Progressives Opposed
to Wilson's Repeal Plan
By Associated Press

Washington, ID. c., March 20. -
Representative Victor Murdock, of
Kansas, leader of the Progressives in
the House, in a statement Issued to-
day announced that Progressives In
Congress are substantially a unit
against President Wilson's plan of re-
pealing the exemption of coastwise
shipping from Panama canal tolls.
"The Progressives in Congress-" de-
clared Mr.. Murdock, ARE substan-
TALLY unit against the proposition
to repeal the toll exemption clause
in the Panama Canal act. Both Dem
ocrats and Republicans are hopelessly
divided. A little over one year ago
all three parties covenanted with the
people to exempt coastwise traffic.
To-day the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis as parties are breaking their
pledge. The Progressive party, free
from the influence of sectional or
selfish interest, but aetuated by prin-
ciple and united by mutual convic-
tion. is standing by the contract 1t
made with the people.

FRIEDMAN CHARGES
CHIEF CLERK WITH
INSTRUMENTATION
Suspended Superintendent Of Car
Isle School Hopes to Clear
Himself Of Charges
Special to The Telegraph

Carlisle. March 20.-With the arrest
this morning of S. J. Norl, chief clerk
at the Carlisle Indian school for the
last seven years, on charges of en-
bezzlement, M. Friedman, who was
recently suspended as superintendent
of the school hopes to clear himself
Of the charges which brought about
his suspension.
Nori was arrested and held in de-
fault of $1,000 bail for court on tnfor-
nation made by Mr.. Friedman that
nearly $1,000 belonging to students at
the Indian school has disappeared
during the past two years. Nori is
accused of misappropriating money
deposited with the superintendent for
safe keeping, and destroying vouchers
and receipts to cover up his transac-
tions
In a statement issued by ]. w. Wet
eel, counsel for Mr.. Friedman, the
statement is made that sufficient evi-
dence has been secured to sustain the
charges against Nori and at the same
time clear Mr.. Friedman of some of
the charges on which he was sus-
pended several weeks ago.
Although j. III. Linnen, the investi-
gator for the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs who made the investigation
which resulted In Friedmans suspen-
sion is in Carlisle, Friedman is said
to have secured the evidence he says
he has against Nori without the as
sistance of the Washington man.

SIR EDWARD CARSON
GIVEN OVATION AS
HE ENTERS BELFAST
Unionists Move Their Stores and
Documents Fearing Raid
by Police
EXTRA GUARDS AT BARRACKS
Sir Edward Will Consult Command
ers of Ulster Volunteer
/ Forces
BY Associated Pyess

Belfast March 20.-Sir Edward Car
son, the leader of the Unionists of
Ulster. made a dramatic entry into the
capital of the province to-day. His
purpose in coming here is to consult
with the other Ulster Unionist leaders
and with the commanders Of the
Ulster volunteer forces.
The great activity displayed at
Unionist headquarters and in the army
barracks have caused considerable ex-
citement among the people of Belfast,
who for days past have been momen-
tarily expecting some decisive move on
the part of the Unionist chiefs or the
government.
Before landing this morning Sir EG-
ward Carson received on board the
steamer on which he had made the
passage from England Sir George
Richardson. retired lieutenant-gen-
eral of the British army. who Is COM
mander-in-chie OF the Ulster Unionist
forces, together with his chief officers.
Noisy Welcome
AS the party came down the gang
way from the steamer to the pier they
found drawn up as a guard of honor
the emergency force of picked men in
the Ulster volunteers, who had been
summoned to the Unionist headquar-
ters at a late hour last night. A biz
crowd gave them a noisy welcome,
cheering wildly and firing salvos into
the air from their revolvers.
During the night automobiles had
been kept busy moving stores and
documents from the Unionist head
quarters, apparently fearing q raid by
the police, who have been keeping
close watch on every move made by
the Unionists.
Precautions OF rigorous character
have been taken at the Victoria mill
tary barracks here. Extra guards are
on duty day and night. Urgent in
structions have been sent to the mill
tary authorities in the south of ireland
to dispatch reinforcements immedi-
ately to the garrison stations in Ulster.
