HERR|N WITNESS
REFUSES TO TALK
Veil OF Secrecy Surrounding In
vestigation Is Drawn
Still Tighter
ONE MAN FEIGNED DEATH
By Associated Press


Marion. Ill.,. Aug. 3O.-The veil Of
the Grand Jury investigation Of the
llerrin mine war that took place June
and % last, causing twenty six ia
tailties, was drawn tighter yesterday
AFTERNOON. not even the names of the
witnesses being divulged.
This stringent action followed the
report that one witness had declined to
testify or answer questions put by the
members Of the investigation body. The
witness was turned over to the sheriff,
out given till this morning to recon-
slider his refusal, when he was again
called before the Grand Jury.
More than two score of witnesses
were called into the Grand Jury during
The day, the chief witness being Alton
j.. Findlay, of Chicago, n timckecpcr Of
the southern Illinois Coal Company,
the then owner Of the strip mine, who
was constantly guarded during his stay
in Marion.
Findlay was shot twice during the
massacre that followed the surrender
OF the mine employees. and only his
presence of mind in fcigning death saved
him from certain death, when the
'clean-up' squad of the mob went
over the battle-ground and found Find
lay apparently dead.
Findlay was the second man In line
when the death march" began, and
1t is understood that he furnished the
Grand Jury valuable information as to
the leaders Of the attacking mob.
Attorney General Edward j. Brun-
dage, who has charge OF the investi.
cation. announced today he will expe-
dite the investigation in view Of the
fact that the first two days of the in
quiry had already produced an abun.
dance of evidence.

is vastly more interested in it's

He realizes every day he drives it

This confidence-inspiring perfor-
nance, he believes, is the most de-
sirable and valuable quality in a
motor car-the quality which
nothing else can equal, and for
whose absence nothing else could
possibly compensate him.
He is quite sure that it is developed
to higher and more satisfying de-
gree in the Type 81 than in any
other automobile he has ever owned
or investigated.
Consequently, he is firmly and in
alienably attached to his Cadillac.
He considers Type 81 the greatest
motor car performer in the world,
and believes that its unequalled
dependability stamps it the worlds
greatest motor car value.

WILSON'S MEMORY
BAD, REED AYERS
Asserts He Would Not Tame.
Iy Submit to a Gross
Insult.

Asserting that formSr President
Wilson's recollection in regard to a
letter written to Senator Reed in
1913, regarding tha Missouri senator's
stand on the federal reserve system
bill was sadly deficient" in a formal
statement issued yesterday afternoon,
Senator Reed of Missouri, democrat
said:
Those who knew the amiable and
polite Wilson of 1913 will hardly
credit him with having personally
insulted a senator representing a
great state. however humble that SEN
ator may be. Those who know me well
will scarcely believe that I would
tamely submit to a gross insult. even
from so great man as Mr.. Wilson
was at that time"
Asserting Me Was Not Insulted.
In the published report of Mr..
Reeds statement yesterday afternoon,
it was asserted that the senator de-
clared himself to have been per
sonally insulted" by the former Presi-
dent. AS a matter OF fact. Mr.. Reed
was asserting that he had net been
inSulted by Mr.. wilson.
The controversy between Mr.. Will
son and Mr.. Reed arose over a letter
recently written to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat by The former. deny
ing that he had any recollection of
having written to the Missouri sena-
tor commencing him for his stand on
the banking bill.
ANY controversy with former Presi-
dent Wilson under existing circum-
stances is necessarily painful" con-
tinued the senator. But as,much as
j regret the necessity, L nevertheless
feel that the public is entitled to
know the truth. and the whole truth"
Senator Reed recalled the letter
written by Mr.. Wilson in 1913 to sus-
tain Mr.. Meriwether's contention that
the former President had CONNIE nded
him for his legislative service in con-
nection with the federal reserve act.
He added that in this respect Mr..
Wilson's recollection is sadly de-
fcient."
Helped to Make Changes.
MIR. Wilson, states that 1 opposed
every possible objection to the COM
pletion and adoption of the banking
and currency bill" Senator Reed con-
tinued. The fact is the principal
dispute between the President and
myself regarding that bill arose over
the question whether the financial
and business interests of the country
should be given the privilege of COM
ing before the Senate banking COM
mittee and express their views re-
gardinG the pending Legislation. At
this time the national banks were
almost in revolt. Many of them were

l insisted upon hearings.
LAS result. in the bill as it finally
passed the Senate only $50 lines Of
the original 1000 remained intact and
unchanged.
II helped to make these changes.
And when the bill came before the
Senate / defended it upon the floor.
After the bill had been thus amend
ed President Wilson pronounced it
the best piece of legislation adopted
in fifty years. The democratic cam
paign book of 1920 declares that the
bill was opposed by the republicans
and refers to it as being revised and
strengthened in the Senate committee
on banking and currency.
Mr.. Wilson declares that he told
me that 1 reminded him of an indi-
vidual who mounted, several horses
and rode off in every direction.
Again the former Presidents recol-
lection is in error Just as he has
completely forgotten a letter which
he did write. he remembers a con-
versation which never took place"
