HAS HAPPY DAY AT HIS BOYHOOD HOME Spends Most of Today Visiting with Old Staunton Friends and Forgets All Political Cares. (National News Association) STAUNTON, Va., Oec. 28 President-elect Woodrow Wilson awoke today in the same room in which he was born 56 years ago. Although still pale from the effects of his recent cold, the President-elect said he was feel ing better and did not think that the ; entertainments provided for his birth-1 day would have any bad effect on his healta- i Practically all of today's program , was given over to a renewal of the j boyhood ties of Mr. Wilson and his J visits included calls upon three aged j women who used to nurse the prcsiUCUL'CICLL Ail UIO UUJ 11WU. Greets Aged Invalid. Ttie riret visit was maae to a sanitarium where Mrs. Elizabeth Kayser, now a paralytic, is an inmate. Mrs. I Kayser was an intimate friend of the j Wilson family and used to assist the j President-elect's mother in "minding the baby." j - The other two nurses of "little j Tom," as Gov. Wilson was known j when he was a little boy, are Mrs. II. Ii. Hoover and Mrs. Amanda Fultz. The latter is the mother of David Fultz, now a New York lawyer and a former baseball and football star of Brown university. Mr. Wilson also met for the .first time in many years Frank T. Ware, a former servant in the Wilson family. "Many times I had care of 'Little Tom' and wheeled him In his little carnage," said ware, iie always was a good boy and never gave any trouble 5 ihn whvs nursed him." Politics are Forgotten. Political lines are forgotten here in the celebration of the distingnished first citizen. One of the foremost members of the committee on arrangements, James S. Collins, who designed the arches for the street decorations, was a Taft man during the campaign. The Rev. W. M. Frazer, a classmate of Mr. Wilson, was selected to deliver the speech of the welcome. Rev. Mr. Frazer is now pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Davidson, N. C, which was formerly the church of the president-elect's father. When Mr. Wilson learned that indoor ceremonies would be held in the chapel in which he was baptised he - smiled as he ran his hand over his head and remarked: "I haven't much more hair now than I had then."

The . margin of difference between i the two notes was so great as to cause much doubt whether the deadlock would be broken soon. The allies are standing firm upon their contention that Turkey shall not be allowed to retain more than a foothold on Europe, whereas the Ottoman plenipotentiaries ridicule this proposition, saying "That Turkey should not be deprived of territory she was valiantly defending when the armistice put an end to hostilities. Representatives of the allies seem to feel assured that the powers will support them in their demands.

NO CLEWS IN THE DAYTON MYSTERY Chief of Police Gormon said today that no clews had been discovered in the Dayton mystery which has baffled the police since the skeleton of Henry Dayton was found in the cellar of the home in North I street. The police believed last week that Joseph Snyder, suspected of being the murderer, would be in their toils by this time. The trail of the suspect led to New Castle, but no trace beyond that place ? has been found Coroner Pierce has not filed his verdict in the murder. It is believed that he will hold off his report until he has j made a careful examination of the j skull for the purpose of establishing, ! if possible, exacUy how Dayton met his end. '

M'CARTHY PROTESTS AGAINST VERDICT Labor Leader Denounces Judge Anderson Prisoners Blame Attorneys.
(National News Association) SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28. Former Mayor P. H. McCarthy, president of the California Building Trades Council and prominent Western labor leader, made the following statement today regarding the verdict of the dyna mite case jury at Indianapolis: "Undoubtedly the Steel Trust, from j the manner in which it dealt through j Prosecutor Miller had from the beginning decided to get as many innocent men convicted as possible. From the manner in which Judge Anderson conducted the case it is clear that Auder-, c-r i n-ii.' y"v ry r r f a niAcjaii,n than rVt t I ouu a o ixi is i v7 j t. a ucv uiu, tuau iiic members of the Ertctors' association themselves. "The decision of Judge Kehoe, long gone down in history as the most infamous judge who ever sat in a tribunal of justice, will fade into insignificance beside the rulings by Judge Anderson against the defendants in this case." ANDERSON JUST LAUGHS. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 28. When asked for an expression on the statement made by former mayor McCarthy of San Francisco, Judge Albert B. Anderson laughed good naturedly and said that he would disregard it altogether. SORE ON THEIR COUNSEL. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 28. Each of the thirty-eight men convicted in the dynamite conspiracy trial were found guilty of the entire 52 counts of the indictment. There were 25 direct charges of illegal transportation of dynamite and nitroglycerine and one direct charge of conspiracy. An appeal may be taken to the United States circuit court of appeals. Whether the men are admitted to bail in the meantime depends upon the action of Judge Anderson. Words of condemnation were heard from the prisoners but they were principally directed against their own counsel. On their way to jail one defendant was heard to remark, "If our attorneys had had only four hours more to talk they would have convict- i ed themselves." Another said, "The only thing wrong with this parade is that our attorneys are not in line too." Frank Ryan, the grey-haired president of the Iron Workers' Union, was the only one to take the situation seriously. SHINNY M WALLS And Two Ohio Convicts Make Escape. (National News Association) COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 28. J. O. Kramer, better known as Otis Hurley, together with Shine Davis, made their escape from the Ohio state prison this forenoon by means of a knotted rope with a hook on one end. Kramer was serving a two years term from Franklin county for larceny. According to other prisoners Kramer got hold or a rope and fashioned a hook for one end of it. He knotted the rope to make it easy to climb and escaped over the wall a few feet from the tow er occupied by a guard. Kramer has been on crutches since he was shot in j an attempt at escape last February and had been allowed to get exercise ! in the prison yard. Because he was I crippled the guards paid little atten tion to him. Kramer abandoned his crutches just before making his escape. GORMON SUFFERS A CHANGE FOR WORSE A turn for the worse in the condition of Elmer Gormon, secret service agent, confined in a hospital at Detroit, Mich., has summoned Chief of Police Gormon, father of the young man, to that city. Young Gormon suffered an attack of pneumonia suddenly in the Michigan city early this week. His father went to Detroit to see him Tuesday on business affairs, and found him in a hospital. Chief Gormon returned home under the belief that his son was improving. Elmer Gormon is rated one of the most accomplished detectives in the secret service and has done notable work in running down counterfeiters. GREULICHJVEN FINE Despite Plea for Clemency, He Gets $5 and Charged with stealing a gun and pawning it, Al Greulich appeared in police court this morning and tried to convince the court, in methods new and strange, that he should not be fined for the offense, although he admitted his guilt. He stated that he had taken the article, which is a double-barreled shot gun belonging to his nephew, and attempted to pawn it for two dollars. As he had been taking care of the gun for the past 12 years and been using it whenever he wanted he could not understand the wrong of pawning it for a few days to obtain spending money. However, the Mayor was unconvinced and fined him $5 and costs for petit larceny.

I believe that the bridge would last from twenty-five to thirty years if placed at L street where the traffic is extremely light compared with the traffic of Main street. "The entire bridge can be remodeled and cared for when taken down for removal which would make almost a new bridge out of it. Each part could be sand-blasted and every particle of rust and dirt removed from it. Rich part could then be dipped in paint. If the bridge is painted with brushes all parts of the bridge cannot be touched and there would be some parts exposed. By the dipping process every part of the bridge could be covered as many times as dipped. When the Main street bridge was built it was not made to support the heavy traction cars which now travers it The street cars are compara-ti-ely light when compared with the traction earsIt Is only a question of years when a new bridge across the Main street will be necessary. If the Commercial club committee is in favor of this movement we may be able to have the bridge where it should be properly placed. The Main street bridge would be satisfactory to meet conditions at L street at present.
