CARRYING OUT
TREATY IS NOW
ALLIED PUZZLE

Paris, April 13.-Although the
diplomatic incident regarding the
occupation of Frankfort by French
forces is considered here to have
been closed, it is pointed out that
the main question under which the
dispute aroSe-the carrying out of
the treaty of Versailles-remains
open in its entirety. Forecasts are
that it will come up at the San
Reno conference of the allies. The
probable occasion will be in con-
nection with the consideration of
Germany's request for further time
to disarm and demobilize, it is un-
derstood in official circles.
The execution of reparations
clauses of the treaty, as we'll as of
the military clauses, will be dis
cussed by the conferees, and they
will be asked by France, it was in
dicated today, to make definite
conclusion of the policy of the al
lie son these points. France will
show willingness to facilitate
Germany's economic revival by
commercial agreements between
the two countries, it is stated, but
will resist any tendency to revise
the treaty for Germany's benefit at
the expense of the reparations
clauses alone.

CABRERA TRAP j.:
REPORTED COUP
IN GUATEMALA

Washington, April 13.-Private
advices received here picture the
situation in Guatemala City, as a
trap that had been sprung by Pres
ident Estrada Cabrera on his en-
emies rather than a rebel victory.
1t was explained that the failure
of the president to use the army to
prevent the entry of the rebels into
the capital was strategem employ
ed to give him the upper hand with
a minimum of bloOdshed.
Strong government forces were
stationed at La Palma, a suburb.
where President Cabrera is located,
and other points from where oper-
ations can be directed that will
effectually close all the exits from
the city, the report said. After the
rebels had flocked into the city,
Cabrera was said to have announced
to them that the capital would re-
main under siege until the insur-
gent sued for terms. The water
supply would be cut off, food ship
ments be stopped and only women,
children and other non-combatants
would be permitted to pass the line
of siege, the message added, in or
der to hasten . comparatively
bloOdless victory.

Chicago, April 13.-Illinois was
to indicate her preference for the
presidency today. the choice being
between favorite son as sue
cessor of Lincoln and Grant, or a
distinguished military officer with
a national record of achievement.
Chief interest in today's election
was confined to the Republican
party. General Leonard Wood and
Governor Frank O. Lowden of the
G. o. P, were the only regularly
named candidates for the prefer
ence. In the Democratic party
there were no presidential candi-
dates. Interest there was con-
fined to the selection of ward and
precinct committeeman to run the
party in the next four years, and
the naming of 5S delegates to the
national convention.
None Pledged for Wood.
The polls opened at a. m. They
we're to close at p. m. The presi-
dental vote is not binding upon
delegates to the national conven-
ton. Many candidates for the dele
CATION are pledged to Governor
Lowden and are bound to vote for
him if elected, regardless of the
popular choice. General Wood had
no pledged candidates for dele
gates.
Women voted for their president
ial candidate in Chicago and var
ious localities, the right being
granted or denied by election au-
thorities' Interpretation of the
primary law.
Chicago Interest Keen.
Because of a three-cornered fight
in Chicago for control of the Re
publican county committee interest
was keen and the possibility of a
maximum vote of 100000 was seen.
Less bitter fights were being waged
in downstate communities. 1t was
believed the vote outside Chicago
would not be much more than
100000.
The possibility of written-in
votes existed in both parties. In
the Republican primaries it was
expected that Hiram johnson would
get numerous votes in this way.
johnson and other candidates de-
ferred to Lowden as a "favorite
son" by refusing to file petitions
Small Demo Value.
Governor Edwards, McAdoo and
all other Democratic possibilities
were expected to receive votes. but
their value was small. No candl-
dates for the state delegation were
pledged.
Chicago also voted on improve
ment bond issues of $34,5O,0oo.

Wood Quits Stump to Fight Rail Peril
RAIL REVOLT IT'S
RADICAL WORK:
LONG BREWING
Government Will Give
Union Officers Time to
Get Control.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,
Especial to The Arrus)

Washington, D. c., April 13.-
Open rebellion on the railroads of
the country has given the govern
ment problem even more compli-
Gated than the coal strike. 1t was
not a sudden revolt. Trouble has
been brewing for many weeks and
the department of justice has been
watching certain radical leaders
who have been fomenting mutiny.
As a matter of fact. the depart
ment expected break in another
industry to occur before the rail-
road men struck.
1t was a day of II told you so"
at the department of justice. where
the railroad strike was attributed
entirely to the conspiracy of rad
icals" and "bolshevists" who have
begun a process of boring from
within" in an effort to overthrow
the more sensible and conserya-
tive leaders of organized labor.
I'VE have been warning the
country against the activity of rad
icals.' said one official of the de-
partment, ''but We have been ac-
cused OF seeing things and exag-
gerating."
Few Have Great Power.
Officials pointed out that while
the number of men out on strike
was not considerable it was posi-
Bile for any small number to tie up
the transportation systems of the
country when adopting guerrilla
| warfare tactics of suspending work
without notice.
Attorney General Palmer got
back to Washington from Georgia
and began examining the report of
! confidential agents to see what ev-
| idence had been collected on which
! prosecutions can be based. If it is
| found that a conspiracy exists, in
| dictments will be asked against
the leaders who participated: but
it is also quite possible that the
| government may proceed against
individual strikers on the ground
! that they have interrupted the
transportation of the nations food
| supply. The Lever act still holds
good, and it is a lucky thing that
the peace resolution framed by the
