MAY Resort to Movies
to Find McCarrick Boy

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of seven-year- Warren Nc
Carrick is today as complete as when
the boy was first missed from his
home a weeg ago. An almost cease
less search by his father, assisted by
his friends, Boy Scouts and the en-
tire police force of this city and the
surrounding country has failed to re-
veal a single definite clue as to the
missing boys whereabouts or to give
an inkling as to his probable fate.
Fifteen of the cleverest detectives
in the local service who have been de-
taild on the case were obliged to con-
fess today that they were no nearer
the solution of the problem than when
they were first assigned to unravel 1t.
Varying theories are advanced to ac-
count for the boys disappearance.
Those who believe he haos been kid
mapped for ransom point to the fact
that while the child's father is not
wealthy his grandmother, who was
much attached to him, is property
owner.
Photographs and descriptions of
the missing boy have been sent
broadcast and il is proposed to utilize
the moving pictures in an effort TO
secure some clue. A reward of $1,000
has already been offered for his re-
turn.

VOTE STATEWIDE
PRIMARY DAY AS
PLANK IN INDIANA
Administration Men Win Con-
vention Committee Fight, 7
to 6-Kern Attacked.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 10
After an all-night session of the resol-
ution committee, platform for the
consideration Of the Democratic State
convention, which met here today, was
adopted, and includes a plank, pro-
posed by United States Senator b. F.
Shively, placing the party on record
as favoring State wire primary law.
The vote Oh the plank was seven to
six.
After the platform had been COM
pletd, members of the committee ex-
pressed resentment over the actions of
Senators Shively and Kern and men,
bers Of Congress who appeared before
the committee and urged the adoption
of the primary plank.
Mayor Joseph y. Bell, Of Indian
apolis, chairman of the committee de-
elared only one of the thirteen MEM
bers of the committee favored the
primary feature, and that it had been
adopted only after the Senators and
Congressman had made plea that II
such plank were not included it
would be a reflection on President
Wilson's policies. For that reason,
Mayor Bell said, seven members of the
committee voted for the primary
plank. He said that the members of
the committee instead of being con-
structive for the party had become its
pall-bearers, for he declared without
the convention system the party's or
ganization would go TO pieces.
Speaking for the committee, Mayor
Bell also asserted that members of
the committee had expressed their
opinion that President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan had not written the
letters indorsing the Statewide prl-
mary to Senator Kern voluntarily,
but had been asked to do so.
The pr mary plank as adopted by
the committee declares for a state
wide primary law for the nomination
of all offices, but saving the State
convention for Counsel" organiza-
tion and declaration of party prin-
ciples.
There were 1896 delegates in the
convention.
Party leaders said that Senator
Shively would not be opposed for the
senatorship but the contests for the
other places on the ticket were very
spirited.
THE Democratic party can well
afford to submit it's records for the
year" declared Governor Samuel NJ.
Ralston, of Indiana, in his convention
address. Governor Ralston reviewed
political events of the last twelve
months and asserted that the party in
power had redeemed it's pledges and
had the country solidly behind 1t in
its program for the future.
''The record made by President Will
SOD in the last year surprises the
achievements OF any of his predeces-
sors in 80 short a time" said the gov
eFnor. 'It is not surprising that by
the foreign press he is recognized az
an international aehoolmaster by pre-
cept and example, instructing the
world in commercial fairness ana in
the science of government that en-
braces all mankind. A grateful peo-
pie also should not fail to pay tribute
to those who have stood by the Presi-
dent. Much of the popularity of the
present national administration is due
to the stand 1t has taken for the
things that have been advocated for
years under the leadership of that
nasterful man, William Jennings
Bryan"

Hall Called Unfit by
Long.

