FIFTY-SIXTH YEAR RULE BY PEOPLE IS PEOPLE WIL ADVOCATED BY THE FORCE COAL gc (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Dec. 2. A diver sified program to restore a peace' time business status, revise the tax system, curb unrest, reduce the cost of living and rectify labor and farm ing conditions was recommended by President Wilson today in his mes sage to vhe new session of congress.

Many of his resolutions were the same as those submitted to the special session last spring and several of them are embraced in legislation already being formulated in the two houses. To meet the cost of living, the president asks extension of the wartime food control bill, federal regulation of cold storage, readjustment of food transportation and establish ment of a system of federal licensing" for all corporations engaged in interstate commerce. He declared the causes of unrest to be superficial and temporary and ue superuciai aim temporary aim i made his only reference to the senate' failure to ratifv the neacp treatv in failure to ratify the peace treaty in saying that restlessness was due largely to the nation's hesitation in determining its peace policy. The awuwai 6W iw uwiutu, should be armed with tull authority to deal in the criminal courts with those who promote violeiice.

In art e.Mended discussion of labqr condi he declared the workers had just cause for complaint in many mat- a reDort eun5r t-ar" ters and that there should be "full nahan commander of United States recognition of the rights of those Jf.00? at ogales Arizona, or from who work in whatever rank to Ml Pf fP'ma FTum7' con-ticipate in some organic way in every a hni of Yaqu! re: decision that directly affects their gorted by Governor de a Huerta of welfare. dividuals to strike must be held in- 1 violate but added that there must be firm ctanH "th atti-rrmt any class to usurp a power that only the government itself has a right to kerrUp a nmtprt tn ill exercise as a protection to all. Finally, he suggested the establish-. ment of a tribunal for peaceful decisions of industrial disputes. He renewed his recommendation for a budget system of national finances, asked for special protection to pro mote dyestuffs and chemical indus-, fries and declared the administration bill providing farms for soldiers should be passed without delay.

The about 500 words long, was transmitted to the capital by messenger, the president expressing regret that his health would not 1 permit his delivery of it in person. It was read separately in senate and house where it drew mixed ex-; pressions of 'approbation and disap-, pointment. The democrats generally praised it as setting forth decisively a practical program of reform while on the republican side there were many complains that it lacked defin-i iteness and omitted mention of important problems. i In Action- I Dec.

FRICK SUMMONED (By Associated Preps) NEW YORK, Dec. 2T Henry Clay Frick, pioneer iron master and one of the foremost art collectors in the United States, died suddenly at his Fifth avenue hqme today in his 70th year. For three weeks he had been suffer ing from ptomaine poisoning but his physician. Dr. Lewis Connor, assert ed that "Mr.

Frick for the past mouth had sfiown symptoms of an organic affection of the heart which presum ably was the late result of the severe attacks of inflammatory rheumatism to which he was subject in earlier life." Once the associate of Andrew Carnegie and then his implacable busi ness enemy, Frick, from a farm hand had risen to become possessor of fortune estimated at $200,000,000. It is probable that a large part of the fortune he amassed by building up the greatest coke business in the world and becoming one of the "steel kings will be left to the public. Following announcements tonight by Elbert H. Gary' directing head of the united States Steel corporation, that Mr. Frick's costly art collection with his home in this citv would be left to the public, other friends de clared he had frequently told them that his children never would be the ncnest in tne world.

Mineral arrangements provide for a private service at the Frick home Thursday morning. The body will be taken to Pittsburg for burial. Yankee Slang Has British Babbling In an Utter Daze (By Associated Pressl LONDON, Dec. 1. The defect of incomprehensibility is the main flaw found in American novels by A.

