"He stole all my whisky and wouldn't admit taking it," answered Ladyga. who hod pleaded guilty to the charge. "A friend of mine told me that this man had pone to my TTouso on Pulaski st. and robbed mo of 1 quarts and a half of whisky I had there for my own use," continued Lady pa. "and when I asked this man why he took my whisky, he said that he didn't take it. Then I hit him. " "You are fined $10 and costs." tho judiro told Ladypa. "Thero isn't much use arresting this man on a charge of having the unlawful possession of liquor." continued the court, "as he says that all he had has been stolen. " Pawalski denied that ho took Itdypa's liquor. He said that he did not even know him.'

Responding to the. vein of altruism brought out by Wilson in his recent speeches, Johnson today de- j "I deny that he is more altruistic than I am. Hut I will not bury my American ideals under the imperialIsm of Kurope and Asia. I would leave them free to be exercised In their best time. The president's Ideals were abandoned, beaten at the peace conference. Every Ideal utterance he mrule was utterly whipped and eliminated by the imperialistic aims of those who wrote the 'treaty." In addition to speeches at Chicago. Indianapolis. St. Louis and Kansas City, previously announced. Johnson will speak nt Des Moines, Sioux City and Minneapolis. If the situation in the senate does not make his return to Washington advisable, the senator will then continue to the coast, speaking In Spokane, Seattle. San Francisco and Los Angeles.

THOUSANDS SWARM PIER AS COMMANDER ARRIVES

Every. State in Union Represented in Throng Which Greets Militarv Idol of the Republic on His Return.

Br rnlred Troc: NEW YORK, Sept. 8. Pershing came home today, the nation s idol. The commander-in-chief, symbolizing the greatest of American armies, arrived on the iant transport Leviathan shortly after 8 o'clock. More than two years ago Gen. Pershing sailed from this port with a handful of men, the first of America's millions, their movements shrouded in utmost icrecy. At that time the allied armies were wearied and discouraged by more than three years' warfare, a German victory seemed imminent.

3o'av be -ctvined as a conqueror,' the enemy crushed and staggering! under an ignominious dictated pence in contrast to tne sieann oi his departure a stenlth necessitated by the danger from I'-boats, warned by German spies his homecoming was the signal for one of the greatest demonstrations in American history. To the hundreds of thousands who bade IVrshing welcome his prim, soldierly figure nersonifled the millions of khaki-clfd hoys who defeated the great Prussian military machine. America Greets Porshinff. n his shield were bl.17.oned the words "Chateau Thierry," "Argonne," "Meue." "Cantigny." In his soul auain lived the spirits of those ,r. 0.00 0 young crusaders who answered the last ndl call on the battle fields of France and Flanders. "It was the American spirit that won the war," Pres't Wilson recently told a western audience. It was the American spirit that turned the greeting to Pershing into an hour's long reign of frenzied cheering and flag-waving. All States Represented. I'very state in the Fnion was represented in the crowds that massed along the water front in Manhattan, on Ftaten Island and in New Jersey. Tens of thousands of visitors had been flocking to America's gate1 wav lor several oavs to greet tne returning hero. There were delegations from Kl Paso, where he was stationed during the Mexican border trouble; from Cheyenne, where his late wife lived before, their marriage; from Laclede, the little Missouri town where he was born and from nearly every city, villa ee and hamlet identified with him or with the great armed force he commanded. From the moment the Leviathan reached Ambrose Licht, a score of miles from the city before o'clock her passage through the lower and upper bays and up the North river was a veritable "triumphal entry"
