By the Ex-Committeeman

Unless President Wilson with
draws the nomination of Ben l.. Davis,
of Lancaster. "ad interim" appointee
as Collector of the Ninth Internal
Revenue District, who is accused of
having solicited campaign funds from
Federal officeholders prior to the No
vember election, it is highly probable
that United States Senator Boies Pen
rose will oppose his confirmation in
the Senate. This was intimated by
persons close to the Senator. Tho
Senator himself said he would con-
slider what had best be done in the
matter when the facts are officially
laid before him at the convening of
the Senate. Senator Penrose said he
knew nothing officially of the matter,
but expressed his determination to
look into it. Meanwhile, Stanley w.
Root, secretary of the Pennsylvania
Civil Service Reform Association, in
g. formal statement declared that If
the charges preferred against Mr..
Davis were true it was perfectly clear
that he has not only violated the civil
service law, but Federal statutes as
well.

District Attorney r. II. Jackson,
of Allegheny county, who is pushing
a vigorous investigation into the cleo
ton frauds in the September prim-
aries, made known the fact that he
had been threatened with political an
Inhalation and bodily harm unless he
desisted in his efforts to bring the
guilty parties to justice. Said Mr..
Jackson to-day: II have been warn
ed that / am making a mistake in in
vestigating the election frauds. L
have been threatened with dire
things politically, and even bodily
harm. l will, however, proceed along
the lines originally announced by the
district attorneys Office"
Mayor-elect Smith called on Mayor
Blankenburg of Philadelphia yester-
day and received a cordial greeting.
Later Mr.. Smith made known his first
appointment under his administration.
II have been asked to retain Walter
Webb. and / have assured him that
he will be retained" said the Mayor
elect. Webb is a colored messenger,
who has been in the Mayors office for
years, and is widely known among
politicians. Mr.. Smith said he would
have no use for a body guard and that
Patrolman Quirk, who acts in the
capacity for Mr.. Blankenburg. and
was one of the Liberty Bell escort to
the coast, would be sent back to street
duty or made detective. Mr.. Smith
after numerous interviews with promi-
ment men gave no further intimations
as to his prospective cabinet appoint
ments. In fact, after a day of confer
ences there was but one apparently
positive selection and that was DR..
Wilmer Krusen for the Directorship of
Public Health and Charities to succeed
DIR. Walter Ziegler. Recorder of Deeds
Ernest l.. Tustin, who has been sug-
gested for both Director of Public
Safety and Supplies, was evidently a
storm center. His proposed selection
for one of these positions was vigor-
ously attacked from the Ware camp.
He has been regarded as a Penrose
favorite. AS soon as the Mayor-elect
made statement that he had Mr..
TuStin lin mind for O. place in his
cabinet, the Ware batteries were di-
rected against the retiring Recorder of
Deeds and Mr.. Smith quickly learned
of their hostility to his suggested
nomination. Mr.. Tustin withdrew from
the contest for Recorder of Deeds at
the instance of Senator Penrose in
order that there might be no opposi-
ton to the nomination of James NJ.
HaZlett, Ware adherent, who was
finally nominated for that office. The
Wares were opposed to Mr.. Tustin for
second term, and they object to his
being given even a better and more
potential place than he had. Messrs.
Smith and Tustin had a talk yesterday
but it is believed the issue is still an
open one.

BY HERBERT QUICK.

August Won der Helde of De-
troit died last year, leaving q
will In which he bequeathed
&35, 900 to the use OF Jesus
Christ when he shall again APP
pear on earth.
The Won der Heide heirs are
contesting the will. II the press
dispatches are accurate, on the
ground that the deceased was not
Of sound mind, or he could not
have made SO extraordinary q
will.
A great many people believe
that Christ will one Of these days
appear and walk the earth as OF
old.
II he comes as of old, he will
be poor. Won der Heide. who
had saved the $4,000 in a long
and frugal life. in which he
worked as cobbler, considered
that the money was evidence that
he had been q good and faithful
servant Of the Lord, and that II
was really a trust fund. II Jesus
was to come to earth again poor
man. he would certainly need
money. Where Is the evidence
of insanity?

II. R. Calls His
Foe "Bad Boss
Continued From Page One. }
Barnes sat unmoved.


Sometimes the two men faced
each other, but neither batted an
eye.
In a letter, read by the colonel.
Barnes declared: !.
1.-THE idea of getting rid Of
bosses is absurd SO long as we
have party organization"
Believed In Barrel.
On the stand yesterday Col,
Roosevelt testified that he had
had many conversations with
Barnes, in which the latter's
views on government had been
fully expressed.
Barnes told me often" he tes
titled, that there could be no
party government without money
and friendliness on the part Of
large business concerns, because
unless they were protected, they
would refuse to make campaign
contributions to the party failing
to protect them.
Without such contributors,
Barnes said, it was impossible to
carry on the organization; with
out leaders, without bosses--Mr.
Barnes specifically used the word
bosses-and party government.
therefore was impossible. And
used this phrase:
The people are not fit to
govern themselves. They have
got to be governed by the party
organization and you cannot run
an organization unless you have
plenty of money"
Against Franchise Tax.
Roosevelt said this sentiment
was repeated to him by Barnes on
at least half dozen occasions.
He told particularly, too, how
Barnes had advocated the defeat
of the franchise tax bill, while
Roosevelt was governor, and the
retention Of Louis #. Payn, as in
surance momissioner, because he
stood in the good graces of big
insurance firms. Both these re-.
quests wer made, so Roosevelt
said. with the idea that they were
necessary to the party organiza-
ton.
After Roosevelt left the stand,
the manager Of the big printing
plant which Barnes owns at AL
bany was summoned. He was
expected to testify as to the large
amount Of state printing done by
this firm. BY agreement, he
was excused from the stand until
today.

Such q man would not live In

He would not hold wealth needed

whose heart was a pity SO vast,
SO all-embracing that none was
left out Of Its infinite circle. He
could not have kept Mr.. Won der
Heide's money. He came to
preach the gospel OF good tidings
to the poor.
And yet, i don't believe Mr..
Won der Heide was insane. He
believed that Jesus is coming
back to earth, and he wished to
give his all to the Lord. In be-
lieving that money could do-Him
any good, Mr.. Won der Heide was
acting ON the policy of the aver
age Christianity of this material

that so-called Christians are rich

To bear out the statement that

as result of DR.. Garratt's action

He said that milk had been
