Mrs. Wilson Sees
Country's Most
Noted Archives

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson spent more
than an hour at the State Depart
ment yesterday and for a time her
visit was shrouded in mystery
and caused considerable conjecture
among the few who saw her enter
the building. 1t developed later,
however, that the retiring First
Lady of the Land had merely called
in response to an invitation from
Secretary Colby to inspect the
archives of the department..
The Declaration of Independence,
the Constitution of the United
States and the treaty with Great
Britain which ended the Revolu-
tionary War were among the preci-
GUS documents Mrs. Wilson in
spected. They are exposed to view
only on rare occasions and it was
the first time in the memory of the
oldest attaches that the wife of a
resident has called to see them.
Mrs. Wilson's interest in the col
lection was aroused by Secretary
Colby at a luncheon in the White
House Wednesday. She expressed a
desire to inspect it and yesterday
afternoon the Secretary called for
her and with Assistant Secretary
G. Rowland Shaw personally con-
Quoted her through the usually for
hidden precincts of the department.

HARDING HOPES
BUDGET SYSTEM

Frear Says President

tiOn From Congress.
(By Universal Service. }

Prcsidcnt-elect Harding is hope
full that the extra session OF Con-
Gress to be called early in April
will not continue longer than July.
He made this statement to Repre-
sentative James A. Frear. Repub-
licar. of Wisconsin, who returned
yesterday from st. Augustine.
, Bill LIS Ready.
Harding also expressed the hope
that one of the first acts OF the new
Congress will be to pass budget
bill, said Frear. House leaders state
that the budget bill vetoed by Presi-
dent Wilson last year will be put
through practically in its original
form.
This means that the section Great
ing a budget comptroller subject to
removal only by Congress, TO which
Wilson strenuously objected, will
be restored. 1t is understood that
the leaders have been advised that
President-elect Harding will not Op-
pose the bill in, this form.
Opposes sales Tax.
AS a result of his talk with the
President-elect, Frear declared he
does not believe omnibus bills, like
the rivers and harbors, public build
ings and such measures, will find
favor with the next administration.
The principal object of the visit
by the Wisconsin member to st.
Augustine is understood to have
been to lay before the President
elect objections to the proposed
sales tax. Virtually all the Repub-
liCan leaders, including Harding,
are agreed that the excess profits
tax must be repealed, and the sales
tax is being urged as a substitute.

Posse Seeks Two
Murderers Who
Slew Teachers

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 17.-Deputy
sheriffs, detectives from the Clcve-
land police department and a posse
of hundred were securing Parma
township tonight for the murderers
of Louise Wolf and Mabel Foote,
teachers at the township high
school.
The two teachers were attacked
and then murdered by two men in
a secluded spot on Dea road about
a quarter of a mile from the high
school late Wednesday.
County commissioners in an in
formal meeting late this afternoon
announced that formal offer of a
reward of $500 for evidence of the
perpetrators of the double crime
would be made.
Thus far every clue has been
ended in a blind alley. The search
ers have brief and inadequate de-
scriptions of two strangers, rough
ly dressed, who were seen near the
Parma township high school short
ly after school closed Wednesday
evening. These men are described
as having been each about five feet
eight inches tall, dark in complex
weighed about $50 pounds and his
companion was about ten pounds
heavier.
The crime was committed between
400 and Sis o'clock Wednesday aft
ernoon. The bodies of the two wom-
en- were found this morning by two
of their pupils who were on their
way to school. Mute evidence of
the game fight that had been put
UP was apparent on every side.
Seemingly for more than, 200 yards
along the lonely stretch OF road
the women lad battled, but the
struggle was vain.
Robbery, apparently, was not the
motive for the crime. Valuable
rings still adorned the bodies of
the, dead. some loose change from
the handbag was discovered by
seerchers today, and a watch worn
by Miss Wolf was still attached
TO her wrist. 1t had stopped at
.5:15. it's handspring broken, indi-
eating, officers believe. the prob

A general offensive launched in

intent upon protecting their col

From a sense of faiN play the
