WHEELER WINS
INDICATION
BAT TIE
Supreme Court Wipes All
Government Charges
Off Books.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 90
Senator Burton X. Wheeler of Mon
tana today won his long fight TO have
all charges brought against him by
the government wiped off the books.
The District of Columbia supreme
court upheld the contentious of the
senator, who had already been ac-
quilted in Montana, that the charges
contained in a conspiracy Indictment
returned against him here should he
quashed. A demurred to the indict-
ment, filed by Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, Mr.. Wheeler's counsel, was up
held.
Along with the dismissal of the
Wheeler indictment, the court also
threw out the charges against Edwin
+. Booth, former solicitor of the In
terror Department, and Gordon Camp
bell of Montana, who were indicted
jointly with him. The men were
charged with conspiring to defraud the
government in connection with the OBJ
tanning of oil and gas land permits.
Today's decision leaves Senator
Wheeler free of all charges unless the
government should succeed in winning
IN appeal to the higher court. Whether
such step will be attempted was not
made clear, but the Wheeler counsel
expects no such developments.

AFRICA. Dec. 29.-CP-The health
of General John J. Pershing, at pres

by him to Washington is contem-
plated. it will be dependent entirely
upon the Tacna-Arica plebescitary sit

trail chairman of the plebescitary COM
mission.
1t is understood that General Persh-
ing during the past two or three
months has had in contemplation q
visit to Washington, but it is as-
serted in authoritative circels here that
any absence from his duties will take
into consideration developments here,
since he does not desire in any way to
hinder the proceedings of the commits
sion unless this is absolutely neces-
sary.
1t is understood that General Perish
ing's health is such as will enable him
TO continue full activities on the COM
mission. 1t is asserted there is not
the slightest ground for anxiety re-
garding him. In authorized circles,
there is silence regarding the rea-
SONS why General Pershing contem-
plates a return to the United States.

that they can await treatment later.

Horrors! British
Mattresses
Chen Gum

LONDON, Dec. 29.-CP)-Di.
rectors Of London tea rooms are
complaining that their shops are
being "Bolsheyized" by the great
vogue Of bobbed hair and Russian
boots. The ''Bolshevik" Influence
introduced through such features,
the managers say, spreads to the
manners of the waitress, and the
girls slop tea about and slide
biscuits and sandwiches before
their customers with an abandon
that upsets British ideas of ser
vice.
One large chain Of tea shops
has in contemplation the estsb-
lishment Of bonuses for extra
diligence" by mattresses. The
idea is not generally favored,
however, because it is feared
more money in their pockets
would increase the independence
of the "help." Some Of the girls
actually chew gum and smoke
cigarettes, just as their custom
ers do, the shocked directors
complain.
