Report of Judges.

The Judges report was as follows.
The undersigned have carefully exam
lu,d the printed volumes OF evidence sub
mitted to them for their consideration
relative to the charges OF misconduct
which have been made against william
X. George, growing out OF his relation
with the George Junior Republic al Free
ville y. Y
There are three specific charges which
have been particularly inquired into.
Without simplifying them 1t is sufficient
to designate them AS, first. the Whtmore
charge; second, the Temple charge. and
third, the Klemm charge
The undersigned fnd that the Whit
more charge has not been proved and that
tina evidence offered In support OF that
charge Is unworthy of credence.
As TO the second and third charges,
which Mr.. George has practically ad-
mitted. We find that he Is guilty OF what
we regard as wilful misconduct In both
cases. His action In each case was do
liberate and in the highest degree inn
proper hut We find that in each case this
misconduct was without criminal intent
or any purpose or desire to injuro or
abus- the parties mentioned.
1T was in our judgment IN each case
In pursuance Of his theory, which we
cannot too strongly condemn, that being
tho head Of the republic at Freevlle he
could treat and handle the grown women
oHloiE Nlt ClllS'rS tNtrt ike children,
and according to his within and caprice
ard without regard to the rules and
ussees OF common life and civilized 80
ciety."

Silas W. Rowland. law partner OF
Emory Buckner, counsel for the National
Association OF Junior Republics, said last
night that he interpreted the findings as
meaning that although they characterize
the act as improper and deliberate, they
believed that Mr.. Georges motives were
an right.
Mr.. Rowland was OF the opinion the
Judges were convinced by tho testimony
in the Klemm case that the alleged Inn
proper proposal made by MIR. George to
the girl was for the purpose merely OF
testing her"
Mr., Rowland said that Mr.. George has
not been forced out, superseded or laid
on the shelf, but has gone on with his

LAMAR CASE AGAINST
STEEL COMPANY WEAK
|. E. Commission Finds 1.-The
Wolf" Behind Nebraska
Mans Accusations.

WASH NGroN, March 3-The bottom ap-
peared to drop out OF the charges made
by W. H. Green OF Creighton. Neb and
David Lamar. the wolf Of Wall street"
before the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion to-day that the United States steel
Corporation was in receipt OF rebates from
receivers
The Senate directed n preliminary in
yestlgation OF Green's charges and Com
missioner Harlan made 1t plain to-day that
the commission intended 10 probe the
whole matter to the bottom. but that II
wanted something d finite or tangible TO
proceed upon.
Mr., Green said on the witness stand
that he had made no outside Investigations
except reading reports OF the Bureau Of
Corporations and other Governmental
bureaus. and that he had also listened
to Louis II. y andes lie had also oh
tanned information from two persons, but
he DID not think he should be obliged to
disclose their names.
II. j. Schult.is OF the Antitrust
League. who is counsel in the case. tried
to assist Mr.. Green at this point but
only seemed TO confuse the witness. who
nnally admitted that his charges
amounted to no more than a hypothesis.
Questioned by Mr.. Harlan he reluc-
family admitted that one OF the persons
who had given him information was David
Lamar and that the other was Henry
l.. Davis OF Washington. to whom Mr..
Green had gone for legal advice.
When Green was finally excused. looking
like a man Just out of the steam room
OF "A Turkish bath, Lamar arose and
started to make "A speech, but Comm -
sioner Harlan summoned him to the
stand. and Lamar delivered n history OF
the origin of the United States Steel Cor
poration and it's acquisition OF in
dustrial railroad lines. lie stated that
he was confident. II he had power OF
subpoena AZ the commission has, he could
substantiate the charge that the United
States Steel Corporation was receiving
rebates
He then went into the alleged history
OF the late j J.. Morgans consulting him.
II testified To these facts before the
Stanley commission, and they were de-
MED by MIR, Morgan. and he said that
was mere 'yermin," added Lamar.
At this point Commissioner Harlan said
1t would not be advisable to go into
matters of history, and adjourned the
hearing until tomorrow.
Mr. Shulteis asked To have summoned
ns witnesses George W Perkins, William
r.. Corey, Senator Oliver and others. Com
missioner Harlan intmated that no ac-
ton would be taken upon this request
ut present.

