Conference With President.

Didn't you say you had the authority
of the President Of the United States2''
asked Mr. Worthington.
Il said I had talked with the PresI-
dent about IT, and that the President
had said he thought 1t would be best
for Beavers 10 enter a plea. He told
Beavers that If he did plead he would
be treated with leniency and would es-
cape with a term of two years in the
penitentiary."
Mr. Wynne said Beavers had offered
to plead guilty IN one Of the cases
with which Green was not connected,
and the witness had told him he did
not believe such a plea would be con-
sidered or accepted by the Government.
The defense was delighted evidently.
with this statement. The evident puT-
pose OF the defense is 10 attack the
Beavers plea. on the ground that It was
made with the hope OF favorable con-
sideratiOn and lenient treatment.
Tle district attorney brought out the
fact that he had given Mr. Wynne no
authority - premise Beavers any
leniencv whatever.
Mr.. Wynne said ne had endeavOred to
secure for Beavers all the consideration
possible. and since Beavers was SEN
fenced to MoundsvilIe had written q let
ter TO the warden OF the penitentiary,
requesting the prisoner be given needed
medical attention.

WAS BIG SENSATION.
How Editor Robinson's Conversion
Was Received at Waco.

Waco, Texas, Oct. 22-waco is to.
night talking of the reigning political
sensation, the conversion OF Editor
George c. Robinson of the Waco
Times-Herald, which occurred at Mart
today, and the friends of Senator
Bailey are overjoyous at the result of
the meeting. As many as hundred
people went from here, and in the
audience were people from Falls and
Limestone and McLennan counties.
AS many as half were people from
the country. On the train coming to
Waco Senator Bailey had a long chat
with Mr.. Robinson, and it is believed
this is the end of long political
feud. Mr.. Robinson has been critic
Of Mr.. Bailey for long time, and the
warfare has been incessant.
1t was this morning settled there
would be no meeting of the county
committee called to act on the Bailey
matter. A. r. McCollum is acting
county chairman. and even before he
heard the speech he decided he would
not call the meeting. There are forty
nine members of the committee, with
three vacancies. Mr.. McCollum sent
letter to each asking him to vote.
He had decided not to call the meet
ing unless a majority of the whole
committee wanted It, and as major
ity did not vote for It, he decided that
il should not be called. However, had
il been called he would have ruled the
committee had nothing more to do
with the senatorship than to tell
man how to gather his cotton.
Many of Mr. Bailey's friends want
him to speak here, while others say
there is no longer any opposition and
a speech here is not needed. Some of
his warmest friends here think he can
turn his attention now to Democratic
speeches and let the personal attack
die. as they believe It no longer has
support.
Cullen F. Thomas did not attend the
speaking at Mart

Wickes was formerly an official of the
