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?

AUBURN WIKS FROM GEORGIA.
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.

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

LOW FARE A FAILURE,
I>evlarc<I Bad From Street Railway's
Standpoint.
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.
