FEW WORDSFROh
 WOODROW WILSON
Sorry to Regret Friendship With Henry WatterSon His Only Com ment--Bitter Words of Ken
 lucky Editor Statesman

Trenton, NJ. Jan. 30-"The latest statement of Col. Watterson ad- mits of no comment from me-" said Gov. Woodrow Wilson today, when newspaper men asked him if he had any reply to make to the Kentucky editors statement issued last night.
 When asked for his reasons for making no comment, the governor said:
 T had hoped they were self-evi- dent.n
 The governor then added:
 T am only sorry to have to re- eret the friendship, which, while it lasted, I found interesting an en- ioyable."
 Asked if he did not mean to say the loss of friendship" the gover- nor replied that he preferred to have the statement stand as he dic- tated it.
 The most bitter part of Col. Wat terson's statement was the follow ing:
 ITO confuse and mislead the pub- lie, he Gov. Wilson,, has latterly adopted a policy of alternate silence and sneering. Giving the lie direct to my statement that I was asked to help the financial end of his cam- paign and declining my offer to submit the proof of it's truth to a body of gentlemen and Democrats equally concerned with ourselves for the wellbeing of the party, he thinks to cloud the issue and escape it's menace by turning upon me the irresponsible chatter of a literary bureau which claims to live of the immediate contributions of sub scribers having wings, harps and halos, and which has been for weeks flooding the country with ev- cry manner of Justification. The very existence of this, to say noth- ing of the sources of it's being, should set honest people to think ing.
 "The Ryan story, which has made such an impression unon the un- knowing and unreflecting. was, as far as it related to Col Harvey, a lie out of whole cloth. Though Gov. Wilosn knows this, he has allowed it to circulate without a word of contradiction. The attempt which followed it's exposure by me, to make it appear that I have inti- mated that application was mada to Mir. Ryan, is cut off the same cloth and is characteristic of the duplieity whcih attaches itself to the entire proceeding of the gover- nor and his publicity agents"

ROOSEVELT WOULD NOT
 REFUSE THE NOMINATION
Docs Not Want Office, but if Ser vices Are Called for Would Re-
 spond as Would Enlist for War

Trenton. N. J., Jan. 30-That Col. Theodore Roosevelt would no more decline to take the nomination for president than he would decline to enlist if needed in time of war, is the opinion of Lawrence r. Abbott, one of the editors of the Outlook, contained in a letter received here today by Edward c. Stokes, former governor of New Jersey. The letter received by Mr. Stokes follows a visit he made to the Outlook office last week, when he had an inter- view with Col Roosevelt, and sug- gested that he write a letter or have one written defining his position relative to the presidency. The let ter from MT. Abbott, given out by Mir. Stokes today, is prefaced with a statement that Mir. Abbott had no authority to speak for Col. Roose- welt, but during the past two years he had exceptional opportunity to learn Col. Roosevelt's views and the workings of his mind. Mir. Abbott further says:
 T am convinced that he does not desire the nomination. and will en- ter no contest for it. But I am equally convinced that if his coun- trymen have still further need of his services as their chief executive he will no more decline their call than he would decline to enlist if needed in time of war;"

 Rob Travellers Too.
SATURDAY
 FEBRUARY 2 IN COURT HOUSE AT MENA

Pekin, Jan. 30-EMukden pciice are systematically raiding the homes of prominent men suspected of sympathizing with the revolu- tionary party, assassinating them and carrying off their wives and daughters, according to letter from a missionary in that city re- ceived here today Consular re- ports confirm the accounts of scores of murdesr nightly.
 The letter of the missionary con- tinucs:
 Whole armies of mounted rob- bers are plundering travellers along the roads leading to Harbin. These brigands hold the rich for ransom which has to be paid either in guns and ammunition or in money. They torture and kill their victims if the ransom is not forthcoming. The law-abiding Chinese of the vicinity are praying for the intervention of the Japanese in southern MaLchuria and of the Russians in the north"
 General Chao .Arh Feng, vIcerOy of Sze Chuan, who was decapitated by the revolutionists at Cheng Tu in December, was tha brother of Gen. Chao Erh Hsun, the viceroy of Manchuria. The latter is evidently determined not to sharA lis broth- er's fase and perhaps is also exact ing vengeance for his brother.
 General Chao Erh Hsun is the only vigorous opponent of republi- canism among the remaining vice. Toys. lie iras adopted the method of employing hundreds of brigands as police force and is legalizing the assassinations and other crimes committed by these desperado bands.

DOUGHTY FRIEND OF
 LABOR IS BRANDEIS
Declares That Condition of Elm ployes of Steel Corporation in America Much Worse Than
 Exists in England.

