BRYAN PRESSES RATIFICATION.
World May BE Deluged in Blood by
Delay He Warns Democrats.

PIttsburg, April 3O.~-William Jen-
nings Bryan, in n statement, issued here
last night, declared that the recent pri-
maries were n warning that Democratic
Senators should lose no time IN voting
for the ratification Of the peace treaty.
Delay in ratification may delugc the
world in blood and food Our own country
with woe" he said. "fhe recent primar-
ieg should be warning. In Georgia less
than one-third Of the Democrats stood
for the treaty without reservations Two
thirds were divided about equally be-
tween ratification with reservations and
total reflections Of the treaty. In Ne
braska, Senator Hitchcock's vote would
not have been worth counting had he
been compelled to rely on those who are
for the ratification Of the peace treaty.
"My fight was made on platform
declaring for ratification with reserva-
tions already agreed upon by a largc
majority of The Senate. Senator John
sons vote is largely protest against
the treaty and against the blundering
Of the Senators who talk for the treaty
but quarrel over reservations.
"a campaign in favor Of ratification
without reservations would presult IN
overwhelming defeat, but, what is in
finftely worse, it would prevent the CON
sideration Of pressing domestic problems
and leave the whole world 70 chaos. Our
counsel and advice today may contribute
more to world peace than an army Of a
million men would year from now. If
our party refuses 20 aid ratification now
IL must share, even if IL does not fully
assume responsibility for what follows"

Knox is the best equipped, all-around

available in public life.
''Nyhile doubtless several other eandl-
dates could be nominated and elected.

Profound interest was excited III pollti-

date for the Presidency.
Among the friends of Governor sproul
tho statement of the Senator was not
regarded AS slap at the movement TO
make the governor the nominee. although
that was the view taken III some quar-
ters.
Later, however. Governor Sproul came
out in an interview cordially indorslng

day. Senator Knox gave notice that he
would deliver set speech in opening

The adoption Of the resolution in the
Senate was conceded By Senator Hitch
cock Of Nebraska, Democrat. but he pre-
dicted that the President would promptly
veto it and possibly send the Versailles
Treaty back to the Senate at the same
time. Democrats, with ono or two ex-
ceptions. would oppose the resolution.
Senator Hitchcock said.
The attitude Of the mild reservationist
Republicans is in doubt. but il is ex-
pected that they will limit any possible
opposition To efforts for amending the
Knox measure. Senator McCumber Of
North Dakota, Republican, may move
to substitute his pending resolution

MRS. ROOSEVELT HELD UP
BY CHICAGO DETECTIVE
Suspected as the Woman IN
Black" She is Quizzed by
Officer With Drawn Pistol.

Chicago, May Mrs. Archibald
Roosevelt, daughter-in-law of the late
cx President, was stopped on Michigan
Boulevard Yesterday at the point of a re-
volver in the hands of an overzealous
city detective who suspected her of
being burglar-possibly the mysterious
woman in black" who has been dis
cussed in the case of Harrigan, the burglar,
who was shot to death by the police
on Sunday night.
Mrs. Roosevelt was not arrested, but
the statement of her identity was re-
ceived with considerable doubt.
Mrs Roosevelt was on her way 10 the
La Sale Street Station in her automo-
bile To take train for New York, whence
she will sail for Panama to join her
husband. At Randolph street and
Michigan avenue the car was halted by
the crush of traffic, and caught the eye
of Detective Sergeant Donnelly of Chief
Garritys office He noticed a pile of
sutcases and a fashionbly dressed young
woman, and he stepped over to investl-
gate.
When he found that the car had no
license plate he drew his pistol and
issued sharp command TO the chauf-
feur to pull over 10 the curb. 4 crowd
OF pedestrians halted 10 witness Wnat
promised to a spectacular arrest.
Donnelly, with visions Of the woman
in black, opened the tonneau door.
Who are YOU Madam" he inquired.
II am the daughter-in-law of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, former President OF the
United States, said Mrs. Roosevelt in
surprise
The detective showed his star. He did
not relinquish his hold on his pistol.
Have YOU any cards that will prove
your IDENTIFY he asked
Certainly said Mrs. Roosevelt, pro-
ducing her handbag and exhibiting sew
eral letters and visiting cards.
The detective was nonplused but not
convinced After moments hesitation
he consented TO let her proceed, but
ordered the chauffeur to report TO Chief
of Police Garritv as soon as the woman
had been taken to the La Sale Street
Station.
Later the chauffeur appeared as in
structed. lie gave his name as James
O'Sullivan and explained that Mrs.
Roosevelt was really Mrs. Roosevelt.
The license tag, he said, must have been
lost in the trip from her home to the
Loop

