CONFESSION IS ALLEGED
Kn. Thelma Tug-wall Insists She Paid

' (United PreH I,sl W!r.)
Kan Fraiclsco, Oet. 21. Unbounded
foJth in hr hiiKh.-iriri'fl Innnncnf Ap-
sptte his alleged confession, was voiced
here today by Mrs. Thelma Tugwell,
the navcn weeks' brld of Perry Tuk
well, under arreat In Los Angeles on a
charge of murdering Mrs. p. B. A.
Kennedy on thn night of September 1.
Mrs. Ttiftwell Kbpt late today, follow
ing; a musicale given last night at her
Step-father's home here;.
"Why should 1 worry?" ptie asked.
"I know my husband Is Innocent, and
I firmly believe. h will bo exonerated
In a week or two three weeks at the
most.
"On the evening that Mrs. Kennedy
died, my husband left Ms father's
home In ixb Angeles shortly after din
ner, explaining he was going to a
irarage to say good bye to the boys
there, as he Intended to get married
September 4. Tho next day we were
to leave for San Francisco on the
ateasnship Rose City. Ajid we carried
cut this program to the letter.
"My husband returned .home shortly
after 9 o'clock. He Was in high good
humor, because the men at the garage
would not believe that he was going to
be married. Hut we fooled 'em. Percy
Was not perturbed. If he had killed
Mrs. Kennely he certainly would have
ihown In his demeanor that he had
been through some excitement. Both
his father and mother were at home
when he returned from the garage.
The men at the garage, too, will verify
this statement.
It's very certain to me that Percy
could not have taken the long ride to
Mrs. Kennedy's home, murdered her
and returned within the short time
that he was away. His confession, if
he made one. Is ridiculous. But the
most ridiculous story is the one that
my husband financed our honeymoon.
It was said that he paid for the trip
with proceeds from the Jewelry stolen
from the murdered woman.
"As a matter of fact, my husband
was broke.' I financed the trip with
150, my savings from my own work.
Percy had nothing. Since coming up
bere with my husband we have, lived
with my step-father and mother, while
Percy looked vainly for a Job."

Colonel Harvey Tells a XTsw Mark
Twain Story at Recent Pa ace Meet
ing With the President.
Washington, Oct. 21. There are
those who would have given a pretty
sum to have been within hearing dis
tance while Colonel. George Harvey,
the brilliant editor of the North Amer
ican Review, and President Wilson
were renewing old fellowships and
burying the hatchet on "Peace" Sun
day. It will be recalled that there
was a "falling out" between the presi
dent and Colonel Harvey shortly after
the Baltimore convention and the twa
"didn't speak as they passed by." Mu
tual friends, however, got busy and
on Peace Sunday the hatchet-burying
scene was pulled off at the White
House.
While official etiquette forbids the
divulgence of presidential conversa
tions, a little bird is responsible for
this recital of what happened.
Mark Twain's name came up in some
connection when Colonel Harvey re
marked casually that there were per
sons still in existence who never had
heard- of the great humorist.
The president found this almost in
credible, "Oh, yes," the colonel continued.
"only yesterday here in Washington
I met such an one. He was an of
fice seeker. He declared positively
that he never had heard of Mark
Twain.
"I asked him about Tom Sawyer.
No, he never had heard of him, either.
Nor Huck Finn? No, never. Nor
Pudd'nhead Wilson? 'Oh, Lord, yes,
he ejaculated. 'I voted for him.'
And the president's roar of delight
did not diminish in the least when
the colonel continued softly, " 'and,'
he added, wistfully, 'that's all the good
it done me.' "

Sazonoff was himself authority for
the statement that Russian critics of
the British were accusing; the latter
of getting other countries to do their
fighting, and prophesying; an ' early
break between the czar and King
George. He denied, however, that this
view was responsible for the great
mass of Russian public opinion, at
tributing it instead to a small group
of reactionaries.

i Stockholm, Oct. 21. That Foreign
Minister Sazonoff of Russia should
consider it necessary to come out in
a formal statement repudiating the
sentiments of those of the czar's sub
jects who sympathize with Germany
rather than with Great Brtiain in the
present war, was commented on here
today as suggesting that there must
be considerable of this sort of feel
ing among the Slavs.
The best informed among- the
Swedes, who, by the way, are friendly
to the British and very fearful of
the Russians, have generally thought.
all along, that the war must end up
with ill feeling, if nothing worse, be
tween the two nations, in the event
of victory by the allies.
Their view is that it is the British
policy to oppose, in every possible
way, any European continental power
which becomes strong enough to be
a potential source of danger. If the
allies win, it is argued that Russia
will become immediately an even
greater menace to the predominance
of British prestige than Germany has
ever been. The prediction is conse
quently made that the British will do
all they can to prevent the czar from
profiting by victory, the czar is
deemed certain to resent this, and an
Anglo-Russian rupture is looked for
as the sequel.
The suggestion is made that Foreign
Minister Sazonoff is as well aware
of this as anyone, but does not con-

Mr. Hanley, as the Progres

plank of the Progressive partr
on the tariff question, which de
clares for a non-partisan and
permanent tariff commission
(like the Interstate Commerce
Commission), which will take
the whole tariff question out of
the log-rolling of congress, set
tle tariff issues permanently
without disturbing business con
