Predictions of a great split in the
Democratic party, with William Jen-
nings Bryan leading the revolt against
President Wilson's policies, came to
the verge of fuifilment at the big
jackson day dinner in Washington
Thursday evening. Sensational devel-
opments had been expected, and they
came. The president sent letter in
which he reiterated his demand for
ratification of the peace treaty with
out changes that would alter its mean
ing, strongly condemned the Lodge
reservations and urged that the entire
issue be referred to the people at the
coming presidential election.
Mr.. Bryan, addressing the huge
gathering of leaders, challenged Mira
Wilson's treaty policy and his utter
ances gave assurance that he and his
followers will fight the matter to the
finish in the Democratic convention If
necessary. He condemned the action
of the Republican majorityin the SEN
ate while conceding its right to die
tate the senate's course, and contin-
ued "Our plan has been rejected and
we must face the situation as it is.
We must either secure such compro-
misses as may be possible or present
the issue to the country. The latter
course would mean a delay of at least
fourteen months and then success only
in the case Of our securing two
thirds majority of the senate" The
party, said Mr.. Bryan, cannot afford
to share with the Republicans respon-
sibility for further delay, and cannot
go before the country on the issue that
such an appeal would present. He
even went so far as to repHdiate arti-
Gle x and to uphold the Lodge reser-
walton on that article, saying: IF we
do not intend to impair the right of
congress to decide the question Of
peace or war when the time for action
arises, how can we insist upon
moral obligation to go to war which
can have no force or value except as
it does impair the independence of
congress-"
It remains to be seen whether Mr..
Bryan can secure enough of follow
ing to bring about a real split in the
party. He himself is potential can
didate for the nomination, now more
than ever. and it may be President
Wilson will be compelled again to ac-
cept the place Of standard bearer. His
letter made no reference to this what
ever.
San francisco captured the Demo
cratic national convention after a
warm contest with Chicago and Kan
sas City. The Pacific coast metropolis
pledged $125,0OO and free use of the
Municipal auditorium, which seats
some 5000 persons. This is the high
est price ever paid for a convention.
The date for the convention was set
for Monday, June %, three weeks after
the Republican convention meets in
Chicago
The national committee backed mp
President Wilson by adopting resolu-
tons indorsing the treaty of Versailles
and denouncing as unpatriotic the at
titude of senators who are trying to
defeat it or to qualify it by multiplying
reservations.

COMMITTEE OF TO7 HAS
NO MAYORALTI CHOICE
Group Which Named Mitchell
to Battle Tanmany.

Joseph NJ. Price, who organized the
committee of 107 which nominated the
late John Purroy Mitchell for Mayor, de-
clared yesterday that published reports
that the group with which he is asso-
clated has considered any candidate for
Mayor in the coming campaign are un-
true. a recent meeting. he said. dis
cussed means of conducting the next
campaign, but no consideration has been
given to a candidate. He indicated,
however. that Tammany will be given
battle at the proper time.
In reference TO the article appearing
in the preess this morning of group
formed to support a candidate for
Mayor he stated, 'ft is very unfor-
tunate that the impression should be
given of the advocacy of any candidate
at this time. Any such action would
be exceedingly foolish and those at
tending the conference had nothing of
that sort in mind. The conference was
called solely to talk over the situation
relative to the next Mayoralty election.
THE discussion centred entirely on
the method to be pursued of organizing
all the forces of the greater city who are
opposed to the present Hylan oligarchy
and Tammany Hall. and the most eff
fectlve means of bringing back an in
telligent, responsive and efficient gov
ernment TO the city of New York. That
movement is under way When the time
comes-and it is n long way off--can-
didates will be discussed, but not until
then"

CHURCH COMMISSION
OPPOSES OPEN SHOP
Campaign Called Attempt to
Destroy Organized Labor.

Denouncing the open shop campaign
as an attempt to destroy the organized
labor movement. the Commission of the
Church and Social Service of the Fed
eral Council OF the Churches of Christ
in America issued a statement yester-
day declaring that "any such attempt
must be viewed with apprehension by
fair-minded peo pie" This council is
composed of representatives of thirty
one denominations.
The statement says that the term
open shop" is being used frequently to
designate establishments that are def
nitely anti-union. A shop of this kind,
II is claimed, is not an open shop. but
closed shop that is closed against MEM
bers of labor unions.
When. for example" says the state
ment. IAN applicant for work is COM
pelled TO sign a contract pledging HIM
self against affiliation with a union. or
when a union man is refused employ
ment or discharged merely on the ground
OF union membership. the employer is
using coercive methods and Is violating
the fundamental principle OF an open
shop Such action is unfair and mimi
cal to economic freedom and to the In
terest Of society, as Is corresponding
coercion exercised by labor bodies in be-
half Of the closed shop"

CHRISTMAS MELTED
WANDERERS HEART
But Waiting Wife Has Him
Sent to Workhouse.

