WASHINGTON. March 11. Attorney-General
Palmer's entrance into
the presidential race this week was
followed by statements to the effect
that the act was taken In pursuance
of an understanding with the presi
dent, and that "Palmer in the race
means Wilson out." This in turn has
been followed by denials. The way
this episode came about gives an op
portunity to get the first glimpse of
clarification in the democratic situa
tion. For more than three months I
powerful group of democrats who are
strong in the party organization have
been urging Mr. Palmer to be a can
didate. Undoubtedly Mr. Palmer has
wanted to run, for he is an exception
llv ambitious man. But he felt
obliged to take the position that he
could not announce himself bo long
as he did not know and had no way
of finding out whether such an act
would be agreeable to the president.
Preaideat'e Silence Embarrasses.
The president's silence has been
embarrassing to the friends not only
of Mr. Palmer but of Mr. McAdoo as
well. On Mr. Palmer's part the ir
resolution forced upon him by the
conditions persisted as late as last
Saturday. Then a situation arose
which made It possible for Mr. Pal
mer to get in the race not so much on
his own account as in the role of a
volunteer giving help to the adminis
tration. In Georgia one of President Wil
son's bitterest enemies within the
party, ex-Senator Hardwick, was
making an effort to capture the dem
ocratic delegation on an anti-Wilson
i5sue and t,hose democrats in Georgia
.who are loyal to Wilson needed some
candidate favorable to Wilson to
make the fight. The opening was
presented to Mr. Palmer and he
jumped into it.
Initiative Comes From GMnrli,
Mr. Palmer in his public telegram
of acceptance to these Georgia demo
crats was careful to make it clear
that the initiative came from the
democrats of Georgia and not from
him. In the same spirit he stated the
reason for his act in these words: "I
derm it highly Important that the
democrats of Georgia should have the
opportunity to directly pass upon the
record made by the present adminis
tration and the candidacy of one who
supports that record in every phase."
Deputy Coroner Decides to Hold
Autopsy Husband Employed
In Candy Factory Here.
i
Mrs. Albyn I. Lambert and her 154-
year-old baby girl were found dead,
apparently from asphyxiation, at the
Lambert home, 20V4 Grand avenue
North, yesterday afternoon.
Deputy Coroner Leo Goetsch, who
took charge of the bodies, announced
that an autopsy would be held to de
termine the cause of death.
The two were lying on the bed and
when found had apparently been dead
but a short time. A gas water heater
was burning in a rear. room. The
water tank had burned dry and the
air was filled with the odor of burn
ing paint.
The woman and the baby were ly
ing on the bed and they had appar
ently been, either asphyxiated or had
died from suffocation, Mr. Goetsch
said. ' ' .'
Motorcycle Patrolman Schad and
Detective John Moloney also made an
investigation.
Mr. Lambert is a candy maker, em
ployed in a local factory.

BT LINCOLN EYRE
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
PARIS, March 11. The first thing
that impressed Itself with photo
graphic clarity on my consciousness
a few moments after our arrival in
Moscow was the sight of Leon Trots
ky, people's commissary of war, rac
ing through the Tverskaja in a big
limousine. .The second was the spec-,,
tacle of an old woman dragging be
hind her a diminutive sled, heaped
with small logs, falling down on the
ice-slippery pavement .
That the old woman should have
fallen was of little moment, for she
was evidently unhurt, but that of
many passersby not one .should have
gone to her assistance was a painful
phenomenon. In any great city out
side Russia a dozen persons would
have hurried to help the old dame to
her feet.
Now the Moscovites are not less
kind or courteous than other folk; it
is simply that If they undertook to
pick up every woman who slipped
down in the snow they would be thus
engaged all day long. - In Moscow
there is too much big distress to make
the lesser troubles even noticeable.
Comrade Trotzky and the poor little
babooshka (grandmother) tottering
along with her sled of logs were both
of the proletariat, therefore both dic
tators over the erstwhile empire of
the czars. Yet the difference betveen
them was as broad as that separating
Nicholas II from Leon Trotzky three
years ago. That is the paradox of
proletariat dictatorship and of Mos
cow. Substituting sleighs for taxicabs,
snow for asphalt and sheepskins and
furs for tailor-made clothes, the scene
that met our eyes as we emerged from
the big terminus in the capital of
the soviet republic differs little from
that which one beholds outside the
Grand Central station. New Tork.
There were porters, though their skin
was white or fairly so and they did
not wear red caps. They were paid,
and well paid, for their services.
The taxi chauffeurs, or rather the
sleigh-driving isvostchiki, also got
paid, and at exorbitant rates. ' Two

