In the little home at 5066 Conduit
road this morning there is a 5s-year-
cid grandmother who smiles with
happiness. For she, Mrs. William NJ
Green, has a box of candy on the
mantle piece-a box of candy from
President and Mrs. Wilson.
The Presidents car stopped before
her humble dwelling Sunday after
noon and the Chief Executive him
self presented the old lady this box
of sweets.
That's why the box Is on the man.
tlepiece. One doesn't get a gift of
sweets from the President every day,
or from every President. and SO this
box Is due for a glass case.
From her porch many times dur
ing the past summer Mrs. Green
has waved to the President and Mrs.
Wilson as they passed in the Presi-
dents car. Pleased by the almost
daily greeting, she wrote to Mrs.
Wilson and said she would like to
make present for the President.
Mrs. Wilson suggested some gift
she would make in her own way.
Last dnesday--afternoon Mrs.
Green greeted the Presidents car
and when the machine stopped in

Smith is alleged to have been
with Trumble when the minister
shot him and 1t was Smiths arms
in which Trumble is said to have
died. He disappeared Immediately
following the shooting and was
found in Windsor today.
Spracklin's defense hinges on
Smiths story-whether Trumble had
a gun when he was killed. Sprack-
lin said he did. Trumble's widow
and others say he did not.
Spracllin was to return to Wind
ser late today. He spent the week
end in Chatham at the home of an
other minister. Police said today
he was not spirited away from
Windsor as was reported.
Members of Spracklin's congre-
cation and local ministers said to-
day he would not be unfrocked as
a result Of the killing. Spracklin
was acting, in the capacity of spe-
cial liquor license inspector when
the shooting occurred.

ARCTICSAILORS
TRAPPED IN ICE
Relief Party Formed toRes-
cue Crew of Ship Caught
Off Alaskan Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. s.-Pians
to send a relief expedition 30 Banks
Island off the Alaskan coast. in an
attempt to rescue five men ice
bound aboard the famous Arctic
schooner Polar Bear, were made to-
day by H. Liebes & Co.. furriers ana
owners of the vessel.
A brief message from Nome noti-
fled the company that the Polar
Bear had been caught in the ice.
Men along the water front ac-
quainted with the ways of the North
feared 1t might be the last of long
series of adventures in the Arctic
regions for the vessel.
The message from Nome said the
men were short OF food. The vessel
had aboard a cargo of furs valued
at 100000.
The Polar Bear was the ship
which led the expedition attempt
ing to rescue Vilhtalmir Stefansson
in 1914. and almost every winter has
figured in some daring exploit OF the
Arctic regions.

weeks. the police declared. and no
one here has seen either DIR. Elmer
or wife in that length OF time. all
though r. c. Durrance. local at
torney. who claims to represent the
couple, stated Monday that both
were in the State and that both
could be found at any time that
anything developed that made II
necessary for them to appear in
court.
Durrance refused to disclose their
whereabouts, and characterized the
investigation now being conducted
at Macon. Ga. to determine the man
ner Of death Of the late Fred d.
Shepard. wealthy peach-grower. as
an attempt by relatives to secure
the bulk Of the 100000 estate left
by the deceased. Mr.. and Mrs. Ell
mer left Jacksonville about two
weeks ago without disclosing to
their friends or business associates
where they were going or when
they would return. according 70
neighbors and friends. Neither Mr..
Elmer nor his wife has any rela-
tives residing here. SO far as can
be- ascsrtained.
Shepard died early In June after
a brief illness and an unsuccessful
operation. Within six weeks aft
erwards. Shepard's bride OF six
months married DR.. N. Y. Elmer. of

IRISH FRIENDS
AGAIN MARCH
,000Enthusiastic Freedom
Supporters Parade in
Memory of M'Swiney.

