by the state leaders.
It was suggested that Warren G.

however, was expressed that he

Mr.. Frederick is a member of the
law firm of Ham. Frederick l. Willard
and stands very high in his profession.
He is 10 years old, native of Maine,
and formerly was clerk of the supreme
court of Massachusetts.
After retiring as clerk Attorney
Frederick went into general practice,
sbut he spent most of his time sitting
as master in important cases, so he is
well qualified to sit as master in this
case. He was agreed upon by Attor-
ney Frank N. Nay of counsel for the
petitioners and Attorney Stoughton
Bell of the trustees counsel.
At the hearing in Boston Tuesday it
was stated by counsel for the petit
TONERS that the master ought to be au-
thorized to take testimony in Brattle-
boro, and this was not objected to by
the defendants counsel, who said it
inc some witnesses here, but just what
win be done in that regard is not
known here at present
Judge Crosby has pointed out that
he has no authority to direct that the
master 60 out of the jurisdiction OF
Massachusetts to examine witnesses
which is true in other states, but II
is not anticipated that there will be
any difficulty on that point, as mas
ters often sit in several jurisdictions

states, as the petitioners will wish tc

LANSING POPULAR.

what they were worth and like faith
full servant did all he could to keep rela-
tions harmonious.
But the President, instead of appre
ciating the self sacrifice of his Secretary
of State, often times forgot he had one.
He gave so much time to Col. House and
placed so much confidence in the man
from Texas that it was subject of pub
Tic comment on every side Yet, Mr.
Lansing hid his pride and did his job.
1t was when the Shantung settlement
came up and when the President became
involved III the meshes of European dip
lomacy that Mr.. Lansing expressed dis
senting views on a number of questions,
all of which served To iritate Mr.. Wilson,
who couldn't book disagreement. Pres
emily, Mr.. Wilson began to lose conf
dence in the judgment of Colonel House
and when he failed to consult him. he
relied more on Mr.. Lansing's advice 1t
began to look as if the two men would
get close together after all. Mr. Lansing
continued to work hopefully. He didn't
want the President to go on that western
trip. He thought Mr.. Wilson could do
much more effective work in Washington
and he felt, too, that the physical strain
might break him down.
But the real crux of the situation came
when Mr.. Lansing showed unmistakable
readiness to write a compromise on the
peace treaty, willingness to adapt the
Lodge reservations to the Wilson view
point in such fashion that ratification
could be accomplished without loss of
dignity by either side But Mr.. Wilson
was furious. He was impatient with any.
one who even mentioned the word ''reser-
Walton" in his presence. The nearest one
could get in communication that would
not bring forth his displeasure was the
employment of the word ''interpreta
tions." Senator Hitchcock could probably
| tell an interesting story some day about
his troubles with President Wilson, which
would perhaps throw light on why Mr.
Lansing was summarily dismissed.
internationally, the departure of Mr.
Lansing will cause much uncertainty fol
our ambassadors and ministers abroad
have long felt that they were unable Il
execute their tasks because of the lacl
OF knowledge of what the Department o.
State had in mind. There will be ever
more perplexity because it win take tn,
new Secretary of State sometime to ge
his bearings. Mr.. Lansing's going will b
regretted by newspaper men generally
who regarded him as not necessarily tn
best Secretary of State we have ever had
but as one of the highest types Of publ
iotfieial-an honest, Christian gentleman
who gave more to the President tina
he ever received
