common understanding. The state
ment stood pat on the Chicago state
ment Of last January. 1t said:
reports from the Progressive organ
ization throughout the country show
that the American people have become
impatient of leaders who hold that
camfort, prosperity and material well
fare are above honor, self-sacrifce and
patriotism; that we need a reawaken-
ing Of our older Americanism, Of our
belief in those things that our country
and our flag stand for; that our people
are seeking a leadership of the highest
order and most courageous character,
leadership that will draft to itself for
the country's benefit the unselfish and
patriotic service of our ablest citizens.
Our people are demanding that princi-
/ Piles and policies shall be proclaimed
and carried out by man who has the
wisdom to formulate them and the man
hood 10 uphold them.
1.-THE Republicans and independent
voters in general have responded un-
| derstandingly TO the sentiments eX-
pressed in the statement issued by our
| national committee last January. But
/ there is an element in the Republican
party leadership which seems TO be Civ
/ ing more thought and attention TO what
that party is against and whom IT is
against than to what il is for and whom
I it is for. Therefore, we again call at
| tention to our Chicago statement as
/ TO the inevitable outcome of failure
/ to reach common understanding.
No Partisan Bitterness.
eve again pledge our party to
approach the consideration of the
issues involved this year without any
desire TO revive partisan bitterness. IL
the Republican convention IS respon-
sive TO the patriotic spirit that brought
/ the Republican party into being and
made it dominant for half century,
il will meet this crisis in q spirit Of
broad patriotism that rises above
partisanship. Should the effort fail,
the responsibility for the result will
not rest on the Progressive convention
but will rest on other shoulders than
ours.
I'm this turning point in world his
tory, we will not stick on details. We
will lay aside partisanship and preju-
dice. but we will never surrender the
principles for which we stand and have
stood and will follow only a leader
who we know stands for them and is
able to put them through. We are for
peace, but not for peace at any price"
Temporary organization of the con-
vention was discussed, but announce
ment of its chairman was withheld I'M

thousand delegates at the convention,

SWAMI YIELDS
FAKE FAD" LAW
Says Some Heads Held
High in Business Are
Going to Get Hit.

"Sone men who are holding their
heads pretty high in the business world
are going TO get hit by the new law
against fake advertising" said District
Attorney Swami yesterday 70 two hun.
dred members Of the Arkwright Club
during its luncheon at 800 Broadway.
your District Attorney has already
caught one of these fellows on Fifth
Avenue, and he is now the most con-
trite person imaginable"
Mr.. Swami said the Fifth Avenue
merchant must have been ignorant OF
the Supreme Court decision in the
New South Farm and Home Company,
in which the concern was fined for
making misleading representations in
its advertisements.
"The New York State law against
fake advertising went into effect last
September" continued the District At
torney. 1T was strengthened by the
Federal decision, which holds that even
where a purchaser gets his moneys
worth he is none the less defrauded
when he has been misled by the rep
reservations Of the seller.
"The law does not even say that the
Misrepresentation must be false. We
all realize that the purchaser hasn't
the time 20 investigate the advertising
claims of all who would sell him goods.
Some persons hold that this obligation
rests upon the purchaser. and that he
should investigate the character Of the
person with whom he trades.
an this age Of greac business extern
sion we have outgrown that idea. We
now realize that the law must protect
the purchaser. In that respect We have
outgrown the ideas of the founders Of
the Republic. Another means by which
business is being purified is by enforc-
ing the regulations of the Bureau Of
Weights and Measures. That bureau
in this city is no longer an institution
in name only. We went before the cleo
torate on the principle that a District
Attorney should keep abreast OF the
spirit of the times. and one Of the first
things | did after my election was 70
appoint lawyer as my assistant who
is familiar with accounting and com.
mercial frauds. | made that man head
of my new bureau Of commercial frauds.
"The case Of the merchant on Fifth
Avenue is only one ur scores Of slmi lar
instances where this bureau has OBJ
tanned convictions. He was given
suspended sentence, but am sure that
in him we will have very honest bust
ness man hereafter 10 honor the great
est trading thoroughfare in this half OF
the globe"
The District Attorney ended his talk
with a plea for preparedness, saying
that West Point and Annapolis are not
sufficient as training camps for the ma
ton. He said the country needs mill
tsry training in all schools and col
leges.

