DEMOCRATS DAZED DY SUDDEN. BREAK; FEAR FATE OF PARTY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Wilson and Bryan. Democrats, are dazed, bewildered and discouraged today. -; .The split between President Wilson and. the jnan -who nominated him tor the presidency gave Democ ratio senators such a, shock that they have not yet pulled themselves together sufficiently - to know . what policy they should adopt or where they should turn. It will take them a few days to pettle down; : Administration Demo crats are so maa tnat tney wui not coot off at once. They are not so much alarmed about the fate of the treaty as they are the fate of the Democratic party. They fear that, the party row has only begun. . Republican and Democratic friends of the treaty had just begun to make real progress In quiet negotiations for a compromise that would have made ratification possible rery soon,, but President Wilson's disappointing stand against anything but meaningless Interpretations and his apparent eagerness to carry the treaty fight into the next : national campaign brings these -negotiations to a halt, at, least temporarily.' . : ? People to Be Influenced. Further negotiations probably will be influenced by the stand that the people, especially Democratic voters, take as to whether Bryan's demand for an Immediate compromise and ratification shall be heeded or whether President Wilson's stand shall be supported. .". 1 . .. Mr. Bryan took the position that the Independence of Congress be not impaired and he conceded that the Senate majority rather than the minority should dictate the compromise. Party: regularity rather persuades Democratic leaders here to once more "stand by the President" though they believe that Bryan's demand for a quick compromise rather than a 14 months' delay until after the next election will appeal stronger to the country than the President's willingness. If not eagerness, to make the treaty a campaign issue. They believe that the country is fed iSp on the treaty and Is more interested In getting It disposed of than in the questions of reservations or lnterpretaUUU) LUU, TVllilt; I iliauiiiX5 lujai vi iuv l.tr T-4-.- Elinor o faint n&VSV IVPiUCUb ill' J '-J'" j .v a. hope that, a satisfactory compromise will yet be possible.

INDIANA ARTISTS

SHOW BEST WORK IN EXHIBIT HERE A brilliant and representative group of paintings by Indiana artists will be opened Sunday afternoon in the public art gallery in the high school building. The artists, with the exception of a few who have only recently presented work, are well known In the state. ... Particularly Interesting to Rlcnmond is the display of her own artists. for she is ever loyal, but a number ol other, cities have sent envoy sv Mrs. Maude Kauffman Eggemeyer, whose work is always fresh and livable, and who might be called Richmond's Jolliest artist, has given the exhibit several charming pieces, in cluding "The Butterfly Baby' a rad iant portrait, "The Knitter," a portrait of Rebecca Frame, who was one of the most diligent Red Cross workers of the city, and -"Old Houses in Centervllle," an Interestingly, colorful backyard view. . J. E. Bundy had expected to send two or three canvases but was called out of the city by the death of a' rela tive, and was unable to complete the work he wished to display. Instead his daughter-in-law loaned his greatly admired "On the Edge of the Woods," which was shown in the Richmond ex hibit last fall. Elwood Morris, too, has only one picture in the exhibit, a charming land scape, A Hoosier Memory wmcn is a very pleasing reality as well as a "Memory." Using" his characteristic coloring on a deep woohs and a high bit of sky he has produced a canvas of real charm. It is regrettable that he does not have others in the exhibit. Francis F. Brown has a charming tempera. "The Country Road," hanging on the west wall of the east gal lery. It is well done but not as superbly as "The Clouds," an oil on the east wall. The atmosphere of this Slcture is splendid; the quality of Is work good; its distance keen and rounded. Eyden Also Exhibits. William Eyden, Jr., a younger art ist of the city, who is following his father In art, has sent several pictures, including a weird sepia study, and "Near the Town," more colorful. Eyden has given no beeches this time. Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Nixon have loaned a charming landscape by Charles Conner, deceased. Miss Elmlra Kempton, a Richmond woman, will perhaps surprise visitors at the gallery more than anyone else with her notable advancement since her last exhibition. Miss Kempton studied in Cincinnati for part of two years. Mrs. Eggemeyer has been coaching her for some time. "Silent Moments of Spring," "Lo, Spring Awakes," and "Comes Autumn" are three of hers which grace the exhibit. Her coloring is more firm, and more Imagination is shown in these canvases. Doel Reed, of Nashville, one of the Brown county colony, has a number of very nice small pictures, including a particularly interesting one, "Along the Ohio' In the foreground some tugs and other steamboats are plying in the Ohio, which has been called America's river Rhine." Above are buildings against a grey sky. Olive Rush, of Indianapolis, a for mer pupil of Mr. Bundy, has a group of splendid pictures in the exhibit. Imaginative feeling and excellent brush work are both displayed In Miss Rush's work. "A Gypsy Costume" proves one . of the most interesting studies in the gallery, showing artistic and straightforward work; good ex pression and pose in the figure paint ed. "Eleanor," a baby portrait might be mistaken for a near-Sir Joshua Reynold's baby, so perfectly is It painted. Perhaps it is a bit stiff, and maybe the child is too pale to be healthy, but the picture is charming. "The Indian Adobe" is another of hers. Steele Sends Work. Although 82 years of age T. C. Steele of Indianapolis, has sent a late work, "Iris Road," a picture of his home. Especially charming Is the foreground of the picture flanked on one side by delicately colored "flags.1 That Mr. Steele still has the soul and brush of an artist Is undeniable. Bright and fresh is Louise Zarring's Portrait of Eleanor." One wonders why she didn't balance Eleanor's arms but S. P. Baus should have .foreshort ened the left ar min his "Miss Eliz abeth Greer" as far as that goes. Both Mrs. Zarring and Mr. Baus have some nice things in the exhibit, however. A water lapped peer, "In Old Provincetown," and a lovely bowl of yellow narcissus are interesting exhibits of the former. Mary F. Overbeck of Cambridge City has a well composed portrait, "Just Going" the figure of a woman by a door, her fingers on the latch. The painting is not bright, and should be cared for carefully regarding lights. It is attractive, and shows careful work. Other pictures in the exhibi tion will be commented upon later, Bulgarians Negotiate for Place in Holy See (By Associated Press) ROME, Jan 10. Negotiations be tween the Vatican and Bulgaria for the conclusion of a concordat by which a Bulgarian legation will be accredited to the Holy See and a Nuncio or interNuncio will be sent to Sofia are proceeding satisfactorily, according to reports.

