WILSON SHOWS
IMPROVEMENTS;
WRITES much
Daily Routine of Former President
Is Revealed on Anniversary of
Breakdown

Woodrow Wilson fell a sisk man
two years ago on recent date. Since
then he has. passed under the shadow
of death and out of the White house
Mr. Wilson, besides following the
ways of a retired gentleman with a
lively interest in the worlds affairs
lives by the eight hour day. He aims
to have eight hours sleep, eight hours
for work and eight hours for relaxa-
ton, and keeps to the schedule pretty
fairly.
He will be IS years old next Deem
Der and has passed through an or
deal which few men survive. The mea-
sure of his progress toward health
must be measured with those facts
in mind. His normal weight in health
was $50 pounds. He shows little de-
parture from that figure now. His eye
sight is as good although he has dis
carded his nose glasses for spec
tacles. His hair has turned snow
white, but it has not thinned. His ap-
petite is too robust to please his pysi-
clans
Last March, when he left the White
house, an attendant had to place his
feet on each succeeding step from the
portico. The other day he sent his at
tendant away and climbed alone, not
withstanding some effort, into his
automobile.
He still walks with cane most OF
the time but frequently hangs the
crook over his arm and ''goes ii
alone"
Mr.. Wilson is far from a well man
he was far from a well man when he
entered the White house over eight
years ago.
There are many angles to Mr.. Viii
sons present day psychology. Living
in Washington and easy OF access tC
party friends at the capitol, he might
give consultation on party policies, but
he does not. He never permits any
one in his presence to speak what he
regards as "disrespectful of the pre-
sident of the u. S."
Mr. Wilson brought with him to the
White house the small savings Of q
lifetime, which he preserved. During
his terms in the presidency his roy
alties from books previously written
mounted into rather handsome sums
Singularly enough they. have shown a
marked slump since he left the White
house. While he was president circum
stances helped him save money.
1t has been estimated that the for
mer presidents poEketbook was al
least $4,000 richer because he was
not called upon to wine and dine nu
merous dignitaries and official persons
because Of the war.
Upon his modest fortune now he
lives simply, with an establishment
of only three sevants and a used car

Baby Goes to Jail
With Mother, Held
In Burglary Case
Note Links Brooklyn Woman
With Trio Having $500
Stock of Feminine Apparel
and Fine Burglars Tools

James Burke, Frank D. Branner and
James Donnelly, all of 353 West Twen-
ty-ffth Street, where they are said to
have had about $500 worth of wom-
ems clothing and an extremely modern
QUITE of burglars tools, were held in
$4,000 bail each yesterday in Jeffer-
son Market police court for cxamina-
tion Monday on charges of burglary,
illegal possession of revolvers and
carrying burglars tools.
One of the trio had in his pocket a
letter from Jennie Cottam, Of 433
Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn. SO the po-
lice arrested her, too, taking along
her nine -months-old child. .,ne was
held as fugitive from justice in the
Bridge Plaza police court, Brooklyn,
the police having been informed that a
charge of assault and battery is pend
ing against her in Hartford, Conn
The equipment OF her friends, the
alleged burglars, included an instru-
ment known as lock clipper, which is
one of the latest fads of the up-to-date
burglar. 1t is about two feet long and
combines the functions of a pair of
shears and a spring lever wire cutter,
the entire contrivance being so con-
structed that it can be thrust into a
kevhole and the lock cut away.
No such labor-saving device was
utilized by the burglar whose blunder-
ing awoke Wong Jing from daylight
nap in his Chinese restaurant at 8S
Eighth Avenue. The burglar was US
ing an ordinary pocket knife to cut
away the putty from the glass panel
in the door and the noise he made
brought Wong Jing who blew police
whistle Justify as he scrambled down
the stairs to the street after the fugi-
tive.
: The man jumped aboard a motor
truck. and Patrolman Dacey, of the
Charles Street police. station, who
boarded a taxicab, chased him from
Fourteenth Street to Jane Street down
Eighth Avenue, firing his revolver at
intervals to call the truck drivers at
tention to his passenger.
: After several bullets had whizzed
above his head, the truck driver de-
cided that he must be the one the
policeman wanted to speak to and
brought his vehicle to a stop. Dacey
then arrested Robert johnson, a negro,
who was on the truck and who was
identified by Wong Jing as the man
who had disturbed his slumber.. In
Jefferson Market police court Johnson
was held for examination on a charge
of attempted burglary.
Burglars took $4,000 worth Of furs
from the shop Of Z. Epstein E. Sons,
302 Seventh Avenue, to the jangling
tune of burglar alarm gong which
jazzed away merrily while they worked.

