upon him incident to his great position, was truly a mystery. Sometimes
when I went up to see him in the evening he looked utterly beaten, worn
out, but the next morning he would appear refreshed and eager to go on
with the fight. I fancied sometimes that he had discovered the mysteri

William James wrote so persuasively in his essay on the "Energies of
Men."
In these days, although he occu
pied the very center of the world's
great stage, with the eyes of all hu

listening for every word he said, he
lived almost the life of an anchorite. For

walled garden with an American sentinel

This statement was made by Chief of
Police Lee V. Jenkins Saturday night
following the capture of the Claremont
tavern robbers, the confession of one
of them and the Identification of David
Smith as the midnight murderer.
A number of police inspectors, as well
as Chief Jenkins and Umatilla county
officers, shared In the glory of the cap
ture. But Jenkins awards credit for
the "headwork" to Phillips and Tacka
berry and declared that he would be
followed by every man who participated
In refusing absolutely to accept a cent
of the reward that should go to the two
leaders.
The pension board, composed of police
department men, has a rule that re
wards shall not be accepted by members
of the department. Mayor Baker, Chief
Jenkins and brother police officers will
Insist, they declare, that this rule be
set aside in the present case.

by a similar offer by J. M. Keeney

by W. I Thompson of Portland and

kF ALL the important decisions at the peace confer
ence, none worried the president aa much as those
relating to Chinese-Japanese relationships and of the
Shantung peninsula and none, finally, satisfied him
less. Not one of the problems he had to meet at Paris,
serious 'as they all were, did he take more personally
to heart than this. He told me on one occasion that
he had been unable to sleep on the previous night for
thinking of It.
Those last days before the treaty was finished in late
April were among the hardest of the entire conference.
How the president bore up under the continual strain
of his task at this time, with all the other demands
It was a curious room, this study, seem
ing to have only one entrance, but one
day I saw the president step to the back
of the room and open and go through
what appeared to be a solid, well-filled
bookcase into a passageway leading to
his bedroom beyond. It was a concealed
door cunnnlgly painted to look like a
case filled with books.
Mrs. Wilson's sitting room was oppo
site the president's study, with a small
reception room between, and her sunny
window opened also on the little grassy
court, and above the wall, across the
street, one could look into the upper win
dows of the house occupied by Lloyd
George. Some day there will be writ
ten an account of the incalculable help
and comfort that Mrs. Wilson was to the
president in these trying days. In every
difficult situation in Europe Mrs. Wil

and with genuine simplicity and gra
clousness of manner.

Washington. Nov. 22. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL. ) Opinion is strongly Inclined
against the peace treaty beipg car
ried into the next presidential cam
paign, in spite of Senator Lodge's
pronouncement in favor of making
his pet reservations the Republican
issue.
Lodge's declaration has pleased few
amuK of irreconcllables. Republicans
moderates still declare they want the
treaty ratified as Quickly as possible,
and expect a compromise to be reached
j early next year.
! On the other hand, Lodge's political
! plan Has provided new revelation of
I his purpose during the late session.
which many had not before perceived.
All summer he labored to get drastic
reservations labeled with his name and

compromise.

There are signs at some of ' his

ulance of old age. and is scornful to
ward those whd advise greater caution.
He represeenta only a fraction of his
associates In desiring to -carry his res
ervations "Into the campaign with him

Even-minded men are disposed to be-
j lieve that the basis of the compromise

I to ratify with the Hitchcock resolutions,
i even though Lodge himself Joins the

I Hitchcock's declaration today that
' reservations are inevitable Is in line with
the trend of Democratic sentiment to
accept reasonable reservations, such as
were offered In closing days of the late
session, but became impossible because
of political arrangements Lodge had
made to force acceptance of his program

the value of deep plowing and the true

Sensational Raid by Police Saturday.
Positive identification of David Smith as the bandit who shot and killed
Jasper N. Burgess and George E. Perringer while two conspirators wer
robbing 25 guests at Claremont tavern on the Llnnton road Friday night,
was offered late Saturday night by E. V. Marshall, companion of Bur
gess and Perringer, who escaped the bullets.
Marshall appeared in Chief of Police Jenkins" office with Pendleton
friends of Burgess, state highway commissioner, and Perringer, Umatilla
county rancher. He was taken to Smith's cell. As Smith" peered between
the bars Marshall exclaimed: 'That's him! I'd know those eyes any
where."
Burgess, Perringer and Marshall were in a private dining room at
Claremont with three women companions when Smith entered the door
and commanded them to raise their hands. Marshall and the women
complied. Burgess took the command aa
a Joke and told the bandits to f'.re. Bur
gess started to rise from the table
when the first ahot struck him at the
left side of the noae. Marshall told Chief
Jenkins. Ha collapsed on the table. An
other Bhot, fired almost Immediately,

first shot had probably killed him in

Then there la the problem of educating
the driver to the necessity of having
faultless brakes, how a defective brake
means murder and a sound brake safety, '
how the fraction of a second in con
trolling a machine may mean the sav

part of the machine ; the other parts
must be fUwlcsa.
The pedestrian must be taught that he
cannot, with safety, cross the atreet at
all places and in all directions: that hs
cannot run from behind a woodpile,
tree or car into a much traveled thor
