v The True Story of Woodrow Wilson By DAVID LAWRENCE. CHAPTER XVI. The Early Influence of Col House. Selection of the cabinet of Wood- Tow Wilson was a unique process, Probably without parallel in Amer- ican history. Itis doubtful whether any one played a greater part in the making of the cabinet than Col. House. ~The development of the friendship between the quiet man from Texas and Woodrow Wilson was as remark- able as their subsequent separation under clrcumstan all the more amazing to relate when the full story of their assoclation is told. Col. House was first of all a man ' of Independent means, a liberal in Politics and of influential personality. His tact and diplomacy, his progres- slveness and unselfishness captured b ibout Col. House.” explained Gov. Wilson one day to a \EToup of newspaper men who dis- played curiosity about the growing friendship, “is that he holds things at arm's length—objectively. He Sseems able to penetrate a proposition and get to its very essence quickly. He wants nothing for himself. He will not hold office and is a truly disinterested friend—the most valua- ble possession a man could have.” Col. House's Influence. In those weeks preceding the inau- guration of Mr. Wilson Col. House did an extraordinary thing which from that day to this has not been disclosed in print, but it shows the Temarkable influence he possessed. As will be remembered by those who follow the stock market, the uncer- tainty over what the new democratic administration might do had an un- settling effect in the financial dis- trict; at least so claimed the leading financiers, some of whom kept hint- ing that unless the uncertainty was allayed a panic might even follow the inauguration of the President. Wall street professed to be alarmed over the radicalism of the newly elected Chief Executive and what he might do to business generally. Some of ‘the bankers asked Col. House to attend a dinner and explain what was likely to happen under the new ad- ministration. til he had Mr. Wilson's sanction. According to some of those who ‘were present, the amount of money Tepresented at that gathering was at least five billions of dollars in actual wealth and many billions more in potential credit. Al the Important financlers in America were there or Sent representtiv The colonel ~erased the notion that Woodrow Wil- son was a “wild radical” who would turn things upside down, and instead Eave a general sketch of what Mr. ‘Wilson hoped to accomplish by way of currency reform. What the bank- ers wanted was something straight from headquarters about the Wilson intentions—not the details, but his general attitude toward business and finance. Whether the talk Col. House gave that night to all the important financiers of the country had any sequel in the confidence thereafter displaved by the markets is too in- tangible to prove, but there was a moticeable let-up in the predictions of disaster and calamity which had been spread about the metropolitan district. i Again and again Gov. Wilson went to the apartments of Col. House in New York, seeing many important visitors there. Later on, after Mr. ‘Wilson was inaugurated, the home of Col. House was a sort of New York branch of the White House. ‘Wilson's “Silent Partner.” There were frequent conversations over the long-distance telephone and a regular series of letters day by day. These communications were private in every sense and were not opened by any intervening officials. Naturally there was often a disposition on the part of other advisers of the President %o wonder what subjects were being discussed or taken up between Col. House and Mr. Wilson. The colonel was reticent—he earned a reputation ‘silent partner” and he kept Mr. Wilson's confidence faithfully. Many of the matters with which ¢ol. House dealt related to _appoint- ments to office. If the President wished to conduct an investigation as to the fitness of an individual for an important place he would ask Col. House to make such an investigation tactfully. It was Col. House who sug- gested the name of Walter Hines Page to be American ambassador to Great Britain. 1 rode from New York to Washington with him on the day before he took this matter up with Mr. Wilson and he told me of the prospective appointment, feeling ab- solutely sure he could persuade Mr. SPECIAL NOTICES.

