no FORD MEETING I'M DENMARK.
Master Motor Maker Will Not Be Al
lowed to Give Public Exhibition
There.

Christiania. Dec. 2o.-Henry Ford
had received information that he
would be prohibited from holding
meetings in Copenhagen, it was
learned today. He will go there,
however, to select the delegates to
accompany his peace party to The
Hague.
Mr.. Ford expects to go to Copen-
hagen in a week.
The newspapers, in commenting
editorially on the Ford peace mis-
sion express little hope for it's sue
cess.
The peace expedition, after visiting
Stockholm and Copenhagen, will as-
semble at The Hague. Twenty-ons
delegates will be empowered to sit
indefinitely. They will have a two
fold mission: First, to suggest pos
sible means of peace; second, to re.
ceive overtures for peace directly
from the belligerents.
Mr.. Ford, it was publicly an
nounced, would place unlimited funds
back of the permanent peace dele-
cation at The Hague.

BIG BUSINESS PICKS TEDDY, |
PRESIDENT SAID TO RE
CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT.
Colonel Was Guest Mt Dinner Given by
Steel MaSnate, Which is Thought
to Have Political Significance.

washington, Dec. 20.--The attend
ance of Theodore Roosevelt at the
dinner given by Judge Gary. head of
the United States Steel corporation,
in New York Friday night in COM
pany with other representatives OF
big business was a fruitful topic
of conversation at the capitol today,
where many members Of the senate
and house were to be found, despite
the holiday recess Of congress. That
the dinner had political significance
was the consensus Of opinion and
that 1T strongly indicated the nomi-
nation of Col. Roosevelt by the Re-
publicans to run against President
Wilson was the opinion Of Senator
Chiffon Of West Virginia. 1t was the
West Virginia senator who predicted
nearly year ago that Col. Roosevelt
would be the Republican candidate
for the presidency.
Il am proud Of that prophecy"
said Senator Chiffon today. He said
that if the Gary dinner meant any,
thing it meant that Col. Roosevelt
was being considered for the nomina-
ton.
THE Republicans are looking
around for a man to beat President
Wilson, and SO far they haven't found
any one they think they can win
WITH" he continued.
Senator Chiffon said that the
strength of President Wilson through
out the country was very great, and
that If the election were held today
he would carry practically every State
in the Union. Col. Roosevelt's stand
|! in regard to the war would beat Col.
Roosevelt If nothing else would, he
said.
The passion of the American pco-
pie today is for peace" he said, "and
| the people of the United States today
feel as kindly toward President Will
son as they do toward Lincoln"

between the cotton mills of this Sec

view of this alleged combination they
bring suit.
The suits are brought because of
the expressed belief Of the former
operatives that they have been unjust

efforts to secure employment have
been unavailing because of a combina-
ton. Notice of the suits has been
served upon B. e. Geer, president and

The return to the complaint has
not yet been served.

EXTENDING PLOT INQUIRY.
NEW YORK CONSPIRACY PROBE
BROADENED.
Welland Canal Scheme Perhaps Only
Incident in Plan Covering the Whole
Country.

New York, Dec. 20.-Information
obtained by the federal authorities to-
Day from witnesses appearing before
the grand jury investigating the al
legged plot of Paul Koenig, head Of
the detective bureau Of the Hamburg
American line, to blow up the We'll
land canal. has widely extended the
scope Of the inquiry. After the grand
jury had adjourned for the day federal
officials stated that the Welland canal
plot might prove to be merely an
incident in a conspiracy which ex-
tended throughout the country.
Indictments against Koenig and
Richard Emil Leyendecker. the New
York art goods dealer. who was ar
rested with him, are expected to be
returned Wednesday and Thursday.
United States Attorney Marshal ad-
mitted, however. that these indict-
ments probably would be merely the
forerunners of others to be sought
from subsequent grand juries deal
ing with Koenig's other activities.
While the Koenig case was occupy
ing the attention Of one federal grand
jury, Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
was appearing before another which
is concluding it's inquiry into the case
of Franz Won Rintelen, charged with
instigating strikes in munition factor
iey
After leaving the grand jury room
Mr.. Gompers declared that he knew
Of no instance in which any leader
of organized labor had been cor
rupted by German agents. He inti-
mated, however, that he had informa-
ton in regard to attempts being made
to bribe union heads. Mr.. Gompers
will resume his testimony tomorrow
when Frank Morrison, secretary of
the Federation or Labor, also will ap-
pear before the jury.
