MARYLAND LEADERS
READY TO SUPPORT
WOODROW WILSON
Democrats Will Meet In
Baltimore Today to Set
Date for Convention.

BALTIMORE, Md. April 1l.-WoodA
row Wilson against the field.
This Is the position which has been
taken by Democratic State and city or
ganization leaders In their fight to send
an unknown pledged delegation to the
convention. From present indications
they will be aided by the Maryland
supporters of Governor Harmon, Speak
er Clark, and Congressman Underwood.
Many leaders gathered at the Hotel
Rennert last night and discussed the
work OF the State central committee
which will meet today at the Eutaw
House to fix the date for the State
convention, and decide upon the number
OF delegates who will be sent to the
national convention to cast Maryland's
sixteen votes.
Leaders hope to prevent any discus
sion of Presidential candidates at this
meeting. Wilson supporters did not ap-
pear at the Rennert last night, but IL
Is thought that they will turn out In
force at the meeting this afternoon, and
arouse all possible enthusiasm for their
choice.
The general impression is that they
In no way will be guided by the course
or the Harmon, Clark, and Underwood
men. They will insist that his name
be printed on the ballots even II the
organization and the friends of all other
candidates line up solidly against him.
The committee today will probably
PROVIDE for the election of thirty-two
delegates to the convention, thus giving
each delegate half a vote.

ENTRIES CLOSE FOR
HORSE SHOW HERE
APRIL TWENTIETH
Many From Capital to At
tend Sale In Vir-
49,, ginia.

April 20 Is the day that entries close
for the National Capital Horse Show,
and the telegraph wires to washington
will be busy working that night with
the names of horses and owners.
Washington horsemen will attend the
auction sale April 20, at the Potts
Sarm, near Gorlonsville, Va, of the
horses of Mrs. Allan Potts, mistress of
fox hounds Of the Castle Hill hunt, and
one of Americas most famous horse
women.
Mrs. Potts famous champion heavy
weight jumper, Willow Spring, Is one
of the many thorougabreds which will
60 under the hammer. Accordingly, the
entry list at the National Capital Horse
show will fall to show any entries, as
In the past, under the name of Mrs.
Potts, but many of her horses are likely
to be entered here under the names of
new owners, for the date Of the auction
, sale was arranged with this in mind.
Mrs. Potts Invariably managed at past
washington horse shows to carry off
q share of the honors for her thorough
understanding of horses and ability to
manage them has always been held re-
markable. .'
More green hunters than ever before
will be seen at the Washington show
because of the way F. M. Ware, gem
eral manager, has arranged the prize
list. Green hunter classes as such have
been kept distinct. and horses which
have had experience In the show ring
will not be allowed to compete against
them. On the other hand, owners OF
green hunters find on the prize list
class after. class into which they can
, put thase horses. -~'
Horsemen declare the arrangement a
good one, both as regards stimulating
breeding and pleasing the general pub
; lie. Green hunters unused to the bars
furnish considerable spectacular excite
ment at show, their riders OCCASION
ally getting some nasty falls.
On the other hand breeders are en-
couraged, because 1t gives them more
chance for money and honors than ever
before.

The market was crowded with farm
ers and their teams, as trading had
just begun. After the storm struck,
the roof of the ball park grandstand

we're killed and q great many people
we're hurt, some so badly that they

Would Reduce Express Rates.

WASHINGTON, July l5.-Sweeping
reductions in express rates averaging
in general, approximately fifteen per
cent; drastic reforms in regulations
and practices, and comprehensive
changes in the methods of operation,
are prescribed In report made public
today by the interstate commerce
commission Of its investigation into
the business of the thirteen great ex-
press companies of the United States.
Briefly stated the new rates may be
said to be based upon minimum
charge of IL cents for one pound
package. This charge increases in
ratio to the increase of weight and
distance, at rates varying from three
tenths of cent pound to about
twelve cents pound. Twelve cents a
pound, according to the conclusions
of the commission. is approximately
the highest rate for the greatest
distance possible for parcel to be
carried wholly within the United
States, exclusive of Alaska.

fife and drum corps which has seren.
AIDED everything worth while in town,
was so we'll known and so popular by
parade time that it won continuous
plaudits throughout the march which
lasted nearly four hours.
Tonight both Great Falls and Kalis-
pell bands are less demonstr alive, be-
ing utterly wearied. Twenty Great
Falls marchers followed their band
Butte in white suits trimmed in purple

representation was the band, few

Montana company with an automobile
and nine splendidly attired picked
marchers all in white.

Depreciation Claims Held Up.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The like.
lihood of congress authorizing the
payment of something like S33, ,000, 900
in claims presented by western people,
arising out of Indian depredations In
the early days, was given an addi-
tional setback this session by the de-
feat Of the Stevens bill In the house.
For years these claims have been be.
fore congress for recognition, but
have failed, and in all probability
they will never be paid.
Objection to the payment of these
claims arises from the fact tha,
those who lost we're not at the time
citizens of the United States, or ths,
the depred ations we're not committed
when the Indians were actually on the
warpath. The Stevens bill sought tC
authorize payment to some of the
holders of these claims through
chang ing the present law to include
''inh abitants" instead of "citizens,'
but the house refused to accept even
the modified form.
