General Pershing greatly regretted
that engagements at Yale and Harva I'd
late this month prevented him from

after his interview with Pershing.
The General further regrets his in.
ability to come with us because he

MY Dear General Pershing: I have
received your letter of June with
regard to the possibility of your re-
linquishing military duty within the
next few months. I am happy to note
that you are planning to aid us in the
reorganization contemplated by the re-
cent act of Congress, the Importance of
which, Of course, is very great. In this
work your knowledge of the quahfica-
tions of officers will be indispensable,
and, as the single list for promotion is
a project which you earnestly recon-
nended to Congress, it will help US
all to have your aid in ins.ituting it,
"Your military life has been active
and exacting; your services to the
country enttle you to choose with the
utmost freedom the activities and in,
terests to which you should devote your
time, and should you adhere to your
present wish to retire feel quite sure
the President will meet your wishes
whenever expressed.
"Both the country and the President
will know that should any emergency
arise after you have retired your coun-
try's call will find you ready to re-
spond.
"Cordially yours.

issue, not only for Henry but for the
public and our whole judicial system" :"
After both sides had rested W. Bourke
Cochran, counsel for Henry, moved the
dismissal Of the charges on the ground
that the prosecution had failed to make
case, that the grand jury which found
the indictment was not legally author
lied and that the testimony Henry was
accused Of giving the grand jury was
not material to any issue then pending
before that jury. The motion was de-
MED.
Most Of the day was devoted to sum-
ming up by Mr.. Cochran and by Will
lam Rand, Deputy Attorney General.
counsel for the prosecution.
Mr.. Cochran portrayed Henry as a
man "of unblemished character shin
| ing light"
'If this had been an ordinary case ~
be continued, "I would not have put the
defendant on the stand, but wanted to
let you contrast his character with the
character of Smith"
Mr.. Cochran spoke two hours and
twenty minutes.
Mr.. Rand devoted his argument
chiefly to pointing out that If Henry
was innocent Of perjury, Smith was
guilty Of the charges made by Henry.
He declared that when it comes to
imagination o. Henry had nothing on
A. Henry"
Referring to three afadavits, which
formed the crux Of the Henry indict-
ment and which embodied Henry's
charges against Smith. Mr.. Rand de-
clared that it had been shown that
the documents were prepared in 1918
by direction of Police Commissioner
Enright and were not made part Of
the Police Departments records, but
were held by Mayor Hylan against
Smith with view Of giving them to
the newspapers and thus running the
character Of Smith"
Mr.. Rand said the afldavits were
never intended to be used in court,
The affidavits accuse Smith of trying
to induce Henry to "open up" the
Tenderloin and to derive graft from
the secret operation Of gambling and
other disorderly houses.
Henrys trial, pending which he was
suspended as police inspector, began on
Juno 8. His first intimation that he
possessed affidavits, alleging that
Smith sought to connie with him In
ovbtaining revenue from vtca in the
Tenderioin district, came when be
second Street Police ssation on March
25, and there showed them copies Of
the affidavits.
On May IA Henry was acquitted by
Judge Halone Of a charge Of neglect
Of duty and was immsdistsly restored

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE delegates
are having a hard time figuring out
when their trains will get them home
under the new daylight saving ordi-
nance. 1t goes into effect Sunday morn
ing.
Among those who are pleased with
the platform are Lowden, Wood, John
son, Harding, Butler, Sproul, Poindex-
ter, Coolidge and most of the others.
The prophets are getting chary with
their words, now that the time ap,
proaches when most of them are going
to be proved wrong.
Two delegates were the only ones to
ralse a voice in protest against the
platform. One wanted more rigid en-
forcement of the Fourteenth Amend
ment and the ether didn't like the
league Of nations plank. Both were
squelched promptly.
Throughout the prolonged cheering
