ShlcagO, june 4.-DeciSlonS OF
the republican national committee
which today disposed of rs contests
for seats in the national convention
of the party tonight brought
charge of steam roller" tactics
from Senator Moses of New Hamp-
shire, who conducted Gen. Woods
pre-convention campaign in the
southern states. He issued
lengthy statement which was in
sharp contrast to the jubilant notes
that came from the Lowden head.
quarters.
Evidently a mistake has been
made" said Senator Moses state
ment "The steam roller which was
used so effectively in the conven-
tion of 1912 and with such disas-
trous results to the party in the
election following. has not been
scrapped after all. It has merely
been in the machine shop for re-
pairs and for some new attach
ments."
Calls Contests Fraudulent.
The most important of the lat

apparatus which enables the nation
al committee at will to disregard its
prior formal action in recognition

THE chain of procedure which
the national committee formed at
its St. Louis meeting in 1917 and
at the Washington meeting in 1919
contained three links. The first
connected the natitnal chairman
with the recognized national COM
mitteemen in the states. to whom
were sent the official calls for the
convention which assemblies next
week. The national committeeman
transmitted this call to the recog-
nized state chairmen. thus constitut.

The third link connected the state

"ANOTHER WOMAN'

KILLING HERSELF

Health and Jealous,
Turns on Gas.

Leaving not in which she ac-

give her money with which to buy

hoped that he would be happy with
the "other woman he loved" Mrs.
Anna Slaussen, 80 years old, 808
North Sixteenth street, yesterday
committed suicide by turning on the
gas in her bedroom.
The body was found by her hus-
band, H. V. Slaussen. a laborer,
when he returned from work short
ly before E o'clock. Receiving no
response when he knocked on the
door, he broke it open and found
his wife lying on the bed in the
room which was filled with gas
fumes.
Mrs. Slaussen had evidently been
dead about five hours when her
body was found, according to the
police surgeon who was summoned.
Beside her body was found a fare
we'll note, most of which was not
legible.
Parts of the note which the po-
lice were able to read said that she
loved her husband hundred times
better than life," but that he loved
another, and that she hoped the
woman would be happy. She also
accused her husband of not giving
her money with which to buy lung
medicine.
-Slaussen said that his wife had
been jealous, but that it had been
without cause. as there was no 9TH
er woman. His wife. he said, had
been in poor health, haying had
trouble with her lungs for several
years. There had been nothing
which would cause her to take her
life, unless it was the brooding over
her i'll health, he said last night.
"She got up early Friday morn
ing and got my breakfast and put
up my lunch as usual" he said.
There was nothing in her manner
which would indicate that she con-
templated any act Of this kind We
did not quarrel before ! went to
work"
Slaussen said that he and his
wife had been married for eight
years. There had been no quarrel
of any consequence, he told the po-
lice, and never a mention of any
other woman. He also stated that
he had bought her medicine for her
lungs. They have no children.

Street Railway Employees
Union Urges State Commits
sion to Adjust Differences in
Demand for Pay Increase.
SUGGEST INCREASE IN
FARES TO MEET WAGE
Carmen Will Back Company
If Higher Rate Is Asked
Owners Refuse to Put More
Burden on the Public.

The executive board of the street
car mems union forwarded request
to the State Railway commission
yesterday afternoon asking that the
commission assume jurisdiction in
the wage dispute between the union
and the street railway company.
The request to the commission,
Which is signed by the eight men,
bers of the upion board. declares
that the union shall abide by the
decision of the commission.
At a meeting at Lincoln the COM
mission decided it had the authority
to arbitrate the difficulty. according
to Commissioner H. G. Taylor.
Final action will be taken at a
meeting Saturday morning. Mr.. Tay-
lor said, when the commission ex-
poets to receive the communication
sent them by the employees union.
The commission will entertain a
complaint, if one is filed, the COM
missioner said. .
Will Back Increase.
"The union will back the company
if it asks the commission for an
increased fare to enable it to pay
the men a living wage" said Allen
Burt, international representative of
tie Amalgamated association Of
street car employees. 1T will not
ask the commission to increase
fares, however. All the union is in
terested in is securing a wage in
crease"
THE company will not join the
union in asking for an increase of
fares, as was suggested by union
leaders at conference with us yes
terday morning" declared R. A.
Leussler, vice-president and general
manager of the company.
The company, on the unions pro-
posal, offered to open its books to
the commission to prove that it was
unable to pay wage increase, pro-
vided the union would drop the mat
ter of strike. Union leaders yes
terday refused to sign an agreement
not to strike if the commission found
the company could not pay an in
crease, so there was no use in sub
mitting the books at all.
Threaten to Stop Cars.
ben Short, president of the union,
said he would go to the commission
and tell them the cars would stop
running in Omaha unless that body
granted fare increase to enable the
Company to give wage increase, at
the conference yesterday morning.
I'll replied that we would inform
the commission that the cars would
run, regardless of any union threat.

Seasoned Veterans Look Upon
Illinois Governor as the Man
Most Likely to Receive G.
0.P. Nomination at Chicago.
THINK WOOD is SLATED
FOR EARLY ELIMINATION
Expect Senator Johnson to Go
Down to Defeat Before Final
BaIIot-His Backers' Chief
Hope Is Possible Stampede.
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Chicago, June 4.-Developments
today in the big republican free-for-
all to be staged at the Coliseum
next week, indicated that of the
avowed candidates for presidential
nomination, Governor Lowden of
q Illinois has the best chance of car
rying off the prize.
The seasoned republican veterans,
who began appearing on the scene
today, | found, do not expect the
delegates to name either Gen. Wood
Of Senator Johnson.
The prevalent understanding is
that Wood is slated for early elm
nation from the contest The gem
eNal is up against volume of op-
position. which seems to the prac-
teal politicians to be well nigh
insuperable. In addition to the an
tagonism Of old guardsmen from
the start, Wood is suffering from
antagonisms contracted by his
managers in projecting his, cam
paign into the states of favorite
sons.
See IS Votes in Of6ng.
The most hopeful of the Wood
managers think they see $50 votes
in sight for the general on about
the third ballot, but that is as far
as they are willing to go in the
line of prediction when discussing
the situation frankly. This top
figure is some 130 votes short OF
. majority.
The, Johnson managers do not
expect the senator to get within
shouting distance of the nomina-,
ton unless both Wood and Lowden
should be eliminated and then their
chief hope lies in a possible stam-
gpede of the convention to the Cal
ifornia senator. The appearance
of Johnson in the convention on the
league of nations issue in connec-
tion with the platform would be re-
lied upon to promote such stam-
pede in the nomination.
Stampede improbable.
A convention in which there are
500 delegates who sat in the con-
vention of 1916 and 800 veterans of
the convention of 1912. however, is
not likely to be stampeded. There
fore the hope of the Johnson man
ayers is put down as slender one,
to say the least.
Lowden occupies the strategic po-
sition in convention calculations
that he has held for several weeks.
His reserve strength made up of the
pledges Of several hundred delegates
for second choice, makes him for
midable to begin with He is be-
ing strengthened by the decisions
OF the national committee on con-
tests, decisions which will be in
dorsed by the credentials commit

injured by the revelations of the

funds to the Missouri delegates who
appropriated the money to their
