TALKS OF COMMISSION
RESULTS IN NO ACTION
Members of Congress, However,
Averse to Giving
Up Hold.
Washington.?Congress, it was
]earned has no idea of giving up its
hotel or loosening its grip cn the so-j
culled "pork barrels" no matter how
earnestly the president may insist
open the appointment of a commission
to take a hand in the distribution
of funds going to river and harbor
works, reclamation projects, irrigation
plants and flood cont.o
matters.
After a talk which the presiden.
had witli Representative S. f.l. Spark
man, chairman of the house rivci
and harbor committee, it developed
that when the river and harbor bill
rs submitted at an early date there .
will ho an amendment providing for J
the appointment of a commission to |
consist of the secretary of war, the
seeretary of agriculture, the secietary
of the interior and the secretary
of commerce, this commission
to coordinate a plan by which the
work pertaining to these four impoilant
government departments
may be united. At least it is proposed
to have this commission coopcrate
with the chief of engineers for
the war department in making investigations
and recommnedations for
the work, and upon these recommendations
it is proposed to have congress
make the necessary appropria
lions. It is not known yet whether
the cabinet officers would desire to
assume additional duties which
would be necessary should the present
proposition be adopted.
At the capitol little sentiment
could be found indicating that the
memDers ot congress wouiu oe wining
to give up any part of their work
pertaining to waterway development
and that they would look askance at
the efforts of the proposed commission
to take over any part of their
prerogatives. One thing was most
pronounced. This commission may
recommend what it may think best
hut it will remain with the various
members of congress to say what
shall be done towards making the actual
appropriations. While they approve
the general plan of securing
more information they are not prepared
to give up any part of their
hold on the alleged "pork barrel"
bills. i ii 1

Franklin Objects Seriously. j
She isn't very large, that's true, hut '1
being a county seat, and boasting of ^
a college, several factories, tiour mills, i:
railways, interurbnns and her lately n
acquired Masonic home, Franklin feels 0
that she is not a town to be passed ^
lightly by, in fact, she knows her importance,
and thought that everyone In
the state realized it until she was 1
taken down a hit lately. During the 1 a
big conference of the Methodist h

was in session at the same time at

delegates, on leaving the train joined It'.
iVf |he tlirong headed for the Method- u
1st clittveh. When It came to regis- j
tering, sonic of Jits inquiries caused j
someone to suggest that probably he
was in the wrong place, and he asked

Rather Embarrassing. p
Irvin Cobb, the wnr correspondent,
home from Europe long enough recent- ?

proof sheets of a new liook., attended

A deaf man sat next to Cobb. Farther
down the table another man told
n funny story, and when he finished, \
the deaf man laughed and applauded
louder and longer than any of the
rest. ' i
"Good old boy!" shouted the deaf ?
man. "That reminds me of a story," he ,

"Get up and tell it, Charlie," cried

Then the deaf man got up and told

The undertaker arose and said to
the mourners assembled :
"If anyone present wishes to say a
few words of tribute to the deceased,
now Is the time, when the family will
be glad to hear such."
A stillness prevailed, und after a
few moments of silence it was broken
by a young mau, who arose and
asked:
"Do 1 understand that no one wishes
to make any remarks?"
"It would appear so," replied the
undertaker.
"Then," asked the young tnnn, as a
light came into his eyes, "may I be
permitted to make a few remarks
about southern California and its won*

THE HORRY HI
SAY GERMANY WANTS
TO END THE WAT
British Press Declares Teutons
Answer Shows Failure or
Wilson's hiote.
London, Dec. 27.?The promptness
of the German government's reply
to President Wilson's note is characterized
by the evening nowspap: rs
today as evidence of Germany's eagerness
to bring the war to an end.
The Standard says:
"It would be a mistake to neglect
the German peace maneuvers, but it
would be even more fatal to weste
time over them. We trust the government
will give President Wilson
,i perfectly courteous but also a definite
reply and then get on with the
war as energetically as possible."
The following is from the Westminister
Gazette:
For two or three days the pre
:cnsc was kepi up that American pro
>osal was an unfriendly attempt to
match 'the prize of victory from the
Herman people, but this clearly is
iot at all the view of 1 lie German
government which sees in it a wel:ome
opportunity to improve the occasion
and at the same time push for
ivai\l its own proposal for stopping
he war. President Wilson is not
o blame for this and we should be
rery unwise to rush to the conclusion
that he expected to receive this
inswer and was to that extent playng
into the hands of the Germr.ns
Up to Germany.
Commenting on a Washington dis)atch
saying President Wilson was
nspired by a desire to give the V el igerents,
especially Germany a bcter
cause for confining their proposes
to a final settlement to an exshange
of views was the most appropriate
road in order to rea;h the
lesired results, the Westminister
Hazette adds:
"Suppose the belligerents wcr to
:ease hostilities and enter- into a con
erence with an enemy who just

"There are apparently many mismderstandings
both here and,, in
America about President Wilsori's
ntentions, and that makes it the
noro important that we should mrk^
ur own position plain. We hop"4,
herefore, that our reply to the Am
rican note will be a careful and well
casoned statement of the position
s we understand it, and a mere
asty dismissal of the American j
ote as if it were ultra vi us. Thej

' MOONEY ON TRIAL
1 FOR DYNAMITING
, Second Trial Resulting From
Preparedness Day Tragedy
Begins in San Franciscoi
San Francisco.?With W. Bourke
Cockran oecuping the spotlight as
chief counsel for the defense, the
i econd trial resulting from the preparedness
parade dynamiting here
began in superior court today.
Thomas J. Mooney, alleged leader
of the four men and one woman aciuscd
of having plotted to place the
bomb which exploded in the midst
of paraders on July last, killod 10
persons and injured 40, was on trial
for his life.
The presence of Cochran has
drawn the attention of the country
to the trial in much the same way
that Clraence Harrow's activity in
the defense of the McNamara brothers
drew the country's attention te
that trial five years ago.
Following the conviction in September
of Warren K. Billings, first
of the five alleged conspirators
tried, Cockran, noted New York lawyer,
volunteered his service to the
dc fensc. He will 'serve without compensation,
according to officers of
the International Workers' Defense
league, wheih is conducting the defense.
Robert Miiner, a New York
cartoonist, is treasurer of this organization.
Indicted with Mooney as a co-defondant
arc his wife, Rena Mooney,
a music teacher and sti ike organizer;
Edward Nolan, a machinist, and
Israel Weinberg, an automobile driver.
Thomas Mooney, leader of the
defendants, was active in spreading
strike propaganda and had planned
to cause a general strike of United
Railways platform men here a short
time before the fatal preparedness
' ''ay parade.
It was alleged by the prosecution
that the bomb had been set to explode
at a time when non-union em!
nl efKA/.* 1 '
t?.?vi. vnvi on. cc railway lines
would pass the point where the bomb
l)ad been placed at Steuart and Market
streets, but thrit a delay in the
Mart of the parade up3et the plans
q? thp dynamiters.
The defense declares all the defendants
are innocent and are victims
of circumstantial evidence.
Mooney surrendered to the police
after reading newspaper statements
that he was complicated in the
crime. He was stopping at a summer
resort at that time.
The case has been featured by several
alleged confessions which were
later refuted. A number of photographs
taken on the day of the preparedness
parade are held by both
sides as evidence.
The trial opened in Superior
Judge Frank P. Dunne's chambers.
District Attorney Charles M. Fick- j
ert and a corps of depuitos repre- j
sent the prosceution while Cockran,]
and Maxwell McNutt, represent the
defense.
