Washington, June 2. - The mys-
terious McAdoo boom emerged
from the political catacombs today
and swatted the Palmer candidacy
eth violence that echoed and re-
verberated throughout the capitol.
The Palmer forces, headed by
the attorney general, struck back
savagely and the welkin rang with
the exchange of blows, somewhat
to the displeasure of the democrats
oe ,upying ringside seats.
Attacks Attorney General.
The combat was staged before the
senate committee investigating CAM
paign expenditures 1t began when
Judge Eugene c. Bonniwell of
Philadelphia, leader of the McAdoo
campaign in Pennsylvania, buntly
charged that Attorney General Pal
mer, through his henchmen, had
entered into a deal with the liquor
interests, under which certain por-
tions of the Keystone state were
permitted to become as wet as the
Atlantic ocean
When Mr.. Palmer heard that
Judge Bonniwell was giving such
testimony he rushed at once to the
committee room with fire in his
Quaker eyes. He took a seat op-
posite the judge, and sat glowering
at him during the remainder of his
testimony.
Palmer Demands Hearing.
Attorney General Palmer immedi-
ately demanded hearing and the
committee promptly granted it.
Standing across the table from
Judge Bonniwell Mr.. Palmer shout
cd that the testimony was utterly
false" and was simply a repetition
Of SANDER which had been circu-
lated during the primary campaign
TO defeat him. He admitted that the
government was having a hard time

ton law, but laid the blame at the
door of the bureau of internal rev.

Roper, who will be field manager for
the McAdoo forces at the San
Francisco convention.

demanded "fve minutes for re-
buttal." He declared in turn that
Mr.. Paimer's statement was false
from beginning to end" The attor-
ney general left the committee room
and when Bonniwell's few minutes
had expired the committee turned
its attention too other matters.
Describing the recent primary
contest in Pennsylvania, Judge Bon

The present wage difficulties be-

to the rank and file of the union
who attended a spirited meeting last
night in the new Labor tempe,
Nineteenth and Davenport streets.
More than 800 members attended
the meeting.
Efforts of the more radical ele-
ment of the union to force in line
hundreds of men who voted against
strike by denouncing them as
traitors to the cause" and double
crossers," were of no avail
THE older men in the union are
against strike" a motorman, who
had been with the company for more
than IS years, said.
Attacks Anti-Strikers.
A speaker who championed the
cause of strike declared the men
who signed the petition circulated
by the company against the strike
did not have any backbone.
"The company would think more
of you men," the speaker said, "if
you would come out and declare
yourself in the open instead Of
pussyfooting around and thinking
that you are going to get a stand-in
with the boss. You men who signed
that petition stating that you would
remain loyal to the company haven't
any backbone. If this union is going
to get anywhere we must all stick
together"
A more conservative speaker was
declared "out of order" by the chair
man when he sought to tell why he
had voted against a walkout.
Meet Again Today.
After the meeting had been ad-
journed the executive board held a
private session and discussed plans
for second meeting with COM
pany officials which will be held at
II this morning.
Allen H. Burt, member of the
general executive board of the
Amalgamated Association of Street

tave refused to meet, counseled with
the executive board and advised
them what moves to make at this

DELEGATES SENT
FROM'KANSASCITY
Action by C. o. P. Committee
Taken on Grounds of
Fraud in Selection.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, June 2.--kansas City's
brand of politics is distasteful to
members of the republican national
/ committee, which voted unanimous
ly tonight to refuse delegate seats
in the national convention to either
of the contesting factions from the
fifth Missouri district. comprising
10 wards in Kansas City and seven
townships.
This action was taken on the
ground that there had been fraud
somewhere in the selection of the
delegates. 1t was stated in the COM
mittee that the republican party
could not afford to uphold such
methods as were disclosed in the
arguments and briefs of the oppos-
ing sides. There were charges of
"hog-tied" conventions. colonization

The contcstlng delegates were
known as the marks or DOSS ele'

Proctor of Kansas City and Thomas
J. Hedrick of Buckner were the con-
testants, the regulars on the calen-
dar, and Robert ]. Flick of Kansas
City and Jesse L. Martin of Inde-
pendence were the contestees.
Neither faction of delegates was in
structed and there was no charge
of money having been used in their
selection. 1t was rather the method
by which both factions sought con.
troll OF party machinery in the dis
trict that was objected to. Albert
L. reeves represented the Flick
Mart,n group. Isaac Krimbal, the
ether group. The air in the commit
tee room was blue with accusations
and charges.
The committee voted down a mo-
ton of Committeeman S. A. Perkins
to seat Flick and Martin. A roll

Glenn Virgins Gets Fired
And Drops Roll Of $110
By Being a Good
Fellow.

Glenn Wiggins, living at the
Neville hotel, wanted to be good
fellow. The result was that he lost
his good job, lost $50 belonging to
two of his friends and lost $110 of
his own money.
This how it all happened:
Wiggins until Monday worked at
the Sherman Nc Connell drug store,
Sixteenth and Dodge streets. A
friend of his named Henry Schlak,
7l6 North Twentieth street, in
formed Wiggins that he could buy
some good liquor.
He Didn't Come Back.
Wiggins told Schlak that he was
not prohibition crank but just did
not care for the intoxicant. But
Wiggins told the liquor salesman
that he thought he knew two fellows
who would buy the whisky. They
were prominent men, too, he said.
They gave Wiggins a check for
$50. He cashed the check at the
Sherman Mcconnell store. The
money then was given to Schlak
who was to return with the booze,
but he didn't. The management of
the drug store learned of the story
and discharged Wiggins. according
to his story.
Loses Roll of $110.
While leaving the drug store,
Virgins said he took a package of
cigarettes from his pockets and
while doing SO, he believes that
$ll0, his entire savings, which was
wrapped neatly and tied with a
rubber band, slipped out of his
pocket. Last night Wiggins went
to police headquarters where he told
his hard luck" story. He wants the
police to locate Schlak and also aid
him in finding his "bankroll."
The police refused to divulge the
names of the two prominent men
who put UP the 80 "iron men,"
