JOHNSON WOULD'
RUN ON LODGE
RESERVATIONS
CHICAGO, June s.—Discussion of
platform planks began today among
candidates for tne Republican nomi
nation, their managers and leading
Republican politicians here for the
convention. A series of platform con
ferences was started, at which the
treaty plank and other essential is
sues were gone over.
These conferences will continue
over Sunday. Leading Republicans
were endeavoring to counteract an
impression which they said had got
ten abroad that the Republican plat
form was framed in advance and
brought to Chicago by Senator Wat
son, of Indiana, the most active can
didate for chairman of the resolu
tions committee.
‘•There is no 'cut and dried pro
gram pn the platform,” said Senator
Watson today: “Certain tentative
drafts of a number of planks have
been made, embodying the views of
members of the house and' senate.
Rut these are merely for presenta
tion to the committee. Everybody
wili have a chance to be heard on the
platform.”
The candidates today declined with
one accord to comment on Senator,
Moses’ statement regarding “steam
roller” methods in deciding contests
before the national committee.
General Wood said all he wanted
was a “faip settlement” of contests
that would not leave acrimony and
dissension.
Senator ohnson said ( he was
“glad, of course, to receive the invi
tation” from Senator Moses to join
with the Wood forces.
“I have received many such invi
tations, the most of which involved
my becoming a candidate for vice
President,” said Senator Johnson. “It
is strange how many men who think
I am totally unfit to be president are
willing I should be vice president.”
Senator Johnson, who is preparing
to discuss in a speech Monday night
the treaty plank, the contests before
the national committee and other
questions, was asked whether he
would accept the nomination if the
platform should declare for treaty
ratification with the Lodge reserva
tions.
“I most certainly would,” said Sen
ator Johnson.
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler todav
denominated the primary system “a
fraud on the public” in a talk with
newspaper men. He said it did not
result in carrying odt the ideas of
lepresentative government.
When Senatbr Johnson was told
of Dr. Butler’s statement, he said:
“Strange that the men who get the
fewest votes in primaries should be
so against the system.”
He announced that after the elec
tion, no matter who wins, he wll.
initiate a movement in congress for
a nation-wide primary system.
“The people who 'are intelligent
enough to elect a president are intel
ligent enough to nominate one, the
views of the bosses to the contrary
notwithstanding,” said Senator John
son. “'Where' would I have been
without the primary system? I
wou 1 d have stayed at home.”
Pink 801 l Worm
To Be Steamed Out
NEW ORLEANS. June s.—The
pink boil worm, more destructive to
cotton than the boll weevil, is to be
steamed.
Poisoning has failed to kill the
pest, but it is expected that steam
ing will do the job and make it pos
sible for oil mills to handle seed
from infected territory.
The decision was the outcome of a
conference here between superintend
ents of cotton seed mills in Louisi
ana and other places where seed has
been purchased from areas known
to be infected wuth the worm.
SELLS GUARANTEED
FORD TIRES FOR $1
Mr. Herb Ford, tire distributor,
1798-F Grand avenue, Kansas City,
Mo., is causing a sensation in tire
circles by selling Ford tires, guar
anteed in writing for 6.000 miles, at
$1 each. He also sells heavy first
grade tourist tubes at the same price.
Mr. Ford buys tires by the carload
—sometimes taking a factory's entire
supply. Buying in such quantities,
Mr. Ford gets price reductions far
below the usual wholesale figures.
This advantage he shares with his
customers. He handles only new
tires (no "seconds”), free from de
fects, on a written 6,000-mile guar
antee.

Wing of Suffragists
Plans to Force Rival
Parties to Make Bids
CHICAGO, June s.—Chicago todav
is the center of the battlefield oh
which the fight for the woman’s vote
is being waged bitterly.
With the deadlock ot leading Re
publican candidates apparently tight
er than ever, their managers are
turning to the women for help, each
hoping that if he can win their sup
port the scales wiH be turned in
favor of his candidate.
Women’s bureaus ar e running full
blast today at the headquarters of
Hiram Johnson, General Wood, Gov
ernor Lowden and Herbert Hoover.
Hotel Hobbies are taking on the
aspect of afternoon tea gatherings.
But Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chair
man of the Republican women’s na
tional executive committee, has serv
ed notice that women are ndt going
to tolerate being used for mere "dec
orative” purposes. Adding to the
apprehension of the old-time politi
cians is the widely heralded plan of
Miss Alice Paul, militant suffragist,
who will stake a demonstration here.
It is announced thousands of wom
en will join the d’emonstration shq
plans. Her hope is to hold the
women in a separate block and force
rival managers and rival parties to
mg against each other.

