"WASHINGTON, D. C, May 27. (Special.) Let there be no doubt that there la a Chang In American poli tics as a result of the success of Bev eridge In Indiana, and even more fcon splcuously as a result of Pinchot's success In Pennsylvania. That Pennsylvania result was noth ing; short of a political revolution, and its results are easily apparent both to politicians and the public. One result of it, out of which you can get a smile If you don't take politics too seriously, has been the stirring up of opposition to various stand-pat republican senators and representa tives who thought themselves secure. A representative or senator who regarded the political weather in his own district as perfectly fair, with everything going smoothly and no trouble In Eight, Is now gravely dis turbed on receiving telegrams from his home district announcing that some ambitious outsider, seeing what Beveridge accomplished in Indiana and what Pinchot did In Pennsyl vania, has determined to throw his own hat into the local ring. Congressmen Much Disturbed. To the congressman concerned it is most disturbing. He thinks that to rumple up a perfectly smooth sea In this manner Is little short of dis gusting. A congressman .who 'counted on getting hlB renomtnation and his re-election with no substantial oppo sition, and who counted on giving bis district the spectacle of remaining here at Washington hard at work on1 the tariff, now finds himself obliged to go back home and make a fight against some venturesome upstart whose head has been stirred with lawless ambition over the spectacle of what Glfford Pinchot did to the ma chine In Pennsylvania. All this is amusing and Interesting and in some cases it may result in the Induction of able outsiders into public life. Unhappily It is also true that In other cases it merely results In encouragement to fly-by-night op portunists with no particular ability and no definite convictions one way or the other, who merely see in the atate of public mind an opportunity to ride into publio life on the wave of Ihe discontent made manifest In Indi ana and Pennsylvania. Third Party Talk Beard. Another result has been a good deal of loose talk about a third party, to be led by the old progressive leaders. That is about as Impossible as any thing Imaginable. Most of the old progressive leaders have had experi ence enough with third parties. There Is nothing in current American poli tics less probable than a third party under the leadership of the old pro gressives. But while there won't be any third party, 1( is quite certain that there will be a contest for dominance in the republican party between the two wings described as stand-pat and pro gressive. It is equally certain that the progressives will win it. The progressives will win It because the present leadership of the republican party, in the person of President Harding and others, won't offer any stubborn opposition to the triumph (Concluded on Page 5.

Committee Finds No Evi dence of Dishonesty. EXCESS COST IS $10,070 Hawthorne-Buckman Charge Under Fire. DISTRICT TO PAY HALF Knotty Problems Are Referred to Attorney for Directors for Opinion. Questionable items connected with the construction of the. Hawthorne Buckman achool building by the firm of Parker & Banfield were scrutinized last night by the special board com mittee appointed for this purpose, composed of W. F. Woodward and Frank L. Shull, directors. It was said for the committee that it found nothing Indicative of dis honest intent either in cost items already given publicity or In the way of newly discovered items. The facts pertaining to the double payment of the euro of J2464.J58 charged for extra excavation work necessitated by the nature of the soil encountered were carefully sifted. The Item was first paid January 9 as part of the firm's general hill of the month for payroll and materials and was paid a second time February 6 as a special item. ' Clerk Notices Mistake. It was found that R. H. Thomas, school clerk, deserved: credit for hav-i lng called attention of C. J. Parker, member of the contracting firm, to the double payment March 2f. A credit memorandum -for the amount reached the hands of Captain G. S. Edmondstone, whose department had supervision over construction work, on March ?8 and was submitted by him to Clerk Thomas in a letters on April 3. , The investigation was eaid to have disclosed that the contractors had re ceived cash discounts amounting to between. $250 and $300 on materials; purchased, but had received from the school treasury the full amounts of these bills. There has been no Con cealment of the discounts, as shown by the audit of the contractors' books by J. F. Robertson of Clerk Thomas' force. Instead, the contractors hold that inasmuch as they obtained the discounts by paying cash, perhaps borrowing funds at times to do this, they are entitled "to the discounts Strict interpretation of terms of the contract .would seem to necessitate division of this saving with the school district, it was said. Wrong Classification Found. The audit showed that certain small items, such as lanterns, kerosene, rope, cartage, etc., where ruled to be "tools" should be charged to the con tractors exclusively, and where class ing as "materials" constitute a charge against the district. Items to a value of about: $23 had been permitted, a wrong classification by Captain Ed mondstone's department, it was said, and the contractors had allowed de duction accordingly in settlements ef fected. . - It was shown that in the matter of a hardwood floor of the new build ing, laid on concrete foundation without waterproofing as required by the specifications, the firm is now relaying the floor at its own cost. It may submit claim for the amount, however, on the ground that Edmond stone's assistant gave approval to the original method of its construction. Attorney to Decide. Three questions which evolved at the investigation last night are to be referred to Sam H. Pierce, deputy district attorney, who serves as at torney for the school board, for rul ings.

