ee _ SENATORS DERIDE INAUGURATION AND TTS CEREMONIALS ‘nttliicaia 4 “Should Be Abolished,” Says Works—Rapacity of Hotels Denounced by Thomas. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The Sen- ate voted favorably to-day on the $26,000 appropriation to pay for the inauguration expenses at the Capitol, but not until there had been some y ively talk about how Washington hotel Keepers “rob” visitors and some observations that the inaugural cere- monies have come to resemble a cor- onation pageant. ‘When Senator Overman brought the resoultion from the Appropriations Committee, Senator McCumber, Re- publican, suggested that it should in- clude provisions to prevent hotel keepers from raising their rates. seid he had been informed by one hotel that a room for inauguration week would cost $200. resolution,” said Senator Works, Re- President inaugurated with appropri- ate ceremonies, suitable in a Democ- racy, We are having a coronation every four years and it is undemo- cratic and un-American and I would Ike to see !t abolished. “There is no reason that such a ceremony as this should be conduct- @ and every reason that it should not, I should like to see the.President himself declare against that sort of thing and protest against his tn sural being made a show of this k “There is no occasion for the Gov- ernment of the United States to spend $25,000 to provide a place for the in- augural. I should like to see the Sen- lates every principle of our Govern- ment.” Benator Thomas, Democrat, ex- Pressed himself in accord with Sen- ators McCumber and Works, and declared: “Old Spanish buccaneers who sailed the Spanish main, flying the black flag of piracy and taking their lives ia their hands to rob merchant ships, must turn over in their graves when ern hotel proprietors on occasions of this kind, and the immunity from punishment they enjoy in prosecuting their business of plunder.” Genator Borah, Republican, ob- served that people who come to in- rations do so with eyes open Pockets full for a good time. @enator Sherman, Republican, said he hoped that “this matter will be wide publicity so that certain My constituents who may come ‘here won't have to borrow money from me to get home.” pth, ee thas't: “all CHARITY BALL BY K.

Duplicate stocks of equal magnitude are in our Philadelphia Store Total ‘To be sold during February for This is one of the two great furniture sales of the year. February and August have become the great home- furnishing months. People buy furniture in other months, as they re- quire it, but in February and August they buy it— even in advance of their immediate needs—because it is offered at the lowest prices of the year Greatest of All Sales It is not disputed that the Wanamaker Stores in New York and Philadelphia distribute more furniture than any other retail institution in the United States. It is not disputed that Wanamaker furniture so largely dis- tributed is of the highest type, in carefully selected and sea- soned woods, in skilled and uncheapened cabinet-making, and in designs which are always classical and theref: ve in taste. It is not disputed that the Wanamaker Stores own and pre- sent at all times the largest retail stocks of furniture. It is not disputed that the Wanamaker sales of furniture have grown to be the largest of their kind in all the world. The only point open to any possible question is a personal one for each individual: Will you, if you please, find here just the furniture you want at the price you wish to pay? A Visit Will Answer This Only a personal inspection of the furniture itself will answer this question. Now and again we meet ople who are surprised to learn that we have so extensive a business in furniture. They are amazed when we show them the huge stocks. ‘I wish I had known this before; we have been buying our furniture at the wrong place,” they sa: Again people tell us: “Oh, I thought sale furniture was made for Mai and cheapened in. the making.” “Much of it is,” we answer. But not Wanamaker furniture. There are Martha Washington sewing tables and gate-leg tables and other pieces of furniture made to meet Wanamaker prices and so cheapened in the making that they disgrace their names and their aint But such furniture is never found here, We invite the critical inspection of the public of a// parts of our Jurniturc—inside and outside, parts usually unseen—insid le of drawers, backs of chairs and sideboards, underneath of tables. Put everything to the closest scrutiny and it will stand the test A Word About the Future It is not a yellow journal scare to say that furniture is going to cost more. It ') costing more this minute—wholesale, Race facturers are raising their prices all along the line. Within six months there have been several decided increases. More are expected, because everything that goes into the making of furniture, material and labor is costing more. Fortunately the great part of our regular stock is owned at low prices which have nol here advanced, And the new pure! were made at large discounts for specific trade reasons. From these old low prices the February reductions are made.
