"Peerless One' Demands Free Wool Clark and Underwood Opposed to So Drastic Revision.

DECLARES LEADERS ARE "ALDRICHIZED" Speaker's Stand Precludes Probability of Presidential Indorsement by the Great Commoner. Y SIDNEY ESPY. Washington, June 10. A sensation- ' si and apparently Irreparable breach baa occurred between William Jennings Bryan and the leaders of the Democratic house. The tariff on wool li the disturbing factor, and because of the disagreement over this Champ Clark may lose the indorsement of the "Peerless Leader" when he comes to seek the presidential nomination. - Bryan haa practically demanded that the Democratic house declare for free wool. The leaders of the house, particularly Speaker Clark and Chairman Underwood of the ways and meant committee, are opposed to such drastic revision of the wool schedule, aa Indicated by the bill which the ways and .means committee presented to the Democratic caucus. Mr. Bryan first fought the Underwood-Clark faction in caucus; he and his free wool friends may still cauae a disturbance before the bill passes the house. ' For some time It has been realised that trouble was brewing between Mr, Bryan and those charged with the duty of tariff revision in the house. While the ways and means committee members were fighting out the woolen schedule in the committee room Bryan was lambasting the "tariff for revenue Democrats" In editor.Jala In his papev the Commoner. . Will Qet their "Medicine." , Just before the Democratic caucus of .June 1, Mr. Bryan came out In another editorial broadside in which he virtually accused the house of having become "Aldrlchlsed." He hinted that those Democrats who refused to vote for free wool would be dealt with at the polls, and offered no consolation In event of their defeat. This angered the Clark-Underwood faction. They plainly resented the in terference of the Nebraska leader, who previous to this time, had been accused by tome house members with bavlng too much to do with the organisation of the house.. Wilson Bryan's Favorite. Bryan's disagreement over the wool Schedule, however, la perhaps but Incidental to the larger question who will he support for the presidential nomination? Heretofore it has been a seeming toss-up between Champ Clark and Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. One day Bryan was reported' to be leaning toward the speaker; the next day Woodrow Wilson waa declared to be in the forefront of hla affections. It has been conceded all along that Bryan would unqualifiedly oppose Governor Judson Harmon; whom he does not regard aa sufficiently progressive. Unless all signs fsll Champ Clark's Insistence that wool ahall carry a duty will have the result of permanently wean away the support of the three times defeated candidate of the Democratic party. . Some of Mr. Clark'a friends refuse to be distressed by this fact; in fact the claim is made by Influential Democrats that Bryan's Indorsement will hurt more thsn It will aid any candidate when the next Democratic convention Is held. House Wants No Dictation. Talking confidentially the other day one of the leaders of the house made the following significant statement, which represents the attitude of a number of those who profess to have the welfare of the party at heart: "William Jennings Bryan did not elect the present Democratic house of representatives. He shall not dictate to it, now that it haa been elected. "Democrats have heard that Bryan has threatened to go Into the district of any man who votes against free wool and defeat him. Some of us do sot believe that Bryan has any such power. "It Is not assured that Mr. Bryan Is going to dominate the -next convention. The candidate who romea Into the convention bearing the O. K. of Mr. Bryan probably will want to be rid of it before the votea are taken. Since Mr. Bryan's disturbing performance In the wool situation there are those of us who believe that a candidate will be Injured rather than benefited by hla Indorsement."

Chancellor Lloyd George, of England, and his little daughter. Megan, photographed at Beachborough, near Folkestone, during the Chancellor's convalescence from his recent illness. Miss Megan was her father's inseparable companion and nursed him back to complete health. In explaining his daughter's absence from a bazaar at East Ham Town Hall the other day, the Chancellor made his excuse for his daughter, adding, "She is here helping me to get well. Her cheerful presence is better than any physic." The Chancellor appeared for the first time since his sickness before the House of Commons on Thursday, May 4th. when he introduced the long-promised plan of state insurance against unemployment, sickness and invalidity.

