TAFT, MINUS 100
LBS, SEES WILSON
He Congratulates the President on the
Success of His Administration
Plans a Lecture.

Washington, Nov. l5.--Former Presi-
dent William III. Test, nearly 100 pounds
lighter than when he was there before,
dropped into the executive Offices yes
terday. He called to pay his respects
TO President Wilson, and the latter side
tracked all callers to welcome his pre-
deeessor. The Taft stay was brief. He
insisted that he had merely stepped in
to ''pay his respects" and that he did
not desire to interfere with previously
arranged engagements. Mr.. Taft is in
Washington to deliver a lecture before
the National Geographical society.
The former president shook hands and
warmly greeted all OF the executive Of
fees attaches. He said that he never
felt better in his life and pointed with
pride to somewhat hollow appearance
under his vest. He said that by diet
and plenty of outdoor exercise he has
reduced his weight materially.
The former president congratulated
President Wilson on the success which
his administration has attained and jok.
ingly suggested 10 him that the wear
and tear of running the nation did not
seem to appreciably interfere with the
Wilson physique. He joked with Sena-
tor Poindexter and Senator Stone and
invited them to pay him visit at New
Haven.
After leaving the executive offices, Mr..
Taft called at the White House and left
cards for the ladies of the Wilson fam
lily.

Upton CAN'T BUY
WASHINGTON HOME
Wanted to Send Sulgrave Manor to the
United States as a
Gift.

London, Nov 15.-Sir Thomas Upton
made an attempt recently to purchase
Sulgrave Manor, the family home of
George Washington's ancestors in Eng
land, with the intention of taking it
apart and having it set up again stone
by stone in the United States as his
gift to America.
Sir Thomas and an American friend
were motoring through Northampton
shire when the American suggested that
they visit Sulgrave Manor. Sir Thomas
fell in with the idea and the two spent
all the rest of the day trying to find the
place. No one seemed to have any idea
OF the location of Washington's ances-
trail home. The searchers ran into it
accidentally. Sir Thomas was then
struck with the idea of presenting it to
America.
'I'll buy it," he said, "and have good
workmen take it to pieces carefully, pre-
sent it to the United States and have it
erected in Washington, New York, or
any place that may be selected, so that
the original home of ,Washington's an
cestors may be easily viewed by Ameri-
cans. | shall send over workmen to erect
it exactly as it stands now"
Sir Thomas opened negotiations and
made an offer of $4,000 for the house,
but the committee arranging the CEN
tennial of peace between England and
the United States rejected the plan with
out offering an explanation.
Sulgrave Manor remains therefore in
England. remote and almost inaccessible
but on its own grounds.

TEACHER-MOTHER
WINS HER CASE
IN NEW YORK
State Supreme Court Orders Reinstate-
ment of Mrs. Peixotto to Her
Place in City Schools.

New York, Nov. l5.-Mrs. Bridget G.
Peixotto, a school teacher discharged a
month ago by the board of education for
neglect of duty in being absent to be-
come mother, yesterday won her fight
for reinstatement. Supreme Court JUS
tice Seabury issued peremptory writ
of mandamus directing the board to re-
store to Mrs. Peixotto her position as
teacher in a school in the Bronx. Mrs.
Peixotto's case was selected to test the
boards ruling that married teachers
may not obtain leaves OF absence to
permit them to bear children. She had
been absent, on sick leave, nearly year,
but the nature of her indsposition was
not known to the board when leave of
absence was first granted her. When
it was learned that she had given birth
to child during this period, she was
discharged.
Justice Seabury pointed out by pre-
vious court ruling it had been decided
that the board had no right to remove
a teacher because she was married.
"This being the case" he continued, "it
seems to me self-evident that if she cam
not be removed because of her mar
riage, she cannot be removed because OF
an act which is natural incident of her
marriage"

Everett P. Fowler Of Albany
Was Graft Collector
for Tammany
FIRST ACTION
BY GRAND JURY
A Gift" of $3.50 from Con-
tractor S. P. Hull Was
Asked and Received

| New York. Nov l5.--Everett II. Fow-
Ter OF Kingston, described by John A.
Hennessey, graft investigator for for
mer Governor Sulzer, as Tammany
"bag man" for contributions from state
highway contractors, was indicted yes
terday on charge OF extortion.
He is accused of forcing Seneca 2.
Hull, highway contractor and Re-
publican to give up $3.50 as Demo-
cratic campaign contribution under
threat that work on Hull's state road
contract in Cortland county would not
be approved by the state highway in
spectors and his pay would be held up.
The indictment is the first growing
out of the inquiry instituted by Dis
trict Attorney Whitman into charges of
graft made by Hennessey during the
recent election campaign against Tam
many.
The grand jury, before handing in the
Indictment against Fowler, heard but
one witness, a state highway contrac-
tor. and read three letters, two of them
calling upon the contractor to meet
Fowler, and the third, an acknowledge
ment from the Office of the Democratic
state committee of the receipt of $3.50
contribution from the contractor
That District Attorney Whitman in
tends to push the contract graft inves-
tigation from now on was shown yes
terday when it was learned that every
contractor mentioned by Hennessey as a
contributor to campaign funds would be
served with subpoena within few
days. Hennessey, in statement made
Thursday, said that he knew OF 300
state contractors who had contributed
and Mr.. Whitman will call every one of
them. 1t is likely that the majority of
them will go before the John Doe in
quiry, but some of those who are ex-
pected to give important testimony may
be grand jury witnesses.

Washington, Nov. l5.-Although de-
preeating the necessity for overworking
its employees, the postoffice department.
yesterday announced that it would be
compelled to close its eyes to the federal
eight-hour law during the Christmas
rush of mail matter.
"While it is not desired to work UNI
due hardships on the employees of the

ter General Roper yesterday, "yet it
must be kept in mind that the Christ
mas season is an emergency recognized
by the department as justifying the EN-

QUOTES BIBLE TO BACK WHIP.
Delaware Representative Says His State
Is Willing to Stand Alone.

Washington, Nov. l5.-Fortified by nu-
merous decisions of the supreme court
and Biblical questions upholding the
practice of corporal punishment, Repre-
sentative Brockson of Delaware yester-
day defended in the House the laws of
that state and the use of the rod and
the whip in its administration of JUS
tice.
"The state of Delaware, being sat
isfied of the justice of her laws, is will
ing to stand alone for that which is
right, rather than to stand with the
multitude for that which is wrong"
He asserted that no mans life is ever
endangered by the infection of corporal
punishment. Lengthy supreme court de-
cisions, holding the whipping post to be
a states right, not in violation of the
federal constitution, were cited by Rep
resentative Brockson.
