KRW YORK, April 7. (Special.)
Pennsylvania has a favorite son for
the republican presidential nomina
tionGovernor William C. Sproul. H
is overwhelmingly the first choice or
that state, according to a poll of the
county chairmen. , ,
Major-General Leonard Wood Is the
second choice. Sproul received 91.3
per cent of all the first-choice ballots
cast, with Wood taking the remaining:
8.7 per cent.
, On second choice Wood got 34 per
cent, with Governor Frank O. Lowden
of Illinois coming next with 23.2 per
cent. Senator Warren G. Harding of
Ohio came next with 14.5. while 13
per cent of all the chairmen casting
second choices voted for Senator Phil
ander C. Knox, who might be called a
"favored" son.
Democrats of Pennsylvania also
have a favorite son in the person of
Attorney-General A. Mitchell Palmer.
Eighty per cent of all the democratic
chairmen in their returns indicated
that Palmer was the choice of the
democrats of their counties for first
place honors on the democratic ticket.
AicAdoo, Bryan, Wilson and Hoover
each received one mention.
Pennsylvania Has 76 Delegate.
Pennsylvania will send 76 delegates.
12 of them at large, to the national
convention in Chicago. This will be
the largest delegation except the 88
of New York state. Naturally, all the
political managers in ineir uum xwi
delegates are looking with longing
eyes on the riches in Pennsylvania.
They do not understand that Governor
Sproul is a serious candidate and be
lieve the "pickings" for the other
candidates will begin to materialize
after the first ballot in Chicago.
The delegates will be elected at a
primary May 18. It is a presidential
preference primary, the entrance to
which may be obtained by filing a
petition with only 100 signatures, rep
resenting not less than ten counties.
Entries for the preference and for
candidates for delegates do not close
until April 8. It is understood that
the Wood. Lowden and Harding man
agers do not intend to contest the
preference with Governor SprouL
their work being devoted to Intensive
cultivation of delegates and makers of
delegates with a view to convincing
them that their particular man should
be the residuary legatee of SprouL
Penrose's He turn Awaited.
Everybody In Pennsylvania, as well
as in some other states, incidentally is
waiting for Senator Boies Penrose to
return from Palm Beach, hoping that
then they will find out whom he will
favor in the presidential race. His
friends assert that he does not care
for Wood at all. The guess is that
he will finally land in the Harding
or the Lowden camp.
Morris L. Cooke, a consulting engi
neer who has been identified with re
form politics in Philadelphia, has
formed an active Herbert Hoover club.
He was director of public works in
Mavor Blankenburg's cabinet, 1911
1915. A Hoover movement is also under
way among the faculty and under
graduates of the University of Penn
sylvania. The Hoover people say they
will enter his name for the presiden
tial preference, but if he follows his
precedent in other states he will not
permit this.
While Attorney-General Palmer,
with Vance McCormick, former chair
man of the democratic national com
mittee, controls the machine of their
party in Pennsylvania, they will not
have entirely smooth sailing, it is
reported.
TIIOIBLE DEVELOPS WITH RE
LIGIOUS OBSERVANCES.
Io.lciiis and Christians I'airly
Harmonious, but Ottomans and
Jews Frequently Clash.
CAIRO, April 7. While details of
the clashes between Moslem and Jews
in Jerusalem are withheld, indicating
that a censorship has been imposed,
it is pointed out that the Moslems now
are celebrating the "MouEsa," the
Jews the "Passover" and the Chris
tians Easter. There 18 always risk
of collisions during the processions
incidental to these observances, of
which there have been a number in
former years.
Travelers say that anti-Semitic feel
ing has developed recently among
Arabs, but that there has been no
show of hostility between the Mos-x
lems and Christians. When proces
sions of Moslems and Christians met
on April 2 not an unfriendly word
was uttered, but bands of Moslems
and Jews clashed the same day at the
Jaffa gate, the Jews crying: "We won
the country by the sword and will
keep it by the sword."
A melee ensued, but British sol
diers calmed the trouble. There were
subsequent disturbances, Jews being
attacked Whenever met.

is even some anxiety regarding the
probable course of the allied govern
raents.
Banking, financial and business cir
cles are more outspoken. The opinion
is freely expressed that intervention
was untimely and detrimental to
French interests.
At the stock exchange today the
belief was expressed that the French
government fell into a trap cleverly
laid by the German government to
separate France from her allies by
asking for Individual French author
ization to enter the Ruhr district and
putting it up to France alone to re
fuse Germany permission to take mil
ltary measures.
The dollar rose today to the high
est point ever known 15.36 and the
pound sterling to 61.10. The Belgian
franc even rose to 1.09. On the other
hand French francs decreased on all
markets.
The German mark reached 25 cen
times, a rise of five points since last
Friday.

