VVashing.on, Dec. 6.—With the btJi fc
of gavels in the senate and hou.ie of
representatives a few minutes after
12 o'clock today, the sixty-fourth con
gress was announced in session.
After swearing in the new members
both bodies adjourned until tomorrov.-,
when it is expected the president will
address the congress in the hall of th >
representat ves. The stage is set for
one of the most momentous sessions
in the history of the nation.
The acute international situation
due to the war, the question of ade
quately preparing the country for de
fense and a multiplicity of other Im
portant pieces of legislation will com
bine to fill the session from beginning
to end with animation.
Exiles Return from Elba.
Some of the leading roles will be
played by history creators of by-gone
congresses—men who "return from
Elba" after two years' exile following
the 1912 upheaval. The chief experi
enced actor of this class will 4>e
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, dethroned as
speaker four years ago, and exiled two
years ago. Another of the old-time
stars will be William B. McKinley of
Illinois, manager of the T&ft campaign
in 1912.
M'nere is a host of new talent, how
ever. In t' e house approximately lof
seats are occupied by new congres
men. The senate has a few new faces.
Cf chief Interest among these is OSCPT
Underwood, who gives up his leader
ship in the house to don a senator's
toga. Curtis of Kansas is a "come
back" senator, being one of the con
servative Republicans driven out in
1912.
Broussard of Louisiana moved fro*-*
the house into the senate. Two of the
most conspicuous absentees are
Root of New York and Theodore Bur
ton, of Ohio. Their .places have been
taken re-r'v°lv bv \Vs4
wor f h and Warren G. Harding, both
of whom wiP be enrolled in the com
monly regarded conservative element
of the senate.
Many Problems Before Congress.
Here are some of the problems wkh
which congress will begin wrestling
tomorrow: National defense, tar.ff,
rural credits, conservation, merchant
marine, seamen's bill amendment, cur
rency bill amendment, anti-trust bill
amendment, the international situa
tion, the Far-eastern question, an em
bargo on arms, Mexico, the Philip
pines, Porta Rico, Haiti, the Colom
bian and Nicaraguan treaties, continu
ing the war tax, taxing munition of
war profits, building an armor plate
factory, prohibition, suffrage, cod fica
tion of the federal statutes and good
road building.
These are all on the present
schedule. Many more entertaining
questions are bound to develop after
congress gets into fu'l swing.
GERMAN SOCIALISTS SPLIT
Divide on Peace Proposals as to Con
quered Territory.
Copenhagen (Via London), Dec. 6. —
The Socialist newspaper Hamburger
Echo says that a strong minority o;
the Socialist representation in tb -
reichstag demands immed.ate peac
negotiations on the basis of Germany
formally abandoning all claims to th
tonquered territories.
According to German reports th
Echo accuiately represents the pos.
tion of the Socialist reichstag minor
iiy, numbering about forty deputies
who threaten to break from the officla'
Socialist party and form a new or
ganization.
The majority, according to these re
ports, disapproves of the minority's
anti-annexationlst attitude.

PRESIDENT IS CHEERED
Denunciation of Dual Citizenship
Brings Hearty Applause.
Washing* on, Dec. 8. —Txie teaturaof
he president's annual address to con
gress which aroused t,ie greatest in
terest and apparently made the deep
est impression was his vigorous de
nunciation of the disloyalty of hyphe
nated Americans.
Both houses of congress and the
crowded galleries hung intently npen
his words when he came to this force
ful part of his address, and finally
gave vent their feelings in a hearty
demonstration of approval.
The applause ran for fully a minute
and was punctuated now and then b>
the Rebel yell from some southerner
who found himself unable adequately
to express his satisfaction by the use
of his hands alone.
REJECTED SUITOR KILLS

Homicide.
Pittsburgh, Dec. 8. —Enraged be

quarrel In the home of her sister, Mrs.
Zole Makrauer. Miss Kreitberg died
in the patrol while being removed to
the Passavant hospital.
It was reported by neighbors that
Schults had shot himself after fleeing
from the house and a trail of blood
leading from the bouse was found by
the police, but they were unable to
find Schults. None of the Makrauer
family witnessed the shooting, exeppt
Irwin Makrauer, five years old, and
Sherman Makrauer, three years old.
FOWLER DENIES STORY
No German Funds Uved by Peaes
Council, He Says.
New York, Dec. B.—Former Repre
sentative H. Fowler of Illinois denied
the participation of German funds in
the activities of Labor's National
Peace Council. "There is not a single
member of the council who is guilty
of ever countenancing these things "
he said.
"Is any pro-German mmey back of
Labor's National Peace Council?" Mr.
Fowler was asked.
"Is there any pro-ally capital back
of your paner?" flashed back the ex
corgressman.
"Not that I know of," replied the
newspaper man.
"Well. I don't know of any pro-Ger
man money either," said Mr. Fowle>\
"I don't know of any having been
used."

Developments even more startling
sre forecast by the attitude of the de

fused to rescind a statement issued
two weeks ago in which it was inti
mated that Von Nuber has been in
volved in a strike plot by evidence se
cured from Dr. Goricar, a former Aus
trian official, despite the reiterated de

a retraction and an apology.
It has been stated that the depart

bring about the prosecution of two
