health Is noted by DIR. Francis X.
Dercum. the celebrated Philadelphia
neurologist. who spent several hours
with the chief Executive. making a
thorough examination and sfterward
taking luncheon with him and Mrs.

DIR. percum concurred with DR..
Cary r. Grayson In the belief that
President Wilson will be able to go
10 the Capitol on. the forenoon OF
March 4. and perform SUCH duties as
devolve on him in connection with
the eleventh hour legislation. He was
gratified over the gain the Presi-
dent has made in the past few weeks
and believes that the RECREATION such
as attending the theater mas contri-
buted considerably to his improved
condition.
Unless there is some unexpected re-
lapse In the state OF the Presidents
hath DIR. Drcum will not visit the
White House again before Inaugural
ton day. He Is satisfied with the
progress the President Is making and
thinks that there will be no great
difficulty encountered In him carrying
out his determination to go to the
Capitol -.f
IL is expected that both DR.. Gray
, son and DIR. Dercum will continue to
minister to the President after he
leaves the White House. DIR. Grayson
has most intimate knowledge of all
tn ephases Of the Presidents illness
and condition and for that reason
naturally VIII continue his service re-

Tariff Bill Is Economic Fallacy Cummings Tells Club
 of So. California Democrats

theory that this was the best method to secure entrance into the League of Nations, the first conspicuous act of the present administration accent uates more clearly the policy of iiso- la,tion- The treaty with Germany, | which has been aptly described the ignominous postscript to the most glorious chapter in American history, demonstrates how far we have drift ! ed since the great days of the war. There can be no return to substantial prosperity until this sordid policy of isolation is abandoned and helpful policy of cooperation substituted. In this way only can the economic equil- ibrium of the world be restored. The pending tariff bill is another i1- 1 1ustraion of the economic fallacies i upon which Republican policies seem | to be based. At a time when busi- ness, industry and agricultural pros | foreign markets, the administration is deliberately adopting a policy which 1 will make international trade well nigh impossible. The revisions of | the tax laws which are now in pro- | cess of formation seem destined to
 remove some of the burdens from | the very rich with the resultant ne- | ceSsity of distributing these burdens
 over the great masses of our popu- | 1ation-
 | The duty of Democrats in this
 emergency is clear. We must recog- nize and insist upon scientific taxa
 tion. We must restate, with all the
 clarity and force possible, the funda- | mental principles of democracy, which
 are ever based upon the proposition | of equality of opportunity, and we
 must make it known that we adhere,
 now and always, to the proposition
 that America proposes to deal fairly with the rest of the world
 Let us not fall into the error which seemed to obsess Republican leaders l during the period when they were
 more concerned about winning a, po- al Tot | the honor of America. We are pa triots first and partisanS afterwards. 1 We must not put ourselves in their
 attitude of insensate opposition to all
 can leaders have brought disaster up-
 on our country and have seriously
 impaired it's prestige, these are con
 ditions of which we are all the vic
 alike It is the old story of the in
 nocent suffering with the guilty The
 great governmental machine has been
 run into the ditch and it is our busi
 ness to help to git it back on the
 right road again.
 Nor should we indulge an attitude of pessfmism- Our country is rich beyond all calculation We have an ergetic people. We have natural re- sources endless and varied, and the l vitality Of our country is such that it | is certain to survive even the mis- | management of insu1ar statesmen
 As for myself. I not only look for l ward to the future of our party with
 enthusiasm and confidence but as I | review the~ events of the past eight
 years, I take pride in the knowledge that belong to a party which pro l duced such great leadership, which | wrote into the statute laws of our country such effective remedial meas
 ures and which so spIendfdfy and tri- l umDhantly conducted the greatest war in which our country was ever involved.

Get Suspect For Murder Of
 Young Girl

Glen Ridge, N. J., Oct. 1o.-Franll Felice, 22, an Italian who claims New
 York as his home, was taken into
 custody in a small woods in Ridge
 wood avenue today. He was held,
 police say, in connection with the
 murder in Madison last Thursday of
 Janette Lawrence, whose body was found in Klexen's woods. The Italian
 was held up on order of Madison po-
 lice who say he was acting suspl- ciously in Madison last week. Stains were discovered on Fehce's s
 coat. The police said an effort ap-
 parently had been made to wash them
 out and they could not tell whether they were blood stains.
 For the present Fehce is held on a charge of lettering. The policemen who questioned him said he could not give a good account of himself and talked in an incoherent fashion. Madison, N. J., Oct 10.-The, de- tectives Investigating the brutal r11llr- der of little eleven year old Janette Lawrence today turned their atten- ton to the reports of wild" roughly | dressed strangers seen near the scene of the crime.

Sim Fein Minister Callines Reached
 London Today
Continued from Page One.)


 Ramon J. Duggan, Sim Fein mem Der of the British parliament, who, since the truce has served as chief iai- son officer, arrived early at the sec retariat for a conference with the other delegates. He said he had arranged to keep in close touch with his substitute as chief Haison officer of Ireland regarding the truce and declared that he had no apprehen- sion concerning it. Murphy, the substitute. he said, had served as 1iafson officer in Ath1one, where he behaved with discretion, no friction having arisen between him and the military.
 Desmond Fitzgerald, Sim Fein minister of propaganda, said today he expected the conference commenc- ing tomorrow would decide to issue an agreed communique daily, as was done when Ramon DeVaIera, the Irish Republican leader, met MT Lloyd George in London some time ago. If the British representatives have a stenographer present, he de clared, the Sim Fein delegates will claim a similar right, and brought
