HARMONY FIRST :.
IS PLEA Of THE
CONSERVATIVES
Obligation to Party Para
mount, Say Hun
dreds.

CHICAGO. June 20.-The demand for
third candidate and the elimination of
both Taft and Roosevelt from consid-
Grafton by the Republican national
convention, starting early today, Is
growing by leaps and bounds.
Obligation to the party was declared
by hundreds of the delegates to be the
paramount issue instead of loyalty to
any individual. And these delegates
were bringing every ounce Of pressure
possible to bear to have their wish con-
sidered. They were openly demanding
OF the Taft and Roosevelt managers
that they withdraw their men and let
the convention name a candidate on
whom all could unite.
Situation Is Clearing.
The leaders were trying to stand pat
But there were evidences of weakening
h certain quarters that led the political
exports to believe that within a few
hours the situation will have cleared up.
One OF the half dozen most prominent
Roosevelt leaders went to a Taft rep
resentattve who is in a position to
speak for the President, and asked
whether, II they could pull the bulk OF
their forces off the Roosevelt band
wagon, the Taft men would do the
same. He was told that on the face
was impossible.
The refusal was not definite, however,
and the Roosevelt leader was asked to
be prepared to renew II later today.
1t was not contended that this leader
spoke for Roosevelt, but he did repi c.
sent the bulk OF the Roosevelt men who
want party success made paramount
and individual ambition eliminated.
Congressman Serene f. Payne. CO.
author of the tariff bill and one of the
TAFT leaders in the New York delega-
uon, admitted that he had heard the
compromise talk.
Sees Hadley AS Candidate.
1T came to me indirectly" he said,
''but 1t came somewhat emphaticalIy. I
believe that if the bulk of the Roose-
welt forces stay in the convention and
make no attempt to bolt there will be

TO go over TO Governor Hadley. They

LEGAL PROBLEM IN ARMY
Status of Gen. McC|ernand
Upon Retirement Proves
to Be PuzzIing.

Army circles are discussing an inter-
esting legal problem involved in the case
Of Gen. Edward J. McClernand, head OF
cavalry board now in Europe. Several
months ago that officer, then colonel 1st
Cavalry. was nominated to be brigadier
general vice Gen. w. W. Wotherspoon
nominated to be major general vice Grant
deceased. Congress adjourned without ac-
ton on the nominations and both officers
were given recess appointments. When
Congress reassembled few weeks age
the officers were renominated Their cases
remained Enacted on up to the time that
the legislative body began its holiday re-
cess extending to January 2.
BY operation of law Gen. McClernand
will be transferred to the retireu list on
the Goth instant on account Of age. AS he
cannot be confirmed as brigadier gen.
eral before that date. the question arises
as to his status on the retired list. The
statutes provide that an officer shall be
retired in the rank held by him at the
time of retirement. 1t is probable the
Attorney General will be asked to advise
the War Department as to whether the
officer in question shall be retired as a
brigadicr general under his recess ap-
pointment or whether he shall be re-
tired in his last regularly commissioned
rank as a colonel of cavalry.
Gen. McClernand is a medal OF honor
man. He is from Illinois, and was
graduated from the Military Academy
in June, 1870. During the Spanish war
he commanded the 44th United States
grade of colonel in November. 1908. and
since then has commanded the LIST Cav
airy and served as a member or the
general staff corps.

Strong Plea in Dynamite
Conspiracy Case.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. December Do
IF you believe these men are guilty 1t
is your duty to convict them. but if you
undertake to piece the evidence together

should think of the lives you are about

Henry Nowlan. Peoria, ILL.,, so appealed
to the jury today on behalf of the forty

fessed criminal you are asked to sepa-
rate forty men from their homes and
deprive them Of their liberty" said Mr..
Nowlan "Of course. McManigal never
expected to tell his story. In travelling
about the country blowing up nom
union Jobs he had no future object In
view when he saw as many people as
possible and left behind him evidence
Of his visit OF course. he did not de-
liberately plan to implfcate others. He
was not twice brought from Los An
ge;as for that"
william A. Gray. Philadelphia. an
other counsel for the defense, told the
jurors that none of the defendants ap-
proved of the acts Of the Mcnamara
brothers or Of the assaults and riots
in labor disputes, as had been described
by witnesses.

January 2. without having confirmed
the reappointment sent to it by the
President of Edgar E. Clark as inter-
state commerce commissioner. he will
cease to be commissioners after Deem
Der 81, when his appointment expires.

REvILINGS OF UTMOST LIMIT
Retirement of Vice Admiral Bridge

Bitter Disputation.
ALLEGATION OF BRIBERY
REVILINGS OF UTMOST LIMIT

LONDON. December 2O.-Much hard
language was INDUCED in and venomous
feeling aroused in the house Of commons
this afternoon over the retirement of
Vice Admiral Sir Francis c. Bridgeman-
Bridgeman from the position of first sea
lord of the British admiralty.
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford. who
is a member Of the house, and Winston
Spencer Churchill. first lord Of the ad-
miralty. reviled each other to the utmost
limit allowed in British parliament.
"Backstairs methods ''bribes and
threats" gross insinuations'' and
"skulkine" were some OF the choice
phrases exchanged.
Brides and Threats Alleged.
Briefly. Lord Charles Beresford charged
Mr.. Churchill with pursuing a policy Of
brides and threats. If, he said, the sea
lords disagreed with Mr.. Churchilrs au-
tocratic assumption of the executive as
we'll as the administrative authority they
were dismissed in insolent letters
Mr.. Churchilrs reply was crisp and
singing Lord Charles Beresford. he
said. had made number of insinuat tons
Of a very gross character. HE has
skulked in the background waiting for
an opportunity to make charges unsup-
ported by facts" Mr.. Churchill declared.
He has leveled scurrlous allegations OF
espionage, favoritsm, blackmail and inc
efficiency against me; but I have never
taken him too seriously. He does not
mean to be as offensive as he really Is.
Regrets the Appointment.
II am sorry he was not made an ad-
miral of the fleet as know how sore he
Is about ii. but since I have been at the
admiralty I have discovered that 1t would
be very difficult to get a board Of naval
men to approve such an appointment"
Mr.. Churchill stuck to his guns in say
ing that he had written to Admiral
Bridgeman insisting on his resignation
solely on account Of the admirars health
rendering him incapable of adequately
fulfilling his duties.
