president Wilson seems to feel that
TO differ with him on his conception
OF neutrality is mark Of disloyalty,
and that the fact that citizen so diff
fering with him happens to have been
born in Germany suffices to impeach
his motives and to deny him his rights
as a citizen. This sort of thing is q
dangerous innovation. It arouses race
feeling, if not hatred, and should be
resented

do not agree with Mr.. Wilson in these

HAVE MANY TILTS
"Oliver Osborne's" Former Wife
Says Accused Man Was Not
Her Husband.

Yesterdays session Of the Rae Tan
ger perjury trial reached a wild climax
shortly before o'clock, when Miss
Tanner becams hysterical and was car
ried sobbing from the Federal District
Court.
As she was borne from the room
Benjamin Slade, her attorney, rose to
ask that the case be adjourned until
Monday. Judge wolverton stoutly rs.
fused. Three times moro Mr.. Slade
made his request, which each time was
met by an order from the bench to go
en- with the cross examination OF the
witness who was on the stand. At the
final order Mr.. Slade became defiant.
He dropped into his chair and cried:
81 refuse to proceed In the absence
of my client"
His stout determination carried his
point. Judge Wolverton yielded and ct
once directed an adjournment
There had been no want Of action In
the days session up TO the Anal climax,
Mr.. Slads and Judge Wolvsrton were
in almost constant battle, and several
times the attorney was sternly ad-
monished from tho bench, as he had
been the day before. At one point in
the proceedings Mr.. Slsde threw his
papers disgustedly u iis table and
openly designated the trial as the
greatest farce he had ever seen.
Important testimony was given dur
ing the session by Mrs. Stewart Dem
ham, in whose boarding house the
mysterious Oliver Osborne's trunks
were found by Federal officers, and by
Mrs. Ethel Brooks Nye, who declares
she was divers wife, Both witnesses
denied that James W. Osborne, whom
Miss Tanner swears was "her own
oliver" was the man they had known.
As Mrs. Denham took the stand Mr..
Slads sent a thrill through the specta-
tors in the courtroom when he an
nounced:
81 am going TO prove that these
trunks were a plant, that Oliver Os-
borne was a plant, and that il was all
a part of q plan conceived by James
w. Osborne to send this little girl to
prison. The object was to save this
hound Osborne and several other peo-

paign. Mr. Borah would not reveal
what was said.
Former Governor Gillette, OF Call
fornia, declared that the Progressives
in his state all would vote for Hughes.
"The California Republicans and
Progressives will get together just as
in every other section of the country,
and California will give Hughes a ma
jority Of at least 100000"
Kansas for Hughes by $4,000, was
the prediction Of Senator Curtis, while
Representative Austin declared that
Tennessee would go Republican next
fall for the first time in years.
"No one can realize who has not
been down South, the strong Hughe,
sentiment" said Mr.. Austin. 81 told
Mr. Hughes that he ought to include
the South in his speaking tour, espe-
cially Tennessee"
All Not Political
But all the callers were not there on
political missions. Scores Of friends Of
Mr.. Hughes and his family who live
here came to pay respects and say
goodby.
The sightseeing wagons passed the
Hughes house slowly to-day, while the
man with the megaphone informed the
visitors of its distinguished occupant.
One megaphone man shouted-to his
passengers:
Ladies and gentlemen, that house
on the corner, the red brick one with
the crowd standing outside, is the home
of the next President OF the United
States"
He was cheered.

Oyster Bay, Juno 17.-Leaving George
W. Perkins in charge OF the peace ne
ROTATIONS between the Progressives
and the Republicans, Colonel Roosevelt
motored from New York to Sagamore
Hill to-day. On his arrival he began
work in his library just as though there
were no such thing known to the medi-
cal world as pleurisy.
Mr.. Perkins Is authority for the state
ment that these negotiations looking
toward peace are developing satisfac-
torily.
There are" said he, when pressed
by the reporters who awaited the Colo
nels departure from the Langdon, "a
number of conferences under way.
Nothing definite can be said at this
time. but | believe they are proceeding
in . very friendly manner and most
satisfactorily"
To the successful termination Of the
peace negotiations there are two con-
siderable obstacles-one the irreconcil-
ables among the Progressives, the other
that element among the Republicans
which insists that the Progressives
must come back in sscxcloth and ashes,
il at ell, and that nothing short OF
binding the Colonel 10 the chariot
wheels Of the "old guard" will be CON
sidered.
Crane a Friend Of Roosevelt.
The irreconcilable element in DC
Progressive group Of leaders is gradu-
ally growing weaker. This is in the
main due to the efforts of the Colonel
and to the opposition OF Perkins to
the rule-or-ruin policy. On the other
hand, ex-senator W. Murray Crane
most powerful of the "old guard" lead
ers, has no patience with those who
would unduly humilate the Progress
sives or Insist on Colonel Roosevelt
taking q rearmost seat on the mourn
ers' bench for all time.
Crane, say those who have talked
with him, realizes that the one question
before the house is the defeat of Will
son and Wilson policies; that TO solve
this is not going to be the easy task
some Of the New York leaders consider
it, and that Roosevelt is too big ar

cal potters' fcld-if IL were assumed
that this could be done. At no time
since 1912 has Crane spoken other thsn
in a kindly manner Of the Colonel, Tor
whom he has at all times expressed re-
spect az n man, and II he can have mis-
way Roosevelt will be asked to have
seat at tho head Of the table.
Others OF the "old guard" take this
same view, looking forward 10 possi-
BILE time In the fall when the campaign
NAV reach critical stage, and pinch
hitter will be needed. They realize that
there Ia no other man in America, who,
in such an emergency, could rouse the
country as Roosevelt could. and they
would like to be in position TO send
him TO bat.
They have no assurances that tho
Colonel will take the stump for Justice
Hughes, but they have hopes that II
the present situation Is handled prop
erly they may be in a position TO ex-
tend call that he would not refuse.
Anxious for Future OF Party.
One thing that bothers the Progress
sives is the future of their party. Some
Of those who are inclined TO listen TO

Hughes fear that this will mean the
death OF the party. The shrewder po-
litical observers are inclined to hold
this view. and declare that the plan TO
keep the national committee alive and
the New York headquarters open until
after election at least will not prevent
this result.
Raymond Robins, who presided at tho
Chicago convention and who was one
of the Colonel's visitors in New York
to-day, is one of those who would keep
the party alive at all costs. Hiram
Johnson, of California, who also saw
the Colonel, is Of this opinion, too, but
it is thought that even these men will
fall into line with tho majority Of the
national committee, who, it is thought.
will follow the ColonePs will at its
meeting June 26, and in one way or an
other approve Of the Endorsement OF
Hughes by him.
On these negotiations the Colonel Is
silent He talked with none Of the re-
porters in New York to-day, and this
evening sent out word from his desk at
Sycamore Hill that he had nothing to
say. A query as to how he felt brought

Colonel Hayward was assistant seere-

Two factors have worked against Mr..
hitchcock steadily. One was his "oid
guard" connections. The other was his
rspudiation at Chicago. after he said
that if nominated Mr.. Hughes would
accept.
Experience a Factor.
What has worked largely in Colonel
Eavward's favor has been his expert

and his joining hands with Governor
Whitman. Frederick c. Tanner, New
