BY OWN BROTHER

of Triple Killing Was When
He Read of 1t.

Springfield. ILL.,, Feb. John
Henry, son of wealthy Morgan coun-
ty man and slayer of three persons,
Saturday was turned over by his
brother. Jesse, to Sheriff Rogers of
Morgan at the Henry home in Wood
son, and was locked up in the county
jail at Jacksonville. The arrest fol-
flowed Henry's return to his home,
when he was forced to take shelter
from a binding storm Friday night.
Henry's defense. according to pres
ent plans, will be temporary insanity.
He is accused of numbering Charles
Ezard, who tried to act as peacemaker
when Henry attempted to shoot his
wife; Everett Grain, a constable, and
Grains 3-year-old son.
Henry declares that the first he real
lied that he had committed the crime
was when he read an account of it in
a st. Louis newspaper. He says he
read the story three times before he
its meaning. and that he has
no further knowledge of the events of
night.
The prisoner will be given a prelimi-
nary hearing and held to await the ac-
ton of the next grand Jury.

Timid kbout Acting or
Wilson's Invitations for
Suggestions on Laws.
CRITICISM is SOUGHT
President Anxious for FranH
Opinions Concerning Pending
Trust Legislation.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-Prest
dent Wilson is surprised at the lack
of responses from the business men
to his invitation for suggestions on
pending trust legislation and that so
few have accepted the invitation to
appear at the congressional hearings.
The president does not know whether
the business men approve the tenta-
tive measures as drawn. or whether
they have not yet taken notice of the
hearings.
When it was suggested to the presi
dent that business men might fear be-
ing branded lobbyists" if they came to
Washington in that connection, Wilson
laughingly remarked no one could be
regarded as a lobbyist who accepted
the invitation.
For immigration Restrictions.
President Wilson regards it as uni
versally agreed that there should be
some restrictions to prevent what is
known as assisted immigration" but
he has not yet announced his position
on the literacy test feature in bills
pending and indicated he would not
do so until he has consulted the lead
ers in congress. The senate commit
tee has been giving audiences to many
interested in that phase of immigra-
ton legislation and there is said to be
some ground for a belief that he may
suggest certain notifications in the
literacy test, as now proposed.
Secretary of Labor Wilson inform
ed congress today he is not opposed to
the principle of a literacy test. He
recommended making immigration
bills more drastic in several particu-
lars, particularly on white slavery
and that skilled laborers imported un-
der contract, as well as unskilled la
borers, be barred.
The Burnett immigration bill pres
cribing a literacy test was brought for
ward again in the house motion by
Sabbath Of Illinois to eliminate the
proposed test was the immediate busi-
ness under consideration.
The senate requested the interstate
commerce commission to investigate
charges that rebates were received
from railroads by the United States
steel corporation.
Not in Primary Contests.
Reports from Indiana and Illinois
that the president is backing the SEN
atoriaI candidacy of Thomas Taggart
and Roger Sullivan met with the
declaration from Wilson that he had
not interfered in any primary contests
and did not intend TO do so.
Former Senator Blackburn of Ken
lucky today was appointed a member
of the Lincoln Memorial commission
to succeed the late Shelby NJ. Cullom
of Illinois.

Women Journey to Washington
From Ten States to Urge
House Committee.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2.-Three
hundred women workers from ten east
ern states. led by Miss Marguerite
Hinchey. a laundry worker, OF New
York, and Rose winslow, a Pennsylvania
weaver, intent on enlisting the sup
port of the president for votes for
women. were received at the White
house today. The speakers appealed
to President Wilson to lend his infiu-
ence to the effort to establish house
committee on suffrage. The presi-
dents attitude toward the petition OF
the women is already known. Two
months ago he told officers of the Ma
sociation he was personally in favor
of the creation of a house suffrage
committee, but held he could not urge
legislation upon congress that had not
been the subject of Organic party con-
siderltion."
Given No encouragement.
The three hundred women marched
on the White house with brass bands
and flying colors but were given no
encouragement by the president.
Twenty-Five of the women were receiv-
ed by the president and five in short
addresses presented their arguments.
The president reiterated as leader of
the democratic party that he was linn
tied only to recommending things on
which the party had made up its mind.
The pleas OF the working women were
phFased=eloaRRatly and with a touch
Of pathos and emotion as they describ-
ed the hardships OF women workers.
When the president expressed a
wish to meet the women waiting out
side. Mrs. Glendover Evans of Boston,
the first speaker, remarked:
But they told us we couldn't all
come in
All Invited In.
There must be a misunderstand-
ng." said the president, as he sent
word out that he would like to have
he delegation come in. The women
;ame in single file, passing in one door
md out another. Some declined to
ihake hands with the president, march !
ng indifferently by and refusing the I
'roffered hand.
The delegation left the White house J
n groups. some pleased and others I
and some even saying !
hey were angry.
A caucus of house democrats on
reating a standing committee on wom-
n suffrage has been called for to-
morrow night.
