6.0. P. WORRIED AND - CONFUSED AS TIME FOR MEETING NEARS WASHINGTON. April 26. More than one-half of the delegates who will sit in the Republican national convention have now been named and the convention Is scarcely six weeks away, yet as the convention date draws near confusion is becoming mora rather than less. Managers of the various presidential candidates may make their claims and boasts and attempt to give the impression that a particular favorite has a big chance and that others have little chance, yet those who are impartial nheorvera rt national nolitics and are

familiar with the situation regard it as j one . containing many complications and possibilities and are completely at f-ea as to who is likely to become the nominee. It will be in the convention itself that the decision will be made . and it is becoming increasingly apparent thet the decsion is unlikely to be made on pn early ballot. Situation Perplexing, Indeed. Indeed many political observers of wide experience see so many uncertainties in the situation and are so perplexed as to what may happen, that they always figure a possible dark horse in any discussion and deductions they may attempt to make. But even those who see possibilities of a dark horse do not pretend to know the color of that horse's eyes. The dark horse talks, of course, refects the perplexity of students of the political game rather than that it represents any really serious proposal to settle on any one other than from among the avowed candidates. The c.'ark hor.se represents such an extremely long shot that those who Indulge in such talk would not want to risk a wager on his chances to win. It is significant that while 4 delegates (not including Montana) have been named and that these represent more than one-half of those who will vote in the convention that 340 of the number are uninstructed while the little more than 200 who have been instructed are divided among four Reports Slow on Church Drive ; U.B. and S. Eighth Friends Oversubscribe Reports of the success of the first day's campaign of the Interchurch World Movement were slow in coming in Monday. Neither the county nor city directors had received full Information. Most noteworthy of the local churches was the United Brethren, which raised $.647 on a two year budget, when the quota is only $3,126.84. and the South Eighth ntreet Friends, who raised over $4,000 before the drive started. Their quota was only a little more than $3,900. Equal success is hoped and believed assured by other churches of the city and county, but through some misunderstanding, the prompt reports which were to have been sent in at the close of the day have not been received. A fine spirit was shown by the young people of the First Baptist church when they subscribed $500 to the Baptist drive, which will start In this city next Sunday. Commercial Treaties May Stabilize Markets PARIS. April 26. Trade agreements or commercial treaties by which France and Germany may stabilize markets and ro-operate in some branches of commerce are forecast in a report of the foreign trade bureau of the department of commerce. Three industries, potash, iron and roke, and textiles, are taken up by the report, which shows the economic dependence of the two countries upon each other. Germany's former monopoly in pot ash is now jointly held by her and France. Iron and coke are closely related, and Germany is the logical source of the latter product, which France cannot produce in sufficient quantities. Alsace has many important cotton mills, but the product has in the past been sent to Germany for dyeing or printing. German plants are still better equipped to do this work than any in France, and, in addition, affords a good market for the manufactured goods. All Three Of Them In State Capitol Today INDIANAPOLIS. April 26. Three candidates for the Republican presidential nomination Major-General Leonard Wood, Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, and Governor Frank t). Lowden of Illinois were in Indianapolis for a short time today; General Wood was here only a few minutes, departing for Danville, Ind., where he was to make an early morning speech. Tie will return for an address next Monday, after a tour of Indiana. Senator Harding went to Crawfordsville and Governor Lowden to Marion. Each of these candidates also will make addresses in many Indiana cities. Senator Harding will return to Indianapolis for a speech Saturday night. The Indiana primary will be held May 4. Berlin Committee Refuses Oral Hearing to Statesmen BERLIN, April 26. Preliminary' investigation committee number one, which is. stud.ying pre-war diplomatic history, has decided by a vote of its Nationalist. Democratic and Center rarty members, as opposed to the Socialists, not to give oral hearing between the tlose of the parliament session and the rlectirms to former chancellor VonBethmann Hollweg and former foreign ministers VonJagow and Zimmerman on their share of responsibility for the war. The' decision was made on the ground that such action would unduly inflame the passions of the electoral campaign. Immediately upon the vote which registered this decision Dr. Ernst Quarck, the chairman of the committee, a social Democrat and the father of the proposal to hear the former ministers, handed in his resignation. TURN JAIL INTO HOTELRESULT OF PROHIBITION OTTAWA, 111., April 26. Sheriff O. Ayers announced today that the "Ottawa Jail will be turned intd a hotel because prohibition has em-ptid it cf prisoners.,

"MEDIUM PRICED" SHOES TO BE THING FOR NEXT FALL BOSTON, April 26 It is more and more evident that buyers are concentrating on medium-grade shoes for next fall. Many manufacturers have j realized right along that the demand for the highest grade, or rather for j the highest-priced shoe, would not last i forever, and that sooner or later the public would insist upon a substantial j and stylish article to be had at a moderate price. Consequently the firms who made j preparations for the showing of men's , and women's shoes to retail up to $12: a pair are receiving satisfactory busi- j ness for next fall, while those whose j shoes are to be retailed at higher fig- i ures complain about the volume of ; orders. The larger demand for men's j work shoes is also an illustration of how the public changes its mind. o id cm) o o
