SENATE PASSES
CURRENCY BILL
Measure Indorsed . by Demo
cratic Caucus Successful
54 TO 34 IS PASSAGE VOTE
Hitchcock Measure, Urged as Sub For
Currency Bill. Given Creditable Sup
' port, 44 to 41 -CM I 8ervice Ignored.
The ' administration currency bill
was passed In the senate by a vote of
54 to 34.
The senate adopted, as a substitute
for - the house - bill, the . measure
framed by the Democratic Benate- cau
cus, which Is considered satisfactory
to President Wilson.
The Democrats voted solidly for the
measure. Senator Poindexter, Pro
gressive, and six Republicans Joined
the Democratic majority In- the final
vote.
Immediately after the announcement
was made that the bill had passed the
senate named nine conferees to act
on behalf of the senate with a con
ference committee of the house to ad
Just the differences between the sen
ate and house bills.
When the vote on the currency bill
was announced there was enthusiastic,
even uproarious applause on the Dem
ocratic side and in the galleries.
Secretary McAdoo was on the floor
of the senate and Joined In the Jubila
tion. He occupied a chair on the floor
between Senators Owen and HitA'i
cock. In the reserved gallery were
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Miss Eleanor
Wilson and Secretary Tumulty, all of
whom seemed as phased as anybody.
There was a surprisingly close vote
on the bill offered by Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska as a sub for the
measure. The Hitchcock bill was sent
to the senate by the five Republicans
who make up the minority of the
banking and currency committee and
by Senator Hitchcock. It was defeat
ed, 44 to 41. All of the Republicans
and Senator Poindpxter. the Progres
sive, voted for It. The forty-three
votes caBt against it were by Demo
crats. There was one tie vote recorded In
the closing hours of the consideration.
It was on an amendment offered by
Senator Brandagee of Connecticut re
quiring that all appointments made by
the' federal reserve board shall be
made under the civil service law. Vice
President Marshall voted in the nega
tive, thus Wplng the appointments
out of the civil service law and making
them the spoils of the Democrats.
Immediately following this vote Sen
ator Jones of Washington offered an
nmendment providing that nothing In
the act should be construed as to pre
vent the president from placing these
employes within the classified service
after they had been selected. Sena
tor Jones, who Is a Republican, insist
ed that this amendment was a neces
sary complement of the bill, which
had made the appointments the prey
of the spoilsmen. But nearly all of
the Democrats voted for It with the
result that the amendment received
63 votes and was carried in the midst
of hilarity on the Democratic side.
Its effect will be to permit Presi
dent Wilson after all the places have
been filled by Democrats to cover
tbem with the civil service and Insure
their permanency.
The passage of the currency bill
through the senate marks, the second
notable victory for President Wilson.
The bill as It emerged from the strug
gle In the upper house carries all of
the fundamentals upon which Mr. Wil
son and his advisers Insisted, but Is
admittedly a better and safer measure
than the one which left the house of
representatives.
This action by the senate practical
ly ends a fight for currency reform
which began soon after the 1907 panic
and which has been agitated sporadic
ally before that year.
President Wilson and the Demo
cratic leaders see in the measure a
stimulus to business and are confident
it will soon end the cries of calamity
howlers.

URGES PURCHASE
OF WIREBUSINESS
Burleson Believes Government
Should Be Owner
The Wilson administration has de
cided to ur6 government ownership
of "the telegraph and telephone lines
of the United States. This conclusion
is forced upon Washington by the an
nual report of Postmaster, General
Burleson.
In It the postmaster general flatly
advocates government ownership of.
the extensive wire facilities in this
country.
Mr, Burleson has held several long
conferences with the president on this
subject and his strong advocacy iff
this radical Innovation would hardly
have been incorporated In the report
If it had not already met with the in
dorsement of the president.
Furthermore Mr. Burleson now his
the draft of a bill before' him designed
to bring about the transfer of thesa
enormous interests from private to
public hands. It is understood tli.it
Mr. Burleson is considering whether
this bill should be endorsed by the ad
ministration or whether another meas
ure should be framed.
Mr. Burleson contends that the gov
ernment already has legislative
authority .to take over the telegraph
and telephone lines. He Insists that
this authority Is contained In a statute
passed by congress In 1866. Of
course, though, further action would
be necessary by congress to authorize
the necessary bond issue.
Mr. Burleson reports the postal serv
ice self-supporting for the first time
since 1883. He says that for the fiscnl
year, which ended June 30 last, the
department had an actual surplus of
$841,906.
DROPS WESTERN UNION
Telegraph and Telephone Company
Agrees on Dissolution.
On last Friday Attorney Gen
eral McRe; Folds made public details
of an agreement for reorganization ol
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company the "telephone
trust" whl' !i. will prevent litigation
to dissolve that corporation under the
anti-trust act, and under which com
petitive conditions will be restored in
the telephone service of the entire
country and the combine will dispose
of Us holdings in the Western Union
Telegraph company.
The reorganization plan originated
Hth the company, although It followed
many reports that a suit against It
might be filed.
This agreement is the first impr
Bive evidence of the administration's
new policy to co-operate with "big
business" in the matter of readjust
ments under the Sherman law. It is
the most u.couraglng step thus f,r
taken by the Wilson administration
to restore the confidence of the busi
ness Interests of the country.