SENATE TILT ON SUFFRAGE.
CIapp FHvors Anne nd ment, but Borah
Criticises IL.

WAsHiSoToN. March 3.-Fricnds of tho
resolution proposing IA constitutional
amendment for woman suffrage admitted
In the debate In tho Senate to-day that
the measure would probably not command
the necessary two-thirds vote 20 pass
Senator Clapp. one OF the most ardent
advocates Of equal suffrage, expressed this
opinion, but urged the women to keep UP
the hght, assuring them OF ultimate VIC
tory.
Senator Clapp was severe on the women
who oppose suffrage. He deplored the
fact that In opposing suffrage they were
making common cause with tho sinister
influences that are undermining society"
Senator Borah asked Mr., Clapp II the
amendment would enfranchise the negro
women OF the South.
Senator Clapp replied that he could not
tell.
Senator Bryan and Senator Williams
closed the debate on the subject by OPP
posing woman suffrage and incidentally
defending the laws Of the Southern States
limiting suffrage
The point made by Senator Borah that
the proposed amendment would confer
suffrage on the negro women OF the South
has undoubtedly weakened the prospects
for passing the resolution. The Southern
Senators are practically hostile

WHAT WILSON HAS
ACHIEVED IN A YEAR

Here is a record Of the principal
events and achievements of the VIII
son Administrat on's first year:
Enactment Of q tariff bill making
radical reductions in duties.
Passage Of an income tax law.
Enactment Of Q bill creating a new
currency system for the country, a re-
form that had been urged upon Con-
gress of and on for many years.
The granting Of modified self
government to the Philippines.
The extension Of the parcel post
system and reducing rates.
The increase Of educational oppor-
tunities for enlisted men in the navy.
The compelling Of steel manufac-
turers to compete In bidding for navy
contracts.
New policy Of the Government

which deeply stirred the sssiinss u ths
That 10 why Mr.. wilson's srisnds have
until recently been predicting that the
Mexican situation would not Affect tho
popularity Of tho President
Within the last week or 30. though. there
have been Indications that the country
has begun TO show real impaticnce over
tho humiliAuons heaped upon II by
HueftA and the Constitutionali1ts and
that the working out Of ths Mexican prob.
lem will have q more important eject
on the future Of the Administration than
has been expected.
The Brighter side.
Even the Presidents friends acknowl.
edge that in the matter Of foreign anairs
there are only one or two features that
really have reflected credit on the Admin.
istraton. These are the reversal OF the
attitude OF this Government toward the
Panama Canal tolls controversy and the
efforts Of Secretary Bryan TO promuleate
his peace treaty ideas.
The handling OF the Mexican situa-
ton. except In 90 far as the President
has shown evidence Of great patience and
forbearance. has admittedly been bungled
almost from the start.
The Administrators reputation Of
dollar diplof ,acy'' in the Ear East has
greatly initiated against American busi.
ness enterprise and brought no tangible
benefits In return. and the Presidents
announced policy Is generally regarded
through actual events as already having
proved itself unavoidable.
The recogntions OF President Benavides
in Peru and President Zamor In Hayti arc
regarded rs an acknowledgment by the
Administration OF It's inability to put into
actual practice the Presidents Ideas OF
Encouraging revolutionary attempts In
South and Central American countries.
Besides these features the handling OF
the controversy with Japan over the Cali
fornia alien land law and the passage OF
tho arbitration treaties by the senate are
the only matters OF Importance IN our
foreign relations OF the last year

point of view has been made public

virtually annihilated. Russian
troops nave passed the river San.
The eastern Russian advance guard
is approaching Prcemsyl.
The rapidity with which military
operations are being conducted mas
made it impossible to estimate accu-

may be said that they are becoming
colossal.

having made the following state

1T is desperate shame that the

don the decent people of Mexico
when they most need help. l do not
know the reason for this, but 1t
would seem that President Wilson
mas been misinformed in some mat
tcrs and that If another side of the
situation has been brought to his at
tcntion he has not seen fit to listen
to anything that contradicts those
who have told him that the country
has been pacified.
"Thc people who did not get pro-
lection in Mexico City and else
where went to Vera Cruz for protec-
ton. What will they do now? They
have no means Of getting away and
will be left TO the mercy of the law
less element that will Immediately
ovcrrun the town and country.
