philadel
phia Press. To these five men falls
the responsibility of taking steno
graphically the proceedings reported in
the Congressional Record. The office of
official reporter Involves the hardest
kind of work and only the most ex
pert shorthand man can hold it It is
such a position, moreover, as appeals
to well read and highly educated men.
Once an official reporter, and in the
good graces of the House, the tenure
is fairly well assured, as is evidenced
In the case of Ciemer, who is the
youngest of the five In rank, although
he has been In harness for nearly ten
years. Cremer's newspaper work. In
Philadelphia started him on the road
to Washington. He distinguished him
self as a labor reporter in the early
"It's days w hen Powderly was general
sir," -
master workman of the Knights of
Labor, and when Edward E. Davis,
Peter J. Hoban, Harvey M. Watts,
Richard Harding Davis, George J,
Urennan, George Barton, Tracy Robin
son, Arthur Morrow and Thomas U.
Blynn scoured Kensington and Port
Richmond for strike news. Having
acquired a mastery of shorthand he
became attached to tne staff of Samuel
J. Randall, speaker of the House.
Jhe famous Third District leader too
a warm Interest In Cremer and relied
largely upon him. After Randall's
death Cremer was an official stenog
rapher to House committees, advanc
ing to the grado of official reporter of
debates when a vacancy occurred In
tho group of five John is rated A-l In
the profession. It was he who "took"
the House prayer of Billy Sunday, who
has a leputatlon foi "killing" stenog
laphers by his rapid talk. When the
prayer was over and the notes were
transcribed. Billy admitted that
Cremer had "beaten him to it "
LISTEN to David E. Dallam, of
I Germantown, who has been study
lng the war conditions as they relate
to revenue! After declaring that Phil
adelphia Is 10,000 houses short of the
needs of Its people because the build
ers cannot get material with which to
construct them, Mr. Dallam launches
Into more Intimate relations with the
public. He says:
"Is labor saving anything' Only
a little. In mv Judgment, what we;
call labor, that is those who are paid
by the hour or day, are now lecelving
from 180 to 200 per cent of what they
received in 1913 Some men are now
receiving nine or ten dollars per day
where they formerly received three or
four dollars On a pleasant week-day
they will take a holiday, and then
work on Sunday and get double pay
"The shortening of tho hours has
shortened tho output. Any manufac
turer you will ask will tell you that
the output today Is, under tho same
conditions, only about 75 per cent of
the output of 1913. '
"Women laborers have Increased
largely In numbers. The factory girl
who was receiving from $8 to $10 Is
now obtaining from $20 to $23. She
may pay her parents a little more
board, but most of the Increase goes
Into silk underwear and things that
she never had before.
"Go down to the market, as I do.
and you will find the wife of tho
laborer buying artichokes and aspara
gus at higher prices than I am willing
to pay.
"If the restrictions on business were
done away with and business allowed
to go on as usual, the excess profits
could be taxed at some rate like
England, at SO per cent, and Jou will
soon find theie will be no profiteering."

Final Clearance of Rugs and Carpets at
Prices Below Present Wholesale Cost
What with the growing labor shortage and increasing demands upon the mills for Government supplies there
has been a constantly decreasing output and increasing cost of floor-coverings. Fortunately, the bulk of our enor
mous stock was contracted for before these conditions became acute and, during 'these final August Sale days, we have,
reduced even those early prices. In many cases, our present real quotations are below the factory cost of to-day.
We quote a few items, indicative of the remarkable savings possible during these three final days:
