Baron Zwiedinek COnfers
Informally With Lansing
on Second Austrian Note

Washington, ID, c., Dec. 21.-Baron
Erich Zwiedinek, charge of the Aus
tro-Hungarian embassy, called on
Secretary Lansing to-day to discuss
the Ancona case. Baron Zwiedinek
had been furnished a copy of the sec
ond note of the United States 1t was
believed that he desired information
of an informal character. The charge
is known to have received instructions
from the Vienna Foreign Office re-
garding the negotiations
1t was authoritatively stated to-day
that Baron Zwiedinek intimated last
week to Secretary Lansing that should
the second note be less severe his
government might see fit to make A
reply which would satisfy the United
States. To-day's conference, it was
believed, had to do with this sugges-
ton.

further appearance before the grand
jury with Frank Morrison, secretary of
the Federation.
As illustrating the ramifications of
the Federal investigation here it was
said to-day that the government agents
are collecting evidence regarding al
legged plots to blow up powder houses
on both the Canadian and American
sides of the Niagara river at Niagara
Falls and to destroy the Michigan
Central and Grand Trunk international
bridges there.
Missing Link
Federal officials here expect to ar
rest shortly a man whose name has
not yet been mentioned in connection
with the conspiracy to destroy the
Welland canal and this will complete
the government case in this matter,

is styled the missing link" in the con-
spiracy is under surveillance and will
be taken into custody when the au-
thorities decide such action is desir-
able.

but the belief was general to-day that
1t is without political significance so
far as Colonel Roosevelt's own am
billions are concerned.
The Coloners present attitude as un-
derstood by his friends here is that he
is not a candidate for the nomination
for the presidency. He Is. however.
1t is believed. intensely earnest in his
determination to defeat Woodrow Will
son for reelection. He believes the
welfare of the country demands this
and he is prepared to throw himself
into the fight to accomplish this with
all the vigor and resourcefulness that
marked his attack upon Mr.. Taft.

McADOO PHONES WALL
ST. ABOUT DINNER
[Continued From First Page.l

While the diners persisted in shunt-
ing off inquiries, there were indications
in other quarters that the political
possibilities of that gathering of men
of. large affairs was making a strong
appeal. In Wall Street II lSindled the
ardor of men who have been engrossed
in war stocks. 1t wasn't long before
the word got abroad that Secretary
McAdoo was using the long distance
telephone to ask his friends in the
financial district as TO what it all
meant.
Tumulty Seeks News. Too
Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to the
President, also made inquiries as to
how the news of the dinner was being
taken. Especially was he anxious to
know what the coming together of
captains of industry on both sides of
the big political fence indicated to
those who do business below Fulton
street.
Paul NJ. Warburg. of the Federal
Reserve Board, who used to be a men,
Der of Kuhn, Loeb x Co, came to town
yesterday. Report had it that he had
made a hurried trip to find out for
himself why Jacob II. Schiff, always a
stanch Democrat, was among the
guests. Everybody admitted that the
explanation that it was just a social
gathering was a good one. but the idea
persisted that the Colonel had been
invited for some other purposes.
The first Interpretation put upon the
dinner was that Judge Gary and his
friends wanted to consult Colonel
Roosevelt as to what he thought the
Republican party ought to do in the
coming campaign. Others thought that
the diners had a very clear idea of
what the Republican party ought to
do and merely wanted to find out what
the Colonel was going to do. Again
there was the opinion that the propo-
Stion that President Wilson must be
beaten at all hazards had been put to
the Colonel and he had been asked not
10 do anything that would tend to dis
turb that program.
Richard V. Lindabury, counsel for
the United States Steel Corporation,
who was one of Judge Gary's guests,
declined to comment on the dinner,
hut he did take a shot at President
Wilson. When II was mentioned that
he was one of the men who urged
President Wilson to leave Princeton
End run for Governor of New Jersey
and had thereby helped to boost him
into the presidency Mr.. Lindabury
said:
Yes. l suppose it's true. but I'll
never do it again. I'll never do it
again"
Moose May Meet June
Comment on the dinner was inevi-
tably coupled with the well-authenti-
Gated report that Progressive leaders
have been considering the advisability
Of holding their national convention
in Chicago on June :, the date of the

the city. This found the almost un-
paralleled situation OF complete
system to be organized from the
start. Usually the school system
grows. YOU see, from one school to

the demand comes. At Salt Lake
there was a wholesale transplanting
of an entire system.
"rhe athletics were a matter of some
debate. From the first favored
football for the boys, and the presi-
dent of the board of education
backed me up. The superintendent
of schools thought the game too
brutal, so we Disposed of his OBJ
jections by having a physician in
attendance at all the games TO care
for any one who got hurt But no
body did get hurt, strange to say.
That was a long time ago. when
football was lust being brought,

the game.

DO YOU approve OF football for

asked.
II think that as soon az a 10y Is
old enough to balance On one foot
he IL old enough to practice the
kicking and catching part. The kind
of football most small bows nlay Is
merely roughing It. They don't know
the real rules. and the whole thing
is merely an excuse for sort OF
rough and tumble fight. They take
turns piling on top of each other, and
the strongest boy wins.
ITO them the essence of football
the punting and the catching of
punts--is the smallest part OF the
game. | don't call this football. and
| don't approve OF II. The exercise
Of KICKING is a feature that should
