CUMMINS MOST BITTER IN
ATTACK UPON THE PRESIDENT
i
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 18.—
Senator Cummins made a most bit
ter attack upon President Wilson in
the Senate on Saturday, following
the visit of Wilson to the capital.
The excoriation was made in the
course of the debate upon the
Espionage Bill now being consider
ed in that body and which gives
Wilson geratly increased power.
It was to expedite the passage. ot
the Espionage Bill that Wilson
camfe to the Capital.
The Espionage Bill gives Wilson
sweeping powers and makes it a
criminal offense to collect or seek
to collect, to publish or to aid in
publishing any data as to the move
ment of ships, their cargoes or as
to their being armed or otherwise
Cummins denounced the estab
lishment of a despotism in the Unit
STRIKES FLARE IIP
ALL OVER COUNTRY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 18.—
There is some great concern in in
dustrial circles over the constantly
increasing disturbances due to
strikes. It is admitted that most
of these are for higher wages to
meet increased cost of living, and
the food prices which prevail. The
employers are very reluctant to
grant higher wages because they
openly state that present time con
ditions are abnormal and if an in
crease is once given they will be
unable to reduce them again. The
labor organizations are making
more rapid headway in unorga
nized industries for the past several
months than ever before.
TEDDY REVIEWS PLATTSDORG
CAMP WITH GENERAL WOOD
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—General
Wood is likely to get himself In
bad with the Secretary of War once
again and all through Teddy.
On Saturday Roosevelt, the guest
of General Wood at Governor Is
land, reviewed the Rlattsburg train
ing camp and was the recipient of a
presidential salute. This has caused
excited comment in the papers. It Is
claimed that Roosevelt was no more
entitled to this salute than any
other private citizen and the salute
is exclusively reserved for the re
cognized official head of the nation
and not for any personality however
distinguished.
There are a good many taking the
other side, and it seems pretty gen
erally speaking very much a storm
in a tea cup.

ed States and the creation of an au
tocracy unclaimed by even Euro
pean sovereigns. He declared that
the term* of the proposed bill meant
the suppression of free speech and
a free press and centered upon the
goodwill of the president the indi
vidual constitutional rights. No
doubt, said Cummins, this is only
the beginning and in God's good
time President Wilson would come
before the Senate with a proposal
to curb the discussions within Con
gress itself. He continued to lam
bast Wilson while ioudly applauded
by republicans.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb., IS.—
It is extremely doubtful whethet
the Rivers and Harbors Bill will
be passed this session or not. It
now looks as if emergency measures
may compel the postponement of the
consideration of a lot of work.
MARKET STILL SERIOUSLY
AFFECTED BY THE CRISIS
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Semi
monthly trade reviews show that
there is considerable panicky feel
| ing in trade circles owing to the
uncertain, conditions of the rela
tions between the United States
and Europe. The heavy toll of the
submarines and the possibility that
any day the United States may be
involved is exciting considerable un
easiness.
Some trade journals warn that it
is only a matter of time until a
“spark from the crisis drops among
the gunpowder” signifying the cer
tain feeling that an open rupture is
inevitable. This feeling is very
general although not quite so open
ly expressed.
