WHEELER'S RECORD
From the Boston Post, Lading Demo-
cratic Newspaper of New England

1t is time someone told the truth
about Senator Burton K. Wheeler, La
Follette's running mate.
Senator Wheeler is the same Wheel
er whom President Wilson refused to
reappoint as United States District
Attorney for Montana during the war,
on the ground that his continuance in
office "would be prejudicial to the
best interests of the country"
He is the same Wheeler, who, as
soon as he was elected to the Senate,
accepted from an organization seek
ing the recognition of Russia suffi-
cient sum of money to allow him to
travel in state to Russia and "inves-
tigate" the situation.
He is the same Wheeler who, with
in one week after his election to the
Senate, accepted employment at S10,-
900 year from the Campbell Oil COM
pany to act as attorney for them in
Montana. The sole assets of this
company were oil lands it hoped to Sc
cure from the United States govern
ment. Does anyone believe that Sen
ator Wheeler was hired for any other
reason than that he had been elected
to the Senate for six years?
Would Calvin Coolidge, Senator
Walsh or Senator Lodge have accept
ed such employment?
Senator Wheeler was barred by the
statutes of the United States from
appearing" before the Interior De-
partment on behalf of claimants for
oil lands. He did, however, see the
commissioner and arrange for an 'in-
terview" for his Montana client, Mr..
Campbell, that he might present in
person his claims for OH lands.
The Borah committee said this was
perfectly legal and that other senators
had done the same. But chat does not
make it any the less malUdorous.
1t would be prfectly legal, for in
stanct, for Senator Walsh to accept
a retainer of $4,000 a year from the
American Woolen company for acting
as its Massachusetts, attorney. II
would be perfectly legal for him to in
troduce the head of the company to
the chairman Of the ways and means
committee who had the framing of the
wool clauses in the tariff bill under
consideration. But can any Massa-
chusetts citizen conceive a high-mind-
ed man like Snator Walsh consenting
to be placed in such a situation? He
would reject such employment with
scorn
Yet Senator Wheeler had no scru-
Piles about the matter. He took the
job and the money.
He certainly is no person to talk
about "a high sense Of honor" II
what he did were honest and honor
able things according TO the Montana
standard. they are not so considered
in New England
The truth is that Senator Wheeler
like several others who have sprung in.
to sudden fame as friends of the peo.
ple," is bit slippery. Such mer
sometimes fly high, but none Of that
brand has ever been chosen to tbs
Presidency or Vice Presidency, nor !,

RADIO FUND APPEAL
HAS GOOD RESULTS
Many Send in Requests for
Tickets to Benefit Con-
cert Sunday.

Responding to Leroy Marks ap-
p paal for support of the Washington
hospital radio fund. broadcast from
WCAP last night, radio listeners and
charitably inclined persons literally
swamped him today with requests for
tickets for the concert of the combined
Army, Navy and Marine Bands, at the
American League Ball Park. next Sum-
day afternoon. The entire proceeds Of
the concert will be used to purchase
radio receiving apparatus for the hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions In the
District.
In the pile of mail Mr.. Mark found
on his desk was a check for SIS from
Secretary of the Treasury Andrew J.
Mellon for a box seat. Mr.. Mellon Is
the second cabinet officer to buy a
box seat for the concert. Secretary
of State Charles +. Hughes was the
first.
Must Sell All Seats.
Mr.. Mark points out in his radio
speech that every one Of the 10000
tickets for the concert must be sold
to assure the installation of radio
sets in the hospitals. charitable in
stitutions and orphan asylums. The
tickets are now on sale at all Peoples
Drug Stores for 81 each. The Mode
at Eleventh and F. streets, Is selling
the box seats.
Fifty thousand dollars will mot
be too much" for carrying out the
plan. Mr.. Mark emphasized. Nearly
2.4O0 beds are to be equipped with
headphones at approximately $15
each, or $4,000. he explained. Sixty
one other institutions are to be given
radio sets with loud speakers at ap-
proximately 5000 each. total of
$4,000. The balance will be needed
to employ an expert to keep the
equipment In order throughout the
year. This estimate on prices Is
based on special reductions grant,
ed by the manufacturers for the hos
pital installations
The exercises incident to the open
ing of the concert will be opened
with invocation by Mgr. c. F..
Thomas. rector of St. Patrick's Cath
olic Church Rev. George +. Dudley.
rector of st. Stephens Episcopal
Church, will pronounce the benedic-
tion.
Mr.. Mark expressed the hope today
that as a result Of his appeal last
night hundreds of volunteers will
come to the Church of Epiphany this
afternoon to procure tickets to sell.
Members Of Mr.. Marks committee
will be at the church from to 8
o'clock to give the tickets to the
volunteers.
Lets put this thing over big. right

School observation-disclosures
Test Under Fire.

