Viereck Guards Secret Of Ex-Kaiser's Ambitions New York, April 7. George Sylvester Viereck, magazine editor, was among the passengers who returned to this country today on the Steamship George Washington of the United States Lines from Bremen. Mr. Viereck told reporters that he had met the Kaiser in Doorn and had a long talk with him. He said that the former German ruler was in the best of health and could take up the reins of government there if need be.

When asked if that remark suggested possible hopes of the Ex-Kaiser being restored to power Mr. Viereck said first he did not know, then changed about and said he did know, but was not at liberty to state. 1 ji A I if CAN'T GET JUSTICE, BRUNDAGE ASSERTS Judge Says State Tried Accused Better In Press Than In Court. By the Associated Press. Marion, 111., April 7.

Asserting Special Assistant Attorney-General Middle-kauff, of Illinois, was attempting to "lay the blame on somebody for his failure to convict" in the Herrin trials, Circuit Judge D. T. Hartwell, who presided at the trials, tonight issued a written statement replying to one given out by Mr. Middlekauff today. Mr.

Middlekauff statement, issued following announcement that the State dropped all other Herrin riot cases as the result of failure to obtain convictions in the two already tried, asserted "justice cannot be obtained in Williamson (this) county." Praised Before Verdict. Judge Hartwell declared that no later than yesterday Attorney-General E. J. Brundage stated "he thought all my rulings had been fair," in touching on Mr. Middlekauff criticism of the judge's rulings, particularly in the examination of veniremen.

Mr. Middlekauff issued the statement at Mr. Brundage's request. Judge Hartwell stated Mr. Middlekauff, "without regard for truth," took advantage of the "intense feeling" existing outside of Williamson county, adding, "I admit his superiority in being able to "make use of the newspapers.

He tries his cases there better than in the courthouse." What Judge Says. Judge Hartwell's statement in part follows "I have -just read Mr. Middlekauff statement. The situation is about like this: 'What he says will be accepted taway frbm here, and by-a veryfew-in, this jThe eases were T.nolled and he is going away and he doesn't care much what he says or who. he hurts, just so he can lay the blame on somebody for his failure to convict in the cases just "Nobody knows better than I.

I tried my best to give both sides a fair trial. The prosecution were loud in their praise of the court until now." Prosecution's Statement.

Mr. Middlekauff 's statement follows The prosecution is reluctantly obliged to admit that justice cannot be obtained in Williamson county. No impartial jury can be obtained to try the men responsible for the murder of a score of men at and near Herrin last June. "Witnesses, reliable and trustworthy, at great risk of personal violence, have courageously testified as to what they beheld on that fatal day, only to be impeached by witnesses who plainly were interested in the defense and who clearly were testifying falsely. Attacks Defense Witnesses.

"Intimidation, prejudice or downright dishonesty actuated them. Under the rulings of the trial court when jurymen were being any man who admitted he had an opinion whether the massacre of the disarmed and helpless strip miners was lawful, or unlawful he was disqualified for jury service. In my opinion this ruling is not the law of Illinois. On the other hand, all men contributing to the defense fund, voluntarily or otherwise, have been held to be competent jurors, but in my view of the (Continued on Page 4, Column 1.) STUBBOR Old Guard Senate Leaders To Insist On Reservation To U. S.

Adherence. TO ASK PRESIDENT EXTENT OF PLANS Prefer To Base 1924- Campaign Appeals Upon Prosperity. Washington, April 7 (Special). President Harding returns to the White House tomorrow from his Southern trip with a staggering array of problems awaiting him. Chief among them is the Old Guard's perturbation over the Permanent Court of International Justice.

Old Guard Senators went into close conference today preparatory to a de scent upon the White House to find out if their worst fears are true, and if so to deliver an ultimatum. The upshot of the party powwow, at tended by several G. O. P. leaders, was decision to notify Mr.

Harding that he and Secretary of State Hughes re resolved to go ahead with their program, it must be with the under standing that certain reservations will be tagged to the treaty on whatever the arrangement may be, making clear to the world that this country is not to be construed as entering the League of Nations by the back door or any other. Two Phases To Problems. Of all the problems, domestic and foreign, which have piled up during the President's trip, the world court question is agitating party leaders the most. To them it is divisible and will be laid before Mr. Harding in about the following form How far is it proposed that the United States shall go in interna-national affairs by joining the world court? What will be the effect on the Republican party in 1924? To Kiiotp Intentions.

