ATTEMPT TO KILL EBERT
Bullet Fired From Building Opposite
precidenfJc Peeidenea

Berlin, Feb. 25.-An attempt was
made on the life of President Ebert a
week ago, but the fact was suppressed
by the government.
Talking with the guards at the presi-
dents palace in WilhelmstraSse and
with tenants of three buildings oppo-
site, the writer learned at about 1890
O'Clock on the morning of February II
some person who had concealed him
self in the building almost exactly op-
posite President Ebert's residence, fired
several shots at the guard on duty there
just after Ebert had returned from a
social affair. One of the bullets pene
trated the guards helmet.
The building opposite was searched

anybody who might have fired at the

WILSON WILL RIDE
WITH SUCCESSOR
President and PTeSident-EIeC
Will Go to Capitol Together.

Washington, Feb. 25.-President
Wilson will follow the long establish
ed custom of riding to the capitol with
the incoming president on March 4,
under plans of the congressional inau-
%ural committee, approved by the pres
ident. This was announced at th>
White House.
Whether Mr.. Wilson will attend the
inaugural ceremonies has not yet been
made known. Should he do so he prob
ably will ride with Mr. Harding to
the White House, but if he does not
attend he will go direct from the
capitol to his new home in S street
These arrangements are in direct
contradiction to a report from st. Au-
"uStine, published here, which said
he president would not ride to the
capitol with Preddent-elect Harding.
Four troops of cavalry, numbering
$50 officers and men, will escort the
president and the president-elect to the
capitol. and then will accompany Mr.
Harding to the White House.
The plans of the congressional conr-
mfttee provide for opening of the pro-
aram with visit of the committee to
president.eleet Harding and Vice Pres
TSuEnt-eIect Coolidge at the WIZARD
Hotel. After this visit the party will
enter motor cars. and, accompanied
by the cavalry, will drive to the White
House. where it will be Joined by
President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson.
From the White House the process
sion will move over Pennsylvania ave
nue. to the capitol. There the presi-
dent and probably Mr.. Harding, will
enter the presidents room, where Mr..
Wilson will sign the bills passed in
The closing hours of congress.
After the new president has taken
the oath in the senate chamber and
has delivered his address, the guests
will proceed to the steps at the east
front of the capitol. where Mr.. Harding
will be sworn in. AS soon as he fin
ishes his inaugural address the new
president will depart for the White
House

cIings to Relief Work and Puts ii
Up to Harding to Pick His

New York, Feb 25.-In a statemen
regarding PresidGnt-elect Harding,
cabinet. Herbert C. Hoover said:
Il left it to Mr.. Harding to deter
mine whether he considered l can b,
Of more service to the public as sec
retary of commerce or carrying on

lie as Il private citizen"
He also announced he had put u
to MI. Harding a proposal for tn,
general reconstruction of the depart
ment and an enlargement of it's field.
Asked if he would enter the cabinet
if his views as to reorganization were
met, he said he had not put it up to
Mr. Harding in that way"
1T was not a question of take it or
leave it, =" he added.
Other considerations entering int,
the issue, Mr.. Hoover declared, con,
cerned the European relief admins
tratiOn. He had undertaken the re
Sponsibility Of directing the expendi-
ture of thirty or forty million dollars
III Europ2-mOneE contributed by the
people of America-and he must con-
tinue 10 have general direction over
that expenditure.
"As the department of commerce
stands today" Mr.. Hoover said, sit
consists largely of a group of scien-
titic bureaus which have only a remote
connection with commerce itself"
If he should accept the position he
say a way to make changes which
would make of it real department
of commerce.
The foreign commerce Of the United
States, he asserted, particularly in the
next four or five years, is closely
bound up with the prosperity and dc
velOpment of this country.
He believed many important changes
would he made without additional leg
islation. through re-allocation of bu
reaus- He expected, there will be a
general reorganization of the govern
ment with the advent of the Hardin"
administration"

Why Welcome Strauss?
Why Must This Particular Musician
Be Officially Received2

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIT: In a yesterdays paper I saw
an article headed "Mayor to Receive
Richard Strauss" and beginning,
Mayor Hylan is to receive at the
City Hall next Saturday noon the COM
poser Richard Strauss" andg further
on DIR. Strauss will be escorted from
mis- quarters at the st. Regis by a
motorcycle squad of police"
May l ask why the Mayor is receiv-
ing Richard Strauss at the Citv Hall ?
Also, why does Mr.. Strauss require an
escort! II he needs the protection of
the police because of his nationality.
then it seems highly improper for the
Mayor to receive him officially. which
visit at City Hall means. If the
police escort is guard of honor. then
why honor Mr.. Richard Strauss in this
way?
cannot recall that it is the custom
tor composers or conductors to be off,
caaily received at City Hall by the
mayor of New York. What the present
Mayor chooses to do in his or former
mayors chose to do in their private ca
paclty is quite another matter. do not
recall that Mr.. Mengelberg or Mr..
Coates was escorted down Fifth Avenue
last winter to make an official call on
the Mayor.
l can't help wondering what Marshal
Foch will think if he should happen to
see the little procession and should
happen to ask what it was, and some
one should happen to answer, 'Tt is
Mr. Richard Strauss, the German COM
poser and conductor, being escorted to
the City Hall to call on Mayor Hylan."

