Wood Not First Choice.

Gen. Wood has many admirers among
the Liberal Republican politicians here
IN Senate and House. but not many sup
Dorters who avow him their first choice.
He would. II nominated. receive the
loyal. even enthusiastic. support of all OF
this group, but 1t remains a fact that
lie is not their first choice for the nomi-
nation because they want a publcist OF
another type. They doubt IL the country
is prepared to give preference to a SOL
der statesman as against a leader who
represents long association with the lib
eral view Of public questions without the
suggestion OF militaristic attitude
toward them.
The parallel developments of the
Wood and Taft strength have somewhat
forced the hand OF the Congressional
leaders Of the Liberal faction. They
are constantly confronted by appeals
from their supporters at home for some
Indication as to what course Is likely in
the whole national situation TO secure
the largest recognition and insure the
fullest effectiveness to the efforts of the
Liberals. Not to give some indication TO
these highly important leaders In the
States would be to leave them subject to
the advances OF the Taft and especially
OF the Wood forces

Anti Saloon League Chief
Threatens TO Act.
Special Despatch to TIE Sun.

BINaHAMroN, N. Y. June Police
officials are desperate over prohibition
and excise conditions in Binghamton
and have issued orders that all auto
mobiles entering Binghamton carrying
suspicious packages be searched for
contraband goods.
This town went bone dry technically
on October /, but there has been a gen.
eral disregard Of the excise law in this
county and liquor has been brought in
by automobiles, in suit cases and other
means. until n large room at the police
station Is stacked to the ceiling with
liquors of all descriptions. Beer OF the
2.75 per cent. variety is being sold
openly. but this is being seized by the
police.
Many raids were made to-day and
yesterday. The police in the past ralded
s>any places and numerous indictments
were found, but the persons indicted
were allowed to plead guilty and pay a
$50 fine. Saloons and cafes are open or
Sunday becsuse technically they can sell
only soft drinks. and, like ice cream par
lors, have a right to keep open.
Superintendent Anderson OF the Anti.
Saloon League has served notice on the
Mayor and Commissioners of Public
Safety that unless the practice Is speed
lily checked he will place special agents
in Binghamton and lay the matter be
fore the Governor.

BOMB SHELLS TO BE
CHILDREN'S BANKS
Hand Grenades viii Be Con.
Uerted to Peace Uses.


WASHINGTON. June 1.-As a modern
parallel Of the Biblical promise that
They shall beat their swords into
ploughshares," several million hand
grenades in stock at the end Of hostili-
ties are to be converted into children s
banks.
When the armistice was signed the
United States had about 1900, 900 hand
grenades ready to be loaded and shipped
to France.
The War Department wanted to sell
these unloaded grenades for junk, but
the savings division of the Treasury de-
cided that the souvenir value Of the 20
tentiai weapons was much more than
their intrinsic value in peace times and
saw an opportunity at the same time to
encourage thrift among the children of
the country. So each grenade Is to be
slotted to receive pennies and dimes for
the purchase OF War Savings Stamps
and each one will be lettered wv. s. s.
Any child under ten years old who
earns and saves enough money during
the summer to buy a war savings stamp
and who submits to his teacher when
school begins again. a story telling how
It was done. will be entitled to one of
the banks. Children over ten may get
the banks In the same way, but they
will have to save and buy two War
Savings Stamps.

For the purpose Of encouraging thrift

New Bedford Unions Support

NEW BEpToRD, Mas, June IA
strike Of all union textile operatives Of
this city in sympathy with striking mill
engineers and hremen will start to-
morrow morning. At separate meetings
OF the textile unions to-day II was
voted to accept the Recommendation Of
the Textile Council, Central Labor
Union and Building Trades Council that
all union labor employed by the mills
refrain from work until the manufac-
turers sign the wage agreement de-
manded by the engineers and fremen.
The mills have been closed for more
than o week. II had been reported that
the manufacturers planned to start them
up tomorrow morning with out-of-town
engineers and firemen. At a meeting
Of the Manufacturers Association u
was decided not to do this. President
Walter H. Langshaw OF the association
said after the meeting:
I'VE do not know how just what day
the mills will be reopened."
The Building Trades Council voted to-
day that in case the mills should start
their machinery with strike breakers,
building trades members would be or
dered to cease work on all mill construc-
ton, whether employed by the mills or
by contractors.
Nearly $1,000 operatives have been
Idle as a result OF the strike of the en-
gineers and firemen. The general 10 per
cent. increase granted the operatives
recently is scheduled to go into effect
tomorrow morning.
The only mill exempted from the SYM
pathetic strike order Is the Pasaic which
has adopted the wage agreement with
the engineers. This mill Is not q men,
