AT SEA-OVER RAGE
FOR PRESIDENCY
By Robert J. Bender
Caitad lwt Staff Conwpoadaat
New York, April 19. -In lew than
eight weeks from this date the coun
try will know who Is the Republican
nominee for president, but so In
volved Is the situation today that
none, of the political leaders will
venture a definite prediction as to
who the convention will nominate.
According to all Indications General
Wood will ge to the convention with
the most pledged and friendly delegates
but far from the 493 votes needed to
win. Senator Johnson and Governor
lowden will probably have a Close fight
"for second and third places, with Hard
ing, Coolidge and Polndexter trailing.
PREDICTION MADE DIFFICULT
The next four weeks will show many
things, but the significant contests, those
in Nebraska. New Jersey. Indiana, Cali
fornia and Ohio, will do llttlmore than
test the relative strength of Wood, John
on and Lowden with the people, and
from all Indications will not help those
attempting to predict who the nominee
at Chiesgo will be.
For Johnson is expected to beat Wood
In Nebraska. Harding is expected to beat
Wood In Ohio. Johnson la, expected to
beat Hoover in California, making Of
Hoover a "dark horse" at best rather
than a foremost contender for the nomi
nation. Indiana is expected to return a
majority for no candidate,' thus naming
an uninstructed delegation under con
trol of Senator James Watson, who, of
course, will oppose Wood, and New Jer
sey appears likely to return Wood a
winner, though Johnson is putting up a
hard fight for the state.
JOHNSOF VS. WOOD
When all of these returns are in, If
they follow predictions, the result may
be taken to Indicate that Johnson is
eating Into Wood's support and must be
considered as a candidate of almost equal
potentiality with the general at Chicago.
On the other hand. If Wood reverses the
"dope and wtns In Nebraska and Indi
ana, It will be a very difficult matter
for' the eld party leaders to shelve him.
For shelving Wood is one Of the fore
most objectives of the "old guard" sur
I, v Ivors when they gather together their
board of strategy these days., and
they feel that Wood himself has helped
, them materially in the work.
They "point with pride" to the appar
ent fact that Wood's campaign has been
such as to prevent his getting the second
choice votes of the 26 California dele
. gates If they are controlled by Hiram
.Johnson, the 30 delegates from Indiana,
to be controlled by Senator Watson, the
71 1 Pennsylvania delegates controlled by
Governor Sproul and Senator Penrose,
' . the eight delegates controlled by Senator
Borah of Idaho, and those Ohio and Illi
nois delegates who will be last ditch men
. nnder Senator Harding and Governor
Lowden respectively.
This la a total of approximately 200
delegates, whose votes will be needed for
any candidate to win. ,
DAI HOUSE FACTOR
A canvass of the Republican "bosses"
indicates they are still of the opinion
that Governor Lowden or Senator Hard
ing would be the "most satisfactory nom
inee," that Senator Johnson would be
preferable to General Wood, so far as
. theyare conoerned, but that events con
tinue -to shape' themselves toward the
nomination of a' dark horse.
' One thing, however, they admit. And
' that la that Johnson's popularity with
- i the people as indicated in his Michigan
and IlMnols votes if reasserted In Ne-
breaks, Indiana, New Jersey and Call-:
fernla, will give him tremendous power
at the convention. And being an experi
enced politician, long trained in the ways
of conducting successful political fights,
Johnson will know how to wield his bal
ance of power, if It amounts to that, at
Chicago with telling effect.
If It comes, therefore, to the question
of selecting a "dark horse," Hoover may
. be eliminated from Johnson's considera
- tion at the outaeju He would be for
Borah, of course, unless or until the
. Idaho senator was eliminated.
WOULD SUPPORT ALLEX
Hs would be expected to support Gov
ernor Henry Allen of Kansas, should the
"latter find himself the center of a dark
horse movement. In fact Johnson was
quoted recently by a friend as saying
that he would rather have Allen's
chances for the nomination than those
'. i': of any other man today.
To get over-on the more conservative
vMe ef the picture, the friendship be
. tween Johnson and Senator Knox of
. Pennsylvania has been such as to bring
. the latter Into "dark horse" figuring. It
Is believed by the "old guarders" that

NEBRASKA FIGHT IX TEBESTIXG
Tremendous Interest centers in the Ne
braska primaries Tuesday where John
son. Wood and General Pershing are
fighting It out for first choice. The re
sults will develop whether Pershing Is
really to figure prominently at Chicago.
Governor Lowden is not entered.
The Democrats are to stage a. show of
their own both in Nebraska and Geor
gia Tuesday. In Nebraska the fight is
between Senator Hitchcock for W. J.
Bryan for control of delegates. In Geor

the first test of his popularity with the
voters since his Michigan debacle.
Georgia Is W. G. McAdoo's state. And,
In addition to McAdoo's friends, who are
expected to be active at the polls, Pafkner
is fighting Senator Hoke Smith's Cam

