 CAMPAIGN WORK
WILL GO TO NEW YORK TO AID IN STARTING CAMPAIGN COM
 MiTTEE TO WORK.
William c. McAdoo, Has Been Named as Vice Chairman of the
 Committee.

Seagirt, N. Y, Aug. 1.--Governor Woodrow Wilson will take a hand to- morrow in getting the democratic national campaign committee organi- zed for action He will go to New York where he will meet National Chairman McCombs, and probably de- eide definitely upon the appointment of national treasurer and a chair. man of the finance committee. The governor expressed himself as highly pleased at the appointment of Will liam G. McAdoo as one of the vice chairmen of the campaign committee and he said two others probably would be chosen, representing wes- tern sections of the country. MT. McAdoo will have charge mainly of the campaign in the east
 Whatever delay the national com mittee has been experiencing in the last two weeks would be swept aside tomorrow night, the governor hoped. as he expected to be in conference with Chairman McCombs from early evening until midnight or longer, rounding up" as he phrased it, the affairs of the committee.
 He said no friction existed. but failure to get started was due to earnestness and thoroughness of the men planning the organization.
 Governor Wilson intimated tonight that he might wait until Monday be-. fore making definite announcements as to personnel.
 Josephus E. Daniels, national com mitteeman from North Carolina. and chairman of the publicity committee, reported that the publicity committee the newspaper contribution committee and the committee on organization of clubs and auxiliary election bodies were in full swing.
 Of the visits today of senators Culberson of Texas and Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Representative Henry Clayton. chairman of the house judi. ciary committee, the governor said little.
 They were complimentary calls, :" he remarked.
 "We didn't discuss campaign busi- ness"
 Governor Wilson today rejected the suggestion that the national guard of New Jersey, take part in the eere- monies here August z, notifying him oh his nomination. He believes the military unnecessary in a political gathering of that kind
 Edward 10. Grosscup, chairman of the New Jersey Democratic Commit tee, talkeed with Governor Wilson at length today, arranging for New ter sey Day at the summer capital August IT.
 MT. Grosscup estimated from his arrangements that 10000 democrats would call on the governor that day He declared the decision of governor Wilson not to resign his office during the present campaign would please democrats throughout the state. Speaking of his intention not to re- sign, the governor said;
 "T have been practically unani- mously advised by my friends and newspapers of the state not to re sign"
 Resignation before the coming election might mean, 1t was pointed out, succession by republican presi- dent of the state senate and the governor likewise yielded to requests of many democrats that less confus- ion would be caused in state politics if he retained the office

carelessly set his sights for 1900 in
stead Of 500 yards with the result
that the 22 caliber bullets cleared the
top of the target and pierced the wall
which was supposed to be bullet
proof.
One of the missiles struck Walter
Field in the nose, infiicting a serious
wound. II has not yet been located.

BUTTER COMBINE
IS PREPARED TO
BLEED PUBLIC
HAS l17,000 Pounds of Com
modify in Cold Storage
SUPPLY is C0RNERED
Government Brings Suit Charging
EIgin Board of Trade With
Conspiracy.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-More than Ill.,
100000 pounds of butter, amounting
practically to an absolute corner in
the commodity, is held in cold stor-
age. Prices inflated to from 10 to Is
cents per pound above normal will be
asked for this butter.
Most of the excess profit will be
divided among small ring of men.
including several beef packers, ac-
cording to reports in the hands of
the Federal authorities.
Just who the men are who will en-
joy this sudden and unearned wealth
and just how they have been able to
get the butter supply of the Nation
so completely in their control, is
what the government hopes to prove
in its suit filed in the United States
District Court in Chicago Saturday,
TO dissolve the butter trust"
Whether the men and concerns
named in the suit are the ones to
whom the easy millions were to have
gone has not been stated openly, but
it is known that the action was
brought as the direct result of the
activities of score or more OF
United States Secret Service men.
Price manipulation by the Elgin
Board of Trade, the Government
charges, permitted the accumula-
ton of the $4,000. 0OO-pound butter
corner. AS a result housewives who
buy butter today will pay AZ cents
pound for it, instead of the pos
sible 20 or 30 cents a pound that
would be charged If the price were
regulated by the legitimate relation
OF demand to supply. And on the en-
tire 117,000,000 pounds as 1t comes
out of storage a little at time,
there will be exacted an extra toll oil
from 10 to is cents pound.

PROF. REEFS LECTURE
Members Of FortniehtIy Heard Talk
on Henrik lbsen.

Henrik Ibsen" was the subject
OF the lecture given by Prof. Rees of
Williams College before the Fort
nightly Saturday afternoon. The AT.
ternoon was in charge of the COM
mittee on literature, taking for their
subject, The Modern Drama"
Prof. Rees made his subject inten.
sely interesting and considered
lbsen, first as the romanticist, and
later as the student of sociology. He
read parts from several OF the Nor.
weglan's plays, including "Hedda
Gabbler'. "The Dolls House" and
Ghosts" of which he gave a brief
synopsis. He also told something of
lbsen's life, dividing his writings
into three periods and giving the
characteristics OF each.
He cleared up many points that a
student Of lbsen finds confusing and
said that Ibsen himself had remark
ed that many of his readers in
searching for the obscure, lost his
most obvious ideas, this being
especially true in the delineation of
his characters and their motives.
Prof. Rees was listened to atten-
lively by a comparatively large aud
fence. who found his talk scholarly
and enlightening.
