MOUNTAIN OF CLAIMS MET
Sub-Committee Appointed to
Examine Many Documents.
DAY HAS FEW RESULTS
Seating of Two Regularly Report
ed Delegates From District of
Columbia Main Business.
CHICAGO, June 1. Another session
with little progress in actual results
marked the work of the republican
national committee today in Its course
of deciding; the claims of contesting
delegations.
The seating of two. regularly re
ported delegates from the District of
Columbia, said to be favorable to
Major-General Leonard Wood, and an
extended hearing of the Georgia con
test involving delegates pledged to
Wood and another group counted as
favorable to Low den, was the prin
cipal business.
The committee declined to reopen
its action of a year ago by which it
seated Emile Kuntz of New Orleans,
as national committeeman from
Louisiana. The appeal of Frank C.
Labit of New Iberia was denied.
Florida Contest BIsr One.
At the outset of today's session the
committee expected to hear the re
port of a sub-committee and close up
the three-cornered fight from Florida,
But the question of law and fact
turned out to be so voluminous that
the committee headed by Charles B.
Warren, of Detroit, reported that the
only conclusion it was prepared to
report was that the Florida delegates,
headed by A. L. Church of Jackson
ville, had no claim on which the com
mittee could act.
As to the contest between the regu
larly reported factions led by Na
tional Committeeman Bean and the
other headed by H. L. Anderson of
Jacksonville, the sub-committee rec
ommended a rehearing, which prob
ably will come tomorrow.
The committee then went into the
Georgia contest. Looked upon as the
first real test of political significance
and having a bearing on the strength
of the Wood or Lowden men, it drew
a large audience, including a large
number of southern negroes.
Oratory Grows Furlons.
The contest opened with a dash of
oratory and was continued with con
siderable fury, and at the end of four
hot hours 'the committee found itself
confronted with such a mass of con
flicting claims, arguments, charges
and counter-charges that it appointed
a sub-committee, headed by Mr.
Warren, to examine the documents
and report.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, an Atlanta
negro, heads the regularly reported
delegation, which is tjaid to be counted
in the Lowden column. The contest
ing delegation, known as the Pickett
faction, is pledged to General Wood.
The action of the committee means 17
seats for Wood or Lowden, and a de
cision is expected tomorrow. The
contest ranges about charges of a
bolt, but the national committee de
eided it would have towitudy the evi
dence to decide who bolted. Dupli
cate convention rolls and credentials
figured in the evidence.
The committee today made final its
decision to scat all the excess dele
gates on the convention floor in extra
spaces and to lot the excess alter
nates find scats amocg the spectators.
right Is Three-Cornered.
The Florida case. In which the com
mittee was called upon to decide
whether there was, in legal effect.
any republican party in Florida
promised In a sense to show the first
indications on the candidacies of
Major-General Leonard Wood, Gov
ernor Frank O. Lowden and Senator
Hiram Johnson.
None of the three contesting dele
gations is pledged, but the various
members say that the first or regu
larly reported delegation headed by
J National Committeeman Bean' of
Tampa is favorable to General Wood;
that the second delegation headed by
H. L. Anderson of Jacksonville Is
favorable to Senator Johnson, and
that the third headed by A. L. Church
of Jacksonville is favorable to the
candidacy of Governor Lowden.
North Carolina Asks Delay.
While a sub-committee was review
ing the evidence in the Georgia con
test, tho national committee passed
on to the Mississippi contests, where
two separate delegations have been
presented for the four delegates-at-large
and the eight districts.' .....
But North Carolina also asked for a
delay and the commintce passed to
tho question of alternates from Mon
tana. None are provided by the state
machinery, but eight were Certified
by the secretary of state.
The committee settled the Montana
case by seating the first eight -dele
gates who received the highest
votes and selecting the last eight del
egates as alternates. A similar tde-
cision was made as to Oregon.

