Mohun and Elliott believe that 1t
has identified Nicholson as the
missing heir to the trust fund left
by the late William E. Emery, a
wealthy resident of Pennington,
N. J.
Nearly 40 years ago, two young
lovers, against their parents con-
sent, were secretly married, under
fictitious names. Several months
later, they obtained their parents
consent, and afraid to tell their
parents that they were already
married. we're married a second
time in the family mansion of the
Emerys in Pennington, N. j. The
boy was Fred Francis Gregory ana
the girl, Florence Emery.
Sometime later a child was
about to be born, but not daring
to tell their parents, the Gregories
came to Washington. Mrs. Greg
cry was rushed from the train to
the Founding Hospital, and the
son, now the missing heir, was
born. He was named Joseph
MarSden.
The boy was later adopted by
James E. Nicholson, and was
called James E. Nicholson, jr. He
was led to believe that he. was the
son of the elder Nicholson, who
died when the lad was IT. He
then went to live with an Uncle
Nicholson" i'll Baltimore.
In 1912, the father of Florence
Emery died, leaving the sum of
S650,000 TO b divided between his
two daughters. Mrs. Emery died,
but before she did, she revealed to
nine persons the secret of her
sons birth, which has caused the
search for the missing heir by
George B. Case, of Pennington, N.
j., one of the trustees of the trust
fund.

nation procured or obtained by
him for and published in the

engaged, connected or employed -
Agitation of the privileges of
the newspaper man has developed
out of the arrest and falling Of
three reporters on The Washing
ton Times for contempt" of
court.
These reporters had been as
signed to make survey Of the
prohibition enforcement at the
National Capital. They visited
several SpeakeaSies and published
stories on what they found.
They were called before the
grand jury and they presented
to that body great deal Of in
formation. When they were
pressed to give the names of the
people who helped them in get
ting the facts they objected.
They held that If they gave away
this information it would be a
breach of confidence and a viola
ton of newspaper ethics. There
fore they were summoned to court
and were sentenced to Jail for
contempt.
These reporters had given the
authorities all the information
that they could naturally expect.
There was not reason why the
police agencies Of the town
could not have gone out and got
the same facts. Then when they
attempted to press down hard
and demand the names. the re-
porters refused to give them and
they were justified in their reti-
Cence.
Moved by this circumstance,
Senator Capper has introduced q
bill which would exempt news
paper reporters in the District
from being compelled to divulge
confidential information, or be
committed for contempt. It is
an ethical rule Of every newspa per
that it shall not betray the
sources of information. That
source is confidential.
The Observer is agreed with
The WATERFOWL Times in its
contention that If this were not
the rule of every newspaper of
flee, sources of information would
be closed to them which would
otherwise be opened. InfOrma-
ton would be withheld which
should be given as a matter Of
public policy.
In this particular WASHINGTON
case the newspaper men per-
formed a public service in going
around and exposing the un-
SavOry conditions.
They had a right to plead the
privilege as applying to news
paper service.

James Paxton, manager Of the

ridor to be called. They had
been there since $50 o'clock.
Inquest into the cause of the
deaths, and the question OF
whether any person was culpable,
is to be held next Monday in the
District Building board room. The
purpose of the investigation to-
day by the special board was to
learn the cause of the disaster in
order to prevent others from oC
curing.
Major Donald Dawson, assist
ant Engineer Commissioner and
chairman of the special board,
indicated that the result Of the
investigation today might not be
announced until after the coro-
ner's inquest is held next week
Plans Of the boiler and pipes
were drawn for the special board
by Maurice j. Colbert, plumber,
who made the installation nine
years ago. They were to be com,
pared with the plans made by
the plumbing inspector to show
how such jobs should be done.
Capt. A. r. McGonegal, plumb
ing inspector, said indications
were that there was nothing if
regular in the way the plumbing
was installed. Experts from the
Bureau of Standards and the BIZ
reau of Mines met with the spe-
cial board today. They were to
aid the board in forming a theory
as to what caused the explosion
and to offer advice as to how
similar catastrophies can be
avoided.

information was given the Grand
Jury by an editor Of the paper,
but the reporters declined to
swear out warrants before the
United States Commissioner.
Rover then had them taken into
court on contempt citation.
"I consider" said Senator How
ell, "that the District Attorney
has adopted a very injudicious
and improper attitude in this case
and in the general way In which
he handles witnesses and those
who have information to give
him in regard to violation OF the
prohibition and other laws.
His methods show the way not
to get information. Persons who
have information naturally will
not go to him or inform him that
they know things if they know
that they are going to be treated
as were the reporters for The
Washington Times.
witnesses should be treated in
a cooperative manner. They
should be extended every consid-
Grafton, for they are doing some
thing for the District Attorney
and the Government. They are
doing a favor and should be
treated accordingly"

