G. Telgan, who is Senator Johnson's secretary and campaign manager. Johnson, In his contest to unseat Schall, charges that indicted boot leggers were promised Immunity in return for contributions in tlie Schall campaign. Teigan said today: “We have affidavits from persons who thus made contributions and who say they were taken into a hotel mom and introduced to a 'Judge,' who assured them that their cases would be adjusted satisfactorily. The judge' thus Impersonated was in at least one case Judge McGee.” Teigan said such introductions to the fake "Judge” were especially im pressive, because Judge McGee was severe wtih dope peddlers and boot leggers.

Wilson in Jubilant Mood as He Sailed for Peace Conference; Tired and Haggard on Return By ( HARI.ES L SWKM.

I was at an aviation camp in Cali fornia when I lieurd that President Wilson was going to the peace con ference himself. I was discharged within a few dais thereafter and re ported back to Washington, to learn l Mat 1 had been ordered across coun try for the peace conference. I'p in his study, 1 met Mr. AVilson getting his paper* together to leave that night. There he told me that he want ed me to go across. "1 am going to need all my friends abroad,” he said. ”1 don't know how long we shall lie gone,” he replied in answer to my question, “Tint probably six weeks to two months. I don’t expect the work to be entirely finish ed then, but X think I shall tie able to leave by that time.” As early as litlfl I recall that Mr. Wilson whs contemplating ttie possi bility of traveling abroad. lie had hoped before the American declara tion of war that mediation would he conducted in the United States after the example of the Portsmouth con form , but lie was prepared then to carry his principles across the water if necessary. Rarely had I seen him In better hu mor than on the journey to Paris. The Imminence of the conference seemed to stimulate him. That and his In herent fondness for the water erased most of the care from his face and made him more genial than he had been since tlie war began. AA’hether chatting with members of the peace commission, at ills desk In the study fitted up for him on the ship, or walk ing the deck with a member of his party, he was unusually free from all restraint. Nightly he visited the movies in the main salon, he walked the deck and chatted with the news paper men and displayed a lively in terest in everything about him. lie paused now and then to speak of the difficulties ahead and of the inevitable disappointments, but an air of opti mism pervaded even these observa tions. figure Thirteen. The arrival of the peace ship at Rrest on December 13 again suggest ed the coincidence of the number 13 with many of the outstanding Inci dents of Mr. Wilson’s career. This particular number did Indeed arise with amazing persistence to be asso ciated with many Intimate and lmpor tant events of hla life. There were exactly 13 letters In his name; he began his 13th year of service at Princeton as the 13th president of the university and became president of the United States in 1913. He took more than a passing interest In the superstituttrip; he had complied a list of the number and variety of ways It had touched his career, and he considered it an omen of good for tune. In his first drafts of the league of nations he had consistently hdd it to 13 articles, making all additions supplementary articles. And. quite Incidentally, as 1 i wall, the number of people in his personal party going abroad was exactly 13. Ilis Great Reception. From Brest to 1’nrls, from Paris to London, and thence to Rome, was a personal triumph for Mr. Wilson. Eu rope literally went wild to honor hint lie was entertained by kings and princes, but the noisy, enthusiastic masses were not to be denied.'They thronged the squares, blocked the streets by the hundreds of thousands and insisted upon seeing him. The Place de la Concord* in Paris, the square at Milan in the shadow of the great cathedral, the Mall before Buckingham palace, are memories of a sea of faces upturned to the smil ing man on the balcony in somber gray and top hat, beside the pomp and color of royalty. America has its rear platforms; Europe its balconies' In the royal palace* he was unique. His sincere "good .morning" to the servants who waited on him, and his habit of attending to his own minor wants made him remembered kindly in more than one royal household. From Buckingham palace he paid a visit to Carlisle, the birthplace of his mother, and there he stood to be photographed with an old native who attended the Sunday school class of his grandfather. It was a flash light picture, and after it was taken the old fellow’, requested to have a second one made, because he "blinked" in the first. Cheerfully Mr. Wilson waited until the photographer set his flash and the old gentleman composed his features so that he would not blink, Small Powers Appealed In th epeace conference, it was touching to observe the attitude to ward him of the smaller powers and subject nations who had a cause to advance before the confererfbe. Al most invariably they addressed their arguments to Mr. Wilson. It was al ways "Mr. President this” or "Mr. President that," rarely "Gentlemen,” "M. Clemenceau," or "Mr. Prime Minister." The four would be ait ( —- > Announcing a New Hosiery Dept. Special Opening Week Values 1.00, 1.50, 1.85, 2.00 Mrs. Ruby Stevenson In Charge F. W.

Informally the meeting would be culled to order, amt tlie first speak er would gather up his paper and rise to make hla plea. Straighten ing his monocle or jerking his sleeve over a protruding cuff, he would turn to the quiet, intent man who leaned forward to catch every word, and be gin. “Mr. President—" To them he was the conference. With charming simplicity, they ex pected that by some magic lie could remove ethnological differences or dissipate national jealousies and write their aspirations into the treaty. Pet ty sovereigns from unheard of places came io plead their cause, not with the conference, but with the Ameri can president whose principles had penetrated to parts of the glolie where railroads and mails were unknown. On one occasion a group of peasants living in a tiny moiffitain pocket trav eled 4a miles on foot to a railroad sta tion. in order to go to Paris and ask Mr. Wilson to have their home land included within the domains of Poland, The earnestness with which he fol lowed the proceedings, his quick grasp and understanding of each problem as it arose was a subject of frequent comment at Paris. Around Mr. Wilson’s study were usually hung maps of the territories under dis pute at the moment, but It was not an unusual thing, during the sessions of the Big Four, to see Mr. Wilson and one of the four on their hands and knees over a huge map spread before them, making their arguments literally on the border line. Best in Small Groups. Always at his best in a small group, where the contact was per sonal, Mr. Wilson’s arguments In the Big Four meetings were rendered more effective by taking on the color of his unrestrained personality. He was brilliant in argument, as dis tinguished from oratory. He was never as “moving" in speech as, for instance, Mr. Lloyd George. His ad dress was dependent more upon logic and conviction than emotional lm AKVKKTISKMKNT The Funk & Wagnalls STANDARD Cross-Word Puzzle BOOK With Celluloid Work Leaf book of 50 true Crons-Word Puzzles.

Tie could appeal to implso by an oratorical effort when lie desired, but he preferred logic. Ills defeat on the Shantung fight he took more to heart than any other incident of the conference. Japan had but two weeks before made a los ing fight on the question of Japanese equality. Mr. Wilson won then, but two weeks later the disposition of the Shantung peninsula came up for set tlement. Japan was Immovable In Its demand for this territory, which It had wrested from Germany, and threatened to leave the conference. The Italian delegation hud already withdrawn, and Mr. AVilson was In a quandary. To keep the conference together he acceded, but not until he had secured from Japan certain con cessions which he felt would even tually nullify the objectionable fea tures of the settlement. He was tired and haggard when he returned from that meeting. He was scarcely over his attack of the Influ enza, although he had worked night and day since he had risen from his bed. Before retiring, he dictated a cable to Tumulty, explaining the set tlement, In an effort to have it placed in the light In which he saw it; but admitting privately that It was not as he wished It.
