GUN-PLAY near
|. DURING CONTEST
South Carolinian Reaches for
Gun When Attorney Calls
Him Crook"

Chicago. Ill, June 3.-Charges of brib'
cry and corruption brought tangible evil
dence of real preparedness to the atten-
ton of the Republican National commit
tee today. The man prepared was
National Committeeman Joseph Tolbert
of South Carolina, a tall mountaineer.
Tolbert made a quick movement toward
his pistol pocket when charges were
made against him by U. S. District At
torney John Philip Hill and only the
quick action of Reed Smoot kept Tolbert
from getting into action
The contest in which this incident play
ed so dramatic a part was the fourth
district of South Carolina. The seat of
a delegate named Adams was under con-
test.
The opponents of Adams produced evil
dence that five delegates to the district
convention were called out OF that con-
vention and in the presence of other del
egates paid from 500 to $500 each 10
change their votes. 1t was charged that
the votes of these purchased delegates
elected Adams a delegate to the National
convention.
John Phillip Hill was white with rage
when he arose to reply to this charge.
He declared that National Committeeman
Tolbert had framed up this evidence
and he even used the words Liar and
crook" 1t was then that the mountaineer
national committeeman reached for his
gun.
Later Committeeman Warren, of Mich
igan, objected to the way Hill was
conducting the case and Hill turned to
Warren and shouted:
Are you a member of this committee.
or the paid attorney of that crook"
Again it took two committeeman to hold
the Southerner in his seat.
Hill was finally disbarred from further
appearance before the committee and the
contesting Tolbert delegates were seated.

FEDERATION HAS
STORMY Session
President Lancaster De-
nounces Newman and Spurns
Offer of Meeting Place.

An offer by the District Commissioners
to the Federation of Citizens Associa-
ton Of the free use of the District build
ing board room for the meetings of the
Federation, last night precipitated an
outburst from Col. c. c. Lancaster,
president OF the Northwest Suburban AS
sociation, at a meeting of the Federation
in the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce-
Col Lancaster bitterly denounced
Commissioner Newman as a usurper of
office. questioned the legality OF loaning
out the board room and rallied against
the inferred abandonment of the indepen-
dence Of the association contained in the
offer.
The Federation voted. 16 to l. to hold
all future meetings at the District build
ing. Col. Lancaster said he would not
attend a meeting held there.
The Federation, against the protest Of
several members, voted to appoint a COM
nittee of seven to consult each citizens
association, with a view to forming
battalion of associations in the coming
preparedness parade.
Col. Lancaster's outburst came about
through notice served by the executive
board of the Chamber of Commerce that
IL would charge the Federation so for
every future meeting.
Would Involve Obligation.
Col. Lancaster declared that to accept
the offer of the Commissioners would
place the association in the position
OF being guests OF its employees.
Debate followed the motion OF Presi-
dent Shreeve, OF the Mid-City Associa-
ton. TO have the Citizens Associations of
Washington participate in the parade.

STRIKERS NAME TERMS.
Warrington Terminal Co. Must Dis
miss Foremen II Guilty.

If the investigation now being conduct
ed by the Washington Terminal Company
SHOWS that money was extorted from the
employees OF the Union Station train
yards under threat of discharge, and II
the company, after receiving the report,
disnisses those accused, the 200 or more
employees of the yards who struck last
Tuesday probably will return to work
Immediately after such action is taken.
George H. Nolte, of the Brotherhood
OF Railway Trainmen of America, who
organized the employees of the local
yards, said last night: "The other Diff
ferences between the company and the
men are so small that they can easily
be adjusted If the accused men are dis
missed"
The other differences referred to are a
slight increase in wages and the REIN
statement of a number of men, who, the
strikers claim, were laid off just before
the strike was declared. The strikers
claim the yard foremen sold" jobs and
took a Commission" every payday from
their subordinates.
