Faith iii Wheeler Told by Woman Continued from rare One sometime ago offered Mr. Pepper 5o,- 000 to settle this." Offer Included Fee Mr. Gray: "Wasn't tho offer made with the understanding that a fee should be Included?" "I don't know anything about that. I was merely told that that was your offer," the witness rejoined. In describing her visit to Columbus to .attend her husband's funeral, Mrs. Joyco ascrtcd her sister-in-law warned her that Wheeler was not treating her fairly. "When I iound my affairs were so tied up," she continued, "I was mor tified that I was so taken in and was to gullible. ' "Once when tho Wheelers called at my house the judge begged me not to do anything. I did every thingWliecier told me, even nftcr no aumuieu ins theft." Tho barrage of questions was brpken for a minute with nn intiaenc in wnicu a calendar figured. Date is Recoiled Mr. Gray called the witnesses atten tion to tho date, March 8, 101 1, on which sho testified bIic made n call on the former judge. "In your testimony you said that date was on a Thursday. As a matter of fact it was Friday," said Gray, accus ingly. Mr. Taulano stepped over quickly to where the opposing counsel stood. "Wo won't ndmit that," tho prosecuting official said, "we, will look it up." A court calendar was found. It re vealed that March 8, 1917, was on a Thursday, as tho witness had said. Mr. Taulane turned triumphantly to Mr. Gray. "I wasn't going to admit anything that wasn't right," he declared. "You are never known to admit any thing," was Mr. Gray's return shot. The defense counsel, addressing the jury, then said ho wanted to bo fair to the witness and that the date did fall on Thursday. Didn't Want Relations Mixed Mr. Gray asked the witness if she hadn't told the former Judge that she dldn t want Mrs. Wheeler to know about tho matter. "I told him I did not want him to mix our social and business relations," she replied. "I thought Judge Wheeler acted as my trustee," the witness continued, in answer to other questions. "I authorized him to do nothing. He paid all bills. I would not have pre sumed to tell him what to do with the money nt that time. I don't know how Judge Wheeler paid the bills." "Did ho not givo you his personal check?" asked Mr. Gray. "Yes, but it was my money," the witness replied. "There was never a time when the estate owed him money. He used my money as be. did his. own." "Did you think Wheeler was using your money in his account?" 1 never gave it a thought. I was not living off tho bounty of Judge Wheeler," Mrs. Joyce responded. "You knew your money was depos ited with his account?" "I questioned that and I think as a result of my questioning be told me he would open up a trustee's nccount. You will see that later he signed his checks as trustee. Even though he did draw money on his personal account I knew the money was mine." ' An impression that the statute of limitations will be invoked in the case has gained grouud in the, courtrooni. Should this act outlaw the $38,100 Sn bonds in dispute it would be but $10, 200 to be accounted for. This, it was hinted, might be covered by a claim for "counsel fees" for that amount for Mr. Wheeler or for fees as secretary and treasurer of the Joyce Realty Com pany, Mrs. Joyce admitted under cross-examination yesterday that when she suc ceeded in having jurisdiction over her husband's will removed from Ohio to Pennsylvania Judge, Black, of Ohio, warned Mrs. Wheeler that she was u "veiy dangerous woman." "I think he was probably right," Mr. Gray injected. Germans Assail Allies Peace Terms Continued from Tare One shall be a peace of lasting understanding nnd conciliation among tho nations, and that it must thus give Germany the possibility of permanently observing the principle of understanding and conciliation. "Drive Germans to Despair" ino jsatfonal Assembly and the government arc working with devotion nnd energy to fulfill the great task of giving peace, bread, work and a new constitution to a great nationt The task is difficult to fulfill as long as those who have it in their power to givo the world peace allow themselves to he dominated by the feeling of hatred and revenge and, by means of tho hunger blockade nnd by threatening our an nihilation, ore driving the German peo ple to despair. "Five month ago we accepted our enemies' terras. We agreed with tbem on the basis for a conclusion of peace, we have fulfilled the hard armistice con ditions, disbanded our army and sur rendered enemy prisoners, but peace is still withheld from u. Though defense less nnd economically exhnusted, we are still cut off by the blockade and our prisoners are still detained, which