Windnagle can beat Overton in the sprint

Washington, May 26.--The contest for
the Republican nomination for president
is all settled, in the opinion OF Senator
Wesley l.. Jones of Washington. Hughes
is the man, Senator Jones says, and his
victory in Oregon clinched his chances.
"The Oregon primary showed that, if
proof was required They want to nomi-
nate a Republican not identified with the
fractional fight of 1912. And | want to
add, that this talk about how Justice
Hughes stands on this or that issue
makes me tired. If Hughes is nominated
at Chicago, he will stand for the princi-
pies laid down in the Republican plat
form. just as any other nominee would.
And if Hughes cannot ruG on the princi

PEACE FOR ALL,
SAYS WILSON
Tells Callers Intervention Could Rest
Only on a Mutual Understanding
By the Belligerents.

, Washington, May 26.--President Viii
son told callers yesterday that the inter
yention of neutral in behalf of peace in
Europe could rest only on mutual un.
Outstanding by the. belligerents that
terms to be arranged are to conserve the
interests of all and of the world at large,
rather than those of a particular nation
or group of nations among the warning
powers.
! Mr.. Wilson did not disclose any definite
plan OF action he may have formulated in
regard to peace, nor authorize a formal
statement OF his attitude. His callers
gained an impression however, that the
president would entertain suggestions
that he extend his good offices to the
| belligerents to bring about peace only
when the conditions he outlined were
likely of fulfillment.
Those who discussed the general sub
ject of peace with Mr.. Wilson construed
his remarks as probably forecasting to
some extent what he will say here later
in the week, addressing the League to
Enforce Peace.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out to his callers
that there are many elements in the sit |
aution in Europe, all of which must b.
taken into account in consideration of I
peace proposals. While he is eager to I
see the conflict ended as soon as possible, /
the White House visitors were able to
gather no impression that a move by the
United States to bring it about is in i'm
mediate prospect, at least.
Representative Hensley OF Missouri
discussed with Mr. Wilson his amend Il
ment to the naval bill authorizing the
president to invite other nations to par
ticipate in conference at the close OF
the war with the object of setting up
court or other tribunal to settle inter
disputes. Mr.. Hensley told the
president that he believed this amend
ment made the naval bill an assurance
to foreign nations that the United States
was arming for defense only.
The president did not commit himself |
definitely to the amendment. but Mr..
Hensley gained the impression that he !!
was favorable to the general principles
involved
Mr. Hensley left the White House sat. !
sfied that the president would do every
hing possible to bring about peace in r
Europe and to maintain it after the end !
If the war
Mr.. Hensley told the president he saw
10 reason why the time should not come \
when an International court would have
he same standing as the United States
upreme court, and when its decisions h
would be respected in the same way. !

TO SAVE WAITE.
Defense in Murder Case Begins Its Cam
paign.

| pdlgn.
| New York, May 26.--The fight to save
DIR. Arthur Warren Waite from the cleo
trio chair began yesterday before Justice
Shearn in the criminal branch of the SUI
preme court. The prosecution closed its
case Wednesday and the defense mar
shalled alienists and relatives of the ae-
cused man to prove that he was insane
when he killed his wealthy father in law,
John +. Peck of Grand Rapids, Mich, bv
giving him repeated doses of arsenic. 1t
is understood the defense will make no
claim that Waite is insane at the present
time.
Walter r. Deuel., counsel for Waite, be.
gan his opening address for the defense
when the hearing was resumed yesterday
morning. Mr.. Deuel. said he expected to
finish the case for the defense by to-
night.
Waite, as boy, was cruel to animals,
developed a habit of lying and used TO
steal from boarders in his home and from
classmates at school and college, accord
ing to Clyde Waite of Grand Rapids, a
brother of the defendant.
The prosecution introduced a check for
$4,000 drawn by Doctor Waite to the
order of the witness. The prosecution
also read letter from Doctor Waite,
promising Clyde $4,000 if he needed it
to buy a farm and telling him he could
have more If he wanted il.

Minority of House Commit
tee Attack Leaders
Naval Bill
THEY FILE SEVEN
OBJECTIONS
Expert Opinion Ignored by
the Majority, They
Say

Washington, May 26.--Declaring tina
the bill reported by Chairman Padgett 0
the House naval committee Wednesda.
is inadequate, minority members of tn
committee yesterday submitted a pro
gramme which would place the United
States navy second among world fleets
Seven objections are urged to the com
mittee report;
First-That the bill disregards every
plan suggested by naval authorities fol
development of the navy
Second-That the increase is a mere
arbitrary allotment of ships, made with
out regard to the position of our navy as
compared with that of any other naval
power.
Third--That provisions relative to the
enlisted personnel do not meet the re-
quirements OF the navy for additional
men.
Fourth That provision for submarines
is wholly inadequate.
Fifth--That provision for aircraft de
velopment is inadequate.
Sixth-That no provision for the es
Enlistment of a council of national de-
Tense is made.
Seventh--That no limitation of time
for completion of ships is made
The minority report recommends the
programme which the general board said
would be necessary to place the navy in
second place. This provides for two
dreadnouehts. six battle cruisers, 80 SUD-
marines, an approximate increase of IS
900 men and S3,500000 for aviation as
against no dreadnoughts, five battle
cruisers. 20 submarines, 1850 additional
men and 100000 for aviation provided
in the committee bill A corresponding
increase in auxiliary vessels is recon
mended,
''The minority is of the opinion that a
council of defense would greatly increase
the efficiency of both the army and the
navy the report says, and urges The
creation of such body, to consist OF the
president, the secretaries of state, war
and navy. chairmen Of House and Senate |
committees on foreign relations, military
affairs. naval affairs and appropriations,
the chief of staff of the army. naval |
officer to be named by the secretary OF
the navy and the presidents of the army |
and navy war colleges.
"The majority report states that the
increase of 1880 men for the navy and
3,079 men for the marine corps provided
in the bill in effect carries out the rec
Of the general board,
The minority statement adds This is
wholly misleading. The general board
recommends an increase of not less than
$4,000 for the navy alone, and that the
marine corps be increased to and main
tanned at 90 per cent of the navy"
The building programme ignores the
recommendation of the navy as expressed
BY the general board the chief of opera
ions, admirals in command of the fleets /
md every other officer appearing before
he committee" :
Lack of men, the report asserts, is re-
ponsible for the present condition of the
lavy, comparatively new ships having
'een stripped of men and put in the re-
erve. The report recommends enlist
nent up to s2,762 men. The present
trength is 1000
While the minority made no estimate, |
avail experts say approximately $780, t
10000 should be added to the building s
rogramme of the majority.
