WASHINGTON, March I.—The
Ministration tax bill now goes
m the Crying pan into the fire.
3 many cooks—an unwieldly
ise of representatives—spoiled
• Mellon plan, and the measure
ich now goes to the senate is so
rred and burned that nobody can
im it is satisfactory as it stand*,
th Republicans and Democrats,
as President Coolidge and
iretary Mellon, expect a better
to come out of the senate,
Jut the senate is bound to tear
whole tax bill to pieces and re
te t'he house measure. The tem-
between the Insur-
and the Demo
ts’ did not succeed in passing the
n offered by Representative Gar
, Democrat, of Texas, but it did
ceed in defeating the Mellon
edule of rates. The difference
the Garner plan and that
ich was finally adopted by the
ise on the suggestion of Repre
tative Longworth, of Ohio, Re
>lican leader,'is not very substan
. In principle the Longwortn
n is much the same as the Gar
proposal, because both ignore
argument of Secretary Mellon
the effect that high surtaxes are
•ided and cannot be collected.
>n reaching the higher incomes
specially over s2oo,ooo—there is
y a slight difference in the es
t of a 37 1-2 per cent surtax, pre
ted by Mr. Longworth, as com-'
ed with a 44 per cent surtax
posed by Mr. Garner. The argu
nt of the treasury department
i been that not until surtaxes
been reduced to approximately
per cent will the large investors
away from tax exempt securi
to taxable investments.
Duse Measure Would be Vetoed
'he Republicans in the hopse
adopted a bill which contra
fl the Mellon principle, and judg
by the informal assertions from
White House, this is such a
terial change that a presidential
o would not be surprising. To
■O, however, at this time is not
sidered discreet, for the achninis
tlon hopes to rally its forces in
senate and push the surtax rate,
rn from 37 1-51 per cent, at least
far as 30 per cent. The Demo
te, on the other hand, will wage
is fight for the Garner plan,
ch has been adopted more or less
the Democratic program. The
urgent Republicans in the sen
are not as quick to yield as were
insurgents in the hpuse, and
western senators who will join
Democrats are not as easily in
flated or as likely to be dis
bed, whether the tax bill as
ised by the senate bears a Demo
tic or a Republican label.
'he house Republican leaders
d'e’ their compromise and won
T the insurgent Republicans on
plea that the bill going through
house should bear a Republican
el, so that the country would not
re the impression of a Republican
unity. To gain that point, their
publican leaders sacrificed the
lion plan and the administration
luiesced largely in the hope that
senate would rewrite the bill,
e fight has just begun. Many of
i insurgent Republican senators
o will desert their party’s propos
are not up for re-election this
;umn as are all members of the
ise, and therefore the influence
party regularity is not as strong.
The only hope for a surtax rate
rerHhan that passed by the house
i in the possibility of a break in
ranks of the Democrats. The
ne hope was Indulged by the ad
ilstration in the house, but the
mocrats stood unwaveringly by
Garner plan. Judging by the
•eches which have been made in
i senate thus far. there is a ten
icy to support the Garner plan
ong the Democrats, and no Dem
atic senator has as yet de
red himself for the Mellon rates.
Inch Compromising' Necessary
’ll*' senate finance committee of
irse will hold extensive hearings,
ire will be prolonged debate, and
en the bill finally emerges from
senate for conference between
i houses ft will be a radically dif
ent bill from that which has just
ssed the house. Then will come
itracted discussions in the con
ence iijp an attempt to reach a
npromise once more, and Presi
lt Coolidge will finally be pre
ited’with a bill the rates in which
is impossible at this moment to
ecast, because they will be In
ted as a result of continuous
npromising.
dr. Coolidge *will veto the bill
>n only if he thinks that by doing
he can force congress to amend

mces are it will be midsummer

WILSON’S POLITICAL DEBUT
WAS CAUSED BY HIS DEFEAT
AS PRESIDENT OF PRINCETON

ernor of New Jersey After
Losing Bitter Fight Over
Graduate College i

CHAPTER 111
Nineteen hundred eight
and nine were two eventful
years in the life of Woodrow
Wilson. They were curiously like the
years of his later battle for the
League of Nations. In acrimony
and bitterness the controversy at
Princeton over the kind of a grad
uate school to be established was
more intense perhaps than the leg
islative dispute which led to Presi
dent Wilson’s physical break down.
