WILSON DENIES COERCION
Does Not Glass Recalcitrant
Democrats as Rebels.

Washington, oct. S.-Reports that Pres
ident Wilson was attempting to prod
Democratic Senator'S into quick action on
the currency bill and a published state
ment that he would class as a rebel
any Democrat who did not support him
brought out an emphatic denial from the
White House to-day. The President made
public the following letter:
ITO the Editor of The Washington
Post
"Sir: l am quoted in your issue of this
morning as saying that any one who does
not support me Is no Democrat. but a
rebel. OF course, l never said any such
thing II is contrary both to my thought
and to my character, and must ask that
you give very prominent place in your
issue OF tomorrow to this denial.
VERY truly yours
WOODROW WILSON"
While there have been many published
reports that the President was consider
ing statement charging the existence of
a lobby by the big banks exerting control
over smaller banks to oppose the bill. the
White House to-day declared the Presi-
dent would not issue such statement at
this time.

BIGGEST SHAKE-UP DUE
Waldo to Make the Fourth a
Model Inspection District.

Every patrolman and sergeant in The
4th Inspection District will be replaced
before Saturday by recruits from the Po-
lice School Of Instruction and sergeants
who will be appointed to-day or to-mor-
row The plan, which Commissioner
Waldo hopes will result IN the making Of
a model police district will involve more
than one thousand men-the biggest
shake-up in the history of the depart
ment.
The reason for assigning these new
men TO this district" said Commissioner
Waldo. is because these men have not
come into contact with the alleged 'sys-
tenn that is said TO exist in the Police De-
partment."
The district comprises the West 47th.
West 6Sth, West Tooth and Central Park
police stations. None Of the park police
men, all old men, will be disturbed but
the 498 others, to a man, will be trans
ferred TO other precincts. Commissioner
Waldo said he would keep Inspector
Dwyer and possibly his captains and
some Of his lieutenants.
The task OF the new patrolmen will
not be an easy one They will have to
deal with the "Gophers." the Nasty
Petes" and other gangsters. and the fol-
lowers OF gambling houses and other evil
resorts. which abound in the district.

Father Hans Schmidt were started yes
terday. Three witnesses were heard.
Mary Bann, OF Shadyside, n. j., told
how she found in the Hudson near her
home the upper and lower portions Of
the torso of Anna Aumuller. The last
witness was DR.. King. the county physi-
clan of Hudson County, who performed
the autopsy. The employees OF Volk's I'M
dertaking establishment in Hoboken also

James A. Delehanty, who examined the
witnesses, said that the next grand jury

Inspector Faurot sent a detective to
Kingston yesterday to determine if the
scalp and arm of a woman found in a
box In the Hudson there were parts of
the body Of the priests victim. Inspector
Faurot said that If they were. Schmidt
lied when he said he disposed OF the nine
parts into which he dismembered the
girls body. by wrapping them in brown
paper and throwing them into the Hudson
from a Fort Lee ferryboat
Asked II he put any OF his victims body
in a box, Schmidt replied: Positively
not"
Alphonse G.. Koelble. counsel for Schmidt.

would be subscribed by people interested
In the priest. Who they were he would
not say.

M'CALL LAUDS GREENPOlNT
Tells Delegation It Ought to
Have Subway Now, but Cant.

The aldermanic chamber Of the City
Hall was crowded yesterday at the hear
ing on the proposed "crosstown' subway
from the Brighton Beach elevated system
to the greensboro Bridge Plaza. When
Chairman Mccall Of the Public Service
Commission called for arguments against
the proposition there was no response.
THE proposed route Of this subway into
Greenpolnt was an education TO me-" said
Chairman Mccall. II venture to say that
the taxpayers of Manhattan. close TO Jour
door, do not have any conception of the
thriving industries you have over there.
To the shame of the city they do net
know that a great manufacturing district
exists there, cul de sac. But let US
be plain, so that you will not 20 from
here with false impressions. The finan-
cial condition of the city is the only bar
rier to immediate construction OF the
route. The question is, can we lind an
honorable way TO put this project into
construction" The chairman pledged
himself TO do all he could 10 bring II
about.
Among the speakers were Frank w.

Washington. Oct s--No other executive
department in washington is command

conditions exist which contain the pos
sibility of serious and open friction be-

the situation in Mr.. Bryan's bailiwicK

trouble seems to be that there is no I'M

CCOpyriEht. 1913, By Frank G. C-nrpenter)

from eight to IS years Of age Here
the average wage is about 20 cents
a day, n until lately the hours have
been long Nearly everywhere the
n the boys less than the women.
This is so in the tobacco factories as
wei.
What Mechanics Get.
I had a talk last night with an
American contractor who has been put
ting up buildings all over Mexico. he
tells me that the ordinary mechanics
wage ia the cities is from so cents
to 81 a day Carpenters get 81 for
good work, and bricklayers and ma
where there is plenty to do around
the WharVes. the wages are higher,
but as a rule the higher the wages
the less number Of days Of work fur
nished.
The man who gets 81 a day will
work only " or three days a week,
and If he gets 81 he nay work a while
and then lay off for a month. A few
weeks ago a contractor found that six
Of his men were doing so well that he
could raise their wages 80 per cent.
They were receiving 81 a day, and he
gave them $3.50. The result was that
he got only three days Of kork the
next week, n he finally had to dis
charge the whole gang and bring in
new men at the old rate Of wages. He
says the labor is not so efficient as
ours, and that one American will lay
bricks than four MeXicans.
Labor on the Plantations.
The Iaboring people on the hacien-
das or farms are far worse off than
those of the cities. The average
wages there run from 10 cents and up
ward per day, but millions Of the
farm hands and their families are in a
state OF debt slavery, getting little
o than their clothing and food.
The laws T such that they dare
not leave their masters without pay
ing their debts, and as a result they
work along from hand to mouth, re-
ceiving a little spending money now
and then, and increasing their debts
whenever they have q wedding or fun
eral. The only way they can escape
Is by getting some one to assume
their debts, and this is sometimes done
by the n~eighbOring hacendadOs or
others who want WOrkmen and can
find none in the market. II is diff
ficult to get q peon away from his old
master, and this is especially so if he
has been fairly well treated.
How Money Talks in Mexico.
And still I find that money talks
quite as loudly here as on the other
side of the boundary. At least it did
so not long & for some Americans
who were opening a rubber pIanta-
ton in the tropical lOWlands, and were
hard UP for labor. They offered big
wages, but in vain. All the poems Of
