 CLANS ARE
 GATHERING
Chicago the Mecca of G. o. P. Pilgrims Who Plan Saving the Country.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Party leaders from nearly every state arrived here today to attend the meeting of the Republican National Committee to be held tomorrow. The session will be in the nature of political love feast at which the Republican victory at the congressional elections last November will be canvassed, and plans for the 1920 presidential campaign discussed. Practically every state will be repre- sented by the National Committeeman or his proxy. Party leaders brought optimistic reports from every section which they declared indicated success in the next presidential election. Although Chairman Will H. Hays , declared that any discussion of candi- dates for president was premature, the party leaders in preliminary and informal conferences tonight discuss ed probable candidates and issues. Among the names mentioned in the gossip were General John J. Persh- ing, General Leonard Wood, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachu- setts; Senator Albert E. Cummins, of Iowa, Senator P. c. Knox, of Pennsyl- vania; Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio; William H. Taft, of Ohio; Sen- ator James E. Watson, of Indiana; Governor Frank o .Lowden, of Hi nois Former Governor Charles s. Whitman, of New York; Senator John w. Weeks, of Massachusetts.
 Governor Henry J. Allen, of Kansas was mentioned as possible candidate for vice. president by his friends.
 The two issues most frequently mentioned in the gossip were an at tack on the alleged extravagance of the National Democratic Administra- tion and strong declaration against Bolshevikism and Socialistic doc. trines, including government owner ship or operation of the railroads and other public utilities.
 The committee has but little busi- ness to transact at it's meeting to- morrow.
 It was said that no move will be made to declare the position of Will liam Hale Thompson. National Com mitteeran from Illinois, vacant be- cause of his attitude toward the war. Committeeman Fred Stanley. of Kansas. and Comman Hubert Work, of Colorado nredicted that all the former Republican states in the west would be back in line in 1920. Com mitteer1an A T Hert of Kentuckv. said the indications pointed to that state poino Renublican in the next presidential election. Similar renorts : were received from other doubtful sections. %ef

E. B. Bloom, secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce received letter some time ago from Major John R. Fordyce, terminal engineer of the Mississippi River section of the Mis- sissippi Warrior Waterways, stating that there was contemplated land ing at Arkansas City, and soliciting an expression from Pine Bluff ship pers and manufacturers in regard to improved terminals for towns tribu- tary to the Mississippi river.

 IRELAND IS
 PROCLAIMED
London Globe Publishes What Is Purported to Be Sim Fein Constitution.

London, Jan. 9.-The first publica- ticn of what purports to be a Sim Fein constitution for Ireland was made today by the Globe. This has a particular interest in view of the Sim Fein proposal to hold an Irish congress in the near future. Tha preamble of the constitution runs as follows:
 "Whereas, the people Of Ireland rrever have relinquished their claim to separate nationhood, and.
 "Whereas, the provisional govern- ment of the Irish republic at Easter, 1916, in the name of the Irish peo- pie and continuing the fight made by previous generations, reasserted the inalienable right of the Irish Nation to sovereign independence and reaffirmed the determination of the Irish people to achieve it, and, ,"Whereas. the proclamation of all Irish republic at Easter, 1916, and / the supreme courage and the glori- ous sacrifices of men who gave their lives to maintain it have united the people of Ireland under the flag oi :! the Irish republic. we, the delegated , representatives, of the Irish people, in 1 congress, assembled, declare the foY' lowing to be the constitution of the Sim Fein."
 The article then sets forth the Sim Fein aims at securi1g interna- tional recognition of Ireland as ar independet republic ad declares that havig achieved that sta*us, tAa Irisf people by a referendum may f'ee'N choose theri own form of govern ment It says that the Sim Fein or ganization shall "in the nama of the sovereign Irish people deny tht right and oppose the will of tho British parliament and the B"ifisf crown, OF. any foreign government tt leeis.ate for Ireland"
 It also says that the organization will 'make use of any and ever! means available to render impoten the power of England to hold Ire land in subjection by military fcrcy or otherwise"
 The purported constitution declar es that constituent assembly shal be cOnvoked to formulate measures | for the welfare of tha people.

