OPPOSED TO ABRIDGING OUR RIGHT A ishington, Feb. 24 —President 'LbTon has uttered a clear call to !.e oi ntry to support him against i: c effort that is being made in Congress to abridge the rights of Americans to travel the high seas. The President declares that such a yielding as is now proposed by the leaders of the revolt in Con gress will amount to conceding "the impotency" of this nation, and of surrendering the independ ent position of the United States among the governments of the world. President Wilson set forth these remarkably strong sentiments in a letter to Senator Stone, Chair man of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee which was made public tonight This letter breathes a deep determination on the part of the President to stand unalter ably for every right now possessed by an American citizen and in its firmness surpasses even the most exaggerated accounts of the Pres ident's attitude as outlined by him to leaders of Congress at the re cent White House reception. At the same time) the letter shows that the President is still Ernest-Lucerne Get Mine Lamps Mine Inspector Thomas Lowther stated recently that active work would be started in Mine No. 2, where the explosion occurred.

Andrea Massimo, confessed slay er of Carmine Tedesco, was com mitted to the county jail Tuesday afternoon. The verdict of the jury at the inquest conducted! by Coroner H. 11. Buterbaugh J'ound that Tedesco had come to his death as the result cf being shot by Massimino. According to Massimino s tale, he received an anonymous letter on Februarv 4. which was mailed t * in Pittsburg on January 24. It demanded that $3OO be placed on the Cokeville bridge on a certain date. The letter was turned over to District Attorney too late to carry out a plan of procedure for the date mentioned and there were no further developments in the case until Monday, when Massimi no received word from Tedesco that the latter wanted to meet him at House No. 72. near the glass works in Blairsville, on Monday I night. Massimino could not get : into communication with District Attorney Liggett, so he bought | himself a revolver, and filling it full of shells, started to appointed place of meeting. Tedesco was there. They had a few drinks and later took a walk. They strolled about the town for some time when suddenly Tedesco made a demand l'or $5O from Massimino and back ed it up by shooting at him. Massimino drew his weapon and opened fire. Following the shooting Massimi no went to the residence of Con stable Joseph Artey, aroused him at 4:00 o'clock in the morning and told him that he had shot a man | and wanted to give himself up. He was placed in the lockup and later brought to the county jail. The general opinion is that Mas simino will soon be exonerated. "Whether or n J.