SET OFHLASTS
Two Explosions Under Walls ot
Holloway Jail in London
(ITTLE DAMAGE TO PRISON
Window Glass In Houses Within a Big
, Radius Suffers Explosive Had
Been Placed In Holes Under Walls.
Residents within a wide radius of
Holloway Jail, London, were startled
by two tremendous explosions in
quick succession. The crashing of
window glass and the shouts of the
police added to the confusion.
It was so. in learned that an attempt
to wreck the outer wall of Holloway
Jail had been made and failed. Hun
dreds of window panes were shat
tered, however.
The outrage was doubtless t!e
work of militant suffragettes, but up
to the present there Is no clue as to
the Identity of the perpetrators.
It is impossible ns yet to say
whether or not the explosion was In
tended as a serious attempt to wre"U
the wall of the jail or n mere "demon
stration" by the militants.
If it was the former it was ignorant
ly conceived. The damage to the w;ill
was lnslgnulcant and the chief mis
chief was in the smashing of windows.
The police found two holes at the
bsse of thn orison will about a font
square and six Inches deep where the
.-xplosives had been s?t off. The wall
of brick Is very thick and was not
pierced.
It Is understood that there Is only
one suffragette now in Holloway Jail,
a member of the arson squad known
as "Rachel Peace," wliose real name
Is unknown. The suffragettes who be
lleve that this woman Is being f.wmn
fed are furious because they nre'un
able to learn the facts. '.' '
S0L0NS ALWAYS WINNERS
New Haven Employes' Card Methods
Are Hinted at.
Explanation of certain payments
made by the New Haven railroad to
newspapermen and former legislators
was sought at a hearing In Boston bo
fore the Massachusetts state public
service commission. George H. Sar
gent, a newspaper reporter, testified
that he received money from the ra'l
road in return for a weekly letter
which he mailed to newspapers in
small towns.
John A. Alarby, who described him
self ns a legislative messenger, ssiil
that he had rp-eived $750 a year for
following legislation.
Information regarding card games,
alleged to have been conducted by
employes of the New Haven company
at a hotel, at which members of tho
legislature were said to have been
allowed to win large sums of money,
was sought from Henry E. Bowden,
another "messenger." Bowden declined
to answer questions on the ground
that the answers might Incriminate
him.
SLOWER THAN USUAL
Holiday Season Dullness In Business

Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"With the approach of the annu-U
Inventory period a feneral slowing
down of business Is to be expected,
yet more ;;ian seasonable quietness
now prevails., both In commercial and
Industrial ciioiinels. Christmas sales
compare fairly well with those of a
year ago, although the activity is not
general.
"Although the running schedule of
steel mills ih likely to be reduced be
fore the year end producers seem to
be more confident as to the outlook.
Demand from the railroads is broaden

AGREE ON REAPPORTIONMENT
Southern Delegation to Next Republi
can Convention Will Be Cut.
A new basis of apportionment to
govern the selection of delegates to
Republican national conventions was
adopted by the Republican national
committee In session in Washington.
The new p!an reduces southern repre
sentation to about 16 per cent of the
total number. Formerly it Wds S3
per cent.
The committee agreed upon a plan
of reapportionment providing for four
delegates at large from each state,
one from each congressional district
and one additional from each district
where tTie total Republican vote was
35 per cent or more of the total vote
cast. No district, however, would
have more than two delegates, states
having con.-.i pssnicn-at-large to be en
titled to one', vofe for each.
Territorir-'a and the District of Co
lumbia would have two delegates each.
The plan provides also that It shall
become effective when it 'Is ratified
by states representing a majority of
the electoral college. '
Under thfs' plan' 'represenlatlon in
national conventions Is - reduced by
seventy delegates.
The' plan" of the subcommittee to
recdgnlze 'T-Hniary laws and change
the rules governing conventions was
adopted by tiie committee.
On a point raised by Committee
man Chubb of Florida it was an
nounced that the resolution would be
changed so that In states where It Is
optional whether a party shall hold
primaries lor the election of delegates
they Bhall be selected in the old man
ner and the primary plan shall be ob
served only in states where the,law
provides specifically for such action.