was begun before Mr.. Penrosc gave out
his interview.
The situation was also made interest
ing by the fact that Mr.. Penrose was
visited in Philadelphia today by Rep
resentative Bascom Slemp, National
Committeeman for Virginia, and David
Mulvane, National Committeeman Tor
Kansas. )
Senator Penrose has been recognized
as the leader of that contingent OF the
Republican Party known as the Old
Guard. Congressman Slenip and Mr..
Mulvane are of the Old Guard. The
sudden switch of the Old Guard tactics
is of the greatest significance, and the
fact that its members have come out
openly for Senator Knox makes the sit
uation of the utmost interest.
The progress made by General Leon
ard Wood for the Presidential nomina-
ton. and To a less extent the progress
made in the same direction by Senator
Hiram johnson of California, have wor-
ried the Old Guard considerably
AZ the outset of the prc-conventlon
campaign the Old Guard virtually COM
mitted itself to the aspirations of Sena-
tor Harding of Ohio for the Republican
nomination. II was not a full commit
ment, however. Senator Harding, 1t IS
understood. was told by Old Guard lead
ers that they would be for him if he
could make good, and he was told TO
go before the people and see what sort
of reception he got.
His recent experiences in primaries
and particularly the fact that he will
have to divide with General Wood, the
delegation of his own State at the Chr
cago convention convinced his support
ers that he could not be nominated. They
are saying so openly and the announce
ment Of Senator Penrose today that he
was for the nomination of Senator Knox
shows that Harding has been abandoned
by the Old Guard.

CARPENTERS AGREE
Continued from page

and when the vote was taken it was al
most unanimous. there still remaining
some who did not want to arbitrate but
wished to stand by their vote earlier in
the week to strike.
The result as whole WAS considered a
victory for Americanism and the prin-
ciples of fair play and square deal.
According to the agreement reached
the carpenters viii name three and the
master builders three men who shall con-
stitute an arbitration committee and these
SIX shall select a seventh men To preside
over their deliberations. This committee
is to meet within thirty DAYS for the pur-
pose of naming the seventh man. They
are to present their pleas and endeavor to
reach conclusion as speedily as possible.
There was no conference held last night
between the master builders and the
capenters nor was any attempt made to
bring the two groups together. At the
carpenters meeting the master builders
proposition to pay S an hlour was read.
This proposition was as follows:
AT meeting this evening, we wish TO
reiterate our proposition made to your
committee last Friday evening. that
we think an increase of IS per cent at this
time would be a iustihable and reasonable
increase in carpenters wages, and do not
feel that the public would assimilate
more than this amount.
This amount we are willing to pay,
commencing May ], 1920, and if you feel
that YOU could sustain an argument for a
greater amount before an arbitration
board we hereby express our willingness
to submit the matter of an additional
1919 cents which your committee claimed,
to the action OF an arbitration board
composed of three men selected by our
selves, three men selected by your body.
and the seventh man to be selected by
these SIX.
"We master builders, doing business
in Wilmington, Del. do hereby agree to
stand BY the resolution adopted by the
Master Builders Association, April /,

of 81 per hour for carpenters, beginning
