REARREST OF PAGE
IS ORDERED
BRiToN WHO LlBELLED CON-
GREsSMEN MUST ANSWER
TO THE GOVERNMENT.

New York, May PA warrant was
received from Washington today call
ing for the rearrest of Henry w. A.
Page, a wealthy English linen mer-
chant, convicted in Washington year
ago for libelling members of congress.
At that time he was sentenced to five
years Imprisonment and fined $1,000,
but was released under suspended
sentence. The order for rearrest, it
is understood, was issued on the
ground that he had violated the terms
under which sentence was suspended
by writing of his grievances to the
president, attacking the department of
justice.
Pages conviction followed his pub
lication of pamphlets calling congress-
men crooks
He believed, he said, that the courts
had treated him unfairly in giving his
wife the custody of their three chill
dren after granting her a separation.
He memorialized congress, asking for
the Impeachment of certain New York
judges, and when the house judiciary
committee, to which his petition was
referred, gave him no satisfaction, he
mailed to members Of both houses
pamphlets containing an attack on
various congressman.

WILSON CRITICIZED
FOR INTERFERING
IN POLITICS
EXPECTED INTERVENTION IN
SENATORIAL FIGHT IN MARY
LAND is THE THEME.

Washington, May %. - President
Wilson was sharply criticized by re-
publican senators in executive session
tonight for his expected Interference
in the senatorial fight in Maryland,
where William Marbury is a candidate
to succeed Senator John Walter Smith
for the long term. Both are demo-
Gratis and the republicans made capi-
tai of the fact that a democratic presi-
dent apparently had seen fit to get
into a fight between members of his
own party in a state other than his
own.
The criticisms were voiced in the
consideration of the nomination Of
Sherlock Swami as postmaster at Bal
timore. Swami Is a declared sup
ported of Marbury, but Senator Smith
in a speech asked his colleagues to
vote for his confirmation. In spite of
this, the viva yoce vote was SO clase
that the vice president declared him
self in doubt, but on rising vote
Swami was confirmed.
The criticisms of the president to-
night were the first that have been
made of him by senators in executive
session since he entered the White
House.

.M'REYNOLDS ASKED
TO MAKE DEMAND
FOR. BIG sum
OVER FoRTY.THREE MILLION
DOLLARS DUE FROM MIS-
SOURI, PACIFIC.

Washington, May 22.-Representa-
tive Neeley of Kansas has submitted
to Attorney General McReynolds a
formal request that the government
proceed at once to collect from the
Missouri Pacific railroad $43,362, ,346
due the government for subsidized
bonds advanced to aid in the con-
struction of the central branch of the
Missouri Pacific railroad in Kansas
Mr.. Neeley recently introduced reso
luton directing the attorney general
to take this step.
This is the only claim the govern
ment has on account of the subsidy
bonds to aid in the construction of the
Missouri Pacific railroads. All other
bond-aided railroads have paid their
subsidy loans. Solicitor Thompson OF
the treasury department, has advised
the secretary of the treasury that il
would seem now, after lapse of AZ
years after the date of the bonds, mat
ters should be brought to a conclusion
with respect to this, the only remain
ing unsatisfied claim. 1t must be
apparent to everyone that If no effort
is made to collect it, it never will be
paid"
