RepubAcans Hold AH Points; Fear Easter Riots
y0hn Smith; Boy SlUindler; Identified By His Fatter As Leon Redner, Trenton, ~. J.
Serious Charge of Using Mails to Defraud Expect ed to be Lodged Against Young Man Thought to be Mental Delinquent.

With the arrival today at police headquarters of John Smith's'' father the mystery as to the identity of the youthful swindler who was taken into custody Thursday night and which has kept the police guessing for some time is believed to be cleared up.
 According to the information given by the father, the boys name Is Leon Redner. from Trenton, New Jersey. His father, at the present time en- gagged in getting bonds for the boy, is and real estate dealer in Trenton.
 Boys Age in Doubt.
 At the present time the police are in doubt as to the true age of the boy. When arrested he gave his age as twenty-one. When confronted by his father this morning he stated that he was but IT: His father claims that be is but Is.
 A detailed investigation of the case is being pushed today by the detective bureau. A quantity of miscellaneous articles obtained by the boy through his swindling practices are now To- cated at Police headquarters. Yester- day a set of encyclopedias and two brand new typewriters were located in a local pawnshop.
 Used Mails Fraudulently.
 United States postal authorities are also checking up on the activities of the boy in conjunction with the local police department and it is thought probable that the postal authorities will ask that he be turned over to them after the police have disposed of his case so that he might answer to a charge of using the mails to de- fra fd.
 As far as could be learned today he is not believed to have any prev ious police record. Where he got his uncanny knowledge of the art of swindling is another mystery He claims that he got the groundwork for his unsuccessful scheme from reading books. His actions when ar rested, in refusing to talk without an attorney, and questioning the right of the police to take his picture until he had been convicted of a crime do not seem to bear out his assertion that he

BY GEORGE R. HOLMES.

Washington, April 15.-wil1iam Gibbs McAdoo expects to be can didate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency fin 1924.
 Back of that simple fact, already we'll known to Democratic leaders causes for Woodrow Wilson's spec tacuIar break with Joseph P. Tumul- ty, for 12 years his secretary and most devoted follower, according to neutral Democrats today.
 The manner in which the innocent was presented to the Jefferson Day banquet by MT. Tumu1ty created the impression, Intentionally or otherwise, that the former president was en- dorsing the re-nominatton of ex-Gov- ernor James NJ. Cox It was the de- sire of MT. wilson to scotch this impression quickly and effectively rebuke his former secretary for pre- suming to speak for him politically and at the same time 'even up" an old score, which his long illness had heretofore prevented
 TuInuIty Silent.
 MT -Tumulty had nothing to add to- day to his statement that he was sin cerely sorry for the misunderstood ing that had arisen between himself and his former chief MT. Wilson like wise had nothing more to say. The street was even more pronounced than usual Friends of both men said the matter could be considered a. 'sclosed incident" It continued, however, to be the political sensa- sation of Washington.
 Some of Tumulty's friends attri- buted the sensational action of the former president today to the 'petu- lance of a sick man. At the s. street home, however, inquirers were in

Board Of HeaZth Refuses To
 Pay Salaries or Hygienists
 Employed M Pdrish Schools
Miss Catherine Poland and Miss Margaret Wilcox, Turned Down by Dr. William H. Coon and President Zepp of Health Board.

Sulk1ng in their tents. the Board of Health repudiated today the work of dental hygiene in the parochial schools, and refused to pay the sal aries of Miss Catherine Poland and Miss Margaret Wilcox, the two girls who for two weeks past have been carrying on the work of dental hygiene just as they have for years past. Miss Poland has been in the work for eight years.
 ''NO Official Notice"
 The girls went to the usual place to get their checks and found the door locked They sought out Dr. Coon they, saying he had no official notice of their work.
 They went to William R. Zepp, president of the board. He repeated what Dr. Coone had said. He ad- vised them to get out of the work in the parochial schools, leaving the in- ference that they would not be paid He said that they had not been ap- pointed to do the work.
 The young women replied that they had been many years in the service. that they were doing their work as usual under the direction of Dr. Tones, that they had never been in formed they were not to do the work. This is their story of what took place.
 Notice Was Given"
 Dr. Fones said to a reporter of The Times: 'In the usual way I sent a letter to Miss O'Hara, secretary of pr. Coon, enclosing acquisitions in form for the pay of the work in the parochial schools. Miss O'Hara wrote me that the matter must be taken up with MT. Zepp. I wrote to MT. Zepp, and that letter was duly received by the Board of Health. Undoubtedly official notice was given"
 Asked what will be the next step, pr. Zones replied: That will be taken in due season. It is necessary that the lines shall be sharply drawn. While I am willing and anxious to continue this work in the parochial schools, doing it freely as I have al- ways done, giving as much of my time and energy as may be necessary, the Health Board has been indulging ap- parently in lip service.''
 Dr. Tones refused to say what the next step will be. but he appears to be certain that the parochia1 schools will be taken care of, as long as they want the service and are willing to receive 1t.

Contract Upheld
 By Court Ruling

A contract is a contract, and means something more than d mere scrap of paper" according to Common Pleas court decision handed down to- day by Judge John J. Walsh in the recently heard case of T. J. McNa- mara and Sons, versus Guiseppi Fris- co, all this city. An agreement was made between the plaintiff, jobbers in flour, to sell 100 barrels of the stuff from which they make bread and shortcake, to the defendant, fer a stipulated price. Barrels to the number of 30 were delivered, accepted and paid fer.
 Subsequently the defendant refused to accept the balance of the flour 7C barrels, treating the contracts as a mere nothing The court decides different and Judge Walsh returned a Judgment in favor of the plaintiffs to collect s175. Damages of $500 had been sought A contract is con tract.

 It is the gossip of inner Dem ocratfc circles in the capital that McAdoo's sudden removal of his official resi- dence from New York to California is closely connected with his presi- dentia1 aspirations in 1924, and that two years hence he will have the sup port of his father-in-law, which was lacking in 1920. He is said to have wanted to get "as far as away from Washington as possible in the mean time
 MT. Wilson kept hands off, in 1920 but according to his close friends he was t'very well pleased when the San Francisco convention selected Cox instead of William Gibbs McAdoo.
 Eyes on 1924.
 Sick though he was, and desirous of endorsement of his pet policies he nevertheless had political acumen enough to see that his cause was lost in 1920, long before the election. and he did not desire to see his son-in- law go down in the Democratic crash of that year. He had his eye on 1924, are to be believed.
 Also. it was pointed out today, Mo Adoo's nomination in 1920 would have led to the cry from the enemy petuation of the dynasty" This would have been distasteful to both men, personally, as we'll as politically.
 This, too, will have disappeared by 1924, according to the Wilsonian Democrats. Both MT. Wilson and Mr. McAdoo are keeping aloof from party squabbles at this time. even though their friends are not.