The proposal to introduce the pIa-
toon or work-study-play system of
education at the Takoma Park and
E. v. Brown schools Is expected to
meet with vigorous opposition when
the board of education meets We'd
nesday afternoon to consider a plan
for relieving prospective congested
conditions at these two buildings.
School officials have prepared to
meet the situation by placing port
ables at each of the schools. Repre-
sentatives of the chevy Chase and
Takoma Park citizens associations,
however. have strongly advocated as
q remedy the institution Of the pla-
toon method, which was adopted at
the Park View School more than
four years ago.
Lack Space for System.
The fact that the platoon system
has not been extended from Park
View during the last four years shows
that school officials are not entirely
satisfied with 1t as a makeshift
There are number Of other dis
advantages, 1t was said, which pre-.
clude the extension Of such a plan
TO other schools. An assembly hall
and adequate play space are essential.
but not more than seven of the public
schools have assembly halls.

conducted in the schools of the second
division under the direction of Miss
Jessie La Sale, which has been i'm
pending for some time. also Is expected
to occur at the Wednesday session
Capt. Julius I. Peyser, progressive
bloc" leader of the board, supported
by Brig. Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief OF
the chemical warfare service of the
Army, and others, will lead the op-
position to the psychological tests.
All members of the board have been
furnished with q copy Of Miss La

nection with the case, today eatis-
fled Inspector Grant and Detectives
Ira keck and Charles Mansfield of
his complete innocence of any con-
nection with the fall and he was
released with the promise that he
would not leave the city pending
developments.
The story that Lust told the de.
tectives was corroborated by a num-
Der of men who called at the office
OF Inspector Grant this morning.
Lust, according to the police, stated
that he and Harry Levy, who Is also
connected with the motion picture
Industry. and Mrs. Laura George and
Mrs. Wilson had been riding in an
automobile Saturday night and drink
ing some wine prior to the accident
He stated that Mrs. George left the
party shortly before IL o'clock and
that Levy. himself and Mrs. Wilson
went to the Mather Building.
Says Woman Left P.rty.
Levy said that Mrs. Wilson went
to wash room after the three had
come up on the freight elevator, and
he walked to the front of the build
ing where he engaged in conversa-
tion with friends who happened to
be there. This was on the ninth
floor OF the Mather building At the
request of the engineer of the build :
Ing, Levy stated, according to the
police, he sent the elevator back to
the ground floor, where 1t was being
loaded with films. and that he couldn't
fasten the door. which Is a solid one.
The first he knew of the accident,
he told police, was when he was noti-
fed by the engineer of the building,
that the woman had been found on
the elevator at the ground floor. She
had opened the door of the elevator
shaft by mistake, 1t is believed. and
plunged headlong down nine stories.
The men who had been talking to
Lust in the front of the building at
the time of the accident, and the fact
that the cape and the pocketbook of
Mrs. Wilson was found in the wash
room. corroborated points of his ac-
count
Mrs. Wilson suffered from a fracture
Of the skull and internal injuries, as
well as from fractures Of the pelvis
and Of several bones.
Inspector Grant stated that he was
thoroughly satisfied with the outcome
of the investigation into the case,
and that he was positive that under
the circumstances the case as yet
was not one for action by the police
department.

in the hands of WI Pei-fu and his
associates for many months.
Stung by his humiliating defeat at
the hands Of WI Pei-fu about three
years ago when he attempted to in
wade Chill Province. in which Peking
is located, Chang Is known to have
been awaiting the present opportu-
nifty to engage his old rival in battle.
The situation Is favorable to Chang
as some of Wu's forces may be dis
patched to Shanghai section to aid the
invading forces. This would leave the
country around PekinE without its
normal strength to offer a defense
against the troops from Manchuria.
Proclamation By Chang.
Chang has issued a proclamation
concerning the warfare in the Shang-
hal district in which he declares his
purpose of entering the field against
President Tsao Kun and WI Pei-Fu,
chief military supporter OF the Peking
government. The proclamation says:
Despite the fact that the people
Of China are suffering from military
oppression, that nine homes out Of
every ten in Szechwan. Human,
Kwangsi and Kwangtung has been
picked bare and that in addition
drought and floods have affected more
than 10 provinces which are in a pit
iful plight, Tsao Kun and We Pei-Fu
with perverted minds are bent more
than ever upon showing their feroc-
ious fangs.
Not only have they shown no SYM
pathy toward the affected provinces,
but they are afflicting hitherto unaf-
fected regions with military calami-
ties. The wickedness of Tsao Kun
and WI Pei-Fu has accumulated
mountain high. They have bribed
members of parliament in order to
steal their present position. They
have destroyed the self-government
system and are trying to appropriate
tho remitted Boxer indemnity to their
own ends.