is equivalent to a continuation of the war. "Jt is a burden such ns no nation has as jet been rompellcd to endure. We have done everything to obtnln peace from our enemies nnd to liberate our nation from this Intolerable torture. Tbo responsibility for all the consequences which must follow the continuance of the present situation, for us and the world, must fnll on their shoulders." President Ebert concluded by de nouncing the internal disturbers of tho country, whose action, he says, "threat ens to completely destroy our economic life." Denounces Bolshevists "The yearning of the masses for hu man dignity," he continues." is no ex cuse for a handful of disorderly agita tors who systematically endeavor to dis turb the construction of the German republic. The new Germany cannot be created by a jump in the dark, which would certainly be n jump into the abyes. A Bolshevik dictatorship of the proletariat minority would certainly ruin industrial Germany in a few months. "A speedy external peace, based on understanding and a league of nations. is a vital question for us, but no less , does our salvation rest on the necessity for peace and work at home. I, there- fore, in this grave hour exhort all , classes of our people to cease tearing ono another to pieces. Win a vlctorv over yourselves j open your eyes and see the abyss." Easter Exodus Starts at Penn A general exodus 'of Penn Btudents is taking place today and all classes at the University will adjourn from to night 'until jTucsday morning.

Business-Man Type for Mayor Favored 1- Continued from rats One l.ind of man to tho office of Mayor" wero urged by Mr. Trigg at last night's dinner." Senator Vare would not comment on cither of those points mndc by the Chamber of Commerco head. "I am not going to discuss the mayoralty now," he said. "I nm not going to cross any bridges until I come to them." "Business, not politics," was the keynote of Mr. Trigg's address, iu which ho urged business men through out the city to "free Philadelphia from every condition which has exerted a restraining influence upon its progress." The Chamber of Commerce's "hat is in tho ring." Its platform, as an nounced by Mr. Trigg at the banquet. may be summarized as follows : Business administration for the city of Philadelphia. . 1. lection of the right kind of man to the office of mayor. High-speed transit system. Improved water supply. Clean streets. Revised charter, or amendments to old law to carry out plaus. Elimination of smoke nuisance. Members of tho Rotary Club heartily indorsed the sentiments expressed by Mr. Trigg, which mark the beginning of greater activity in civic affairs by the various business organizations. BAILEY MAKES TART ANSWER TO PALMER Senators -Beat Giants l'eternbur. Vs.. April 16 Thr Vah Indon Senatora defeated the (Hants, here esterday afternoon by a score of lu to 3 Asks if "Arrogant OfficeholcN ers" Eliminate Old-Timers. "What's tho Use?" Washington, April 1(1. The state ment of A. Mitchell Talmcr, attorney general, in u Pittsburgh paper attack ing Joseph W. Bailey, formerly senator from 'Texas, for his ref erences to the existing organization of the Democratic party from which he announced his withdrawal, has drawn from tho Texan n sharp retort. A letter from Mr. Bailey to Attorney General Palmer, obtained yesterday, recited what the writer considers to be the primary and trndttionnl policies of the Democratic party, which, he said, "iu tho diijs of our fathers were the proverbs of democracy." "If, sir, the arrogant officeholders under this administration ran succeed in driving out of the Democratic party all of the men who believe in these principles," Mr. Bailey said, "it would not be worth while for jou and your friends to hold another national con vention, for your candidate could not carry a single state in this union. "I understand, of course," the let ter continued, "that the force of habit is so stroug in certain states that you could not drive from you all of the men whom jou would now proscribe and mnny of them will continue to vote your ticket, though your platform af firms what they have heretofore de nounced nnd denounces what they have heretofore affirmed." Referring to Mr. Palmer's statement that the Texan has "lost the vision of Democratic principles," he retorted that the attorney general was "talking in the clouds." and that politicians with "vision" nlwajs nre visionary nnd "visionary politicians hao noer done nil) thing but make mischief in this world." i gm WEVROLET One Ton LWorm Drive Truck (l . reflects the ideals of the Company to produce a really high grade commercial car at a price consistent with its quality.
