WASHINGTON", Dec. 3. Kepresen

today flatly opposed a resolution - to f
install Vice-President Marshall in the
White House while President Wilson
is abroad. He also declared himself
wholly out of sympathy with the at- I
tempt to embarrass the president while j
on the peace mission. He promised
there would be no concerted republi- j
can attempt in the house to question
the constitutionality of the president's

KERENSKY POWER
The Charles Co. cigar store, and
pool hall on Main street was entered
by burglars last night and between $35
and $40-in small change taken. About
$20 was in dimes, nick lea and pennies
in the bottle for the Belgian relief
fund, the reat being the change left
In the cash register.
The stofe closed at the usual time
of 1 1 p. iu. and the work of the burg
lar was discovered by the ' janitor
about 4 a. m. when he opened the store
to clean up the room and found the
rear door open. The front door whs
locked- There is no evidence of the
back door being forced to make an
traneu and how the party doing the
crime got in Is hard to explain, un- j
lews he had a -key to the front door or;
htd In the building: when the: place'
wan closed for the night. Nothing hasj
been misled from the stock In the j
store. j
In the senate, however, there is a
disposition among some republicans
to start interesting proceeding; Knox
of Pennsylvania, introduced a resolu
tion declaring extraordinary war pow
ers vesfed In the president be removed
as soon as possible. It also states
that the United States act in comDfete
unity with the allies in formulating
the peace terms, and that soldiers in
Europe be returned to America as
quickly as is possible and consistent
with safety.
The resolution also would define
peace aims, deferring until later the
formation of a league of nations and
the definition of freedom of the seas.
Sherman of Illinois declared Wilson's
departure, under the constitution, ren
dered his office vacant, leaving con
gress powerless to enact legislation
He said: 'The president of the United
States Is not" president of France.
There he Is but an alien. He ha not
any power to transfer, of his own vo
lition, the seat of government to some
province which is alien-"