Grain Exchanges Consider Plans
for Resumption of Trading
, In Future Deliveries.
WASHINGTON, June 1. Federal
control of wheat and wheat products
ended today, the wheat director ceas
ing to function under the limitation
of the law creating his office and the
food administration control ending
by proclamation of President Wilson.
This means the passing of the gov
ernment guarantee of $2.20 a bushel
for wheat. As eoon as some remain
ing contracts are carried out by the
United States grain corporation, that
body will turn over its finances to
the treasury department.
Licensing of dealers in wheat and
wheat products has been in the hands
of the wheat director and the food
administration and this automatically
ended today. Dealers without fixed
contracts are free to buy and sell
at such prices as conditions warrant.
CHICAGO. June i. Plans for re
sumption of trading future deliveries
of wheat will be considered here to
morrow at a meeting of representa
tives of the eight leading grain ex
changes in the country. Each ex
change will have two delegates pres
ent. Many important Phases are to
be discussed, and it may be several
days before any definite conclusions
are reached.
Until specific methods and safe
guards are decided upon and later
ratified by the various exchanges,
wheat trading will continue as of
late to be restricted to business in
volving only wheat available for im
mediate delivery.
GASOLINE TRUST DOUBTED
High Prices Due to Demand, Says
Federal Commission.
WASHINGTON, June 1. Recent ad
vances in the price of gasoline and
other petroleum products were as
cribed "more to varyinsr conditions
of supply and demand in the light of
emphatic and pessimistic statements
as to the future supply than to a com
bination in restraint of trade," by
the federal trade commission tonight
in a report to congress.
Strong demand is the primary cause
of the higher prices, the commission
said, adding that conditions in the
oil trade now appear to be creatly
improved with respect to production
and Imports.
The commission said it was unable
to say whether the prices of the re
fined products were "disproportion-
te" to advances in- crude oil prices.
and that it was likewise impossible
to report on the companies profits
for the current year, though in 1919
the profits of many of the large
oil companies were large."

WASHINGTON, June 1. Without a

Thirteen Democrats Join With Re
publicans In Final Vote Op

WASHINGTON, June 1. President
Wilson's plea for an American man
date over Armenia was rejected in the
senate today by a vote of more than
2 to 1.
Thirteen democrats 'cast their votes
with, the united republican member
ship on the final rollcall and the res
olution "respectfully declining" to
grant congressional authority for the
mandate was adopted, 62 to 23, in
the form drafted, by the republican
leaders. The resolution will be sent
to the house tomorrow and the leaders
there hope to adopt it without change
Thursday. They say they hope for as
decisive a majority as that in the
senate.
In the debate the democratic lead
ers counseled delay and tried ini vain
to put the decision over until the next
session. Scarcely a voice was raised
in out and out advocacy of accepting
the mandate and on motion to amend
the resolution so that the requested
authority be given, only 13 senators,
all democrats, voted in the affirma
tive. Recorded against .the motion
were 23 democrats and 39 republicans.
In their effort to ward off action,
which they argued was advisable be
cause of the peace treaty deadlock,
the minority leaders had better re
sults. The resolution to send the res
olution back to committee with in
structions that it be "reported after
the ratification of a peace treaty with
the cent'-U powere" mustered almost
solid democratic support, but was lost.

Method of Ratifying Amendments
Declared National Power, in
Unanimous Opinion.
WASHINGTON. June 1. The su
preme court in an unanimous opinion
today held that federal constitutional
amendments cannot be submitted to
popular vote for ratification by states
having referendum provisions in their
constitutions.
The method of ratifying amend
ments, the court held, is a national
power specifically granted by the
federal constitution, and the states,
have no authority to provide other
wise. In so holding, the court de
clared inoperative provisions of the
Ohio state constitution authorizing
submission of federal amendments to
a referendum for ratification, and
overturned state supreme court , de
crees dismissing Injunction proceed
ings in a taxpayer's suit to enjoin
submission of the prohibition and
woman suffrage amendments to a
referendum vote.
Next to the cases involving the va
lidity of the prohibition amendment
and the enforcement act, the Ohio
referendum cases were considered the
most important before the supreme
court. The decision does not affect
the pen'aig prohibition cases.
The court's decision, however, puts
an end to any controversy as to
whether Ohio has ratified both
amendments and puts Ohio definitely
in the list of states approving both
amendments.

