General Chang Hsun's refusal to
mediate they intend to .attack the

Friday, the Thirteenth
Brings Forth Very
Interesting Disclosure
This Is Friday, the Thirteenth.
Folks: who stood in front of mov
ing street cars or automobiles con
sidered it a very unlucky day.
It was also unlucky for those who
expected to buy bananas for 15 cents
a dozen.
Men who made had Investments this
morning blamed it on the day.
Street car conductors and motor
men who couldn't keep their schedules
said It was the calendar's fault. Folks
who were on the late street cars said
the conductors and motormen
shouldn't run by the calendar.
The thirteenth frequently comes on
Friday and is always very unlucky,
according to the seers. It is a re
markable fact that every time the
first of the month falls on Sunday
the 13th will be on Friday. Astrolo
gers say this will happen for many
thousands of years. This Is blamed
directly on Julius Caesar, who chang
ed the calendar around some way.
The next time the 13th falls on
Friday the first will have come on
Sunday. Strange, too.

BILL NOW UP

Senate Leaders Depend on
Wilson to Put Bill Into
Shape
WAY BEING CLEARED
Amendment May Strike Out
the Steel and Iron
Provisions
j
By Associated Press
Washington, July 13.—President
Wilson is to-day seeking a way to
straighten out the tangled legisla
tive situation in the Senate that has
held up food control legislation
there.
The President's conclusions on
the subject will be reported to Sen
ate leaders before July 21 when a
vote is to be taken on the food bill
and upon him apparently rests to a
great extent the form the legislation
is to take.
There seemed to be agreeing feel
ing at the Capitol to-day that legis
lation finally will be worked out
which will command general sup
port in the Senate.
Need of Amendment
This feeling was based upon con
ferences between the President and
Senate leaders yesterday at which
the latter outlined the legislative
difficulties and asked his help 'in
solving them.
The President, it is said, was in
formed that the pending bill as
amended to extend government con
trol over iron, steel, copper, cotton
| and other products, in addition to
food and fuel, would have to be
changed if it is to be put through
the Senate.
As a result the leaders were all
agreed to-day that the revised bill
will deal primarily with foodstuffs
and fuel with steel and iron and
other products stricken out.
