Chamberlain Gives
Sen. Underwood His
. Choice Senate Seat
Washington, Feb. 12. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Senator Underwood of Alabama, Demo
cratic leader in the senate; is indebted
to Senator Chamberlain for the unusually
- good, seat he now occupies, directly in
- front of the vice president, in the first
row and next the center aisle. -
This waa Senator Chamberlain's seat
all through the war and since, where he
; made his speeches on preparedness and
led the battle for the army bills and the
food control bill. While Underwood has
had a long career in congress, he is com
paratively a newcomer in the senate,
and until he moved to the Chamberlain
. seat "he sat far back on the Democratic
aide. .
Because of long absence caused by his
tUness and hie realisation that by re
linquishing his place for the balance of
the session he oould put the Democratic
leader up front. Chamberlain asked for
and obtained a transfer of his seat to
Underwood. ? .

promised his countrymen by Warren O.

Colombia would like. Is improbable be
cause this might be considered a re
flection upon the action of the Roosevelt
administration when the revolution in
Panama took place.
The Philippines
The question of Philippine Independ
ence is not precisely a foreign matter,
but It has intimate bearing upon foreign
relations and deals with the creation
of a new state among the nations. In
dependence has : been recommended by
President Wilson and Governor General
Harrison and by the Filipino leaders. It
was opposed only a few years ago by
Mr. Harding as a senator, and by moat
other Republican, leaders.
Mexico is calmer than It has been sisce
1910, when the Madero revolution be
gan. The country was seething and a
large American force was at the border
when" Wilson came into office in 1913.
The Obregon government has not been
formally recogni2ed, however, and this
is evidently because a full agreement
has not yet been reached. .
The policy to be pursued toward soviet
Russia must be determined. Non-recognition
has been the : policy of Wilson,
coupled with a declaration that Russia
shall be left free to determine her own
future, and that recognition shall also
be- withheld from the border states of
old Russia, so that no sanction be given
for dismemberment while Rissia is he
deviled by the Bolshevilc uncertainty.
Then there is a whole sheaf of subjects
for diplomatic discussion with Great
Britain, and it is considered not at all
remarkable that Sir Auckland Oeddes.
the British ambassador, hurried home to
consult Lloyd George and the home of
fice. He is no doubt priming up with
confidential Instructions as to what he
shall say-and how he shall manage in
early discussions with the new president
and new secretary of state. Some of the
questions are these:
Answer that shall be made when the
subject of a new association of nations
is broached, and also the question of
naval disarmament, .either separately
from the new association, or with it.

