Lived in Shack While
Daughter Had Luxuries
Special to the Telegraph
Burlingame, Cal., Jan. 28.—A
strange story of buried pasts was re
lated here by Mrs. Marie Berglund, 80,
who, declaring she is the mother of
Mrs. Emille Marie McGregor, former
wife of Gustav J. McGregor, ex-Mayor
of Burlingame, says she will contest
the will of her daughter.
Mrs. McGregor left her estate,
valued at SIO,OOO, to Mrs. Mary Olsen,
her former housekeeper, and several
others.
The assertion of Mrs. Berglund, who
for many years has subsisted in a lit
tle shack in San Francisco, while her
alleged daughter lived in luxury on
the peninsula, came as a startling sur
prise to McGregor. The former
Mayor says he always understood his
divorced wife was an orphan, and
that she told him she was the sole
survivor of a family which had been
shipwrecked on a voyage from
Sweden.

Bachelors to Go to Jail
to Escape All Proposals
Special to the Telegraph
Hurst, 111., Jan. 28.—Some eligible
young men of Hurst plan to occupy
the empty jail to escape from design
ing females during leap year.
Going to jail to preserve one's lib
erty may be rather paradoxical they
admit, but they say there is one thing
worse than jaii and that is marriage.
The trouble with Hurst is that there
are more marriageable girls —or
would-be marriageable girls—than
there are marriageable men.
As a result the young men have
been so much sought after they have
been forced to resort to novel means
for self-protection.
The jail Isn't so bad after all. It Is
situated in the center of the town
park and surrounded by a grassy lawn
with shady trees.
Also—Hurst being a model town —
It has never been used.
The men will fit It up with lace cur
tains and velvet carpets and move in
soon.
Doors, they have announced, will
be double-locked every night in order
to keep out prowling women.

the court had Sabbath services in
mind, the boy didn't.
"No, sir, not Sunday, nor Saturday,"
said he gravely. "We don't have school
on those days."
Other Cases
Only one youngster was sent to Glen
Mills. He is one of the four boys who
were arrested for snatching wrist-bagp
from several shoppers, one of tlie
others was remanded to the house of
detention; the other two were released
i 011 probation. Sentence was suspended
| on a 15-year-old boy who was with the
group that annoyed Mrs. C. E. Moul
on Hallowe'en. His case will be dis
j posed of after his three older coni-
I pan ions are sentenced in February
special sessions. George Kirkwood,
charged with stealing a bicycle, was
released on probation. He said he
took the bicycle during a tit of "the
blues." This was brought on, court
officers explained, because the new
child labor laws precluded his work
ing.
The only girl on the juvenile trial
list was discharged because there was
no evidence to hold her.
The girl had been arrested for steal
ing $30.25 from a boarder in a Steel
ton boarding house. Counsel for the
youngster pointed out that the prose
cutor might have brought the charge
in order to divert suspicion from him
self or his friends. The boarding
"boss" was the prosecutor.

WILSON WARNS OF
DARKER RELATIONS
[Continued From First Paste.]
a note that the United States has
never been and never will be an ag
gressor. Restrained as he was in some
of his tensest moments, however, he
left no doubt in the minds of his
hearers that he has determined to
carry his program for preparedness
through, no matter what the cost to
himself. At the conclusion of his
speech he said:
Confident of Success
"I have not myself the slightest
doubt of the outcome of this fight for
preparedness. Not the slightest
thing that ought to be done will be
left undone. No political party, no
group of men can afford to disappoint
America."
The President made it clear at the
outset of his speech that he was going
to touch on a wide range of subjects,
although preparedness was the domi
nant note of his address. Pointing to
the Act that each of the warring
countries of Europe party lines have
been set aside for the common good,
the President said:
liay Aside Party Lines
"How can Americans differ from
the safety of America? If the people
of other countries can lay aside party
lines why cannot we do it? Only the
other day the leader of the minority
in the House of Representatives
sounded this note and I take It that
he spoke for those behind him as well
as for myself. I want to take this
occasion to pay my respects to him
and acknowledge the obligation I am
under to him."
There were cheers all over the din
ing hall for Representative James R.
Mann, of Illinois. When they had
subsided the President spoke of Am
erican provincialism.
"Only yesterday," he said, "we were
afraid to match our wits with the
wits of the rest of the world. We pre
ferred to be provincial. But we can
no longer afford to be provincial. We
are not looking for war. We do not
want war.
l.iberly Before Peace
"Woe to any man who plays mar
plot or who seeks to make party poli
tics or personal ambition take pre
cedence over candor, honor and un
selfish, unpartisan service!" said the
President in speaking of his defense
plan before the railroad men. He de
clared that the country expects action;
this Is a year of accounting, and the
accounting must be definite on the
part of the parlies and on the part
of every individual who wishes to
enjoy the public confidence."
During his speech before at the rail
way banquet, where he cast aside al
most entirely the text of Ihe address
that he had previously prepared for
delivery to-night, ho was frequently j
interrupted by applause.
The President admitted that In a
message to the last Congress he had
said the need for preparedness was
not pressing, lie declared that he had
learned something in the meantime, i
lie cited his recent support, of a tariff
commission as another Instance of a
change on his part, but declared that
previously there was no need for such
a commission. The businessmen en
thusiastically cheered his support of
the commission.
Mr. Wilson spoke of men of high
character who were clouding the pre
paredness Issue. He declared they
were provincial, and that the United
Slates could no longer cut itself off
from the rest of the world.
The President vigorously defended
his Mexican policy. He asserted that
to invade Mexico would mean the los
ing of the confidence' of the rest of
the Western Hemisphere. He cited
the freeing of Cuba as an instance of
good done by the United States.
"If we arc drawn into the male
strom which now surges in Europe,"
the President declared, "we shall not
be permitted to do the high things we
would prefer."
The President defended the con
tinental army plan drawn by Secre
tary Garrison, and said that he did
not care about the details of any
plans as long as 500,000 trained men
were provided as reserves under the
Federal government. He advocated
strengthening the National Guard,
but said the Constitution itself put
the guard under the State. He added
that the United States will not turn
in the direction of militarism.
Outlining why the United States
should prepare, Wilson said we must
protect our rights as a nation and the
rights of our citizens In America and
outside of It as the consensus of civil
ized peoples has defined them: must
Insure the unembarrassed realization
of our political development within
our own borders, and must protect
the peace and political autonomy of
the Americans.
Industrial preparedness, with the
military training of students In In
dustrial schools, was proposed by the
President. Ho left consideration of
navy plans for later addresses.
Businessmen who formerly relied on
protective measures In their dealings
with foreign powers were criticized
by Wilson. He said American bual-