HUGHES FAVORED
BY WICKERSHAM
Latter Thinks Justice the
Man to Unite the
Republicans.

Ex-Attorney General George w
Wickersham declared himself yester-
day in favor of the nomination of JUS
tice Hughes as the man who Will unite
all the factions of the party" The
former Attorney Generals statement
is regarded as a telling blow at the
candidacy of Mr. Root. The two men
are closely associated in their profess
sional and social life, and during the
recent Constitutional Convention Mr..
Wickersham was the former Senator'S
right hand man. Mr. Wickersham said
ne could not see how Justice Hughes
could refuse if the nomination was
rendered him.
In his statement Mr. Wickersham
eulogized Mr.. Root "a the ablest public
man. in America, but he declared that
if nominated Mr.. Root would not be
elected because the latter did not seem
TO him TO possess the confidence Of a
large section OF the party. Mr.. Wicker
sham was Attorney General in Presi-
dent Taft's Cabinet, at which time Mr.
Root was in the Senate.
Asked why he did not unite with the
seventy-fve Republicans who signed
the Root petition, Mr.. Wickersham
said:
mo, did not unite with the seventy
five Republicans in signing the state
ment declaring in favor of Mr.. Root.
IL. by my signature, | could make him
President, ] would do so. But | was
convinced then, and on subsequent re-
Election, that Mr.. Root cannot be NOM
mated, and, probably, if nominated, ne
would not be elected. He is unques-
tionably the ablest public man in
America to-day. but think the fact Is
that he does not possess the confidence
of a very large section of the party.
"The Republican party at Chicago
must nominate man who Will unite
all the factions Of the party, and who
can certainly be elected. ] see but one
such man, and that is Justice Hughes.
deprecate, as do many others, the
necessity of going TO the Supreme
Court for a candidate, but Mr.. Hughes
is not the candidate Of a party or
ganization-he is the candidate OF the
people composing the party. He has
not sought the nomination. On the
contrary, he has done everything which
he could do with propriety to pre-
vent it.
"If the nomination is rendered to
him at Chicago, do not see how he
could possibly refuse it. His attitude
up to the present time has been scrup-
uiously correct. A judge of the Su-
preme Court cannot be a candidate,
and cannot appear TO be candidate;
but neither a judge of the Supreme
Court, nor any other citizen, can say
that, if in a great emergency, the peo-
pie call TO him TO be their standard
bearer, he will not heed the call"

OPPOSE WATERSHED BILL
Merchants Association Asks Governor
to Set Date for Hearing.

The Merchants Association has re-
ouested Governor Whitman to set a
date for a hearing on the Croton water
shed bill introduced by Senator Elon
K. Brown. In letter to the Governor
he is reminded that the city is against
the bill and that the association will
ask him not to approve it.
Senator Browns bill was presented
as a compromise measure after three
bills introduced by Senator Wagner
providing for the removal OF the
Mohansic State Hospital and the New
York State Training School for Boys
from the watershed. and prohibiting
the location of state institutions in the
watershed, had been smothered in COM
mittee. The Merchants Association
declares Senator Browns bill fails 20
provide the protection sought by the
Wagner bills.

P. S. C. RAPS ESTIMATE BOARD
Tells Mayor Transit Work Is Waiting
for Cable Duet Contracts.

The need for speedy approval OF Ger

several OF the rapid transit lines may
he made ready for operation as quickly
as possible. particularly the lines in
Queens, was pointed out in a letter
sent 70 Mayor Mitchell yesterday by
Chairman Oscar S. Straus Of the Pub
lie Service Commission.
Chairman Straus pointed out that be-
cause OF the attitude Of the Board OF
Estimate and its failure so far to act,
the commission was unable TO obtain
approval of the contracts for the con-
struction of duct lines.
This portion of the rapid transit work
is at a standstill, he declared, and
even If approval of the duct lines were
given at once they could scarcely be
completed before the other units of the
Queens lines are ready for operation.

