HUGHES AND WILSON
IN SANE PARADE
Rivals for Presidency May
March on Flag Day.

Washington, June 1l.-Chsrles f.
Hughes promised tonight TO march in
the preparedness parade to be held
here next Wednesday, provided busi-
ness did not take him out of town on
that day. President Wilson already
has promised to head the parade, to
review it from a stand in front of the
White House, and to deliver an ad-
dress on America First"
The demonstration, in which many
other high officials are expected 10 take
part, will be the principal feature OF
the capitals celebration of Flag Day.
1t was arranged by industrial, religious
and social organizations, and govern
ment employees have been granted
half-holiday in order TO march.
The committee in charge Of the pa
rade was uncertain tonight what place
in the line Of march would be assigned
10 Mr.. Hughes. At the Hughes home
il was said that the Republican nomi-
nee hoped 10 be here and take part,
but that his conferences with party
leaders in New York might prevent his
return by Wednesday.

THESE ANGLERS BAITED
HOOKS FOR SHEET LEAD
Fished with Profit, Too, Until
Patrolman Landed One.

Two youthful fishermen were seated
on the wall about factory inclosure
in Williamsburg yesterday morning
when their patient manipulation Of
fishing tackle attracted the attention
Of Patrolman Meyers. The policeman
never had heard of successful fishing
in the factory yard. in which several
inches of dust proved the utter alb
sence Of water.
Look Amt this a whopper% he
heard one of the two men say.
"Sure. but look what | landed" was
the reply. .,
The patrolman peered over the wall
and found, he says, that the fisher
men were using poles baited with
miniature graphing hooks TO remove
sheet lead, hundreds OF pounds OF
which had been stolen from the in
closure. owned by the Franklin H..
KalbAeisch Chemical Works, at White
and Cook streets.
Movers grasped the legs OF the two
fishermen, but one escaped, leaving
Rim in possession Of prisoner who
gave the name Of Herman Simpson.
In Bedford Avenue Police Court he
was reluc ant to talk OF the case, and
was held for hearing to-day.

Statement of National l.

of Lloyd George.
CONSIDER FUTURE
FEDERAL EMPIRE
All DOminiOns to Par
ticipate in Conference
at End of War.

Dublin, June 11.-An official report
issued by the Nationalist Party con-
cerning its recent meeting gives the
history of the situation resulting from
Premier Asquith's visit TO Ireland and
the appointment of David Lloyd
George to negotiate settlement OF
the differences between the Irish fac
tions.
The statement says Premier Asquith
returned from Ireland profoundly con-
vinced that the Castle government was
completely broken down, and that he
made no attempt to set it up again by
the appointment OF either lord lieu
tenant or a chief secretary for Ire
land. 1t gives the proposals OF Mr..
Lloyd George, formulated on his own
as a result Of his consul
tations with all the parties, which may
be regarded as the governments pro-
possls. The proposals were;
First, to bring the Home Rule act
into immediate operation; second, 10
introduce forthwith an amending Dill
as a strictly war emergency act; third
that during the interim the Irish mem
bers were to remain in Westminster
in their full numbers; fourth, that
during the war emergency period the
six Ulster counties should remain
under the imperial government; hfth'
that Immediately after the war an I'M
perial conference Of representatives OF
all dominions be held TO consider the
future government of the empire, in
cluding the government Of Ireland;
sixth. that following this confer
ence and in the interval provided by
the war emergency act, permanent
settling of all great outstanding prob
lens should proceed"
The foregoing proposals were set
out briefly in a speech at the Nation
alist meeting by John Redmond, who
added that no conference had yet been
held between the opposite parties, each
side submitting proposals TO its own
supporters. The meeting adjourned
after having passed unanimously reso-
lutions protesting against the contlnu-
ance of martial law in Ireland and con-
demning both the personnel of and the
terms of reference to the commission
appointed to investigate the recent
rising.

