In some quarters; where Considerable

In other quarters Il IS assumed that
the gold is coming from China for

HOW FAST CAN A FORD
TRAVEL is QUESTION
Twenty Ms an Hour Not Slow For
Machine, Says Accused in
Court.

Charles Irwin, a constable Of North
Liberty, was found guilty of exceeding
the speed limit by Judge Warner in
city court Friday morning and fined
IS anC costs. Immediately after
judgment was pronounced an appeal
was taken TO the circuit court and the
case will be retired there
Motorcycle officer Wesolek testified
that he arrested Irwin about six blocks
from the city limits on s. Michigan
ST.. last Sunday after he had trailed
the car which was travelling betwe
30 and 40 miles an hour. According
to the testimony of Irwin and two
companions the car did not travel
over 20 miles an hour at any time
inside the city limits. When Pros.
Nye asked if that speed wasn't rather
slow, Irwin replied:
1T isn't very slow for a Ford
Before prOnOuncing judgment
Judge Warner declared that he did
not believe that officer WesOlek ar
rested Irwin maliciously and that al
though there were three witnesses
who denied his allegations, he would
take his evidence as the basis for his
decision. According TO the Judge, he
would be doubling the veracity of the
officer If Irwin was found not guilty
and he could see no reason why the
officer would be inclined to either ar
rest Irwin or misrepresent circum-
stances

President is Said to Have De-
CIared His Intention of Re-
duCing Message to
Writing at Once.
STATE DEPART MENT
GETS PLOT EVIDENCE
Neutrality Violations Are
Brought Before Body. Men,
berS Refuse to Dis
CuSS Session.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Presi-
dent Wilson today outlined TO his
cabinet his first message to the next
congress. which he will deliver in
person on DECEMBER Z.
After an extended discussion the
president is said TO have declared his
intention Of reducing the message to
writing at once. II was thought like
ly he will have it completed by next
Monday and that il will be taken up
again by the cabinet next Tuesday.
The neutrality violations on which
the department of justice has been
working was again brought up at the
meeting. Attorney General Gregory
gave a more detailed account OF the
information that his agents have un-
earthed Special reference was made
to the disclosures Of DIR. Josef Gorl-
car, the former Austrian consul.
In this connection ii was learned
that the department of justice TINS
afternoon turned over to the state
department all of the evidence II has
obtained against consuls of foreign
governments. No statement could be
obtained from state department Of
fcials as to probable action 1t was
believed, however, that il the evidence
Is found 10 be conclusive that the
eNeQudturS OF all COnSulS Implicated
will be cancelled Immediately.
None Of the cabinet members would
discuss the meeting when they lett
the white house. Secretaries McAdoo
and RedfeId remained with the presi-
dent Tor some time after the meeting
adjourned They were thought TO
have taken up special department
matters.
Despite complete realization that
opposition may defeat the prepared
ness legislation planned by the admin
istration, house advocates of the new
army and navy plans admitted today
that they had little hopes of dislodg-
ing Claude Kitchin as leader. They
blame the white house for this con-
dition of affairs because the presl-
dent, through Secretary Tumulty, has
left il be known that he does not
want a fight made upon Kitchin at
this time.
The advoctes of the military and
naval programs, however, are count
ing noses to see whether they can
crystalize the now disconnected op-
position into a solid movement
With that object in view they have
been looking over the available can
didates. The popular choice lies be-
tween f. J. Garrett, of Tennessee,
and Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois. Gar
rett is very popular is one of the
ablest men in the house and a bril-
liant parliamentarian. When Under
wood left the house he was candi-
date for leader, but withdrew in the
interest of harmony when Kitchin in
sisted on his seniority.
