Secretary of State Accused by Wilson of Usiining-Powers of President by Cllin Meetiiufi W Cabinet During President's 111 Robert Lansing ended his eareeras Secretary of State Friday after Pres ident Wilson had accused bun ol usurping the powers of the PresMent by calling meetings of the cabinet during Mr. Wilson's illness. A Wash ington dispatch states: Mr- Lansing denied he had sought or intended to usurp the presidential authority. He added, however, that he believed then, and still believes, that the cabinet conferences were t f or the best interests of the republic"; that theyjwere "proper and necessary be cause of the President's condition and that he would have been derelict in his duty if he had failed to act as he did. ' . As the record stands, Mr. Lansing tendered his resignation and Mr- Wil son accepted it. The resignation was offered, however, only after the Pres ident, under date of February 7, had writttn asking if it were true that Mr Lansing had called cabinet meet irgs nr.d stating that if such wire the "ase he felt it necessary to say t .at "vr.iler tat consti. itional law and practice icveloped h.h-?rta. no .one but the President has the right to summon the heads of the executive departments inte conference.' 'Mr. Lansing answered two days la terlast Monday saying he had call ed the cabinet conferences because he and others of the President's official family "felt that, in view of the fact that we were denied communication with you, it was wise for us to con fer informally together on matters as to which action could not be postponed until your medical ad visers permitted you to pass upon them." . The secretary concluded by saying that if the President believed he had failed in his "loyalty" to him, and if Mr. Wilson no longer had confidence in him, he was ready to "relieve you of any embarrassment by placing my resignation in your hands." The President replied last Wednes day that he was "much disappointed" by Mr. Lansing's letter regarding "the so-called cabinet meeting." He found nothing in the secretary's let ter "which justifies your assumption of presidential authority in such a matter' and added that he "must frankly take advantage of your kind suggestion to resign." "I must say," continued the Presi dent, "that it would relieve me of em barrassment, Mr- Secretary, the em barrassment of feeling your reluct ance and divergence of judgment, if you would give up your present of- fiA nnrf itllow mn to Delect some one else whose mind would more willingly go along wltn mine." Roforn this letter was written thr date for the regular cabinet meet inglast Tuesday had passed, and the correspondence discloses why the cabinet did not meet. On the same day that he received this letter from the President, Mr. Lansing an nounced he had written the cabinet officers that he would not call any more cabinet conferences for the pres ent, but no explanation was offered Inquiry at the White House brought only the statement that Mr. Wilson himself- probably would call and pre side at the next session of his official advisers. But the differences between the President and the secretary long pre dated the first cabinet call by Mh Lansing, which was issued last Octo ber fifth, seven days after Mr. Wil son returned from his western speak ing tour and took to his bed. They began at the peace conference in Paris, as Mr. Lansing disclosed in his final letter to the President, under date of yesterday, and had continued since that time one of the chief dif ferences being over the government's attitude toward Mexico.

Maxton Chamber of Commerce Re organized Talk of a Cotton Mill- -It is -learned from the Scottish Chief that at a meeting held, in the office of Mr. H. A. McKinnon of the 6th inst. it was decided to reorgan ize the old Maxton Chamber of Com merce and the followinfir officers were elected : D- M. Clarkson, president ; j J. r. Wiggins, vice, president: A. J. Steed, secretary-treasurer; directors D. M. Clarkson, J. P: Wiggins, A J. Steed, B. S. Barnes, Lacy Williams, W. O. BennettE- T. Carrowan. The dues were 'fixed at $2-60 quarterly A cotton mill for Maxton was dis cussed and several thousand dollars were subscribed- PRESIDENT IN THE RIGHT. Mr- Lansing Too Offcn Assumed , Prerogatives of a Judge Employ j er's Patience Was Exhausted When Hired Man Drank Up His Quart, if. n; DuJ w11. known 8U- ywi. "-"t T t thor and lecturer, who will speak at the fcigh school auditorium this eye-, ning; has been a- guest at the Lorraine; hotel since Saturday morning. Mr.; Read spent many years in newspa-, per work on the largest daily papers, In the country. During a delightful j conversation with him in his roojn at the hotel Saturday night, naturally; the sensational dismissal of Secre-j tary Lansing was touched upon, and. expressing the opinion that Priesi-, dent Wilson undoubtedly was right, Mr. Read recalled that when Presi dent Garfield was shot he was sent by i the New York Herald to interview. several Governors as to tneir views on the duty of the Vice President Mr. Read was asked by The Robesoman to write something for its readers in regard to the Winson-Lansing inci dentEditor). Not out of the war, a battle or the sinking of a ship, came there to the editors and politicians of this coun try an acuter surprise than the letters exchanged between President Wilson "and Secretary Lansing. And at no time in the elegance of French diplo macy, itself has there been revealed a .correspondence so rejined, so ex pressive of inky good will but so blood-letting with the lancet of pol ished) expression. Nothing is -softer than! the fur that hides the tiger's claw-t ' But if law and government be mat ters jof precedent, the President is wholly in the right. While the aver age politician was making cross roads, speeches, pandering to the pre judice of the present, Mr. Wilson de voted himself to the work of delving into une very bosom of statesmanship. That he should have aroused antagon ism is not in the least astonishing. Narrowness cannot comprehend breadOh, and ignorance is always positive in its wisdom. It appears that Mr. Lansing, able international lawyer that he is, too often assumed the prerogatives of a judge. But the clerk of a court, dur ing the illness of a judge, would go far were he to confer with the jury relative to a prospective decision. The President was within the sanc tuary of the constitution-. It seems that'Mr.-.Lansing broke a window and looked out. On this subject an old character expressed himself yesterday. "I know how the President feels over it " said he- "I had a case somethin' like it in my own house. I had a hired man an A T nut all sorts of confidence in him. In my affairs he was my see- I ona seii. wan, x was vut& uunu I For a time he managed everything ... ngnt. men ne tuck it into ras head that he wa'nt active enough, so he sold my potatoes for less than I could have got for 'em. But-1 could have overlooked that. Then he let a feller off with half of his debt for the rent of a piece of land when I could have got it all. But I let that pass. Then he married a widder that I was in love with, still I clung to him till he went too far." "And what did he finally do?" some one inquired- "What did he do? Why, search his soul in a tar kiln, he drunk up my quart of licker; and I takes my gun and I says, 'right here's whar we part; yes, sir, and I tell you the gos npl civA out riirht tfmr ." Yes. that diplomatic ink bout of- ifered shrewd reading.