There is. an interesting analogy in
the circumstances of the two fights
both of which made him taste the
dregs of defeat.
Personal friendships were severed
in Princeton which time never re
united. Charges and counter-charges
were made on the meaning of
phrases and ambiguous utterances.
Dr. Wilson’s opponents did not
hesitate to accuse him of a species
of “intellectual dishonesty.’’ And
he, on his part, attributed to them
motives of personal exploitation
rather than the best interests of the
university.
For thirty years 'there had been
an unbroken intimacy between the
late Moses Taylor Pyne and Wood
row Wilson. No friendship of later
days ever compared with it. Mr.
Pyne was chairman of the Graduate
School committee of the board of
trustees. He issued a statement an
nouncing his regretful opposition to
Dr. Wilson's plan. Before it was
printed, I took the statement to Dr.
Wilson to obtain his comment for
the newspapers. He was visibly af
fected but would not say a word
for publication. *
Refused Proctor’s Gift
“If you give the other side rope
enough,” he remarked, “they’ll al
ways hang themselves.” It was a
characteristic comment. He was
fearless, and unrelenting. He be
lieved in ultimate vindication. The
Graduate School controversy came
to a head when William Cooper
Proctor, of Cincinnati, Ohio, manu
facturer of "Ivory” soan. and him
self an alumnus of Princeton, of
fered $500,000 for the building of a
Graduate School provided the trus
tees could raise an equal, amount.
Woodrow Wilson turned the gift
down. His defense was that the
gift had "strings tied to it.” He
thought the reservations interfered .
Tsth the authority of the board of
trutees to administer the university.
One of the conditions of the gift
was that Dean West should remain
at the head of the Graduate School, I
Dean West was a close friend of
Mr. Proctor and was instrumental
•in having the offer made. He was
an energetic champion of the Grad
uate School and was always per
suading men of wealth to give their
money to
When the Proctor gift was re
jected,. alumni sentiment became
hostile. The Princeton club of New
York was 50 antagonistic that for
a time it looked as if an invitation
to speak which had been extended to
Dr. Wilson before the Proctor in
cident became acute would be with
drawn. Woodrow Wilson was not
in the best of health and took a
needed rest in Bermuda early in
the year 1910. When he returned
the Princeton club did not withdraw
the invitation. Neither did Mr. Wil
son seek to avoid it. He went
straight "to the camp of the enemy.
The tension that evening was in
describable. Never in his later ca
reer did Woodrow Wilson face an
audience more hostile to him. The
perfunctory cheers at the opening
of the meeting were not as usual for
“Wilson” but for “the President of
Princeton”—the irony of which did
not fail to escape his notice.
"You want to know why I turned
down a million dollars,” was Dr.
Wilson’s opening remark. He talk
ed for more than an hour. His words
were eloquent, his argument had tlie
ring of sincerity, was never
interrupted with applause. At the
end a few cla'pped their hands—the
ordeal was over. Classmates of Dr.
Wilson, men like Robert Bridges,
associate editor of Scribner’s Maga
zine, reiterated their faith in him
but for the most r rt the speech
made /no converts.
Opposition Grows
Reporters were not supposed to be
present yet a full account, of what,
occurred plus the prejudiced (slant/
of those who opposed Dr. Wilsont
was published in two New Yorl&
newspapers the next day (< a cir
cumstance that added fuel to the'
flames. Two, stenographers > took
down what was said. Ther,i had
been an undercurrent of talkyabout
Dr. Wilson’s constant' denials of
his reported attitude on the Grad
uate School question. No opportu
nity, his opponents said, would he
given this time to deny what he
said.
Inside and outside of Princeton,
the division between pro-dVilson and
anti-Wilson was sharply defined.
Among the members of the faculty,
social invitations were carefully ex
tended so that wives o£ the support
ers of one group would not meet the
other side.
Gradually the demand that Dr.
