HAD FAT HIN LEAGUE.
Daniels Says Wilson Was Sure L. S.
Would Enter Rndy

CHARLOTTE, n. c., December %
P.-Declaring repeatedly that the
League of Nations will not die, Jose
phus Daniels. former Secretary of the
Navy, told an audience gathered at a
Woodrow Wilson birthday dinner here
last night that even to the end of his
life the late President had faith that
the league ideals for which he fought
at Versailles would eventually triumph
in America.
Mr.. Daniels argued in his speech
that. while adherence to the World
Court, which was sponsored by Pres
idents Harding and Coolidge. did not
compel American acceptance of the
league, yet the court had it's birth at
Versailles, and that If it's help were
invoked 1t might hasten the day when
America would hold that proud place
which Woodrow Wilson procured for
the taking"
Upon the occasion of my last visit
to the lame lion of S street," said
Mr.. Daniels, II ventured to read in
the election returns fear that Amer
lea would be denied entrance into
that assembly organized TO garner the
fruits of war. DO not trouble about
things we have fought said Mr.. VIII
son, and he added, 'Thev are sure to
prevail. They are only delayed And
then with dhe quaintness of express
sion which gave charm to his sayings
he said. And l will make this con-
cession to Providence-it may come in
better way than we proposed.

TRAFFIC CRUSH REMEDY.
1. C. c. Issues Order Aimed to Re
lieve Florida Congestion.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday issued a service order
designed TO enable railroads TO reduce
Florida congestion, which has brought
about establishment of embargoes on
ira ffic. Other provisions OF the order

Florida railroad congestion began
to become serious last August and

wise forced to adopt the same pro
cedure. The commission for several
weeks has had agents observing the
situation and finally summoned the

POLICE CHIEF
PREVENTS ATTEMPT
AT SUICIDE

AS George Gilman. aged &c. was
about to commit suicide by leaping
from the Ticonic bridge into the Ken
nebec river at 2 O'Clock Saturday aft
ernoon he was seized by w. T. Rey-
nolds. chief of the Winslow police, and
his life was saved. Gilman hac
climbed over the low railing on the
outer side of the street car tracks
which cross the bridge and was hang
ing out over the seething water GO feet
below with one knee on the edge of
the bridge and his hands firmly grasp
ing the iron railing.
Mr. Reynolds, who was standing at
the end of the bridge in Winslow, saw
the man climb over the railing and
ran to him as quickly as he could.
William Johnson, cashier at the Peo-
pies National Bank in this city, was
crossing the bridge at the time in his
automobile and he stopped and assist
ed Mr.. Reynolds. Gilman was consid-
erably irritated by the efforts of the
two men to save his life and he re-
fused to relinquish his tenacious grip
on the railing. 1t took some time to
get the aged man back onto the bridge
and his hands were painfully scratched
on the ratings. After he had been
rescued Gilman was taken home in
Mr.. Johnson's car.
Mr. Gilman lives with his wife at
the home of his son. Edwin L. Gull
man, at "a Benton avenue, Winslow.
1t has been for some time his custom,
on fair days, to visit the different
stores in Winslow and to stand on the
streets talking with various people. He
has usually been cheerful and has been
a welcome caller But during the las
few weeks his health has been poor
and he has been respondent.
Saturday afternoon he went to the
hardware store of Proctor e. Bowie on
the corner of Bay street and Clinton.
He stayed there a short time and ap-
peared to be particularly downcast,
and when he went to left his overcoat
behind, going Immediately to the mid
die of the bridge where he attempted
to take his life.
Mr.. Gilman has been a resident of
Winslow his entire life and has been
a farmer and carpenter
