Adams’ Impress On Your Printing CRADE. JUT NOT HIGH PRIOED BYROR'S. ADAMS, SRviEs icel THE The True Story of f Woodrow Wilson i b By DAVID LAWRENCE. CHAPTER V. When Woodrow Wilkon Twice Thought of Reslgning the Presi- dency of the United States. Dr. Wilson's conception -of party leadership and party discipline was novel indeed. His favorite textbook (in the college lecture room was Bag- heot's “English Constitution,” a re- markable treatise on the British par- liamentary theory as contrasted with our own. Often In the subseguent years of his political career, Wood- row Wilson revealed the unconsclous influence of these studies of parlia- mentary government. From the days when the Underwood-Stmmons tarift law and the federal reserve act were junder consideration he was ready to “read out of the party” those who disagreed with his leadership. It persisted to the very end. To him it was an essential of party discipline. He maintained this notion even through the days of his illness, ex- {pressing his views in a serfes of let- ters relating to the candidacy for renomination of certain United States senators, who had strayed from his leadership and occasionally approv- ing others who had remained faith- ful. Dr. Wilson admired certain features of the English governmental system. (He ltked the idea of responsibility to the people o hinet formed by the ful in an election. He d by the opportunity of ,a prime minister and his cabinet !when opposed by the legislature leither to resign and permit another {ministry to be formed by the same {party or to carry the disagreement at once to the country so that the voters might decide it in a general felection. ! Twice Talked of Reslgning. Only the few who knew of the deep tmpression which the parliamentary {form of government had made on { Woodrow Wilson's mind in his col- {lege years realized what he meant !when on two occasions he spoke to Ihis intimates about resigning the Presidency of the United States. The general public never has known that Woodrow Wilson harbored such thoughts while he was in the White i House. | The first instance occurred but a {few weeks after Mr. Wilson was in- augurated. He had delivered an ad- dress to Congress In person asking for the repeal of the legislation which had exempted Amerlcan ves- sels from the payment of tolls in sing through the Panama Canal. The exemption, he claimed, had dis- criminated against the vessels of Great Britain, which under the Hay- Pauncefote treaty had been guaran- teed equal rights with the ships of the United States. This was Mr. Wil- son's first test of stremgth with his own party. It looked for a few days as if he would be defeated. “I would rather resign” he sald {one day, “than remain President of a country which repudiated its treaty obligation Won Both His Figh On another occasion just before the United States enteged the European war, when Congress was considering the McLemore resolution providing that American citizens be warned to keep off the high seas so as to avoid complications with Germany's cam- paign of submarine warfare, Mr. Wil- son was told that such a resolution might pass In direct opposition to his wishes. He talked again of resign- ing. Woodrow Wilson won both fights, however. Whether if he had lost either one he would have carried into effect the threat of resignation nobody know Subsequent events {ATTEMPTED ASSAULT CHARGED BY WOMAN Negro Suspect, Ex-Convict, Identi- fied by Mrs. Alice Duvall and Friend. Charged with attempted felonious assault upon Mrs. Alice Duvall, 702 H street southwest, at 7th and B streets northwest early Tuesday night, Na- thaniel Burton, colored, forty-eight, familiarly known as “Anacosita, siding at 328-B Half street southwest, was arrested yesterday by Detective H. K. Wilson of the first precinct. Burton is sald to have told the de- - [tective he was very much under the influence of corn whisky Tuesday and - |that he had no recollection of having accosted Mrs. Duvall. Mrs. Duvall and Mrs. Ella Kirby, 422 9th #treet south- west, who were together, fully identi- fied the prisoner. Sorry it Guilty. “If 1 @id anything like that" Bur- ton is sald to have remarked, “I'm sorry for it The women were on their way from their homes to the business section and were passing 7th and B streets, Where a_colored man employed as a truck driver was standing. He took hold of Mrs. duvall, it is alleged, and tried to force her to his truck. Burton, according to the police, was arrested in 1912 and convicted of a charge of manslaughter, it being al- leged that he cut and fatally wounded Henry Watson, colored, during a fight in Queen court northwest. He served five years in the federal penitentiary in Atlanta, Ga., according to the po- lico, and was released in 1917. He will be arraigned in Police Court to- morrow. FICTION Books ! | would seem to prove, however, he! came at last to realize that, unless the members of Congress resigned also and ‘the ‘country had an oppor- tunity to pass judgment simultane- ously on those who had disagreed with the Executive, the move would be futile. > Within his own party, on the other hand, Woodrow Wilson aid consider it his duty to appeal to the people to decide for or against his leadership. He wrote letters which were made public and used against-the candidacy for example of Senator Vardaman of Mississippi In the party primary cam- palgn. He opposed several members of the House of Represcntatives who sought renomination on the democra- tic ticket. Some of these contests turned in his favor and some he lost. This did- not swerve him from his conception of party leadership. Al- though he rarely commented on public questions during the last three years of his life he never failed to respond to a request from democrats for an expression of opinion as to a demo- cratic candidate for renomination who had opposed him. Typical of these were his bitter epistles on the party infidelity of Senator James A. Reed of Missourl and John K. Shields of Tennessee both of whom had falled to support the Varsaillcs treaty and league of mnations with or without reservations. Not a Personal Matter, There was nothing personal in any this. When he characterized Senator Shiclds as the “least trust- worthy” of his associates In public life, he did not mean personally. No one had achieved a higher reputation for integrity than Senator Shields of Tenncssee. At gne time Mr. Shields was chief justice of the suprerhe court of the state of Tennesse: But he differed with Woodrow Wil- son’s forelgn policy. This act made him in Mr. Wilson's judgment un- worthy of trust as a democrat. For he as lcader of the party had come to regard the league of nations as a cause which the democratic party should champlon to a man particular- ly because almost all the republicans had chosen to take the other side. Mr. Wilson felt that when Senator | Shields voted with the republicans he forfeited his right to the votes of the democrats in a party primary contest. Perhaps the most striking example ot this Wilsonlan theory about party discipline occurred after he left the White House. He had always been fond of Oscar Underwood, worked in close co-operation with him when the latter led the democrats in the House, and wrote him many friendly letters, notwithstanding the fact that one wing of the party—particularly the Bryan Influence—was oppnsed to the conservatism of the Alabama statesman. After Senator Underwood voted for a “separate peace” with Germany and served on the delegation with Sen- ator Henry Cabot Lodge, which nego- | tiated the four-power pact between {the United States, Great Britain, Franw and Japan, Mr. Wilson was deeply disappointed. “If Underwood is a democrat,” he remarked to a friend, “than I am a republican.” (Copyright, 1024, by the George I.

