iGQKGRESS TO GET ! KEW SEDITION LAW 1 SOON AFTER RECESS ; "' WASHINGTON, Dec. se.Antteedi ;tton legislation will be brought before .Congress s boos as the holiday recess ;ls ended. ... t It promisee to proroke a sharp con -.test on the Question ot how tar the government should go toward reviving r war-time censorship ot speech and the e press. . Senator Thomas Sterling of South Dakota, author of a bill which now Is on the Senate calendar, announced today that Immediately upon the reconvening ot congress he would make an effort to gain consideration for his 'measure. ) '-. Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, ; stated that he Intended to offer amendrments to the measure with a view to making it less drastic. v He is opposed particularly to the provision in the bill which clothes the Postmaster-General with wide dlscre- ; tionary powers in the matter of reguElating the press . tf. - Bays Bill Gees To Far. t - In this respect the senator says that ""the bill goes too far and would give ito the Postmaster-General powers equal to those he exercised only durlng the war." i - The Sterling bill makes It unlawful for any person to "advocate or advise jthe overthrow, or to write or knowingly to print, - publish, utter, sell or distribute any document, book, circular. paper, journal or other written or i printed communication in which or by Jwhich there Is advised the overthrow, by force or violence or by physical inJJury to persons or property, of the "Government of the -United States, or ;to advise or advocate a change in the 'form of Government or the constitution of the United States, or reslst;ance to the authority thereof by force "or violence or by physical injury to J person or property, or by force or - violence to prevent, hinder or delay ; the execution of any law of the United .flutes. --". Senator Sterling holds . that this 'reaches only to the person who resorts to force or violence in doing any of 'the things mentioned In the bill. r: Divenoent Views Noted, tl other senators have construed the Slanguage of the bill more broadly, "however, and contend that It might apply to any person who advocated -the turning out of one political admintlstration in national affairs and the substitution of a rival political organlzatlon. They also have expressed doubts asiK to how far the provision against advo-; Seating a change in the constitution of the United States might be held to apply. Senator Borah's oblections are directed principally to Section 3 of the bill, which provides: "That every document, book, circular, paper, Journal ,r other written or printed communication in or by which there is advocated or advised the overthrow of the .Government of the United States here by is declared to be nonmailable and ,,ma shall rnt ho rrmveved In tho ! 4?.,BaeA,? lizS T.

He ceciarea todav lhat it exceeded th authority j "which was given to the Po"tter-; General in tirn of war, and that there are not pufficient guarantees in the :bil! that tfcf powers will hot be exer"cised unjustly. "Better Ipffaence of Y Is Urfed for Boys of Continuation Classes I Declaring that by the formation of a club by the members of the continuation classes of high school, the boys ?would be brought Into contact with a class of men whom are very often far "removed from the average man of trade, Mr. Miller, ot the high school .faculty, addressed the Christmas "party given by the Y. M. C. A. for the -continuation classes of the high school Wednesday evning. He told the boys that they would learn to be gentlemen in every sense of the word and that they would become acquainted with the methods used In directing Industries which every factory man will "need to know in. the near future, because of the inevitable time when labor will be called upon to assist in the settlement of labor questions, i Following Mr. Miller. Frank Crowe 'and Clifton M. Beatty made short talks upon benefits that are derived from being affiliated with the Y. M. C, A. Crowe explained the way the gymnasium classes, Bible classes and Mother activities of the "Y" are carried -on, and their influence on a boys 3ife. t Beatty told of the purpose of the Y. M. C. A., how It tends to develop the religious, physical, intellectual and .social sides of the boy into a well j-ounded, capable man. He further -added that the Y. M. C. A.

The Christmas day celebration of the League for Amnesty for Political Prisoners met with disaster today when the police, soldiers, and irate citizens broke it up. Several hundred men ana women. nlackrded and "single-filed" for the j start of their "walk" up Fifth avenue, dwindled to about fifty persons, divided into two wandering bodies which found their ways "home" to the parish house of the Church of the Ascension, in West Eleventh street, after many hours of wandering. Placards carried by the "walkers" were destroyed wholesale by the ; poiice and volunteer assistants. A j number of arrests were made for dis- ; obedience of police orders, and con stant Interruptions by police and civilians resulted in- disrupting the "procession" beyond all recognition within a quarter of a mile of its start. Tests Powder at Fireplace One is Dead; Three Dying WASHINGTON, Pa., Dec. 26. Herbert Waters, 43 years ol Morrlsville, coal miner, tested the quality of powder by tossing a handful into an open fire in his home yesterday. Waters and Mrs. Mary. Waters, 40 years old, his wife. were dying In Waynesburg hospital last night. Their eight-year old daughter, Belma, is dead, and their fourteen-year-old son, Thomas, is suffering from severe injuries. Waters had a keg of powder in his home to be used in mine blasting. The explosive had become lumpy, and the miner was in doubt b to its quality. Examining a handful as he sat in front of the fire he tossed a quantity into the blaze. The resultant explosion Ignited the keg of powder, blowing out one entire side ot the two-story brick house and hurling the occupants into the yard.

EL PASO, Texas. Dec. 2. Hun U ot -Americana who, planned to visit Juarez, Mexico, on Christmas, where liquors of all kinds can be bought, were turned back at the in ternatlonal bridge between the two cities. No temporary one-day passports were issued and the only persons allowed to cross the Rio Grande were those holding permanent passports giving permission to enter Mexico on Sundays and holidays. Whisky and teauila .a Mexican drink, could be had at prices varying from $5 to $15 a auart here todav ! from "hootleggers if thA npkr wan Known to be "all right." Prices on the contraband liquor had risen sharply In price the last few davs because I of four deaths due to shooting affrays I concreted with whisky smuggling. ; Mexican fiscal guards captured a quantity of liquor that was being started across the International boundary for Christmas sale. They said at prevailing prices the liquor would have brought $20,000 on the American side. Itis expected to be sold by the Mexican Customs Service for $2,000 Juarez saloon-keepers and cafe proletors had prepared for a banner ! nrietors had prepared Christmas day. So, too, had the gambling casino, but their hopes were dashed when the American authorities refused to keep the port open today and issue temporary passports. Y. M. C. A.

This little talk about storm sash and doors is going to be as full of significance to the provident man as an egg is of meat, for there is more comfort and economy bound up in them than in any other convenience about the house. Coal is coal these days. It is expensive and, unless there be immediate change in the outlook at the source of production, it is to be very scarce. Hence there are two very important reasons for conserving heat. First you save money in fuel. Secondly in all probability you avoid actual discomfort and prejudice to health. And the expense is negligible. You might not believe it, but you can thus protect one opening perfectly but in a modest way for right around $40.00. You're bound to save at least one-third of this amount the first winter in fuel alone and at the same time have the comfort gratis. It is said that every time the front door opens on a real cold day you waste a pound of coal. With children in the house, this runs into money rapidly. Storm doors and sash are portable. You build them once for a lifetime. Dollar for dollar theyrepresent the very best return on the investment of anything about your entire house. Winter is here. It's time to act. Go to bed tonight with this idea in mind. Talk to the Missus about it. She's home all the time and she will know. Call us up next day. Give us some idea of the arrangement of your front porch and well be able to give yon a fairly accurate estimate of the cost of a storm door and we will arrange to take care of you promptly in this particular.
