WASHINGTON, May 11.—A fili
buster to compel the house to take
action on the resolution providing
1 tn investigation of alleged laxity in
-the prosecution of war defrauders,
Was threatened today by Represen
nr4ative Woodruff, Republican, Mich
igan.
Declaring that "the country is en
titled to know action and fewer ex
cuses from the administration,’’ Mr.
Woodruff served notice on house
leaders that unless they allow the
resolution to come to a vote "with
in the next few days,” he will start
a lone-hand filibuster against all
legislation.
“I am tired of waiting,” said Mr.
Woodruff, "and so are millions of
people over the country who want
to see the war grafters punished.
! I mean to force the committee on
rules and the Republican leaders to
allow my resolution to be taken up.
If they do not act within a few
flays, the exact time depending upon
the, legislative situation, I will fili
buster.
"They will find me prepared to
•tick it out all summer if neces
•ary. I’ll be on the floor when the
House convenes and stay there until
adjournment.”
Mr. Woodruff’s threatened fili
buster sent a big scare through con
gressional ranks today. House mem
bers, all of whom are up for re
flection this year, are most anxious
to get away from Washington so
they can begin campaigning, and
they are now working on a speed
up program under which they hope
to begin taking three-day recesses
by June 1 or 15.
American Courts’
Ruling Is Puzzle to
Spanish Cabellero
BY FORREST WHITE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1022.)
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 11.—
San Gabriel, old mission town, still
| lumbers in the bygone age of gen
erous acts and deeds of the Caballero
lays and Salvatore Torres, a nine
teen-year youth of the old town,
established a new mark for generos
ity and filial devotion when he was
1 arraigned before Judge Farrell, in
the police court Wednesday, to an
ewer a charge of purloining—not
• horse —but a bicycle.
Salvatore was accompanied to
eourt by his father, who, although
I life-long resident of San Gabriel,
aas not acquired the tongue of the
Americano. After questioning Sal
vatore at length Judge Farrell de
' sided that his guilt was apparent,
tnd sentenced him to ninety days in
lail.
“Very well, my father will serve
:he term for me,” said Salvatore,
tnd turning to his father spoke a
lew words in Spanish, to which the
alder man brightly nodded his head.
"He’ll do what?” demanded the
ludge.
■ “He’ll serve the term, it is his
pleasure,” replied the unabashed Sal
vatore.
“He’ll do nothing of the kind,” de
slared the judge.
Salvatore looked hurt. The kind
fudge did not understand. His fa
r ;her, a man growing old, would en
joy a term in jail. Would he not
' aave excellent shelter and plenty of
food? Would he not be free from
ihe probability of work overtaking
aim? Salvatore, a young man could
lake chances on work and food in
ihe big world, so why deny the older
man this splendid opportunity of
spending three glorious idle months
! in jail with plenty of food and the
jest of care.
Judge Farrell could not get Sal
vatore’s angle at all, and Salvatore
tvas just as plainly puzzled at the
refusal of the judge to grant such
r. a simple and kind request.
The father also showed his disap
pointment when Salvatore explained
matters to him just before being
led away, and there were tears in
his eyes when he shuffled out of
ihe court room. The Americanos are
past understanding.
Daugherty to Receive
$500,000 to Fight War
. Profiteers, Is Report
, WASHINGTON, May 11.—An ad
ditional appropriation of $500,000 to
enable Attorney General Daugherty
to prosecute war profiteers will be
rushed through congress, Represent
ative Madden, Illinois, chairman of
the house appropriations committee,
Baid today.
Mr. Daugherty appeared before
the house committee today to ask
this fund, and was subject to con
siderable criticism by Democrats for

bers of the house committee that in
vestigated war time expenditures of

DIOCESMOffI
■NIT MEET
•
COLUMBUS, Ga., May 11.—Two
important business sessions Thurs
day brought the fifteenth annual
council of the Diocese of Atlanta to
a close in the afternoon, and most of
the visiting delegates left the city
for their homes in various sections
of the state. The day’s program was
of a routine nature, Bishop Mikell,
Rev. T. H. Johnson, Mrs. Ralph
Jones, Mrs. A. H. Sterne, Rev. J.
