President Wilson plants to devote
the next few days exclusively to re-
creation. Business will be ignored.

took walk, His only interruption

caddied for him. Resting and touring
the surrounding country in big auto
occupied his time later in the day.
Grayson urged the president to
sleep at least eleven hours out of

The president is evidently touched
by the respect the villagers have for
his privacy. Every white resident
here seems to have constituted him
self a volunteer guardian of the sa-

THE LAW IN FRANCE.

PARIS, Dec. 26.-Because, under
the French law, it is no crime to en-
pIoy persons to commit murder un-
less they actually accomplish it, or
in other words, deliver the goods,
Professor Etienne Rouquette, of
Stanilas college, Calamart. today was
set at liberty. A few days ago he
accosted couple of young men from
the country, named billiard and Ga
velle, in Paris cafe, and besought
their help in getting rid of his moth
er-in-law. They accepted the job,
and the professor paid them $50 on
the account.
First of all, the two countrymen
spent the money in riotous living,
then, they went to the police and told
their story. When Rouquette was ar
raigned he denied the story, and lat
err not only admitted the truth, but
said he had instructed the young men
to break up the furniture and steal
any valuables they might want, in
order to give the impression that the
crime was committed for burglary
alone. In spite of this confession,
Prof. Rouquette got off on the plea
of his attorneys that this act consti-
tuted no crime in France. 1t was not
until today, however, that higher
court handed down a formal decision
favoring the arguments Of the de-
fendant's lawyers.

BIG BUSINESS RESULT FROM
NEW LAW SAYS UNTERMYER

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-A new and
healthful impetus to business will re
suit from the enactment of the cur
rency bill, in the opinion Of Samuel
Untermyer who conducted the con-
gressonal investigation of the money
trust and has been in close touch
with the trainers of the new currency
law throughout its consideration in
congress. In an interview with the
United Press today, Untermyer said;
"As a consistent champion from
the beginning of the fundamental
principle X. a government currency
controlled absolutely by the govern
ment, regard the enactment of tho
currency bill as great triumph for
mark in our economic history and
signalizes a new era in our financial
development. 1t is the entering wedge
Of body Of laws that is to decen-
tralize the concentration Of the con-
troll of credit in the hands Of few
men. Its virtue as an antitrust
measure is quite as important as the
advance it marks in the field of fl
nancial reform.
"The bill contains many admirable
features that have not been suffi-
ciently recognized. Among them may
be mentioned the establishment Of q
national clearing house for the col
lection of checks. II fearlessly ad-
ministered without regard to the sell
fish interests of the banks, this in
novation alone should lift from the
commerce of the country an annual
burden of s5O,0O0,O0O 1t will also
relieve the small banks in the great
cities from the intolerable despotism
and espionage Of the great banks
that are the controlling spirits Of the
clearing house associations.
"The result that is accomplished
demonstrates once more the great
value Of full public discussion Of our
economic problems. We are once
more reminded that the people are
quick to understand ard interest
themselves in the most abstruse and
technical subjects and that they may
be relied upon to unmask dishonest
arguments actuated by selfish inter
ests.
1--WE are at the end Of the period
in our history when the resources of
our country will be driven by defect.
i've laws into the maelstrom CT Wall
street speculation and into the con-
troll of the few men who dominate the
Wall street banks and at the very
time when these resources are most
needed to conduct legitimate business
in the sections from which they are
drawn.
"No legitimate industry need long
er fear the lack of accommodations to
which 1t il entitled or trembls It the
prospect Of tight money In crop NOV
