POINT IN SUIT LOST
BY AIRCRAFT MAKER

Justice Siddons of the District Su-
preme Court today granted the mo-
tion of the Manufacturers Aircraft
Association to strike out the second
amended declaration in the suit to
recover s51.500.000 damag ges filed by
James V. Martin, aircraft manu-
facturer of Garden City, Long Island,
who sued the association, and num-
ber of other companies and individ-
uals, including officers of the Army
and Navy connected with the air
service and with airplane manufac-
ture.
The plaintiff charged a conspiracy
to destroy his business by which he
claimed to have sustained a loss of
$17,000,000. He sued under the anti
trust law for three times his actual
damage and an attorneys fee of 10
per cent.
The court declared the allegations
of the amended declaration are so
vague. obscure and lacking in
definfteneSs that they wholly fail to
meet the fundamental reasonable re-
quirements of the law of pleading"
The plaintiff has been given every
fair opportunity to state case, the
court suggests, and the time has
come when further amendment should
not be permitted.

His Coat Mislnid,
Coolidge Insists
That 1t Be Found

There was some sudden and ex-
cited scurrying on the part Of
White House secret service at
taches today when President Cool
idge discovered, on leaving the
agricultural conference in the
Interior Department auditorium,
that he had left his overcoat be-
hind him.
His attention called to the miss
ing coat by one of the operatives
as the group was about to leave
the building, Mr.. Coolidge turned
abruptly to secret service man
and said:
Il gave it to you when I came
in. What did you do with it? 1
don't want to leave without it."
The Presidents tone and express
sion called for immediate action,
and the operatives standing about
lost no time in leaping en- masse
to the search. After a five-minute
hunt the garment was found on
the back of a chair in the audi
torium. Meanwhile the Executive,
his dignity apparently somewhat
ruffied, was pacing impatiently up
and down Secretary Works corri-
dors.
The customary Coolidge calm
ness was restored, however. when
the coat was rushed back, and the
President hurriedly left the build
ing.

ADMIRAL RODGERS
ON RETIRED LIST
Native of District Leaves
Active Service at Age Of g..
SchofieId Promoted.

Rear Admiral William L. Rodgers,
native of Washington. recently on,
duty at the Navy Department as a
member of the general board, was
placed on the retired list of the Navy
today by operation of law on account,
of age.
Admiral Rodgers was born in the.
District Of Columbia sfxtYfour years'
ago today and was appointed to the
naval service from California June
IL, 1874. Since then he has cruised
part in the Spanish war and the
world war. He has held the rank
of rear admiral since August. 1916.
In that year he was placed in COM,
maud of the train of the Atlantic
feet and shortly afterward was,
transferred to the command of the
Asiatic feet. which he held during
that he handled with great skill theI
delicate diplomatic si'tua ton created,
in eastern Siberia following the fail,
of the Russian empire. On the COM
pletion of that service he was re-
called to this city and served as pres
ident of the general board to date.
His grandfather. Rear Admiral Will
liam l.. Rodgers. served in the revo-
lutionary war and the war of 1872
and his father, Rear Admiral John
Rodgers, took an active part in the]
civil war. His retirement today
marks the first time in 100 years that
the Navy has been without a high
ranking officer of the Rodgers family

an agreement between Wilson and
Clemenceau regarding the occupa-
tion of the Rhineland. The docu-
ments in the case, which had been
in the hands of the British foreign
office unknown to Mr.. Lloyd George,
were sent to him yesterday with per-
mission for publication.
Mr.. Wilson's health, according to
Mr.. Lloyd George, began to break
in Paris in April, 1918. after he had
been subjected to foul" press at
tacks which the French unloosed
against him because Wilson was
adamant on certain treaty issues.
According to Mr.. Lloyd George,
President Wilson had yielded to the
French pleas that the peace confer
ence be held in Paris, and this at
tack was his reward.
1t was impossible, declared Mr.
Lloyd George, to place President Will
son comparatively with other Ameri-
can presidents. He was so unlike
Roosevelt that a comparison could
not be drawn. His prototype un-
doubtedly was Lincoln. but without
the emancipator's humanity.

DECLARES HISTORY
WILL HONOR WILSON.
Holt Lists Five Great Accomplish.
ments in War and
Peace.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


MIAMI. Fla, February 4.-Five
things Woodrow Wilson accom-
plished, any one of which would have
entitled him to be ranked among the
greatest men in world history.
That is the tribute paid today to
the dead war President by Hamilton
Holt, former editor of the Independ-
ent, world jurist and intimate asso-
ciate of Mr.. Wilson in all Of his work
for world peace. Mr.. Holt enumerated
! the outstanding achievements of Mr..
Wilson in connection with the world
war as follow:
First: 1t was Woodrow Wilson
who focused the Heterogeneous and
often diverse aims of the war on pure
democracy. which is nothing but
Americanism- AS a result a dozen
or more republics were born at the
peace conference.
, Second. Woodrow Wilson was the
constituted spokesman and decided the
position OF the United States in the war
formed the world that we would take
nothing Of territory indemnity at the
peace table. That elevated the United
States to the highest moral position we
or any other nation has ever attained
Third Woodrow Wilson was the
man who drove the wedge in between
the Hohenzollerns and the German peo-
pie, that resulted in Germanys becom-
ing republic.
.Fourth-woodrow Wilson enunci-
ated the terms upon which peace was
negotiated. AS a result peace was
negotiated at Versailles Instead of
being dictated at Berlin. Thus were
saved the lives of three-quarters of
mi
mans.
"Fffth-Woodrow Wilson was the
first man on earth able by his posi-
tion and by his vision to translate
the age-long dream of poets. proph-
cts and philosophers into practical
league of nations to substitute CO.
operation for competition in interna-
tiona1 affairs and to hasten the es-
tabiishment of peace and good will
on earth.
News of the death of Mr.. Wilson
came with particular poignancy to
others in this most southernly city
on the mainland Of the United States
One Of these was Edward T. Mere
dith of Iowa. former Secretary of
Agriculture under Mr.. Wilson.
Not only the United States but the
world suffers an irreparable loss said

stunning blow.
president Wilson wanted to do
something always for the betterment
Iof his fellow men, to save mankind"
he said. Il have often heard him say
he would gladly lay down his life If
he felt he could further this cause. In
the end he did sacrifice his life for
that which was nearest and dearest
Ito him. His faith never faltered."
Former Governor w. L. Douglass of
Massachusetts,, said: Woodrow Will
son did not live to see 1t, but firmly
believe the time will come when all
nations, our own included. will agree
to become united as one great family
to prevent, through q league of ma
tions, all future wars"
