COMES UP TODAY
Firemen and Enginemen May
Transfer Headquarters
to Washington. .
DELEGATES LIKE CITY
Officers Could Best Serve Interest Of
Brotherhood by Remaining in
National Capital.

Because of the fight which comes this
morning in the convention of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, when the question of the removal
of the headquarters of the organization
from Peoria, Ill, to Washington is con-
sidered, a number of delegates, who
otherwise would have taken advantage of
the opportunity to escape the excessive
heat, refrained from going on the ex
cursion to. Great Falls in order that they
might stay in the city and conduct a cam
paign.
Those who are opposed to Washington
will make a determined effort to displace
the question and have the regular order
of business restored. Friends OF WASH
ington are confident they will be able to
defeat this movement. They pin their
faith on their success in having had the
question made privileged, despite the OPP
position of those fighting Washington.
Warm Contest Probable.
Regardless of whether or not the ques-
ton is displaced, a lively tilt will take
place. Friends of Washington declare
that if they succeed in bringing the ques-
ton to a showdown, they will win the
fight.
day marshaling their forces, and are
primed for the fight today. The hotel
Hobbies were filled with groups of dele
gates talking over the situation. The
opponents of Washington admit that II
they fail in their efforts to postpone
action their cause is hopeless.
Washington boosters claim that the
National Capitals chances are now bet
ter than they have been at any time
since the convention opened.
The chief argument advanced by Peoria
is that the headquarters already are es-
tablished there and many OF the officers
have acquired considerable personal prop
erty. which they would be compelled 10
dispose OF at a sacrifice.
On the other hand. it is claimed that
Washington is the logical place for the
headquarters. regardless Of the angle
from which the question is viewed. II
is contended that all legislation is for
INFLATED and passed in the National
Capital, and that the officers of the or
ganization could best serve the interests
of the brotherhood If they were sta
toned here, where they could keep a
watchful eve on all that transpires.

ASsASsINs SWEETHEART DEAD.
Louise Wooster Tried to Mitigate
Deed of John wilkes Booth.

Birmingham, Ala, June 15.-In a corner
OF cemetery at Birmingham, Ala. prac-
tically unescorted, a little over week
ago was buried the body Of Louise
Wooster, the woman whose name will be
handed down in history as the last sweet
heart of ]. Wilkes Booth, who killed
Abraham Lincoln.
Known as THE woman of many loves"
the browning affection of her life was
for the soulful eyed, handsome. dashing.
fiery tragedian whose deed shocked the
whole world in his day and the horror
and wantonness OF which will be felt
through all time.
One of the last acts of this woman's
life was to publish an autobiography in
which she barred the great love Of her
life and sought. courageously to lift some
Of the stain which clings to Booths
name by mitigating his deed.
To Louise Wooster. even to the last,
Booth was a kindly and affectionate
gentleman. 20 her he was an out and
out unionist, to whom she attributes the
assassination as an inspiration growing
out OF the belief that Lincoln and Lincoln
alone was responsible for the terrific
conflict Just closed, and that once he was
removed the trouble would be ended.

ARMY OFFICERS Think
U. S. EASY TO ATTACK
Say in Case Of War, Insular Posses
sions and Part of Coast Could
Be Entered.
REPRESENTATIVE KAHN TALKS

Despite injunctions laid upon officers
OF the army not to discuss in any way
the potentialities of the situation with
regard to Japan. what they think is be-
coming common knowledge in Wash
ington.
Officers who have most seriously
studied the situation with regard to the
preparedness of the United States for
war see in the present issue with Japan
much food for thought. The opinion Of
these officers is that in the event of hos
tilities with Japan, the forces of that
country would be able TO occupy the
Philippines, Hawaii, Canal Zone, part OF
Washington or Oregon, and perhaps Cali
fornia. 1t would be a long and hard
task, they say, for the United States
to drive them out of such positions.
which they might take by means of the
advantage they would possess through
greater preparedness.
Speaking OF the general state of I'M
preparedness in the United States, Rep
resentative Julius Kahn of California
said today:
Il am not an alarmist, but as a resi-
dent of California know something
about the situation, and I know also the
disadvantages we labor under in not hav-
ing a mobile army where officers and
men have been trained in tactical units
as we'll as a reserve which could fill the
ranks Of a sudden emergency.
Let the man who thinks this is SIM
ply a scare read the history of the last
fifteen years. From time TO time Russia
would take some action. and Japan would
protest Then would follow negotiations
extending for months and years.
Then some other act of Russia would
cause another protest by Japan, and fur
Their negotiations. And so il went along
year after year. Japan was preparing
all the time. And finally when fully
prepared. she struck with such sudden
ness and ferocity that a powerful nation
like Russia was defeated on sea and land
and compelled TO conclude a peace most
1T Is not because I want war that I
want an army properly organized. trained
and drilled. with a reserve which shall
meet emergencies. II Is because / want
to avoid war. With such an army as a
country situated like the United States
should have there would not be much
possibility of war, and there would be
far fewer war scares' to alarm our PEG.
