Secretary Of the Interior he made
Judge Parker, Democrat, his private
secretary with extraordinary pow
ers. But Parker showed signs Of
resigning again so they compromised,
with him by making him attorney,
to the Secretary and he stayed there
until Garfield went out. Neither
feuds, fights or factionalism Jared
him. All the time Of the terrific
Ballinger-Pinch controversy he
went quietly on with his work. He
was Garfield's mainstay, yet Balling-,
er, whom Garfield and Clifford Pin
chot hated, made him Assistant TO-
the Secretary" which is about the
same as assistant to the President"
Of big railroad corporation.
Parker prepared to resign again,
but Pinchot said he wanted to sic
him after some big fellows about 70
steal some Of Uncle Sans forests.'
Pinchot was fired by Taft, but Park
er kept right on, remaining with tho
Forest Service until the new Demo-
cratic administration came in when
Secretary Lane made him chief clerk
and chief executive officer to look
after all the different bureaus Of the
big Interior Department, A.;
But the love Of the law finally con-
uuered and within the last few days
there has appeared on the windows
Of suite Of Offices in the Maryland
Building q new lawyers sign.

Fight TO save
FRANKS LIFE
Attorneys for Condemned Mau
Appear Before United States
Supreme Court.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.-Attor-
neys for Leo Frank, sentenced to die
for the murder of Mary Phagan, the
Atlanta, Georgia, factory girl. argued
before the supreme court of the Uni
ted States hat their client should be
released from custody. The court is
considering the appeal from the re-
flsal of the federal district court Of
Georgia to interfere in the case.
Franks attorneys are making the ap-
peal on the ground that the trial court
which sentenced frank had lost juris-
diction because of The mob violence
tolerated during the trial and the
consequent absence Of the prisoner
from court when the verdict was rem
dered. The argument will be conrin-
ued tomorrow when the representa-
tives of Georgia are also to be heard.

Proposals Considered.

Washington, D. G., Feb. 25.-The
United States has suggested infor-
mally to England and Germany that
in the interests of humanity and in
safeguarding legitimate commerce, all
mines should be removed from the
high seas except those directly neces-
sary for the protection of coast dc.
fenses and harbors.
This suggestion. along with the pro
posals to obtain Englands acquie-
scence in plan to permit the dis
tribution Of imported foodstuffs to the
civil population Germany and brings
about the abandonment by Germany
of its submarine warefare on merchant
men has been submitted by England to
her allies for consideration Germany
has manifested her willingness to
make concessions which gives officials
here ground for the hope that con.
ciliatory spirit may be adopted by Eng
land ....

Express Disproval.

~NP' SOe ~'oF' 80 ..
The press and public on the suppo-
sition that President Wilson has sug-
gested that England should not carry
out the threat to place an embargo on
foodstuffs for Germany, and that in
return Germany should not enforce
her submarine blockade against the
British Isles, has already expressed
their disapproval Of acceptance OF
such a proposition.
NenraIs Suffer. @
While eight British ships have been
destroyed in the week since the
blockade has become effective, it was
pointed out the majority OF them were
small, and that, instead Of having
food for England they were either car
rying coal or other freight for neu-
trails.
1t is believed here the destruction
of neutral ships and cargoes will en-
broil Germany with the neutrals. This
and other diplomatic questions, such
as the possible entry of Italy and Ru-
mania into the war, largely overshad-
owed the battlefield news.
Big Battle Developing.
Battles OF great magnitude are de-
veloping along the eastern front Of
Importance The Germans are appar-
emily attempting to make their way
to Warsaw from the northwest, pene-
trating to the most important town s0f
Przasnqsz, and almost directly north
OF the Polish capital. They claim TO
have captured 10000 prisoners and
much war material there.
The Germans are indicated in strong
force in North Poland, judging from
their reports of successes there. ,M
western Galicia, along the Carpath-
ians, battlss are raging without slack
,ening. thence through the western
Galicia and Bukowina
In the West
In the west the Allies are continuing
themselves TO bombardment of the
Germans along the coast, and often
siye operations in Champagne, Ar
gonne, and the heights of the Heuse
and Vosgoes. Both the Russians and
Turks claim success in the Caucasus.
In the house of commons Sir Edward
Grey made the important announce
ment that England sympathized with
the Russians aspirations to gain ac>
cess to the open sea through Turkey.
1t was greeted with cheers.

WILSON MAY SPEAK
ON MEMORIAL DAY
eBIieved He viii Accept Invita-
ton to Address G. A. R. at
| Arlington Exercises.

President Wilson probably will write
a letter tonight to Col. John McElroy
acting commander Of the Department OF
the Potomac, Grand Avmy of the Re-
public. accepting an invitation to attend
and deliver an address at the annual
Grand Army memorial day exercises al
the Arlington National Cemetery on
May 80.
An urgent invitation to the President
to attend was received at the White
House today from Colonel McElroy, who
stated that Gov. Frank b. Willis of
Ohio had agreed also to be present.
Friends of the President believe that.
despite his pressing duties in connection
with the international problems facing
the Administration, he will make every
effort osrant the wishes Of the Grand
Army men of the District of Columbia
by attending the exercises, and there
by overcome any traces Of resentment
remaining among the veterans because
of his action last spring regarding the
Memorial Day celebration. On that &C.
casion, after having accepted an invi-
tation to be present at the Confederate
Memorial exercises, he turned down an
invitation to address similar gather
ing of the local G. A. r. Subsequently,
however, after considerable criticism
had been occasioned. the President
changed his mind and accepted at the
last moment.
In his letter to hte President Colonel
McElroy declared that while the local
veterans appreciated the President g
position in not accepting many invita-
tions which would take him from his
task of handling the foreign situation.
they hoped he would make an exception
In their favor.
