VICTIMS TELL
 OF LOSSES IN
 WILDCAT STOCK
Hundreds Write of Dealings With Swindlers In Shares
 In Oil Concerns
(.4ssociatea Pr.ss Leasca Wi,sJ


 NEW YORK, June 20. - Hundreds of letters from investors in oil stocks who asserted they had been the vic tins of fraud were received today at the office of the United States district attorney. The flood of correspondence followed the filing yesterday of five indictments by a federal grand jury against four oil companies, ten broker age concerns and 50 individuals, charging fraudulent use of the malls in selling oil stocks.
 Some of the letters bore tales of the loss of lifetime earnings through the investments. One woman said she had managed to save $500 which she in vested and lost and now was obliged to take in washing to support two small children. An aged couple wrote that they would be thrown on charity unless they could recover $500 with which they had purchased supposedly bona fide stock.

 NEW ORLEANS, June 25.-Declar- ing that "in Louisiana wine is uni versally used" despite prohibition laws. Arsene Perrilliat, chairman of the Liberty League, which claims 5000 members in Louisiana, today telegraphed President Wilson urging him to recommend to the Democratic national convention a platform plank proposing modification of the Volstead act.
 The message to the president, simi- lar to others sent last night to William J. Bryan and Democratic convention leaders, asserts that the league does not desire a return of the saloon or sale of distilled liquors, but merely the right of the individual to use wine and beer as he has long ben accus toned to-"

, The railroad boards statement de- clared that an agreement on method of working out the wage problems had been arrived at and that no time would be lost in reaching a conclusion
 Lee and others representatives of the recognized railroad brotherhoods who met here today to discuss the railroad wage situation, said there was no doubt the men would be satis- fled with the promise of a decision to relieve their impatience.
 "Was the decision the result of
 warning of probable strike,
 brought by you and your associ-
 ates to the board?" Lee was
 asked.
 "You can draw your own con
 cIusions as to that,"lee answered.
 In a later statement Mr. Lee de- clared that "even the most conserva- tive members of these organizations lately have been bitterly complaining of the delays and insist upon decls- ion"
 Now that it has been definitely de- cided that the award will be handed down not later than July 20,'' the statement said. we urge our men to continue to carry out their obligations to their organizations and the con- tract relations with the employees as the most effective means of helping the situation"
 General chairmen of the 15 recog nized railroad organizations will meet in Chicago July 19 to consider and pass upon the awards by the board, it was announced.
 "We came here to prevent a strike and at the same time to obtain full satisfaction for the men" said Tim othy Shea. president of the Brothher- hood of Locomotive Bremen, in com menting on the boards announcement.
 We have held our men back for three months. ever since the outlaw strikes began. We have lost 60,000 members by revoking charters of unions which called walkouts. We could not nOll the OlNeTS dHOlneT week, if the board had not promised us to announce it's decision in the i'm mediate future"
 1 Resolutions reiterating state
 ments of the Chicago Yardmen's l Association that it's members, who
 were the first to start the ''Vaca-
 tion waIkouts," would not return 1 to work until their full seniority rights were restored were adopted
 at a mass meeting called by the
 association tonight for the pur- pose of prosecuting their side of the case to the public"
 The resolutions appeal to the press and various civic and commercial or ganizations to urge the Interstate Commerce Commission to restore their seniority rights. Copies will be sent 10 the Democratic convention.

tTSSOCidIsd fTeSe Leased HfreJ
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.- The women members of the exec
 utiVe committee of the Demo- cratic convention today decided to
 recommend that no reference be i made to the prohibition question
 in the platform to be adopted by the convention.
 1t was also agreed to recom-
 mend that President Wilson's
 stand on the peace treaty and the
 League of Nations be approved.
 The following plank submitted by the labor committee of the women's bureau of the national committee, Mrs. Robert Bruce Bruere, New York, chairman, were adopted:
 Stand With Unions
 we affirm the right of collective bargaining between employers and employees through representatives of their own choosing. We approve also the national industrial councils estab- lished by employers and employees within the various industries, the findings of which shall have the ef- feet of ordinary collective agreements but not of judicial decisions subject to compulsory enforcement.
 ''We insist upon the abolition of the labor of chiAren under 14 years and that children between IA and IS shall be permitted to work only after pass ing examinations by local school and health authorities assuring proper standards Of health and education.
 We reaffirm our belief in the principles in the Democratic platform of 1916 and again urge the general adoption of the eight-nour day.

