PARTY HARMONY KEYNOTE
OF MCCORMICK DINNER
Old.Line and Progressive Republicans
Ming.e as Guests of Representa-
tiye-Elect

Washington, Jan. 29.-Harmony with
in the Republican party and reunion
of all Of the party elements to bring
about a Democratic defeat in the next
two years formed the keynote Of din
ner given tonight by Medill McCor-
mick, Representatives of Illinois, to
prominent Republicans.
Included in the guest list were Re-
publicans of both radical and conserva-
tive views, it having been Mr.. McCQr-
mick's intention to see il there was not
some common ground on which the fac
tions might unite Senators Borah,
Watson, Norris, Poindexter and Sher-
man. and Representatives Mckinley,
Lenroot, Longworth, Gardner and Mad
den were there, in addition TO Senator
elect Calder, of New York; Will II.
HAYS, Republican state chairman in
Indiana, and A. T. Hert, manager Of the
Western headquarters in the recent
campaign.
1t is understood that a progressive
legislative platform was one of the
principal subjects discussed. Mr.. Nc
Cormick is a former Roosevelt man,
and although elected as a Republican
in Illinois last year he retains all Of
his Progressive ideas.

JAMES n. BECK SCORES
AFRICAN NEUTRALITY
Tells Fund for French Wounded Nation
Should Remember Debt

Tells Fund for French Wounded Nation
Should Remember Debt
"The Error of American Neutrality
was denounced yesterday afternoon at
the second annual meeting of the Amer
lean Fund for French Wounded, at the
Maxine Elliott Theatre.
at is time for America to remem-
Der that unreasonable debt, which
nothing can ever wholly lquidate'
which we owe to France, without whom
our Revolution would have been a
fasco," was the keynote sounded by
James NJ. Beck, the chairman.
N. Marcel Knecht, delegate OF the
French National Committee, referred TO
the fact that America is "a moral ally
of France, and paid tribute TO the
American Fund for French Wounded
and TO the women of the nation, as well
as 70 the 25,0O0 men who, he declared,
have gone to France TO help her IN one
way or another. Norman Prince,
an American aviator, who died IN the
French service, was hailed as another
Lafayette.
DO not let che country fall into a
moral sleep" was the appeal to the
women.
The American Fund for French
Wounded has already passed the $780,
600 mark Mrs Ethelbert Nevin is
chairman of the organization, Miss
Anne Morgan treasurer, and Miss Els
abeth Marbury chairman of publicity.

RECEIVERSHIP SOUGHT
FOR Won FRANTZIUS co
Creditors of Sahsrets Late Husband
Say Business Is Bankrupt

Creditors of Saherets Late Husband
Say Business Is Bankrupt
Chicago, Jan. Pa petition for a
receiver for Won Frantzius & Co., for
many years prominent stock and grain
brokers of Chicago, was filed to-day
by |. B. Perlman, as attorney for three
creditors representing claims of S6,4OO.
Perlman alleges that the liabilities
of the firm are $2,7OO,OOO and the as
sets about 100000 under that. Ben
jamin Marcuse, who on September 30
last resigned from the partnership,
leaving Won Frantzius, who died jan
uary Z, the sole owner, said Perlman's
allegation was wild guesswork."
Won Frantzius was a picturesque
character known for his love of art.
lie came TO this country forty years
ago from Germany without funds, but
by his industry built up one OF the
biggest brokerage houses in the city.
He was divorced from his first wife
years ago. .J
Two years ago Won Frantzius gained
notoriety by his marriage to Saharet,
a painting Of whom had caught MS
fancy. They were soon divorced.
