Wilson Property In Nebraska
Linked With Residency Here
O. Byron Copper, of Fremont, Ne
braska, register of deeds for Dodge
county, has traced property owned
there by Woodrow Wilson, World
War president, to New Hanover
county, where the power of attor
ney was executed by Jeanie W. and
Joseph R. Wilson in 1883.
1 Wilson was given power of attor
- ■ t
ney jn that year to make partition
of property which comprised the
William Woodrow estate, Copper re
ported.
At that time Wilson was in pri
vate law practice with another
young man, Edward T. Renick, al
Atlanta, Ga. He had been graduated
from Princeton university in 187£
and had gone to the University of
Virginia law school for one year.
Wilson and Renick were law part
ners for 18 months before Wilson
went to John Hopkins universitj
to begin his career as a college pro
fessor that ultimately led to th<
White House.
Copper said it was believed that
the Woodrow estate in Dodge anc
Burt counties in Nebraska was be
queathed to members of the Wil
son family. The wartime president’s
father, Joseph Ruggles Wilson, mar
ried Janet Woodrow. The Wilsons
who gave Woodrow Wilson power
of attorney, lived in Wilmington.
tVriting The Star-News of his dis
covery, Copper described himself as
a Northerner, adding: “My wife, the
former Annie Binford, is a native
of Wilmington, though later a resi
dent of Athens, Ala.’’

ment Will Be Taken From

BY WILLIAM B. ARDERY
RUSHVILLE, Ind„ Sept. 10.—UR

ations for his 18 - state western
stumping tour, Wendell L. Willkie

house-approved amendment to de
lay military conscription 60 days

The republican presidential nom
inee said in a statement to news

‘‘I hope that as a result of the
conference between the house and
senate conferees on the selective
service bill the Fish amendment is
eliminated.”
This amendment, sponsored by
Representative Fish (R-NY) and
suppo:t'J by many house republi
cr.ns, passed the house and now is
before a coi "erence committee
seeking to adjust differences be
tween senate and house conscrip
tion measures.
It would provide that the army
accept voluntary enlistments for
60 days before drafting men for a
total of 400,000 new recruits.
Willkie’s statement, drawn up at
6 a.m. and distributed to reporters
two hours later, also said he was
‘‘enormously gratified” by the re
publican victory in Maine.
Willkie said he had telegrap'jed
hie congratulations to Sumner Se
wall, the governor elect, and Rep.
Ralph O. Brewster, who was elect
ed to the senate. 1

Hoover Says Is Time
To Draw Line Between
Liberty And License
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.— (iP) —
Director J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI
told a Detroit minister in correspon
dence made public today that “it is
time to draw a line of demarkation
between liberty and license’’ in the

Hoover thus replied to a protest
by the Rev. Owen Knox, president
of the Civil Rights Federation,
against a Michigan FBI official’s
call upon police chiefs for names
