WILSON IS NO

GAINS SLOWLY

1t is quite possible that there may
be one session Of the cabinet be-
fore Mr.. Wilson goes away for the
summer, though no word has gone
forth to that effect There have
been reports current that the cabi-
net members felt somewhat sighted
by the presidents Indifference. The
other day incidentally Mrs. Wilson
had all the wives Of the cabinet
members to tea. It was the first
social function of its kind for many
months and no doubt had the eff
feet of preserving happiness in the
official family.
Slew Recovery Discouraging.
The slow recovery of the presi-
dent is discouraging to his many
friends who had hoped the spring
months would see him going about
with his accustomed vigor. His de-
tachment from Official Washington
is much more pronounced than any
one dreamed would be the case.
Not only has the president failed
to see his own cabinet but several
foreign ambassadors accredited to
the United States have also been
waiting for months to gain an audi
ence with Mr.. Wilson.
The president is keeping his own
counsel, too. None of his cabinet
knows what he intends doing about
the peace treaty and it is seriously
doubted on Capitol Hill whether
Senator Hitchcock knows Mr.. Will
sons plans. There was a recur.
renee, too, during the senate de.
bate on Friday Of the feeling that
Mr.. Wilson is unable to function
as president because of his physical
weakness. This insinuation how
ever has SO often been injected in
the partisan warfare that it has
heretofore been discounted and

Northampton, Mass, May "a DIR.
William Boos, State bacterologist.
testifying this afternoon in the trial
of Mrs. Anna Tomaszkie wicz of
South Hadley, charged with the muir
der by poisoning of her husband,
said that chemical analysis which
he had made of the vital organs of
three husbands of the defendant.
showed them to contain arsenic of
sufficient amount to cause death.
The organs, it was brought out, were
taken from the bodies of Theodore
Darmetka, Peter Who's and Andrew
Toma sZkiewicZ, who we're the last
three of the five husbands of the de-
PENDANT.
In his opinion each Of these three
men took a dose of from five to eight
grains of arsenic. Two grains. lie
said, would be enough to cause
death. The witness explained in de-
tail the symptoms surrounding death
by poisoning and from observing the
symptoms of the three husbands, not
including the chemical analysis. he
gave it as his opinion that all three
died of arsenical poisoning.

French President
None the Worse After
Fall from Train

Paris, May 24--President> Deschan-
ell returned to the Elyses Palace this
evening after his miraculous escape
from death near Montars:s last night
when he plunged head first through
window of a special train on which
he was travelling to Montbrison to
dedicate a monument to- Senator
Raymond, a French aviator who was
killed during the war. The president
looked not much the worse for his
experience.
NJ. Deschanel, who was accompan-
led on the trip by automobile from
Montargis by Madame Deschanel and
Premier Miller. alighted from the
vehicle in the Elyses yard without
help. His face was not bandased
but showed the marks of the acct
dent.
Premier Millerand said to- the cor
respondent:
You may tell your people in Am
erica that the President is sound
physically and mentally. Only 3, few
scratches remain of the terrible ex-
perience he underwent President
Deschanel is feeling so good that he
insists on presiding over the council
OF ministers which is scheduled 10 be
held tomorrow"
1t developed from NJ. Millerand's
talk that the escape of the president
from death was miraculous, as &C
cording to the Premier the train was
travelling at the rate of fifty kilo-
metres an hour.
1T is fantastic" the premier kent
repeating.

ior, who was on the tram with the
president, reported to M. Milleran nd
