Wood Conference
ere Eliminates
Campaign Friction
General Discusses Outlook
at Buffet Luncheon:
To Speak at Passaic
Meeting This Afternoon

Several hours of informal discussion
between General Leonard Wood and
forty of his supporters resulted last
night in the elimination of some of
the friction that has been apparent
among those who hope to make him the.
Republican Presidential nominee.
The general discussed organization
plans at buffet supper at the Harvard
Club, where he will be guest until
noon to-day. He then will go to Pas
sale, where he will deliver an address
this afternoon, after which he will con-
tihue on ms way to- Washington to az
tend conference of army heads.
Explanations of the retirement of
John I. King from General Woods ma

various persons.

General Wood told me that after a
long conference with Mr.. King it had
been decided By Mr.. King that he could
not accept place in the national organ

Moore, who spoke for the general. The
remainder of the members, believing
that the campaign now was too large
to be left IN one mans hands were
unwilling to permit him to have charge

1t was learned from other men who
participated in the conference that
some of the leaders who believe thew
can obtain delegates for the former
Roosevelt supporter were unwilling to
deal with King. They said that they
could do more for General Wood if
King withdrew and left somebody more
popular among outside politicians in
charge.
Perkins Absent
1t was regarded as significant that
George W. Perkins, one of the closest
associates of Colonel Roosevelt and
looked upon as an equally ardent sup
porter of General Wood, was not pres
ent at yesterdays conference. Re-
ports that Mr. Perkins had refused to
take part IN the Wood campaign until
Mr.. King withdrew we're denied. how

SUGGESTIONS MADE
FOR The SAVING
OF GAS SUPPLIES
Bureau of Mines Makes Suggestions
To States Where Natural Gas Is
Used As Fuel.

In order that the best possible use
may be made of the remaining supply
OF rapidly waning natural gas in this
country, the National Committee on
Natural Gas Conservation, after Sc
ries of meetings with the Bureau of
Mines, has issued for the guidance of
the State utility commissions in which
natural gas is used series of sugges-
lions that if followed may at least re-
duce the severity of the shortages in
different parts of the United States and
prolong the supply.
The suggestions as far as they relate
to the work of the public utility COM
missions and the consumers of natural
gas are as follows:
That the State utility commissions
of each state in which natural gas is
used request every natural gas com
pany in their respective states to sub
nit TO them a report on or before Oc-
tober /, 1920, indicating the extent to
which natural gas is supplied for in
dustrial as we'll as well as for domestic
purposes; stating in detail what re-
arrangements in operating and finan-
cial conditions would be necessary or
desirable to cable the companies to
