Show NO DISCORD THERE THER TALES OF FRICTION BETWEEN PRESIDENT NT AND MEMBERS OF CABINET ABINET ARE FALSE RESENTED IN WHITE DIE HOUSE I Facts Show Mr Wilson and Secretary I Bryan Were In Complete Accord Concerning Chinese Loan and Senate Senate Sen Sen- ate Control By GEO GEORGE GE CLINTON Washington One One does docs not have to togo togo togo go to the White House offices to learn that there is resentment there because of the stories which occasionally Uy float through the country and which intimate intimate inti Inti- mate even if it they do not directly state that there Is friction n between Mr l Wilson and this member or that member of his cabinet over some Important Important Im Im- legislative matter In the stories which have been printed here and there of discord In Inthe Inthe Inthe the cabinet Mr r Bryan Dryan has has has' figured more than any any other cabinet r. r ember rember It Is perfectly apparent that the tho White House and state d department feel badly about what the friends of the ho president t and the secretary say is IS complete completa misapprehension n of facts It Il happens that Mr Bryan Dryan was war in the thew w west st when Mr Wilson gave out his statement concerning the Chinese loan loam At once a story was published in quite a number of places that Mr Bryan had not been consulted about this department matter and that therefore there would be ructions as soon as he came back There were no ructions when he returned Truth About Chinese Matter Here is the story of this particular lar matter Five days before Mr Bryan Dryan Bry Dry an left Washington t to g go west the Chinese Chinese Chi Chi- nese uese loan matter was gone gone- over In detail by the president and the secretary secretary sec eec of state Mr Wilson wrote hIs message to the country on the subject subject subject sub sub- but Mr Bryan aided in the writing writing writing writ writ- ing and sanctioned every line of It Ii After Atter the president and the secre secretary secre tary had prepared the outline of oC the document it was submitted to the cabinet cab cab- inet met and there discussed then Mr Wilson and Mr Bryan Dran went over it again and both agreed that it was In proper form to be given to the countr coun coun- tr try Mr Bryan went away and while he was away the Chinese loan message message mes meso sage was given to the press It might have carried with it If Mr Bryan's Bryans Bryans Bryan's Bryans Bryan's Bry Bry- ans an's signature in addition to that o of Mr ir Wilsons Wilson's for Cor he could have put his tiis hand to something to which he be had bad already alread giver his heart In dispatches from Washington prior prior prior or to the time that the senate Democratic Democratic Demo- Demo c cratic caucus met and named Senator Kern of Indiana as the leader and appointed appointed ap ap- pointed a steering committee to assign assign assign as as- sign in members to committees it was said that hat the progressives would be beIn bein bein in control of ot the caucus of the steerIng steerIng steer- steer Ing log committee and of the committee themselves It was also said that certain conservative senators of long service would be made chairmen of important committees because of their seniority right but that the committees committees commit commit- tees themselves or those of any particular particular particular par par- legislative importance would be controlled by the progressives and that the cha chairmen no matter how conservative conservative conservative con con- they might be would find themselves themselves overruled overruled by their progressive progressive progressive sive fellow committee members Progressives Progressives' In Control Since these committees were appointed appointed ap ap- ap- ap pointed although It was mado made perfectly perfect perfect- ly clear In advance that seniority would demand the giving of certain chairman chairmanships ships to conservatives it has been held In some places that the giving g o of these chairmanships to theold the theold theold old timers means that the conservatives conservatives conservatives conserva conserva- tives have defeated the progressives and are are in control of the Democratic majority In the senate of the United States Senator Kern the Democratic Democrat Democrat- ic leader when asked risked about the matter matter matter mat mat- ter said If there is an an anI doubt as asto asto asto to the the control of ot these committees analyze the membership An analysis sis sla shows that the progressives or at least men who vho have agreed to be progressives progressives pro pro- and In whom confidence Is placed are In Ia control of every very committee committee com corn of importance in the senate of the United States All ll of this was done In advance Mr Bryan Dryan knew of the course which was to be taken and he ho gave his approval approval ap ap- ap but he did not give it as one whose approval was necessary but as oDe one who having his views in the matter matter matter mat mat- ter wanted to show chow that they were like those of the president and of the progressives in the senate Tariff Plan Settled With all the preliminary troubles troubles trou trou- bles between the Democrats of ot the house and senate over the question question ques ques- tion of what the rates should hould be on certain articles of Import It now seems that matters have been pretty well straightened out and that largely through the In Influence of the president a tariff bill will be put through congress with comparatively little friction Tho The hope of the leaders leaders lead lead- ers ers today is that the bill will be signed signed sign sign- ed d and that congress may adjourn certain certainly I by July uly 1 I. It virtually has been assured that there will be one comprehensive tariff tarla tar tar- iff