WASHINGTON. June 1. .(By the
Associated Press.) Checks aggre
gating S40.000 sent into Missouri by
the managers of Governor Lowden's
campaign, were presented today to
the senate committee .investigating
the pre-convention expenditures of
presidential candidates.
While most of the day was devoted
by the committee to questioning wit
nesses as to the expenditure of sums
covered by the checks, primary con
tests in other states were touched
upon.
In its inquiry into the Lowden
campaign in Missouri, the committee
questioned Nat Goldstein and Robert
E. Moore, delegates to the republican
national convention from Missouri,
Who testified that they each had re
ceived a check for S2500 from the
Lowden campaign fund. Both said
the money still was held to their
account in banks and would be re
turned, unless Governor Lowden were
nominated, in which event it would
be used in the "campaign.
MlMaonrt Committeeman Qaizr.ed.
J. B. Babler, national committee
man from Missouri, whom Goldstein
and Moore designated as the one who
transmitted the checks to them from
L. L. Emerson, Lowden campaign
manager, also was questioned by the
committee. E. L. Morse, head of the
Lowiien Mioouri organization outside
of St. Louis, testified that he had
received by check from Mr. Emerson
approximately $32,000 and expended
It in "getting out the workers."
Babler got $17,000 of these funds, he
said, to reimburse him for similar ex
penditures. Both Moore and Goldstein said they
had declared no money was necessary
in their congressional districts. Moore
said Babler had told him "Aw, go
ahead and take it," when he had hesi
tated about accepting a check from
Emerson.
Babler Pressed on Point.
Babler was pressed on this point
by Chairman Kenyon when he ap
peared later.
"Was it a pretty hard job to get
Moore and Goldstein to take the
money?" the senator asked.
Well, T was very anxious about
the St. Louis situation, Babler re
plied. "I wanted to tic them up and
urged Emerson to assist in any way
necessary to get their active support.
Morse and Babler gave from mem
ory lists of state "workers'" to whom
they had distributed the money re
ceived from Emerson. Tho amounts
ranged as a rule from $100 to $300, but
n some instances exceeded $1000.
Morse said three men on lists were
national delegates, including William
E. Cole, who is a delesate-at-large.
The witness said he had given Cole
$i00 for "headquarters" purposes.
Cole Declared for Lowden.
Senator Kenyon promptly called at
tention to the fact that previous testi
mony before the committee showed
Cole had received $1250 to "sound out"
sentiment for Harding. Morse and
Babler said they had understood Cole
was for Lowden. with Senator Hard
ing, "perhaps as a second choice.
Here is a delegate-at-Iarge with
$1250 Harding money and $500 Low
den money," said Senator Kenyon.
Who is third choice?
Additional Information as to the
Wood campaign in Michigan was pre
sented by Fred A. Alger of Detroit,
who said he had personally contrib
uted $50,000 of the $54,000 Wood fund
raised and expended in the state and
already In tho committee's records.
He had also expended personally, he
added. $22,000 or $25,000.
"I was proud to do it. I would do
it again."
Johnson Personally Favored.
One feature of the Missouri situa
tion which drew the attention of com
mittee members particularly was the
statements of Morse and Babler tbat
when the Lowden project was' first
mentioned to them, they believed too
sentiment had "crystalized for Lew
den in Missouri." Both said they had
personally favored the candidacy of
Senator jonnson oi California "as
long as he had a! chance." Babler
added that In December or January
of this year when tho Lowden, matter
was taken up, he did not believe
Johnson "had a ghost of a chance,'
which -influenced bis action.
Robert F. Wolfe, publisher of the
Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch and the
Ohio State Journal, testified that his
papers "had taken an active part" in
tho recent Ohio primary contest be
tween Major-General Leonard Wood
and Senator Harding of that state.
"Politics in our state, he said, "is
In the hands of an inside coterie of

