Wason-Taft Speaks in Six Counties.

Baltimore, Nd. May 1.-THE Mary
land republican. state convention here
today faced the task Of reconciling the
contradictory results Of last weeks
primaries. Altho Sc, bare majority OF
the 129 delegates were bound by the
popular preference to vote for dele
gates to the national convention who
should favor the nomination Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, q majority of these
state delegates. estimated by the Taft
men at seventy y-eight, were Taft SYM
pathizers, and numerically these were
able to control the convention.
With a situation like this con-
fronting them, the leaders of the two
camps of delegates conferred until
early this morning and reached tent
ative agreement that eight of the SIX
teen national delegates should be
named by the Roosevelt men and elght
by the supporters Of President TAFT.
Admit Instructions Binding.
The Taft men have not tried to avolo
the binding provision Of the primary
law which declares that all these SIX
teen delegates shall vote at the ma
fional convention in favor OF the
candidate who won the Maryland pref
erence primary (Roosevelt) as long as
sin their conscientious judgment they
believe he can be nominated. Some OF

Attorneys bal for the state and the
defense seenoed4 to be thoroughly ia
miliar with the past history OF each OF
the veniremen and referred constantly
to typewritten notes as they examined
the men.
Each venireman has been closely
questioned as to whether or not he
has been approached by any one In
terested in the case and sounded as
to his views, but all have answered In
the negative.
In regard to the inference that the
defense might rest without placing any
witnesses on the stand Attorney Han
ley said that this action might be fol-
lowed IT, as was expected, the states
case was weak.
Preliminaries OF the case have pro-
ceeded so rapidly that ii is expected
that the trial will not consume as
much time as was at first expected.
Judge House continued court in ses-
sion last evening an hour beyond the
usual time for adjournment.

witnesses in the Oliver {. Wilson case,

ty sheriff has been ordered to place
him under arrest and bring him to
Davenport to answer for contempt OF
court. 1t is claimed that notice was
served on Haley and he failed to an

The state depended on Haley as the
witness to testify regarding confer
ences of labor leaders at which he
was present.
1t is now thought probable that q
jury will be secured before adjourn
ment this evening altho the work may
continue until tomorrow. Four per-
emptory challenges have not been used
by each side.

Hsphaz.rd Way. of Settling Strikes.

The Lawrence strike lasted over three
months altho the state board of arbi-
tration and conciliat ton in MaSsachu
setts is one OF the oldest and perhaps
as successful as any I'm the country.
The recurrent labor troubles in both the
anthracite and bituminous coal fields
and the wave of industrial unrest which
has spread over New England and New
Jeeey since the Lawrence strike en-
phasizes the haphazard methods which
now prevail for settling industrial con-
flicts. In the preservation of industrial
peace. IL anywhere the principles of
scientific management should be ap-
piled. Yet "a review of the labor dis
turbances OF the last decade says
Shelby NJ Harrison. In The Survey
would emphasize that there is no uni
formity either of agency or OF methods
for dealing with industrial problems.
about one half OF the states, by
providing some kind of arbitration and
conciliation boards. recognize that the
public has some interest In Industrial
disturbances But of these boards some
may only make investigations. Some
may publish their findings and some
may not. Some may initiate their in
vestigations and others must wait to
be called into the crisis Some have
no funds and have practically no CON
tlnuous existence. Some may recon-
mend settlement measures. but none
have power to enforce them. and many
states have no such boards at all
Private agencies. moreover. have
established no uniform or workable
procedure either. II is high time to
broaden our current peace movement
to include the bitter Industrial strike
which Is unmistakahly growing. When
to settle Industrial disputes property
is destroyed and people killed. war
exists. These who see no seriousness
at all in these industrial disturbances
will be quick TO see the need OF dealing
with them in some large scale system
attic way The day Of make shifts has
passed and an intelligent interest In
the future OF the country demands an
impartial scrutiny OF the causes and
tendencies"

SHALL DEAD TESTIFY?