TO LAY NORTHERN

Sherman's March to Sea Tame
lii Comparison
FEDERALS FORMULATE PLAN
Villages to Be Razed, Farms to Be
Ruined and Railroads to Be De
stroyed as Column Moves South.
Complete destruction of northern
Mexico to render it untenable for
Panclio Villa and other rebels has
been ordered by Victoriano Huerta
and his army at Ojinaga is to carry
out the orders.
Villages are to be laid In waste,
farms swept off the map and desola
tion will be left in the trail of the
federal army, similar to that whichj
marked the campaign, a few niontUC
ago against Zapata In southern
Mexico.
The Mormon colonies In the vicinity
of Casas Grandes are to be particular
marks for the destruction that is to
be carried on. Inez Salazar Is to com
mand the column that la to make
Sherman's march to the sea look like
a Sunday school picnic.
General Salvador Mercado, supreme
federal commander In Chihuahua, has
been Ignored and Is to be recalled to
Mexico City because he evacuated
Chihuahua and fled to the border. Sal
azar's orders, according to secret In
formation gathered by United States
officers, are to sweep a path twenty
miles wide for the entire distance from
Ojinaga to Casas Grandes. Both the
Mexican Central and Mexican North
western railroads are to be destroyed
as they are crossed, according to the
plan of the campaign, cutting the
rebels off from Juarez and Chihuahua.
All men found In the path of the Sal
azar column are to be impressed into
service or shot and the women and
children left to shift for themselves.
All rebels found within the zone are
to be executed without trial and all
known rebel sympathizers are to be
arrested.
After the battle at Conception del
Oro, Mex., 200 rebel and federal dead
were burned. The federals were vic
torious, routing the Constitutionalists
after ten minutes' fighting.
OHIO TO BETTER LIVE STOCK
Eugenics Will Be Enforced by State

"Live stock-eugenics for Ohio after

Live stock owners will pay the state
a $2 fee for "a certificate of health"
for their sIMlions and breeding ai.i

the standard required by law they enn
not be utilized.
"It will eventually make Ohio live
stock as good as Imported stock,"
Sandles de-lared.
SHOT FIRED INTO CAR
Trolley Passenger's Right Eye Is

WHEN OLD AGE IS A CURSE
When it has lost self-respict.
When they have no aim In life.
When hope and cheer have fled.
When ambition and aspiration are
dead.
When the imagination is foul and
the thought impure.
When young people cannot live with
It with any comfort.
When they do not stand for any
thing In their community.
When they have lost the zest for
life, the desire for usefulness.
When it has developed only vulgar
ity, coarseness and animality.
When their neighbors would not
consider their departure any loss.
When all the youthful fires have
gone out and only embers remain.
When the Individual has not learned
the art of self-control and patience. .
When the Individuality has been
burned out by the fires of dissipation..
When the sap of life has gone and
the Individual Is like a Julceless
orange.
When all the reserves of energy and
force have been prematurely exhaust
ed by a vicious life.
When It has left the Individual ugly,
disagreeable, touchv. cvnlrni, critical,
uncharitable, unkind.
When the old have not won the re-
pect, the confidence and the admira
tion of relntlves and those nearest to
them.
When all that Is good, sweet and
noble has evaporated and life Is empty.

DISCHARGING OBLIGATIONS.
He can always send his hostess
books, candy or flowers or fruit.
For a girl It is perhaps easier to
make some return for hospitality, as
much less Is expected of her.
Sometimes If she shows a willing
ness to mnke herself useful to the
older woman It will be much appre
ciated. For a man to continually accept
hospitality and never return It In any
way makes him known as a social
grafter.
Flowers nent tinder all conditions
discharge an ordinary obligation if
one does not care or has not time to
call personally.
Busy hostesses often find little time
to shop ami are glad to have some
body willing to relieve them of this
necessary duty.
Then there Is always a tempting
little tea shop where a girl may take
her older friends for a few stolen
minutes sxnt in a cozy chat.
If his pocket book will admit he may
arrange a theater party and Invite his
hostess and a few others to whom he
may feel himself under obligation.
HOMEMADE PHILOSOPHY
If you feel like swearing, why,
swear. It's the feeling, and not the
words that do the harm.
Prayer alone won't move a country,
nny more than a lone dove can repro
duce her kind without a companion.
When a man has no longer nny de
sire to live, his heart Is as lonely as
tho grave which looks so restful to
him away out In the shadows.
Scientists are now attempting to
give reasons for Noah's flood. Some
time I hope tho flood will be able to
give excuses for the scientists.
Mow useful nre you In the world,
young man? On this point hnngs all
your future success. Not how beau
tiful or dainty, but what force are
you?
If you can't do any good yourself,
persuade your neighbor to do all the
good he ran. Drownpd bodies nro