The soldiers tried to free them selves, whereupon the assailants fired four shots. One of the bullets en tered the poatoffice and wounded a woman and a child. It was stated that' the soldiers had cashed a check at a bank nearby be fore going to the postoffice and rob bery was believed to have been the motive. Ex-Sergeant Shot Dead. James Greer, an ex-sergeant in the Royal Irish Constabulary, 'was taken from his house in Cootehall, County Roscommin early today and shot dead. His son, who was a demobilized black and tan, was mortally wounded. , Seventeen fires were started In the campaign of incendiarism waged throughout Belfast last night. Six fire bombs were used in starting the blaze that destroyed the model school. A. constable was shot in the leg while on duty at a fire.

TO h(5 nfeOUT f& QUEIOM TO (CJ Spouse of Young Washington Man Declared to Be Modern Fem- inine Simon Legree. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 27. (Special.) That, his wife is a modern feminine Simon Legree who flogged him with a big whip when he balked at washing dishes or other menial tasks and then used the butt of the whip on him, was the intimation of Elmer V. Leukhardt, 22-year-old J23 a week chauffeur, who filed, a cross bill for a limited divorce today in equity court from Mrs. Marie M Leukhardt, his 32-year-old spouse and tie mother of three children by a former marriage. The husband, who said that he was a mere youth and alone In a big city when he first met the woman who became his wife on Pennsylvania avenue in March, 1921, when he was but 19 years old and unsophisticated, also declared she had reduced him to a state of "absolute slavery." He denied practically all the allegations in her bill for main tenance. He asserted he was compelled, to wash the dishes and clean the house, and was cursed as a reward for his' trouble. On occasions, he' said, when he did not promptly do what she ordered him to do, she would assault him. scratching his face and tearing his clothing, and otherwise abuse and curse him in the most humilitating manner. On one occasion, he alleged, March 13 last, she attacked him with a heavy whip, "beating him in a most cruel manner, he at the time being clad only In a thin undergarment, knocking him unconscious with the heavy end of the whip so that he did not recover consciousness for two hours afterward." Mrs. Leukhardt is the owner of the premises at 1532 E street southeast. She charged her youthful husband with numerous acts of cruelty and demanded permanent maintenance and an ordr of the court to restrain him from interfering with her or molesting her. The husband asserted that he only had $2 a week left from his salary, the balance going to his wife. The allegations in his bill tend to show that he was enticed into the mar riage. He declared he was forced to toil from early in the morning until late at night and received only abuse for his efforts BERRIANS TO BRING FLOAT Newberg Organization to Be Repre sented in Festival Parade.

WL 'wk -l"' I I Committee of 8 Is Ac cepted by One Side. LABOR INSISTS ON FOUR Ship Withdrawal Threat Held Up Till Wednesday. TELEGRAM IS RECEIVED Order Not lo Be Enforced Until Mid-Week Solution Near Once During Day. The Waterfront Employers' asso ciation yesterday seized on what ap peared to be a means to the solution of the longshore strike in a para graph contained in an official state ment of the Oregon state board of conciliation, providing for a commit tee of eight to assume control -of the hiring method. The employers' union yesterday announced acceptance of the plan, but It was rejected by the longshoremen's union, which Insisted on a committee of four, made up of union men and employers, as set up In the original findings of the state board. That, in brief, was what happened In the strike situation yesterday, but in reality It was one of the most tense days since the walkout began five weeks ago today. The day opened with prospects for a settlement as rosy as the sun Itself, but in a few hours the factions had backed away again. Withdrawn! Order Held l'p. One event was the announcement by the shipping board that its threat that steamers asigned to the Columbia Pa cific Shipping company would be withdrawn unless the company obeyed the orders of the board as to the em ployment of union men would not be enforced until Wednesday. On behalf of the Waterfront Em ployers' union It was asserted that the state board's reference to the com mittee of eight, to ba made up two members from the Waterfrot Employers' union, two from the lonp- shoromin s union, two nonunon workers and two nonunion emplojf?T had not been suggested to themiby the board and that the first they knew of it was through the publica tion of an official statement from the board in The Oregonian yesterday. A committee of eight had been pro posed by the employers, but to be made up of four employers and two representing the union longshoremen and two representing nonunion men at present employed, which was re jected. Meeting Called Hurriedly. A hurriedly-called meeting of the waterfront employers resulted in a committee, made up of Otto Ketten bach, Major V. A. Cartwrtght and W. D. Wells, being sent to confirm the expression of the board, and after meeting with W. F. Woodward, chair man, continued to the office of F. W. Relyea of the operating division of the shipping board, there meeting Otto Hartwig, also of the state board, and a committee from the longshore men's union. A discussion of the pro posal was terminated by the refusal of the longshoremen. . They expressed themselves as ready to abide by the original findings of the board for a committee of four with equal repre sentation, which the employers have refused to consider and insist on non union men being accorded represen tation. Employers Meet Tomorrow. I So the status as between the men on strike and the employers was un changed last night. The employers are to gather in general session to morrow to review the situation once more, but it has not been Indicated that any form of settlement will (Concluded on Page 5. Column 3.) 1
