LYNCHING PROBE MAY
RESULT IN NAUGHT
Evidence Reported No More Con-
vincing Than Former Hearing.
"ASTROLOGER" TESTIFIES TODAY
DR.. DOremus to Whom Alleged Con-
LESSONS of Gleasons We're Made,
Goes Before Grand Inquest.

After delaying the case for several
hours since yesterday, pending the
arrival Of additional witnesses, includ-
ing Detective Bowers, the alleged DR.
Doremus. the astrologer, to whom it
is alleged the Gleason brothers made
onfession of their participation
in the Brooklyn lynching of last
Christmas morning, the Anne Arun-
del county grand jury this afternoon
resumed its investigation of the out
rage.
DR.. Doremus and Jimmie" Dunn
and other Burns sleuths, were pres
ent in Court this morning, but the in
quest had in the meantime, taken up
other business, so that none Of the
lynehing witnesses were called until
this afternoon. 1t is reported that
the dictagraph which recorded the al
legged confessions of the Gleasons,
and which was to be produced before
the grand inquest in connection with
the evidence of the witnesses, is bro
ken.
Nothing has been disclosed concern
ing the trend of testimony given be =
fore the jury, but il is reported from
unofficial but reliable sources that
the charges of completely lodged
against John and Thomas Gleason,
who have been confined in Jail for
several months, will probably be
quashed, owing to lack of substantial
evidence. 1t is expected that the in
quiry into the lynching will be COM
pleted today.

WILSON SQUtLCHESA ALL
CABINET SPECULATIONS
Win Provide Cautiously as to APP
pOintments and Extra Session.
PLANS TO BE GOOD LISTENER.
President Elect Agrees to Attend Big
Celebration in Native Town Of
Staunton.

Those who have been making cab
inets for President-elect Wilson were
jolted last night when the recipient
of all the suggestions that came
trooping over the telegraph wires the
moment his election was assured
stiffened his back before the open
fireplace of his sitting room and told
the newspaper correspondents that he
was perfectly capable of selecting
his own family of departmental ad-
visers and intended tc do so.
"Such speculations, he said, re-
ferring to the list of Cabinet officials
that had been pieI ared in every town
where the wiseacres could get the ear
of reporter, 'are perfectly fruit
less. mean to keep my mind en-
tirely open with regard TO appoint
ments of the first consequence until
future announcement is possible. 1t
will be perfectly useless to resort to
me for Confederation of any report,
because ! shall have absolutely moth
ing to announce.
No announcement will have the
least authority whicd is not made over
my own signature. These are mat
ters which must be determined by
very deliberate counsel and not by
gossip.
The rain kept from Princeton
yesterday ali visitors except a dele
CATION from the Governors birthplace
in Saunton, Va, who came to tell
him that there is going to be a jubi-
lee down there next month and thst
the townspeople would much appre-
eiate his presence.
In the delegation were President
Edward A. Alderman and Dean Rich
ard Dabney, of the University of
Virginia, and Col. Armistesd Gordon
and Peyton Cochran. of Staunton.
They reminded the Governor that the
next President of the United States
was born in Staunton fifty-six years
ago and next month and they told
him the celebration wouldn't be worth
while unless the celebrated was
there. So the Governor said he
would go.
Talk of special sessions of Congress
to revive the tariff is not to be al
lowed to worry him for consider
able space of time, if the prediction
of those who have followed his inter
esting career as Governor of New
Jersey are to be needed. They have
always found him eager to get infor-
nation and counsel, slow to take any
step until he sees his way clear to
tie end
There is every reason to believe
that Woodrow Wilson, both as Pres.
idential nominee and President-eleet,
has not only not discussed the franz
ing OF Cabinet with anybody, but
will not make any final decision
until after he maps out his own
course of action with regard to his
administration. From his announced
intention of being the best listener
in the United States" for a few
months it is probable that until he has
talked with party leaders and taken
counsel with people all over the coun-
try he will not let his mind deal spe-
cifically with appointments.
The President-elect said that he
considered the time between his cleo
tion and his Inauguration a period in
which he should listen very carefully
to the ideals of men enlightened
and informed on national questions
and that it was "a public duty" for
him to do so.

1t was just another case of two
much Johnson. The players made
costly errors but you can't expect
them to win game on hits. And
when the Winnebago is going prop

years ago he pitched a no hit game

dependable ones. He is pitching nice
ball for the Joe town boss this year.
He whitfield the Kaws in the pinches
and was going better at the finish
than he was at the start.
tain of the Drummers had a mixed
day. Digging into the outfield nearly
back of first base he spoiled a few
that looked like hits. He got a couple
difficult chances. He looks like a
worthy leader for a pretty good team.

but he dropped Zwillings fly Friday
after what looked like a perfect
catch. The next time up Zwilling
drove one against the right field fence
but Lee held him to a double on it.
That sort of hit usually goes for
three bags on Kaw field.
One of the scores was generously
presented to the Joseys by King
when he misjudged and dropped Wat
sons fly back of second. Everyone
thought the batter was out. They
were surprised when King missed it,
King made one of the three hits ac-
credited to the locals. 1t was of the
scratch order, but in panicky times
like Friday even the scratch kind look
good.
