he touched the button opening the

The day’s debate further was en-

the Payne law was 1.71 per cent higher
than the Dingley law with the statis-

"The statistics that the ways and
means committee presents today shows
that the statement is utterly un-
founded and false," shoute Mr. Payne.
Those members participating in the
Colloquy announced that they would
bring representatives of the ways and

tentions.

version from the strain from his du-

read if time hung heavily and planned
to stop along the shore for a short
walk some time tomorrow. Miss
Eleanor Wilson, the youngest daughter,
accompanied the president. The only
other member of the party wes James
Sloan, chief of the White House secret
service. Secretary Tumulty, and even
the president’s stenographer, stayed in
Washington.

strenuous week. The first part of next
week he expects to spend in hearing
arguments from some of the Senators
opposing free wool and free sugar On
Thursday and Friday he will go to
make his appeal to the people of New
Jersey to support the jury reform bill
which failed in the last session of the
Legislature and to Influence the call-