Q. Where are the largest salt mines
in the world?’
A. The United States geological
survey states that the salt mines at
jSalzburg and Wielfzca in Austria and
Hungary and at Strassfurt in Ger
many are probably the largest.
Q. How large was the horse orig
inally, and how many toes did it
have ? \
A. The earliest known ancestors of
the horse were small animals, not
larger than the domestic cat, with
four complete toes on each fore foot
and three on each hind foot. There
is reason to believe that, still more
ancient ancestors had ffVe toes on
each foot.
Q. What is a soft shell crab?
A. A soft shell crab is a designa
tion given a crab at one period of its
life. The ordinary crab loses its
hard shell periodically and acquires
a new one. Immediately thereafter it
is referred to as a soft shell crab.
This throwing off of the lod shell is
the means of growth of the crab and
takes place not once, but several
times during ,the year.

powers by an Emperor of China?
A. The first audience was granted

the Ministers of Russia, United
States. Great Britain, France and
Holland. The German secretary act
ed as interpreter.
Q. What is the origin of the wing
ed'disk used so generally in Egyp
tian art?
A. It is probably a symbol in
herited from the Phoenicians.' The
unage of a man represented the sun
or the supreme being and the wings
signified its superiority over njan.
Q. What is the average salary of
country school teachers?
A. The bhbhaiij pie fdtiihtion! States

Will Send Army
Officers to Study
Oriehtal Languages
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.)
BY THEODORS TILLER
WASHINGTON, June s.—With
the early return to duty of General
Churchill, head of the military intel
ligence branch of the army, an
nouncement is expected of the men
selected by an army board to go to
China and Japan to study the lan
guages of the Orient. The present
plan of the war department is not
send more than four young men to
the Orient,-but there are well over a
hundred applications for the posi
tion. When' the successful appli
cants are announced the persons
designated will be sent by the army
to China and Japan and there at
tache 1 to the embassy staffs of the
United States in these countries.
The detail probably will be for
two or three years, during which
time it is expected the American of
ficers will master the foreign lan
guage and be reauy for any Oriental
mission the war department may
designate, i Major General Peter C.
Harris, adjutant general of the
army, said Friday night that the
special board to make the selections
had not yet filed its report, although
it may soon be expected. Temporar
ily, General Churchill, who has im
mediate charge, is on sick leave, and
announcement probably will be with
held pending his refurn to Washing
ton.
One or more Georgians are report
ed to be among the many applicants
for these foreign posts, but it could
not be ascertained what chance they
stand. Considering the number of
applications, but a small fraction of
those- desiring to enter the military
intelligence branch of the army for
this special language study can be
selected, as the present program is
to send two each to Japan and
China.
' The persons selected probably will
be designated as assistants to the
military attache of the American
embassies in the Oriental countries.
Fire in Ship’s Hold,
With 1,200 Passengers,
Is Held Under Control
NEW YORK, June s.—The Nor
wegian steamer Bergensfjord, bound
out of New York, which was report
ed afire 150 miles east of Fire Is
land early this morning, reported
later that the fire was under con
trol, and that the vessel was pro
ceeding on her way.
An earlier radio message asked
immediate assistance. The Ber
gensf jord’s fuel oil -was on fire and
there was an explosion.
The Bergensfjord sailed yesterday
for Bergen with a passenger list of
1,200, including 133 first cabin and
229 second ctlbin passengers.
A message received by officials of
the line from Captain Ole Bull said
the fire had been confined to the en
gine room, where one boiler was
rendered useless. A pipe exploded,
causing confusion among the. pas