(Mainly About Books), a monthly periodical, in pointing out reasons for "the comparatively small importation" into England of the American literary efforts. After quoting extensively from a tobacco advertisement "culled from the pages of a noted American month ly magazine," in which references are made to jamming a joyous jimmy pipe chock tull and blazing away which, it is promised, will put the quiz into your thinktank as to how much pipe or cigarette-rolling fun you've gone shy on," the English magazine says: "Effective as the above doubtless is for the purpose of trans-Atlantic advertising, it is possible that vernacular largely corresponding to this, distributed over some hundreds of pages in works of American fiction accounts for the comparatively small importation of American novels. Often, we do not doubt, they are intrinsically admirable. Only, for us, they have the defect of incomprehensibility." Such is Life In Wild Wooly Erin (By Associated Press) DUBLIN, Dec. 1.

TEN THOOS GALLONS BOOZE AT GLOBE (By Associated Press) GLOBE, Dec. 2. The recent raid which operators of the federal de partment of justice in this district against alleged violators of the war time prohibition statute, netted the fficers nearly ten thousand gallons of home-made liquor, the beverage, according to current bootleg prices, being worth something like $100,000. The raid was considered one of the biggest "scoops" ever made by the department of justice in any part of the United States, more than 115 federal warrants being served against the al leged law breakers, and 57 search and seizure" warrants being used.

J. Mooney, convicted Preparedness Day bomb murderer, were set for trial on December 8 by Superior Judge Lewis Ward here today. And Letter (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. With much impatience the state department today awaited word from Mexico City of the release of Consular Agent Jenkins in response to this governments second sharp note to Carranza.

State department officials expected prompt action by the Carranza administration in acceding to the l're-quest" of the United States. A new side-light on the general Mexican kidnapping situation was given today in a report of the capture of Norman Rowe, a British subject, by rebels in Zacatecas, who held him for" ransom, but who quickly released him at the instance of the Carranza administration without payment of ransom. The British vice-consul at Zacatecas notified the Mexican authorities and reported the kidnapping to the British consulate general at Mexico City. Representations were quickly made to the Mexican government and within a few hours the machinery including the military was seeking rescue of Rowe. Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury under Carranza, known to be bitterly anti-American, has taken an active part in the government's prosecution of the case against Jenkins, according to advices received today.

In a statement prepared for the press of Mexico City Cabrera said that Jenkins might be liberated on bond but that the American govern ment now prefers to set him free by means of threats." LONG SHOT Harry G. Hontz, former patient at Whipple Barracks, is not dead, despite the presence of a large crop of newspaper stories, supplemented by one official report, relating that on at least two separate occasions he departed to that bourn from which no traveler returneth. Hontz, a printer, was seized in 1918 with an overwhelming desire to enlist in the army. So strong was the urge that he responded without taking time to notify his friends of his intention to go to Cheyenne and join the army or to make provisions for the care of his pet dog. In his haste to board the train, Hontz lost his hat.

His dog, unable to follow him into the train, pursued the hat which was blown "into a stream. The appearance of the bedraggled animal with the hat in its mouth, coupled with the unexplained disappearance of the owner of the dog and hat, was accepted as evidence of the fact that Hontz had been drowned, and the river was dragged in aii effort to locate the body. Eventually Hontz' obitiary notice was published. Meanwhile Hontz had enlisted at Cheyenne and in due time reached France. When he was in Brest, the news that he had been drowned caught up with him, but before he could communicate with his friends in America, he was rushed off to the battle front.

In the Argonne forest he received, a machine gun bullet through his lungs and lay for two days before he was found by the stretcher-bearers. In the war department's casualty list he was listed as "killed, in action," a fact of which he became aware weeks later while in the hospital. The casualty repoTt eventually reached his aged mother in Pennsylvania who had not heard the earlier report that he had been drowned in Laramie and it is said her grief was" so profound that she died a short time later. Hontz' lungs were so affected bv the bullet that he passed from one recuperation hospital to another, and was finally sent to the Fort Whipple army hospital at Prescott, Arizona, where he recovered sufficient to allow him to secure his discharge. H'e then went back to Laramie, Wyoming.
