Woodrow Wilson
Union Chief Characterizes
Kx-Prebident as "Friend
of Laboring Man."
New York, March 27. The ideals
and principles of Woodrow Wilson
in time will be recognized as spirits
guiding the world, Samuel . Gompers
president of the American Federa
tion of Labor, told a gathering of
laboring men and representatives of
the Woodrow Wilson Foundation
who met to discuss the plan to honor
the former president.
He characterized Mr. Wilson as
"the firm friend of the laboring
man," citing the seamen's act and
the Clayton anti-trust law as in.
stances of his efforts toward better
ing the toilers' condition.
Expressing disappointment that
Mr. Wilson's admirers had not al
ready over subscribed the $100,000
required for the endowment, Mr.
Gompers said:
"The American people and parti
cularly the working people owe it to
the country to see to it that this
honor to Woodrow Wilson shall be
successful. If there has ever been a
man in responsible office in this
country who had the understanding
and the vision of labor's rights, it
was Woodrow Wilson.
"We are living today in the spirit
of Wilson and .our efforts in the fu
ture will be directed toward mobili
zation of the public sentiment of this
republic to his work, in order that
his principles may become daily
rules for the conduct of our lives."
' III! I
Belgian Rulers in New
Relation With Vatican
Rome, March 27. Whether or not
the coming visit to Italy of King
Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Bel
gium will lead to the engagement of
Princess Yolpndo, daughter of King
Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena,
to the duke of Brabant, heir to the
Belgian throne, the visit is consid
ered of great importance because it
will mark a new stage in the rela
tions between state and the Catholic
church. The new conditions are ex
pected to form the basis for the cere
monial of future visits by Catholic
rulers.
Pope Pius had decided that the call
of the Belgian sovereigns at the Vat
ican must take place -immediately
on their arrival in Rome and before
any official functions take place. No
objections have been made by the
Italian court.
Heretofore non-Catholic sovereigns
went to the Vatican in carriages sup-,
plied by the embassy of their coun
try. President Wilson, in January,
1919, adopted this custom. Pope
Pius has ordered Vatican automo
biles to take the queen of the Bel
gians to the Vatican. A few years
ago the Vatican had no automobiles
and ecclesisastics were forbidden to
use them. Some time ago Cardinal
Vincenzo Vanutelli received a beau
tiful machine, painted a bright red,
from American friends and induced
the pope to withdraw his ban, on
the automobile.

F ather and Daughter
Speak Alien Tongues;
Unable to Converse
New York, March 27. Joseph
Spence. Unionville, Pa., and his 17
year-old daughter, Marie Spence,
whom he had not seen for eight
years, could not understand a word
each said to the other - yesterday
when they met after the steamer
Kroonland docked. The daughter
spoke only French, although born
in the United States, and her at
tempts to converse with her father
were, almost tragic until a woman
interpreter for the Traveler! Aid
society came to the rescue.
At the age of 9 Miss Spence went
to France with her mother, who
died durmt the war, and her father
recently decided to bring her here
to live with him and her older
brother, a student at Williams

Ex-Mayor Smith
Called by Defense
in Matters 'Trial
Attempt Made tT Show by
Counsel Mathews'. Reason
for Pleading Guilty to
Embezzlement.
The defense of 'Thomas IT Mat
ters, on trial for aiding and abetting
embezzlement, reached a climax
yesterday afternoon when Ed r.
Smith, former mayor, was called to
the stand. -.
W. C. Dorsey, prosecutor for the
state, objected to cstlrnony by- Mr.
Smith, who was counsel for Willard
V. Mathews when Mathews pleaded
guilty to embezzlement of $200,000
from the Tioneer State bank in con
nection w'ith the purchase of Colonial
Timber & Coal corporation bonds.
Judge Dismisses Jury.
' Dorsey's objection 'precipitated a
clash with Halleck Rose, counsel for
Matters, which ended with the ex
clamation by . Dotsey; "You can't
intimidate inc. isl. Siose!'. District
Judge Goss .dismissed "the jury dur
ing the ensuing arguments over tliS
admission of Mr. Smith's testimony,
Mr. Rose indicated he intended to
show by Mr. Smith's testimony that
Mathews' plea of guilty was the re
sult of assurances that an indictment
against Walter L. Stickel would be
dismissed. He asserted that the
"hardest evidence against Matters
is Mathews plea of guilty."
Smith AnswersjTw Questions.
' Judge Goss held that the defense
could not "impeach Mathews' plea
of guilty by endeavoring to show
Mathews purpo.se in making the
pie;'! ..He permitted Mr. Smith to
answer two preliminary questions
before the jury, however.
In response to these qucstidr.s Mr.
Smith said he had communicated
with the attorney general before
Mathews entered, this, plea of guilty.
With this testimony the defense
rested. , ;
In rebuttal, the state called John
C. Bond, state auditor. -of -West. Vir
ginia, who prodifeed ' 'book' of for
feitures to show fh" title to land
claimed by the Colonial Timber &
Coal corporation under the Richard
Smith grant was forfeited in 1838,
and sold in smaller tracts.

broke off the propeller. 1 auto
matically looked for a ship or a

smack and volplaned down to the

"I asked the passengers not to be
afraid. Wc were in no immediate
danger and the craft was drawing
near. The winds, however, were
rising and before long the bull ot
the boat sprang a leak. The nose
of the plane' began rising. Then a
big wave came along and lilted us.
The plane turned over and we were
all thrown into the sea.
"Mrs. Bulte came to the surrace
first, then Mr. Smith, and Mrs.
Smith. Of the three none could
swim. I succeeded in getting tlicm

"I told her he would be all right
in a few minutes and dived into the

began to weep. I dived into the
water and obtained cushions from
the plane to use for life preservers.
As I returned to thcin, I saw the
body of Bulte floating. I stepped
directly in front of Mrs. Btilte and
obstructed her view. As the body
passed me, I noted a wound on his
forehead. He must have been killed
before he struck the water when
the plane overturned.
"Within the next 30 minutes tlie
scenes changed twice. Ori the hori

began to laugh and contemplated
being picked up. 1 was confident
we would be saved. In fact I felt
like whistling. 1 believe I did. It
kept up my morale.
"And the fishing boat changed its
course.