st. Louis. June 11.-Disappointed
but not dismayed, by the result Of
their labors at the Republican conven-
tion, women suffragists began pouring
into St. Louis to-day to insist on a
full-hedged equal rights plank in the
Democratic platform.
Regarding their failure to induce the
Republicans to indorse suffrage by con-
stitutional amendment as a temporary
setback. the suffrage leaders insisted
that good might come out Of tho sit
uation If Democratic leaders should
take action to capture the very large
woman vote in the suffrage states.
A delegation for woman suffrage in
the Democratic platform, suffrage lead
ers insisted, would mean added thou
sands OF votes for President Wilson
and the rest Of the ticket this fall.
Many political observers predict that.
as the nominations virtually are con-
ceded in this convention, the most in
teresting fight will centre on the suf-
frage issue. Peace and prohibition will
attract much attention, but if the pict-
uresque appeals to the delegates, as
the organizers of the suffrage display
planned for the week insist that il
must the two former issues soon will
be overshadowed by the dominating in
fuence of the question of equal rights.

Neither delegates, leaders nor crowds
will be permitted to forget suffrage

ENTIRE ITALIAN
CABINET RESIGNS
Action Caused by Failure
of Deputies to Pass Vote
of Confidence.

London, June 1.-THE Italian Cab
met, headed by Premier Salandrs, re-
signed to-day. This action Of the
ministry resulted from the failure Of
the Italian Chamber of Deputies yes
terday to pass a vote OF confidence in
the government, following the presen-
tation of the budget Of the Ministry
Of the Interior.
A Rome dispatch, received here to-
day by wireless, said the ministerial
crisis could soon be ended. All politi-
cal parties, it was contended, favored
national ministry, containing Baron
Sonnino, the Minister of Foreign Al
fairs, and the present military minis
ters.
II has been suggested that the new
Cabinet comprise all the leading
statesmen, with view to uniting in
the supreme struggle all political
opinions except that Of the Intransi-
geant Socialists, about forty of whom
oppose the war as a principle. From
all sides a rapid solution of the crisis
is urged. owing TO the gravity of the
moment.
King Victor Emmanuel, besides con-
sulting Antonio Salandra. the resign
ing Premier, will seek the views of
Baron Sonnino, the Foreign Minister,
the presidents of the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies, and the wearers
of the collar of the order of Annun-
ziata, including ex-Premiers Giolitti
and Luzzatti.
The general impression resulting
from the defeat of the Cabinet is that
it does not signify any change in the
spirit or national conduct of the war,
inasmuch as all of the speakers in the
Chamber of Deputies in the main up
held the conduct of the war.

the Colonel made it evident that he

iterated what he had said last night
about his absolute retirement from
politics.

reason that nobody asked him whether

unanswered, except for the general be-

MOOSE BACK:
APPEAL TO T.R.
Delegates Say They
Will Refuse to In
dorse Hughes.

Four coachloads Of Progressive party
delegates to the Chicago convention ar
rived in the Grand Central Terminal
late last night, with their coats off,"
as one of their own number expressed
it. and with their heads high in the
air." From statements made by at
least half dozen Of the most militant
delegates their view Of the situation is
that:
1. Colonel Roosevelt's refusal Of the
Progressive nomination will not mean
the death Of the party, although the
nomination OF any other candidate is
unlikely.
2. Hughes can never expect Pro-
gressive Endorsement. IL the Colonel
makes his tentative refusal of the NOM
nation permanent the party leaders
probably will attempt to lead their
forces into the Wilson camp.
3. Roosevelt refused their call be-
caues he had been "ill advised" by a
group OF well known Bull Moosers, who
are now looked upon as betrsyers Of
Progressiveism.
4. A committee Of seven Progress
sives will call on the Colonel at his
home in Oyster Bay to-day or to-mor-
row for his final decision.
Party Will Live.
"The Progressive delegates made q
hard. clean fight at the Chicago con-
vention, and are back with their coats
off and their heads high in the air."
declared John J. 0'Connell. chairman Of
the Progressive County Committee.
"The Progressive party IS going TO
live. | do not think Roosevelt will de-
sert US at this time. but it appears
from what has happened during the
last day and half that he has been
exceedingly i'll advised by somebody"
"Who do you mean by somebody? he
was asked.
81 am not at liberty TO state at this
time. But will say this: from what
has occurred IL is certain that the
National Executive Committee OF our
party will in the future be careful
not to permit any man not a member OF
the committee TO invade its delibera-
tions."