Wilson resign the presidency of
Princeton began to grow in volume. |
"Wilson must go,” was the slogan
of his opponents. Some years be-1
fore, George Haiwey in the “North ;
American Review'’ had written an
article calling attention to the pe
culiar fitness of Woodrow Wilson to
be president of the United States.
The students wrote a song about it
and jokingly refused to part with
him. There began to be rumors now
that he might become the Demo
cratic nominee for governor of New
Jersey. Some of his enemies sin
cerely hoped so. One o£ the “bosses”
in New Jersey polities was even
given reason to suspect that if he
could accomplish the nomination of:
Woodrow Wilson and his withdraw-
i 1 you have always bought bears sig
1 I nature of
1 (Adverttsemer:
al from the university, some of the
wealthy alumni might be persuaded
to contribute heavily to the cam
-1 paign fund. This was stoutly de
| nied and probably wasn't true so
far as any would-be-contributors
, were concerned but unquestionably
: the anti-Wilson men wished the
I Democratic bosses all the luck in the
world if thej r only would furnish the
I circumstances that would take Dr.
Wilson out of their way.
Yet Dr. Wilson did.not seek away
out. He talked politics to a few
close friends. If he was to leave
I Princeton at all he wanted to do so
with a victory behind him and not
I defeat.
In the spring of 1910, I was call
: ing at Dr. Wilson’s office to get a
copy of a speech he was to deliver a
few days later. Professor Robert Mc-
Elroy who lectured on American
i history and who had recently writ
i ten the authorized biography of
: Grover Cleveland was leaving Dr.
1 Wilson’s office.
Famous Bryan Letter
"What do you think,” exclaimed
Professor McElroy. "Dr. Wilson
thinks we are bound to have a third
party in 1912 and he is inclined to
believe he has a chance to be its
presidential candidate.”
It was' my first insight into the
independent views of Woodrow Wil
son on politics. I knew he cherish
ed no admiration for William Jen
nings Bryan’s policies. Dr. Wil
son’s famous letter to Andrew O.
Joline, a distinguished Princeton
alumnus, denouncing a speech at
Madison Square Garden on govern
ment ownership of railways deliver
ed by Mr. Bryan on his return from
Europe was not then public. In
that letter Dr. Wilson expressed the
wish that somebody would "knock
Mr. Bryan Hn to a cocked liat” once
and for all. While Dr. Wilson was
not in sympathy with the Bryan
{loctrines he was not fond of the
‘‘bosses” who exercised so big an in
fluence in the Democratic party. He
thought the country had tired of
both parties and would discard them
I unless there was reform from with
in.
Woodrow Wilson made many
speeches during the years 1909 ansT
1910 and attracted attention wher
ever he spoke. His Princeton critics
accused him of making a campaign
for the presidency of the United
States. They said his whole quar
rel about democracy at Princeton
was- simply a vehicle for the ad
vancement of his candidacy—a pub
' licity effort. The anti-Wilson group
i inspired several newspaper articles
I along this line.
Dr. Wilson undobtedly had an eye
i to future but he was endeavor-
I ing to win his Princeton fight by
j building up such a prestige with
■ the American people that his views
on educational matters would carry
1 weight with his own alumni and
| board of trustees. He had no thought
I of resigning until he won.
Suddenly in June 1910 just before
the commencement exercises which
were to bring alumni from all parts
of the country to Princeton, there
came a development which changed
the whole course of affairs. Isaac
Wyman, of Boston, had died and his
will provided what was then esti
mated to be a gift of approximately
four or five million dollars for
Princeton. Os all things in the will
was a provision that the fund was
for a Graduate College and that it
was Jo be expended as the execu
tors ’directed—and one of the execu
tors named was none other than
Dean Andrew F. West, the principal
antagonist of Dr. Wilson.
It was my duty-, as Associated
Press correspondent to carry the
first news of Mr. Wyman’s bequest
to Dr. Wilson to get his comfnent.
The expression of disappointment on
his face as he read the dispatch was
unmistakable. He was silent for
several minutes.
"What shall I say?” I asked Dr.
Wilson.
"What can I say?” was his hope
less reply.