These are the main points they think should be kept in mind in determining the course of the Administration. They are badly puzzled as to what was really in mind when the project was advanced. Suggested near the closing of Congress, there little opportunity for studying it. Everybody rushed off for a vacation, including the President, and none of the leaders sought a chance to get enlightenment. Now they want to know whether Secretary Hughes intends to have this country take part in a court which gets its power to act and enforce its decrees from the League of Nations or whether a separate international" court, thoroughly independent of the one set up by the league, would be acceptable? What methods does Mr.

Hughes propose for putting the decrees of the court into effect and how far does the Administration think this country can go in the direction of exerting force or equipping a "sheriff" to go out and execute? Would Dodge Clarke's Challenge. In view of the announcement by former Justice John H. Clarke and other leading Democrats that the League of Nations is to be made the chiew issue, the Republicans are asking themselves why it would not be wisest to "dodge" that proposition and rely upon the era of prosperity in the country. They contend that they are justified in attributing it to the legislative action of Con gress, including revision of 'the tax laws, the tariff and the Transportation act of 1920. They point to the eener.il condition of employment, the rush of orders for industrial enterprises and the prospect of the heaviest freight traific the country has ever known and ask what more could be desired as campaign material.

Several Republicans are here planning to return next week to take up with the President this and other problems left in the rush to get away after Congress adjourned. Many Other Problems. The plan of campaign generally, the program for next winter's session, organization of the House, the merchant marine policy, prohibition enforcement and whether the navy shall be used therefor, the question of changing gun mounts on ships and the rules of the Senate are among the vexatious questions that have accumulated and await the President's views and action. Freight rates and reduction and revision of the tax laws are two of the most important matters to be considered. These also are to be thrashed out at the White House by the G.

O. P. callers who are awaiting their turn on the carpet. Har dings Will Arrive In Washington Today Augusta, April 7. His vacation ended, President Harding tonight turned his face toward Washington and his mind toward the cares of problems state.

RANDLE TO LEAYE CONGER'S OUTFIT Army Captain Who Sued Colonel Assured Transfer To Another Command.

PROMISED PLEASANT POST Plaintin Said To Have Been Promised In Compromise A Responsible Appointment. San Antonio, April .7. Secrecy surrounding the withdrawal of the suit by Captain and Mrs. Edwin Randle, of the Twentieth Infantry, against Colonel Arthur L. Conger, commander of the regiment, was dispelled today, according to a story published in the San Antonio Lipht.

The story said it had been agreed that the military investigation being conducted by Col. Lincoln F. Kilbourue, inspector of the Eighth Corps Area, into the Randle-Conger embroglio would be discontinued Captain Randle was assured of a transfer to another organization, with a position equally responsible as the one he held, and Captain Randle had been assured that an efficiency report by Colonel Conger would be rewritten. Agreed To After Conference. This compromise was reached in a closed conference between Captain and Mrs.

Randle, several high ranking mili tary officials and Colonel Conger's civil counsel, it is said. M. Lewis, commander of the Eighth Corps Area, declined to make any statement concerning the case. When asked "whether the dismissal of the suit would have any bearing or had any connection with the military investigation he said that he preferred not to say. Week's Action Puzzles.

The fact that the Secretary of War has declined to have the military investigation discontinued is said to add perplexing features to the case. Further action from Washington is awaited with interest. Weeks Refuses To Drop Probe By Military Court Washington, April 7. Secretary Weeks declined today a request from Mrs. Edwin H.

Randle that he cancel his order directing an investigation into the controversy between her husband, Capt. Edwin H. Randle, and Col. L. Conger, commanding the Twentieth Infantry at San Antonio.

The following telegram was received by the Secretary from Mrs. Randle "An understanding having been reached here, I desire to withdraw my request made to you for an investigation by an inspector-general and to request that no action be taken as based thereon." Secretary Weeks replied as follows: "I regret that it seems necessary for me to have a thorough investigation made of the case in which you are involved. It is of much broader importance than a personal difference between you and Colonel Conger. The publicity which has been given it creates in the minds of the people a serious reflection on those connected with the military service, and I wish to know all the facts." Irish Rebels Receive Ku Klux Klan Threat Warned Blinding Vapors May Be Used Against Eamonn De Valera. Dublin, April 7 (Copyright).

Anonymous typed notices from London, received here today, intimate the Ku Klux Klan is to begin operations in Ireland on April 14. The notices claim the klan possesses a new weapon, a vapor which blinds, and threatens to use it against "President" de Valera and Miss Mary Mac-Swiney after the next Republican outrage against the Free State.

