SAYS JOAN OF ARC
WAS NOT BURNED

PARIS, Dec. 4-The generally accept
Cd story of Joan OF Arc is impeached
oy dArcis Wrigglesworth. an English
arust who declares that he can prove
the Maid Of Orleans was not burned at
the stake at Rouen, but that the
duchess Of Worcester" suffered In her
stead.
Mr.. Wrigglesworth Claims to be a
descendant of the sieur d'Arcis, mayor
or Rouen during the English occupa-
ton early in the fifteenth century-the
period Of Joans meteoric career. Wrig-
glesworth further declares that treasure
belonging to his family is buried under
the ancient Joan of Arc" tower in
Rouen-a fact which he claims he has
just discovered in some old family pa
pers. He is now seeking permission
from the French government authorities
to dig for the treasure.
The remarkable statement that John
was not executed by the English as de-
scribed In history seems analogous With
that other theory that the Dauphin (a-
Louis xyID did not die in prison, but
escaped and was replaced by a deaf
mute.
The story OF Joan's trial and execu-
ton is so complete and well authenti-
Gated that its disproof Will demand a
weight Of testimony which IS very un-
likely to be unearthed after nearly five
centuries.
The story Of the Duchess Of Wor-
cester' being substituted for the maid
IS somewhat upset by the fact that no
Duchess Of Worcester is known 10 have
existed at that period.

INDORSE STILLINGS
PLAN Of FRIENDS
IN PRINTERS UNION
Resolutions Will Be In
PRODUCED at Meeting of
Columbia Union.

An organized effort viii be made this
afternoon at the regular meeting Of
Columbia Typographical Union to force
through resolutions indorsing Public
Printer Charles A. Stulings.
The movement mas strong backing
among the employees In the big shop
who are members Of Columbia Union.
1t is said to be engineered by
some of the strongest members Of
the organization. 1t is said that
this plan has been under consideration
for some time. but has been guarded
with the greatest secrecy.
The promoters of the Endorsement idea
will. it is believed. quietly marshal their
forces, and have every pledged vote In
the hall when the resolutions are intro
duced. Several Of the leaders who are
good speakers viii defend the resolU-
tons.
The proposition Is certain to meet
lively opposition, but the friends Of the
resolutions believe that they have
enough votes at their command TO win
by a good majority.
In the event that the weather is bad
the attendance may be small, but
weather conditions will in no way AFFECT
the attendance OF the friends of the
resClutiols-every man will be there TO
support them.
Columbia Union, largely made UP of
printers employed in the Government
Printing Office, has been an opponent
of Mr.. Stilling5 and his policies in the
conduct of the big Government plant
ever since he antagonized organized
labor there by the adoption of reforms
and economic measures that threw
many out Of employment Other labor
organizations whose members are en-
gagged IN the Government Printing Office
have charged that Mr.. Stillings is OPP
posed to organized labor, and has
adopted a carefully studied policy to
break them up. The boOkbinders, press
men, and others have maintained this
position, and the Central Labor Unior
and the Trades Unionist, its official or
gan, hold to that opinion.
During the last few months Public
Printer Stillings has promoted to lucra-
live positions a number of the members
OF the old men who had not worked n
the Office for some time, and has put
on many new union printers to take
care Of the work Of Congress
L. IS said that the movement to have
Columbia indorse Mr.. SJillings policies
IS being engineered by the men who
old employees " mo have been reinStated
The pIIrpose of the Endorsement is tC
diecredit the movement Of organized la.
kor to have Congress investigate Mr.
Stilllngs' administration.
