raajauj n an. special SESSION still in prog re&8 and nuvhlv time for new SESSION to com? mence. Senator* and Reprewontadres Who Have Bern In Congrons Since April Show Little Interest In Approach of Regular Session?Looking Forward tu Reeree. Washington. Nov. 13.?The long special eeasion of congress promlres to merge Into the regular winter ses elon December 1, with scarcely a rip pie of Interest In Washington. There haa been a rearrangement of plans on the part of President Wilson and the congressional leaders since it became apparent that a consideration of the currency bill would continue into the regular eeeeton, and the promised ac? tivity along new lines, such as anti? trust and railroad legislation, prob? ably will not manifest Itself until early next year. Congress already Is looking forward to the first chance it will have had to get a complete reoeaa from work. The currency debate that opens In the senate tomorrow, and all of the legis? lative work that conies with a new regular session, will be laid aside De? cember SO for a full two weeks' vaca? tion, the first since the extra session began last April President Wilson's determination to drop official duties durtrg that period will Insure a com? plete eeeaatlon of work at the capltol. Details of the anti-trust programme and the at spa to be taken to strength? en the laws controlling railroads and railroad rates have been worked out, and will not be pressed until after the success of the currency bill IS assured. President Wilson's chief ad vteers In the senate are confident that n compromise will be reached In that body, insuring support of a currency bill that can be accepted by the house and by the president Until the debate and exchange of views has developed general support for an administration bill, however, other big legislative subjects will not be allowed to distract attention. The long special session. which closes at noon next Monday, haa ac? complished the passage of but one big piece of legislation, the tariff re? vision MIL The thorough considera? tion that has been given the currency reform? however, and the scope of the educational campaign waged In behalf of the administration b'.ll. has male Democratic leaders hopeful that the currency bill can be passed in January, after but a few weeks of open discussion. The public debate, which opens with Senator Owen's speech tomor? row will continue but three days this week, and will be interrupted the fol? lowing week for consideration of the Hechv bill, and later for the Christ mas reeesa When tha consideration of currency legislation la resumed January ft it is the plan of Democratic leaders to bring the senate aa rapidly as possibly to a decision upon the vital principle* at Issue beteen the va? rious factions. The prealdent's keen Interest in the enactment of new anti-trust legisla? tion has manifested Itself through his conferences recently with house and senate leaders who have made a spe? cial study of the Sherman law and its limitations. He hss not attempted to discuss definite legislative plans, how? ever, and ft Is understood that the work during the early weeka of the new session la to bt. of a preliminary r ha racier, designed to bring cungrees and the president to aa undemanding of what is needed, and the scope of the bills that ahould be Introduced. Members of the senate are study lag closely the two drafts of the cur? rency bill submitted to the senate yes? terday by the factions of the bank? ing and currency committee. It is apparent from the :loae attention that has been given for several weeks to the currency problem by eenators uf both partie? tha* many of them e tu take an aetive part in the tight tha Ts fa follow on the floor. It to betieved no afreet will be nv.de, at least for some time after the debate starts, to tlx any definite time for its conclu? sion The speeches of Senator* Owen and Hitchcock, l?oth Oemo- . ats, leaders of the two factions of the senate com? mittee, probably will occupy the first thren d?>^ of thin week. other dlHcu.'Mlons will be put off Until the regular session b*> begun The regular ggaf eeflattos MUs\ which S/HI hold mueh of the attention of congress after the regular session be gins, are now In course, of prepara? tion In the houso eegJMnltleejg having SjsfjfSJI of estimatei und expenditures.

