WILSON REGRETS
0LNEY'S REFUSAL
TO ACCEPT POST
Family Reasons Given by
Olney for Declining the
AmbassadOrship to
Great Britain

Washington, March 15.-President Will
son received with regret today letter
from Richard Olney of Massachusetts,
former Secretary of State under President
Cleveland. declining for family reasons
the offer of the post of United States
ambassador to Great Britain.
Anxious to fill that post as quickly as
possible. the President probably will make
an appointment within few days. but
It was said he had not yet definitely de-
oided upon any individual. He wishes,
however, to fill this important post be-
fore he settles any other diplomatic mis-
sion and is said to favor man of lit
erary as well as diplomatic reputation
Though no names came forward conspic-
uously today, it was thought the Presi-
dent might choose a man hitherto mem
toned fe- other European posts. These
include David r. Francis of Missouri,
Thomas Nelson Page of Virginia, Angus
tus Thomas of New York, Judge George
Gray Of Delaware. william Church Os-
born OF New York and Edwin A. Al
derman president of the University OF
Virginia.
Chairman William f. McCombs Of the
democratic national committee today told
the President some of the details of the
pre-convention fight in various states.
While President Wilson is not making
bis appointments on the basis of pre-
convention suppc.t 1t was said that the
aliRnments 0f divided democracy before
the Baltimore convention was better IN
dication of what democrats were progress
sive than in the campaign that followed
when the standard bearers were given
united support everywhere.
The President is to be in frequent con-
ference with Mr.. McCombs until some OF
the most important appointments are dls'
posed of. Then, It is believed, the ma
tionai chairman will take a trip abroad
for rest though 1t is not yet settled
whether he will accept President Wilson's .

FIRST CONVICTION
IN GRAFT CRUSADE
IN NEW YORK CITY
Patrolman Hartigan Found
Guilty of Perjury-A Vic
tim of the System
Says Whitman

New York, March 15.--The first con-
viction in the district attorneys cru
sade against grafters in the police de-
partment was obtained this afternoon.
John J. Hartigan, patrolman, was
found guilty of perjury. Hartigan
acted as agent for high police officials
to bribe Witnesses against them to
leave the state.
Hartigan was alluded to by District
Attorney Whitman in summing up as
"a discarded victim of the system
sacrificed to protect one of its pillars"
The prosecutor referred to Dennis
Sweeney, the denoted inspector who
awaits trial on 1S graft indictments as
the man for whom Hartigan had per-
jured himself.
Sweeney is standing like a rock"
cried Mr. Whitman. with the system,
back of him, declaring to the world
that he never took a cent Sweeney
Is the man that has put this young
policeman where he is. There never

tion's case. worked directly for

bribing George A. Sipp. an informer.
to leave the jurisdiction OF the courts
The charge Of perjury against Harti-
gan arose from his denial before the
grand jury that he carried the bribe
money from Sweeney to Police Captain
Walsh.
Hartigan reiterated this denial as a
witness in his own defense today.
Sweeney took the stand for the de-
tense and denied he sent Hartigan TO
Walsh as his agent to carry money
or for any other purpose
The district attorney employed the
opportunity Of Sweeneys appearance
under oath to question him concerning
his alleged guilt as a CRATER. He