The handling of , the Irish question
again is assured at least temporary
prominence when the new administration
has definitely shown its hand. The pos
sibility of change in the American of
ficial attitude is a cause of constant
worry to Britain's statesmen.
Mr. Harding has indicated that he ex
pects to revive the Panama canal tolls
controversy. Any effort to exempt
American shipping from payment of
tolls. It is apprehended, will bring British
protest as an attempted violation of
treaty rights. ;
The British government has not yet
answered the vigorous note of Secre
tary Colby concerning equality of oil
rights in the development of Mesopo
tamia i and other mandated countries.
This note was sent with the approval of
Republican senate leaders, which assures
continuity of policy when the new ad
ministration comes In. -
The cable dispute, which also involves
Franc, Italy and Japan, but principally
Great Britain and Franca, is at a deli
cate point, with the British trying to
hold the advantage they have from the
interrupted service to ; Emden from
American shores, and the United States
contending for restoration of the pre
war conditions.
Other matters for Ambassador Geddes
are the proposed renewal of the Anglo
Japanese pact on a basis that will satisfy
American opinion, the funding of the
war debt Into come form of interest
bearing obligations and the possibility of
retaliatory tariff by Canada. It is ap
parent that Mr. Harding will need and
will desire a diplomat of first rank to
represent America in .Downing street
while these questions are under discussion.
Senator Willis
Storm Center
WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE
JOURNAL) Senator Frank B. Willis of
Ohio, successor of Warren G. Harding,
and the "baby of the Sonata, was the
center of an interesting conflict between
Senators Henry Cabot Lodge and Boies
Penrose just after the proposed cloture
rule for the tariff had been defeated in
the senate. . -
When the effort to close debate had
been lost. Senator Townsend of Michi
gan moved to go ahead with the post
office appropriation bill, on the theory
that the supply bills ought not to be
delayed by a tariff bill which has only
a remote Thance of becoming a law.
Penrose, chairman of the finance com
mittee, desired to keep grinding on the
tariff, believing that the gabfest of Its
opponents can be exhausted if the tariff
is kept constantly before the senate.
Lodge, the Republican leader, took the
other view that the majority duty is to
speed the appropriation bills.
Penrose sat In the front row of seats
on the Republican side, and 'Willis be
side him. As the roll call started. Lodge
came over and began an argument with
Willis, evidehtly intended to carry him
Into line for the Townsend motion. Pen
rose turned in his seat, and the trio
waved their arms in vigorous fashion,
though what was said could not be
heard. It was Penrose versus Lodge as
to who would . get the Willis vote. So
earnest was the verbal combat that
when Willis name was finally reached
at the end of the roll call he failed to
hear it, and had to obtain recognition
afterward to record his vote. It was
then disclosed that be stood with Pen
rose. Penrose- held the winning cards, the
senate voting to keep the tariff bill be
fore the senate. Immediately after that
Penrose took the floor, to say that he
was not worrying about the appropri
ation bills. They can be passed just aa
well, he said, at the coming extra ses
sion of congress, and In plenty of time,
since the next fiscal year doea not
begin until July 1. The tariff bill comes
before everything else, he asserted.
Senate Is Slow
While Penrose- may not worry about
the supply bills, many other Repub
lican senators are not la such an easy
state of mind, and they are hoping for
the good of the party that the fog sur
rounding the tariff bill will clear away.
They will start the breezes themselves
within a short time unless it appears
that the tariff measure can be brought
to a vote within a reasonable time.
It Is recalled that when Mr. Harding
was in .Washington he particularly
asked the Republican leaders in con
gress to give him a clear slate for the
extra session. He urged them to go
ahead and clean up for a new start, and
this advice was understood ' to mean
that he desired ail the appropriation
bills out of the way, along with such
legislative measures as were advanced
and could be disposed of in the Ume
remaining.
In the present state of affairs Hard
ing may be appealed to In the hope that
he can bring about an understanding
and speed up the lagging wheels In the
senate. There Is a sharp division of
Republican sentiment about what should
be done, with Lodge and Penrose on
opposite sides, and Penrose temporarily
in the ascendant. Lodge was appar
ently trying aa party leader to carry
out the wishes of Harding, and this, on
the eve of the new administration, is a
species of friction that cannot be de
veloped many times without danger to
the machinery. '
Your Fall Suit
May Cost Less
WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.- (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE
JOURNAL) The man's suit that sold
for $15 before the war, for $60 during
the war, and $35 to $40 now. Is due to
sell for $30 next fall. This is the ex
pectation of William Goldman, repre
sentative of the euitmaking industry, as
told to the house ways and means com
mittee in hearings on the wool schedule
of the tariff bill.
The raw wool in the suit Is a small
part of the cost, Mr.- Goldman said, not
much over $2. The rest of it comes
from the accumulation of labor cost,
overhead and profit in each process of
manufacture, be explained, and a small
addition to the first cost reaches a con
siderable figure by the time the spinner,
the weaver, the manufacturer, the Jobber
and the retailer has each taken his toll
on the selling price.
Goldman waa questioned aa to why
the cost of a one-time $15 suit Is still
so high, when the price of wool is ' so
low. He said it was because the price
of labor has not yet been reduced. But
he expects that labor will be reduced In
time to be reflected in the fall ready
mades. 'He denied that unusual profits
have been secured. .
Goldman wanted free wool because of
the lower cost to the buyer of clothes,
he said, and Chairman Fordney called
him a free trader. An amusing colloquy
resulted, in which Goldman said he had
supported McKinley, but has "seen the
error of his ways," : and is now against
an "extravagant tariff. He voted for
Harding this time, he said, relying upon
the Republican platform, and he has
been astounded by tbe proposed 44 cent
duty on wool, which he called "pre
posterous." Eight of tbe olive trees in the his
toric Garden of Olives at Jerusalem are
more than 1000 years old.