The coming OF the Christmas season
softened the heart Of John J. Berry. 81,
who parted from his wife fourteen
years ago and never had gone back for
fear she would have the last word. The
long absent Berry. deeply imbued with
the Yuletide spirit. recalled with emo
tion how one day in 1906 no packed his
belongings and moved into the next
block. and so vanished.
Berry went out and purchased q box
or candy. Then, after shining up his
shoes and taking the kinks out of his
derby. he went to his wife's home. at
ss5 Grant avenue, The Bronx. There
was a short interval OF silence after
berry entered. Then there came screams
rom Mrs. Berry. and patrolman
dashed up the stairs. Mrs. Berry de-
manded her husbands arrest
When the case was called yesterday
n Morrisania Court Mrs. Berry said her
husband had thrown things at her and
she had been in danger or her life
Berry, when appealed to. said nothing
about his efforts at reconciliation or
the mighty hurl he had given the candy
box. After fourteen years he conceded
his wife the last word. The Magistrate
sentenced him 70 the workhouse for
thirty days.

CRAFTS DEFENDS PLAN
FOR AMERICAS UPLIFT
Crime Wave Nothing to Vice
Wave, Says Reformer.

DIR. Wilbur F. Crafts. superintendent
OF the International Reform Bureau. an
nounced yesterday that the adventures
of the screen had made the Sabbath In
America a vampire Sunday" DR..
Craftss assertions were made in an adj
dress at the West Side Y. NJ. C. A. The
Rev. DR.. Samuel Graffin, who presided.
introduced him as "the man who has
charge of Americas morals"
DR.. Crafts was particularly emphatic
in denounclng the ignorance of any one
who makes use of the phrase blue
laws" The Puritans didn't have any,
he declared "If you call n real law
blue you're n traitor" he said. you
have no right to call them blue or any
other opprobrlous color. If you do you
are a red anarchist. They are red,
white and blue laws.
Furthermore, even Il there was n
time when there was law forbidding a
man from kissing his wife on Sunday IL
was no worse time than now when
laws are needed to prevent men. from
going around kissing other mems wives"
The crime wave he said, was nothing
compared to the vice wave, and the oil
OF education and religion must be poured
on both of them.
''If a man is caught stealing merchan-
disc from a freight car he Is sent to
jail. but II man steals the railroad he
IS likely to be sent to Congress" he said.

RAN A BEAUTY PARL0R
Former Nurse Shot Widow
After Quarrel over Money
Settlement, Is Belief.
FIND PISTOL NEAR HAND
Both Dead When Police Are
Called by Customer Who
Discovers Bodies.

Miss discipline Hurley Of l25 Pioneer
street, Brooklyn. called Brooklyn 10
lice Headquarters on the telephone yes
terday afternoon and said:
1.-TWO women are lying on the iioor
ri The LADY Evelyn Beauty Parlor at
sel Van Brunt street. They are SO
sound asleep that I cannot wake them.
] think you ought to get a doctor for
them"
Headquarters notified the Hamilton
avenue station and Patrolman Edward
T. swift went TO the beauty parlor. The
door was open, and just across the thrs-
hold the policeman found the bodies Of

OF The beauty parlor. Both were dead.
A 32 calbre pistol lay on the floor near

tween the two women lay SINAI .
bloodstained pair of manicure SCISSORS
and a nail file.
After an investigation the police de-
clared that Miss Donegan had shot Mrs.
Hague and then turned the revolver
upon herself. The detectives, from
stories told them by friends and rela-
tiyes of the dead women, believe that
the shooting followed dispute over
money matters, caused by the announce
ment of Mrs. Hague that she was going
TO withdraw from the business and take
her money out of IL also, because she

held Miss Donegan's note for $3.50, ac-

putting in the venture all the money
they could obtain. Miss Donegan

been very profitable business and that
recently his sister had appeared to be
very much worried. Yesterday morn
ing, the police learned, Miss Donegan
telephoned the widow and asked her 70
20 TO the beauty parlor, as two GUS
toners had made appointments. One OF
these was Miss Hurley who discovered
the bodies. 1t is believed by the police
that the two women began to quarrel
almost as soon as they reached the
beauty parlor and that the quarrel cul-
minated in the shooting
Mrs. Hague was the widow OF Louis
Hague, a compositor on an evening
newspaper until he died two years ago.
II was at about that time that Miss
ponegan went overseas as member Of
Base Hospital Unit 81, which was sta
toned for a time IN England and then
went to France t0r duty. Since the
death of her husband Mrs. Hague had
been living with her mother, Mrs. II. L.

their inspection three boxes containing
fifty 90 calibre cartridges and a piece
Of gas pipe
where did YOU get the gas pipe?"
asked young McKenney.
II found it in the woods near Bergen
Beach last week." SAID Herbert. I'm
going to take this cap off the end Of IT,"
The boy went into another room and
came back with a wrench He held
the section of pipe in his les; hand. ur-
der his arm. and with his right he tried
TO mscrew a nut which held the cap
to the pipe. He loosened It. but the
moment he did so the gss pipe ex-
ploded, throwing the three boys to the
floor and causing one of the boxes Of
cartridges to explode, besides breaking