M. Maxon, Dr. S. A. Wragg and
others participating.
Two able addresses featured Wed
nesday night’s session of the coun
cil. Dr. Maxon, of Nashville, Tenn.,
talking on “The Church in the Unit
ed States,” and Dr. H. F. Saumenig,
of the mission board, speaking on
“The Church in the Diocese.” This
session was concluded with a talk on
“Woman’s Work in the Church,” by
Mrs. Ulric Atkinson, head of the
Woman’s Auxiliary.
The marked growth and progress
of the Diocese of Atlanta was inter
estingly summarized by Bishop
Mikel, who told of the nation-wide
campaign of the church. In part
the bishop said:
“In 1907 there were 29 clergy in
the diocese; there are now 41.
"In 1907 there were 14 parishes
and 19 organized missions; there are
now 17 parishes and 30 organized
missions.
“In 1907 there were 4,988 commu
nicants; there are now 6,000.
"In 1907 there were 2,152 pupils
in the Sunday schools; there are now
2,785.
"In 1907 the amount contributed
to the work of the diocese was $3,-
937.99. Last year there was contri
buted to the work of the diocese
$23,933.21.
"In 1907 the total contribution in
the diocese were $174,927.29. In
1920 this total was $278,413.54.
“In 1907 the contributions of the
diocese to the general church were
$6,298.25. Last year the contribu
tions of the diocese to the general
church were $29,585.58.
“These vital statistics are for 1920.
The statistics for 1921 are not avail
able because the rectors and parish
treasurers simply will not hand in
their reports in time for the informa
tion to reach the diocesan council.

REPOBTVIIIOICATES
EMMGBUH
WASHINGTON, May 11.—The re
port of the special treasury commit
tee which made an inventory of the
supplies and equipment of the bureau
of engraving and printing following
the recent reorganization of bureau’s
personnel completed today, is under
stood to be a substantial vindication
of the declaration by treasury offi
cials that no material output of ille
gal bond, note or stamp issues had
taken place within recent years.
The report, which is expected to
go to .Secretary Mellon this after
noon, will record, however, that a
discrepancy of some fifty sheets was
found when a was made of
the special paper used in the bureau
for printing of bonds and flotes.
Since the discrepancy occurred
within the period covered by the last
four years or operation of the bu
reau and was not confined to any
one section of the institution, officials
held that the missing material would
not have been sufficient, even if di
verted to illegal purposes, to have
given foundation to the charges that
the country has been "flooded with
duplicated bonds.”

ROADS MOT FARM
SHOP RHWR WORK
CHICAGO, May 11.—Contracting
shop repair work to outside firms
by a railroad company was declared
a violation of the transportation act,
and contrct provisions conflicting
with the wages and working rules
laid down by the railroad labor
board were declared illegal in a de
cision handed down by the board
Wednesday. The decision was char
acterized by the board as the most
important it has rendered since its
c tablishment.
The decision, which is the first of
a series to be handed down on dis
putes over "farming out” railroad
labor, was made in the controversy
between the union shop crafts and
the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad.
The board declared its pronounce
ment went “to the vitals of the
tran spor tation. ”
Declaring that he agreed with the
contention made by th6 police that
“Chicago is in a state of warfare,”
Judge Scanlan today refused to issue
writs of habeas corpus releasing
Shea and Laflerty. He told the po
lice these two men could be held at
least until Saturday.
About a dozen other applications
for writs of habeas corpus were up
before other judges.
George Gorman, assistant state’s
attorney, is opposing writs of habeas
corpus, stated that “Chicago is in a
state of warfare and to release these
men will only mean more murders,
more bombing and more violence. ’
Judge Scanlon interrupted by telling
Mr. Gorman that he agreed “about
the warfare,” and denied the writs.