Edgar Allan Poe in Richmond

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of October 81 YOU
printed an article from Richmond. Va.
with the headlines: "Richmond in Con-
troversy Over Newest Poe Shrine.
Many Doubt Whether Writer Ever
Lived in House Designated as His
Home" There has been no such con-
troversy as indicated, and there could
be none, because no claims whatsoever
have been made that Poe lived in the
old stone house.
The close association of Poe with
this old house is formed by additions
to it and restorations made from large
portions of material from "The South
ern Literary Messenger" building, and
the Ellis & Allan storehouse, where
Poe was employed in his youth, as
we'll as parts from other buildings
connected with Poe's Richmond career.

mother died, and where he himself
lived, Notwithstanding the printed as
sertion that all such houses at Rich
mond had been destroyed.

sanship principle must therefore de-
plore the failure of the Republican
organization to indorse Justice Ed
ward h. La Fetra for third term.
1t is true that the Democratic or
ganization, when it saw chance,
ditched the non-partisan principle.
But Judge La Fetra was not respon-
sible for this lapse. The fault Of
others is not fairly attributable to
him. Moreover, when did the Re-
publican organization adopt the pol
icy of modelling its course on that Of
Tammany, being good only when
Tammany was good?
Having served two terms with
credit, a blow will be struck at the
independence of the judiciary if
Judge La Fetra is sent back to pri-
vate life when at the height of his
mental and physical vigor. Because
general judicial fusion was not ar
ranged this fall is no reason for
ignoring his special claims. He
would seem entitled, without regard
to party, to the vote of every citizen
who believes in taking the courts out
of politics. The test of true allegi-
ance to principle comes when irri-
tating circumstances urge that allegi-
ance be temporarily laid aside.
AS friend Of the non-partisan
principle in foul weather as we'll as
In fair, The Tribune cannot resist
the argument that Judge La Fetra
should be voted for as in fact and by
right non-partisan candidate.

Of them trying to be funny when he
predicted that the span Of human
life might be stretched to three hun
dred years. AS an expert in inter-
preting mortuary tables he knows
that ten years have been added to
the life Of the average man in the
last fifty years. Evidently he be-
lieves the normal age of men in the
coming days of properly conducted
living-perfect hygiene and all that
will mount and mount by small
accretions until the world is peopled
by Methuselahs.
Since the days Of the Old Testa-
ment longevity has been a lost art.
There have been centenarians not a
few whose ages were we'll attested,
but getting beyond ITO years it is
always "said" that this or that man
or woman was of some prodigious
age-it is not known. Even "Old"
PARIS 152 years have not stood the
test of critical examination.
1t is one thing to extend the av-
erage duration of life, as has been
done by the prevention and cure of
diseases that ravaged the race in the
past and by better sanitation in gen.
eral; it is quite another thing to
keep the human clockwork going
longer than it was wound up to 20.
which at the extreme limit the ex-
perlence of ages has shown to be not
many years over one hundred. It is
only the toughest members of the
lcngest-lived families-for longevity
is recognized to be hereditary-who
span century or near it. But there
is bit of encouragement for the
rest in the actuary's tables; they
may expect a few years longer lease
of life, at all events, than their
great-grandfathers had.

Nothing for Tino

Premier Gounaris of Greece, who
is visiting Paris and London, is re-
ported to have asked Lloyd George
for temporary loan to tide Greek
finances over until "the American
loan arranged during the premiership
of Venizelos again becomes opera
tive" Dispatches from Athens say
that Pridion Papafrangos, the man.
ager Of the Greek National Bank,
will start at once for the United
States to negotiate with our Treas
ury for the release of $33, 100000
in credits made to Greece during the
war.
Gounaris has all the assurance
Of his master, King Constantine.
Greece was an ally when the United
States offered her credit. But she
took herself out of that category
when she recalled Tino, a persistent
enemy of the Allied cause and a
secret agent Of William II, his
brother-in-law.
Greece determined to go her own
way after the restoration. She re-
jected the revision of the Sevres
Treaty, made at London last winter,
and decided to dictate terms of
peace with Turkey at Angora. Con-
stantine has made two costly cam
paigns for the Turkish capital. Both
have failed. Now he turns to the
Allied powers for diplomatic sup
port and money.
The American government had no
idea of supplying funds to Greek
government headed by Constantine.
1t has no idea now of paying any
part of the expenses of Greece's
military operations in Asia Minor.
All Greek claims on the Allies
were Cancelled when the Greek
voters summoned Tino back from
exile. He was an evil influence dur
ing the war. He has been an evil
influence ever since.
1t is useless for him or his agents
to try to tap the United States
Treasury for any purpose associated
with his continu.nce in power at
Athens.