It was with considerable amusement, therefore, that the colonel read later on of reports that friction had devel- oped between Ambassador Page and President Wilson because Col. House had been sent to Europe as an unof- ficlal envoy. Helpful in Many Ways. In the weeks immediately preceding the inauguration Col. House was espe- cially valuable to Mr. Wilson in de- ciding political questions relating to the personnel of the cabinet. After the inauguration the colonel kept on dealing with patronage matters for Mr. Wilson and keeping the latter informed on the impressions the ad- ministration was making in the large centers of the east. But thp colonel brought mostly to Mr. Wilson later an intimate knowledge of for- eign affairs and a personal acquaint- ance with many of the most impor- tant figures in world diptomacy. Mr. Wilson's readiness to intrust Col. House with his confidence on mis- sions relating to foreign policy wa: due to his belief that the colonel was tactful and diplomatic and would not be restricted by the same forms and conventions that surrounded a full- fledged ambassador. Many people never could understand why President ‘Wilson made use of unofficial envoys. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Wilson felt more could be accom plished by an unattached envoy than by one who was officially accredited to a government, and therefore un- able to reach into the heart of a problem and mpake personal investiga- tion or say things as bluntly as could a casual envoy who had no official _status. Mr. Wilson used to refer to Col House as his “eyes and ear: He was more than that. He was Mr. Wilson's personal representative in making a first-hand investigation of the facts and opinions conveyed to the White House by ambassadors and ministers in_long-winded official re- ports. Col. House was really analo- gous to the star reporter who is oc- casionally sent by his newspaper to make a general survey of a situation. Local correspondents are maintained in nearly every important center, but large newspapers every now and then send a man to visit a certain section of the country and follow a particu- lar line of investigation. He is often able to pry into matters which the {local correspondent, for one reason and another, is embarrassed in at- tempting to untangle. Col. House, i moreover, had the faculty of digest- ! ing situations and putting them into ! brief reports. He was adroit in his conversations—he never committed { the government of the United States I to any policy. He worked in close | Parmony with the ambassadors and ministers and he did take a large | burden oft Mr. Wilson's mind. i Helped Pick the Cabinet. | But before the inauguration Colonel | House can be sald to have been re- | sponsible for the selection of at least half of Mr. Wilson’s cabinet. He !knew David F. Houston, who became 'Secretary of Agriculture. Mr. Hous- iton had been president of the Uni- iversity of Texas. The friendship of | Mr. Wilson and Secretary Houston was the admiration of one intellectual for another. Indeed, when it became apparent to Mr. Wilson in 1920 that on ,account of his ill health he could not lexpect the democratic convention at i{San Francisco to nominate him he wished that the convention might ‘turn to a_man like Houston. He never made public announcement of {that fact, but among the President’s {intimate friends this_was an open |secret. Charles R. Crane, who be- {came minister to Chiaa and who es- 'erted a great deal >t influence on | Mr. Wilson in counacticn w.th Rus- sian affairs, was one of the inner |circle who favored Mr. Houston's | candidacy in 1920. An index of how Mr. Wilson felttoward Secretary Houston was given when Secretary Glass resigned as head of the Treas- ury Department, to become United {States senator from Virginia. Mr. {Wilson transferred Secretary houston {to the Treasury portfolioc without a {moment's hesitation. _ Mr. Houston had always shown a practical knowl- jedge of economics. At that time Mr. { Wilsor leaned heavily in the cabine on Mr. Houston's advice—he was on. of the strong men of the admin tration. Many of the communications to Congress particularly on _fiscal! i matters signed by President Wilson {during his illness were word for Wword written by Secretary Houston.

The subcommittee of the House ways and means committee charged with drafting of the soldier bonus bill went to work today on the heart of the measure—the provision for paid- up life insurance policies. Chairman Green announced that an effort would be made to complete the measure by the latter part of the week, with a view to bringing it be- fore the House for action Monday. The same definition of veterans en- titled to a soldier bonus as was car- ried in the bill passed last session was agreed upon yesterday by the subcommittee. Under this definition men and women who served in either the mili-, tary or naval forces at any time after April 5, 1917, and before November 12, 1918, would be eligible to the bonus. The committee previously had agreed to exclude from the bene- fits of the bill officers who ranked above captain in the Army and Ma- rine_Corps and senior lieutenant in the Navy. Framing of the insurance provision of the bill is expected to entail con- siderable study by the subcommittee. Several propositions have been pre- sented. incioding proposals for en- dowment policies running from twen- ty to thirty years. The basis on which their values would be figured. however, {s problematical. The old bill provided for an adjusted service credit of $1 for each day of home service and $1.25 for overseas service.

THINKING YOUVE S-n HOUSE VOTES SHOALS TO FORD, . 227-142; BILL GOES TO SENATE Party Lines Dropped in Final Ballot Taken After Stormy Batile of W eek—Opposition Likely in Upper Chamber. The McKenzie bill providing for acceptance of Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals was in the hands of the Senate today, where it is ex- pected to undergo a searching scru- tiny by the agricuiture committee. The measure was passed by the House yesterday by a vote of 227 to 124, after a week of stormy debate, but how soon it will be taken up in the Senate committee has not been determined. Chairman Norris already has declared opposition to the Ford offer and other members of the com- mittee also have criticized terms of the proposed lease. An indication of the committee’s plans for considera- tion of the bill, however, is expected shortly. Given Right of Way. As passed by the House, the meas- ure is practically In the same form in which it was reported by the mili- tary commiitee, only a few minor amendments having been added. All other legislative business was side- tracked during the week's debate on the offer, which was made two years ago, but the House today was pre- pared to resume with its program of appropriation and other bills. To the last, advocates of the Ford offer resisted attempts to modify the proposed contract. _Amendment after amendment, aimed at the heart of the bill, was thrown out by decisive vote, and as passed the measure car- ried less than half a dozen of minor importance which proponents of the ! bill were willing to accept. Attached to the bill, however, was the Madden amendment, approved by the military committee, which obli- gates the government to replace the Gorgas steam power plant, recently sold to_the Alabama Power Com- pany. Provision is made that this plant, which is not to cost, with a transmission line to nitrate plant No. 2, more than the 3$3,472,487 recelved for the Gorgas property, is to be sold to Mr. Ford, along with nitrate plants Nos. 1 and'2 and the Waco quarry, near Russellville, Ala. Lease for Cemtury. Under terms of the bill, Ford will have the right to lease for 100 years dams two and three at Muscle Shoals and adjacent power stations. Out- numbered, but fighting atubbornly to the last roll call, opponents of the offer made a futile last-minute at- tempt to bring him under the terms of the federal waterpower act, there- by limiting his lease to fifty years, and to keep in the bill an amendment, adopted Saturday, which would ena- ble the government to ‘“recapture” the properties in the event the De- troit manufacturer failed to live up to his contract in any particular. On the demand of Chairman Mad- den of the appropriations committee, one of the leading Ford offer advo- cates, a roll call was demanded just before the final vote on_the amend- ment, and it went out of the bill by a vote of 197 to 176. Party lines were disregarded to a large extent on the final vote, al- though democrate, as a rule, support- ed the bill. = Line-up o Vote. On the final vote fifty-seven repub- licans and 170 democrats supported the bill, while 122 republicans, 19 dem- ocrats ‘'and one farmer-laborite op- posed it.

