 When the hearing was over, Carroll, with n flower in his coat lapel, was placed in a patrol wagon along With five other prisoners and taken to the Tombs to await trial in the court of special sessions. It was said the case will probably not be called until early next week, so the producer probably faces a weeks imprisonment if he per sists in his refusal to give bail.
 When Carroll arrived at the prison. he was told it was too late for the evening meal, and was given permission to send out for some sandwiches. He availed himself of the opportunity say ing he had decided not to go on a "huger strike" and remarked on the contrast between his lunch at noon today with Prince Antoine Bibesco and his dinner tonight in the tombs.

 For a few moments, Edwards seemed to forget his self-imposed role of silence and discussed his health with a press representative. He smoked cigarette with seeming pleasure. But with the mention of a lawyer, he became silent, holding his head in his hands as he said:

 It was entirely different at the other cell door. Milton and Owens both stated they were feeling fine. Yes, they had plenty of food and cigareets. They were happy. Owens and Milton both smiled when Milton was asked if he would plead guilty.

The outstanding news story of the week was.
without doubt, the one which shocked the people
of the nation-nay, the people Of the world. from
the life of Americas great war President. This
ticle appeared on page one of The Star of Friday,
February l. ~
For several especially prominent reasons l
deemed this story the best the week has produced
First, because this calamity is of great concern
to the whole world Our former allies-the British
empire, France, Belgium and the rest-revere the :
very name of Woodrow Wilson, while South Amer
lea looks upon him super-being Even here
at home-in America-people, however widely diff
ferng in politics, all accord him honor which is due
to him as of natures noblemen
Second, aside from concerning countless myr-
lads of people, this event has historical significance.
Years hence historians will record for this week,
not the tempestuous happenings in Congress- but
the fatal collapse of Americas twentyeighh Presi-
dent.
Third omitting the foregoing reasons, there
still remains another, which alone is vital factor
in this article. This is the composition of the story
ITSELF Besides telling concisey the history of Will
sons last illness, in subtle manner pathos has
been woven into the narrative of Wilson's last
fight, his vain struggle against death.
Therefore, for its interest to the world for its
historical Importance, and for its structure,
slider this article the beside which all others
pale into nsgnifcance.

Representative Fitzgerald of Ohio,

own legal experience showed the flu
tility of workmen seeking compenSa-
tion under the present law for in
juries received in the course of their
employment.
Representative Fitzgeral stated that

matters pertaining to diplomatic

The tariff commission has been di-
rected by President Coolidge to pro-
ceed with an investigation of the en-
tire vegetable oils tariff schedule.
March z has been set for the COM
mencement of the preliminary public
hearing on this subject. 1t is ex-
pected that it will take two years to
complete this investigation.
Applications for an inquiry into
the vegetable oil duties have been
pending before the commission nearly
six months, but an investigation has
been opposed from half a dozen
sources. Me mbers of the commission
apparently have been in disagreement
concerning an investigation, but
whether the instructions from the
President, which were made known
today, resulted from an appeal by
commission members was not dis
closed.

interests, including several large soap
manufacturers. They urged revision
downward under the flexible provi-
sfons of the law permitting a change
within a maximum of SO per cent of
the rates carried in the law in order
to obtain raw materials cheaper.
Those interests opposed to the change
claimed to speak for agricultural
producers, such as cotton growers,
who asserted that any reduction
would tend to injure the sale of cot
ton seed, an important by-product