Senator Ashurst Wanders Away
From Grain Resolution Dis- .
cussioa to Fix Blame.
i
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, March 11. Serious criti
cism and a touch of humor marked
the discussion in the senate this af
ternoon on the Reed resolution to in
vestigate the United States grain cor
poration and charges made by a Spo
kane federal grand jury against Max
H. Houser of -Portland. Or.,, grain ad
ministrator of the northwest.
Senators' Chamberlain of - Oregon
and Kellogg of Minnesota took the
serious side of the question, while
Senator Ashurst of Arizona became
facetious in elaborating on the al
leged political tinge of the resolu
tion, declaring it was aimed at Her
bert Hoover and not at the grain cor
poration. Mr. Ashurst also assailed
President Wilsoii's handling of the
peace treaty. . '
Hoover Is Defended.
Senator Chamberlain said ' be
would not oppose the resolution, but
that he thought the investigation be
ing made by the department of jus
tice was adequate. He defended Mr."
Hoover as a man of fine character
and a patriotic citizen, after which
he said: t
The strange part about this whole
situation to me is that a grand Jury,
acting upon the advice of a trained
lawyer, should go to work and make
a damning report against an Indi
vidual without finding an indictment
against him. It seems to me that if
these men were justly criticised in
the report' of the grand jury,- there
must have been enough evidence to
have warranted their prosecution and
conviction."
Senator Kellogg, like Senators Ash
hurst an Chamberlain, said he was
not opposed to the resolution, but he
paid a high personal tribute to the
men who managed the grain corpora
tion. Senator Ashhurst said:
Ashurst Favors Motiom.
"I am heartily in favor of the mo
tion. We have only 66 Investigating
committees out. Each committee that
is conducting an investigation is a
joke and we ought to have another
investigation because we need another
joke. This is the season for jokes, so
I think tlje resolution ought to pass
unanimously. ,
"I hope that no one will object to
the resolution, for I understand that
it is not an investigation of the grain
corporation, but is an indirect thrust
at Mr. Hoover. ' Let us therefore add
the name of Mr. 'Hoover and strike
out all the other parts.
"Mr. Hoover will never be president
because he is not a democrat, but if
he would say the words, 'I am a demo
crat,' he would be elected president,
because he can do things."
Senator Ashurst wandered away
from the discussion, which began
with the resolution to investigate the
grain corporation. He asserted there
was an effort to keep the peace treaty
before the senate in order to avoid
consideration ot other questions, such
as universal military training and sol
diers' relief.
Then he startled his hearers by re
ferring to the treafy situation. He
wound up with this parting shot at

mlnation on his part that his action
should not be misunderstood at the
White House. Persons whose public
acts have any relation to President
Wilson are a little nervous since the
Lansing episode.
But Palmer's act does represent an
understanding with the party organ
lxatlon, with what may be called the
"staff officers" of the democratic
party. About 25 of the more lmpor
taut leaders of the democratic organ'
lzatlon held a meeting in Washington
this week. The meeting was called
primarily to discuss means of over
coming a deficit in the headquarters
treasury, but It resolved itself into a
meeting of minds as to how best to
meet the embarrassment which the
party suffers a the result of Preei
dent Wilson's position.
Leaders D Net Blame Wlleoxu
Mr. Wilson will not at this time
say whether or not he expects to run
himself nor indicate in any other way
what his wises as party leader may
be. There is good reason why he
should not. The democratic leaders
don't particularly blame him for his
silence; but they have a painful reali
sation that this silence embarrasses
them, e dates of the presidential
primaries are coming close, and ii
the organization leaders in the vari
ous states don't put forth someone in
those primaries, there is danger, from
their point of view, as in the present
ease of Georgia, of a good many dele
gates being picked up by persons
outside the organization, like Hoover,
Bryan, Edwards or Reed.
In this dilemma the organization
was forced to choose some one to en
tar the presidential primaries as be
ing bt an Informal way the organiza
tion representative. Propriety de
manded that this should be some one
connected with the administration,
for the organization must seem to
approve the administration. Within
this limitation the choice narrowed
down between Palmer and McAdoo.
Kesusoaa for Palmer's geleetiesi Gives.
The chief reason for their selecting
Palmer Is that they like him better.