HARVARD WINS
 VARSITY RACE
 AGAINST YALE
Crimson Waves Above Blue At Finish of 52nd Annual
 Rowing Contest
L4ssoeiated PrcSs Leased Wire)

NEW LONDON. Conn. June 25. - Leading from the initial dip of their oars, Harvard's varsity crew defeat ed Yale in a spectacular four-mile race of the fiftysecohd inter-varsity regatta today by nearly six lengths, thus completely wiping out the sting of the double victory of their blue rivals in the two preliminary races.
 Rowing in magnificent form from the start of the long upstream bat tie. the oarsmen. coached by Bill Haines early demonstrated their superiority both in blade work and stamina and swept under the finish ing flags in 23 minutes while their rivals trailed in 35 seconds later in state of physical exhaustion. C. Peters. the Yale stroke and captain, who. it is reported. still was suffering from the effects of a recent illness, collapsed in the last eighth of a mile and thrice dropped his oar. Bow B. G. DrisColl also went down at the fin ish while the remainder of the eight had difficulty in sitting erect.
 The Crimson crowds tonight were celebrating the conquest in part as a vindication of the American rowing system, as opposed by the English methods adopted by Yale. The vic tory of the Harvard crew came as a surprise for Yale was favorte. at odds of 10 to 3, in the little betting that was done. This was partly due to the reported excellent time trials made by the Blue and the staunch faith of the Blue contingents that Guy Nickalls. the English coach had developed combination that would surely win.
 Both crews started on the long row al 5:16 D. m.

 SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. - So far as the suface indications were concerned, at least, the friends of President Wilson ard his administration appeared in complete control of the political machinery of the Democratic party as the actual prelinnarIes of the national convention began.
 Their dominion was not with out it's complement Of erumblines and complaints among scattering clements. but there was every cv- idence that on a showdown the anti-administration forces not only were far in the minority hut were lalcking in organization and leadership. The ascendency of the Wilson supporters showed it. self in striking fashion in the program for the national com mittee, meeting to decide between contesting delegates.
 Many committee members express ed the opinion when a recess was taken until tomorrow without the Georgia contest or the Missouri case having been reached that the ruling to he made in those cases would be shaped to keep out of the convention Senator Reed of Missouri and fcrmer Senator Hardwick of Georgia, two O. the bitterest critics Of the Wilson policies.
 Drive cn Glass Fails
 Another development poirting in the same direction was the apparent collapse of fight against Senator Glass of Virginia in his candidacy for chairman of the resolutions com monly reported to have been selected by the president himself.
 In addition there was accumu- Iating evidence that William Jen- nngs Bryan would find the cards against him in his attempt tc put into the platform a League of Nations plank in disagreement with the presidents views and a
 prohibition enforcement plank framed without the acquiescence
 Of the administration.
 With regard to prohibition, how ever, the situation remained in a state of considerable uncerta;nt. with the trend apparently toward ex clusion of the subject from the plat form entirely. Those who want a Liberalization plank continued an ac tive campaign and some members O the Now York delegation declared they would carry their fight to the floor Of the convention itself, but ;

sis through which agriculture was
passing, Of the changed conditions
under Which the farmers of the ma

Col. Graham touched on the increase
in tenantcy, the decrease in the rural
population and urged that measures

country to city. The increase in ten
antcy not only meant that the best of
the farm lands would soon be depict
cd but it was q social and political
problem, for it could not be expected
that those who had no abiding inter
est in the land or community would
contribute as much to the develop
ment of rural life as they would if
they owned land. Col. Graham eN-
pressed his appreciation of the honor
which had been conferred upon him
by his election last year as president.
He closed with a strong appeal for
better roads and schools.
At this afternoons session various
phases of practical farm life will be
discussed.
In a most interesting manner, state
forester r. S. Maddox told of the eff
feet of the destruction Of timber in
the state upon farm land. He plead
ed with the farmers to care for their
timber. and to leave it better than
when the farm was taken over. He

trees should be prHned and open at

may reach all branches. He advised
farmers not to experiment with new
varieties but to use some variety
which had been a proven success in
that section.
Following Mr. Garrison's talk, a
round table discussion of diseases Of
trees was engaged in by those inter.
csted in fruit growing.
