JINGOISM IN JOLT; NO PROBE TO FITNESS WAR WASHINGTON, Dee. 7.-President Wilton niinniinred today lio wn op posed to Hoprcsrntntivo Gardner's plnn for iim'Misintinf: the pivpnrod-lie.-S of tho United State for nation al defense lieeausc lie thought it was nu unwise way of hiindlinp "a ittu tioti which might create very tinfnvor ahlo international iniprvioiis." Konrooentntive Gardiner called on the president nt the. latter's request After Mr. Gardner's call the follow ing- statement was given out at the vhitc.heue: "The president told Representative Gardner that tho wns opposed to the method of impurv proposed bv Mr. Qnnltii'r because, ho thought it was nu nmwse way of hnndling.a question which might cn'Ate very unfavorable impressions, lie stated to 'Mr. Gard ner that he was entirely in faor of the fullest inquiry bv the committees of congress and that there were no fnets in the possession of the execu tive department which wns not nt the diloal of those committees." JDurincr his call Mr. Gardner read the following- two questions to the president : "There arc two ways of defeating my resolution. It can be defeated on n. square yea and nay vote, or it can be pigeon-holed in the committee on rules. Which coun-e do you ndvi.se?'' "Will you authorize annv and navy officers to tcstifv bofore the rules committee ou mv invitation, either with or without re. trie live instruc tions T" When Mr. Gardner left the presi dent he refused .to snv what answer )md been given to his questions. White hoi(c oH'ieialK Miid the formal state ment given out would be the only comment-on the call. Mr. Gardner said he was not sur prised' nt the president's jwwition nnd would continue to an'tie for asage of his resolution. Prior to Mr. Gardner's call, Chair man Tillmnn of tho senate naval committee discussed national de fenses with the nrenident. Iuitcr he said he nnd the president agreed that tho United States should have an ad equate navy in accord with the dec laration), of the Inst democratic plat form. He added that the naval ex perts would hiieato determine whnt nu adequate navy was. LONDON, Dee, 7. Major General Desmond O'Cnllnuliiiii of the Ko.uil Artillery bus been imcdigntiug a number or alarmist reports which have had wide circulation in l'irhud, to the effeet that Getmnn ordnance agents have for years past been pre paring- (or the German invasion ol Knglniid by secretly placing in fue- lorv foundations, tennis courts and residence's, deep concrete foundation suitable for ue with the heaviest Gennan siege artillery.

Henry Slegel Induced 13,000 per sons, most of them wagei-earners, to deposit money In a private bank which ho operated In connection with his department stores. The total deposits aggregated )2. 550,333.6$, nnd this money was used by Slegel and his partner Vogei In their private business. No security was provided for the ccposltors, and when Slegcl's stores failed It was pos sible to salvage only $182,500 of tho depositors' money from the, wreck. in addition to a paltry $100,000 bond which a confiding state bad exacted In the name of "security." Slegel was indicted by n grand Jury In New York county, but a change of venuo was granted on the ground that public sentiment in this city was prejudiced ngalnst bltn. Tbls is another way of saying that Slegcl's offense was so mean and contempti ble In pilfering the poctiets of poor and helpless depositors that nobody could le found to excuse him. A Jury at (Seneseo has decided that Slegcl's crime was not a felony but a misdemeanor, nnd a-presumably just and upright judge has sentenced bint to pay a fine of $1000 and also go to Jail for ten months, provided he is not able1 to restore a "substantial part" of the depositors' money before the second Monday in June. In the mean time Slegel is at large on sus pended sentence, nnd the depositors In his bank nre wondering how they can keep soul and body together dur ing tho winter. If this erdlct ami this sentence represent the legal conscience of the state of Now York In resjicct to bank deposits, we seo no reason why any private banker with a drop of sport ing blood In his veins should hesi tate about using his depositors' money as he sees .fit. Even though bo ap propriate millions, the worst ho need expect is a fine of $1000 and ten months In jail, while It he can re turn a "substantial part" of the loot, he Is subject to no more cruel and un usual punishment than the fine. For years The World has resolute ly combatted the infamous Socialist pretense that there Is In this country one law for the rich and another inw for the poor. For years likewise wo have steadfastly opposed the recall of Judges as an attempt to substitute mob opinion for duo process of law. In tho main, we still adhere tena ciously to our orlglnnt theses, but there are moments when we find our selves faltering. When Jails nnd penitentiaries nro crowded with pris oners sent there for trifling offenses against society, and n prlvnto banker Is released on suspended sentence for looting the savings of 15,000 poor de positors, we are thankful that Jus tice Is blind. Otherwise her fnce would be red with shame. has some rights In the mutter." "It was an open secret, In the ills trlct," replied .Mr.'Welborn. Tho witness wns asked concerning tho statement In the report that a strike leader had stated that the strikers were preparing to attack the mllltla upon the. withdrawal of the federal troops, and that four thousand men were ready to come In from nnother state. "Whnt leader do joii refer to?" asked Mr. Welnilock. Mr. Welborn named William Dia mond. The witness said that If the strike should b called off today tlitr strik ers could not be employed because the mines are filled He declared that th strike was Ion four mouths ago. If the federal troops hud been taken out and tho mllltla sent In, he looked for a renewal of violence un less the disarming of the strikers was completed.