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-Thc coincidence
osnPremier Lloyd Georges return to
London last night from what started
tonbe a vacation and the receipt OF
tho reply of Sir James Craig, of Ulster,
brought rumors here to-day that Lloyd
Gdorge's resignation was imminent
These can be discounted, however. A
general election remains as possi-
bility in the background if the Irish
negotiations happen finally to break
down, but that point has not yet been
reached, nor does it appear to be
threatening.
Floyd George had arranged to re-
turn to London before the arrival of
the Ulster Premier's note, which is not
regarded as affecting Lloyd Georges
position seriously. Yesterdays Union
isf. meeting in Liverpool, at which the
British Premier's course was upheld,
must convince the Ulstermen that there
iss.no substantial backing in England
foT their policy of refusal to join in
the governments plan of settlement,
but the lesson may take little time
to. sink in
evsnt by the fact that Sir James Craig s
visit to France was postponed, because
hc'was suffering an attack of influenza,
which defers again his resumption of
his conversations with Lloyd George.
Meanwhile the Premier is expected
TO. meet the Sim Fein- delegates, who
have tentatively cancelled their week
cnd visit to Ireland in order to be able
to.attcnd if a meeting is desirable. The
Premier, who was in consultation with
several of his ministers this evening,
probably will discuss with the Sim
Feiners the request of the Ulstermen
for the publication of the correspond
ence. to which the Sim Feiners are not
likely to agree.
When Sir James Craig returns from
France he Will be summoned to meet
ing with the Premier, at which Lloyd
Gsorie will try to find a basis on which
the Ulster delegates can be called into
discussion of the whole situation.
The Premier is still anxious to go to
Washington before Christmas. but he
may feel compelled to appeal to the
country for mandate to carry out his
irish policy if his final attempt to
bring the Ulstermen to compromise
fails.

Sues to Recover on
Note Given Lobby
For Detective Bill
Commission Merchant Asks
$4,000 From Patrolman
and Indorser; Paid When
''Boys Wanted Money

An echo OF the detective bill slush
fund revealed before the Lusk legis-
lativc committee was heard in the
Supreme Court yesterday in a suit
brought by Charles L. Shotwell, COM
mission merchant, of 522 Fifth Avenue,
to recover on q note for $4,000, one of
four similar notes made or Endorsed by
friends Of the detectives who were to
benefit by certain legislation at Albany
The note Shotwell is suing on was
made by Thomas H. Conkling, q patrol
man, and Endorsed by Charles H. Baden
berger, Of 406 East Thirty-seventh
Street.
The bill which the detectives were
interested in having passed was to
make them practically irremovable
from the police force. Jack Kleist, it
is alleged, was to act as lobbyist in
putting through the legislation, which
was to be facilitated by the use Of
$4,000 fund.
Thomas H. Conkling, a patrolman,
testified before Justice O'Malley yes
terday that he had several talks with
Shotwell as to the need OF fund for
the passage of the bill. He said he
told Shotwell that Kleist was to under
take the work for fee Of $4,000, but
that if the lobbyist failed to have the
measure enacted the notes that we're
to be given would not be negotiated.
Conkling testified that Shotweli said he
would advance the money if he had the
notes as security. Conkling made the
note.
Badenberger testified that he gave
the note only as collateral and with
the understanding that it was not to be
negotiated until the detective bill was
passed. Some time last April, he said,
Shotwel telephoned to him that "the
boys want some money" Badenberger
said he replied: "Do not give anything
on that note, for if you do you will do
it on your own responsibility" Baden
berger added that the money was for
the specific purpose of having the bill
passed and that he was told all money
for expenses would be paid out OF
funds Of the Detectives Association.
The trial will be continued Monday

