ton resulting from the policy OF
Greece in waging war and negotiating
peace simultaneously. The Turkish DEL
egati9n announced, today, that it was

All the conferees expressed the be-

of the conference are enhanced by the
declaration of the Turks that they have

Some OF the Dynamiters Are
"Getting Theirs at Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 17-John T.
Butler, Buffalo, n. Y, vice president
of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers,
tonight, was locked in Jail after his
bond of $4,000 had been increased
to $4,000 and after the court had
said he committed perjury in testify
ing in his own behalf as a defendant
in the Dynamite conspiracy trial.
At the conclusion of today's ses-
sion, in which both the prosecution
and the defence rested their cases,
Federal Judge Anderson delivered
from the bench a scathing arraign
ment of what he termed A display
that has taken place here in the last
two weeks"
L don't believe" said Judge An
derson, referring to the stories of vio-
lence, riots, assaults and dynamitings
related on the witness stand, Il don't
believe, and if l did I would not have
any hope for this country that or
ganized labor stands for the things
that have been shown here.
This man Butler took the stand,
today, and swore to things he knew
were not true, and everybody here
knew he was committing perjury.
There are few people in this country
who must be told that the law is the
law, and if there is any gentleman in
this court room who feels that the
shoe fits him, let him put it on.
have never seen display such as has
taken place here in the last two
weeks, and I have been a lawyer and
on the bench for the last "a years.
Judge Anderson's remarks were
made after the jury had been retired
for the day and after Clarence E.
Dowd, Rochester, n. Y, formerly or
ganizer for the International Assoc
citation of Machinists in Detroit, had
been discharged on the ground that
sufficient evidence did not exist
against him. This leaves forty men
whose cases are to go to the jury. The
case is expected to be in the jury's
hands in about eight days.
Butler earlier in the day entered g

HIS WARNING.
Wilson Says Panic May
Be Started to Hurt Him.
Governor Speaks al Banquet Of
Southern Society, New York.
Will Continue Fight In New Jersey
Even though Ne Is President.

New York, Dec. 17-President- elect
Wilson held up a warning finger, to-
night, to any man who might DELHI
erately start a panic in the United
States in order to show that intended
legislative policies We're wrong. In a
speech at the banquet of the South
ern Society of New York, he declared
that he had heard sinister predictions
of what would follow if the Demo-
cratic party put into effect changes
in economic policy.
The President elect first distinguish
ed in his speech between natural
and UNNATURAL panics. He said that
in many cases panic had come nat
urally because of a mental disturb
ance of people with reference to loans
and money generally.
But the machinery is in exist
ence." he said, by which the thing
can be deliberately done. Frankly,
don't think there is any man living,
who dares use the machinery for that
purpose II he does, | promise him,
not for myself, but for my fellow coun-
trymen, gibbet as high as Ha-
mans"
no literal gibbet' for THAT is not
painful" but he said it would be a
gibbet of public disgrace which would
live as Long as the members of that
mans family survive
America with her eyes open isn't
going to let panic happen con-
tinued the/Governor, but l speak as
# 1 expected it-as if 1 feared it. /
do not. / am afraid of nothing
The President elects speech covered
a variety OF subjects. He treated first
of sectionalism, declaring that it
ought not to exist.
"There is a vast deal to do" he said
land it can best be done by forgetting
that We are partisans of anything except
the honor and prosperity of the nation
ITSELF
Mr. Wilson then referred briefly to
provincialsm and said that some people
had an idea that all the thinking of the
country was done in New York City. h
said the Southern societss represented al
importation of thought from the Soutl
into the great metropolis.
Il am happy to feel that there no long
er is a serious consciousness of sectiona
differences in the United States, he said
There can be no sectionalism about the
thinking of America from this time on
because no hard-headed man can prove
that there are such things as sectional
interests"
The governor here told his hearers oil
his strenuous day in New Jersey. 1--WE
thought we Strengthened things out il

stay straight.
There are some people in New Jersey
who are happy that they can count the
days when they can get rid of me. But
they are not going to get rid of me. a

what goes on in New Jersey, and a mar
can say from Washington what he think:
