ps WILSON ENDS AUTO RIDES AND RUMORS OF RELAPSE ARIE One Story is That Presi- dent Is Too Busy to Take His Outings, CLOSE FRIENDS UNEASY Only a Clear Statement ') From White House Will Refute Idle Gossip. By David Lawrence. WSpecial Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 10 ‘Copyright, 1920).—President Wilson isn’t as much in evidence nowadays to pedestrians in the National Capi- tal as he was a fortnight ago, and consequently a fresh series of rumors has begun to go the rounds. The au- tomobile rides, which had become a daily occurrence, have been discon- tinued. y This probably started gossip anew, but the story that Mr. Wilson has suffered a relapse is given more cre- dence in Washington than perhaps is justified, because the White House Dolicy of authorizing vague and frag- mentary descriptions of the Presi- dent’s health, coupled with an occa- sional statement from some attend- ing physician completely confirming Tumors that were previously current, has bred many sceptics. ‘The discontinuance of the automo- hile rides of the President is explained im contradictory ways. One story em- anating from the White House is to the effect that the President has lately been too busy with public af- fairs to get his accustomed outing. On the other hand, it is a fact that members of this Cabinet are wonder- ing whether the President considers them nesessary at all, for no Cabinet meeting bas been called in many months. One or two Cabinet mambers feel that they ought to have the bene- fit of the advice and counsel and even instruction of their chief in these days of pressing Governmental busi- ness, SNAPSHOT PHOTOGRAPHS EX- CITED MARKED CURIOSITY. Another story, also given with a tinge of White House authority, is to | the effect that the President was un- | der too great a nervous tension while motoring. People in the streets stared at him curiously, wondering if all the gossip they had heard about his health were true. Unquestionably those photographs of the President didn't do him any good, for they stirred up a morbid curiosity. The first plan of having a carefully posed picture of the Presi- dent would probably have been the wiser, for so many snap shots were taken that in some cases the effect of Mr. Wilson's illness was grossly exag- gerated. The President did appear thin, but his gountenance seemed to possess a . ruddiness of color due, no doubt, to the long afternoons of exposure in the White House grounds, It Mr. Wilspn has suffered a re- Yapse, however, there is nothing in the outward behavior of White Houre officials that gives the slight- est confirmation to it. Preparations are going forward for the moving of the executive offices to Wood's Hole, Mass, in the middle of next month, It is quite possible that there may be one session of the Cabinet before Mr, Wilson goes away for the sum- mer, though no word has gone forth to that effect. There have been re- ports current that the Cabinet mem- bers felt somewhat lighted by the President's indifference: The other day, incidentally, Mra, Wilson had all the wives of the inet members to tea. Jt Was the first social function of its kind for many months and no doubt had the effect of preserving happiness in the official family. FRIENDS DISAPPOINTED BY SLOW RECOVERY. ‘The slow recovery of the President is discouraging to hts muny friends, who had hoped the spring months Would see him going about with his accustomed vigor. His detachment from official Washington is much more pronounced than any one dreamed would be the case. Not only has the President failed to see his own Cabinet, but several foreign Ambassadors accredited to the United tes have also been wait- ing for months to gain an audien: The President is keeping his own counsel, too, None of his Cabinet knows what he intends doing wbout the peace treaty, and it is seriously doubted on Capitol Hill whether Senator Hitchcock knows Mr, Wil- gon’s plans. There was a recurrence, too, dur- ing the ate debate on Friday, of the feeling that Mr. Wilson is unable to function as President because of his physical weakness, This insinu- ation, however, has so often been injected in the partisan warfare that dt has heretofore boen discounted and friends of the President, like Sena- tors Overman and Williams, have openly charged the Republicans with conspiring to give the country that But the interesting and regrettable impression. truth is that throughout Washington | HINT THAT HE OUGHT TO DEL. | BeiSat, Sitimate recovery ucoms EGATE SOME OF HIS POWER. |1, be extending even to friends who On the other hand, the failure of|could not be suspected for a mo the President to appoint a railroad! ment of permitting the wish to labor board, as provided under legis-| parent to the thought, as is charged lation passed more than a month ago,|of opposing political ‘folk.

Bourke Cockran, counsel for Police Inspector Dominick Henry, in- timated to-day that he would not only make a complaint against As- sistant District Attorney James E.

