There is, for instance, Col. Theodore

was an undergraduate. Albert Bushnell
Hart, now head of the department OF
government in Harvard, was president OF
the Advocate board in the days when
Roosevelt was an editor. They were
turbulent days. Prof. Hart admits now
not because Roosevelt was a member
but because the entire board was a fight
ing organization, with definite ideas Of
needed reforms and a positive manner in
urging them.
Prof Hart tells of one momentous oc-
casion when he took tremendously i'm

While many Of the shots have dropped
out of the movement because of the or

more convenient hours Of the Gratitude's

Considerable feeling exists amorg the

Board, Wants Reporters
to Watch Work.
PLANS TO BAR THE PUBLIC

Night Scenes When Murder
Was Averted."
PLANS TO BAR THE PUBLIC

The ballots cast Friday for delegates
to the Republican national convention
in Chicago will be counted tomorrow
night at s o'clock in my office in the
Century Building" declared Attorney
George c. Gertman. OF the Returning
Board, last evening.
IF we had counted those ballots and
announced the returns Friday evening
murder would have been committed by
the mob of 1000 in or outside the build
ing, practically all of whom thought the
Returning Board was prejudiced
I'VE have agreed, by a vote of > to !.
that one member or representative of
each ticket shall be present when this
count Is made and l shall make a mo-
tion that the members of the press
watch the count Of the votes.
We will bar the public because we
want no violence.
Guards VIII Be Present.
1T has been said that the judges were
favorable to one party. The same men
who named the judges named the Re-
turning Board. and l object to having that
boards count made in secret because I
do not want to be accused Of under
hand methods.
The building will be guarded by po-
lcemen. just as Maj. Pullman has had
a guard in my office to see that nobody
molested the ballots after they were
placed there Friday night"
Frank J. Hogan. of the Hogan Will
liston ticket, stated last night that an
unofficial total of the votes cast show
ed that S,422 were placed in the boxes
by voters, that of this number his
ticket received 6,674. the MilIer-Chase
ticket, 9O2. and the Bradshaw Marshall
ticket, S46.
These were the votes actually cast"
said Mr.. Hogan. THE number is ex-
elusive of the stuffing done by per-
sons interested in other candidates.
The plan of Mr.. Bradshaw to hold
a convention tomorrow night to have
himself and Mr.. Marshall elected dele
gates to the convention is one of the
biggest jokes imaginable. He says he
IS chairman of the Republican Central
Committee. There is no such committee
in existence. so far as the Republican

EUROPE WINS CONTRACTS
South American Countries Ready to
Cooperate with United States in
Improving Conditions.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and
the members Of the International High
Commission who returned from South
America this week gave out a joint
statement last night. setting forth the
evidence regarding the shipping situation
which they gathered on their trip. Here
are excerpts from the commissions
statement:
"As a result Of the war the cost of
ocean tonnage to South American ports
has increased enormously, and instead
Of an improvement in the conditions the
fear seems TO be well grounded that they
will become worse. As an Illustration OF
present rates. it may be stated that be-
fore the war the rate on coal from the
United States to Buenos Aires was Is
to % shillings per ton; for a consider
able time recently it has been 1O2 shil-
lngs and pence. AS a result coal has
been selling in Buenos Aires at S2S to
$50 ton nearly S25 OF this price being
represented in freight payments. Be
fore the war it sold in cargo lots at
S.75 to IS. Rates on other commodities
have increased in like proportion.

number OF notable cases were
brought to the attention OF members OF
the commission where important con-
tracts have recently gone to Europe,
which would have been given TO the
United States, but for the wide difference
OF freight rates which made it impossible
for our manufacturers to compete.
The representatives OF all the gov
ernments participating in the Buenos
Aires conference took every opportunity
to urge that the shipping conditions
could only be improved on the initiative
OF the United States. They made clear
their inability to finance new steamship
enterprises. but at the same time prom
ised that cooperation would be given in
every way that their governments could

Bible May Bring World Peace.
Surely, therefore one can easily kim
die ones enthusiasm at the flame that
burns upon the altar of a society like
this. We are trying in the spread Of the
gospel to make all the nations of the
world of one mind. of one enliGhten-
ment, of one motive driven through
every effort of their lives by one devo-
ton and one allegiance. Could you con-
ceive a greater enterprise than that?
THE work of the Bible societies of
the world is the one great nondenomi-
national missionary enterprise. So that
to my mind the colporters, the agents of
the Bible society, the men who, tramp
ing through countrysides or travelling by
every sort of conveyance in every sort
of land, carry with them little Cargoes
of books containing the Word of God
and spreading them, seem like the shut
ties in a great loom that is weaving the
spirits of men together"
President Wilson displayed strong
voice when he Joined in singing with the
audience the hymn "Verbum Del" Presi-
dent James Wood, of the society, pre-
sided and, in a short address, portrayed
the work of the society from its in
ception. Bishop William Fraser Nc
Dowell, of Chicago, spoke on What 1t
Is the Good of It."
Mrs. Wilson was seated on the platform
beside the President. Others on the plat
form were Vice President Marshall, Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels, Rev. Arthur
Taylor, secretary of the British and