government a riote protesting against
the French occupation of Frankfort
and other territory on the right bank
of the Rhine.
Move I-oild to Revolt.
"We must, in the name of justice,
reason and humanity," the German
note says, "make the sharpest pro
test against the action of the French
army. It cannot possibly have been
the purpose of the treaty of Versailles
to prevent Germany from restoring
order as quickly as possible in the
part of its territory most seriously
disturbed by bands of robbers.
"The movement in the Ruhr region.
If it had not been quickly opposed,
would have shaken the republic to its
foundations both politically and eco
nomically. "Everywhere that the troops ar
rived the movement quickly col
lapsed." The note poins out that alleged vi
olations of the treaty must, under the
terms of that instrument, be redressed
by all the signatories on the allied
side and not by a single one, acting
independently.
Fear Declared Absurd.
"The, idea that the dispatch of
troops to the region could In any way
involve a menace to France is so ab
surd that it does not require to be
refuted," the note continued, "and it
may therefore be maintained with the
fullest conviction on Germany's part
that there is here no intentional vio
lation of the peace treaty which could
make the German government respon
sible in the meaning of the peace
treaty. Even if such a violation had
hn committed the military act of
vinlptira now committed by the
French government would not be jus
tified."
The note further contends that un
der the league of nations, wnicn la
an integral part of the peace treaty,
the attempt ought first to have been
made to solve such u dispute by inter
allied arbitration.
Serious Results Forecast.
'The German government," contin
ues trie note, "must poini uui wim
special emphasis that the military co
ercive measures taken by the Drenen
government will necessarily have
most serious consequences in ineir
political and economic aspects. It is
impossible for any government in Ger
many to maintain order in this un
happy country, which has been shaken
again and again by deep convulsions.
if at every step it meets wnu unjus
tified suspicion on the part of Ger
many's former enemies and is exposed
continually to renewed miseries and
disturbances of her economic jne.
The German government naa wel
comed the fact that the French gov
ernment, too, had just recently ap
peared ready to pave the way to an
understanding, but how ' can those
ideas, which are so important for the
reconstruction of Europe, be convert
ed into deeds if at the same time a
French army marches into Germany
and thereby causes tne deepest ex
citement and bitterness amongst the
German people?
What the German nation neeas
above all is quiet. Only then can the
product of its labors so tar Improve
that it can live to fulfill the hard con
ditions of peace.
Redress Is Promised.
A proclamation addressed by the
German government to the inhabitants
of the towns occupied by the French
was issued today. It says:
"Less than 5 4,000 troops have been
collected in the Ruhr district, or al
most the exact number permitted by
the agreement with the entente.
France has regarded it as reconcilable
with the state of peace to occupy
flourishing German towns as a re
prisal. The world's peace has never
been more monstrously played witft
than it nas been just now oy jranoi
"It is that hard-hearted opponent
which alone 's responsible for mak
ing you the victim of this Shylock
policy. The imperial government will
do everything it can to shorten your
period of suffering. It will not let
Germany be shattered in this cun
ningly devised fashion."
A special session of the national
assembly will be held Saturday. The
call for the session was issued to
day, following a conference between
the heads or the political parties and
the government.

THE DALLES, Or., April 7. (Spe
cial. 3 One of the most notable gath
erings of Masons ever held in eastern
Oregon was the pilgrimage of Co
lumbia eommandory of Kniyhts Tem
plar of The Dalles on Sunday for
Easter day services at Moro, Or. A
special train of five cars chartered
by trie commandery left The Dalles on
Sunday at 1:15 P. M. for Moro. The

of Masons and t0oir wives and daugh
ters joined the oarty at Wasco.
The exercises in the opera-house at
Moro were particularly impressive
and inspiring. The sermon was de
livered by Dr. J. C. Ghormley of
Wasco, a prominent member of the
Knights Templar. The address of the
day wa3 delivered by E. G. Jones of
Portland, who was present as the spe
cial guest of Columbia commandery.
The keynote of his talk was the spirit
of American chivalry, and the practi
cal exemplification of this spirit in all
the teachings of Knights Templarism.
J. H. Richmond, grand hign priest of
the Royal Arch Masons of Oregon,
and T. H. West, vice-president of
Ladd & Tilton, Portland, and a high
Mason, were present as honored In
vited guests.
Orf the return trip to The Dalles a
stop was made at Wasco, where an
elaborate banquet was served to near
ly 600. The principal address of the
evening was delivered by F. V. Gallo

