(Br Dudley Siddall) Toledo, 0., May 1-The state can do no wrong. But will it do At its next session the Ohio General Assembly will be asked to appropriate a special fund lor Carl rapenrues. unio unpriswueu enfuss for nearly six years. He had committeed no crome. His daughter's doJayed confession of perjury brought Papenfuss a par don from Governor Harry L. Dav is. It also brought a railroad ticket, $10, and a suit of prison made clothes. This was all Carl Papenfuss received for his six long years of heartbreak and misery; years that he wasted behind the walls of the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus. "Money cannot make up for the state's error," says John W. Raab, Toledo attorney who has directed the fight for the old man's free dom. "But money could help. Be cause of the basic principle in law that the state can do no wrong,' there is no ground for a damage suit. Compensation for this man is simply a question of generosity and fair play on the part of the state legislature." Friends Ask Aid If it wre up to Papenfuss alone, ro compensation would be asked. Bat he has friends, including Jud-e Byron F. Ritchie, who sen tenced him, and Raab, the attor ney appointed to look after his in terests six years ago when the court learned that Papenfuss had no money with which to defend himself. , , , , All the victim asks Is for his old Job ns a laborer in the Wabash car shops, his picturesque Dutch pipe, and the association of hia many grown-up children. He is heartily ei -k of sympathizers. Ko talks little of himself. But his fece lighted up in a amile when his eon Carl's name was mention ed. "My bay Carl," he exclaimed, "is (he b(H boy any man ever had." Thi praise is deserved: Carl Jr., fa a laborer at Wabash railroad rarthopi. Through all the dark days which began with his father's arrest on Oct. 13, 1916, he has st-Ktd by his dad. "Dai wasn't guilty," said Carl. "I kr.ew it. He never did what my mother said he did." Moxher Was Accuser The mother, who died three years ago, accused her husband of rn r.ttack upon Martha, their daughter. It was she who discov ered the daughter's plight. She seized upon the situation as the means to ?end the husband away. Martha, with all the blind terror of a fourteen-year-old girl, grasp ed in the clutches of the cruelest pitfall that life can set for her sex, obeyed her mother. She lied on the witness stand; lied her father into a life sentence. Martha's baby died soon after the father began his - sentence. Time passed. Martha grew up. She married a man who knew all, but did not blame. When the mother was dying, Martha hurried to the death-bed. "She tried to tell me something before she died," said Martha. The daughter felt the mother wanted her to confess. But "I was ashamed," said Martha. "I didn't know how to get started." , Confession is Made Recently Martha made her hero ic decision. ' She risked scorn and humiliation. : But truth prevailed, for Martha, now at the age of twenty, realized the enormity of her earlier falsehoods. - "It wasn't father who did it," eho told her brother Carl. "It was a boy J' ". . Carl went to Attorney Raab, the man who, at state expense, had fought the "state for the father's freedom back in 1916. Raab went to the pardon board. They sent for arl and Martha. The "best san a man ever had" spent his last cent for railroad tickets to Colum bus; trusting to luck for his fare back home. Bravely Martha told her story, answering every ques tion fearlessly., The pardon board believed. Henc'e Governor ' Davis signed the paper which has ju3t released-its 62-ycar-old victim. The old man's homecoming to Carl's home wa3 the orcasion of festivities. The Wabash railroad sent word the eld job was open. , , Family Reunited Martha, a quiet, pretty young wontan, was there, an unaffected heroine.. She found love, sym pathy and understanding. Her daddy never blamed her, even, dur ing his trial. "I feel good," said Papenfuss. Perhaps he does. But his hair it white, his broad shoulders are bent, and his once sturdy frame isn't that of the man who went way to prison years ago. There are furrows in his face, and a downward droop in the lines of his mouth.

COFFIN) Raleigh, May 1. Eleswhere in North Carolina is the first of May on an off yean, the base are biting, flowers are blooming, crops are being gotten under way and all that sort of thing; here m a little less than five weeks until the Demo cratic primary. Not that Raleigh itself is so ter ribly interested, for it is no more exercised on its own account than ia the average North Carolina com munity; but folks from the Third district where nobody, except Matt Allen, Rivers Johnson, Sam Hobbs, Col. Joe Robinson, Charley Aber nethy, Hamp Williams and one of the Sampson county WhRfields, wants the seat in congress from which death has removed S. M. Brinson, keep coming in and insist ing on talking politics. Then, too, Johnston county is somewhat disturbed by the fact that there are two candidates one from Wake, Herbert E. Norris and the second from Franklin, Willie M. Person competing with Ed Pou, of Smlthfield, who has kept his seat in congress for twenty-odd years without anybody so much as looking at him as if he ought to get up. Chatham county, too, it. said to be threatening to go Republican. Cumberland is raising the dickens because the other counties in her state senatorial district have de cided that they will take the sena tor this time without so much as a by-your-leave. All of this makes for conversa tion, and everybody who can't get an audience at home always comes to Raleigh to .tell hit troubles. That's what Raleigh's for to lis ten to troubles. And the neighbor ly old. village is naturally sympathetic- besides one never knows who is goin to be elected ana sent by his people to spend awhile in this community's midst so it pays to take no chances on 'em. The contest over, the Corpora te Commissionehip between Chairman W. T. Lee and A. C. Avery gave signs of stmulatimr conversation, but has failed to set the countryside agog. Raleigh will be one of the last places in the state to believe that a member of the present state administration can be defeated in the primary. T-i r ... . . ura. ira Lanaritn ana rurley E.

