WILSON GRIPS REIN
AS PARTY'S LEADER
CONTINUED from First Page.)

wilson. however, hasn't prevented
either' Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Cox from
regarding himself as the leader OF
the democracy. But the truth of the
matter Is that neither one stands
we'll in the graces of Mr.. Wilson
when leadership is involved. There
is every reason to believe Mr.. Cox
and Mr.. Wilson, for instance, are on
good terms. The speeches of Mr..
Cox recently have been right along
the same lines as Mr.. Wilson has ex-
pounded, particularly with reference
to the league of nations, but it is an
open secret that Mr.. Wilson has look
ed askance at what he has construed
to be an attempt to grab the leader
ship of the democratic party on the
part of Mr.. Cox. At the same time
background is current to the effect
that Mr.. Wilson's present ideas on
his leadership. of the party have a
relation to what occurred in the
my stifying days of the last demo-
cratic national convention at San
washington and declined to. permit
his influence to be used in behalf of
any candidate.
The story is that Mr. Wilson wanted
the nomination for a third term as a
compliment; that he realized he was
physically too weak to continue the
arduous tasks of the presidency in a
third term, but that he felt he, ought
to have been nominated and thus be
given an opportunity to decline the
honor. MIR. Wilson is represented by
his friends as having felt that he had
earned the compliment and that his
party should have recognized it.
Enorts Of Burleson.
Former Postmaster General Burle-
son, who went to San Francisco, is
credited with a knowledge OF Mr..
Wilson's wishes. but was unable to
influence the party leaders to pay
the compliment.
Now that Mr.. Wilson is cut Of office
he feels the same-namely, that he
did enough for the democratic party
t3 er1title him to lead. He wants to
emeritus and that the others in the
party should follow him, No one be-
lfeves Mr.. Wilson wants to run again,
though 1t would not be surprising il
his return to health should stimulate
him, in thinking he could make the
race.
For many months; .fncidently, the
wave Of sentiment in the direction of
wisconsin on the part of. democrats,
who left the fold in 1890, has been SO
encouraging to Mr.. Wilson that his
friends say he believes sincerely the
tide has turned, again, and that he
Is being vindicated. The tone, Of his
recent letters on political subjects
has been pointed to as an evidence of
Mr.. Wilson's unbounded enthusiasm
to participate in some way In the
next political fray and that he will
take conspicuous part In the con-
gressional campaign before many
weeks have passed. Whatever any
one else may think OF Mr.. Wilson s
political influence with the country,
the former President himself thinks
1t is undimished, ss

Regarding the charge that NJ.
Bakhmeteff had not turned over all of
the American loan to the Kerensky
government Mr.. Borah declared that
a priest of the Greek Church was
ready to testify before the labor COM
mittee as to the investment. of some
of the funds in New York and Chicago
real estate. The information which
Mr.. Borah had, he said. was to the
effect that property was in the hands
of holding company which was or.
ganized by NJ. Bakhmeteff for that
purpose. The income, he assumed,
went to NJ. Bakhmeteff.
Senators Pomerene. democrat. Ohio.

Then if this money was invested

The Idaho senator declared 1T was
Uncomfortable" that there could be
an ambassador from Russia here
when there has been no recognition
Of a government in that nation. He
added that the only record he ever
could find was one showing that NJ.
Bakhmeteff had been ordered to

but said that apparently the State

NEGRO HAS RIGHT

DR.. III. A Talley of Pennsylvania

National Race Congress this morning
in the Vermont Avenue Baptist
Church that the American negro
would do anything for his country,

We are not asking for any special
legislation. said DR.. Talley, for we
have laws enough to protect all
Americans. but We do want what we
have executed. There should not be
in a common country laws for white
ana laws for blacks. but one for all.
Why should it be necessary that laws

WORK ON CONDUIT
MAY START JULY |
Construction to Begin If Con.
ference Bill Is Ap-
proved.

Work on the new water conduit
from Great Falls will begin July
If the District appropriation bill is
finally approved as it came out of
conference, Maj. NJ. c. Tyler, engineer
officer in charge, estimated today
The bill as agreed upon by the
conferees appropriates $500, 600 for
the new water works and authorized
the Secretary of War to make con-
tracts for an additional $1,45o,ooo to
be appropriated later
The first big operation, Maj Tyler
said. will be to construct the conduit
from Anglers Club. just below Great
Falls, to Dalecarlia reservoir, dis
tance of seven and one-half miles.
This will take all Of the million and
a-half expected to be appropriated
and part of the additional sum au-
thoriZed.
:. To BE Made Of Concrete.
The old conduit is of brick con-
struction, but the new one will be
of solid concrete masonry. The old
tunnel is circular in shape. but the
new one will be in the form of a
horseshoe.
Maj. Tyler explained that the
horseshoe shape not only permits the
passage Of a greater volume of water.
but gives the conduit better bearing.
The. engineer Office has already
moved large section of the Cabin
John tracks of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company nearer to
the river to make way for the new
conduit. which will, for the greater
part of the distance. parallel the old
| one on the south of It,
A great pile Of blueprints have been
completed in Maj. Tyler's Office and
specifications, on which contractors
will be asked to bid also are ready.
AS soon as the appropriation bill is
signed by the President. if it still
contains the water item. bids will be
advertised The law requires that
the letting of the contracts.
Conduits to Be Joined.
The new and the old conduits will
be connected at three points on the
long trip from Great Falls to George
town by cross sections. so that one
third of either tunnel may be closed
at time for examination or repairs.
AT the present time, with only the
single supply line. 1t is impossible to
close the conduit for extensive repair
work.
The entire psoject. calling sfor a
total Of more than $S,080,0OO. includes
filtration plan and pumping station
at the District line; two new reser-
voirs, one in Georgetown and one
near = the bureau Sof standards. and
pipe lines from those reservoirs to the
city mains.
If Congress makes an additional
appropriation next year, Mai. Tyler
said, it undoubtedly will permit the
construction of the filtration plant
and pumping station.
As the District bill stands today
Washington Is nearer to obtaining
its long-needed additional water sup
ply than it ever has been. and the
civic organizations of the city are
hoping eagerly that the decision Of
the conferees on the water question
will not be changed before the bill
becomes a law.

Hartwell drove Houston from the
house and forbade his sister to
see him again. Calm was restored
to the household; Houston had ap-
parently deserted the neighbor-
hood. Then it dawned on the
brother that -his sister had been
meeting her sweetheart in secret.
The married sister. who had been
cast out by the family. opened her
doors to the couple as trysting
place. At other times the two
would meet in the orchard.
One day in January their tryst
was interrupted by the sudden ap-
pearance of Hartwell,. The brother
had seen the two embrace. He was
furious. Frightened. Alice fled to
the house. A moment, later; shots
; were heard: When HaEtwen Ee-
turned to the, house he told his

lieved her fiance had simply been
driven away by the shots. 4.

to get Farwell. Alice heard them
ask her brother about a chsrred
corpse pulled out of a flaming
haystack at Portage. Farwell re-
solutely, maintained he knew
nothing about the matter. Alice
