PRESIDENT WILSON HAS BEEN
IN THE WHITE HOUSE
FOR ONE YEAR.
DEPARTMENTS IN HARMONY
During the Year President Wilson
Has Broken Many Precedents-His
Ways Are Quite Informal When
Compared to Other Presidents.

Washington, March 4.-The Demo.
cratic administration was one year
old today. Twelve months ago at noon
Woodrow Wilson took the oath of Of
flee, ushering Democracy into control
of the national government for the
first time in 20 years.
At the White House in the corri-
doris of the capitol the date served to
recall the work Of a busy year The
presidents friends pointed to the tar
If, the currency law and the ratifi-
cation of arbitration treaties as a di-
rect result of close cooperation be-
tween the executive and legislative
departments. Five times has the
president appeared before congress,
delivering messages on the tariff, cur
rency, Mexican affairs, the annual re-
port on the state of the Union" and
trust legislation.
Much interest was apparent today
in the sixth message. This, accord
ing to an announcement made last
night, will be delivered tomorrow in
advocacy of the repeal of the Pana-
ma canal tolls exemption.
Administration leaders today said
that the harmony which the legisla-
tive and executive branches of the gov
ernment have worked fer the past
year was largely due to the presi-
dents personal appearance before
congress and his open discussion of
all legislative topics with members
of all parties.
During his year in the White House
President Wilson has broken many
precedents. His ways are quite in
formal as compared to other presi.
dents with which Washington of today
is familiar. He attracts the minimum
of attention when moving about the
city. His occupancy of the White
House has also been peculiar in the
very small number of speaking en-
gagements he has filled.

MUCH INTEREST
IN LOCAL CASE
GEORGIA AFTERNOON PAPERS
ALL WANTED FULL DAVIS
STORY AND GOT 1T.

That the outside world has closely
watched the progress of the Davis
case in Brunswick, sensational devel-
opments in which have occurred dur
ing the last few days, is best evidenc-
ed by the large number of kilograms
received by local correspondents in
Brunswick yesterday and Tuesday
The Associated Press, as is usually
the case, sent the news out from New
Orleans early Tuesday morning, and
at r2ol wired to the local correspond
tnt 4or Brunswick end to the story
This was wired and Tuesday after
noon every Associated Press paper
in the United States carried a full
story, both about the confession of
~. R. Davis and the circumstances
surrounding the murder In Georgia
the story was given much prominence
These papers, on Tuesday afternoon
carried the full story with large head
lines: Savannah Press, Macon News,
Columbus Ledger and several others;
in fact the story was sent out over
the wires from Brunswick before noon
Tuesday.
Sheriff Berrie, who had endeavored
to keep the story quiet until he could
ascertain whether or not the right
man was being held in New Orleans,
was somewhat surprised when he was
shown by a News representative a
half dozen kilograms from papers all
over the country asking for local
end to the story.
The sheriff, however, succeeded in
keeping the facts quiet for a time. He
told the county commissioners about
it and one Of them, late in the after
noon, told about it.
Besides, all Georgia afternoon pa
pers of any size which carried the
Associated Press story Tuesday aft
ernoon, and in their first editions at
that, all ot the big state papers yester-
day played the story up with special
articles from New Orleans and Bruins
wick.

MANS CONDITION
IS VERY SERIOUS
SHERIFF AFTER ARRIVAL THERE,
MAY DECIDE NOT TO BRING
HIM HERE.
PHYSICIAN TALKS OF CASE
Says He Is Dying of Consumption ana
that His Death Seems to Be a Mat
ter of Only Few Weeks a. the
Best.

Sheriff w. H. Berrie, accompanied
by c. L. Brady, who resides near
Thalmann, and who knows A. R. .Da-
Wis personally, left last night over
the Southern railway for New Orleans
where Brady will identify the man,
end, if he is in position to travel, the
sheriff will return to the city with
him Immediately. While it is posi-
lively the right man being held, ard
as his confession is col 3idered ganu-
inc, the sheriff decided TO take along
Brady in order that he may testify
when Davis is arraigned or murde.',
If he lives to face a trial
The sheriff stated to a reporter for
The News last night before his depar-
ture that he would not realA a deci.
sion as to what he will do un il he ar
riVes in New Orleans. In tie event
Davis is aDle to travel, why, he will be
returned to Brunswick at one.
His Condition Serious.
DR.. c. T. Durel, of New Or cans,
who is in charge of the ward in V5d,cl
Davis is confined, announced We ter
day that the man was in a precar4. II
condition and he stated that he doubt
ed seriously if Davis was able to make
the long trip back to Brunswick He
has been in the hospital for two
months and, as stated in The News
yesterday is in the last stages of con
sumption.
If Davis is, brought to Brunswick it
is hardly probable that he will ever
face trial. The man is ina very Sc
rious condition. Death from consump-
ton is but a few weeks off, the New
Orleans physician is reported to have
said. If that is the case then Sheriff
Berrie may decide to leave the man
in the New Orleans hospital.
Davis confession, published in an
other column, completely vindicates
his brother, V. H. Davis. He states
that the murder was committed with
the butt end Of a revolver. He claims
that he and Mrs. Davis were walking
along the railroad tracks, but never
explained how the body was removed
to distance of about 80 feet away,
and although he went into the case,
he has not yet stated why the murder
was committed.
The confession was made to Senior
Police Captain John p Boyle, who lat
er called in others VINO also heard
the confession of the man.
No steps whatever will be taken
regarding the case against V. H. Davis
until the condition of his brother is
known or until he is brought here.
While the confession, of course, gives
him a new lease on liberty, still he
is not yet free man and may spend
many more days in the Glynn county

thinking that her mother was address

exit from her home on finding that a
