Mil dred Bridges has won her father to the flsht to save Evelyn Arthur Sea from the penitentiary. This statement was mada by the young woman herself today. It meana that Stephen H. Brldgea will try to prevent See. master of tha "Absolute Life" cult, from serving the prison sentence resulting from the trial which Brldjres. the father, prosecuted so vig orously.

The Blrl. known to the cult as "mother of the race." said that her futher had signed a statement of his complete approval of "Absolute Life." Further, she said, her father would make an affidavit calculated to have vital effect on the action of the higher court on See'a appeal. No statement could be obtained from Bridges. Later It waa declared he had gone out of the city. All Inquiries were referred to his daughter. Father Devoted to Girl. Attachca of the State's Attorney's of fice declare th changed attitude of Bridges is due solely to his determina tion not to lose sight of his daughter and to submit to anything in order to afford her the protection of his pres ence.

AINSWORTH F!9HTS WOOD (Continued from First Page.) serve as Chief of Staff unless lie shall have served at least ten years as a com missioned officer of the line with rank below that of Brigadier-General." The phraseology of this amendment was suggested by General Alnsworth and readily adopted by his champion. Representative Hay. and by the confer ence committee. Artloa la Rr"ult of Fead. When President. Taft made General Wood Chief of Staff. General Alnsworth. i i.ii.inni.r.intrAL undertook, as he had done, under other Chiefs of Staff. to run the Army to sun niniscn. n quickly discovered that Leonard Wood Intended to be Chief of Staff in fact as well as In name, and thereupon started the Alnsworth-Wood feud. For two years Alnsworth did his utmost to har rass and embarrass General wood and finally become so abusive and domineer ing that he brought about his own re tirement. He charged this np to Gen eral Wood, and It Is true that General Wood dil his part towards weeding Alnsworth out of the Army, and now Alnsworth. as a retired officer. Is try ing to legislate Wood out of the rank ing command In the Army. General Leonard Wood Is regarded by unprejudiced military authorites as one of the ablest men who ever commanded the American Array. Ills has been a re markable career. He was a medical officer up to the time of the Spanish War. when he sprang Into prominence and showed his nullity. President Roosevelt made him a National figure by appointing him a Brigadier-General over a long list of senior Colonels, and forced the Senate to confirm the nomi nation over strong protests. But It waa president Taft who made Wood Chief of Staff, for be shared Roosevelt's high regard for this officer, and today re gards him as the best equipped man In the Armv for general command. Gen era! Wood Is one or a few men upon whom President Taff and Colonel Roosevelt still agree. Taft and Rooaevelt Agreed. In Army circles It Is admitted that unless Congress Interferes by pBRsIng the pending amendment. General Wood will continue as Chief of Staff for an other four years. If President Taft Is re-elected, or If Colonel Roosevelt Is the next President, for either would prefer Wood lo any other officer In the Army and Ainswortn gnowa n. n crafty Alnsworth devised this scheme of legislating Wood out of office and found a ready response In tha confer ence committee. President Taft, before he left for New Jersey, was Informed as to the Alnsworth amendment to the Army bill, and was greatly Incensed at this bold attempt to legislate his friend. General Wood, out of office. Now that the campaign Is virtually over, the Presi dent Is called upon to take a hand In this Alnsworth-Wood row once more, and If lie Is unable, through friends In Congress, to defeat the amendment In question, may be called upon to veto the Army appropriation bill, and send It back for reconsideration.

It so happens that there are several other amendments in the bill tending to impair the usefulness of the Army, such as the four-year en listment provision, which gives the President an additional ground for ve toing the bill, and there is expectation that this bill will meet with rough handling at the White House, unless these amendments are eliminated.
