their destination or fate. The anguish
was renewed night after night dur
ing the 10 days of Easter.
The protests of Mayors and other
officials went unheeded. A bishop who
intervened personally was told by a
general: "You, bishop, shut up anu
be off,"
At the beginning of the deporta-
tions some girls of the aristocracy
were seized, but they were soon re-
leased as were also daughters of
those in the houses where German
officers were billeted.
A large proportion of the young
women taken belonged to the servant
class, several Of whom volunteered

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 3, Pro-

ference here today to consider the

John M. Parker, of Louisiana, nomi-
nee for Vice-President.
John M. Parker, who issued the
call for the conference, arrived last
night and conferred with Progress
,sive leaders from other states, bu.
no definite plan has been agreed upon
for today's conference.
A majority of the party represen-
atves who are here are in favor of
nominating candidate for President.
admit that the principal objection to
the plan is the apparent lack Of
available candidates. Victor Muir
dock, of Kansas, apparently is the
choice Of majority Of Progressives
for President, but he has declined to
make the race. Bainbrdge Colby, o.
New York. who made -thr4..fa;-,- r.t.~n;-r--;,..-,
sive National Convention in Chicago
last June, is mentioned as n posi-
bic candidate, Lut his friends believe
he will decline to run.
Another suggestion is that Parker
be named for President and another
canndidate selected for Vice-P President.
A few of the Progressives from!
Eastern, States will, it is said, op-
pose the naming of Il third ticket an!
either urge the Endorsement OF Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson or fight to
have the conference adjourn without
taking action of any kind. They dou:t
whether a majority of the delegates
to the Progressive National Conven-
ton would respond to Il call to reas-
semble at this late date and believe
it would be mistake to attempt to
tut third ticket in the field in view
or existing conditions. ~"
While the leaders who will attend
the conference are divided as to the
wisdom of naming national ticket a.
this time they are Il unit in pre-
testing against the action: Of the
Bull Moose national committee in in
uorsng Hughes and favor: some ac-
ton, which will tend. to perpefuatt

was the first woman Progressive to
arrive for conference, and she favors
naming third ticket, Cambridge
Colby, of New York, Matthew Hale.

Three players are lighting hard Tor

Stanford and Manghum are the men
striving for the top place in the stand

Bontz is the leader. having an average
of 106-46; Stanford is second with
1850, and Manghum is third with
1O5-1s The other records OF the

it has never been far in front, it has
managed to maintain a certain dis

front of the runner-up all season, and
is likely to continue to do SO. The
Shermans are second in the standing,
just four games behind the Royals.
and both clubs are so far ahead of the
others that the possibility of either be-

most precluded.