Watchman Held Up at Point 61
Rifle and Catch. Removed by
Men in Launch.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 1. (Spe
cial.) Coming like a challenge to the
American government, the fish pi
rates of southeastern Alaska, includ
ing many of the most desperate char
acters in Pacific waters, have re
sumed their armed night raids in the
fish traps of tho salmon canning com
panies, this year's warfare beginning
with a sudden descent on one of the
traps of the Hawk Inlet plant owned
by P. E. Harris and company of Se
attle. News that the pirates are operating
again, despite the presence of sub
marine chasers In southeastern Alas
ka waters, was received in Seattle
this morning.
Near the end of last month one of
tho piratical launches slipped up to
trap number 3 of the Harris plant in
Hawk Inlet at 1:30 o'clock in the
morning, with two men aboard, both
armed with rifles. They held up the
watchman, stole all the salmon em-
pounded in the trap then fled in their
launch. Several other raids have
followed.
Hawk Inlet is in the Icy strait dis
trict and the boldness of the raid is
shown by the fact that a submarine
chaser was patrolling these waters
at tho time. P. E. Harris, head of the
Harris company, who was in Hawk
Inlet, telegraphed the governor's of
fice in Juneau.
BOY, 13, FORGERY SUSPECT
Lad Declared to Have Left Trait
or Bad Checks.

S87 Corbett street. to two checks,
which he is alleged to have cashed
at the Ladd & Tilton bank. The boy
met Mrs. Parry while he was an in
mate in the home.
The lad is also alleged to have
passed a check at the Multnomah
hotel, and two more in Seattle, Wash.,
where his parents live. He was sent
to the county jail and will be tried
til the juvenile court. The Seattle
authorities have asked for his return
to that city.

VICE-PRESIDENT IS ROILED
Shout in House or "Throw Them
' Out' Is Answered by Veil That
Job Is Too Bis for All.
WASHINGTON. Juno 1. Both the
senate and the house were thrown
into an uproar today by an outburst
of women sympathizers with Irish
freedom.
There were evidently two parties to
the demonstration, which started
first in the senate during delivery of
a speech by Senator Brandegee. re
publican, Connecticut, opposing ac
ceptance of a mandate over Armenia.
Later a woman eluded guards at the
house door and with friends In the
gallery shouted a challenge to mem-"
bers to deny their appeal in behalf
of Ireland.
The women, answering a demand
from the floor that they be thrown
out and locked up, defied the entire
house to attempt it. and as guards
started after them they raced around
the gallery, creating great disorder
until, they finally were subdued and
ejected.
Offenders Permitted to Go.
Although the offenders were) es
corted to the Capitol guardroom, no
charges were lodged against them
and they were permitted to go.
A woman's shrill voice from the
gallery, breaking suddenly the pro
verbial dignity of the senate just
after Senator Prandegee had referred
to "the ravishes of the Hun," startled
senators and attendants alike. As
tho woman shouted, "why not eject
the English Hun from Ireland?" gal
lery guards made a rush in her di
rection, while the strident command
from Vice-president Marshall to "put
her out" led Instantly to heckling
from other parts of the gallery.
For a moment a whirlwind of ques
tions swept down from the galleries
while the vice-president, laying aside
his gavel, shouted sharp, peremptory
orders to the attendants to remove
the women. Order finally was re

ling was "wholly without authority
and without the knowledge of any re
sponsible officer or representatives
of the national council of the Friends
of Irish Freedom or associated or
