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.

General O'Callaghnn. who is inclined
to be n trifle annoved nt having- lo

His repot t to the "iblic snvs in tvart:

One of the factories reported to the

an example. It "was lonotled by ner

(From tho New' York NorId.)
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

tice Is blind. Otherwise her fnce

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.
