Former Secretary Meyer to Manage His Pre-COnven-
 tion Campaign
WANT ALABAMA TO
 YIELD TO NEW YORK
Hitchcock Plans to Have Hughes Name Presented to the Convention First-May Mean Interesting
 Fight Between Leaders

Chicago, May 29.-Republican Roosevelt headquarters were opened here today by Herbert L. Satterlee and Lawrence Gra- ham of New York, and active work get ting delegate votes for the candidate be- gun. The headquarters were opened sev- eral hours before Colonel Roosevelt ar rived here en route to Kansas City, where he is to deliver an address tomorrow.
 George Von l.. Meyer, former Secretary of the Navy, is expected in Chicago to- morrow to assume charge of the pre- convention campaign for Roosevelt.
 Indications are that the plan of Frank H. Hitchcock to have the name of Charles E. Hughes presented to the re- publican national committee as the first candidate may result in an interesting fight between the Root, Roosevelt and Hughes forces. Hitchcock's s arrangement is that when the roll of states is called in alpha betical order to make nomina- tions for President to have Alabama, the first on the list, yield in favor of New York; that Hughes may have the advan- tage of having his name presented first.

MT. Hughes has shown his unsel- fishness and his breadth of vision by his repeated pleas for the election of Republican Congress as well as a Republican president. He is not for Hughes First" He is for Republi- can principles first, realizing that the establishment and maintenance of those principles is essential to the permanent welfare and prestige of the nation . He wants Republican Congress to enact the laws which a Republican President will sign, re- storing to this country the sound economic policies upon which ou, prosperity has invariably been found, ed. Keep this in mind when you vote

From the great policy of "watchful waiting" we now have the splendid watchword from Senator Ashurst of "wait until after election and sec" We are great country. Congress is not willing to pass anything special just before electiou-unless it takes affect after the election. They have the Courage of their convictions" but seem to feel that they would heap rather the people would try the "durned" laws after the election was over; if elected again they could then know better what, to avoid and ex- plain away.

At mass meeting of trade union ists at Kennywood Park, near Pitts burg, Pa., on last Labor Day, James Wilson, president of the Pattern Mak- ers' League of America, said:
 '1 would rather have seen the wheels of industry stop than that the Congress of the United States should regulate the hours of labor and rates of wages for free men,"
 The dominant note of MT. Wilson's address was plea to organized work CTS to induce the unorganized to join the movement. He upheld the forced

This campaign has produced one organization that is unique. It is composed of men who voted for Will son in 1912 and who intend to vote for Hughes this year. The ritual of the organization is interesting. To qualify for membership one must be asked, "Did you vote for Wilson four years ago?" Whereupon he replies "Yes, dammit" The institution is in creasing rapidly in all parts of the country.

The southern democratic papers either by accident or design, seem to have misplaced the capital "H" on their keyboard since the recent pri- maries.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April S.-Be-
cause of many protests against the re-

ternal revenue collectors 10 extend tile
income tax laws operation after May
I, to nonresident alien owners of
American securities, complainant5
against the ruling will be given hear
ing here April IS. Commissioner Os-
born, of the internal revnue bureau, will
preside.
The chief basis of the protests, it is
said, is the contention that the supreme
courts recent decision in the Brusnaber
case, unfolding the cOnstitutionality of
the law, is open to different itnerpTeta-
tions with regard to its enforcement
where alien owners of American securi-
ties are concerned. New York bankers
and brokers and security holders in diff
ferent parts Of the country have COM
planned. and some individual protests
have been received from London and
Amsterdam,
The complainants assert that enforce
ment of the ruling would tend to lower
the value of American securities abroad.

Honeymoon Wins
R5ght-of- W0y OUer
European War

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April S.-The
war Of Europe's kings has caused most
unusual honeymoon for Louis El Cleve,
son OF = Montreal banker, and his young
bride Of three months, VINO arrived here
recently.
They will be together just three
months more and then the husband, on
the eve OF his twenty-fourth birthday
must go away to war. That's the
pledge he made in order TO have a
honeymoon at all.
This IS the story. After they were
married I'm Montreal, they went TO Aus
traiia. Their pleasure was spoiled
there.
Cleve found that under the new meas
ure prohibiting men OF military age from
departing from Australia he must re
main in the country and enlist. When
he tried to board a steamer for the
United States he was stopped. His petit
tions to the war office officials were
futile.
If Cleve would promise to join Ca
madam regiment and go TO the front
within six months he could leave the
country. The young husband was placed
on his honor 20 join the British colors
before July.

CHANDLER CONFEssES
TO MANY BURGLARIES
Prisoner Admits He Stole TO
Start a Motion Picture
Show

The mystery surrounding the theft
Of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry
from fashionable Atlanta homes during
the past several weeks has been cleared
up by the police through q remarkable
confession made to Chief of Detectives
y A. Lanford yesterday afternoon by
A. p. Chandler, proprietor of q movie
theater at lIillen, Ga.
In his confession made in the presence
Of several city detectives and 4 Jour
nal reporter, Chandler took the blame
entirely upon himself for all Of the rob-
berries and in addition promised the Of
flcers that he would accompany them
on tour of the city tomorrow and point
out to them every home he has entered
during his extensive operations here.
Chandler, too, was magnanimous
enough to absolve from all connection
with his crimes, Daniel Belmont and
his wife, Mrs. Ethel Belmont and Miss
Katherine Hodges, an actress, all of
whom have been held in connection with
the series of burglaries. In this con-
nection, however, the prisoner told the
authorities that the proceeds from
majority of his thefts had been sent to
Belmont in Millen to finance his NOV
ing picture business there, as the lat
ter was acting as his manager
AS a result of Chambers story, the
two women, Mrs. Belmont and Miss
Hodges, have been released. Belmont,
however. is held for receiving stolen
goods and will probably be arrigned be-
fore Judge George z. Johnson in re-
corder's court for a commitment hear
ing at the same time that the principal
is expected to enter his plea.
During his confession, Chandler alb
solutely lost his former composure and
several times broke down and sobbed
bitterly. He declared that he and he
alone had broken into the houses and
that he had no accomplish with him at
the time of any of the robberies.
Going into specific instances, the
prisoner declared that on one occasion
he visited ten homes in night, but
was successful only in one of them. He
expressed regret for his acts and de-
cIared that he would do, everything in
his power to assist the police in recov-
ering all the stolen property possible
The police will accept Chambers in
vitation to visit the homes he confessed
to have burglarized and plan to make
the trip some time Monday.