COLLEGE NEARLY FILLED Another American May Be Given Red Hat Later. By the Associated Press. ROME, March 11.—Four -cardinals ‘will probably be the limit for the United States for some time. The next cardi- nal for the western hemisphere will be named for Latin America and the next archbishop of Buenos Aires will be raised to the cardinalate, according to authoritative Vatican opinion. At the present time the archbishopric of Buenos Aires is vacant and the ques- tion of filling this high post has not yet been settled. The coming consistory may be defi- nitely considered as “all-American,” Wwith” but two red hats, for Arch- bishop Hayes and Archbishop Munde- lein. The planning for South America, somewhat vague just now, includes cardinals for both Brazil and Argen- tina, providing there are available places in the Sacred College. Four Places Left. The College of Cardinals at the present time number sixty-four. The two latest American’ appointments will bring the number up to sixty- six, four less than the full quota. Inasmuch as it is customary to leave a few places vacant for an oc- casion when the Pope desires singu- larly to honor some particular coun- try or prelate there are always three or four vacant seats In the sacred college. There is constant talk of increasing the sacred college to cighty members so as to give all countries adequate representation on the basis of their population, but the sugzestion at this moment seems ex- tremely remote, and the sacred col- tege is likely to remain at seventy o a long time. Hanna Considered. |, The holy see has long considered the placing of the membership of the United States on geographical lines, ! with a representative in the west. It is on this basis that the name of Archbishop Hanna of San Francisco has been prominently mentioned, but the demands of the population and importance of the east gave that section the advantage this time. It is probable, however, that Arch- bishop Hanna's name will come be- fore future consistories. Another plan under consideration is to_give greater representation to the big Catholic countries of the world and reduce Italian representa- tion. FOUL PLAY SCOUTED IN DEATH OF WOMAN Police Declare Miss Eva Long Either Victim of Accident or Suicide. Detectives Kelly and Scrivener of headquarters today reached the con- clusion that either accident or sui- cide was behind the drowning of Miss Eva Long, twenty-eight years old, of 1729 Church street, whose body was taken from the Potomac Sunday night. Theories that an assault had been | perpetrated before the woman was " | thrown in the Potomac were com- pletely disregarded by the investiga- tors. Their report to Inspector Grant today was to the effect that no indi- cation of any assault or of any foul play whatever was discovered by them in their investigation of the case.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 11.—Dispatches from Dublin correspondents -today say that the trouble in the Free State army has been of much wider effect than the of- ficial reports admit. Dissatisfaction with changes in the army is general, say the correspondents, and the public' has not heard all that has happened. It s stated also that there is a political angle to the affair, and rumor is that one member of the government has resigned, while some of the deputies intend to resign their seats in the dall eireann. Gen. Owen O'Duffey’'s appointment to the newly created post of com- mander of defense forces is believed in some quarters to indicate that the position is more serious than appears on the surface. There were incidents in Dublin yes- terday recalling the recent troublous times, the correspondents declare, with the rapid movement of armored cars and lorries carrying armed sol- diers through the strects and now and then a low fiying alrplane. At one time a party of forty sol- diers, handcuffed in pairs, was march- ed through the streets under strong escort. Whether they were mutineers was unknown. Wires are said to have been cut in many places around Dublin _and guards everywhere have been strengthened, including those at army headquarters. Meanwhile Maj. Gen. Liam Tobin and Col. Charles Dalton, alleged lead- | ers of the mutiny, continue at liberty. CAN’T UNDERTAKE PROBE. The Federal Trade Commission in- formed the Senate yesterday It was un- able, because of other business, to! undertake the requested inquiry into | the flour and baking industries. The entire machinery of the com- mission, the letter said, already is engaged in other investigations and its fumds are all pledged for those activities. MRRY.