REPUBLICANS CUT
OFF PROBE INTO
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
WASHINGTON, June 5. —The sen
ate committee considering Senator
Pomerene’s resolution provi .ing that
the campaign expenditures investiga
tion be continued, reported adversely
this afternoon.
Senator Calder, chairman o. the
committee on contingent expenses,
presented the report. Senator Pome
rene presented a minority report and
attempted to bring his resolution to
a vote on the floor of the senate.
Senator Pomerene attacked the
committee for delaying its report on
the resolution. He asserted that
there was an understanding that
the measure was to Jave been pre
set. . ;d to the senate 11 a. m. today.
Declaring that he was not de
ceived by “these methods of pro
cedure,” the Ohio senator charged
the Republicans with not desiring to
have the investigation continued.
"The senate can’t play favorites
with either men or party,’’ Senator
Pomerene said, adding that Chair
man Hays had hardly taken office
until the newspapers were filled with
reports that the largest slush fund
in the history of the United States
was to be raised. In Ohio, he said,
it- was reported that $600,000 was to
be collected.
“Can you Republicans who seem
to think that the goddess of fortune
favors you this fall, say to the peo
ple that it is none of their business
where you are g'oi»g to get your
funds and how you are going to
spend them?” asked the senator.
“Can any of my. colleagues on this
side of''the chamber also say to the
people that it is none of their busi
ness where they get their funds or
how they are going to be spent? We
are not going to say it and you dare
not say it.”
In closing, Senator Pomerene ask
ed unanimous consent to have the
resolution considered at once, but
Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah,
objected saying such matters must
lie over one day under the senate
rules.
Senator Pomrene suggested that
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the
Republican leader, tell in his key
note speech before the Chicago con
vention how the Republicans had
prevented the public from knowing
the amount that had been expended
for campaign purposes.
“I think it would capitivate a con
vention,” Senator Pomerene said. “I
am sure it would capitivate the
American people.”
Senator Pomerene’s resolution fin
ally was adopted wilhotu a record
vote.