COUNTY OFFICERS WJUTEOJB VAIN Attorneys Failed to Show Up, Making the Board Members Quite Peevish. Traction officials and attorneys for the county made themselves mighty scarce about the commissioners court Saturday which was the time set by the commissioner! -and their -Uor--neys to further consider the very attractive (to the company) "compromise," whih: the commissioners propose to make to the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company, in regard to the location of its tracks on the National road from 'the corporate limits of the city to the Wayne-Center township line. After waiting all morning with no word from their attorneys, excepting when attorney T. J. Study stepped in the room a minute to inquire where the other counselors were, the commissioners came back in the afternoon expecting the attorneys to be present. However, they did not show up and the commissioners, somewhat in disgust, voicing their sentiments that It seemed to make little difference to any onoe how much work they had to do. on their farms, adjourned court "about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. They do not wish to be, but are expecting to be, called in tpeclal session some day next week. During the afternoon the board learned that county attorney John F. Bobbins was in Indianapolis and so the members understood, discussing the proposed compromise with representatives of the . traction company. The commissioners had expected some representatives of the traction company would be present at - the meeting Saturday, but no one put in an appearance. Unless Mr. Robbins fully explained to the traction officals the nature of the proposition, the company has not been officially notified. At least the commissioners have put nothing yet In black and white. Briefly, the prop osition which the commissioners heard their attorneys outline Thurs day, and which they adopted on short consideration is that the specifica tions and contract for the improvement be modified for the construction of a forty ' foot instead of forty-six foot roadway. The six feet to be discarded on which ' contractor Cronin has made excavations, fills, and bridge extensions, in conformation with his existing contract, the commissioners propose to turn over to the company for the location of 4ts tracks. This work, contractor Cronin estimated on Thursday, waa of the approximate value of 11.500. He was expected before the board Saturday to fix definitely the value but he did. not put in an appearance either. If the compromise proposition goes through the company will .be asked, to construct a gravel roadway on that part of the road occupied by its tracks while the other forty feet will be finished in macadam, like a t ity street. 3 HEIRSGOT ESTATE OF HARRIET SHUTE Elizabeth W.

SENATOR STONE TO FORCEJHE FIGHT Plans Drastic Move to Bring Democratic Bills .Floor of Senate. on (National News Association) Washington, June 10. The Senate committee on finance has practically ended its sessions for the present congress.--Nor onlj- ha decided to report the reciprocity bill without recommendation, but it has made it clear that nothing more of importance is to be done by the committee this session. , This word was passed out today to the Democrats from Chairman Penrose. Senator Gallinger and other Republican leaders. This means the free list bill, wool bill and any other tariff bills the house sends over to the Senate will be burled in committee. Because the committee has decided on this course, Senator Stone, backed by other Democrats, served notice today that after waiting due time for the committee, to do something, motions will be made to discharge the committee from the consideration of bills which have been referred to It This will bring the House tariff bills squarely before the Senate. It was expected Stone would wait until the reciprocity bill was out of the road before making these motions. But he has determined to make them. They will force a revision of schedules directly to the front COLONEL GARRARD ALLEGES A THEFT (National News Association) Washington. June 10. That the papers in the Bloom case.

Preferred Against Officials of Standard Oil and the Tobacco Trust? POMERENE OF OHIO STIRS HORNET NEST By His Resolution Asking For Government to Announce Its Purpose Kenyon Has an Amendment. BY JONATHAN WINFIELO. Washington, June 10. Since the government has won signal victories

under tbe Sherman antitrust law in tional Woman Suffrage Alliance, the Tobacco Trust case, and the Stan- which opens Monday and continues in dard Oil case, questions are heard In sesion through Saturday, are here toevery quarter as to just what the day preparing for what they expect to government has accomplished for the ' give to "the cause" the most notable people after years of work on the part impetus since the inception of the of lawyers, and after the expenditure 'equal franchise movement. The woof thousand of dollars of the people's men who have come from every part money. I of the world, are among the leaders

