road, going direct to Baltimore. From the
latter city he went to Washington, going

young man, a friend of his, who repre-
scented that he could obtain good posi-

OF his friend. McCleary is reported to
have declined to tell
McCleary says he did not know that
Miss Lupah Henry was in Washington;
that by mere chance he saw her walk
ing on the street in Washington; that
he followed her at a distance to her
boarding house. and In this way learned
her address, which he had written on a
piece of paper found in his possession
when arrested. He denied having OBJ
tanned the address from Mrs. Henry,
the mother. before her death, and like
wise denied any knowledge concerning
the missing letter, which promises to
figure prominently in the case.

FEW ENGAGEMENTS MADE
TO MEET NATIONAL COMMITTEE

SEAGIRT. n. j., August A.-With the
idea that the country is tired of stamping
tours and an excess of speech making.
Gov Woodrow Wilson announced today
that his present plans call for very few
campaign speeches, not many outside OF
the state Of New Jersey, and then only or
particular occasions to which he will have
received invitations.
The governor said that next Monday
morning he would confer with Vice
Chairman McAdoo in New York and as
many members of the national committee
as could be gathered for counsel.
The plan of speaking engagements viii
be arranged at that time, although the
governor explained that his advisers al.
ready were unanimously opposed to a
swing around the circle" or stamping
tour of any kind. Out OF 200 letters re-
ceived from people fho were not poll
ticians l75 suggested that the governor
conduct "a dignified stay-at-home cam
paign.'
No Stump Speeches.
There will not be any large number
of speeches away from New Jersey" said
Gov. Wilson today. Still, nobody knows
what the developments of the campaign
will be- 1t Is the general judgment that
this is the most effective way to conduct
this campaign. From my general cor
respondence | find that a great majority
of the people believe that ought not
to make any great number of speeches
The country is tired of stumping tours
The arguments on the other SIDE come
from men active i'm politics. They are
Mortified that the usual program will not
be followed in this campaign.
MY private Judgment is that extended
stumping tours are not the most effective
method of conducting a campaign.
NAV make a considerable number of
speeches, but as for going about and
canvassing the country. l have no such

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, August a.
Claiming that they are now in the course
of unearthing additional important evil
dence, which is alleged to strongly con-
meet Norman Bruce McCleary with the
sudden and mysterious death of Mrs
Mamie B. Henry in Hagerstown last
week, States Attorney Wolfinger afi>
nounced this morning that McCleary
would not be given preliminary hearing
today. 1t was stated last night that Mo
Cleary would be taken before Police JUS
tice Doub today, but on account Of i'm
portant developments during the night
this plan was changed. Just when the
accused will be given preliminary hear
ing the officers decline to say.
Since his arrival here last night Nc
Cleary has displayed a rather Indifferent
manner. While declining to make q
statement, 1t is known that he strongly
asserted his innocence to the officers and
claimed to have been amazed when told
he was suspected Of having murdered
and robbed Mrs Henry. He said the
first information he had OF Mrs. Henry 8
death was when he heard the news in
Washington Wednesday. Following his
arrest he says the officers in Washington
tried hard to make him confess, but
that he could not confess to q crime he
had not committed.
McCleary admits having been at the
Henry home on the evening of August
is and had conversation with Mrs.
Henry that when he left there he went
to his own home arriving there in time
for supper. and after the evening meal
he went to a moving picture show. He
denies having stolen about $40 from the
Henry home. Some of the money which
he spent he says he earned. and the bal
ance he borrowed from a friend, but the
officers say he has declined to give the
name of that friend.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
To the Memory of Judge Boatner
Adopted by the Tensas Bar.

To the Honorable John Dale, Judge of
the Tenth Judicial District Court,
holding sessions in and for the Par
ish of Tensas, State of Louisiana.
We, the undersigned, appointed by
your Honor as a committee from the
Tensas Bar to prepare and present to this
Honorable Court suitable resolutions COM
memorative of the death of our late
and distinguished brother and presiding
Judge, the Honorable John Stirling Boat
ner, beg leave to report as follows;
That in his death we feel that our Dis
trict and State has lost true, loyal and
faithful friend, citizen and official, one
whose very best efforts and splendid abil-
ity were at all times enlisted in the cause
of the people amongst whom he lived,
labored and loved.
Of an attractive personality and sim
gularly courteous demeanor, yet quiet
and unobtrusive in manner, to have the
privilege of intimate association with him
was indeed genuine pleasure. As law
yer and advocate, the ability he displayed
in the conception and grasp of his clients
cases, the resourcefulness and aggressive
ness in the clash of active practice, unit
ed with his eloquence, forcefulness and
eminent legal learning, made his services
in demand and counsel sought. As a pre-
siding Judge and Jurist, his uniform
courtesy, dignity and impartiality; his
breadth Of mind; the practical enforce
ment OF the law; and his humane admin
istration of justice, were on every hand
recognized, and endeared him to all who
appeared before the Court-over which he
presided, and earned for him the esteem
and respect of all classes.
Therefore, feeling keenly our great loss
in the death of this kind and good man,
we, in unison with the entire people OF
this parish, profoundly mourn, and ex-
tend to the members of the family of our
lamented and deceased brother our sim
cerest condolences.
And we now request that this report
be filed by order of this Court, and that
same be made part of the archives
thereof; that a copy be rendered the fam
lily of the deceased by the Clerk; and
that a copy be furnished each of the pub
lie journals published within the Judicial
District.