A
Democratic Platform to
Be Writ ten at ’Brisco Is
Forecast by W. J. Bryan
BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
No one is in position to an
nounce in advance the subjects that
will be treated in the Democratic
pjlatform to be written at San Fran
cisco, but I venture to submit an out
line with the reasons that lead me
to believe that the subjects mention
ed will receive consideration.
1. The national administration
will be indorsed and the splendid
economic reforms secured will be
enumerated and emphasized. They
constitute an unparalleled record of
accomplishment. The conduct of the
war will be praised. Mistakes of
course were made, but they were
overshadowed by colossal achieve
ments that astounded Europe, and
even astonished ourselves.
2. The treaty will present an is
sue. The party stood together in
favor of ratification without reserva
tion, as long as that seemed possi
ble. When it was demonstrated that
ratification without reservations was
impossible, the Democratic senators
divided into two groups—the mem
bers of one group, 23 in number,
more interested in the treaty and the
League of Nations that.in the phrase
ology of the reservations, joined
with 34 Republicans to secure ratifi
cation with reservations, while 20
Democrats, preferring defeat of the
treaty and the League of Nations to
acceptance of the proposed reserva
tions, joined 17 irreconcilable foes
of the treaty to prevent ratification.
Unless a compromise is reached be
fore June 28, the convention will in
dorse the course pursued by the 23,
or the course pursued by the 20. The
overwhelming opposition to the. pol
icy of ratification without reserva
tions, as shown by the vote At the
primaries, will probably defeat any
effort to make the treaty an issue
Ih the campaign. An easy way out
is to pledge the party to an amend
ment to the consttiution providing
for ratification of treaties by a ma
jority vote. The^'Republicans would
undoubtedly support such an amend
ment, and both parties accepting it,
the senate could ratify the treaty
with reservatibns already agreed
upon, and take it out of’the cam
paign.
3. In this connection, it is likely
that the. convention will declare in
favor of "a cloture rule in the sen
ate enabling a majority to close de
bate and proceed to a vote.. It was
a platform declaration by the Demo
cratic convention of 1908 that put an
end to Cannonism in the house of
representatives, and it is time to
take another step toward Democracy.
Universal Military Training
Fourth—The convention is quite
sure to declare against universal
compulsory military training. The
Democratic causus in the house con
demned it by a vote of 106 to 17, ana
a poll of the senate showed nearly
as large a percentage of the Demo
crats of that body against it. The
demand for economy, growing more
and more insistent, strengthens the
opposition to the expenditure or
seven hundred millions a year in
preparations for war, while the peace
sentiment of the country revolts
against a system based on the theory
that war is a necessary port of civil
zation.
Fifth—The profiteer will receive
particular attention, especially.if the
issue is accentuated by failur’e'of the
Republicans to deal with the ques
tion satisfactorily. Some party must
take the people’s side against the
middlemen, and the Democratic party
is in a better position than the Re
publican party to do so because the
latter contains most of the profiteers.
The following remedies, increasing
In severity, have been suggested: A
trade commission in each state ana
in community, disclosure or
profit on each article sold, and limi
tation of profits, as in the case of in
terest on loans. In connection with
the subject of profiteering the con
vention is likely to favor a tax on
the war-profit millionaires to pro
vide a bonus for service men. It is
only fair that those who grew ricn
out of the war should do justice
to the men who took the risks or
service.
Sixth —The convention will have
to deal with the subject of private
monopoly. It is the most permanent
domestic issue and the beneficiaries,
of all the favor-seeking corporations
are massing under Republican lead
ership to oppose government owner
ship in any and every form. The
Democratic party must ultimately
become the champion of government
ownership of all natural monopolies,
but the corporation-controlled press
has so grossly misrepresented the
experience of the government under
war control that the opponents of
private monopoly may have to con
tent themselves with holding the
ground already occupied, leaving the
advance to’be made by future con
ventions. But the Democratic con
vention will at least reiterate the
doctrine already embodied in four na
tional platforms, namely, that a pri
vate monopoly is indefensible and in
tolerable.
Labor Question
Seventh—The labor question will
receive the attention due it. The
Democratic party will insist upon the
toiler’s right to equal treatment. He
is not only a citizen but he is an
indispensable part of our industrial
machine. He should be a willing
worker if he is to give to society his
maximum effort. He must feel that
he is receiving justice: he must be
welcomed as a co-worker and be
dealt with as a brother in the mat
ter of wages’ hours and rights.
Eighth:—The farmer also has griev
ances; his interests cannot be made
subservient to the ola'ims of the
commercial classes.
Ninth—The Democratic party has
already entered upon a good roads
program and will extend it. I hope
it will extend it sufficiently to in
dorse a” national peaceway connecting
the states.
Tenth—l am hoping for a plank
pledging the party to the advocacy
of a government bulletin—not a
newspaper, but a bulletin—under non
partisan control, which will give the
voters, for a nominal subscription
price, information as to issues be
fore the country with the reasons
advanced on both sides of each is
sue.
Eleventh —Woman suffrage will be
indorsed with congratulations if the
amendment is ratified before the con
vention with pledge of support if
ratification is not then complete.
Twelfth—Prohibition cannot be ig
nored. The wets want a plank con- ,

