That President Wilson still regards
Article X as the heart OF the cove

exposition OF the meaning OF that
article.
"It is the specific pledge" he said,
"of the members of the League that
they will unite to resist exactly the

Republican Nominee Pleased
Over Enthusiasm Displayed
at His Ohio Rallies,

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Oct. 2S.--Sen-
ator Warren G.. Harding, Republican
Presidential candidate. who has be-
gun telling Ohio audiences that very
statement that he had brought Sena-
motored to a country club this morn
for Akron.
Senator Harding was greatly
pleased with the magnitude of his
Cleveland reception. After witness
ing the greatest torchlight and red
fire parade OF Republican men and
women Of the pesent campa gn, the
Senator. who felt that his prepared
address for Cleveland did not quite
do Justice to the occasion, spread
himself over a wide field. giving
Cleveland his conception of what
America should be in politics. gov
ernment. foreign policy, and much
else. The audience hung on to every
syllable.
PRAISES LEAGUE STAND.
It was especially interested in his
statement that hehad brought Sena-
tor Hiram Johnson and former Presi-
dent Taft closer together than they
had ever been on the league issue.
and that he had, he believed. render
ed service to America. IL not the
world, in making the two league fac
tions in the Republican party more
open to reason.
But he made II clear he did not ask
any Senator to accept the ideas of a
President on such an issue--that he
believed in Independent judgment by
Senators on such matters.
Never before has Senator Harding
had so many questions put to him
from the audience. He took great
pains to answer each questioner fully.
and in spite of efforts of Mayor Fitz-
gerald and a couple OF policemen at
one stage TO chuck out n Socialist
duestioncr, the Senator kept the sit
uation in his own hands, and would
not permit election.
SHEDS HIS DIGNITY.
In his Cleveland speeches Senator
Harding. who shed the dignified pose
after completion of his prepared ad-
dress and warmed UP to his audience
like an evangelist exhorter. empha-
sized his policies OF party government
as opposed to personal government,
American nationalism as against in
ternationalism, ample protection OF
American citizens on lawful busi-
ness" abroad-although he declared he
was not going abroad himself--and

which all America can unite and help

Dried Dishes Few Hours
Before Tragedy.

Only few hours before he is al
legged to have struck Mrs. Mary
Emily Faithful in the head with an
iron bar, causing her death. eight
een-yesr-old Edgar Randolph Per-
rygo was drying dishes in her home
while Mabel Hill, his sixteen-year-
old sweetheart, washed them, ac-
cording to Mrs. Viola Anna Hill,
sister-in-law Of Mabel, who took the
stand for the government in the
trial Of Perrygo this morning.
BOY DRIED DISHES.
Edgar and Mabel came to my house
about 8 o'clock on the morning OF
February g." Mrs. Hill said. "They
went back into the kitchen and Mabel
washed the dishes and Edgar dried
them. They were talking about get
ting married. / heard Edgar say he
was going in to town to get a mar
riage license. and Mabel said some
thing about getting the Baptist min
lister. Edgar said something about he
was getting tired staying in the
country. and he was going to get
married and come In to town to live.
They stayed at my house about
two hours and then Sdgar left saying
he was going to get the license"
About o'clock In the afternoon,

coat and hat and he said he didn't
have time to stay.
. "Fe starte1 to say something and
Mabel said let's 60 in the othes ROOM"
the witness said. They got up and
went In the dining room. and when
went back there they got up and
came into the front room"
EFFORT UNSUCCESSFUL.
An effort on the part of the Gov
ernment to get from Mrs. Hill an ad
mission that she had seen LieutepAnt
Ready. who with other officers ar
rest ed PerryGo at the Hill home. take
money from beneath the lid of the
piano. was unsuccessful.
II did not see Sergeant Ready take
anything from the piano" she said.
Mrs. Hill said that when Edgar re-
turned to her home in the afternoon.
before his arrest, his eyes were very
red and he looked like he had been
crying. She said she saw Mabel give
Sergeant Ready a revolver.
Certain corrections in the confession
which Edgar is supposed to have made
at police headquarters following his
arrest, were challenged this morn
ing by James A. O'Shea in the exami-
nation of Detective Sergeant Albert
c: Lynn.
CORRECTIONS CHALLENGED.
Lynn said that he had made ,the
correct ons at the suggestion of the
boy. He admitted that Perrygo had
been talking so fast while making
the statement that he wasn't able to
get down all he said.
Regarding that part of the confess
sion which says 81 make this state
ment OF my own free will and it is
purely voluntary on my part, know
ing the consequences of the act"
Lynn admitted that the words were
his. but that Edgar lad agreed to
them.
"It is the form usually used in a
confession" he said
He said the confession was read
over twice to Perrygo before II was
signed, and that Edgar himself read
1t once.
An attempt on the part Of the de-
fense yesterday afternoon to have
the written confession which Perry
go Is alleged to have made at Police
Headquarters following his arrest
ruled out, resulted in the confession
being excluded so far as Detective
Joseph Connors was concerned and
his being barred fom testifylng in
