WILSON CHANGES PLANS.
Ahandores Woods Hole, Mass, Be
cause of Lack of Conveniences.

BY Associated Press.
Washington. April 1S.-President
Wilson will not establish the summer
White House at Woods Hole, Mass.
as had been expected, but probably
will select some other place wher"
more accommodations are available
for the large staff of secretaries and
attaches.
1t became known today that the
announcement that the president had
selected the estate of Charles X.
Crane, minister to China. for his
summer home was premature. The
president had accepted Mr.. Cranes
offer of n lease on the property. but
when White House attaches inspect
ed the ground, it is said, they found
that the Crane estate was not large
enough and that the accommodation
in the village were insufficient for
the executive offices.
It also developed that the Crane
mansion is close to a bay railroad
track; that there are several auto
matte fog signals in Long Island
Sound close to shore. and that the
layout of the Crane grounds is such
that the secret service men found
obstacles to their plans for guarding
the president.
Owing to these considerations the
president, it was said today reluc-
tantly abandoned his plan to go to
Woods Hole. 1t has not been de-
cided where the president will 60
but several offers are before him.

Chicago, April 13.-The right Of a
newspaper to publish what it con-
siders news and to disregard what

that category was uphel d in an

Attorney William Reeda, an 'in-

The published portion named
democratic, republican and socialist
candidates, but omitted Independent
candidates. not with any intent of
ignoring them, but because they
were not considered as active con-
tenders, whereas the fight was be-
tween the party tickets.
It was contended by Mr.. Reeda
that this omission was wilful and
malicious and done with intent to In
jure his candidacy" He asked for
100000 damages. @

Labor Leader SCOTS at Threats Of
Outlaw Switchmen to Gust Him.
BY Associated Press.
Cleveland. April ia meeting Of
striking switchmen was called for
this morning to Offset the effect of
the appeal to return to work made
yesterday by Samuel Gompers and
w. G. Lee, president of the railmen's
brotherhood, to five brotherhood
lodges.
Regarding reports that some broth
erhood members were dissatisfied
with present grand lodge officers and
that resolutions had been adopted by
some locals asking for. the resigna-
ton Of w. G. Lee and others, Mr..
Lee today made this statement:
Some dissatisfaction with grand
lodge officers has developed and
some locals have requested elections
to remove grand lodge officers. This
is absurd. No grand lodge officer
can be removed except for cause and
after charges have >been preferred
against him and he has been given a
fair trial by the executive board.
Grand lodge officers were elected
at the last triennial meeting of the
board and their terms expire July 1,
1928. OF the approximately 100000
members of our organization less
than $4,000 are switchmen.
No leader can quit under fire. I
nor any other grand lodge, officer in
tends to resign, and we will not be
forcef out Of office by any minority
who may be dissatisfied because of
slowness in receiving wage demands.
The present grand lodge officers
will remain and proceed to carry on
the work Of the brotherhood in busi-
nesslike manner and will not. be
stampeded by the insurgency