FAMINE APPROPRIATION
 STILL PENDING MATTER

Washington, Jan. 9-Although tneir efforts to have the house rules com mittee report a rule for immediate consideration of the bill approprlat- ing $1OO,OOO,O00 for famine reilef m Europe failed today, administration leaders announced tonight that they had not given up hopes of early con- sideration of the measure.
 Another attempt to get the commit tee to report out rule will be made soon, it was said, and if this fails, the bill will be offered as an amendment to some other measure before the house. In the meantime, the famine bill. passage of which has been re- ouested by President Wilson, remains on the house calendar and it's oppo- nent ssaid it would stay there. until the administration explained more definitely haw the money is to be used.
 The vote against the rule today in committee was five to three, but favorable action when new effort IS made to get rule was indicated to- night when Representative Kelly, of Pennsylvania, independent, announc- ed that he favored the bill. His vote in committee, with the six democratic members. leaders hope to have pres ent, would give majority over the four republicans and one progressive who today kept the bill on the cal endar.
 Republicans on the committee op. nosed the rule today on the pround that coneress was without sufficient i information for action, and similar view was expressed by other members of the house and bv democratic sen ators, who today continued their con. ference on the measure.

Oyster Bay. N. Y. Jan. 9.--Col. Theodore Roosevelt's will, made in 1912, was read to members of the family at Sagamore- Hill today and probably will be filed with the sur rogate of Nassau County tomorrow.

In the event she leaves no will, the estate is to be divided into equal parts apong the children.
 The silver and family plate, Mr. Cobbs said, are to be divided among the children, as is a $6O,000 trust fund left to Colonel Roosevelt by his father.
 The will named as trustees Lieuten- ant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, and w. Emlen Roosevelt, cousin of the Colonel.

CALDER ARRAIGNS BOARD
 AS INEFFICIENT

Washington, Jan. 9.-Senator Calder of New York, Republican, speaking to- day in the Senate, charged that the shipping board and the emergency fleet corporation have operated in an unbusinesslike manner with "appar- ent disregard for expense" and urged that congress determine the boards general policies and limit the scope of it's activities. Senator Calder is a member of the Senate commerce con- mittee which has been Investigating ship building for many months.
 "The shipping board" declared Senator Calder, "has at no time been made up of men with a knowledge of shipping or shipbuilding problems. There have been many changes in per- sonnel and consequently in it's poll. cies. A very large part of the time and the energies of the fleet corpora tion has been given over to building up great and Cumbersome system of supervision with reports and statistics on every conceivable subject connect ed with the work rather than the building of ships as an emergency measure.
 "In the policy adopted towards la- bor, there has been practically no ef- ! fort made to enforce ordinary discip- line or to indicate to the working men generally that they were expected to render a fair return of work for the | high wages paid. The records indi- cate that in many instances men being paid by the piece with the possibility of making from $20 to $50 day did three times the quantity of similar work performed by men on a per diem basis.
 "This condition is due in large measure to the apparent disregard fo1 expense, the grossly excessive office and supervisory forces employed, and the knowledge among the workinm men of the very high salaries being paid. It is an interesting fact that tho Hog Island Ship Yards overhead eX. pense are averaging today the sum o1 $1, ,75O,OO0 a month and since the start of the work in this yard, the overhead charges up to December 1, have ex. ceeded 6,S00,000."
 Senator Calder recommended that the activities of the fleet corporation in connection with the work, of pri vately owner yards having contracts for ships should be limited to the pro per inspection of the work and to ren idering assistance in the supplying O. materials and facilities and that tht work in government-owned yardl should be carried under the immediate control and direction of the fleet cor poration.
 Staisics tshow, the New York sena tor declared, that the shipping pro gram is progressing at approximate ly forty percent of scheduled speed,
 and that "the final completion of tn work under contract will probabl! take nearly year longer than tn time allowed in the contracts"
