NO AMALGAMATION,
SAY PROGRESSIVES
New Party to Organize Every County
in Illinois--Senator Root
Scored.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE Progressivcs
yesterday informally agreed on Frank
Allen, wealthy manufacturer, as the
party's candidate for the United States
senatorship. Allen was reluctant.
The platform reaffirmed faith in the
party program.
Raymond Robins, chairman of the
state central committee, declared against
amalgamation with either of the old
parties. This sentiment was re-echoed
in letter sent by former United States
Senator A. J. Beverage OF Indiana.
"Now comes Mr. Taft recommending
Senator Elhu Root as the Republican
candidate for president in 1916. This
suggestion has received encouragement
from the high priest Of the Republican
faith. Where can the people look for
help except to the Progressive party -
said Mr.. Robbins in conclusion.

PRESIDENTS PARTY
Trouble Arose Over Undue
Activity of Press
Agent

Washington, Dec. l7.-Seeretaries Gar
rison and Daniels received an explana-
ton of tho incidents at the Caraboa dim
ner. A letter expressing regret that any
thing should have given offense to the
president has been sent by army and
navy officers. A report is to be made
to the president.
Rear Admiral Howard, honorary presi-
dent of the order, yesterday repudiated
the work of the press agent who fur
nished advance stories about the dinner
which declared that what was said and
done was designed to show the lack of
sympathy for recent developments and
tendencies in the Philippine govern
ment." Admiral Howard said neither
he nor any other officer knew such
statements We're being given out. Brig
adler General Aleshire, Brigadier General
Mcintyre and Admiral Howard conferred
with Secretary Garrison yesterday and
promised to furnish report of what
occurred at the banquet. President Will
sons order for an investigation of the
affair has created great commotion in
army and navy circles.

BUYS 10 ACRES IN
HEART OF LONDON
Many Millions of Pounds Sterling Paid
Duke of Bedford by Harry
Mallaby- Deeley.

| London, Dec. l7-What is believed to
be the biggest private real estate deal on
record was completed yesterday by the
purchase of the Duke OF Bedford's block
of freehold property, covering about
nineteen acres in the vicinity of Covent
Garden, in the center of London, by
Harry Mallaby- Deeley, unionist mem
Der of the House of Commons.
Many millions of pounds sterling
changed hands over the transaction, but
the figures were withheld, the agents
vouchsafing only the information that
the price exceeds by several million
pounds the sum paid for any other single
property.
Roughly speaking, the estate stretches
east and west from Kingsway to st.
Martins lane, near Trafalgar Square,
and north and south from Long Acre to
the Strand. 1t includes the royal opera,
the Drury Lane, the Aldwych, the
Strand, and the Lyceum theatres, several
hotels, Covert Garden market, Bow
street police court, the National Sport
ing club. and number OF great print
ing establishments.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Tonight at Barre Opera House, Howe's
Pictures.

Forewarned is forearmed. Ladies
who contemplate a trip to the descent
into the depths of the canyon should
wisely witness Lyman H. Howe's repro
dnction of it at the opera house tonight.
They will not only see exactly what the
trip implies but also what it involves.
For one thing, they will note that no
woman attempts to make the trip un-
less she first dons divided skirt. In
fact, this special skirt is imperative as
anyone. will admit after seeing Howe's
reproduction. The trail as the outset
seems utterly impossible of descent. Aft
er traversing the first downward mile.
the grades seem to become more and
more frightful.
Thrilling rescues of survivors from an
ocean greyhound during a terrible gale:
confiagration of several hundred
thousand barrels of oil; an aeroplane
ride over Paris; the wondrous forms of
marine life; study in palmistry
yachting scenes Off Monte Carlo: and a
motor ride through the French Alps are
some of the other, big features to be pre-
sented-AdV.

MARKS ON THE BAGGAGE.
They Tell Walters Abroad the Kind of
Man the Owner Is.