At the same time Joseph David
in effect refused to release Murphy
and Mader, the latter an ex-convict
and head of the building trades
union. Judge David refused to hear
the pleas, postponing the case until
tomorrow at the request of the po
lice.
Four True Bills
Returned Against
Wadley Cashier
LOUISVILLE, Ga., May 11.—
Much interest here has centered in
the sitting of the special grand jury
drawn for the special purpose of in
vestigating alleged irregularities in
connection with the closing of the
Jeffefson County bank, at - Wadley,
and the bank at Matthews, which
was a branch bank of the one at
Wadley. A warrant had been sworn
out for the cashier of the defunct
bank at Wadley, W. C. Marion.
The grand jury, after deliberating
most of Wednesday, returned four
true bills against W. C. Marion, the
first for embezzlement of $27,000,
second, fraudulent bank insolvency;
third, accepting deposits after insol
vency, and fourth, forgery.
W. H. Burwell, of Sparta, counsel
for the defense, challenged the regu
lar grand jury, and found every
member of the same disqualified ex
cept one. Judge R. N. Hardeman,
after sustaining the motion of At
torney Burwell for purging the
grand jury, had forty-eight addi
tional names drawn from the jury
box, from which a special grand jury
was qualified.
Because of the legal talent array
ed and of the many interests con
cerned, x this will be one of the hard
est fought cases perhaps that has
been brought to the superior court
of Jefferson county in the last dec
ade. W. H. Burwell, of Sparta; J.
R. Phillips and W. W. Abbot, Jr.,
and M. C. Barwick, of Louisville, will
Represent the defense. Solicitor W.
F. Grey, of the middle circuit; R. G.
Price, attorney so rthe state banking
department in this particular case;
R. V. Harris and R. N. Hardeman,
Jr., of Louisville, will prosecute the
case.
While the criminal docket of this
session of the court will not be tak
en up until next week, it is not def
initely known whether the Marion
case will be taken up this term or
not.

She Won Her Bet
LONDON. —A bookmaker, fined in
a local police court for street betting,
owed his fall to his honesty and his
betrayer’s charitableness. A Ken
sington woman saw from a window a
shabbily dressed man standing at
the street corner. Occasionally a
passerby would stop and hand him
some money. Touched, the woman
wrote a hurried note, “Never say
die,” and placing it in an envelope
with a two shilling piece went out
and gave it to the man. Three days
later, returning from a shopping ex
pedition, she was stopped by the
man, who said: “Here you are,
lady—twenty-four shillings. ‘Never
Say Die’ won at 11 to 1.” While
she was obtaining an explanation
from her unexpected benefactor, a
policeman joined the conversation.
Woodrow Wilson
AS I KNOW HIM
BY JOSEPH P. TUMULTY.
CHAPTER XLI.
When the president received this
explanation from Mr. Lansing, he
sent for me to visit with him in his
compartment. At the time I ar
rived he was seated in his little
study, engaged in preparing his
speech for the night’s meeting. Turn
ing to me, with a deep show of feel
ing he said: “Read that, and tell
me what you think of a man who
was my associate on the other side
and who confidentially expressed
himself to an outsider in such a
fashion? Were I in Washington f
would at once demand his resigna
tion! That kind of disloyalty must
not be permitted to go unchallenged
for a single minute. The testimony
of Bullitt is a confirmation of tlie
suspicions I have had with reference
to this individual. I found the same
attitude of mind on the part of Lan
sing on the other side. I could find
his trail everywhere I went, but
they were only\ suspicions and it
would not be fair for me to act upon
them. But here in his own state
ment is a verification at last of
everything I have suspected. Think
of it! This from a man whom 1
raised from the level of a subordi
nate to the great office of secretary
of state of the United States. My
God! I did not think it was possi
ble for Lansing to act in this way.
