COL. HARVEY AND
PRESIDENT CONFER
Breach Opened in 1911 Is
Healed-POlitiCS and
War Discussed.
IFrom The Tribune BuresuI

Washington, Oct. 4.-The so-called
Nilson-Harvey episode of tho pre-con-
vention campaign OF President Wilson,
then Governor of New Jersey, was def
nitely laid away among the political
things of the past by this brief an
nouncement authorized by the White
House to-day:
Colonel George Harvey, at the in
vitation of the President, spent an
hour at the White House this after
noon discussing the general situation"
The Presidents invitation and the
subsequent announcement Of the fact
of the conference gave public notice OF
the healing of the breach created by
the statement made by Governor Will
son in December, 1911, that the support
of Colonel Harvey and his periodical.
"Harpers Weekly were injuring Gov
ernOr Wilson's chances for the Presl-
dency.
In December, 1911. Mr.. Harvey, who
was credited with bringing out Gov
ernor Wilson as the prospective candi-
date for the Democratic party, took
Governor Wilson's name from the head
of the editorial columns of "Harper's
Weekly" In explaining this action
Colonel Harvey said edtorially:
THE name OF Woodrow Wilson as
our candidate for President was taken
down from the head of these columns
in response TO a statement made 20 Us
directly by Governor Wilson. 70 the ef-
feet that our support was affecting his
candidacy injuriously."
The intimation was that Mr.. Harvey,
who enlisted financial support for the
cause Of which ne was the original adj
vocate, was much too close to Wall
Street for political comfort, and that
his activity was spreading the idea that
Governor Wilson was receiving support
from that quarter.
Colonel Harvey took his rebuff
quietly and publicly has said little con-
corning the episode. Colonel Henry
Wattersou, however. Who was present
when Governor Wilson suggested 10
Harvey that his help was doing him
more har mthan good. was less amiable
He issued several vitriOlic statements
i'm ono OF which he said that Governor
Wilson was rather a schoolmaster than
a statesman
Harvey praised the Presidents attitude
since the outbreak of war in Europe
and suggested that he wait patiently
for the psychological moment to urge
peace. He also advised the election OF
a Democratic House and Senate in No
vcmbcr.
Mr.. Harvey said he had called, at Mr.
Wilson's request. "to discuss public
questions, principally the European
situation, and that, as "a matter Of
course" the talk was friendly.
The White House meeting followed
conference between Mr.. Harvey, Mr.
Tumulty. the Presidents secretary;
Frederick Lynch. Democratic nationa
committeeman from Minnesota, ant
Thomas Peusc, OF the national com
mitree's publicity bureau. The tal
campaign was discussed.

The fourth year OF the operation Of
the Health Officers Department Of the
State Of New York under the present
law has been its most successful one.
1t ended September 30
Health Officer Joseph J. O'COnnell OF
the Port of New York has submitted
70 Governor Glynn a preliminary re-
port of the years work. lie says that
for the first time in many years the
department has prevented the admis-
sion to New York of single case Of
quarantinable disease.
The revenue collected was 1901 ,034 &c,
as opposed 70 an average of $4,000
for the three preceding years. The
net current cost to the state, which
excludes money spent for permanent
improvements. was $40, or cOnsid-
erabiy less than half Of the three-year
average.

Of the pathological corollaries of war

nell. "to conclude that this vast Strug-

"The concentration of the thought
and power OF civilized governments
upon destructive measures, weakening
the sanitary services, on the one hand,
and the conditions Of war favoring the
spread Of disease, on the other hand,
bring Us face 70 face with a situation
extremely grave. Unfortunately, these
conditions are reinforced by the malign
consequences Of the recent Balkan war,
which left Eastern Europe cholera
stricken.
European nations are already tax

measures against all Austrian and east

Victim" of Explosion Feared
Death List Would Hold

Fearing that belief in his death
might prejudice his claim for wages,
Michael Kinner. who was reported
killed in the explosion in the Detwlller
q Street fireworks factory in Jersey
CITY on Saturday morning, went around
TO the office OF the company late on
Saturday night and drew his pay. 1t

he had been blown 20 pieces, an error
that Kinner was some time correcting.
His escape reduces the death list 10

The explosion has changed the voca-

u. s. MAY ADOPT
ARMORED MOTORS
Bill to Equip Will Be In
trOduced at the Next
Session.
Iron Tho Tribune BUREAU

Washington, Oct. 4.-To enable the
United States 70 profit by the example
Of the European war, Representative
Daniel r. Anthony, jr., of Kansas,
member of the House Committee on
Military Affairs, will introduce in the
House at the next session bill 10
have the United States army adopt
and purchase armored automobiles as
n regular arm of the military service.
Several other members of the House
Committee on Military Affairs have
kept a close watch on the war Ell
cheney Of armored cars as described
in the European dispatches.
Mr.. Anthony, who is particularly in
terested in the subject, said to-day.
ITO my mind, there can be no doubt
that any up-to-date army must be
equipped with srmored automobiles
The things that have been accom-
plished through their use By both the
Germans and the Allies have demon
strated that, as engines Of modern
warfare, they are indispensable. This
is strikingly 30 in connection with ali
cavalry movements. Nobody can ques-
ton the advantage OF having last
moving vehicles which can carry iight-
ing men and keep them impregnable to
Ilne IRE.
II understand that one Of the argu-
ments against the use Of these cars
in the United States Is that our ter
rain, the lay Of the land is not suit
able for their use. This. it seems 70
me, is an untenable objection. The
country over the terrain of the United
States does offer moro obstacles than
that of Europe, because the present
hattlefields Of Europe are a network
Of improved highways. But there are
MANY areas where hostilities might
take place in this country that are
exactly suited 10 the use Of the auto
mobile. For instance, the improve
ments in road construction through
New York and New England have so
progressed that the heaviest motor
vehicle now has unobstructed progress
ALI over that country"

Tells Of Experiences at Outbreak Of
War.

Mrs. G. B. Conger is in receipt of q
letter from her son, S. Beach Conger,
representative of the Associated Press
in Berlin, in which he tells in detail of
being taken into custody as spy at the
outbreak of the war. In his letter Mr..
Conger says that regular mania for
srresting suspects seized the German
police at the time war was declared,
and that although he had letters from
high German officials telling who he
was, the police insisted that he be held
until given notice to release him. He
was treated in a courteous manner
otherwise, he says.
In the letter Mr. Conger declares mo.
bilization of the German troops went
on like clock work. and that there was
not hitch from the time war was de-.
clared until the tremendous army was
under arms and off for the front. The
Germans are confident of winning, MIR.
