Senator Penrose to-day declined
to discuss the movement to depose
him further than to say that he
thought there was nothing in it
and that he felt sure he would be
made chairman of the finance COM
mittee. Inquiry among members of
the Senate developed the fact that
the Progressives. led by Senator
Borah, who initiated the movement
against Penrose, have made little
headway.
1t has not proved popular move
ment in the Senate, because those
who might not care for Penrose for
chairman of the principal commit
tee, fear to break the rule of senior
ity lest it react upon them or their
friends. This fact deters the DEM
ocrats from giving any encourage
ment to the revolution started by
Borah and Norris, of Nebraska.
They realize that if the seniority
rule is broken it may embarrass
them If they again secure control
of that body. One thing that Pen
roses friends put forward in his
behalf is the fact that he has fully
qualified for the craftsmanship. Dur

WILSON FREES z
NAMED BY HUGHES

With Concerns in Which
They Were Interested

Washington, Dec. 4.-Lieutenant

tive Office to-day that the President
had pardoned Lieutenant Colonel
George W. Mixter and Lieutenant
Colonel J. c. Vincent. whom the re-
cent report on aircraft production

cause of a breach of statutes because
he entirely concurs in the views or
the attorney general with regard to
these two cases, He believed that
the two gentlemen concerned We're
entirely innocent of any improper
or selfish intentions, that their guilt
was only technical. and that their
services to the government, which
have been of the highest value and
OF the most disinterested sort, de-
serve n most cordial recognition"
No action against Colonel Vincent
or Colonel NIixter has been taken by
the department OF justice, and the
granting of full pardons to them was
recommended TO the President by At
torney General Gregory, who took up
their cases in separate letters to the
President. These letters were made
public tonight.

Liberty motor.