BY Daugherty
Attorney General Holds Opin-
ion in Newber1ry Case Cam
cells Most of Corrupt Prac-
tices Act for Congressman
Can Spend All They Wish
Representative Must Still
File Statement, but Sena-
tor Is Exempted, He Holds

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. l8.---Littlc Is
left Of the corrupt practices act in 80
far as it governs the elections Of mem
bers Of Congress, Attorney General
Daughcrty decided to-day in an opin-
ion on the effects of the Supreme Court
decision in the Newbcrry case.
This far-reaching ruling, which is
regarded by some as the prelude to
drastic action by the Administration
in revising the act, is contained in a
letter received to-day from Mr.. Daugh-
erty by Representative Robert Luce, Of
Massachusetts, chairman of Committee
on Elections No. 2.
All restraint on the expenditure Of
money by candidate for the Senate
is removed by the opinion, it was de-
clared, and the maximum which was
imposed on both Senators and Repre-
sertatives is destroyed, except where
the total amounts are controlled by
state laws. The maximum which may
be spent for nomination and election
to the House is now $4,000. For the
Senate it is $4,000. A Senator will
not even be required to file statement
of his primary expenses, the Attorney
General holds. This would, however,
be virtually the only restriction upon
a member of the House.
Unless legislation replacing the in
valuations growing out Of the Daugh-
erty ruling is enacted before the cleo
tions next fall, there will be nothing
to prevent the squandering of limitless
sums by candidates for either the Sem
ate or House to obtain nomination and
election. While, under what Is left of
the Corrupt Practices act, it will be
required that representative make
statement of his expenditures during
campaign, there will not be even that
restriction upon a Senator.
at is my opinion that the Newberry
decision should be construed as in
validating all of the provisions Of the
act referred to relating to nominations
for the office of Senator or Representa-
tive in Congress, whether by primaries,
nominating conventions or by indorse-
ment at general or special elections" ;"
said the Attorney General. IL am also
OF opinion that as to the statements of
receipts and disbursements to be filed
by candidates for the Office of Repre-
sentative in Congress under Section s
OF the act, the only provision now in
force and effect is the one which re-
quires such statements to be filed in
connection with election of such can
didates.
AS, United States Senator'S are not
now elected by legislatures of the
states as contemplated in the act, it
it my opinion that this fact in con-
nection with the holding in the New
berry decision makes it unnecessary
for candidate for United States SEN
ator to file any statement whatever in
connection with his nomination or cleo
tion"

Marines Rifle Routs
Suspects Trailing Mail
.Taxis Attempt to Close in on
Truck Near Scene Of the
Broadway Robbery

What is believed to have been the
frst attempt to hold up registered mail
in Manhattan since the 100000 rob
berry was checked by the presence OF
an armed and uniformed Marine sit
ting beside the driver Of mail truck
which left City Hall Station just aftef
midnight yesterday morning. Or
Broadway near the scene of the last
hold-up two taxicabs twice maneuvered
in such way as to give the impression
that they were attempting to block the
truck. In each case the Marine had tc
threaten to shoot before the cars re.
sumed their normal course.
AS the mail carrier drove north past
Howard Street the two cabs came ur
from behind, one on either side and
both some distance from the truck
they gradually closed in, and the mail
driver, noting the move, slowed down
When the taxis in turn lessened their
speed the Marine ordered them to move
on, shouting that otherwise he would
blow them apart.
The cabs repeated the same tactics
at Spring. Street. Again the Marine
threatened to shoot. This time instead
of resuming speed up Broadway thew
turned into side streets, one going te
the right and the other tosthe left,
CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Two mail train
riders have been shot in the last six
days by marines guarding mails sen,
from Chicago, Arthur S. Brauer, super.
intendent of the Railway Mail Service
announced to-day. One was shot al