PALMER PLACES
CANDY MAKERS ON
RATION OF SUGAR
NEW YORK, June 5.—A joint dis
tribution committee to ration sugar
to confectioners throughout the
country will be. formed here within
two weeks. Armin W, Riley, special
assistant to Attorney General Palmer,
announced today.
Characterizing the sugar situation
in the United States as' more crit
ical than at any time during the
war, Mr. Riley said an effort would
be made to have bakers economize
on its use in pastries and to have
hotels and restaurants ration sugar
to their patrons.
Mr. Riley’s announcement concern
ing creation of a distribution com
mittee was made after a conference
here today with a committee of siix
appointed by the National Confec
tioneis’ association at its recent con
vention in Minneapolis. The new
committee will comprise representa
tive-s of sugar brokers, refiners, con
fectioners and soft drink and ice
cream manufacturers, and will oper
ate under the direct supervision of
the government flying squadron of
profiteer hunters, Mr. Ril4y said.
Mr. Riley declared if his efforts
to enforce the proper distribution of
sugar through refiners and brokers
failed he would endeavor to have their
licenses revoked. At the conference
one of the committeemen alleged that
housewives were hoarding affgar,
fearin g another drastic shortage.
Men Badly Stabbed Found
In Push-Cart by Passer-By
A man rushed into the Herbert
Street police station, Brooklyn, at 3
o’clock one morning and told Lieu
tenant Hayfield that he had just seen
two men trundling a pushcart which
contaied the bodies of two other men.
At Humboldt street, near Withers
street, Captain Wahle found the
cart overturned. Beneath it were
two men who had been stabbed. They
gave their names as Edward Wal
ters. twenty-nine years old, of 182
Eckt’Ord street, and Andrew Gordon,
forty, of 187 Powers street. Walters
was stabbed in the face and
and Gordon in the chest. They were
removed to Gneenpoint Hospital.
They, told the police that they
were walking along Humboldt street
when a man operating a pushcart
asked for a match. They said an
argument followed and the stranger
whipped out a stiletto and attacked
thenu
tlemning the prohibition amendment
but it is quite certain that,- before
the convention assembles, they will
find their case hopeless. They will
then try to prevept any declaration
on the subject, pleading for
"harmony” to which they would be in
different if they could secure a wet
plank. But they will not deceive
anyone. The drys will insist upon
a declaration in favor of the pro
hibition amendment which has been
ratified by every Democratic state
and by all but three of the Repub
lican states. They will also insist
upon an indorsement of the enforce
ment law supported by more than
two-thirds of both houses of con
gress. The convention fights are
likely to be over the treaty, the prof
iteer and the liquor traffic, with
the chances in favor of ratification
with reservations, and against flic
profiteer and the saloon.

WOMAN CHAIRMAN
PREDICTS GREAT
VICTORY FOR G.O.P.
BY MARY GARRETT SAY
(Chairman of the executive commit
tee of the women’s division, Re
publican national committee)
CHICAGO, Jilnel s.—ln the 21
months of its existence the women's
executive committee of the Repub
lican national committee has laid the
foundation for a national political
organization of men and women,
who, working together through the
party for the best interests of the
country and its citizens, should in
itiate a better, bigger, broader vis
ioned era in politics.
Today in thirty-eight states a wom
an, acting as associate chairman,
vice chairman of the state central
committee or representing a state
executive committee of women ap
pointed for the purpose, is directly
responsible and devoting all her
time to this work.
Absolutely no work has been un
dertaken by our committee without
consulting the men state leaders and
making sure that they entirely ap
proved and would co-operate. In
1,700 counties and in over three thou
sand precincts we now have a wom
an as well as a man leader on the
job. We are co-operating with them
in every way possible, furnishing the
news of women’s political activities
throughout the country, literature
and bulletins for their speakers and
workers. Our bi-monthly bulletin
goes‘out to eight thousand leaders
and speakers, our clip sheet goes to
more than fie thousand papers, and
thousands of women workers, and
we have distributed more than 3,-
790,000 leaflets.
Organizers have been sent to a
number pf states where aid in get
ting . Republican women to take an
active part in the affairs of the party
has been requested; Americaniza
tion work has beefi carried on in
conjunction with Atate committees
and our woman’s division has in
every way co-operated with the na
tional and state committees to fur
ther Republicanism among the wom
en. We feel as though the work of
the committee has helped the party
throughout, the nation and I predict
a great victory at the November
election.
Board of Trustees
Will Elect New
President of Auburn
MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 5.—A
successor to Dr. C. C. Thach as pres
ident of the Alabama Polytechnic in
stitute will be named by the board of
trustees Monday. Dr. Thach has
been in bad health for many months
and has been on sick leave a greater
part of this calendar year. His con
dition is improving, but it is doubt
ed whether he will be able to take
up his duties.
It is believed that Dr. Thach will
be elected president emeritus on full
salary.
Several men have been mentioned
as Dr.' Thach’s successor, but it
would be no surprise if Sprisht
Dowell, state superintendent of edu
cation, were named.
Very Short Crop
Os Tomato Plants
TIFTON, Ga., June s.—The yield
of tomato plants in this section will
be less than half a normal
growers now predict. Also the crop
from this point were expected to
from this poitn were expected to
reach 25,000,000 plants, but it is
practically certain now that they will
not go far over 10,000,000. Shipments
reached their height this week, hut
will probably last two weeks more.
The cold weather in February, the
frost in April and the unusually
heavy rains just as the plants were
coming up have combined to cut the
yield to less than half.
