ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13-Pledges that
St. Louis would offer to pay the ex-
penses of the Republican National Con-
vention in 1920 to an amount not to
exceed $4,000 and that rates in
local hotels would not exceed 81 a
day during the time of t,.c conven-
tion were the principal features of a
plan decided upon to-day for the
local campaign to induce the Rcpub-
convention for this city Assurance
VS. also given that convention tickets
would not be demanded in return for
the $4,000.
The details were worked out at a
meeting of the special conventions COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce at
meeting in the Mayors office. where
reports were received from National
Committeeman Babler, the Mayor and
others who attended meeting Of the
National Committee in Chicago last
Monday
Mr.. Babler expressed the opinion
that the fact that Governor Lowden, of
Chicago, was q candidate for the nomi-
nation for President should be used
as strong talking point for St. Louis.
EITHER Lowden should get out of
the race or Chicago should not ask
for the convention" Mr.. Babler said
II "ouid be untalr to other can1i-
dates to have the convention in Chi
cago, because the convention hall
would be packed with Lowden shout
ers"
Charles F. Hatfield, manager of the
St. Louis Convention Bureau, said
that the record Of st. Louis for
loyalty during the war, in con-
trast with the attitude Of the city
administration in Chicago, should be
a strong point, and called attention to
the refusal of the American Legion to
hold its convention in Chicago for that
reason.

ing Managers Associations; William
McBride, the ticket brokers; Commits
sloner Of Licenses Gilchrst, Chief In
spector DAILY and Alderman Collins.
The supplement to the ordinance, as
drawn up and read by Commissioner
Gllchrst, tends to shorten the lengthy
process, including Supreme Court pro-
ceedings, now neces ary to cancel the
ncen. es of spectators who break the
law by charging more than so cents
above box office prices.
1t delegates to the Mayor, the
License Commissioner or any city
mag strate the right to revoke or sus-
speculator convicted of violating the
law. 1t also gives the Commi s:oner
of Licenses wide discretionary powers
by which he can cancel or suspend
permits pending or in advance of legal
action.
Tn amendments also provide that
licenses must be taken cut for every
individual ticket agency office, and
that the practice now in VOGUE by

Federal authorities will also be asked
to aid in the fight against the

attention to the fact that the recent
revenue bill provided for tax of 5
per cent on any premium up to SO
cents charged by ticket specu'ators
! he Federal law provides for so per

added to box office prices.
Arthur Hammerstein declared that
certain spcculators were fasifying
their Federal reports in order to dodge
this add; tional tax
Mr.. Brady, declaring that the pro-

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-American
dead to be returned from France are
soldiers who died in hospitals back of
the Tines, Secretary of War Baker said
to-day. TIE work of transporting the
bodies to this country will be cxpe-
dited, Mr.. Baker said, and efforts will
continue to be made to induce the
French government to permit the re-
moval home of all bodies Of soldiers
whose relatives request their return.
Secretary Baker explained that the
new order does not cover any OF the
so-callod battle deaths or casualties in
the battle line and where the burial
was made within the zone of the ar
mics. 1t does include, however, all Of
the men VINO died in hospitals far in
he rear of the area where the battles
cnsued
"Thcre is French ministerial regu-
lation that prevents the removal Of
bodies from the battle 'front.'" Secre-
5ary Baker explained.
"The removal would entail an un-
bcarable burden upon the French rail
roads and be depressing spectacle to
he French reop.e, and one likely to
ave a bad effect on the morale of the
inhabitants. The dead of al the AL
led almles are buried there, and we
will have to be patient in waiting our
turn to receive possession of the