la bill Instead of or a dozen or so separate sep sep- arate bills each one concerning Itself with different schedules It Is apparent from what many of or orthe the Democratic leaders say that the next tariff law while It will be radically radical radical- ly different from the one now In existence existence exist exist- I ence will not represent the extreme of free trade except in some few particulars particulars particulars parti parti- although these few Cew particulars may be called important ones It seems that a compromise satisfactory to the Democrats representing lumber states has been reached and that while lumber will be be put on the tho free list there are certain forms forma of machinery machinery ma ma- chinery used by the tho lumber men which alg also will be put on tho the frea list I This will enable them to save expense I and thus to r meet ee more readily the loss IOSI which may accrue from a reduction of the tariff President Standa by Platform There have been conferences between between be be- tween the senat and the house headers leaders lead head ers and the president concerning the chief schedules in the new tariff billIt bill It Is understood th that t Mr Mi- Wilson laid down the rule and said It must be lived up to that whatever happened tariff l legislation must meet the requirements requIrements re re- re- re of the pledges of the subject subject sub sub- In the the Democratic platform adopted In Baltimore In a way it may be said that the schedules will willbe willbe willbe be about the same as thos those sent over overto overto overto to the senate by the house at last summers summer's session but now It Is believed believed be be- that instead of being amended in the senate they are likely to be passed much In the sam form as the house them There will be some compromises unquestionably unquestionably un questionably and 1 If the house recommends recommends m mends free sugar the senate presumably presumably presumably ably will not allow the lower branch to have Its way but will propose an amendment the lines lines' of tho the Bristow amendment of oC another year abolishing the so soca called so-called called ed D Dutch standard standard standard stan stan- dard and making about 50 per cent reduction in the rate The cane cano and the beet sugar industries are strong and It is probable that their protests against free trade will prevail In the matter of this gr great at commodity There will be a farmers free freo list which will vIll Include many of at f the things upon which a duty Is now paid and which largely are con consumed uI ed by the agriculturists ot oi the country The conferences es which have been held bythe by bythe the president and the leaders will result in at least a semblance of harmony harmony har bar mony upon nearly all tariff points and so It pears that unless the unforeseen unforeseen s seen en happens the bill will go through with united Democratic support To Beautify Washington The public buildings bill passed by the last congress and which was signed so reluctantly by President President Pres Pres- ident Taft Tart has in it provisions to continue the work of making the capItal capItal capital cap cap- ital a city beautiful It is said that the reason President Taft did not veto veto yeto ve ye- to th the measure w was s because It contained contained con con con- tamed appropriations for Washington which he recognized as needful The provisions for public buildings in other other oth oth- er parts of th the country where they were not needed constituted the paragraphs paragraphs paragraphs para para- graphs of the measure which made him hesitate for a long time to give the bill the fo force ce of law A A. century ago the French engineer LEnfant L'Enfant drew plans which we-re we were the guides for Washington In part as Itis it itis itis is today Washington as it willbe will willbe willbe be In the future The public buildings bill appropriations appropriations are to be used during the fiscal year beginning June 30 next There Is an appropriation for a George Washington memorial building with a seating capacity of not less than p people ople which is intended to be used for great gatherings of all kinds in which public interest Inter centers This building wl will cost and an appropriation ol of half a million for Itis It ItIs itis Is made available only when the George Washington Memorial l l association association tion hs hrs raised another

are to be erected In Inthe Inthe Inthe the Arlington cemetery Money Is appropriated In the public buildings bill to begin the work The amphitheater ater will cost nearly 10 OOOO and the chapel will

on the south side of the Mall 1 not far from the Washington Washing Washing- ton monument From the west side the river may be seen seen and this entire front rant of the building has sentinel like stone columns gu guarding Its inner approaches ap ap- ap- ap Homes for S Several veral Services It Is said that the tho United States government gov pays money enough In r rent nt to make it possible if the money were saved to put up all the buildings of ot its own that it needs and to do this In Inthe Inthe inthe the course of ten years The public buildings bill contains a provision for a structure to house the tho geological al survey the Indian office the bureau of mines and the reclamation reclamation reclamation tion service These services now h hive ve no homes of their own The new building will be placed Just west of the state war and navy building and will cost Some time ago congress authorized an appropriation to construct four great department buildings In Wash Wash-

Pr vate residences on McPherson square will have a new home and tho the departments de do- of commerce and labor also will be provided for or with fine build build- lugs lags It is probable that