Man the Owner Is.
Much Travelled persons who careful
iy examine their trunks will find there
on number of cabalistic marks which
they. probably put down to the wear
and tear imposed on the baggage. As
matter of fact. the signs come. not
OF chance. They are placed there by
the walters at the various hotels
whereat the traveller has stayed and
have direct meaning.
A sort of freemasonry exists among
walters at European hotels They
have system of marking baggage so
as to tell other walters the manner of
man that the traveller is as regards
tipping.
The traveller who arrives at hotel
with his baggage marked with
straight upright line on either side OF
the locks is sure of good attention.
He is classified as very liberal.
horizontal straight mark In the upper
right hand corner of trunk means
that the owner is no good at all. while
If this mark is accompanied by V
mark it signifies to the waiting fra
ternity that the traveller is the limit
entirely hopeless.
A cross mark on the lower right
hand corner conveys the intelligence
that the owner of the trunk Is rather
eccentric, but worth paying attention
to. A diagonal mark in the lower left
hand corner speaks of a person who Is
eccentric without being liberal.-Lon-

Committee Comedies Re
forms and Avoids Danger
of Special Convention
TT ASSUMES
JURISDICTION
Over Delegate Situation and
Will Recognize Those
Elected by Primary

Washington, Dec. l7.After five hours
debate yesterday the Republican nation
Tal committee determined it was clothed
with ample power to readjust the com
position of the party's national conyen-
| ton and had authority to make reforms
in the convention rules.
The question Of calling a special con
yention was voted down after long de-
bate.
Senator Borah, in talking against the
convention plan as favored by William
Barnes, jr., said: "There is no more
astute politician than Mr.. Barnes and
unless change is made he will surely
be as potent in the convention Of 1916
as he was in 1912"
The committee decided to make a
change in southern representation and
gave recognition to the primary election
Of delegates.
The consideration which has Influenced
the committee to avoid holding special
convention unquestionably has been the
bSiiei bIdb every I6luIHH HeccsSdif W
impartial procedure in the nominating
convention of 1916 can be instituted by
the party through the national commit
tee with the approval OF the Republican
voters of the states through their state
conventions. The resolution adopted by
the committee merely outlines the gem
eral principles which have governed the
committee in taking action. IT expresses
confidence that the work of yesterday
win be approved and specifically pledges
the committee to the reforms described
above. Because Of its lack of detailed
suggestion, this resolution may be mis-
but it was introduced with
the idea that il the party through the
national committee shall authorize
broad line of Cancellation action, the
working out of the details might well
be left to subcommittee, which can
make its plans at its leisure.

VANISHED MOUNT MAzAMA.
II Was One of the Loftiest Peaks In
the United States.

The highest mountain in Oregon is
Mount Hood, 1925 feet above the sea
level, Compared with Mount Whit
ney, to the south in California, and
Mount Rainier, to the north in Wash
lngton. each rising well above $4,000
feet, Mount Hood does not appear as
a skyscraper. However, according to
the biologists Of the United States
geological survey and other authori-
ties, Oregon had at one time, proba-
bly, before the dawn of life upon the
earth, a great volcano which lowered
as far above Mount Hood as does
Mount Rainier, possibly even several
thousand feet higher. This was the
great Mount Mazama, But thousands
OF years ago the mountain disappear
ed into the bowels of the earth. and
all that is left today is the huge rim
around Crater lake.
Crater lake is the cnldera of this ex.
tinct and collapsed volcano and Is
nearly six miles In diameter. The in
side walls of the rim of the ancient
mountain are in places nearly 1000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
The lake itself is in places 1000 feet
deep. and parts of the wall rise above
its water another 1000 feet. A res
toration of the mountain in fancy, us
ing as basis the angles of the lower
slopes, which still remain. shows that
the apex could not have been far from
NJ.
Mazama was one of the most lofty and
majestic peaks in the United States

lists also have named candidates. but
they are not expected to cut much
figure in the results.
That the contest is regarded as ot