PARTY 8TAGE STARS MEET
AT ClflCAGO TO "TUNE UP"
By Alexander F Joaes
United News Staff Correspondent
Chicago, April ,19. The state man
agers, scene shifters and lmpressarios of
the Republican and Democratic parties
gathered here today to oil the machin
ery for proscenium ascent at the Chicago
and San Francisco conventions in June.
Chairman Will H. Hays of the Repub
lican national committee, staked out his
headquarters at one hotel and Chair
man Homer Cummlngs of the Demo
cratic national committee went "on lo
cation" in another.
Hays cheerfully reported that "things
look wonderfully well."
Cummlngs optimistically reported that
"everything is rosy."
Both wore happy smiles. When it was
respectfully suggested that one or the
other was riding for a fall, both made
haste to reassure that it would not be
him.
BIG. SCRAMBLE 05
The committees on arrangements of
both parties will spend two or three
days picking assistant sergeants-at-arms
out of an estimated' 100,000 appli
cations ; make sure that police protec
tion is sufficient for the expected jam at
both conventions, and otherwise do yeo
man duty in seeing that the difficult
Job -of picking a president for these
United States is accomplished in orderly
fashion. ,
Then the Republican national commit
tee will have nearly a solid week of
hearings on the contests that are . being
filed from the Southern slates. Com
mitteemen say that the outlook is radi
ant, that there will be as many of these
.tangles to' unsnarl this year as in 1912
The threatened scramble in Tennessee
was smoothed over last week without
bloodshed and that delegation comes to
the Chicago convention practically solid
for General Wood.
CONTESTS ABE NCMEBOtTS
Contests have been filed for the en
tire state delegations in Georgia and
Florida and there is a contest on at
least a dozen Louisana delegates. The
Mississippi delegation is to be contested
in its entirety and a "pretender" dele
gation Is due from South Carolina. Two
districts in Oklahoma have added no
gaiety to the life of the commutes by
entering a., tough knot to cut and the
tenth district in Minnesota is expected to
offer another hard battle.
Chairman Cummlngs will sound the
Democratic "keynote" In a speech here
Tuesday before the Iroquois club, ac
oording to the official forecast.
THREE-COUNTERED FIGHT LV
NEBRASKA ENDS TUESDAY
Lincoln. Neb., April 19. (U. P.) The
three-cornered Republican presidential
fight in the preferential primaries to
morrow promises to be hotly contested.
General Leonard Wood, Senator Hiram
Johnson and General John J. Pershing
are on the ballot asking that the 16 dele
gates t'o the Republican national conven
tion b pledged to vote in their favor.
Johnson has been active, speaking over
a large portion of the state. Wood took
a one day whirl over the eastern part of
Nebraska, making speeches at" Lincoln
and Omaha. White Pershing has not
visited the state in his own behalf, his
backers have not been Idle. An extend
ed advertising campaign has been carried
out in the American military command
er's interest and a number of Nebras
kans have taken the stump in the ab
sence of their "favorite son."
On the Democratic side Senator G. M.
Hitchcock is almost certain to win the
16 Democratic delegates to the San
Francisco convention. He Is opposed by
only one opponent Robert Ross of Lex
ington, Neb., who is expected to cut lit
tle figure. i
Nebraska's delegates to both national
conventions are pledged to abide by the
decision of the preferential vote.
W. J. Bryan's fight to be named dele
gate at Jarge to the Democratic conven
tion Is arousing almost as much interest
as the presidential contest. Pledged not
to vote for Hitchcock at the convention,
if elected, Bryan's stumping speeches
HAROLD HOWELL TO
GO ON TRIAL
TIME EARLY IN MAY
Marshfield. April 19. Harold Howell,
16-year-old Bandon boy charged with
the murder of Lillian Leuthold last July,
will be tried for the third time next
month. Judge John S. Coke has set May
6 definitely as the date for the trial.
The case was put oft several times on
account of court not convening during
the Influenza epidemic and the judge did
not want to start it until it could be
carried through without Interruption.
At the two previous trials the Jury in
each case disagreed. The case will be
more bitterly fought this time. District
Attorney John F. Hall was assisted be
fore by Attorney A. J. Sherwood, but
the latter has withdrawn from the case.
At Bandon a fund has been raised by
friends of the murdered girl's family to
hire a lawyer to help in the prosecu
tion. It is likely that L. A. Liljeqvist, for
mer district attorney of Coos county.
now residing in Portland, may be em
ployed. For the defense C. F. McKnight and
John C. Kendall will appear Kr the
Howell boy and John D. Goss. law part
ner of Kendall, will be associated. At
Portland a fund was raised by the Ore
gon Prisoners' Aid society and others
and ft is understood here that the fund
is to be used to employ a Portland at
torney to help in the defense.
It is anticipated that a week will be
taken up securing a jury, as scarcely a
person in the county is not to some ex
tent familiar with the case. Testimony
will probably consume 10 days.
All other Jury trials In this term of
the Coos court have been disposed of
and Judge Coke will hold the Curry
court the last week of April.
A few men of the original jury panel
will be held but it is expected that spe
cial venires will be necessary.
The Howell boy has been confined in
the county Jail eight months. He has
kept up his spirits remarkably well but
is showing signs of the long confinement
and lack of exercise.
Members of the North Bend Chamber
of Commerce are campaigning in favor
of the project for improving the Pony
Inlet district of the city. A special elec
tion will be held April 26, when the
people will vote on the proposition to
bond the city for J400.000 to buy a large
amount of the mud flats along the inlet,
dredge the channel so that it will ad
mit ocean going boats and fill the low
lands with the dredgings. Factory sites
along deep water would thus be pro
vided. Recent reports, which proved to" be
unfounded, that Lloyd Lewis had been
seen at Port Orford. led to a renewal
of the search for the missing Coos county
young man for whom his relatives have
been hunting up and down the coast
Kiwanis Will Plan