The question is asked, are officials , and directors of the Tobacco combine and the Standard Oil corporatin crim-j inally liable for a violation of the law in view of the recent decisions? And if so, why has the government not insisted upon sending these men to jail the same as it would insist upon jail sentences in the case of an individual who had been arrested on a charge of receiving stolen goods and later convicted by a jury? In answer, it is pointed out that the defendants are men of wide influence, and while they have "technically" violated the law in the strenuous competition of business have in reality not been of the same danger to society as - the common crook. Tet in the eyes of the .law, one violation of a statute is just as much against the law as another, and theoretically ought to be punished without partiality. Starts Ball Rolling. - The hornet's nest . that has been stirred up over the question of imposing jail sentences on violators of the Sherman anti-trust law -was precipitated by Senator Pomerene of Ohio, who introduced a resolution in the senate calling upon Attorney General Wickersham to tell that body what criminal prosecution had been begun against the Standard Oil company or against the Rockefellers and their associates. This started the ball rolling, and it was discovered after much diligent search that only one jail sentence under the Sherman antitrust law had been imposed on a defendant since that law was passed in 1896. In that case it was found the defendant had not served any actual time in jail. This sentence was imposed in tbe case of the United States against the Naval Stores company and others in 1908. The defendants were tried and convicted on a charge of monopolizing and restraining interstate commerce under the Sherman antitrust law, and Justice Sheppard, United States circuit judge for the Southern district of Georgia, sent the two defendants to jail, as well aa fining them and three others $17,500. An appeal to the United States su-! preme court has been entered by the defendants, who have brought their case before the highest court on a writ of certiorari, and by next fall a decision will probably be entered in the case which will determine whether the defendants will have to serve their sentences or not. It is pointed out by Aattorney General Wickersham that it is not the fault of the Department ' of Justice that trust officials who have been adj judged guilty of acts in violation of the Sherman law are not sent to jail. The trouble, in these cases, he declares, is that the law gives the trial judge discretion of imposing prison sentences; that is the judge may send an individual convicted, under the Sherman act to jail, if he likes, but he does not have to do so. And all judges so far, with the exception of Justice Sheppard. have stopped short of imposing jail sentence. Urged Jail Sentences.; i The department of justice, Mr. Wickersham states, on the other hand

American Leaders in "The Cause Will Play Prominent Parts at Conference at Stockholm, Sweden.

KING RECEIVES MRS. CARY CHAPMAN CATT Preliminary Meetings. Will oe ncia ioaay in many ui the Ancient Churches of Swedish Capital. (National News Association) Stockholm, June 10. Delegates to the Sixth Conference of the Interna in their own countries. The hostelries of the city are taxed almost to their capacity, and many others of , the delegates will arrive tomorrow and Monday morning, ). Preliminary meetings will be held . tomorrow in many of tbe ancient churches. Prominent among these will be the services of the American delegation, headed by Mrs. Cary Chapman Catt, president of the International Alliance, who was recently received with such honor by King Haakon. The services will take place in the church of Gustave Vasa and will be attended by all delegates who speak the English language. This assemblage will listen to an address on the equal franchise problem from the Rev. Miss Anna Howard Shaw,' after which the international delegates will hold a mass meeting to prepare for the formal opening of the conference on Monday. Mrs. Catt Presides. . At nine Monday morning the assembled delegates will be called in. order by Mrs. Catt at the Grand hotel, where a vast auditorium has been put at their. disposal. Here, the delegates will discuss the business problems that have perplexed the diversified membership . of the international alliance, devoting the afternoon to sightseeing and the evening to a inception in the auditorium. This program remains; practically inviolate during the five days of the convention, with the exception that each day will be devoted to different subjects bearing upon the propagation of woman suffrage throughout the world. It is the intention to strengthen the intimacy and friendship between those who annually gather for the conference. There will be a report from each of the delegations representing their constituent countries. These reports will embody a narration of the progress made during the past year ; tne ! plans of campaign found most effect ive in that particular country; and an exchange of ideas through debate. The advantage to be derived from this method of exchange can only be estimated by the future success or fail ure of suffrage campaigns throughout the world. Work by the Press. Another interesting feature of the conference will be a report by the press committee upon the advance made during the past year in the distribution ' of suffrage publications. Some time ago the suffrage alliance actively took up the publication of suffrage magazines, looking toward the propagation of - equal franchise. Many of these are now on a paying basis, thanks to the devoted efforts of the ladies in charge, and it is hoped that a report upon the success met by suffrage publications here and in some countries abroad, will foster emulation among those whose organizations have no distinctly representative organ. It Is a significant fact that though the past years have seen a great increase in converts to equal suffrage, the American and English far outnumber their ' foreign sisters. ' This, U1 ICaUlJf il IS IV AilllTAUJCl ltU societies that suffragettes throughout the world must look to for Its establishment. With this in view, every effort will be made to obtain a closer alliance between the English and .
