OLD LINERS KICK ON CUMMINS PLAN Republican Standpatters Disapprove of the Latest ' "Harmony" Plan. (National News Association) WASHINGTON. May 9 Old-line Republicans today expressed in strong terms their antagonism to the independent action of Senator Cummins, of Iowa, and other members of the progressive wing of the party in calling a conference in Chicago tomorrow. They declined to approve the plan and declared that the Cummins faction was laying the party open to another split. Senator Gallingher, New Hampshire, minority leader of the senate, said: "I think the Cummins conference is pre

mature, and when the time comes to !

re-organize the Republican party I certainly shall follow the men with the party rather than those who helped to wreck it." Senator Smoot, of Utah, declared that neither Senator Cummins nor any other Progressive can reorganize the Republican party. Senator Stephenson, of Wisconsin, was of the opinion that the Cummins conference presaged another party split. "They wrecked the party," he

said bitterly, "and now they are trying to damn it." . Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, said that it would be better to postpone the Cummins conference now and hold it later under the regular Republican banner. In the house the old-line Republicans from Minority Leader Mann to the newest incumbent of office viewed the conference with disapproval.

WORKS BOARD MAY PURCHASE OILERS

The members of the board of public works Monday will receive a proposition to purchase a street, oiling machine by agents representing street oilers. The cost of a machine is approximately $4,000, and the length of time one can be used is at least twenty years. The streets have heretofore been oiled by contractors who furnished oilers, and the price the city has been forced to pay for their use was exceedingly large. Towns much smaller than Richmond have purchased such machines, and they are proving more popular each season. The following are some of the towns that use oilers: Eaton. Ind., Gaston, Warren, Anderson, Muncie, Frankfort, Columbus and Franklin. Two machines are now being operated by Marion county, and the purchase of additional machines is contemplated.
