July 23.-President Wilson late today ended the bitterest | fight of his administration by with drawing the nomination of Thomas D. Jones, of Chicago, to be a member of the federal reserve board. Mr. Jones had written urging this action. The message of withdrawal reached the c?nate Just as Senator Reed of Missouri, one of tlie democrats oppos ing confirmation of the appointment, was concluding- ? vigorous denuncia tion of the International Harvester company, of which Mr, Jones Is a di rector, and those responsible for its existence and operations. It created a mild sensation and cut short a de. bate that promised to run Indefinitely. With the brief message, thc presi dent sent copies of Mr. Jones' letter and his reply. Opposition to the nom inee had been based on his connection with the Harvester company, which is under indictment aa a.trust. The sen ate hanking committee had submitted a majority report adverso to confirma, tlon, signed by all the republican and . two d?mocrate memberB. Mr. Jones wrote that this report was "based on a distortion of facts and perversion of the truth." In his reply, President Wilson ac cepted Mr. Jones' suggestion with re luctance and scored those who, he said, had treated hia nomm?e with "gross and manifest injustice." He disclaimed any embarrassment in ctandlng by a man he believed In, but declared he was .unwilling, to allow ' Tiri Jones to -be"; p, "football" lu the contest that bad sprung up.' - <- . Correspondence between the prest- ; dent and Mr. Jones made public at the white house today follows In part: "Chicago. July 20, 1914. "My Dear Mr. President : "1 have reached a definite conclus- ! lon that lt is my duty to ask you to withdraw my nomination as a mem ber of the federal reserve board. You are aware that I was In no t-ense whatever an applicant for the office, lt was with the gravest reluctance that I agreed to accept the honorable but heavy burdens of that office In case my nomination were sent to the Ben ate and confirmed by lt. I did not then anticipate a protracted and bit ter contest. At the Invitation of the committee on banking and currency, I willingly appeared before it and I endeavored to answer with' ? entire , frankness all the questions that were j asked and my testimony was made , public at my request. I "It ls not for me to surmise motives ? or to complain of results. That my , nomination and tho controversy that , has arisen ocer it in the committee on banking and currency is seriously em- < barraaslng your administration and is i causing injury to the party of which < you aro the leader la too clear to ad- l mit of any doubt. And in view of the character of the report' made by the < majority ot the committee on banking . and currency, much of it baser on dis- 1 lortton of facta and perversion of j truth-I feel convinced even, if the 1 nomination were eon rm ed by the senato my usefulness as a member ot the federal reserve board will be seri ously impaired. < "I am not willing longer to remain < the cause of embaraasment to you and 1 to your administration, and in view of the considerations above stated, I now . ask that you withdraw my name from 1 consideration. \ "Faithfully yours, "Thomas D. Jones." ! At the white house it was said that the president's action* did not indi cate that there had, boon any change , In hts determina* lon : to insist upon the confirmation of Paul M. .Warburg, whose nomination - to the reserva board also is being opposed. The senate contest over' the Jones case, which threatened partial obi it- , oration of party linea and a free for all struggle was at its height when the president do term 1 nod to abandon S through.

Senator Reed began with a' review * of President Wilson's position against 1 monopoly, as expressed lb the Presl- r dent's writing, his expressions as to , the personal guilt of officiais ot of fending corporations, and Democrat 13 platform declarations, on the same ? subject.

Never were there more or .more beautiful floral tributes and remem brances for a funeral in this city, and Mr. Martin aptly said that tills was un outpouring of love for the foremost woman in Anderson. At times Mr. Martin was so full that it was with difficulty that he could speak. He described beautifully and feelingly the useful life of this good woman and said that if she had cared Bhe could have been as much honored throughout thc country as Frances* E. Willard, but her domestic duties kept her attention as well as her efforts for the community. Dr. Vines with feeling added a few words. He had ever felt the inspira tion* that Mrs. Bleckley's encourage ment gave him, and her passing is a great personal loss to him as well as to the congregation, to the cause of right, and to the people.
