f . 3Ialntalns Silence.'
1 .WASHINGTON, March 19. Factional
battle flags were hoisted tonight In
"both Democratic and Republican camps
In preparation for the conferences to
morrow and Saturday over House or
ganization plans.
The Republicans are divided along
nany lines. While It Is now generally
conceded that' the party will have a
full ticket In the fie 11. the progressive
bi-partisan, temporary organization and
anti-Mann factions are expected to have
much to say before a programme is
finally agreed upon.
Democrats face a serious problem In
the announced opposition of Represen
tative Gallivan. - of Massachusetts, a.
"wet" Insurgent generally credited with
a score of followers, to the organiza
tion plan for re-seatlng old committee
chairmen and advancing other com
mittee men to chairmanships under the
seniority rule. I
.. Gallivan to Support Clarlc
Mr. Gallivan announced today that
while he would support Speaker Clark
for re-election, he would not ' go into
the Democratic-' caucus, would oppose
the Democratic organization commit
tee plan and 'would further urge the
naming of several Republicans to com
mittee chairmanships.
"I am unalterably opposed to. the
Southern Democrats remaining In the
saddle throughout the . coming Con
press," Mr. Gallivan said. "They have
had virtually all the choice chairman
ships in the past and they should not
have them again. This Is no time for
one section of the country to be con
trolling the House."
Democrats will caucus tomorrow af
ternoon and a complete organization
plan will be worked out. Tentative ar
rangements for making committee as
signments probably will be adopted.
Republicans to Meet Today.
TheRepublican committee of 27 will
meet tomorrow, afternoon and prepare
Its final recommendations to be pre
sented to the Republican conference
Saturday. It already has adopted a
resolution recommending that a- com
mittee of 15 to be headed .by the

the House, but also for the conduct of

publicans will insist that their member
chip take a constructive" stand on all
Important measures. Should they dis
like a Democratic proposal, the pro
gressive element insists; they should
offer a substitute instead . of merely
objecting. They also think the party
should offer various progressive meas
ures without regard to Democratic ac
tion. The Question of whn ibVi a 11 1 nr.-
leader in case the Democrats organize
the House also probably will bj brought
before the meeting. Whether Repre
sentative Lenroot, of Wisconsin, the
acknowl .dged Profe-ressive-Republlcan
leader, will be put actively into the race
against Representative Mann in case of
the re-election of Speaker Clark is
causing much speculation. Mr. Len

Representative Mann Is expected to
offer his bi-partisan organization plan
and Representative Towner's temporary
organization project , will be discussed.
. Representative Martin, Progressive
protectionist of Louisiana, who many
think may cast the deciding vote for
Speaker, signalized his return to Wash
ington today by refusing to say whom
he would support. Mr. Martin also ap
peared to think Representative Ran
dall, of California, Prohibitionist, had
attempted, to speak for him when he
eald recently four of the five Inde
pendents 'would support Speaker Clark,
wd he entered a vigorous denial of the
right of anyone to speak for him. He
also made public a telegram he said
Mr. Randall sent him last Monday an
nouncing Mr. Mann's coalition proposal
and suggesting quick action by the In
dependents 'to secure credit -for or

means committee today arranged to
hold a. meeting tomorrow after the

TONG WAR BREAKS ANEW
(Continued From Flrat Page.)
cupants sought safety behind closed
and barred doors.
The 40 neutral Chinese merchants who
met In the offices of the Chinese Benev
olent Association, near Fourth and
Davis streets, yesterday made an inef
fectual attempt to conciliate the war
ring factions before the time set by
Mayor Albee's ultimatum expired.
Tong leaders refused to attend the
peace meeting, declaring that they
would not hear of "peace without vic
tory." Following the meeting the fol
lowing telegram was sent to San Fran
cisco by the Chinese Peace Society:,
"Chinese General Peace Association,
140 Waverly place, San Francisco The
Mayor of Portland today sent an ulti
matum to the various tongs and de
manded that tong war cease at once.
Peace pact must be signed in 48hours.
If order is not obeyed he will instruct
police to arrest all Chinese until they
prove their right to reside in the
United States. We had .meeting this
afternoon without accomplishing any
thing. Unable to see different faction
leaders. We appeal to you for help.
Shooting mus stop immediately if we
wish to prevent wholesale arrests by
Mayor of Portland. Please use all your
influence in this matter and consult
with different factions in San Fran