Farewell to Princeton
“Well," I suggested, "since the
funds are so large it would seem as
if the site ‘of the Graduate School
would become a secondary
and possibly there is money enough
now to buy all the intervening
property between the two proposed
sites a ’ make a greater university.
The Graduate College would then be
on university grounds as you have
wanted.”
Dr. Wilson adopted the suggestion
and issued a statement along those
lines expressing satisfaction with
the bequest and the hope that the
university might now go forward
(With the Graduate School plan.,
■! “A voice from the grave.”, was
Dean West’s comment as he read
the news next day of the Wyman
bequest. Dr. Wilson was beaten at
last. He felt it keenly. At the
’ commencement exercises 'when the
valedictorian of my class pronounced
his farewell, it was not the ordinary
good-bye. It was Woodrow Wil- j
son’s valedictory too. Tears stream- ■
ed down his face as the students
gave him again and again that day
thunderous cheers, a testimoni 1 of
their affection and esteem. They
knew little of the merits of the
Graduate School controversy and
cared, less. They knew only that he
was a strong man, a capable teach
er and an inspiration to them all.
During that summer Dr. Wilson
had several offers to .become the
president of various educational in
stitutions. He declined them. In
stead he became a receptive candi
date for the Democratic nomination
I for governor of New Jersey. When
I elected in the autumn of that year,
I he turned his back on his Princeton
1 associations and never again identic
I tied himself with the university. Ilf
and his family retained their Prince
ton home during the two and a half
years while he was governor. But
in the social life of Princeton Wood- '
row Wilson never entered again. ■
A new president was chosen for
the university. Dr. John G. Hibben, ,
professor of logic, a man with
whom Dr. M ilson had for years been j
intimate. He sent no word of con
gratulation to Dr. Hibben. He
squelched in later years the efforts
:of Dr. Hibben to bring about a
' reconciliation.
Indeed once when Woodrow Wil
' son as president of the United States 1
l went to Princeton to vote. Dr. Hib- j
I ben went to the polling booth tn pay
‘ his respects but Wpodrow Wilson
j turned on his heel and walkeffiway.
1 Dr. Hibben had been allied with the
i faction that opposed him. That was I
Woodrow Wilson's way of showing I
I his displeasure. Forgiveness was not ,
1 in, his vocabulary. People were to |
Woodrow Wilson either loyal or dis
j loyal. And when he broke with them
I he rarely if hver looked their wav
, again.

Woodrow Wilson's early comments

opinions of Theodore Roosevelt.)
FRAME-UP CHftRGED
BY CHAR! ES FORBES
■ST HIGHER-UP
WASHINGTON, March 2.—Se
verely denouncing witnesses before
the Chicago grand jury that indict
ed him for conspiracy and bribery
in connection with his administra
tion of the veterans’ bureau, Charles
R. Forbes declared in two state
ments issued from his attorney’s of
fice Saturday that ho was the victim
of a “frame-up,” and that he was
prepared to name a “high individ
ual, unofficially connected with the
government,” who, he charged, “laid
the plot.” *
After an allday conference with
his attorney, James S. Easby-Smith,
it was announced that the ground
work for Forbes’ defense was being
laid and a list of witnesses being
considered. /
Friends /of Forbes indicated tjaat
Mrs. Caroline Votaw, sister of the
late President Harding, would be
called as a witness, but Forbes’ at
torney declared he had made no
plans to summon her.
Papers had not been served on
Forbes late today, but it was an
nounced that arrangements had
been made for him to appear volun
tarily Monday before a United States
commissioner here and arrange
bond. He would go to Chicago vol
untarily, it was stated, and not op
pose extradition.
Frame-up Charged
"If ever there wag a contemptible
frame-up,” Forbes said to newspaper
men, in the presence of his attor
ney, “I am the man who was
framed, and I know the exact day
the plot was laid and the individual
who directed the frame-up. He is a
high individual, unofficially connect
ed with the government.”
Forbes was particularly severe in
his attacks on Elias H. Mortimer,
narned as tlie agent of Thompson &
Black, contractors, and Brigadier
General Charles E. Sawyer. He at
tacked Mortimer's testimony before
the senate investigating committee,
and asked in one of his Statements
why he had not been indicted along
with himself and J. W. Thompson.
