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.

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 ; sengers for a time, they said. No ' one was injured and after | further danger from the flames had ■ been averted Captain Bull decided to ; proceed on, his voyage. Four Drowned Persons Were Found by the Police j The bodies of four drowned per i sons, two men and two women, were ' found by the police recently.

The woman’s body in the Harlem River was recovered at 151st street. Sue was about thirty-fiye years old, five 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. Southern Chinese Vote to Secede From Canton Government SHANGHAI, June s.—(By the As sociated Press.) —At a meeting of prominent southern Chinese leaders, held here Thursday, it was voted to issue a manifesto proclaiming the secession of the provinces of Yun nan, Kwiechow, Hunan, Shensi, Szechwan and Hupeh from the Can ton administration of the southern Chinese government.

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- , AvLmJu'Aa, O, i«y«43» 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.

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.