FIREMEN, ADMITTING ARSON, SENTENCED EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO: SENATOR DEFENDS DRY FORCE ARMING Willis Urges Dale Probe Plan Instead of That of Edwards. Senator Willis of Ohlo, defending prohibition enforcement officers and| replying to Senator Edwards of New Jersey, who is seeking a general in- vestigation of administration of the prohibition law, in connectinon with the recent shooting of Senator Frank L. Greene of Vermont during @ battle between prohibition agents and al- leged bootleggers, urged in the Sen- ate yesterday afternoon that the Sen- ate adopted thé Dale resolution, oftered as a substitute for that of Senator Edwards. The Dale resolution, introduced by Senator Dale of Vermont, provides for an inquiry into the shooting of Senator Greene, but contains no “strictures” upon the prohibition en- forcement officers, such as are found in_the Edwards resolution. Sonator Willls had read to the Sen- ato an editorial from The Evening Star advocating adoption of the Dale resolution and protesting against the acclident to Senator Greene being made the vehicle of an attack upon prohibition. Opportunity for Dry Foes. “This incident of the shooting of the senator from Vermont,” said Sen- ator Willis, “has been seized upon as a reason for attacking prohibition forcement. The resolution offered by Senator Dale proposes a proper! Investigation and should be adopted. The resolution offered by the senator from New Jersey, Mr. Edwards, Ig exactly what the opponents of pro- hibition desire. What could better work to paralyze the enforcement of the law than such an investigation as that proposed in the Edwards resolution? “While prohibition is attacked In this resolution, I notice that nothing is sald about the scores of men who have been killed by bootleggers, in- cluding thirty-five prohibition agents. The bootleggers are desparate thugs armed to the teeth. Should it be sald that officers of the law should not be allowed to arm to defend themselves against the bootleggers? T am told that the bootleggers' car which was being used at the time Senator Greene was shot was equip- ped with a smoke-screen apparatus and emerged from an alley into Penn- sylvania avenue at terrific speed.” ", S.

Senator McKellar of Tennessee de- clared thaut a law should be enacted to prohibit the sale of firearms in this city and in interstate commerce. That way, he said, it would be pos- sible to prevent such accldents as had happened to Senator Greene. 29, 1924. Scripture for It.

Former Depai'tment Chief, Son of Grand Juror, One of Six Con- fessing Conspiracy. By the Assoclated Press. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., February 29. —Six Darien firemen who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit statu- tory arson were given prison and jall sentences by Judge Allyn Brown. Arthur E. Willmott, former chief of the fire department and son of a grand juror, was sentenced to not less than,two and not more than four years. Others sentenced were: Harry Pardee and Richard E. Abendroth, one to two years; George Nash, ten months; Carl Rellstab and Fred Har- tog, six months each. Fires of mysterious origin occurred frequently in Darien last spring and fall and investigations revealed that the members of the fire department, “to furnish excitement,” had been in the habit of starting fires in barns and other uninhabited buildings. The men would return, wait for the alarm, and then would ride to the fire on the truck and help extinguish it. —— ‘When Ventilation Fails. The United States bureau of mines has arrived at the conclusion that ventilation, as a means of reducing discomfort from high temperature to humid atmosphere, is -practically worthless. If the temperature has reached 95 degrees movement of air ofters no relief and above 100 degrees the 'discomfort is so unbearable in high humidity that circulation will not enable a victim to stand the high humidity and heat even for an hour.