In his second statement, in an
swer to questions put to him by
mewspaper men, Forbes referred to
the visit to Chicago by Attorney
General Daugherty and questioned
whether it was to assist the grand
jury in returning indictments or for
other reasons.
Replying to questions as to an al
leged connection of Mortimer with
the department of justice, Forbes in
terrogated*!
“Why has he been at large on bail
nearly a year under an. indictment
for conspiracy to violate the prohi
bition law, returned in the United
States court in New York with no
action taken in the case since he
gave bond on June 3, 1923, Colonel
Tom Felder, Daugherty’s associate
in the Morse pardon case, appearing
as his counsel?
Justice Department Questioned .
"Why has not the department of
justice taken atcion against him and
certain officials for conspiracy to
violate the liquor laws, based on doc
umentary evidence furnished by me
to the department of justice eighteen
months ago, the discovery of which
was the first intimation I had of Mor
timer’s real character?”
Forbes charged that the "real
crooks” were being shielded. He fur
ther charged that General Sawyer’s
work in connection with bureau ac
tivities ‘‘had more to do with pre
venting proper admir istration of the
laws for the relief of the ex-service
man than all other causes combined.”
He made a sizzling attack on the
physician of the le.te President Har
ding, his charges ringing with in
vective and denunciation.
Forbes declared he had "great sym
pathy,” however, for J. W. Thomp
son, one of those indicted, "because I
believed he is as completely inno
cent as myself,” he said his acquaint
ance with Thompson slight and
“purely social,” having been intro
duced to him in the veterans’ bureau
by Mrs. Votaw.
“Knowing the utter falsity of Mor
timer’s story concerning any con
spiracy or other improper conduct
between Mr. Thompson and myself,"
Forbes asserted, “I am convinced
that his testimony relating to trans
actions between him and Thompson,
of which I have no personal knowl
edge, are equally false.”
Forbes asserted the constitution
him Ihe right to present to
“my complete defense before the
Chicago tribunal and I intend to
exercise it to the limit.”
Defends His Administration
He charged there was “on truth”
in the testimony given before the
senate committee which “reflected”
upon his “honor and integrity,” and
that evidence taken before it late at
night on November 7, 1923, tended
to show an attempt to bribe a wit
ness, and that this testimony had
been "suppressed” by the commit
tee.
Alluding t 6 his administration of
hospital construction, Forbes de
clared:
“If I wore crooked, or dishonest,
would I seek to locate hospitals on
government property when the law
gave me the right to choose the
ground? Would I have turned over
the construction to the army and
navy to whom I have entire juris
diction,’ control and authority?”
He added< he believed both the
army and navy had the “finest en
gineering organizations in the Unit
ed States.”

11. S. fflfilffi GUARD
INHONDURAN PORT
WASHINGTON, March 2.—With
a force of American marines and
blue jackets guarding the consulate
at Ceiba and an American destroyer
speeding from Jamaica to the Hon
duran port of Puerto Cortez, the
Washington government has been
forced to take action in connection
with the confusing revolutionary out
breaks in the Honduran republic,
which already have cost the life of
one American citizen.
An American negro, whose name
has not been reported as yet, was
killed in the recent fighting at Ceiba,
during which the consulate was re
peatedly struck by bullets.
Rear Admiral Dayton, command
ing the special service squadron in
Central American waters and whose
flagship, the cruiser Denver, is now
at Ceiba, has found it necessary to
double the marine guard of thirty
five men first sent ashore to protect
the consulate.
An additional force of thirty-fivfe
blue jackets has joined the marines
of the guard, and Admiral Dayton
reported today that the situation at
Ceiba was so menacing to American
interests that he did not consider it
wise to withdraw hts ship from that
place at present.
While the revolutionary movement
which followed the failure to elect a
new president by constitutional
means has been a double-headed af
fair from the first, apparently there
are separate revolts by various lead
ers also in jirogress and banditry has
broken out in some places.
Name of La Follette
To Be Put on Ballot
By Court’s Command
BISMARCK, N. D., March I.
