Washington, Jan. 13.-President
Wilson in his first talk to the news
Taper correspondents since his re-
turn to Washington said today that
trust legislation al this session was
imperative.
The country has been pondering
the trust problem for more than a
generation. he declared, and the time
for further backing and filling is
passed. While the published accounts
of Lis trust program bear a family
resemblance to the actually, he said
he would not disclose Ills plans in
detail until he read his message to
Congress next week.
The president intimated he did not
think it essential that his lpresiden-
tial primary proposal be enacted at
this session. He believes itnat the
preliminary steps toward obtaining
this legislation should be taken,
however so as to be ready for ac-
ton at some future time.
Senator Kern, majority reader and
c5airma:; OF the Committee on Elec-
tiohs, announced during the day
that the presidential preference pri-
mary bill will be pushed through at

corning developments in Mexico
and the future attitude of this coun-
try, President Wilson said there was
absolutely nothing new. He brought
Il out clearly that there was no con-
tcMplated change in the policy Of
this country. He poo-pooed the idea
that there was trade agreement be-

New York, Jan. 15.-Despite the
fact that harmony is the keynote Of
New Thought, local followers of that
movement are divided into two bit
t\er factions as result of the
troubles of Frank w. Sears and DR..
Julia s. Sears, heads of two different
New Thought Churches here. DIR,
Sears charges that her husband has
been living illegally with one OF the
members of his flock and threatens
divorce proceedings. Frank Sears
declares that in the eyes of God he
is free man and that for the last
three years, living under the laws of
harmony he has led sweet, pure
and holy life. While the walls Of her
office are laden with inscriptions
that urge all visitors to live in har-
mony with one another and to be at
peace with the world, DR.. Sears

before the subcommittee, which was
made up of five Williams supporters.
The central committee was con-
trolled by the Williams faction and
legal proxies offered by Brewster
were not seated. The committee also
adopted a resolution directing the
chairman, Brewster himself, and Sec
rotary 10 Nichol to issue the certifi-
cate Of nomination to Williams, in the
face of the fact that the rules gov
erning county elections directs the
county convention to issue certifi-
Gates of nomination.
Constable. Evan Parnell, who was
defeated by Deputy Sheriff c. c,
Green for reelection to the office of
constable of Vaugine township, with
drew his petition and Green was al
so declared the nominee. Mr.. Par
tionnell said that an investigation by
him, after he contested Green's elec-
Zion, revealed the fact that Green
had been honestly nominated and he
withdrew his contest. Green was
represented by Attorney r. Havis
Nixon.
Sheriff Brewster made no state
ment to the committee, but 1t is
known that his friends are urging
him to make the race as an indie
pendent candidate against Williams
at the general election in September.
/ 14 The Fight Is On.
Attorney T. Havis Nixon, after the
action of the committee last night
said
"None of the expense and trouble
that we have gone to was done with
any hope of having any effect on the
partisan committee to whom the con-
test was presented today, but was
done for the purpose of making q
record for the real fight that has just
begun. You will hear from us again
and often"
Sheriff Brewster said his fight will
be made under the party rules as
promulgated by the State Democratic
Central Committee. 'As under
stand it the certificate OF nomination
must be issued by the county conven-
ton and l propose to ask them to
review the records in this case.