"PEACE SOCIETY,
"Lee Mee Ginn, President."
Other Cities to Co-operate.
Seattle and San Francisco Joined
with Portland and The Dalles yester
day In the plan to force an end to the
tong war.
Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco,
agreed with Mayor Albee over the tele
phone last night to follow Portland's
lead in an effort to force the tongs
to sign a peace pact and officials of
Seattle agreed to do likewise. The
Portland tongs yesterday showed de
fiance of the Mayor's order.
Mayor Albee's plan was announced
Thursday night in the form of an ulti
matum to the Chinese that if the tong
leaders do not present a signed peace
pact by 8 o'clock tomorrow morning,
every Chinese in this territory will be
jailed and held for Investigation as to
his right to be in the United States.
Up to last night Mayor Albee had
heard nothing from the Chinese. He
says the police have been given .posi
tive Instructions to start the whole

sale rounding up of all Chinese unless
they show their' peace pact.
Within two hours after Mayor Albee
talked to Mayor Rolph a telegram was
received from the chief of police -of
San Francisco, saying that Mayor
Rolph had given orders for co-operation
with Portland 'and that the San
Francisco police department would ex
ert every effort to make' the anti-tong
war crusade a success.
Disdain Is Apparent.
Uncertainty and covert disdain are
about equally apparent In Chinatown,
following the receipt of the Mayor's
declaration.
"What can they do about it? neatly
sums up the comment of many local
Chinese, who declare that the arrests
will not capture the real culprits and
will end- nowhere.
Chief of Police Clark and hft men
hold different views. They are ready
to act on the hour Saturday morning,
and will -arrest every alien Chinese on
vagrancy charges, counting on the con
sequent moil and trouble in Chinatown
to exercise a powerful influence for
peace.
In keeping with this decision, the
police yesterday were, engaged in a
complete census of Chinatown's men
of seeming leisure, taking their names,
ages and addresses. Resident and
American-born Chinese were exempt
from the order, and will, in most in
stances be unmolested, but the smart
young drifters, the unattached labor
ers and all the riffraff of the Chinese
quarter will assuredly be taken In the
police net If the tongs do not make
peace by the time set.
It is the contention of the police
that most of the gun.men, hired by
the heads of 'the warring tongs to slay
and carry out the programme of ter
rorlzation. will be captured In this
manner. Lacking proof of American
birth, or failing to have "chock-chees"
(permits to become residents of this
country), theywill be turned over to
the Federal authorities as undesirable
aliens for deportation. It is counted
upon that this step will bring the tong
men to theirsenses. j

The Motor Alliance la not yet or

ical Headaches
This trouble commonly called "sick
headaohe," Is said to be due to the retention
ot urea In the system. Often It Is stated that
a poor condition of the blood Is a cause of
these headaches, or that It is a nervous con
dition; and In certain cases, no doubt this
Is true.
Where treatment Is demanded. It Is more
for the pain than anything else, and Dr.
A. P. Sohellschmtdt of Louisville, has found
anti-kamnla tablets to give prompt and
satisfactory relief. "Rest should be InBlsted
upon," he says, "and the patient should go
to bed, darjcea the room, and all the atten
dants and family should be as quiet as pos
sible. An emetlo will sometimes shorten
the attack. The bowels should be kept open
and a hot bath and a thorough run-down
with a coarse towel, often give grateful
relief. Two antl-kamnla tablets when the
first signs appear, will usually-prevent the
attack. During an attack, one tablet every
hour or two will shorten the attack and
relieve the usual nausea and vomiting."
These tablets may be obtains! at all drug
gists. Ask for A-K Tablets. They are also
unexoelied for nervous headaches, neuralgia
and all pains.
