RESULT AWAITED
DELEGATES EAGER TO LEARN
WHO WILL BE CHOSEN
No Bitterness Shown In Selection of
President General, Each Candidate
Being Put Forward on Her
Merits
[By Associated Press.l


WASHINGTON, April 22.-All was
suspense tonight among the Daughters
of the American Revolution over the
result of the election of a president
general and other officers today. The
balloting was begun late In the after
noon and tonight the tellers were
counting the votes. This may take
many hours, and it was regarded as
unlikely that the result would be
known before tomorrow.
The day was one of intense excite
uent. There was a mad rush for Con-
tinental hall and long before the ses-
sion began every delegate was in her
seat and the galleries were packed to
oyerflowing.
The bare mention of the names OF
Mrs. Story and Mrs. Scott, the anti
administration and administration can
didates respectively for president gen.
eral, was enough to set the gathering
into a state of pandemonium.
The delegates and visitors threw
aside all semblance of restraint and
cheered wildly, clapped their hands.

ways displayed their partisanship.
The nominating speeches were fiery
and gave every evidence that the con-
test was a battle royal. There was no
suggestion of bitterness. however, the
respective candidates being put for
ward entirely on their merits.
The fury of the struggle was broken
somewhat when in the afternoon the
Daughters went in a body to the White

FORT NIAGARA, N. Y, April 22.-
The great ice foe still effectively
blocks the mouth of the Niagara gorge
in spite of the vigorous assault on il
today with dynamite.
The channel was not even opened by
the explosive, and the slush ice, which
shot sixty feet into the air, fell back
into the hole from which it had arisen.
The main mass of the ice from the
mouth of the river ten miles north is
apparently as solid as masonry. About
100 feet from the shore narrow chan
mel is swiftly running. About eighty
feet north of the head of this channel
is a good acre of green water Istreaked
with chunks of ice.
The attempt made was to break the
ice bridges separating the two open
spaces. To reach the ice bridge it was
necessary to lay a road of planking,
for the ice is so soft In spots that a
man would sink in it.
Across these planks Jerry McCar-
thy of Buffalo and Charles Tuttle, ex-
perts on explosives, bore two big bum
dies of dynamite and rammed them
down into eighteen feet of slush and
water into holes forty feet apart. State
Superintendent of Public Works j.
Kunzie touched off the fuse at safe
distance.

PATTEN, IN COLORADO, SHOWS
WRATH AT NEWSPAPER MAN

TRINIDAD, Colo, April 22.-James
A. Patten, Chicago's wheat king who
was reported yesterday to have desert
ed the battle in the wheat pit to in
spect for himself the wheat situation
in the central west, arrived in Trini-
dad this morning and left shortly aft
erward for Tercio. Colo, a little post
station near the New Mexican line.
From there Mr.. Patten will drive over
land twenty five miles to the ranch of
w. H. Bartlett near Vermejo Park,
N. M. The trip will not be a pleasant
one, either, for a binding snowstorm
is prevailing today and twenty five
miles of the ride must be made across
the mountains through heavy snow
drifts.
Mr. Patten appeared tired and ex-
tremely nervous, and he was not in
the best of temper when approached
by a reporter. In fact he was rather
peevish.

answer to a question as to his mission
in Trinidad.

Armenian Starts Trouble

ADANA, April 22.-The immediate
pretext for the disorders here was the
shooting by an Armenian of three
Turks, one of whom died April 10.
The following evening a Moslem
crowd beat an Armenian to death.
Uneasiness greatly increased among
the Armenians and several of the most
prominent urgently demanded that the
government take adequate measures to
preserve order.
The morning of April IA the situation
became critical. The Armenians re-
peated their demand and the governor
gave assurance there would be no dis
turbances, whereupon the leaders OF
both sides went through the streets
urging the shop keepers to reopen their
places of business.
At noon. however, Moslem crowds
armed with clubs filled the market
places and streets and soon the mac
sacre began with the looting and burn
ing of shops and houses.
