The Washington herald., 1920-02-15

For the first time during Presi-
dent Wilson's administration Demo-
cratic members of both House and
Senate were reluctant to discuss ar
oficial act of the President. There
was much private talk, however
and those who would permit them
selves to be quoted were almost
unanimous in expressing their re-
gret at the manner in which Presl-
dent Wilson forced Secretary Lam
sings resignation. Even Democrats
admitted that Mr.. Lansing was
right in calling members of the
Cabinet together for informal con-
ferences during the Presidents i'll
ness.
The Lansing resignation furnished
the chief topic of discussion yester-
day and there was no small amount
of comment in Congressional circles
en- the political aspects furnished
by the reaction in Mr.. Lansing's ia
vor. and the possibility of his be-
coming a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination as a result of the
strong tide of sentiment turning to-
ward him.
King Defends President.
Senator King. of Utah. defended
the Presidents course. He said he
thought Lansing should have got
ten out of the Cabinet long ago, as
he did not measure up to the posi-
ton" He added he thought the
"stinging rebuke" President Will
son gave Lansing was not merited.
Senator Norris, Nebraska. said:
The correspondence proved tow
things-that the President was in
capacitated and that the mental
expert who was employed at the
White House was discharged too
soon"
Senator Curtis. of Kansas. said
The correspondence with Mr.. Lam
sing reveals the true physical and
mental condition of the President"
Senator Borah called attention to
the disagreement between the Pres
ident and Lansing over the Shan
tunC settlement, and to the testi-
mony before the Foreign Relations

Borah said:
Never in the history of the world
has there been a treaty so rapidly

wired demanding withdrawal of the
strike order.
The President said on this point:
Il have the right to request and
| do request that any railroad labor
organization which has a strike or
der outstanding shall withdraw
such order Immediately and await
the orderly solution OF this Ques-
ton"
In accepting the proposal. the union
leaders asked the President to take
up the proposition with the railway
executives and secure their agreement
thereto, so that when their repre-
isentatives convene on February q
they will be able to place before
them definite basis for final action.
List Of Principles.
In replying to the Presidents pro-
posal the union leaders, after stating
that they had decided to submit to
their constituencies the advisability
of the creation of such a special joint
commission. submitted a list of prin-
ciples to be used as a basis for set
Ting this particular controversy
These principles are:

Want Immediate Relief.
The representatives of the work
ers are a unit in emphasizing to the
President the necessity for imme-
diate relief and requested that he
not await legislation but act now.
Their letter on this point says that
they feel justified in saying they do
not believe railroad employees will
willingly accept any plan which
contemplaces delay.
The demands of all railroad en-
ploycs for increased wages would,
according to information. furnished
the President. by Director General
Hines, aggregate an additional an
nual expenditure of s375,000,Oo0.
The three proposals made by Mr..
Wilson in his letter to the railroad
men were, in brief:-
That IL the railroad legislation
now in Congress created arbitra-
ltion machinery, he would use his
influence to see that such ma
chinery, was promptly organized
and put to work on railroad wage
problems.
Ask Presidents Ipnpence.
That IL no such legal machinery
were created he would use his in
fiuence to get railroad employees Rnd
managers to join in creating a tri-
bunal to adjust wage matters. This
Is the proposal accepted.
That he would at once start ex-
perts compiling data to be pre-
sented in compact form to the tri-
bunal handling the wage problems.
Warning that any strikes of rail-
road employees at this time would have
serious effect not only upon the en-
tire country but on the railroad en-
ployes as well. Mr.. Wilson said:

Ghosts Stalk Through
This Death House

Luray, Va, Dec. 4.-Strange
and uncanny noises, coming at
all times of the night, have set
awry the nerves of the family of
Sam Price, living in what is
known as the Burner home
located in the foothills of the
Massanutten mountains. five
miles west of Luray, where the
family of Charles Burner-his
wife and three children-were
murdered BY William Nichols,
the woman's paramour, the man
a few minutes thereafter killing
himself with a shotgun in an
aba ndoned house near by.
The house, located in a deep
ravine that comes down from the
mountains, is looked upon with
horror. notwithstanding the fact
that no fewer than a half dozen
| years have lapsed since the ter
rible triple murder and suicide.
Robert Nichols, who for many
years made his home in the same
neighborhood and a man of un-
daunted courage, who was will
ing to go at all lengths for money
that could be earned in an honor.

sum if he would stay all night in
the house in which the murders
were committed.
Nichols undertook the ordeal
Of staying all night in the house
alone gathering together a sup
ply of wood to keep himself
warm during his Il hours vigil.
He remained until l o'clock, when
the unearthly noises that came
from all parts Of the building

treat.
At different times many FAM
