WILSON COMES To
WARBURC DEFENSE
President Declares He Will
Urge Bank to Reconsider His
Withdrawal From Federal
Reserve Board.

WASHINGTON, July s.--Pres. Will
son came to the defense Of Paul NJ.
Warburg today in a vigorous state
ment in which he outlined his atti-
tude toward the business of the coun-
try. The president declared that he
earnestly hopes that Mr.. Warburg will
reconsider his decision to withdraw
from the federal reserve board and
that he is now urging him TO do So
He expressed confidence that the
nomination of Thomas ID. Jones will
be confirmed by the senate. His
statement is part follows:
1T would be unfair to the demo-
cratic party and to the senate itself
to regard il as an enemy Of business,
not regard a man as an object of sus-
piciOn merely because he has been
connected with great business enter
prises. 1t knows that the business of
the country has been chiefly promoted
in recent years by enterprise organ
lied on a great scale and that the
vast majority Of men connected with
what we have come to call big bust
ness are honest. incorruptible and pa
triotic The country may be certain
that II is clear to members of the
senate as it is clear to all thoughtful
men that those who have tried to
make big business what it ought to be
are the men who are to be encour-
aged and honored whenever they re-
spond without reserve TO the call of
Dublic service"

TO GET PROPERTY BACK

Charging fraudulent representation
Albertina Keck filed suit in the cir
cult court Wednesday asking that a
deed made out on June 16 to Cyrus
Walter and Stewart Penrod for a
piece Of property be set aside. She
charges that Walter misrepreSented
the value of certain property which
she accepted in exchange and that he
stated that he had paid $3.50 on a
land contract on the property which
was not true. According to the COM
plant the deed was made out on the
evening of June 16 with the under
standing that it be retained by the
notary public until the plaintiff had
taken the papers to an attorney for
examination. She claims that this
was not done and that when she de-
manded the return of the deed the
following day Walter refused to give
them back, but instead he had them
recorded.

100 Years Ago Today

n ONE hundred years ago today
Ferdinand VII. restored the In
QUESTION in Spain The Inqui-
sition was designed TO punish heresy
and spiritual offences and had been
established for centuries in various
countries OF Europe. IN Spain the SEN
fences OF the inquisitorial courts were
carried out with untold cruelties, the
burning of victims at the stake being
one OF the cOmmonest forms Of pun
ishment. One Of NapoleOn's first acts
after he had conquered Spain was to
abolish Inquisition- After its restora-
ton by Ferdinand VII II continued to
exist but six years, being finally abol-
ished by the Cortes in 1920 Historians
have reckoned that more than 10000
persons were put 10 death and nearly
800. 900 otherwise punished during the