Led by jeremiah O'Connor, carry
ing a placard carrying the legend
ireland Shall Not Be Crushed" the
long file of Friends of Irish Free
dom, who on Sunday night held the
first of seventy-two consecutive
demonstrations at the White House
in protest against Americas si-
lence on the Irish situation, last
night made their second pilgrimage
along F street to the Executive
Mansion.
Any doubts in the minds of lead
ers as to whether the members OF
the Padraic H. Pearse Branch will
stick out" the seventy-two nights
were dispelled early last night when
more than 1000 packed into the
hall at COL E street northwest.
Many of them brought homemade
flags of the Irish Republic" Small
flags of the United States were dis
tributed><o others. and one old wom-
an tottered along in the line car
rying a huge spray of waxed-palm
leaves resurrected from some long
forgotten day and twined about
with small green. white and orange
streamers-colors of the republic"
The long line left headquarters
about . o'clock and threaded its way
slowly through the traffic OF F street
to Executive avenue. One complete
circuit of the grounds was made in
memory of Terence MacSwirey and
the length of the block in front of
the White House was twice trav-
ersed, once for Fitzgerald and once
for Murphy, the two hunger strikers
who died. The marchers then re-
turned to their headquarters and dis
banded. They will meet at o'clock
tonight for their third visit.
As long as the Irish sympathizers
remain peaceable in their silent
marches around the White House,
authorities will probably not modest
them, It was learned yesterday.

EVADE VOTING LAWS

ROCKVILLE, Md, Nov. SIN his
charge to the grand jury at the
opening of the November term of the
Circuit Court here this morning,
Judge Edward C. Peter said that it
had been called to his attention that
a number of residents of the District

residences in the lower section of
this county. especially in the Chevy
Chase precinct OF. Bethesda district,
and had succeeded in voting at the
recent election
He urged the jury to investigate
and return indictments where the
facts justify 1t, stating that there
was ample law to punish such Of

Secretary Houston's estimate Of

Senator Curtis. Of Kansas. Repub-
lican whip" said the majority will
adopt rigorous measures to cut ap-
preparations by stopping waste
wherever possible.
Senator wadsworth, Of New York.
chairman of the Military Affairs
Committee, called attention to the
fact that $1,000. .0OO. 900 had been re-
quested by Secretary of War Ba-
ker for the army. He said there
would have to be a big cut in this
estimate.
LAST year We allowed them s327,-

To Adopt Rigid Budget.
Practically all the departments of
the government will be reorganized
and a rigid budget system will be
adopted, in the interest of economy.
It was reported here that Will
Hayes, who has established himself
as an organizer of no mean ability,
will be in charge of at least por-
ton Of this work
Gov. Frank Lowden, of Illinois,
who established a budget system in
Illinois, will be entrusted with the
work In Washington
New Policy Started.
The Republican leaders have
adopted a policy for expediting the
enactment of revenue and tax legis-
latioh at the extra session which
will be called shortly after Pres
ident-elect Harding takes office. The
present plan is to have subcommit-
tees go to work on these measures
during the short session and con-
tinue during their recess.
Senator Curtis favors such a plan.
and Representative Fordney, OF
Michigan. chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee. indorses it also.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-
kota, fayors the immediate repeal
of the excess profits tax at the short
session. He would substitute a tax
on gross sales.
Senator McCumber is now rank
ing Republican member of the Sem
ate Finance Committee. Senator
Penrose is chairman, but 1t win
probably be impossible for him tp
devote much time to revenue legist
lation because of the precarious
state Of his health. The brunt of
the work. therefore, will fall upon
Senator McCumber.

way to get them but TO work harder
for them. We don't produce enough
food. why7 Largely because working
hours have been cut down. resulting
in less food products and higher
prices.
When the American people realize
that = higher standard Of living Do
mands more hours OF work. I think
they will choose the high standard
rather than . lower standard with
fewer hours.
But 70 have men willingly work
longer hours the employer must make
better working conditions. They are
faos TO face with that problem now
They must choose between being fair
to their employees or granting fewer
hours OF labor
Il think that some organization
might come whereby the workman
gets fair share OF the products Of the
business IN which he and his employer

that he should share in the profits