the democratic national committee,
and his associates have a high affec

Eleven persons are known to be dead,
one reported-dead, two missing and
eigat Injured as the result of a tor
nado which swept through iht valley
of Turkey creek, near Branson and
Hollister, In Taney county, today.
Seven of the dead are minor chil
dren of Dan and wniiam Sox, broth
ers, living at Melva, a . small town
five miles south of Branson.
Mrs. Alva Howard and child, living
at Melva, were killed instantly and
William Jackson, living five miles

home and no trace found of them or
the house.
' Man Carried loOO Feet.
Ridgeway Manky was carried 1000
feet from his home at Melva. and
when he regained consciousness on
the opposite bark of Turkey creek,
he saw his young brother William
struggling in the water. He was too
weak to give aid. Later the body of
the brother was recovered down
stream. The bodies of the Box chil
dren, according to reports here, were
taken from Turkey creek, which had
been swollen to large proportions by
Incessant rains last night and early
today. Because o&the rains the roads
were impassable, and there was no
school in most localities today. Con
sequently, many children, who were
playing away from home, are be
lieved to have been caught unawares
and injured.
The storm was not confined to Mel
va. Reports of homes carried away,
buildings destroyed and children In
jured continued to pour Into the cen
ter of the stricken area tonight. The
storms swept through a district In
cluding Melva, Kirbyville, Taneyvllle,
Mildred, Oasis, Forsyth and Branson
although not so fiercely in the last
two towns.
Rra-lon Crlebratrd Oar.
The entire, area Is well known to
thousands of tourists who annually
visit the Ozark region, known as the
"Shepherd of the Hills" country.
Reports of unusual effects of the
storm were numerous. A work train
of eight cars south of .Branson, on
which the wives of six workmen lived,
was moved 200 feet down the track
and the cars uncoupled, but none of
the occupants hurt.
The hotel at Melva was practically
demolished, while six women were
seated near the fireplace. Falling
bricks, plaster and splinters struck
but one of these women, and she was
not seriously injured.

"American Pep" Passes, Birth
Rate Drops, While "Man Apes
Woman, Whoops lfcr Reforms."
CHICAGO, March 11. Dr. William
J. Hick son. hesd of Chicago's psyco
pathlc laboratory, today declared that
"decadence of the nation can only re
sult from the ascendancy gained by
women In affairs."
"The women have secured the drop
on the men In this country," said Dr.
Hickson. "The nation has put its
head in the noose of purltanism and
degeneration of Individual and na
tional fiber Is inevitable."
Dr. Hickson said "prohibition is
typical of the modern puritan mania."
and added:
"The church movements are typical.
They, with prohibition, with so-called
high standard of morality, result in a
deterioration of masculine physical
and mental virility. There Is a fall
ing off of creative ability. The low
ering of the birth rate already Is no
ticeable. American pep, which wn
the result of a masculine-dominated
country, soon will be a thing of the
past.
"The effeminatlon of man already
Is noticeable. The male today is in
ferior In most respects to the female.
He is aping her in the matter of
clothes. He bows to her legislation
and vaguely whoops It up for her re
forms. He is fast taking second place
and with his fall there is no question
that production in the United States,
mental and material, will decline."