HAS UNDISPUTED RIGHT lO LAUREL WREATH OP S? I, A. A. Other Ounce In South Which Will bo Steered on Thanksgiving Day Are Nownnro-Varulerbllt, Clemson-Tech, South Carolina-Citadel at Columbia and North Carolina-Vlrglnla. Atls nta, Ga., Nov. 23.?With Au? burn in undisputed possession of the championship of the Southern Inter? collegiate Athletic association for 1913 through its victory here yesterday over the University of Georgia, inter? est among Southern football enthu? siasts now iS centred upon the games which will close the season next Thursday. While the disposal of the S. L A. A. championship before the end of the season doubtless will impart to the Thanksgiving games something of the nature of antl-climaxes, there is little likelihood of a decrease In public In? terest In a majority of these contests, most of which are time-honored in? stitutions. With the exception of the Georgia Auburn battle, Southern football yes? terday produced little of interest, a majority of tho first string elevens taking an off day in order to be in shape for Thanksgiving games. Sin? gularly enough the leading teams of the s. I. A. A. again played to "form" yesterday, Auburn, the strong favor? ite, winning from Georgia by the often predicted margin of two touch downa Gridiron experts has based their forecasts upon the superior weight and reserve strength of Auburn, which all now agree won the championship for the Alabama team. It also is worthy of note that Auburn's style of play was confined exclusively to "old faablcned" football, of the sort play? ed under the "five yards In three downs" rulee. Georgia's one touch? down was due, on the other band, to a well timed forward pass. Perhaps the most interesting of next Thursday's strictly Southern games will be that between Sewanee and Vanderbilt. In view of tho showing made thus far by these elevens, the battle to be fought this year on Dud? ley field should be a herculean strug? gle, with the outcome exceedingly doubtful. Another Southern game that should prove cloee will be the Clemson- Geor? gia Tech meet at Atlanta. Clemson has shown flashes of exceptional strength this year, and In the past has proven a stubborn antagonist against the Tellowjackets. Among the Southeastern Thanksglv. lng games that between Virginia and North Carolina should be one of the best of the year. The V. M. I.-V. P. I. battle also is expected to result in a close score. Other games in the South next Thursday are: South Carolina vs. Cltauel, at Co? lumbia. AT WORK ON NEW CHURCH. Contractor Begins Erection of Wash? ington Street Baptist Church. The work on the Washington Street j Baptist church was commenced in earnest Monday morning and from now on the contractor with his force of hands will be busy at work on the new church. This building, although it will not be as large as some church? es in the city, will be quite a handsome and comfortable church for the con? gregation. For the past week materials have been gathered for the initial work and everything is now ready so that the work can be pushed ahead. SERMON TO 9. D. I.

CHARLESTON YARD MAKES CLOTHES. Secretary Daniels Finds That Clothing Can Be Made at Small Cost, Washington, Nov. 23.?Secretary Daniels is preparing to begin the manufacture of cotton clothing for the navy in the Charleston (S. C.) nevy yard. There are unused build? ings at the plant available and it has been found that there is plenty of labor and raw material in the neigh? borhood. Only a trifling expenditure will bo required, it is said, to provide the necessary machinery. Before deciding upon this move Secretary Daniels made a thorough Investigation into the economic con? ditions surrounding the manufacture of uniforms in the government plants in New York and Philadelphia and in addition thereto tho cost of raw material in those cities as compared to Charleston. It has been found necessary to enlarge the output of the factories as a result of the steady growth of the navy and marine corps and the naval militia, and the secre? tary desired to utilize the buildings al? ready available In Charleston. EFFECT OF NEW LAW. Tariff Act Causes Heated Debate on Floor of Senate. Washington, Nov. 21.?The effect of the new tariff law on the high cost of living and on industrial conditions furnished the material for a lively passage today in the senate. Senator Smoot produced a pamphlet setting forth that reduction of wool and woolen duties would not result in a material reduction in the cost of clothing. Senator Stone, of Missouri, Interrupted him. "When the tariff bill was on the floor," explained Mr. Stone, "the Re? publicans were prophecying industrial and financial disaster as a result of the measure. How can the senator say now that prices will not be reduced. We have seen none of the closed fac? tories, the ruined mills or the squalid soup houses the senator painted so vividly. Now he tells us the cost of living is not reduced. Why, the aver ago stoml-pat Republicans, if he prays \&t all, ie muttering supplications to the skies day and night that a panic may fall upon the country. "But no panic Is in sight. There will be no panic. Let the senator withhold hin prophecies a*? to the cost oT living until he can see the real re? sults of the Democratic tariff law." Senators Kmoot and Gull:iiger de? nied that aS "average stand-pat Ro puldic.'ins." they were hoping for in? dustrial depression. solo by the bushel. ; Hoftlm of Booze Sell Cheap In j YoungMowil.

Cleveland, Nov. 22.?"The c!*y ought to either buy the street railway lines at once or give up the Taylor franchise as a bad job." This is the substance of a statement today issued by President John Stan? ley of the Cleveland Street Railways company, in connection with tho Oc? tober report of the company's con? ditions, under the 3-cent fare ordi? nance. "I advise Mayor Baker to go ahead at once, raise the neceesb.ry $29,000, 000 and buy," says Stanley. The report shows that it will not be necessary to charge a penny for transfers starting January 1, 1914, as anticipated but that this must come by March 1, 1914, in any event. Under the Taylor ordinance the company must constantly show an In? terest fund of $300,000. While this fund is not immediately threatened, It will be in March, when the city must provide for a maintenance def? icit of $217,444.60. President Stanley declared that from the company's viewpoint the 3 cent fare is a failure. THE SUN TO SHINE ON.