Oil com panies operating in the Tampico dis trict must fight Mexicans or bribe them, Michael H. Spellacy, for many years In the oil business In Mexico, testified today before a special examiner for the senate foreign relations committee. "By bribery, I mean that the companies pay officers of the Carranza government to do what they are required by law to do," Spellacy said. He added that many workers would like t put all facts of the situation before the government of the United States, but were not permitted by the companies. Spellacy declared that the feeling among Americans in Mexico was that the government knew "all about the troubles there and had deliberately suppressed the facts. "Americans feel," he continued that they should let the United States know, first hand what is happenin, and if the government won't do anything, then they will do it themselves.

"America's absence", says the Telegraph, "clouds alike the prospect of the present and the future. It weakens profoundly the moral authority of the league of nations and consequently the sense of security xegardlng the Immediate future. Instead of new machinery for the world's future guidance standing ready and complete waiting only motive power to set It going, the machine is not yet put together. The United States still stands outside. The allies have waited until they could wait no longer and must now go forward alone, deeply sensible of the loss they have sus tained but still hoping that sooner or later they will be rejoined by the great republic. The Daily News contends: "A new world order from which America, or for that matter Germany or Russia or any considerable fraction of mankind is excluded la fordoomed to failure." Urge League Construction. The newspaper urges that it is advisable to press on with the construc tion of the league, even In the event that America determines to remain outside because "there is reasonable hope that once the league Is in being, this attitude will ultimately become impossible." Referring, like other journals to political conflicts in America regarding the league and the Versailles treaty, the Chronicle says: "The position is not very reassuring to Europeans who are living in a word shattered by war. While Americans continue to debate we may derive some crumbs of com fort from the fact that statesmen llko William Jennings Bryan and Gilbert M. Hitchcock, Democratic leader in the United States senate, have no IIlusions about the danger of delay for , Europe, and the effect it has had upon American prestige." Modoc, Ind.

ORE HONEY W SCHOOLS" APPEAL

of supt. inrrEsr "More money for the schools of In- - diana, is the simple and v yet all en ' compassing answer' to the present school situation, said State Superin-; : tendent L. N. Hines of Ind!ananolU to members of the city federation of teachers, and others, in the public art gallery Friday night. v "If ire had more teachers, more' money, more books and more build lngs, we would be getting along fine." "Indiana s teachers are more poor ly paid than almost any other of the great commonwealths of the country, and as a consequence it is becoming Increasingly difficult to get any teachers at all," said the speaker. He ' pointed also to the school buildings of Indiana, which are not equal to the examples set by many other states,! he said. Superintendent Hlnes described the sweep of teachers from the teaching profession to commercial work, which offered vastly bigger pay. This ten-' dency, he said, is placing the school system very close to disaster. "Right now we do not have enough teachers to go' around; next fall the situation will be still worse for indus try and commerce in the mean time will have offered still more competent teachers remunerative positions. We are going to have to pay bigger salaries." Touching on the pension law the superintendent said that a New York expert is preparing a plan -to be sub-3 etituted for the present law In Indiana. As soon as the experts can tabulate the ages and length of experience.5 recommendations will be made for the perfection of the teachers pension law; with a requirement probably that all beginning teachers must enroll. ," "We do not have enough money to our school system." said Supt. Hlnet -We do not have enough money per capita. We do not have enough school buildings. We must awaken to the seriousness of the situation. "My theory Is that the way to get reforms is to know, the truth and act accordingly.. "For example, on the basis of the last census, taken in 1910, Indiana was twenty-second in the number of children enrolled in schools in proportion to her population. "Indiana was sixth in the amount of money spent on schools; twelfth on investment in. school plants; and twenty-fourth oh expenditure per child. "Why Isn't Indiana first? Simply for the reason that we are not putting enough money into our schools." Socialist Assemblymen Take Fight to People (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Socialist leaders as the next move in their fight against the action of the state assembly in suspending five members of their party today were perfecting plans to take their cause directly to the people. A mass meeting in Madison square Garden will be held at which not only socialists but leaders of other parties . and citizens generally will have an opportunity to voice protests. The committee of eight socialists organizing the fight to regain the seats of the excluded assemblymen has issued an appeal to all civic organizations and labor unions to send delegates to a non-partisan conference to be held at the Rand school Monday evening. While letters and telegrams from all parts of the country, some approving and others censuring the action of the assembly continued to , pour In upon various party leaders, a "letter from Charles E. Hughes Bent last night to Speaker Sweet of the assembly attracted the greatest attention today. The former justice condemned the suspension as an act in which "the very principles" of the American government are Ignored. He said that it was the perogative of a legislative body to consider charges made against an Individual, but that as he Inter preted this action it was an attempt to indict a political party. Grover Asks for Shovel, And is Set to Work (By Associated Pre?s) NEW' YORK. Jan. 10. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, son of a wealthy Philadelphia family, who is a prisoner at Ft. Jay, charged with desertion, after having been chased nearly two years by federal officers, asked today to be allowed to work with the other prisoners.
