V OL. XCIL, No. 109 WILSON ASKS REED BEATEN IN MISSOURI Referring to Him is a "Marplot" Former President Asks Defeat to "Redeem Reputation" of Democrats, LETTER iSMADE PUBLIC (Tty Associated Press) ST. LOUIS, May 8. Referring to united States Senator James A. Reed as u "marplot" former President Wilson in a letter to former Governor Lon v. Stevens, made public today, asked th defeat of Missouri's senior senator to "redeem the reputation" of the Democratic party. It was Mr. Wilson's third letter on the subject of the Democratic nomination for United States senator fought by Mr. Reed and Breckenridge Long, former third assistant secretary of state in the Wilson administration. The letter was in reply to one by Mr. Stevens in which the former governor referred to a letter the former president recently wrote the St. Louis i VJlobe Democrat attacking Reed. Mr. T Reed replied to this first letter in which he questioned Mr. Wilson's memory. The letter, under date of April 27 to Mr. Stevens- follows: Mv drar flnvornm. c " - aul J IC V TT11 . I "Your letter of April 22 has gratified ( . me. i am giaa to be sustained in my own judgment of Reed by your own closer knowledge of him and I shall hopo and confidently expect to see him repudiated by the Democrats at the primaries. Certainly Missouri cannot afford to be represented by such a marplot and it might check the enthusiasm of Democrats throughout the country if their comrades in Mi. sourl should not redeem the reDuta-LOTthe,Ipar-tyy ""bBtitutingr for jvrcu ti iiih (i til 1 rm irno rsran rT Democratic principles. I am sure your own great influence will mnfHhnto in the desired and expected redemption. "Please accent assurances of my entire confidence in the Missouri Democrats and believe me with best wishes. Sincerely yours, Signed Woodrow Wilson." In a letter last week to John C. Higdon. a local attorney, Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Higdon "not to complicate the contest in Missouri" by becoming a candidate for the nomination. Mr. Long recently opened his camDaien at Camn fJirarimi anA ATi- t?o opened his Saturday at Moberley. The primary is August 1. In his opening campaign address Senator Reed defended his course and asserted Mr. Wilson was "the boy who is conducting the campaign in Missouri for the side." COOK COUNTY JAIL RIOTING IS QUELLED AFTER FOUR HOURS (Bv Associated Press) CHICAGO, May 8. A four-hour riot in the Cook county jail was quelled early today when Wesley Westbrook, warden, and 30 guards removed the ringleaders from their cells, one at a time, and whipped them. Displeasure of the prisoners over a change in the method of admitting visitors lead to the outbreak. The riot started on the fourth tier. Flaming blankets were dropped to the ground floor. Dense smoke almost suffocated many inmates. With steel strips torn from their bunks, the prisoners beat upon the bars of the cells, the bedlam being heard for blocks. Crowds gathered at the jail entrance and police were called to drive them away. Women Hysterical The women's ward is just above tha fourth tiar and close to the center of the disturbance. Four babies, who were locked up when their mothers and two other women were committed last Thursday on a contempt of court sentence, became hysterical and jail ' pnysicians were called to quiet them. One woman, about to become a mother, was reported to be suffering a severe nervous shock. Warden Westbrook said that after each of more than 900 prisoners had i.a visitor on a recent visiting day, !:ackages left mounted so high it required the entire jail force nearly all night to sort them. "The result was that guns, saws, files, drugs, and all manner of contraband came into the jail." he said. The warden then decided to divide the jail into four sections and permit only one-fourth of the prisoners to have visitors at a time. H.

Republican senators of the so-called manufacturers' group, who are interested in free raw materials, will watch the result of the vote with unusual interest as it will disclose how much strength the tariff bloc really has and what they will have to reckon with when the other items endorsed by this organization come up for action. Expect Solid Sunnort. In their effort to overturn the finance committee on cyanide, leaders of the agricultural tariff group look for almost solid support from the Democrats. On the other hand committee members and other Republicans not affiliated with the bloc count on the Democrats to support them in the other issues with the bloc as in each instance a rate higher than that fixed by the committee is demanded. Debate on the cyanide schedule broke suddenly in the senate last week, with Senator Pittmann, (Demo crat, jevaaa; launching the fight to place It on the free list.

$25,000 FIRE LOSS ATHARRIS-HARDMAN PLANT EARLY TODAY Fire, originating from a gasoline torch which came in contact with pitch, did 'between $20,000 and $25,000 wortn or damage to the Harrls-Hard-man Refrigerator conmanv's nlant early today. inree story brick building rormerly was No. 6 warehouse of the old 1 Gaar-Scott company's plant and stands j on the northeast corner of North Sixth tireei, adjacent, to tne Pennsylvania railroad line. The fire quickly spread over the entire lower floor and parts of the second and third floors. The building, which had been used as a warehouse for a number of years, was in the pro cess ot Deing converted into a modern refrigerator plant. Building Insured Two carloads of feed, located on the third floor, and new machinery and refrigerator work being installed on the first floor were in the path of the blaze. Howard Gaylor, one of the officials of the company, said he did not believe the machinery was much damaged as it was new and had not been uncrated. The building was Insured for $22,000. The Palladium had 60 tons of news print stored In the building. The paper was covered by insurance. The blaze started at 6:20 o'clock. Paul Newton, a workman in the employ of the Armstrong Cork company of Cincinnati, was preparing for the day's work. He had lighted a gasoline torch, which was to be used to heat pitch in which slabs of cork were laid as lining for refrigerators being installed in the building. The flame of the torch lighted some pitch nearby and from here the flames spread over the floor to the front part of the building, going up an opening there to the second and third floors. Starts Near Elevator The fire started near the elevator shaft in the middle of the building, but the fact that the elevator had been stopped at the second floor the day before, probably saved the building from much more serious loss. Woodwork on the entire lower floor was badly scorched, but J. Ed Higgs, building inspector, after a preliminary survey, declared he did not. believe the main supports of the building had been seriously injured. George Hamilton, who had charge of the installation of the refrigerator work in the building, was just coming in when the flames started. His son, who was with him at the time, turned in the alarm, and fire companies Nos. 2 and 5 responded. Mr. Gaylor stated that if the heavy Bi. genl the buildinS "ere in good I .ape' theyould resume operations at once, as tne Deginnmg of their busy season was just ahead. The plant .was nearing completion and was one of the most modern in this part of the country. SEND STATE RANGERS TO QUELL POSSIBLE UPRISING OF NEGROES (By Associated Press) FT. WORTH, Tex., May 8.