Appeared In Good Spirits
Fellow-workers in the property
room told Lieut.. Joseph Morgan,
head of the homicide squad, that
Montgomery opened the room
about 8:55 a. m. and appeared
in his usual good spirits. He
walked from the room without
saying where he was going and
a few minutes later they. were
told of his death.
No reason was suggested for
the alleged suicide, except that
Montgomery has been suffering
from high blood pressure for
some time.
He joined the force on July l
1901 and had been assigned to
the property room since 1919. He
made his home in the 800 block
e Street Northeast, with his wife,
Pauline, and their two children
Loretta, 20, and Charles, Is.
Montgomery was the policeman
who arrested Senator Thomas Hef
lin of Alabama, after the latter
had shot and injured a colored
man. This occurred on March %
1908, while Helm and the col
ored man were riding on a Penn
Sylvania Avenue street car.

little, selling at from so to 60
cents. as compared with IS cents
last year.
Cranberries are quoted at from
10 to IS cents a pound, which rep
resents a slight saving, while
celery will cost about the same,
at Is cents a bunch. Sweet
potatoes are a cent or two lower,
at cents a pound.
The cut in prices is due to
over production. according to
merchants. Wyoming and other
former cattle States are now pro-
ducing turkeys. and this has re-
suited in an over-Supplied market.

Watered Tomatoes Held
By Federal Inspectors

The Government regards the
sale Of water at the price Of
canned tomatoes as a cheat and
imposition on the consumer" For
this reason Federal officers have
seized 1914 cases of canned
tomatoes here, at Baltimore, and
at various points in Alabama.
Packed and shipped from fac
tories in northern Virginia, the
tomatoes are said to have been
adulterated with water at the
time of canning.

Warren, dean Of Congress, car
ried from public life one Of the
most picturesque figures on the
American political stage. Launch
ing his political career in Wyom-
ing, when that State was terri.
tory, after having won o Congress
sional Medal Of Honor for heroism
in the Civil War, Warren came
to the Senate to establish a
record Of longevity in service
exceeding that of any other Sena-
tor in history.
The Wyoming pioneer served
In the Senate for more than SO
years, rising to the Craftsmanship
Of the powerful Appropriations
committee and three times re-
fusing the Republican leadership.
In his passing, Congress lost its
Oldest member, its only Congress
Sional Medal Of Honor man and
its only veteran of The Union
armies of 1866.
Early in Politics
Warren first entered politics
in 1873 when he was elected to
the territorial Senate Of Wyom-
ing. serving q single term. He
had moved westward from MasSa-
chusettS five years earlier. Then
in rapid succession, he held a
series of offices, including the
mayoralty of Cheyenne, and
eventually the territorial govern.
orship. When wyoming became
a State, he was elected as its
first State governor.
Warren came to the Senate
for the first time in 1890. He
served two years and then re-
tired temporarily when his state
legislature went into a dead
lock. In 1895 he returned to the
Senate and for 81 years he
served continuously in that body.
The amazing feature of his
long service was the "bloodlesS
revolution" he observed in social,
political and scientific develop
ments. He saw the automobile,
electricity, telephones, airplanes,
electric washing machines, tiled
bathrooms, apartment houses,
and radio supplant other con-
ver1ienceS. He watched woman
suffrage and prohibition for and
capture the country. when I
first came to the Senate" he OBJ
served recently, there was one
woman employe in the Capitol,
operating a single telephone wire
to the outside. We went to work
in horse-drawn trolleys or horse
cabs and worked under gas
lights.
Always Conservative
The greatest changes, he add
ed, in his long period in the
Senate, were the adoption of wo-
man suffrage and prohibition;
the emancipation Of American
youth. the orgy of national spend
ing, the public war on disease,
the increased cost of living and
the marvellous progress Of the
sciences.
There we're other changes he
desired. Just recently he listed
them as enlargement of the
United States Supreme Court,
elimination of lame duck" Ses-
SionS of Congress, reduction Of
the Presidents official duties and
repeal of the Senatorial primary
law.
Warren won his Congressional
Medal of Honor at the siege OF
Fort Hudson on the Mississippi
River. He was one of a number
of Union soldiers who voluntarily
stormed the fort across open
fields