Congress Believes He
Alone Can Induce House
to Yield on Bill.
URGE BUILDING UP
OF TRAINING CAMPS
Champions OF Volunteer Reserve
Seek COncession-Nayal
Funds Bill Ready.
[Yrnn The Trihunc Rur.su.l

Washington, May Members OF
both Houses of Congress believed to-
night that President Wilson should in
dictate clearly his views on the size of
the regular army and the volunteer re-
serve. Whether he favors real or sham
preparedness is believed to have been
put squarely up to him by to-dsy's de-
velopments.
100000 men and for a volunteer army,
the Senate conferrees refused to dis
cuss compromises with the House rep
resentatives. The ccnferrees are still
deadlocked.
With the big vote of the House
against an army of 250. 900 men, the
House conferrees felt that they could
not yield, even if the volunteer army
were surrendered by the Senate con-
ferrees. Prior to the votes taken in
the two houses, the conferrees had ten
tatively agreed on an army of about
10000 men. The House members
specified, however, that in return for
this concession the volunteer army
must be killed.
senate IonterTeeS flrm.
But with the vote of the Senate be-
hind them the Senate conferrees to-
day stood firmly for the 100000 army
and the volunteer army. All they were
willing TO concede ives TO yield TO the
House provision for a nitrate plant,
with an appropriation of S20,000,00O,
instead of the Senate's provision for
$4,000, 900.
1t was believed here tonight that
President Wilson. by a turn of his
hand, could score victory for the ade-
quate army men. Belief in the House
is that despite the big vote against
100000 army on Monday a provision
for 100000 men could be passed easily.
Many representatives who voted against
the 100000 army told The Tribune that
they would have voted for a number
far in excess of the House provision,
which allows only 100000 men. The
vote on a 100000 army in the House,
which was defeated by a majority Of
only twenty-five, was pointed to.
Up to President.
II has been the firm belief in the
House that President Wilson could
have obtained the passage by the
House of the Kahn amendment for an
army of 100000 1t is believed now
that he could induce the House TO
yield to the Senate for an army OF
100000 or secure a liberal compromise.
1t is also believed, though not quite
so confidently, that he could persuade
the House to yield on the volunteer
army. What he will do Is awaited
with the most intense interest in view
of the present stalemate between the
conferrees.

Colonel Criticises Wilson.
In commenting on the note yester-
day morning the Colonel said: "The
latest Wilson note to Germany is up
to the usual standard Of ultimatums,
but don't care for ultimatums which
don't ultimate, whether they be TO Car
rama, Villa or the German Empire.
at is peculiar that we adopt one
standard toward Hayti, because it is
small, and another toward Mexico, be-
cause it is bigger. Such an attitude
is indefensible."
Callers on Colonel Roosevelt during
the day were Robert Bacon, former Am
bassador to France; Marion Butler
United States Senator from North
Carolina from 1896 until 1901, and
Judge Charles II. Murray.
The Colonel returned to Oyster Bay

SIMPLE RULES FOR FIGURES
Remembering These, One May Always
Be Sure as to the Divisibility
Of Numbers.

II is often convenient to know
whether given number is Invisible
by another without going through the
usual process of division. Almost ev-
eryone knows that, however large a
number may be, 1t is divisible by 5
If the last digit is or O. The follow
ing gives the rule for some other num-
bers:
A number is divisible by . when the
last digit is divisible by 2: by three
when the sun of the digits is Invisible
by 3; by when the number repre-
sented by the last two digits is divis-
ible by 4; by when the number ends
In or O; by 6 when it is divisible by
2 and also by 3; by when the num-
Der represented by the lest three dig
its is divisible by 8; by when the
sum of the digits is Invisible by 9.
For example: The number 1.72S is
Invisible by 2. because its last digit, s,
is divisible by 2: by 4. because % is
Invisible by 4, and by s, because 1913
is Invisible by s. II is also Invisible
by 8 and by 9. for the sum of it's digits
total is. number divisible by and
by 9. Since it is divisible by 2 and
by 3, it is also Invisible by 6.
To find whether = number IS divis-
ible by Z. you must go through the
usual process of division.-Youth's
Companion.