National Convention
Entertainment plans for the national
Kiwanis' convention which will be. held

"The club members have made a won
derful record by subscribing $5000 to
the convention fund and the balance to
make up the budget of $15,000 is well in
hand. '
"Other clubs and civic bodies, such
as Rotary, Ad club. Progressive .Busi
ness Men and Musicians' club, have prof
fered their assistance and it is up to us
to assign some specific work for them
to perform where they can be of the
most assistance to us.
"We need good, consistent coopera
tive work from now until after the con
vention from every member of the Port
land Kiwanis club. If you have a good
idea for any feature of the convention,
let the membership have the benefit
of it"

(Continued from Paa One)
Involved problems disturbing the peace
of Europe, the equal Of which have not
been presented to any conference since
the Versailles treaty was drawn.
France regards It as a test of whether
the entente is to be preserved solidly in
enforcing the peace treaty as it stood in
waging war. The Russian problem will
again play a prominent part In the af
fairs of the entente, and, in a. word, the
entire program for the future relations
of the allied nations among themselves,
as well as toward Germany, may be
written.
WILL FBAJ1E ULTIMATUM
It is authoritatively stated that the
first question to be taken up will be
In connection with events in Germany.
First, an agreement will be reached
on an ultimatum to Germany which will
demand disarmament In accordance with
the terms of the Versailles treaty, with
drawal from the Ruhr and demobiliza
tion of reichswehr to a point in keeping
with the treaty provisions. The ultima
tum will also demand compliance with
the economic phases of the treaty. An
economic blockade will be threatened
unless the terms of the ultimatum are
complied with.
The second problem to be taken up
will be that of coordinating the inter
national dealings of the entente, as af
fecting former enemy powers, except as
such dealings may relate to economic af
fairs. The other subjects to be taken
up In order follow:
Third The compromise reached be
tween Premier Nitti of Italy and Pasitch
of the Jugoslavs regarding the Adri
atic, and finally approving the settle
ment, subject to acceptance by the Serb
ian and Italian governments.
Fourth Russia. An effort will be
made to reach a common basis of agree
ment as to Russia.- This may result in
permitting reestablishment of diplomatic
as well as trade relations regardless of
whether the Bolsheviks remain In power.

Nitti and Venlzelos of Greece. In addi
tion, foreign , ministers of England,
France, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Serbia
and a score of ambassadors, military and
economic experts will be at hand for

There are persistent rumors In diplo

Establishment of an Armenian repub

financiers and Italian interests are in
sisting that the best means of re-establishment
of the Near East is through se
curing the pre-war status of Turkey,
except Mesopotamia. Cilicla and Thrace.
The Danzig experiment of international

the Poles being satisfied.
As for Russia, Premier Nitti is de
clared to be determined to force. recog

is unalterably opposed to such a propo

situation holds dramatic possibilities, and
It would not be surprising to see the
conference adjourn, with each nation