she is called - upon to solve in her
efforts to teach the terpsicborean art

WOMEN SEE IJOHT
j "Seriously, I -would say that the ap
preciation of physical, education is more
general and more intense now than it
has ever been. Women are realizing as
never before that in order to retain their
youthful figures, their grace and even
their health. It Is necessary to have
some physical education. - The strenuous
and somewhat mechanical phases of
'straight away gymnasium work are
distasteful to many women and to them
the esthetic dancing classes offer just
the needed thing ; their popularity is
evidenced by the fact that more than
250 have been registered In these classes
since October. Many are continuing
through the second term and all are en
thusiastic boosters for the work ; in fact,
our newly organized classes are largely
recruited from people who have been
told of our work by 'satisfied customers.'
Two of my most interesting and gifted
pupils are Chines girls, , who are enthu
siastic over the work and are bard
workers."
Miss Wey conducts' two classes for
babies from 4 years and op Saturday
morning, one for beginners and one for
intermediates. She also conducts begin
ner, intermediate and advanced classes
for young girls and for women, which
meet both afternoons and evenings, thus
making it possible for the business

dented spectacle of the retiring president
moving from the White House to his own
home In Washington's exclusive residence
section and the incoming president mov
ing from- his ' Washington residence In
Wyoming avenue to the big mansion on
Pennsylvania avenue.
- Mayme Ober Peak offers some timely
observations on President Wilson's new
home at 2340 South S street. In an article
that Is of special interest in Portland,
since this home was purchased by the
president from Henry P. Fairbanks.
Mra Fairbanks being a former Portland
woman, daughter of the. late Mr. and
Mra CH. Lewis.
: "House hunting at best is, not an easy
job,, writes Miss Ober, "but imagine
how much harder it would be If, after
living in the White House for eight
years, you started out to find another
house that would suit you as well. With
Uncle Sam as landlord and the United
States treasury to, draw on lh the mat
ter of repairs, the White House from a
barnlike structure in the midst of a
swamp a century ago, has developed
Into a luxurious home for the president,
and is just about the last word in mod
ern comfort and convenience. -WILSON'S
GO HOU8B HtTNTIJfO
"Last July the president and Mrs. Wilson-sought
to solve the problem of where
to live when they left the White House
and began Quietly looking for a suitable
home. Both are known to be simple in
their- tastes, and under ordinary circum
stances Mrs. Wilson's modest little home
on Twentieth street. In Washington,
where the president went a-courting five
years ago, would have been plenty good
enough to live in. But the circumstances
were not ordinary, for even after his
retirement from public life, a former
president is a national figure- and must
surround himself with an atmosphere of
dignity.
"Furthermore, Mr. Wilson's physical
condition, to show continued Improve
ment, required the comforts and conven
iences to which he had become accus
tomed, such as elevators, lunroomi and
sleeping porches, as well as grounds for
daily airings. The president particularly
stipulated that he must have a sunny,
bright library, large enough to held his
thousands of volumes of books, and on
the same floor with the living room and
dining room. Since very few houses have
these rooms on one floor and fewer still '
a library large enough to hold from 8000
to 10,000 books, it waa by no means easy
to find the kind of bouse the president
wanted. v
GARDEN HAS APPEAL
"In the Henry P, Fairbanks home at
2340 S' street, the Wilsons found what
they wanted.
"What attracted the president before
he ever went to Inspect the house was
the beautiful terraced garden which, -with
Its box hedges, flagBtone walks and
fine old brick wall extended in the rear .
a full block to Decatur street. Just otf
Sheridan circle- ,
"Mrs. Wilson was particularly enthu
siastic about the kitchen, remarking that
It was even better equipped and- more
desirable than the one at the White
House. . ' .
"What took Mr, Wilson's eye a the
oval sun room on the second floor, over
looking the garden ' and affording a
commanding view of the city and the
river. The large library, tho reception
room and the dining room on this name
floor were lust aa he had planned they
rshould be, and the sleeping porch di
rectly over the sun room, was an added
comfort and convenience.
"The location Is especially desirable.
-In town and yet In the countryfar
enough out to be away from the bustle
of traffic and streetcars, but near enough
to the downtown section to reach it
within 15 minutes. Fronting on S street,
with a 20-foot lawn, the building runs
back a block to Decatur and Massachu
setts avenue, which tho garden, at high
elevation, overlooks.
"On one side lives Adolph Miller of
the federal reserve board and on the
other John Hewitt Myers. Diagonally
across, on the corner of Twenty-third
and S. is Oeneral Aleshire's Iioum.

Van Santfoord Merle-Smith lives now,
and an adjoining corner is the site for
the French embassy. Directly opposite,
