Chicago, June 9.-Twenty- SUBJ
jects, ranging from enforcement of the
prohibition act to free former hapless in
ventors, were discussed by sixty persons

High spots in the meeting included a
vigorous attack over the anti-strike fea-
lures of the Esch-Cummins railroad bill
and the Karsas industrial courts law by
Samuel Gompers; strong plea by Sem
ator Capper of Kansas and others for en-
forcement of the dry laws clash be-
tween members of the committee when
Ben c. Marsh, representing a farmers
organization, made what one committee
man called ''socialistic speech and a

TIME ALLOWANCE ENABLES
REsoLUTE TO DEFEAT vAyITIE

Newport R. L. June 9.-The sloop
.Resoiute with the aid of her time al
Iowance of one minute and AZ secnods
again defeated the Vantie in the fourth
elimination race of the Americas cup de-
fense trial series today, winning by an
even minute. The race was sailed in a
twelve knot breeze over triangular
course, and as the wind shifted more
than four points. windward work did not
develop on any leg.
The Vanitie started sixteen s~ds
ahead of the Resolute but coulu not
shake her off, although she sailed the
first leg 22 seconds faster This Reg was
broad reach in small balloon jib, top
sails. The second lie gwas run before
the wind. The Resolute gained in the
last five miles bein gony IA seconds
astern at the second mark. Instead of to
the windward, the last leg was a clsoe
fetch in which the Vanitie gained, but
not enough to save her time allowance
The Vanitie's elapsed time for the
thirty miles is said to be record but
as far as known. previous records have
been made with windward legs, making
comparisons unsatisfactory. The fifth
race of tffc series will be sailed tomor-

LEAGUE OF. NATIONS FIGHT
UPsETs PROGRAM FOR TO-DAY

Chicago, June $50 involved has the
fight become over the league of nations
and SO indefinite are the prospects of it's
end, that the program for the convention
tomorrow is upset and thrown into doubt.
1t meets at IL O'Clock and has nothing
further before it but to hear the report
of the resolutions committee, adopt a
platform and nominate candidates. One
plan has been prepared to skip the plat
form until the comn4ttee is ready to re-
port and go ahead with the nominating
speeches. Those who proposed it MAIN
tain it is possible to do so under the
rules of today which provided for "unfin-
ished business at the bottom of the list
of procedure. They contend the platform
could be considered the unfinished busi-
ness and the convention could get the
nominations out of the way without re-
naming idle while the resolutions COM
mittee fights out the league issue.
The Wood and Lowden people particu-
larly express themselves as unalterably
opposed to that Ian of procedure.

CHINA Is FACING NEW
CRISIS IN CABINET

Peking. May 1o.-Another cabinet cris-
is is developing here. Premier Chin Yum
Peng wrote out his resignation as early
as Friday of last week and would have
sent it in to the president had not the
latter got wind Of the premier's inten-
tion and sent one Of his secretaries to
him with the request that he hold up his
resignation for the present This Chin
Yup-peng consented to do. but there is
no doubt that he is determined TO resign
as soon as the president can agree with
the Anfu cab upon his successor.
The reasons for Gen. ChiD's desire to
resign are not hard to find. He is a pu-
Dil of Marshal Tuan Chi-jui and has
been under the Marshars direct influences
ever since he assumed Office. Indeed. ac-
cording TO Chinese Etiquette. he could
not do otherwise than submit to Tuan's

CONN. DELEGATION WRESTLING
WITH THE L. OF \. PROBLEM
CBy a staff CORRESPONDENT

l.
Chicago June 9.-Except for the men,
bers on the credentials and resolutions
committees, today was an easy one for
the Connecticut delegation. Messrs
Walsh and U1lman, on the above nam
ed committees, were busily engaged night
and day. The committee has been
wrestling with the League of Nations
problem. Col Ullman is favoring the
league with broad reservation.
The Connecticut delegation has made
no definite choice on candidate to be
supported. That may be reached tomor-
row morning before the opening of the
convention or late in the day.
The same uncertainty prevails regard
ing the choice of the convention. The
leaders are at sea as much as others,
and. it is conceded that little can be
told of the outcome until after the Sec
ond ballot There are those who have
their ideas but that is all that they
amount to.
Lowden,, Harding and Coolidge senti-
ment is to be found in the Connecticut
delegation but it is hoped that the ma
jority sentiment will prevail
The effort of Attorney General Allen
of Massachusetts get a meeting of the
New England delegations failed of ac-
complishment. but, with the leaders from
a section of the country other than New
England, COOilQSe COutu expect IIuCH
support for second place and would make
particularly strong man for that po-
sition.
The transportation committee of the
delegation has not only been Informed
that there will be athorough investiga-
ton of the breach of contract relative
to the trip here but, the equipment that
was promised would be furnished on the
return trip over the same road and will
be in readiness Saturday morning in case
the convention adjourns in time for the
delega ton to depart then.
The short session today gave the del
egation another chance to take sight
seeing trips, visit the theatres and the
ball game while not listening to the arg
uments of the different candidate boost
ers.

The defendant company filed demur-
rer claiming that the Arizona courts alone

tween the same parties to recover for