He charges that after Inspector Henyy had given the Extraordinary Grand Jury his accounts with stock brokers and had explained that the monéy came through a legacy of $50,000, Mr, Smith subpoenaed the ac- count for the regular Grand Jury and made it public without Henry's ox- planation, This yesterday to Judge Malone, Mr. Cockran, in making a state- ment that is assumed to contain the general defense of Inspector Henry, said that he did “not like to try cases in the newspapers, but I will mect the accusers of my client in the tribulnal before which they have haled him.” not stand on a technical , defense he but prove that “conditions throughout his inspection district in point of order, He said Henry would when goes to trial would cleanliness, decency and safety are the highest in the world.

Foye is belng held at Po- lice Headquarters while detectives are trying to clear up puzzling features of the theft last June of $275,000 worth of diamonds and pearls from the Hotel Biltmore safe deposit vaults. The jewelry belonged to Mrs, Clar- ence Millhiser, Foye has declined to talk to the police, but they expect to recover the bulk of the jewels, although so far only six pearls have come to light. Confronted with his criminal record, Foye only smiled and said he guessed he would talk to a lawyer before he talked to the police. ‘The jewelry stolen consisted of a pearl necklace, valued at $250,000; diamond ring, $20,000; solitaire, $3,500; bracelet, $500; diamond earrings, $500, Foye was @ room clerk at the hotel where the jewels were stolen, Detectives were utterly mystified at the seeming impossibility of what had occurred. Mrs. Millhiser had placed the jewels in the box, had locked it and kept the key, and the box then had been locked in the vault ‘by the clerk, who delivered the vault key to Mrs. Millhiser, Even when it was learned that her sister, two days later, had gone to take out some of the jewelry, they found #he had re- locked the, box herself before it was placed back into the vault, which again was locked by Foye, and the vault compartment key was deliv- ered to Mrs. Millhiser’s sister.

This would enable him to unlock the box while behind the screen that shuts off the vault from view from the desk, slip out the jewels, relock the box, and lock it into the vault, returning both keys to Mrs. Millhiser’s sister. No particular suspicion attached to Foye at,the time, He had worked at the hotel for about @ year and re- mained ‘there for six months after the robbery. Detectives Gegun and O'Hara, assigned, by Deputy Com- missioner Lahey, still were on the jewel robbery and when Foye left the hotel they kept tabs on him. He worked for a time at the Gramatan Hotel in Bronxville and then was employed by the Fuel Administration. Recently several uptown dealers been approached with offers of t fine pearls by a man not known in the trade. A dealer near Times Square thought he recognized them from a description of the Millhiser jewels sent out. He agreed to p $24,000 for six pearls and gave Woye check for $20,000 “on account,” the detectives say. The detectives trailed Moye in the hope he would lead them to accom- plices, When in danger of losing him in a crowd near the Woolworth Building yesterday afternoon, they arrested him, FOYE AGREES TO TELL, THEN CHANGES MIND.

Two men named Williams, both members of the “Flying Squad” of profiteer hunters of the Department of Justice, stopped in front of a win- dowful of haberdashery at Court and pntague Streets, Brooklyn, this morning. They appeared to be admiring the goods on display, but what they were really doing was copying from the labels such cost marks as “OD,’ 1234667890 QovDHBLPUSX “God help us,—and the ‘X' is the cipher,” said the Williams whose first name is Edward, The other Williams, whose firet name is She! reached the same conclusion, The two then went back to the store and, after certain preliminaries, arrested the proprieter, Joseph Nicht- hauser, charged with violating the Lever Act by “feloniously making un- falr prices on apparel” and specifi- cally offering to sell for $45 a rain- coat that cost $23. The Williamses entered the shop and asketL to see rain coats. Nicht~ hauser, according to their story, showed them a jot of twenty and told them they could have their pick for $45. While they were comparing the coats they also compared the cost marks, using their newly acquired knowledge of the code. Six coats were marked “OD” which the Williamses translated at $23. Five were marked “OU," which would be $28. And nine were marked “DX,” which t# $80. The secret service men then dis- closed their identity and asked to see the books. “The accounts showed,” said Ed- ward Willams, “that the gross sales of the store last year were $123,787.36 and the cost of the good was $77,705.79 leaving & gross profit of $46.0#1.56. 4 this Nichthauser is alleged to have taken a salary of $6,440 ku. vidi self. The overhead expense was 17 per cent. and the net profit was $17,955. Nichthauser said his invested capital was between $382,000 and $40,000." The Williamses said the cost mark- ed on collars selling for 30 cents was 0 cents and the average profit on ties was 50 per cent. Nichthauser was arraigned by As- sistant Federal Prosecutor H. Harvey Harwood tater in the day and held in $2,000 bail, He offered his personal check, but it was not accepted, and he had to wait for friends to bail him out, Mr. Harwood said the penalty, In the event of conviction, might be as much as two years in prison, a fine of $6,000, either or both, digestible. appetite.