Washington, Jan. 29.-L. D. Bran- deis of Boston and D. A. Reid counsel for the United States steel corporation, clashed today before the Stanley committee over a line of inquiry into the corporations la- bor policy.
 Mir. Brandeis challenged Judge IGary's statement that the corpora tion's treatment of employees com pared favorably with that of em- ployes of any other. He criticised the length of hours of workmen.
 The percentage of men who un- lergo hardships is unusually large, T said MT. Bandeis. Judge Gary's comment on criticisms of the cor poration's policy shows to me the utter inability of large corpora tions to regard human life"
 MT. Brandeis declared that the steel industry in England has elim- mate entirely all these objection able features.
 You don't mean England has been able to do anything for labor that we can't do in this country?" demanded Chairman Stanley. You must be mistaken"
 Unfortunately, in this case, am not mistaken" returned Mr. Bran deis, saying that the working week of an English steel worker was 5.52 hours, and that 42 per cent of the workers in this country averaged 72 hours.
 "Mr. Carnegie has said the steel business was case of feast or fam- inc, prince or pauper in the early days. Today, with the steel cor poration it is case of prince and pauperizing," said Mir. Brandeis.
 He charged that the steel work CTS were worse of than slaves.
 The slave owners were human" i" he said, land slaves came into per- sonal contact with their owners. No the other hand the owners of this steel corporation are in the position exactly similar to the ab- sentee landlords in Ireland, and through their stock distribution scheme to employees have brought about a condition exactly compar- able to the appalling. rent condi- tions in Ireland"

SLAVES OF THE STEEL TRUST
 TOLL FOR BARE EXISTENCE

Washington, Jan. 30.-When Louis D. Brandeis. at the steel trust hearing today, calculated that 65 per cent of the eGployes of the steel corporation in the Pittsburg district earn less than the actual cost of subsistence of the average American family, Attorney Reed for the corporation exclaimed:
 "How about other industries that pay an average of i6 cents an hoiror
 We are not here 10 cxtol ycrr neighbors. They are not under ln- vestigation; you are" retorted Brandeis.
 Mir. Brandeis said that ia the last decade the steel corporation had taken from the American people six hundred and fifty millions in ex- cess of a liberal profit on is in vestment.
 MT. Brandeis said 6 per cent of #the steel workers in the Pittsburg district, by working f2 hours a day, 365 days a year, earn less than $768. the amount estimated to sustain the bare existence of family consist ing of a husband, wife and three children.
 Confessed the Corn.
 Attorney Reed announced during the hearing this afternoon that plans for the relief of the corpo- ration's workmen are about to be undertaken.
 "A committee of stockholders is working on a plan to correct condi- tions that have been criticized" he said.

|DARROW INDICTED BRIBERY CHARGE
Attorney for the McNamaras Di- rectly Charged With 'Fixinq" Two Jurors-Says Is Innocent
 Expected Action of Jury

Los Angeles, Jan. 29.-Two months of uncertainty and suspense ended today for Clarence s. Dar- row, union labor attorney, when the county grand jury, which for four weeks has been Investigating alle- cations of corruption in connection with the trial jury in the McNa- mara dynamite case, returned two indictments charging him with bribery.
 There are four counts in the two bills. Two of the counts charge Darrow with the bribery and att tempted corruption of Robert Bain. the first juror sworn to try James B. McNamara, now serving a life sentence in San Quentin prison. The remaining counts alleged the bribery and corruption of George N. Lockwood, a venireman summoned in the McNamara case.
 The maximum penalty that could be imposed upon Darrow in case of conviction in all counts is thirty years imprisonment and fines ag- gregating $i0,000. He is under S20,000 bail. The former chief de- fender of the McNamaras said to- night he is glad the suspense is over, and that he faces his arraign- ment Thursday in the superior court with an equanimity born of his own innocence.
 One guiltless of crime could hardly expect anything else than acquittal,' he said, smiling.
 Darrow, who had expected the indictments, was ready with S20,000 bond, and was released.

SIX GOVERNORS
 FOR ROOSEVELT
All Known as Leaders of the Pro- gressive Element of the Repub- lican Party-Claim Ex-Presi-
 dent Is Strong in South.

New York, Jan. 29.-Six Republi- can governors are enrolled in a self appointed committee to advo- cate the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt for the presidency, ac- cording to Governor Walter R. Stubbs of Kansas, who is now in New York. The committee unoffi- cial, but active, includes Governor Stubbs. Governor Bass, of New Hampshire; AIdrich of Nebraska: Hadley of Missouri; Glasscock of West Virginia, and Osborne of Michigan-all rated as leaders of the progressive wing of the Re- publican party in their respective states.
 According to Gov. Stubbs, the six governors are in constant commu- nication by letter and telegrams. As a result, he declared, he was in in a position to gauge the strength of the Roosevelt movement accu- rately, and he was very optimistic.
 Particularly in the south" he said. Roosevelt sentiment is strong. A large number of the southern leaders who have, in the past, dominated the actions of dele- gates chosen from their respective states, are strongly in favor of the nomination of Roosevelt. Pennsyl- vania, New York and Ohio also show a strong Roosevelt sentiment.
 Colonel Roosevelt does not want the nomination. He has everything to lose and nothing to gain by ac- cepting it. However. I feel that conditions will impose the nomina- tion mon him"
