WILSON PRAISES WORK.
INDOHSE DECISION AS TO RAW
WOOL SCHEDULE.
I'm Route to Trenton, Former Prince
ton President Stops In Washington
For Conference.

Washington, June AFTER a day
Of political conferences Gov. Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey left Wash
ington tonight to resume his CUB
ernator,al duties at Trenton. follow
ing tour of the West and South. His
visitors were from all sections of the
country, including senator's, represen-
tatives and private citizens. Senators
MARITIME Of New Jersey and Gore Of
Oklahoma were among the first call
ers on the prospective presidential
candidate.
All the conferences were open. To
the members of the house particu-
larly Gov Wilson expressed repeated
congratulations. He said the vigor
with which the house had taken hold
Of it's work had inspired the country
with renewed confidence in the Demo-
cratic party. The action Of the eau
Gus of Democratic representatives in
voting for a reduction of the tariff on
wool only to 20 per cent ad valorem
received his hearty commentator,
despite the fact that William J..
Bryan had warned the Democrats
against any other course than TAX
ing all the duty off.
What the governor had to say in
regard to the Democratic caucus was
summarized into these words:
THE resolution passed by the cau-
Gus is a frank statement and JUS
titles itself by showing that the
Democratic party is trying to do the
best that is possible and practicable
in the circumstances. mean that
when we are revising a system, such
as the tariff as a whole, we can make
compensatiOns of revenue along the
whole line. But in revising it sched-
ule by schedule we can not make
these compensations, excepting the
individual schedules. That is one Of
the penalties, of the step-by-step pro-
cess
1T does not seem to me that there
is any abandonment of principle in
the action taken. 1t looks to me as
though the Democratic principles had
been reasserted. OF course. / am in
free raw wool, but every Dem ocratic
platform has declared for gradual
reduction"
He reiterated his belief in the pro-
greSsive movement as inaugurated in
the West The reforms adopted there,
he declared, had proved very salts
factory Along this line he spoke Of
the progressive Republicans.
Il do not see any difference be-
tween the Democrats and what we
call progressive Republicans" he said.
except possibly the tariff"
He reiterated his approval of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement.
"Will it help the Republicans or
the Democrats in 1922" he was
asked
(which party it will help is entirely
matter Of Indifference" was the re-
sponse. "The party that thinks Of
itself and not Of the country is 60
ing down in defeat"

authority to deprive them Of the
vouchers they took for paying out
the funds in their hands, and further
that you had no power to demand Of
DR.. Murray that he turn over such
vouchers to you, nor ID adjIdge him
I'm contempt for refusing so to do.
My views upon these points have
been sustained by the supreme court

its decision. 1 did not, therefore, feel
justified in urging the court TO sus-

NAVY WON'T TAKE BANDITS.
High-Born Boys, Who Committed
Robberies, Refused.

One of the most remarkable scenes
ever witnessed in the county court in
Washington, Pa, came this week
when James R. Dudley, Eugene
Wheeler and Joseph Carter, all un-
der 21 years of age, and all mem
bers of prominent families, went be-
fore Judge J. A. McIlwaine and en-
tered formal pleas of guilty to long
list of burglaries which had puzzled
the police for months.
When it became known recently
that the boys were ready to admit
the robberies a desperate effort was
made by attorneys and influential
friends to save the accused form pris-
on. A tentative arrangement was
reached by which it was practically
promised the boys would be let
go if they enlisted in the United
States navy. The recruiting station,
however, refused to accept them,
and then the three young men came
before the court and entered pleas.
They were sentenced to prison.

Convicted Last January.
Officer Tried for Selling Whiskey.

Walhalla, Dec. 18.-John P.
Scruggs, deputy collector, was to-day
tried before Magistrate A. P. Crisp
charged with the illegal sale of whis-
key. The magistrate sent the case
up to the circuit court. Some weeks
ago Mr.. Scruggs advertised that he
would sell several gallons of whiskey
il Walhalla that had been seized
from the mountaineers. The stuff
sold readily, the purchasers getting
it in any quantity that they wished.
The sale created some talk at the
time and A. T. Reid, State constable,
reported the matter to the governor,
who ordered the constable to prose-
cute the offender at once. E. F.
Cochran, of Anderson, district at
torney, represented Mr.. Scruggs at
the trial. There were several wit
nesses present to testify, but. after
the magistrate had sworn two he
considered that the State had made
out it's case and accordingly sent it
up. The case will be watched with
the keenest interest.
