Wilson Consults ' Senate Leaders About Pet Bills Washington, Jan. 25.

The improbability of get ting through his railway labor pro gram as originally proposed was pointed out to the president as well as a poor prospect of water power legislation. Tonight senate democrats will con sider all these subjects in caucus. i Stock Brokers Are Sending Reports to "Leak" Committee New York, Jan. 25.
