The speaker was one Of the most
distinguished members of the faculty
of Yale University; the time, twenty
five years ago; the place. farm In
the Connecticut hills. 1 had stopped
for a day to pay my respect to the
eminent scholar and naturally he
asked me about Indiana men who
had sat under his teaching.
That word "sinewy" has remained
with me. as a happy characteriza-

My grandparents were friends of his
grandparents in Marion County
many years before the Civil War.
Both his father and mother were
country-born and country-bred
Evans was his mothers family name.
Both Evans and Woollen are names
scattered far back through the rec
ords of pioneer Indiana.
Earned His Way
I have been amused to find in the
Republican press references to
Evans Woollen as a banker and a
capitalist with the implication that
he Is to be counted among the
spoiled darlings of the rich. Every
nickel he owns has been earned by
his own exertions. He took his col
lege course partly on borrowed
money and the rest he earned by tu-
toring and doing other jobs In his
vacation. Both his father and
mother were endowed with unusual
mental gifts They were net bent
upon money making but lived for
the better things Of life. plain liv-
ing and high thinking" was the rule
of the Woollen home.
Woollen struck hard shedding
when he came home from college
but he turned himself diligently to
the business Of trying to make a
place for himself in the world. The
law was his goal, but his needs were
immediate and urgent. He took such
employment as offered and some
times carried on several jobs at once.

Rev. A. P. Rem Offers to De-
bate Truths With
Senator.

"They were all out of step but
Jim
With these words the Rev. A. P.
Rem of North Vernon, scouts the
assertion of United States Senator
James f. Watson that he and other
witnesses in the Reed investigation
deliberately lied" about the Hoosier
legislator.
Rem, former Ku-klux Khan
evangelist, today issued statement
offering to meet Watson at some
public place and submit to question
ing by the Indiana Senator if the
latter will permit himself to be
examined regarding the truthfulness
of testimony at the Reed hearing.
z Under oath before Senator James
r. Reed, Rem testified that before
the spring primary when he was
candidate for the Congressional nomi-
nation, Watson promised support of
s Watson the Khan vote of Renn's dis
trict.
I'VE find Senator Watson, the
George Washington of our day, say
ing to the public, I cannot tell a
lie Does he realize how many wit
nesses in this probe he has branded
liars?" Rem asked.
Solemn Duty
"He has the nerve and the audaci
ty to say to the public, Only 1 am
right and this great mass of wit
nesses Is wrong

to summons sent me by Senator
Reed. I felt it my solemn duty to all
citizens of our great State to tell

II had been warned by stanch
Watson supporters, and men who
claimed to be on Mr. Watson's pay

political suicide to me. I testified

heart toward Senator Watson or any
one else. IF the truth hurts | can.
not help that.
II am deeply grieved to think the
Senator is confined and not able to
answer me in public debate. The
good people and especially the voters
of the State of Indiana have a right
to know who has really lied
Ready to Meet Him
My last proposition Is that shall
at this time declare my willingness
to meet Senator Watson publicly in
Cadle Tabernacle, Tomlinson Hall or
any other suitable place, and submit
myself to a rigid examination by him
personally concerning the truthful
ness of my testimony, provided he in
turn will permit me to question him
In the same manner.
Senator Watson has said he never
had but one conference with me, and
that after the primary. Will he

The speaker defined the issues as:

prevented him from closing the cam
paign in his home town.
Bert Morgan, manager of the
Adams primary campaign, said the
Watson organization forced Adams
to conform to the custom that stipu-
lated the defeated candidates should
aid his opponent.
However, it was noted that the
Watson machine failed to accord
Adams the courtesies OF the defeated
candidate during the c. o. P. State
convention. No one asked him to
move formally the nomination of
Senator Watson at that gathering, a
custom that has prevailed for many
years in the Republican party.

Woollen is a Democrat by convic-

1t would have been much to his in

Republican. But his ideals led him

bank employed him because of his

took his place in the bank he' had
only enough stock to qualify him for

 Some 100000 Stars .

Constantinople. Nov i tF -- A one time Kansas farm girl. now a Turkish princess. today received be- lated satisfaction from a Turkish court for insults hcaped upon her by an Egyptian princess, who accused her of having gone on long moon- liCht boat ride on the waters of the Bosphorus with her husband. A fine Of ten Turkish pounds was assessed the Egyptian.
 An allegation that the Egyptian woman in addition to having orally castigated her also physically as- saulted her was dismissed.
 The American born woman is Princess faida Chakir, divorced wife of John D. spreckcls. Jr.. of San Francisco. Her husband is Prince Suad Chakir. The other woman is Princess Chivekiar. former wife of King Fuad of Egypt but then the spouse of selim Bey, whom she later sued for divorce for his alleged in discretion in taking the boat ride with the Kansas princess.
 This Turkish cause celebre has been before the court for two years. Princess Chivekiar at this time was fined by the court for insslting the one-time Mrs. Spreckels. An appeal was taken to the court of corrections at Stambul, and today, upheld the decision The court threw out the assault charge because, although Princes Chakir asserted that the Egyptian woman had rained blows upon her, witnesses of the encounter declared there were no traces of blows on her face or body.
 Prior 10 coming 10 the Stambul court the case was before the. court of appeals at Eski-Shehr, this court last week sent it to the Stambul court for retrial because the judges deemed the statements of witnesses regarding the absence of abrasions on the face of Princess Chakir as in- sufficient reason for the dismissal Of the assault charge It was ruled by the court that the affair occurred at night and the witnesses might have been mistaken.

TONGUE WAGGING PRINCESS FINED

 Royalty, Avenged

New Haven, Nov. fPS-The Yale ing the position of some 100000 stars In an effort towards testing the theory that the surface of the earth rises and falls from time to time, causing change in the rapidity ot rotation of the earth.
 Through this information, accord ing 10 Professor Frank Schlisinger Of Yale university who discusses the works in tomorrow's issue of Yale Daily News the astronomers are ahlo 10 determine the wanderings of the north pole and hence indirectly much valuable information concern irg the interior of the earth.
 The work consists of placing a photographic plate in the camera and removing it before daylight. The prints shows traces made by nle larger stars as they move across he heavens during the night.
 "A few years ago." said Professor Schiesinger, "Dr. E. w. Brown, pro- lessor of mathematics at Yale. com pleted his great table of the moon. The comparison of the thesis with the actual observations leaves only one important discrepancy in the motion of that body. This can be only explained by an irregularity in the rotation of the earth itself. Professor Brown suggested that such an irregularity can be ac- counted for by oscillations with the earth causing the latter's surface to be alternately raised and lowered and thus bringing about a change in the rapidity of rotation. This hypothesis has attracted much at- tention on the part of those who arc concerned with the physics ot the earth and 1t is not unlikely that experimental and other investiga- tions may soon be set 10 test it's validity"
 This work was started, said Pro- lessor Schlesinger. towards the end of the last century when it was dis covered that the terrestrial poles were not absolutely fixed upon the surface of the earth but that they may wander as much~ as 50 or so feet.