Santiago, Chile, April 7. The Pan-American Conference will be called upon to adopt measures to improve the social condition of the workingman. The project to this end which the Chilean delegation purposes to present is especially intended to apply to the Latin-American countries where the condition of the laborers is described as inferior to that in the United States and in Europe. Kentucky Wesleyan Sus pends Professor Who Advocates Theory. BOARD OF TRUSTEES WILL PASS ON CASE Silencing Of Demaree Marks Reopening Of Anti-Darwin Fight In State.

Winchester, April 7 (Special). The fight in Kentucky over the teaching of evolution opened today when Prof. Ralph W. Demaree, occupant of the chair of physics at the Kentucky Wesleyan College, the "leading Methodist educational institution in the State, was suspended. The campaign for and against evolution is expected to continue through the year, because a general assembly is to be chosen this fall.

The fight was the outstanding feature of last year's assembly session. The combat will be'i based on whether or not the evolution theory shall be taught in any school supported by public money, including the University of Kentucky. Indorsed Theory In Lecture. Prof. Demaree created a sensation in an address to the student body by de- claring that the theory of organic evolution, as held by modern scientists, reconciles absolutely with the Biblical account of creation.

He further stated- that he "had no use" for the opinions of those men who will attempt to prevent the teaching of evolution in our schools. Prof. Demaree is a son of the Rev. Thomas Demaree, famed as a missionary to Japan for 20 years. An effort by editors of the college paper to print Professor Demaree's address met with an emphatic "No" from President William Campbell.

Faculty Frown On Talk. Other members of the faculty of the Methodist school frowned repeatedly during Demaree's address. "Evolution is as fundamental a theory in science as the law of gravitation," declared Professor Demaree, "and must be accepted by all ministers of the Gospel who are profound thinkers and fair in accepting the teaching of the Bible." No two truths can conflict, he said, and he is thus forced to believe in evolution, although not doubting a single statement in the Book of Genesis. Trustees To Decide. President Campbell declared today that Professor Demaree will not meet his classes, pending a meeting of the board of trustees, called for Tuesday.

Dr. Campbell's action suspending Professor Demaree followed receipt of communications from persons interested in the school, which is conducted under the direction of the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Professor Demaree has been with the institution for 16 years, first as a student, then as a principal of the. academy, which was abolished two years ago, and then in his present position. He has a masters' degree from the University of Chicago.

University Of Tennessee Has Similar Problem Knoxville, April 7 (Special). Professors and students of the University of Tennessee are up in arms over what they term the "autocracy" of President H. A. Morgan, Dean J. M.

Poskins, and Prof. John T. Thackston, head of the department of education, in refusing to reengage Prof. Jesse Williams Sprowls, because he used in his classes a textbook which expressed belief in evolution, in "new ideas" and warned against "the crushing of modern thought." The offending book was Robinson's "The Mind in the Making." The incident was revealed when a newspaper obtained a copy of a letter some of the faculty wrote the American Association of College Professors protesting against the university's "autocracy" against Professor Sprowls. Professor Sprowis ordered the textbook.

When it arrived, Professor Thackston saw it, and had it returned to the publishers, without Sprowl's knowledge. The latter resented the action, and was then notified that he would not be reengaged. When Professor Sprowls entered his classroom Friday, his students shouted, "we are with you 100 per cent." Many are aroused at what they consider an invasion of the liberty of thought of a scholastic institution.

Berlin, April 7 (Special Cable). The underlying cause of Princess Her-mine's visit to Germany, besides her desire to see her children and her aged mother, is to get financial, support to prevent the ex-Kaiser's financial collapse, it is learned today.

She went to her Silesian estates with the idea of putting the screws on at the expense of the workers in order to increase the income, already considerable, for the benefit of the Doorn household. She might have been successful had the workers not expected a raise in wages instead of a cut. As it was, the farmhands described social conditions for the workers on her estates as worse than those of the Middle Ages. From them radicals in neighboring cities got wind of Hermine's plans and they threaten an appeal by the labor unions to the Government to prevent her increasing Wilhelm's treasury at the expense of Silesian laborers. Germany Assists Him.

It has been no secret that since the former Kaiser commenced construction of his own little empire at Doorn republican Germany has repeatedly had to jump to his assistance to prevent the Dutch courts from declaring him' a bankrupt. From the very beginning his budget at "Doorn never balanced. He went far beyond his means. He renovated the whole estate, built a new lodge and numerous other buildings. All of it had to be paid for in Dutch money purchased with the paper mark allowance granted by the Reich on Wilhelm's confiscated property.

Up to the time of his remarriage Berlin came to his assistance. But now NAVY PLANE ENGINE RUNS 573 HOURS Test Would Have Covered 60,000 Miles At Usual Cruising Speed. Washington, April 7.

