FATHER WAS TOO JEALOUS
Elder Mr.. Catlin May Cost His
Son Seat in Congress.

Washington. July -Reprcsenta'INc
Theron +. Catlin, Missouri Republican,
will lose his seat In the House II the
plans Of Committee on Elections No.
. are carried out. The committee vii.
meet tomorrow to pass on a contest
brought against the young Missou-ian,
and the Democratic members Of the com
rnittee are declared 10 be unanimous ia
favor Of unseating him.
The attack against Mr.. Catln's title 70
a seat is predicated on the charge mat
his father, who Is wealthy. spent greater
amount Of money than II permitted under
the Missouri laws for Mr.. Catlin.s cam
paign. The elder Catlin's contribution 10
the campaign fund Is said TO have been
approximately $4,000. Under the Mis-
souri, law a Representative is entitled to
spend only $3.50.
Young Mr.. Catlin is understood 10 have
spent less than this amount and 10 have
been unaware Of the efforts In his behalf
by his father. The testimony, taken at
st. Louis, developed the story that the
members Of the family did not wan. the
young candidate. who Is serving his FRS,
term. to know that a generous parent han
given $4,000 TO his campaign, and the
money was expended under the direction
Of a personal friend and not by the or
ganized campaign committed In an at
tempt to aid the son the father, according
10 the view taken by the Democratic mem
5ers OF the committee, has laid the Rep
resentative liable TO the loss OF his seat.
The contest was brought by ex-lcTre-
sentative Patrick Gill, but It Is not prob
able the committee will recommend the
seating OF Mr. Gill. M Catlin had a
majority Of more than / 300 votes, and no
evidence has been adduced to show the
actual purchasing Of votes or corruption.
MIR. Catln may lose simply because his
father went beyond the limit permitted
under the Missouri statutes
The engagement OF Representative Cat
lin 10 Miss Laura Merriam daughter OF
Ex-Governor and Mrs. Merriam Of Mime
sofa, was recently announced, and the
wedding is an approaching social event.
II the House adopts the view Of Elections
Committee No. 9 Mr.. Catln probably will
wed as private citizen, instead OF as a
national legislator.
IT is reported that Mr.. Catlin will be
a candidate for the next Congress II the
technical violation Of the Missouri laws,
of which he is declared not TO have been
cognizant, results in the loss of his seat.

ARDENT LETTERS IN SUIT
Maryland Girl Demands 500,
600 from Rich Jerseyite.

Hackensack, n. j., July 1s.-Some fifty
letters filled with declarations or
love form the basis OF a $4,000 breach
Of promise suit which Miss Bernice H.
Commit, the daughter Of wealthy par
ents. OF Beaumont Park, Ed, has
brought against ]. Edwards Traymor. OF
Ramsay, Bergen County Traymor Is
wealthy and his family has been promi-
nent in Bergen County for generations.
On one occasion Traymor Is alleged to
have written:
II were gifted enough II would DC
to our benefit TO place before the puphc
the life story of you and !.
According TO Miss Commit this letter
was written before Traymor's mother
interfered with the courtship. and IL
seems likely now that the expressed
desire Of the author will come true
when Miss Commits suit is tried
Another letter offered in the case
reads:
/ called on Mrs. Lord on Friday night,

/ needed some one TO talk concerning

Agreed to Submit Documents.

A few days later the case was taken
10 Washington. The officials of the
electric companies agreed to submit all
documents, and. as far as is known, no
further grand jury inquiry was made.
A suit in equity was brought some time
later which resulted last year in an ac-
ceptance of the decree by the General
Electric and the two other companies.
The investigation, however led to the
discovery by the government Of the
nine wire pools for membership in
which seventy eight men well known
In the business world were indicted iii
June, 1911. When they appeared to
plead in the United States District
Court in New York Judge Archibald
was sitting in that court temporarily.
He accepted a plea of nolo contcndere
despite the objections of Henry a.
Wise, United States Attorney, and
fined the indicted men $1,000 each
on the first indictment and 800 on
every additional indictment. Accord
ing TO Judge Hough, plea OF nolo con-
tendere has never been accepted in this
Jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-This was
day of intangible and wild rumored
proposals in the Chinese capital. Min-
ister Calhoun cabled to the state de-
partment today. He said Yuan Shi
Kal was exceedingly reticent and II
was gathered that some Of the Man
chus had conceived what was re-
garded as a quite impracticable solu-
ton of the present deadlock.
This Is said to involve the restora-
tion OF peace upon the basis OF a
monarchy in the north and a republic
in the south of China both Of pro-
visional character The two ulti-
mately will be merged into some form
of government. its character to be de.
termined by agreemen, at some other
date when conditions become tran.
quill.
This merger is regarded as neces.
sary to prevent a further division of
China. and the seizure of the various
weakened sections and provinces by
powerful and voracious foreign pow
ers. The project is not regarded as
impossible OF execution and II Is be-
lieved that another solution of the ex-
sting dangerous scene will be found.

FOLK-CLARK Breach

MISSOURI DEMOCRATIC con-
NENTION TO BE HELD AT
JOPLIN. FEBRUARY 20.

ST LOUIS. Jan. 13.-The breach
between the forces of Speaker Champ
Clark and former Governor Joseph
w. Folk, who are striving for the Mis-
souri, delegation at the democratic ma
tional convention, was widened today
by the democratic state committee 8
selecting February 10th as the date
for holding the state convention At
Joplin. The Folk adherents fought
for date in March.
Folks managers. after the meeting
adjourned. announced that the COM
mittee had called a snap conven-
ton"
Speaker Clark's representatives on
the committee in unison declared that
the date of the convention was the
unanimous action of the committee.
The Missouri Democratic league,
which favors the former governor.
contended that the voters would not
have sufficient time to become ac-
auainted with the issues II the state
convention was held before March.
In a statement the league announced:
I'VE wish 1t understood that we are
not responsible for bringing about this
snap convention. But we are going
to fight to the last ditch"
Speaker Clark's friends believe he
will get the Missouri endorsement and
that the holding of the convention in
February will enable them to go TO
other state conventions later in Feb
ruary and get their delegations.