When we were in Paris I found that
Lansing and others were constantly
giving out statements that did not
agree with my veiwpoint. When I
had arranged a settlement, there
would appear from some source I
could not locate, unofficial state
ments telling the correspondents not
to take things too seriously; that a
compromise would be made, and this
news, or rather news of this kind,
was harmful to the settlement I had
already obtained and quite natural
ly gave the conference the impres
sion that Lansing and his kind were
speaking for me, and then the
French would say that I was bluf
fing.”
I am convinced that only the
president’s illness a few days later
prevented an immediate demand on
his part for the resignation of Mr.
Lansing.
Lansing’s Attitude
That there was not real devotion
on the part of Mr. Lansing for the
president is shown by the following
incident:
A few days after the president re
turned from the west and lay seri
ously ill at the White House, with
physicians, and nurses gathered
about his bed, Mr. Lansing sought
a private audience with me in the
cabinet room. He informed me that
he had called diplomatically to sug
gest that in view of the incapacity
of the president we should arrange
to call in the vice president to act
in his stead as soon as possible, read
ing to me from a book which he had
brought from the state department,
which I afterward learned was “Jef
ferson’s Manual,” the following
clauses of the United States con
stitution:
“In case of the removal of the
president from office, or his death,
resignation, or inability to discharge
the powers and duties of the said
office, the same shall devolve upon
the vice president.”
Upon reading this, I coldly
turned to Mr. Lansing and said:
“Mr. Lansing, the Constitution is
not a dead letter with the White
House. I have read the Con
stitution and do not find myself
in need of any tutoring at your
hands of the provision you have
just read.” When I asked Mr.
Lansing the question as to who
should certify to the disability of
the president, he intimated that
that would be a job for either
Dr. Grayson or myself. I imme
diately grasped the full signifi
cance of what he intimated and
said: “You may rest assured that
while Woodrow Wilson is lying
in the White House on the broad
of his back, I will not be a party
to ousting him. He has been
too kind, too loyal and too won
derful to me to receive such
treatment at my hands.” Just
as I uttered this statement. Dr.
Grayson appeared in the cabinet
room and I turned to him and
said: “And I am sure that Dr.
Grayson will never certify to his
disability. Will you, Grayson?”
Dr. Grayson left no doubt in Mr.
Lansing’s mind that he would
not do as Mr. Lansing suggested.
I then notified Mr. Lansing that
if anybody outside of the White
House circle attempted to cer
tify to the president’s disability
that Grayson and I would stand
together and repudiate it. I
added that if the president were
in a condition to know of this
episode he would, in my opin
ion, take decisive measures.
That ended the interview.
It is unnecessary to say that no
future attempt was made by Mr.
Lansing to institute ouster proceed
ings against; his chief.
I never attempted to ascertain
what finally influenced the action of
the president peremptorily to de
mand the resignation of Mr. Lan
sing. My own judgment is that
the demand came as the culmination
of repeated acts of what the presi
dent considered disloyalty on Mr.
Lansing’s part while in Paris, and
that the situation was evidently ex
aggerated by Mr. Lansing’s notes to
Mexico during the president’s ill
ness.
Lansing’s Resignation

dent’s stenographer the letter to Mr.
Lansing, intimating that his resig
nation would not be a disagreeable
thing to the president, I conferred
with the president at once and ar
gued with him that in the present
state of public opinion it was the
wrong time to do the right thing.
At the time the president was seat
ed in his invalid chair on the White
House portico. Although physically,
weak, he was mentally active and
alert. Quickly, he took hold of my
phrase and said, with a show of the
old fire that I had seen on so many
occasions: “Tumulty, it is never the
wrong time to spike disloyalty.
When Lansing sought to oust me, I
was upon my back. I am on my
feet now, and I will not have dis
loyalty about me.”
When the announcement of Lan
sing’s resignation was made, the
flood-gates of fury broke about the
president, but he was serene
throughout it all. When I called at
the White House on the following
Sunday, I found him calmly seated
in his bathroom, with his colored
valet engaged in the not arduous
task of cutting his hair. Looking at
me with a smile in his eye, he said:
“Well, Tumulty, have I any friends
left?” “Very few, governor,” I said.