Senator Robert M. La Follette’s
name will go on the Republican
presidential ballot in the March 18
primary in North Dakota in con
formity with a court order issued
late today, according to Thomas
Hall, secretary of state.
STEAM ROLLER TACTICS T
FEARED AT CONVENTION
WASHINGTON, March I.—Sena
tor LaFollette, of Wisconsin, leader
of the Republican insurgents, an
nounced today that he had with
drawn his name from the North
Dakota presidential primary be
cause of a belief that his present
duty is in the senate, and that the
“steam roller” will be operated at
the Cleveland convention.
The announcement was in the form
of a telegram to J, C. Olson, chair
man of the LaFollette campaign com
mittee of North Dakota. The sena
tor said he had withdrawn his name
for the same reasons that have con
trolled him in refusmg to be a can
didate in primaries in other states.
"In the first place,” he said, “I
feel that my present duty lies in the
senate of the United States, where
events of far-reaching importance
are occurring. I cannot leave my
post here, where my voice and my
vote may be of some service to the
nation, in obder to promote my per
sonal interests elsewhere.
"In the second place, I have no il
lusions about the Cleveland conven
tion.’ The steam roller will be op
erated there by the same forces that
controlled it in 1912 ana other years.
The arbitacary increase of the un
representative southern delegations
is sufficient proof of this.

ROM RIJiFRS SLIP
FOR,ODD CASES OVER
EVERY THIRTY DAYS
WASHINGTON, March I.—One
hundred thousand cases of liquor
are smuggled into the United States
monthly by rum-runners off the At
lantic and gulf states, according to
coast guard officials charged with
preventing the traffic.
This estimate was given to the
house appropriations subcommittee
which drafted the deficiency bill re
ported today, alloting an additional
$13,853,989 for the coast guard serv
ice.
In testimony before the subcom
mittee February 25, Commander
Root, of the service, who had made
a special investigation of rum-run
ning activities, said:
“The smugglers’ high sea force at
present consists of 34 steamers and
132 sailing vessels, ranging in size
from-35 tons to 3,000 tons. Some of
these vessels are capable of speeds
up to 19 knots. The majority fly
foreign flags. The auxiliary crafts
for making shore contacts consist
of several hundred gasoline-driven
craft, about 30 per cent of which
are good for 25 knots.
“With our present force, during
the past 22 months, we have been
able to put out of business, by cap
ture or otherwise, 153* vessels. We
have captured the equivalent of 31,-
000 cases of liquor and caused to
be jettisoned under fire an amount
estimated at 20,000 cases.
“The so-called ‘rum row’ of New
York is maintained ostensibly as a
good business proposition, but prin
cipally as a diversion to hold to
that point the attention of as many
coast guard vessels as possible.”
Commander Root said the smug
glers maintained advance stations
at St. Johns, Newfoundland; St.
Pierre, Miquelon, th.e Azores, Ber
muda, and the Bahamas.
“The smugglers maintain a brib
ery fund,” he added, "and have a
shore organization for obtaining
supplies and making contracts.”
Commander Root said a report
from Havana showed that from
7,000 to 10,000 cases of liquor were
shipped weekly to Baltimore and
New York, concealed in cargoes of
sugar. Extensive smuggling activi
ties also exist in the Puget Sound
country, he said, adding:
“Not only is the traffic increas
ing, but the audacity, skill and cour
age of the enemy.”

WREIP REMOVED
FROM CHLIFORIM
OEMOCRRTIC POST
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.—A
motion removing E. L. Doheny ' as
second vice president of the organ
ization was adopted Saturday by the
Democratic state central committee
in meeting here. The motion also
included a request to Doheny that he
resign from the committee;
There was a loud chorus of “ayes”
when the motion was put to a vote,
and also many “noes,” but the af
firmative vote carried easily.
The vote was taken after a de
bate in which Doheny was charac
terized as “one of the ring-leaders in
the alleged corruption now being
unearthed in Washington.” On the
other hand, pleas were made by cer
tain committeemen that no action be
taken by the committee “until
Doheny has had a chance to defend
himself.”