Effort to Introduce Statement Of Late
Henry o. Havemeysr in Sugar Trust
Dissolution Suit Causes CLASH Of At
torneys.
New York, May 14-Shall the voice
of Henry o. Havemeyer, dead five
years. be heard in the government dis
solution suit against the so-called
sugar trust?
Counsel for the government and the
defense clashed over this question to-
day in the first session held to take
testimony in the suit. When the ses-
sion adjourned the question was still
undecided and it seemed likely that
the point would be taken over the head
Of Special Examiner Wilson B. Brice
to the United States district court for
decision. District Attorney Wise de-
clared that Mr.. Havemeyer's testimony
was material to the suit while the
score of lawyers representing the de-
fendant objected variously that it was
privileged. immaterial, incompetent
and prevalent.

State Convention.

San Francisco, May 1+.-Women of
California were given their first oppor-
tunity today to express their choice for
the presidential nomination. AS con-
sequence the presidential primary vote
promised at the opening Of the polls to
be the heaviest the state has known.
The campaign which closed last
night with the Roosevelt and LaFol-
lette forces making a final effort to
swing San Francisco's vote was bitterly
contested. Senator LaFollette. aided
by his wife and others toured the state
charging that Roosevelt had failed to
give him a square deal"
Taft speakers hurled the same
charges at Roosevelt. Governor john
son gave his aid to Roosevelt. Senator
Beveridge also spoke for Roosevelt.
Secretary Of State Knox made a speech
at Los Angeles in behalf of his chief.
The republican campaign proved Of
such sensational interest that the eff
forts made by the democratic candi-
dates did not figure conspicuously The
contest was between Champ Clark and
Woodrow Wilson almost exclusively,
no other candidates making an organ
lied fight for the California preference.

PEOPLE ELECT SENATORS
House Accepts Senate Bill and Meas
ure Now Goes to Separate States for

ure NOW Goes TO separate states tor
Ratification - approval by States
Certain.
Washington. May 14-Election of
senators by the direct vote Of the peo-
pie is assured.
The first formal step to this end was
taken when the house of representa-
tives Overwhelmingly accepted the SEN
ate bill and thus provided for the pre-
sentation OF the constitutional amend
ment to the several states.
More than the requisite three fourths
of the states either have adopted SEN
atorial primaries or forced thru their
legislatures resolutions approving the
reform.
1t may be expected. therefore, that
at the elections of 1914. or certainly
those of 1916, one third Of the senate
will be elected directly by the peo-
ple
Every two years thereafter third OF
the senate will be elected, SO that In
eight years the upper house of con-
gress will be composed of men who
owe their seats to the voters and not
to the legislatures.
Fight by Bartlett Fails.
Only one attempt was made today to
destroy the reform, ostensibly on the
ground of states rights" and that
was by Representative Bartlett OF
Georgia. Bartlett proposed an amend
ment forbidding congress to inter-
fere with election of senators.
This was designed to throw the bill
back into conference and to show the
senate that tie house would not ac-
cept the Bristow amendment which re-
tains in congress the power to fix the
time manner, ana places of holding
federal elections.
The Bartlett amendment was de-
feated by the overwhelming vote of SO
yeas to 1S9 nays. Only two represen-
tatives voted in its favor, Kahn and
Knowland Of California. All the MEM
bers from Illinois, republicans and
democrats, voted against it. The vote
accept the DILL as 1t came from the
senate, and it was adopted by 237 yeas
to 80 nays.
Clark Rules Down Objection.
Representative Sisson of Mississippi
raised the point that two thirds Of the
house not having voted In favor OF the
motion 1t had failed. But Speaker
Clark ruled that under the constitu-
tion favorable action is secured by the
approval Of two-thirds Of those pres
ent and voting"
1t now will be the duty of the sec
retary Of state to notify the governors
Of the several states Of the action OF
congress and to request the approval
or disapproval Of the amendments by
those states. This action will be taken
at once.
Thus has ended struggle which has
been maintained for years in and out
OF congress-. All the big interests, ac-
custcmed to naming senators. were op-
posed to the reform.