Whereupon, he replied: “Os course
it will be another two days’ wonder.
But in a few days what the country
considers an indiscretion on my part
In getting rid of Lansing will be for
gotten, but when the sober, second
thought of the country begins to as
sert itself, what will stand out will
be the disloyalty of Lansing to me.

Attention to Strike
During the illness of the president
his political enemies sought to con
vey the impression that he was in
capacitated for the duties of his of
fice. As one who came in daily con
tact with him I know how baseless
were these insinuations. As a mat
ter of fact, there was not a whole
week during his entire illness that
he was not in touch with every mat
ter upon which he was called to act
and upon which he was asked to ren
der judgment. The White House
files contain humerous memoranda
showing his interest in all matters
to which department heads felt it
incumbeent to call to his attention
during his illness- One of the most
critical things upon which he passed
was the question of the miners’
strike, which resulted in the begin
ning, from an injunction suit by the
attorney general, Mr. Palmer, to re
strain the miners from carrying
out their proposed strike. This was
one of th most critical situations
that arose during his illness, and
with which he daily kept in touch.
Uncomplainingly the president ap
plied himself to the difficult tasks
of the western trip. While the first
meeting at Columbus was a disap
pointment as to attendance, as we
approached the west the crowds
grew in numbers and the enthusi
asm became boundless. The idea of
the league spread and spread as
we neared the coast. Contrary to
the impression in the east, the presi
dent’s trip west was a veritable tri
umph for him and was. so success
ful that we had planned, upon the
completion of the western trip, to
Invade the enemy’s country, Sena
tor Lodge’s own territory, the New
England states, and particularly
Massachusetts. This was our plan,
fully developed and arranged, when
about 4 o’clock in the morning of
September 26, 1919, Dr. Grayson
knocked at the door of my sleeping
compartment and told me to dress
quickly, that the president was seri
ously ill.
As we walked toward the presi
dent’s car, the doctor told me in a
few words of the president’s trou
ble and said that he greatly feared
it might end fatally if we should
attempt to continue the trip, and
that it was his duty to inform the
president that by all means the trip
must be canceled; but that he did
not feel free to suggest it to the
president without having my co-op
eration and support. When we ar
rived at the president’s drawing
room, I found him fully dressed and
seated in his chair. With great dif
ficulty he was able to articulate.
His face was pale and wan. One
Bide of it had fallen, and his condi
tion was indeed pitiful to behold.
Quickly I reached the same conclu
sion as that of Dr. Grayson, as to
the necessity for the immediate can
cellation of the trip, for to continue
it, in my opinion, meant death to
the president. Looking at me, with
great tears running down his face,
he.said:
"My dear boy, this has never hap
pened to me before. I felt it com
ing on yesterday. I do not know
what to do.” He then pleaded with
us not to cut short the trip. Turn
ing to both of us, he said: “Don’t
you see that if you cancel this trip,
Senator Lodge and his friends will
say that I am a quitter and that the
western trip was a failure, and the
treaty will be lost.” Reaching over
to him, I took both of his hands and
said: “What difference, my dear
governor, does it make what they
say? Nobody in the world believes
you are a quitter, but it is your life
that we must now consider. We
must cancel the trip, and I am sure
that when the people learn of your
condition there will be no misunder
standing.”

CALOMEL IT ALL
It’s Quicksilver,. Salivates,
causes Rheumatism and <
Bone Decay . j
The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may shock your
liver to start bone necrosis. Calo
mel is dangerous. It is mercury,
quicksilver. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle
of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few
cents which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t
start your liver and straighten yotl
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don’t take calomel! It can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or
a wild-cat. Take Dodson’s Liver
Tcne which straightens you right up
and makes you feel fine. No salts
necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate. —(Advertisement.)
