Wilson Pardon Smith.
The signing by President Wilson of
a pardon for Louis I. Smith, for an
offense committed while in the United
States army in 1908, has relcaaed his
testimony without a court ruling
upon its eligibility. It had been con
tended by the defense that court mar
tial conviction for a felony had dis
qualified his testimony. The prosecu
tion s star witness is expected to take
the stand later in the week. -
Edwin Thompson, chief clerk of
the western hotel at Sacramento,
Cal., last year, was the closing wit
ness today. He testified that Smith
deposited $900 in the hotel safe on
the night of July Z8. 1915. and drew
it out July 30. Previous testimony

been performing common labor two
months before. , '
Mrs. Smith, wife of the govern
ment chief witness, will take the
stand tomorrow, it was said at the

fice late today.

was busy all day Sunday seeing not
only politicians, but prominent busi
ness men and manufacturers in view
of the new combination, to facilitate
whicb alt ministers and under secre
taries will hand in their resignations.
In the meantime, according to the
Matin, the reorganization of the
higher command ; in the army,
being an essentially administrative
question, will not be settled until
after the new government makes its
bow to the Chamber of Deputies on
Tuesday and is endorsed by a vote
of confidence.
"In addition to forming a war coun
cil of five ministers on the model of
that in England," continues the
Matin, "Premier Briand has decided
in i the interest of the economic or
ganization of the country to throw
the old administrative machine into
the melting pot and oblige all minis
terial departments, hitherto, congealed
in superannuated methods, to get in
line with the rest of the country,
which is freely spending its blood and
gold. .... ,
ln the course of conversations he
had with prominent men Premier
Briand announced that be intended to
give a free hand to the ministers, un
der secretaries and directors form
ing part of the new ministry. The
most absolute powers will be granted
to them and. If it is found the meth
ods meet resistance, or that certain
habits are persisted in, these powers
wilt be still further increased and
drastic measures taken. The com
position of the new combination will
clearly show the new spirit. It will
be the most complete possible recon
struction, as will be seen when their
names are published."

Chicago, Dec. 11. Charles C.
Healey, chief of police, awaiting trial
on a charge of permitting the opera
tion of vicious resorts, resigned to
night, the resignation to take effect
January 1. The resignation followed
statements by Mr. Healey that he
would leave the service only at the
urgent desire of Mayor Thompson
and that he was not resigning volun
tarily.' "I am surrendering the office with
full consciousness of having per
formed its duties with scrupulous
honesty and to the best of my abil
ity," Mr. Healey's letter said.
Chief Healey expressed the hope
that he would be restored to his for
mer position as head of the traffic
squad here. The indictments against
him and the subseauent separation
from the chief's office were develop
ments ot differences between Mayor
Ihompson and Maclay Hoyne, demi.
ocratic states' attorney, it is believed
jne disagreement rescued a crisis
after Chief Healey had suspended
Police Captain O'Brien, charging him
with failing to suppress vice in a dis
trict inhabited largely by negroes.
Hoyne accused the chief of insincerity
in this move, and while O'Brien was
on the stand testifying on Hoyne's
application for a warrant for Mr.
Healey's arrest, the grand jury, sit
ting in anotner part ot tne city, re
turned indictments against him.
During his service of thirty years
in the police department every major
bnne in his body has been broken
while in the performance of his du
ties. The following is a list of his
most serious injuries:
Broken Both thighs, both legs,
right arm, five ribs, collar bone, nose,
four fingers of right hand.
Dislocated Shoulder and left arm.
Shattered by Bullet Right wrist
In addition to these injuries he
suffered numerous knife and razor
cuts and clubbings about the head
during his career as a policeman.

Meets Kailroad Flans
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 11. (Special. The
State Railway commission is in re
ceipt of an amended application from
the railroads of the state to change
the demurrage rate from the amount
asked for to a rate which will not
conflict with the rate charged for in
terstate business.
The old free date for three days
with a charge of $1 for each day,
raising the charge $1 more, per day
with no charge for bad weather, has
been changed to two days free with a
charge of $1 the third day, $2 for the
fourth and $3 the fifth with $5 each
day succeeding that for all cars, with
no bad weather provision is what the
new change asked for will mean' if put
in effect.
This meets the provisions of inter

carriers will be in harmony with
things and make less conftiction in
rates.
