}0NAB PLOT UNCOVERED AT COLUMBUS, ca
.arding Trying For International Parley
Woodrow Wilson
On SideIines of
Politics at G6.
BY HARRY HUNT
NEA Staff Enrrasuondenf.

WASHINGTON, Dec. '27.-f1is sixty
sixth birthday anniversary-Dec. Is.
1922-finds Woodrow Wilson again in
the edge of the political spotlight.
Whether that spotlight again will
swing to put the former president in
the center of its radiance is to many
the most engaging question before
America today.
There seems little doubt that Wilson
today is physically better than at any
time since his collapse in 1919.
Though his left side still is partly
paralyZed, Wilson now is able to stand
without his cane and he even walks a
few steps in his garden without its
aid. His color is better. He has taken
on weight.
Abreast of Affairs.
And there are evidences that his
stronger physical condition is permit
ting a more active following of nation
n affairs.
Wilson has been writing letters on
public questions-notably on the late
elections. Also his Armistice Day
speech to admirers gathered at his
home revealed he does not yet concede
defeat in the cause in which he sacri-
feed his health, and indicated his ex-
pectation that American participation
in world affairs would become the
dominating issue in 1924.
Wilson unQuestionably is the leader
of the Democratic party today. His
hold on the minds and hearts Of the
rank and file of his party has been
strengthened by his illness and by the
difficulties in which the world has
found itself the last two years.
Will Guide 1924 Policies.
It seems certain Wilson will lay
down the lines on which the Demo-
cratic party will attempt its comeback
in 1924 and that his influence on the
choice OF candidates will be most pow
erful.
But for his remaining seated" said
Georges Clemenceau after his recent
caH on the ex-president, ''he was the
same Wilson knew in Paris. Slightly
fatter. nothing else. He showed him
self thoroughly abreast Of affairs"

ROWING WOLVES
NVOUR BODIES
OF THREE MEN
Meagre Reports Tell Outside
World of Losing Fight by
Indians and Trapper.
(By Associated Pressl

PORT ARTHUR, Ont, Dec. 27.-A
rowing band Of hungry timber wolves
has devoured three men, according
to meagre reports sitting in today
from the snow covered trails Of the
Sturgeon river country. These re-
ports told of a losing battle fought
by two Indians after a white trapper
had been killed.
Last Saturday an elderly trapper
left his cabin in the woods 20 miles
north of Ignace for his Christmas
mail. He arrived in safety. There
was no mail. however, and the old
man said ne would come back Christ
mas morning. At noon he had not
arrived. The postmaster sent two
Indians to follow the trail until they
found him.
About two miles from the settle
ment Indians found a spot pounded
down in the snow and crimson -hued.
Bits of dog harness torn to shreds
were scattered about. In the midst
of them the Indians found human
bones. They hastened back to report
their discovery.
The lure Of the bounty OF wolves.
however. urged the Indians to take
the trail again with extra anmuni-
ton. They sped behind their dog
team into the woods as the villagers
waved good bye. They did not re-
turn.
Yesterday a new searching party
departed. They found another patch
trodden in the snow about two miles
beyond the first.
The two guns the Indians had car
ried were lying there and scattered
about were bones. bits OF clothing
and empty shells.
The carcasses OF sixteen dead
wolves lay stretched in a circle about
the trampIed patch Of snow.

Police Bafled
In Murder of
Brooklyn Girl

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-More than
Sc hours after they began their in
vestigation the police tonight con-
fessed themselves banled in their
search for a solution of circumstances
surrounding the death of Theresa
Mccarthy. 10-year-old school girl.
whose body with a 20 calibre bullet
through the heart was found in toy
Uttered room OF her Brooklyn home
yesterday.
The investigation sifted down to
the theory that the child was acci-
dentally shot by a playmate who had
been given a gun as a Christmas
present.
Powder marks on the clothing in
dicated that the shot had been fired
at close range.
More than 100 boys living in L the
neighborhood were questioned by de-
tectiYes in a search for one who might
have received 20 cailibre pistol or
rifle as Christmas gift.

UNEAS[NESS
Being FELT
ATLAUSANNE
Delegates Dreading
Fin al Reckoning;
British Stubborn,
Turkey Unset
tied.

LAUSANNE, Dec. 27.-Great un-
easiness is spreading throughout Near
East conference circles as the time
approaches when there must be a
final reckoning on A1l important Ques-
tions, which have been passed by with
only partial agreement or no agree
ment at all, between the Turks and
the allied powers.
Lord Curzon's positive announce
ment today that Great Britain will
not ccde Mosul to Turkey and does
not propose to discuss that question
further was the forerunner of less
positive statements from the other
delegations on various questions
which indicate the conference is
reaching a climax and that prepara-
tions are under way for d final show
ing of strength.
Meantime, Constantinople is be-
coming more unsettled every day and
Greece and Bulgaria are flOundcrinG
along under the burden of the miser-
able refugees who dread resump-
tion of hostilities between Greece and
Turkey.
The allied delegation returned this
evening plainly discouraged after
several hours discussion with the
TURKS on economic CdpiIuIdIAoilS'
The Turks made it clear that they
wanted the right to give preferential
treatment to their own lnanufact tur-
ers in the matter OF taxation and JUS
titled their attitude by saying it was
necessary to protect Turkish indus
tries. In other words. foreigners
would not only lose their preferen-
tial economic position which they are
ready to lose in the interest of equi-
ty, but meet Turkish competition
which would be strengthened by ex-
emption from certain taxes imposed
on foreigners. a complete deadlock
exists on the customs tariff question.