Mr.. O'Connell refused to tell whether
his veied reference was 10 Oscar

tinuing. he sad:

WY PROSPERITY,
CRY OF WILSON
Peace and Defence Also
TO Mark Platform at
st. Louis.

From stat Correspondent Of The Tribune
st. Louis, June 11.-"Won't somebody
please start a fght?"
That is the sentiment Of most poll
ticians gathered here tonight to re-
nominate President Wilson at the DEM
ocratic National Convention, which
begins on Wednesday. Unless William
Jennings Bryan or some other equally
famed white hope" comes to its as
sistance, the convention will make an
afternoon tea look like riot.
There isn't a fight in sight as yet,
because the real convention will be
held in the White House at Washing
ton, where President Wilson will pull
the strings. There have been hopes
that the Vice Presidency, the suffrage
plank and the prohibition plank might
stir up a row, but word has gone forth
that Thomas Riley Marshall must be
renominated because the Republicans
took their Presidential candidate
from the Hoosier State. Two United
States Senators are involved in Indiana
this fall, and Democratic leaders here
declare that a refusal to name Mr.. Mar
shall again would give these two Sena-
tors to the Republicans. and perhaps
control of the Senate.
Vote Against Wilson.
The one note Of discord in the hsr-
mony OF the convention appeared to-
night. when Robert Emmett Burke,
delegate from Illinois. arrived here.
Mr. Burke announced that he was
against the nomination of President
Wilson and that he intended to vote
against him in the convention. lt ls
needless to say that Burke is a Sulll-
van Democrat.
There has also been & lot Of gossip
about prospective Nice-Presidentisl
candidates because there is a feeling
that President Wilson would like some
other running mate than Mr.. Marshall.
Governor Major, of Missouri: Roger

ernor Joseph Folk of Missouri have
been mentioned, but they are not likely
to be taken seriously.

STILL INSISTS HE'S
OUT OF POLITICS
Conferences To Be Held
with Leaders Returning

From star Correspondent OF The Tribune
Oyster Bay, June 11.-Although
Colonel Roosevelt, by his own en-
phatically voiced decision, is out of
politics for good, it is obvious to-day
that his fight for an Americanism
unalloyed by hyphens or foreign
sympathies will go on as the para
mount issue of the coming Presiden-
tial campaign.
Hundreds of kilograms that poured
into Sycamore Hill throughout the
day, conferences with returning
leaders in both convention fights that
are scheduled for tomorrow and
next day and the past performances
of the founder of the Progressive
party all indicate that he will not
he permitted to carry out his decision
to remain out Of the fray.
Tonight there are lines in Colonel
Roosevelt's face that were not there a
week ago. There Is look in his eyes
that shows far more than words how
deeply he felt the hurt of the defeat Of
the issue he carried to the Republican
convention.
Oldtime Vlgor Not Gone.
There is something in his manner of
discussing the situation with the few

reach him to-day that shows how the
days and nights OF activity that pre-
ceded Saturdays events have told upon
him.
But the oldtime vigor is not gone,
the ire is still in his eye, and his de-
cisiveness Of action is just as apparent
now as ever. There is little doubt but
that Colonel Roosevelt will adhere to
his decision to quit politics. so far as
being a candidate for Office is con-
cerned That he will take some active
part in the campaign fight he precipl-
tated by enunciating the present issues
Just how nobody can say just now
is almost equally certain.
During the morning Colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt braved the dampness
and threats Of rain to drive to the Epis-
copal church in the village, of which
they are regular attendants. Many
curious eyes were turned toward the
couple as they drove through the
streets, but Colonel Roosevelt met them
all with the same hearty greetings that
always characterize his appearance
among his neighbors here. He waved
his hand, shouted bantering remarks to
friends and talked to them about every
thing but the one subject about which
they were curious 10 talk-politics.
