World Peace Move.

Washington, May "a. = President
Wilson, speaking at the opening of the
Pan-American financial conference
here today, expressed the hope that
the Americas might show the world
the path to peace. The president was
loudly applauded by the delegates as
he entered the hall Of the Americas in
the Pan-American Union building,
where the meetings are being held.
/, On the platform were members of
the union, while the audience included
many high government officials, in ad-
'dition to the representatives of South
and Central American countries.
The president declared the people Of
the Americas were not trying to make
use of one another but were trying to
be Of use to one another. He spoke
of the "handsome rivalry which he
said was good for nations. The lack Of
physical means of communication be-
tween the Americas, he said stood
somewhat In the way of develop
ment of commerce and friendship" In
advocating more ships in Panaman
trade and the opening of thru routes,
the president said that II private capi-
tai can not establish such means Of
communication the government must
undertake to do SO.
At the conclusion of the presidents
address he was applauded again. He
remained in the hall while representa-
atives of the different nations responded
to his welcome.

BOWERS DOESN'T KNOW.
Former Colorado Mine Official Witness
Before Industrial Commission.

Washington, May 24.-E. NJ. Bowers,
former vice president of the Coloraoo
Steel and Iron company, ana no"
member of the personal staff or Johh
D. Rockefeller, Jr. was the first WIZ
ness today at the resumption OF the
federal Industrial relations commission
inquiry into conditions in the Colorado
coal fields.
Bowers testified he was not connect-
ed with the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany and had nothing to do with the
conduct of the strike in any way. Al
though he was treasurer OF the COM
pany and chairman of the executive
| board, he know nothing of expenditures
+, for arms and ammunition or mine
guards. ~
! Chairman Walsh quoted letter
from Bowers to Rockefeller. Announce
ing his determination to continue the
fight against the strikers until their
bones are bleached white as chalk III
those Rocky Mountains Bowers says
he considered the strike contest for
individual and industrial independ-
ence"
Walsh read another letter to Mr..
Rockefeller praising the latter's testi-
mony before the house committee by
Investigation of the Colorado coal sit
uation.
Il believe the position You have so
ruggedly maintained will do more Tor
the millions Of laboring men than all
the efforts of social forces in many
yeaSs" he wrote.
1T will set thousands of faltering
employees to thinking and inspire con-
fdence and spur them to activity in
opposing the schemes of political, So
cial and religious demagogues who are
in the clutches of the labor union lead
ers whose aim is to shut the open
shops
The letter closed with the following:
Now for an aggressive warfare. TIC
1916 and beyond for the open shop"
Were the political wire pullers you
mentioned here the members of the
committee Of representatives OF the po-
pie acting with the authority of the
house ?" asked the chairman"
THAT was private correspondence
responded Bowers, THAT was letter
between business friends and was new
er expected to be made public He
added he believed "the committee was
made up in political matter that was
not fair to those under investigation
Mr.. Walsh spoke Of the letter In
which Bowers wrote Of giving "taffy''
to Governor Ammons.
Ibid your mother ever spank you
and then give you piece of candy or
a cookie? ?" returned the witness.
The commission and the spectators
Joined In laughter. as Mr.. Walsh an
swered. "She certainly did,"
We'll. that Is Just what meant
Then your political policy as rep
preventative OF the Rockefeller inter-
ests," said the chairman, "is that when
public official does not do what you
want him to do. you spank him and
when he does what you think Is right
you give him piece Of candy$"
That's right"
The "whipping into line" of Cover

ROOSEVELT VERDICT COMMENT.
Old Guard Of G. o. P. Will Be Divided
on How to Obtain colonel's Support.

on How to Obtain Colonoto support. 2
Washington. May 24.-Republican
and democratic politicians In the ma
tional capital have been discussing to.
day the effect of the verdict for Colonel
Roosevelt at Syracuse.
There Is q general agreement that
the victory constitutes complete vindl-
cation for the colonels course pur.'
sued at Chicago in 1912. The repub.
lican convention there was absolutely
dominated by"Boss" Barnes. He was
the general in command of the stand
pat forces 1t was his program which
was carried out so ably by Senator
Elihu Root. who was the presiding
officer Of the convention. It was his
orders which were obeyed in connection
with the seating Of delegates from con-
tested districts and which were re-
sponsible for holding the majority as
unit.
Now Barnes is completely discrsd-
tied. The Syracuse jury has declared
that Colonel Roosevelt was justified In
terming him a corrupt boss. It will not
be possible for the Albany editor again
to take command In a convention.
OF the men who worked with Barnes
at Chicago. there will go to the next
convention. Root Of New York. Smoot
of Utah. Penrose OF Pennsylvania and
Gallinger of New Hampshire. Messrs.
Root and Smoot certainly will not again
oppose the colonel. While Penroee was
re- elected senator from Pennsylvania,
he will have little influence outside his
own state delegation.
Gallinger is too old to make any
sort OF a strong fight. In other words.
the anti Roosevelt men will be divided.
This division. 1t Is interesting to note.
viii be not over the question OF the
elimination OF the colonel. as It was
three years ago. but on how to obtain
his support
Mr.. Root, for instance. Is entirely,
willing to Join with the colonel. What
the stand patters want Is q nominee
who will be satisfactory to Mr.. Roose-
Welt. They do not want him ~ the
standard bearer. but they fear this
may come. upon the demand OF the
convention itself.
So far as the platform Is concerned
they are perfectly willing TO take the
document approved by the progressive
convention. with the exception OF tho
decisions
The administration keenly regrets
the Syracuse verdict. It reali1es that
this verdict win strengthen the colonel.
II appreciates further that II has made
mistake in not doing everythin1 it
could to help the progressive party.
Some Of the presidents advisers at
the beginning OF his administration
urged him to give a large share oe
patronage to the progressivsA In this
way to help them build up an orSAni-
zation which would assure their eoR>
tinuance as party
The demand Of deserving demo.
Gratis" to use Mr.. Bryan's term, vas
so insistent, however. that the presi>
dent was forced to heed It. Now thae
administration is preparing to face =
reunited party. SssS

London, May 24.-With Italy deh-
nitely committed to the side of the al
lies, all eyes In London today were
centered chiefly on the probable ac-
ton OF the Balkan states.
One report says that Roumania
seems anxious to- ascertain the out
come OF the great Galician battles be-
fore she definitely decides on war or
continued neutrality. Bulgaria also is
said to be waiting for more definite
.es.!.S G. .hs Daa--aassnelles
Both Roumania and Bulgaria there
fore may delay their decision for some
time, as Russia has commenced her
ter-offensive against the Austro-
Germans who drove her third and Car
pathian armies back to the San and
-Dniester rivers, and an entirely new
battle is developing.
Greece is closely following the situa-
ton as regards the relations between
Austria and Italy, and dispatches from
Athens state that the war part Is now
gaining in strength and that the re-
call of ex-Premier Eleutherios Veni-
zelos is imminent.
