WILSON'S TRIP THE CRUX
Will Be Formidable Presidential Fac
tor If He Makes Hit In West

Washington, May 2.-Politicians are
craning their necks into the future in
speculation on how Governor Wood
row Wilson is going to take among
the common folks when he goes on his
western trip for the purpose, as they
are giving it out in New Jersey, of
getting acquainted.
Will the governor make hit as a
public speaker travelling up and down
the country in quest of support in
the Swing around the circle" prelimi
harry to run for the presidency, or
will he be fizzle and failure?
A good deal depends on the way
DR.. Wilson impresses the westerners
on this occasion. If he makes good
with them he will be formidable as
factor in the presidential situation. If
he fails his chances will be greatly
crippled.
DR.. Wilson's friends say that the
fact that he has so long been col
lege president has given many people
an entirely wrong impression of him
He is not the stiff and dignifled per-
son that one is apt to imagine from
his university anterecents.

ers say that 10000 will quit work.
The strikers demand the reinstate-

At Pitcairn the company had laid of

CHURCH WINS WILL FIGHT
Niece Loses Contest For 100000 Es-

Washington, May MARY Virginia
Miller, niece of Frederick Hickey, Jr.,
late of Baltimore, lost her fight against
the First Spiritual church, of Balti-
more, which benefited to the extent
of some 100000 by a proviso in her
uncle's will.
The supreme court, to which Miss
Miller appealed, declined to review
decision of the lower federal courts
favorable to the church.
The 100000 is the estimated value
of West VIRGINIA lands bequeathed by
Hickey to the church. Miss Miller
contested the bequest on the ground
that it was agains; the public policy
of West Virginia to allow churches to
be enriched by wills.