He; said he arrived at the boat in about 18 or 20 minutes and was about to go aboard when some one called and told him he was wanted at home. "It was William ruthers,,' caU Eastlake, and he told me my wife had been murdered and said "that woman is there. Tasked him who the woman was and as far as I remember he said she was Miss Knox."

Prediction is Backed By Fifty Years Experience Change Will Take Time. (By Harry B. Hunt) . Washington, May 1. "Like the armored knight of old, the armor ed battleship of today 'will pass.

To immediately stop building or scrap all our armored oauiesnips wnue Mil rtiln theirs would be- as foolish as to pin our faith wholly to them and refuse to keep pace with the development of naval defense aiong oiner lines. Such are the conclusions of Rear Admiral Seton Schroeder, retired, former commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet. 60 Years In Service. Schroeder, in 60 years of active naval service, saw Uncle Sam's navy develop from a few wooden gunboats armed only with smooth bore cannon, to its present strength in great ships and big guns. The limitation of navies, under the recent Washington agreement this old sea-dog declares the great est step toward stabilizing world peace. Yet to be most effective for peace purposes, he maintains the ratio must be filled, not merely rec ognized as a limit beyond which the respective countries may not go. "Unless the United States keeps her navy up to the ratio provided,' Schroeder says, "which gives us a navy second to none, the whole force and effect of the ratio is lost. "The good will which the United States has won by her initiative in limiting navies, is in itself no small factor toward a maintained peace. There is a saying in a certain sec tion of this country that the polit est community is that in which ev ery man carries a gun. That may be so. But it makes for a rather nervous sort of peace. How much Dexier is mac peace wnicn rests up on good will!" As to some of the possibilities in the navy of the future, Schroeder says: "It is possible, of course, thst the submarine may be developed to where it may virtually assume bat tleship proportions and fighting ability. I believe, however, that a much more likely type is that of a vessel which, while not a subma rine, could submerge to a point that would make her practically awash." Few. naval officers have had a more varied or interesting career than this old officer of 73 who has put in more than half a century in the ..service. This period, in which the American navy, .reached, ' its maximum' development.'is Interes't ingly covered in a volume of rem iniscences the admiral has just written, entitled: "A Half Century of Naval Service." , Not for Landlubbers. In this .volume, Schroeder clears up the reasons for the issuance of the orders "Right" and "Left" in stead of "Starboard" and "Port." which caused much (comment in the early days of the Daniels' admin istration of the navy. The order was commonly under stood to have been inspired by a landlubber's dosire to meddle with old navy regulations. The real rea Ron, however, Schroeder says was the changes brought , by modern steering mechanisms. "To effect a change of course to port (left) the command had al ways been 'starboard!' : (right)," he explains. "This command re ferred to the helm, in use on old vessels. In the past half century, however, the helm has been entire- i Ix eliminated and a steam, hydra I lc or electric rasing substituted. Simphncation demanded 'that the order should he in keepinir with the signal and, being applied to thp nrtlml mdnor inafaail nf n mi.- A considerate part of the fortune is said to be in property on the ;ater front at Palm Beach.

Tchitcherin referred only to the treaty signed at Rapallo and omitted a categor ical denial of any understanding of a political or military nature with Germany. M. Tchitcherin's refer ence to the hospitality of France to the Russian people was particular ly resented. Draft of Property Articles Genoa, May 1.

The ruling of David Blair, , commissioner of internal revenue, that persons who contributed to the Woodrow Wilson foundation fund may not 'deduct such contributions from their in come tax returns, was withdrawn Saturday at the instance of -Secretary Mellon. It was .. announced that the withdrawal was "pending further consideration of the mat ter," but it ia believed the action will be final f ; Commissioner Blair's ruling al lowing contributors to the Roose-r velt and McKinley memorials to deduct their donations, while deny ing such privilege to the Wilson admirers, was about to bring on a bitter partisan row in Congress. While it is known that politics did not. enter at all into the mind of Mr. Blair when he made the rul ing which was based on the differ ent characters of the organizations. Democrats saw in it a slight of the living cx-President and were get ting ready to demand legislation, if necessary, to circumvent Commis sioner Blair. v Secretary Mellon said today in a letter to Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, one time secretary of the treasury, that he did not know ef the existence of the Blair ruling until publicity was given it in the press. The secretary said he was asking Commissioner Blair to lock further into the matter and pend ing this the ruling is withdrawn.