SINGLE COPY, 3 CENTS TO GIVE RUSS LOAN IF THEY ACCEPT NOTE Lloyd George and Schanzei ii x 1 Address Strong Appeal to Soviet. Urging Them to Accept Memorandum. TO RESERVE RIGHTS (By Associated Praul GENOA, May 8. Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Britain, and. Foreign Minister Schanzer, of Itatr, addressed today a strong appeal to the Russian representatives at the conference here, urging them to accept the allied memorandum in its main points and promising Russia an International loan, with the understanding that the lending countries would thus provide funds for the reconstruction of Russia. The allies would claim the right to make sure, however, that the monev loaned was actually invested in the work of construction. M. Tchitcherin, it was learned, has received instructions from Premier Lenine, which are reported to embody an emphatic order not to accept Clau6e One of the allied memorandum which forbids Bolshevistic propaganda abroad, virtually restricts Russia to her present boundaries and asked Russian neutrality between the Turks and the Greeks. Lenine's contention is reported to b that this clause infringes, on Russian sovereignty, attempts to prevent Best sarabia from effecting a reunion with the Ukraine and seeks to Interfere with the friendly relations with the Turkish Nationalist government Mustapha Kemal Pasha established by the Angora treaty. Amount of Loan It was asserted that altogether th nnnPnXTd W0Uld amunt to 300.000.000 gold francs. It has been declared that the Rus sians were asking for 3.000,000,000 go'd rubles or 25 times as much as the allies offer. The Russian delegation had previously issued, a statement denouncir.s the efforts it alleged France and Befgium have made to wreck the conference. The statement called attention to the fact that these powers both were predicting that Russia's refusal to accept the memorandum would break the conference up had not themselves signed the memorandum. Week to See End The fifth week of the conference opemng today, will see the end of the conclave, it is generally believed. An atmosphere of gloom nmoc cence circles in view of the apparent i...iauuiiy or tne positions o t-ngland on one hanrJ and j Xy I . " v. . 1 1111 V til :l Belgium on the other over the terms nnder which the reconstruction . of Russia would be undertaken Admirers of Mr. Lloyd George believe he may yet have some trump card in reserve, but in other quarters no such hope is felt, although it is conceded that several deadlocks have been broken when dissolution seemed certain. Among the reports circulated is that the conference will be continued", even if France and Belgium drop out in protest against the recognition embodiedf in the allied memorandum of Russia's right to hold foreigners property sequestrated under the soviet nationalization program. Predictions Made Those who predict a breakup think it will take the form of an adjournment. If the soviet reply, which i expected within two days, is unsatisfactory to the powers, these people say another note will be sent to UkRussians embodying the powers' minimum terms and giving the bolsheviki a stated period for consideration on.t final reply. - The Russians may spring a surprise by returning a favorable answer to the present memorandum h , . . , n i. l i.r.1.plete acceptance is improbable and the Bolsheviki would hardly agree to amendment by France and Belgium of the property clause, whir-h ti .i ready regard as one of the most drastic conditions laid down by the powers, as it compromises their political principle that all property he owned by the state. . .. ; - France Nervous. France has announced through her chief spokesman, Vive Premier Barthou that she will not go on with the negotiations unless the Russians give a categorical answer to the memorandum. A dilatory reply, one which meant merely "playing for time," said M. Barthou, would bring the instant withdrawal of France. This would include refusal to consider the non-a-gresson pact proposed by Mr. Lloyd George, as such a pact would h im possible unless there was an arrangement with Russia. Meanwhile the Italian leaders continue their role of peacemakers, and Foreign Minister Schanzer is devoting all his attention to the problem of finding some formula which will satisfy the French and Belgians. Little hope is held out, however, that this Is possible and Czech-Slovakia is said to be leading the way in negotiation a separate, economic accord with the Bolsheviki in lieu of the collective agreement which seems improbable of attainment. Although the Italian parliament 1 3 in session. Premier Facta returned to Genoa from Rome this morning, accompanied by Signor Bertone, minister of finance, and Signor Sharba, thu minister of labor, called there by the gravity of the conference situation. Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Russia was the first delegate Signor Facta saw. The premier, in his conversation with the head of the Russian delegation, emphasized the necessity for all Europe, but more particularly for Russia, that the conference prove successful. He asked that the greatest effort be made by tho Russian delegation to find such a compromise as would ba acceptable to alL.
