He WAS TOLD TO LEAVE
Naval Recruiting Officer Said
to Have Found Winchester
Disinclined to Hospitality.

William Vogelsang, vice presi-
dent of the Turtle Lake Lumber
Company at Winchester, may
become involved with the q. S.
Government as a result of an
order he is alleged to have given
Chief Petty Officer c. R Burke,
in charge of the Rhinelander
Naval recruiting office, to discon-
tinue operations and leave Win
chester on the next train. Mr..
Burke was on a recruiting visit
at that place.
Vogelsangis said to be in com
plete charge OF the Turtle Lake
Lumber Company, in the absence
of the president of the concern
and as is well known, such an
official enjoys great deal of au-
thority in a small place. In fact,
most of the industrial enterpris-
es, including the boarding house
are usually under the control, if
not owned by the lumber compa-
ny operating in a village such as
Winchester.
Chief Burke had been in town
for some time and had secured
an interview with one of the
Winchester young men desiring
to enter the service of the United
States Navy. Negotiations had
been about completed when Vog-
elsang approached the officer
and inquired as to what was GO
ing on. Burke answered that he
was on recruiting business for
the Navy and was about to sign
up a recruit.
At this point Vogelsang ap-
peared to become quite authori
tative and is alleged to have
said. "You have got a hell of a
lot of CUTS, taking men out of
this place and you had better
make arrangements to get out of
town tomorrow.
To the credit Of the chief, be it
said that he continued with his
work and signed the recruit to
whom he had been talking when
interrupted. He took the next
train, which left Winchester the
following noon, and returned to
this city where he reported the
matter to the Naval authorities
at Washington. What course
they will pursue in bringing the
Winchester Kaiser to time is not
known at present but it is com
mon knowledge that Uncle Sam
does not brook any interference
with his operations and especial
ly with those which have made
and are maintaining his navy as
one of the greatest fighting ag-
gregations Observation-Disclosures

Senators Propose Relief
Measures for Farmers

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Senators
from the Western and Southern states
are considering urging legislative ac-

cnly agency which could give immedi-
ate help to agricultural interests in the
'appalling' situation resulting from
the sudden fall in prices.

and Representatives to discuss the mat
ter will be called, it was said, when
Chairman Gronna, North Dakota, OF
the Senate Agricultural Committee,
arrives in Washington. One sugges-
tion is that Congress adopt manda-
tory resolution directing the immediate
revival of the corporation.
In an appeal to President Wilson to
restore the corporation Senator Dial,
Of South Carolina, wrote that he had
discussed the matter with Secretary
Houston, adding:
II must say that he does not COM
prehend in the least the situation. or
he does not desire to assist the Ameri-
can producer, and l feel that it is abso-
lutely useless for anv one to confer
with him further on the subject"
The executive committee of the Ma
tional Board Of Farm Organizations
will meet here on Monday to discuss
possible relief measures.

Many Years Dean of Business
Men in Massachusetts; Kin
of Thomas Jefferson

BOSTON, Nov. 17.-Thomas Jeffer-
son Coolidge, formerly United States
Minister to France, and for many years
the dean of the business men of this
city, died tonight in his home here.
He was SO years old
My. Coolidge was q descendant Of one
of the oldest families of Boston, and
was a great grandson of Thomas JEFF
ferson. After having been graduated
from Harvard he spent several years
abroad and entered the West Indian
trade. Later he assumed the manage
ment of the Lawrence Cotton MANI
featuring Company and the Amoskeag
Mills. He then became associated with
the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
road and with The Orepon Rairoa
& Navigation Company, the Boston e.
Maine. Chicago, burlington G. Quincy
and other lines.
Mr.. Coo-idge's public career began

to the Pan-American Congress. All.

Democrat, he later became a Repub

some of the Republican Senator's
notably braandegee and Moses, of the
irreconciable group on the treaty,
would prefer Lodge as Secretary of
State, on the theory that Lodge is
stronger against the Wilson covenant
than Root and would be inclined to
pull Harding further away from the
whole. idea rather than closer to the
general world plan agreed upon at
Versailles.
This group Of Republicans is alarmed
at the intimations that Britain and
France are willing to rewrite the
league covenant to suit the United
States. but are unwilling to revise the
remainder of the treaty. Senator
Moses, for example, has frequently de-
clared that the remainder of the treaty
IS worse than the league covenant.
This is also the opinion of a consid-
cradle element among the irreconcila-
pies, including Senator Norris, Of
Nebraska; Medill Mccormick, of Illi-
nois, and half dozen others.
Some of these have felt, as was
openly charged by the Wilson leaders,

the President without question always
asserted that Mr.. Lodge, although he
voted to ratify the treaty with reserva-
tions, had taken good care to load the
treaty down with such reservations as
ne knew would be unacceptable to the
President before so voting.
AS matter of fact, however. SEN
ator Harding and Senator Lodge al
most without exception voted together
on every question presented by the
treaty which resulted in rollcall.