In spite OF the emphatic protests OF
Chief of Police Michael IT. Long, the
license committee of the Common
Council last night granted a dance
hall license to Herman Eisen, of 43
Prince street. Police Judge Simon
Hahn appeared In behalf of Eisen,
and for a time there was a lively tilt
between the judge and the police
chief
Chief Long appeared before the
license committee on February 19 and
opposed the granting of a license to
Eisen. At that time the license was
refused. The committee, however,
overruled the protests of Chief Long
and three of his plainclothesmen last
night, and reconsidered Its former ac-
ton.
The chief in opposing the license
declared that the dance hall was fire.
quented by a disreputable class OF
people He said he made the protest
because he felt 1t his duty to protect
the public morals of the city. He
pointed out that the character and
conduct of the people who frequented
the place showed that Eisen was not
a proper man to have dance hall
license.
The chief admitted that ne had not
made a personal investigation of the
place, but was basing his statements
on the reports of the plainclothesmen
who had been there. Lieutenant Quinn
and Detectives Schroeder and Bau-
mann corroborated the chiefs state
ments. They were the officers who
made the Investigations.
Detective Schroeder declared he had
seen a girl in tn dance hall who ap-
peared to be under fiften years OF age.
He admitted that when he called the
proprletor's attention to her she was
asked to leave the hall, and that
Eisen declared she would not be ad-
mitted again.

US. WILLING TO
REOPEN PARLEYS
WITH GEN. HUERTA
Administration Officials Await
Further Proposals for
Peace in Mexico.
SEE CRISIS IN OUTCOME
OF BATTLE AT TORREON
Simultaneous Attack on Ma
zatlan Is Planned by the
Rebels.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-While
no official word came to the White
House today of the reported purpose
OF General Huerta to reopen parleys
with the United States by sending his
minister of foreign affairs, Jose Rojas,
10 Vera Cruz to confer with John
Lind administration officials indicat-
ed willingness to listen to any new
proposals for q peaceful settlement.
They seemed to attach most IMPORT
ance at this time to the outcome OF
the impending battle at Torreon,
which is expected to mark a critical
turn in the strength and. prestige of
the contending factions.
When the exchange Of notes be-
tween Senior Gamboa and Charge
O'Shaughnessy and John Lind was
concluded last autumn the attitude of
the Washington government was
firmly established as opposed not only
to the recognition of Huerta but any
successor of his choosing.
News Eagerly Awaited.
The Washington government had
been mindful that a peaceful settle
ment in Mexico depended not alone
on the choosing of a man to whom
diplomatic recognition might be ex-
tended, but that 1t was equally de-
pendent on the attitude of the Con-
stitutionalsts, who have announced
their unwillingness to compromise
with the Huerta group.
Should the Constitutionalists be de-
feated at Torreon. it is within the
range of possibilities that the whole
situation may be changed and COM
promise candidate agreed upon. Specu-
lation in official circles was not based
on any definite information. and news
of the visit of RoJas to Mr.. Lind was
eAgerly awaited.
JUAREZ, Mex, March ia sim
ultaneous attack on Torreon and
Mazatlan was predicted in advices
received today. 1t was said that while
General Villas rebel army was NOV
ing against Torreon forces under
General AlYara Obregon would as
sault Maze tlan. Obregon was report
ed to be moving 1900 troops against
the Pacific coast port.
This was said to be part OF gen.
erab plan for an aggressive move
ment against ell Federal forces in
ncrthefn Mexico
Victory Means Much to Rebels.
The fall of Mazatlan, it was said,
would mean virtual control OF the
west coast, while the Gap1llras vi, Tor
reon, the railroad centre of Central
Mexico. would threaten the capital.
If the rebels capture these two
points both armies would, it is said,
nave against Guadaisjara, which Is
the strategic key to the South.
According to the plans Guaymas
would be ignored nhopes that the
California gulf port might fall with
the capture of Mazatlan
4yt was said that the simultaneous
movements against Torreon and Ma
zatlan had received the sanction Of
General Carranza now marching
overland into Chihuahua.