insofar as economic questions are con
cerned, merely maintaining loose mili

each going ahead for itself.
ALL WILSON'S PRINCIPLES
VIOLATED, DECLARES TURK
By Camlllo Claafarra
San Remo. Italy, April 18. (Night)
(U. P.) "Every one of President Wil
son's principles has been violated" in
the allies' treaty of peace with Turkey,
Chalib Kemaly Bey, member of the
Turkish armistice commission, and for
mer ambassador to Berlin, said in an in
terview here tonight Asked whether
the terms of the treaty had been com
municated to him, the Turkish repre
sentative said :
"Not officially. Probably the peace
conferees consider that action super
fluous. .The world, however, will be sur
prised to hear them. Every one of Pres
ident Wilson's principles has been vio
lated. "The treaty is essentially a British
product It aims to surround Turkey,
cutting the communicationa of the Mos
lem world.
"But what use is talkT Our fate was
decided In London. The whole world
Is prejudiced against Turkey. We are
accused of every indignity under the
sun, from radical degeneration to
bloody hatred of Christiana We are
called "barbarians' for our alleged mis
government "The whole world knows Turkey mas
sacres Armenian Christians, but nobody
reads the results of the Carnegie Inves
tigation, charging Serbians, 'Bulgarians
and Greeks with massacreing hundreds
of thousands of Mohammedans in
Epirus, Thrace and Macedonia during
the Balkan war.
"Nobody wants to believe the official
reports of the Russian general staff
charging the Armenians with killing
400.000 Turks."
. Kemaly pointed out that Turkey has
seldom been at peace during the last
150 years, Russia 'alone having made
war on her 14 times during that perioid.
The allies,, he believed, have an oppor
tunity to step in and replace Germany.
"In the name of justice, honesty, fair
play and tbe peace of the world, I hope
the peace conference will bear me," Bey
said. -
Turkey demands national frontiers,
comprising Western Thrace,, following
the preselnt armistice lines. Tor Meso
potamia and the Hedjas we want plebi
cite as accorded the disputed regions
in Europe. Should these plebiscites be
favorable, Turkey wants to make a fed
eration of theM states."
Kemaly was particularly angry over
President Wilson's . principle that the
Turk be expelled from Constantinople.
"We never will surreneder ConstaatiSu
aople or Smyrna. That's settled."

JUDGES, POLICK AND CHORUS
GIRL JOIN OVERALL ARMY
(By United News)
New York, April 19 Started as a i
publicity "stunt" by the press agents of
the Broadway Cheese club, the back to
overalls fad in -New York today has
outgrown its original design, spreading
to the court benches, the class rooms
of exclusive schools, the Y. M. C. A, the
Y. W. C. A., municipal offices and even
jails.
The prettiest things in overalls yet
seen here emerged single file from the
stage door of the Capitol theatre, 20 In
number, and strolled down Broadway,
picking up scores of new followers every
block of the way.
They wore the regular old-fashioned
kind, without any silken frills, but each
dainty coiffure was crowned with a
wide brimmed hat composed of ribbons,
cherries and stuffed birds, resembling
Long Island ducklings. t
DEMONSTRATION MAKF.S HIT
This demonstration probably attracted
more attention to the occupants of the
overalls and to the overall craze itself
than any otber single enterprise yet
Undertaken in connection with the local
swatting- of clothes profiteering.
On returning to the theatre the girls
were followed by a man wearing over
all trousers and jumper, fedora hat,
chamois gloves, silk socks, snakewood
stick and a blue denim overall dress.
Judge J. Humphrey of the Queens
county court. Police Magistrate Thomas
F. Boyle of the Long Island city court
and Borough ; President Connelly of the
borough of Queens, as well as the de
partment heads working under him, de
cided to start wearine overalls on the
bench or in their offices, beginnij

WOMEN TO JOIN IN
Chief Enginer Charles U. Powell and
Sheriff William X. George, will recom
mend to all their subordinates the
adoption of overalls as the uniform of
rebellion against clothing profiteers.
The young women in tbe borough hall
of Queens will come to work in ging
ham dresses. Holy Cross Lyceum will
urge Its 600 members to wear overalls.
It was too much to expect that the
Broadway cafes would pass up such an
opportunity as the overall fad presents
to "do something nifty" in the propa
ganda line. So the Saturday night sun
dodgers at ReisenweberB at Columbus
circle were met at the door by head
waiters In overalls, turned over to
waiter captains In overalls and escorted
to their chairs where their orders were
taken and served by waiters in the once
despised blue denim of the workshop.

Sacramento, Cal., April l9. (I. N. S.)
The overall army today invaded the
state capital. More than 150 employes
and officials representing every branch
of the state government, from the gov

trol the grounds, appeared on the job
this morning clad in overalls. Women
employes wore gingham dressfs.
Mayor Brown is expected to issue a
proclamation this morning calling on
all citizens to wear denims and ging

village and farm" he was accompanied
by a cavalry escort, and patriotic ex
ercises were held at every community.
Meanwhile a forgotten character in
history came to light Captain Fred
Hunneman impersonated William Dawes,
who shared with Paul Revere the dar
ing and dangerous enterprise of warn
ing the farmers of the coming of the
British red coats. Dawes was sent from
North Square to Lexington via Roxbury,
Brookline and Cambridge. Hunneman
followed that route today. Celebrations
were held en route. At Harvard the re

at Concord fired the shot heard around
the world."

sporting events made up the Patriots'
day holiday program in other sections
of the state.