PEACE RESOUmON
N
Republican Leaders Decide to
Bring Matter to Vote.
POWER IS CHALLENGED
Representative Flood In Making
Minority Report Says Congress
Is Wltliont Authority.
WASHINGTON, April 7. Final de
termination was reached today by re
publican leaders In the house to bring
to a vote In that body late Friday the
resolution to declare the state of war
with Germany at an end. A special
rule reported today by the rules com
mittee provides for six hours' debate
Thursday and five hours Friday, after
which, opponents of the resolution
may offer, only a motion to recommit.
Completion of the minority report
of democratic members of the foreign
affairs committee on the resolution
precipitated the long debate. Repre
sentative Flood of Virginia, ranking
democrat 'of the committee, present
ing the minority report, challenged
the power of congress to bring the
war legally to an end and character
ized section five of the resolution as
"an attempt to preserve something
out of the wreck of American rights
which have been so outrageously sur
rendered in former sections of the
resolution."
RlKhis Held Impaired.
"From whatever angle this resolu
tion is viewed," he continued, "it pre
sents itself as a proposition not only
Ineffective in achieving its proclaimed
purpose, but as a sure method of con
fusing our foreign relations, inject
ing new and complicated questions
Into an already difficult situation and
involving a surrender of American
rights and an impairment of Ameri
can prestige and honor."
The minority report took particular
exception to the statement in the res
olutions' preamble that the president
had informed congress the war was
at an end.
"At no time and under no circum
stances has the president made any
such assertion," the report said. "It
is true that, on the signing of the
armistice the president, in an address
to congress, used the words 'the war
thU3 comes to an end.' But he spoke
of actual hostilities, as everyone
knew, and not of the technical state
of war. It takes a treaty to end a
war.
Authorities Are Cited.
"The drafters of the resolution and
the members of the committee on for
eign affairs who voted for it knew
that this was the case. By quoting
this Statement of the president as the
basis for this resolution the authors
of the resolution lay themselves open
to the charge of insincerity and
sharp practice.
"The supreme court recently' , de
clared 'that what the president had
done did not announce the. legal ter
mination of the war,' " the report de
clared, citing the decision In the Ken
tucky Distilleries cases.
Representative Flood asserted that
sections of the resolution restricting
trade with Germany or seeking to re
peal wartime legislation were within
the powers o congress but cited
many authorities to sustain his con
tention that "so far as it seeks to di
rect the president to issue a proclam
tion to the German government, it
entrenches npon the treaty-making
powers and is not within the power of
congress."
War Legislation Dlsennsrd.
War legislation affected by the
resolution discussed in the report said
that such an enactment would give
"no relief from the burdens, incon
veniences, extravagances and losses
which come from the existence of this
legislation."
. "Congress has power to repeal It
and should address itself to this in
stead of frittering away its time at
tempting to pass unconstitutional leg
islation for the purpose of embarrass
ing the executive department of the
government, or for some other polit
ical purpose," the report said.

lution requiring adherence by Ger

TROY, N.V. makers of (hilars flirts
of Versailles, the report declared:
"It is astonishing that the congress
should seriously consider the prop
osition that our country should seek
protection of a treaty which it has
not the courage to ratify. In its at

Declared Inconsistent.
"Under the treaty Germany can be
come a member of the league of na
tions, and having under this resolu
tion all the rights it would have had
under the treaty when It became a
member of the league of nations, it
would be entitled to assert against
the United States the same rights
which any other nation would have
been entitled to assert against this
government had our country ratified
the treaty. Thus we would be in the
position of being compelled to protect
the Independence and territorial in
tegrity of Germany against the ag
gressions of any or all our former al
lies. We would thus be extending to
Germany a protection and a right
which the leaders of the senate have
so violently proclaimed that we would
never extend to any nation on the
face of the earth.
" We have refused to enter Into any
such obligations with our allies, and
yet by this resolution, we propose to
give the benefits of those obligations
to Germany.' "
COLBY SAYINGS FLAUNTED

planned and coolly carried out. A
large automobile carrying three
picketers, who were Mary Galvin and
Kathleen McCune of Philadelphia and
Miss Kennedy of Brooklyn, parked in
front of the state department prompt
ly at 4 o'clock. Miss Mary Carroll,
another occupant of the machine,
rising In the front seat and posing
like a captain giving orders from
the bridge as his vessel clears for
action, directed her little party of
three to the work of the day. Miss
Carroll instructed them to walk
calmly up and down in front of the
state department, but to offer no re
slstence to any sort of attack upon
them or their banners.
"There must be no retaliation in
case of attack." she told them, the
object of this advice being that other
wise they would be subject imme
diately to arrest upon the grounds
that their presence had created dis
order. So long as they committed no
offense, she advised, they could go
about their business unmolested by
the authorities. They were Btill
picketing at a late hour and It was
said at the state department that,
so far as the department was con
cerned there would be no Interfer
ence. Srnsntt'in Is Crented.
The language of the banners, how
ever, created a rousing sensation be
cause there were many interested in
having Uncle Sam keep on good terms
with his neighbors, who had over
looked the mental outbreak of the
present diplomatic chief of the United
States against the British government
such a short time r.go as 116. Some
were amused while others read the
banners with real concern, remarking
that, certainly secretaries of state
should be picked with great care.
Perhaps no one will ever know
what Secretary Colby, inside the big
stone building was thinking, but no
one expressed doubt that he must
lave been wishing that he could think
about something else and possibly
was drawing a little lesson from what
was going on outside which might be
summed up in this moral: "If you are
engaged in politics, do not commit
yourself in too intense language on
any strongly controversial question.
because the time may come when your
own words-will rise to embarrass a
mind called to the duty of 'going wil
lingly along.' "