Warehouse And Part Of Stock, SEVEN ARRESTED BY DRY AGENTS Revenue Cutter Captain Dumped Overboard By Whisky Runners. New York, April 7 (Special). Prohibition agents seized 10,000 cases of liquor and fine champagnes, valued at more than $2,000,000, at the Dominion Warehouses, on West Broadway and made seven arrests today. The agents said they were looking for a prominent man whose arrest is expected. The raid followed an alleged deal by Saul Grill, mystery man of the bition department, to purchase the entire warehouse, top and bottom, and rart of its store of liquor for $1,500,000.

Said To Own Distillery. The prominent man whose arrest is expected, was the one who agreed to turn over the warehouse. According to Grill he is the partner of a man well known in baseball who owns distilleries in Cuba. Grill said he had visited this man in Washington, Buffalo and in this city. He said he had worked on the case for weeks.

Grill is the agent who caused the arrest of Max Halperin, New York lawyer, and Melville Sternfells, whisky broker, in an alleged bribery plot last August. He is more feared by bootleggers than any other agent. He refused to give details of the deal or to disclose the name he had used in making his $1,500,000 offer, as he said he had other deals in the fire and expects to raid additional warehouses within the next few weeks. Alleged Principals Missing. When a squad of agents, armed with a search warrant, arrived at the warehouse at noon they found the alleged principals missing, but the stage otherwise set exactly as Grill" had promised.

Liquor bulged from every corner of the six-story building and employes were busy packing and placing wrapped packages on a waiting truck. Six of these men were arrested and taken to the Charles street station. They were joined there later by William Cavan-augh, warehouse manager, who also was arrested. Grill said Cavanaugh had not figured in the deal. None of the men listed as owners of the warehouse were in the building when the raid was made.

2,000 Cases Of Champagne. The prohibition agents said the liquor was well the $1,500,000 Grill had agreed to pay for it. Besides excellent Scotch and rye whiskies and hun-. dreds of cases of imported cordials, there were more than 2,000 of the dryest of dry champagnes. How it was possible for bootleggers to smuggle in and out bo much liquor without police detection, agents said, was a mystery.

Most of the agents taking part in the raid were from Washington. Cavanaugh and the six other men were released on $2,000 bail each. Drop Guard. Captain Overboard. Two rum runners, captured In the motor launch Defi 13 miles off the Jersey coast, dropped Captain Ryan, of the Coast Guard cutter Manhattan, overboard as the cutter docked here and made their escape.

Captain Ryan, who had seized the Defi after a chase which he ended by firing a shot across the Defi's bow, was taking his captives ashore when a member of the Manhattan's crew fell overboard. He ordered the two prisoners to lower him over the side of the boat by his feet in order that he might reach the sinking man. They lowered him over head first, released their grip on his feet and fled. Rescued By Comrades. The captain and the sailor were rescued their comrades.

The Manhattan came upon the Defi just as she had taken on a cargo from cne of the rum ships in Ambrose Channel. The Defi sped away through the fleet with the Manhattan in close pursuit. A shot from the Manhattan frightened the rum runners and they sought refuge aboard the rum yacht Ister. Captain Ryan, of the Manhattan, commanded that they be turned over to him, and the skipper of the later complied. The Defi, with her cargo of 300 cases of fine whiskies, was placed in tow and taken to the coast guard barge office at the Battery, where Captain Ryan received his unexpected bath.

RUMRUNNER LOST WITH CREW OF EIGHT Bodies From Sunken Ship Found Floating Among Barrels Of Bottled Ale. BELIEVED IN COLLISION Tragedy In Vineyard Haven Sound Culmination Of Newport Water-Front Mystery. Vineyard Haven, April 7. A tragedy of the rum-running fleets was disclosed today when the bodies of eight members of the crew of the sunken steamer John Dwight were found floating in Vineyard Sound among barrels of bottled ale. The steamer, which went down within sight of the Cuttyhunk Coast Guards yesterday, was believed to have been damaged by collision with another vessel.

Whether the second ship also sank was in doubt. Carried Contraband. Indications were that the John Dwight carried the contraband cargo. Coast guards are of the opinion that the John Dwight, which left Newport, R. with New York as her immediate announced destination last Wednesday, went to tie eastward instead and nicked up a cargo from a rum-running mother ship, turned back to make her trin to New York and was anchored in Vine yard Sound without lights, as is the rum-trade practice, when she was run down.

Whether the eight bodies recovered account for all her crew was a question unsolved tonight. Water-Front Mystery In Harbor At Newport Newport, R. April 7.

Washington, April 7 (Special). Spooning and petting parties are not indulged in by those who take regular exercise.