PROPOSAL IS
DISCUSSED IN
OPEN DEBATE
State Department Is
Maintaining Silence.
"Sounding Out" the
Other Nations.
-CRv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81,
The first official disclosure
that President Harding is ne
gotiating toward an interna-
tional conference for the con-
sideration of European eco
nomic problems was made by
Senator Lodge of Massachu-
setts, the republican floor
leader, during opening debate
in the senate today on the
proposal of Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho, for the
president to call an interna-
tional conference to discuss
economic conditions and dis
armament.
In opposing the Borah proposal,
which is in the form Of an amend
ment to the naval appropriation bill,
Senator Lodge urged that the presi-
dent be not embarrassed "in the eff
forts which he is now making
as a matter of fact"
Senator Lodge did not oppose the
calling of an economic conference but
said it would be carefully and strictly
defined with such questions as repar-
2tions, allied debts, and Immigration
specifically excluded, from considera-
ton.
The state department, which has
consistently maintained silence as to
any efforts of the administration
might be making in reference to i'm
proving economic and business condi-
tions in Europe, declined to add any
thing to the statement of Senator
Lodge but it was learned that Pres
ident Harding was considering seri-
ousIy transmitting a letter to the SEN
ate giving information of his nego-
tiations and at the same time deplor-
ing any intervention from congress
which might operate to hinder his
efforts.
1t is understood that through the
state department the president has
been sounding OUT several powers
regarding the desirablity Of holding
an economic conference. Whether the
proposed conference would be called
by or held in the United States or
whether this nation would be n par
ticipant were, however, important de-
tails not disclosed.
The Borah amendment was discuss
eG tOr four hours in the senate Sem
.a.o~s Lodge and Lenrott, republican,
Wisconsin, speaking in opposition and
Borah and Williams, democrat, Miss
issippi, in behalf of the proposal. No
action was taken on the question and
further debate went over until to-
morrow.
The opening debate on. the amend
ment developed the full force Of ad-
ministration disapproval for it as
drafted and also bipartisan support
and opposition. Administration lead
ers mapped out a program to defeat
he amendment on a parliamentary
point of order if possible, and on a
direct vote if the parliamentary point
should fail.
Republican and also democratic
leaders said they believed parIiamen-
tary point would be sustained and the
Borah amendment thrown out. The
republican leaders arranged, however,
to carry on the fight if the point
should be over-ruled and, as a last
resort propose amendments, il nee
essary, to prevent the reparations,
allied debt and other questions being
considered if the conference should be
called.

MYSTERY CLOUDS
DEPORTATION OF
W. UNIDENTIFIED
Alleged Revolutionary Agent

C3y Associated Press)

NEW. YORK, Dec. 27.-Wolfe Lin
denfeld,, alleged revolutionary agent
who was believed to hold the key to
the solution of the Wall street eX-
plosion mystery, today the United
States as a deportee on the steam
ship Estonia under circumstances as
mysterious as those which surrounded
his arrival here n month ago from
Poland in custody Of agents Of. the
department of justice.
Why he came here, why he was
sent back, what he told detectives
and Investigators who questioned him,
and what light he shed upon the cir
cumstances which led up to the eX-
plosion which rocked lower New York
one noon hour nearly 27 months ago,
were questions which officials OF the
department Of justice and immigra-
ton were unable, to answer.
Deputy Commissioner of Immigra-
tion Lands at Ellis Island said Lin
denfeld was denied entrance on the
ground that he was likely to become
public charge.
Lindenfeld himself refused to COM
ment on his deportation cling1ng to
the protective cloak of mystery which
had surrounded him since his arrest
in Warsaw a year ago when he made
A statement in connection with the
Wall street tragedy.
While under arrest in the Polish
capital Lindenfeld told various color
full stories of widespread communist
plots and described what he alleged
to be the story OF the Wall street
blast. But his revelations failed to lead
to tangible evidence and radicals
hailed him as a ''faker' and ''capital-
ist"' spy.
In February when Polish police
agents charged him with fraud, cables
from Warsaw said he had retracted
his statements. He disappeared from
the limelight only to reappare at
Ellis Island.

Vice-president Joseph M. Hurt of

Vice-president Joseph NJ Hurt of
the Association, himself large to-
bacco farmer Of Southside Virginia,
referring to the policy Of the Asso-
citation in an interview at Raleigh
headquarters, said "The successful
continuance of large scale co-opera-
tion with human and financial ele-
ments combined, requires more skill
full management than big corpora
ton which is chiefly financial. In
the corporation you lose sight of thte
human side, for you are dealing with
coin, and not with personality; in
successful cooperation we must take
the man as well as the product into
the Cooperative and here the human
element cannot be lost"
Comparing the growth of the CO.
operatives to the natural growth of
big corporations, President Hurt Of
the Association prophesied that an
effective combination Of human and
business organization in successful
co-operatives will be the great de-
delopment of the future to make
life in the country worth living.
