WILSON PLANS TO eisTER
SECLUsloN AFTER MARCH q


Washington. - President Wilson
plans to go into virtual seelusion
for a time after March 4.
Freed from the responsibility Of
office which has weighed heavily
upon him during his conyalescence,
Mr.. Wilson, his friends say, will
shut himself in for a period of in.
tensive rest and quiet in the new
home he has purchased here. He
will deny himself to all callers ex-
cept immediate members Of his fam
lily, it is said, and a very few init
mate friends with whom throughout
his illness he has kept in contact.
No formal engagements of any char
acter are expected to be made by
the president until he shall have
thoroughly adjusted himself to private
life. after some 10 years of public
service.
For possibly six months, friends
of the president believe, his life
will be wholly taken up with recrea-
ton. His chief diversion since his
illness has been reading. He is said
to have practically exhausted the field
Of detective stories, Of which he
has always been especially fond and
more recently has taken up novels
and light stories. He also has given
some time to reading political and
historical works and poetry.

 "I DON'T REMEMBER

From the Selma Times-JournaL
 The testimony in the far-smelling Clara Smith Hamon trial abounds in T don't remembers" It is the cleverest legal subterfuge that has ever been in- vented to defeat the purposes of jus tice. Any witness can evade giving material information by simply saying, T don't remember" The witness is often schooled in advance with instruc- tions to fall back on this ready device whenever the question is couched in such a way as to serve the purposes of the opposing side.
 Judicial ethics classes bald untruth or flat misstatement of witness as perjury, but T don't remember is en- tirely permissible, although it is noth- ing but cloak to conceal some dam ming admission. Such twisting of the verjties is simply another manifesto tion of that fearful concoction of ab- surdities known as legal technology,
