CAPITAL MENACED
BY REPETITION OF
1919 RACE RIOTS
fBy United Press.l

Washington, May 27.-Police here
were on the alert today for signs of
an outbreak Of race rioting such
as caused bloodshed in the streets
Of Washington last summer.
Alexandria, Va, near here, was
patrolled by troops during the night
for fear Of fighting between whites
and negroes.
The rumor appeared to have
originated in Information received
by the Washington police that ne
groes plotted revenge for the at
tempts to lynch William H. Turner.

Reps Open
DRIVE FOR
493 VOTES
Candidates Fight for Un-
instructed Delegates
Wood Now Leads.

Chicago. May 27.-Candidates for
the Republican nomination for the
presidency today opened their final
drive for the 493 votes that spell
victory in the convention which
opens here one week from next
Tuesday.
The last OF the 9S4 delegates who
will sit in the convention were Sc
lected yesterday when Vermont Re-
publicans met and chose eight
delegates.
Major General Leonard Wood,
present returns show, will enter
the convention with more instruct
ed votes than any other candidate,
but his total of 153 is less than
one-third of the number necessary
to win the nomination.
Despair First Ballot
The division OF strength among
the large field Of "favorite sons
practically precludes any possibil-
ity Of nomination on the first bal
lot. Even the most optimistic cam
paign managers here are not claim
ing victory before the third ballot,
and the more conservative party
leaders predict the break will not
come before the fifth or sixth at
the earliest.
One big factor which may upset
campaign managers predictions is
yet to be dealt with One hundred
and forty-five contests have been or
will be filed, more than one-seventh
Of all the seats in the convention
being at stake. The national COM
mittee meets here Monday to decide
these contests.
Center on Wood, L0wden.
The principal contests are be-
tween supporters of Major General
Wood and Governor Frank O. Low
den. Senator Johnson and other
candidates are not directly inter-
ested in these contests, but may
raise questions regarding primary
contests in South Dakota, New Jer-
sey, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska
and other states.
In addition to the 145 contests,
64 surplus delegates, with fraction
al votes, have been chosen from 10
states and the Republican national
committees rules provide that their
right to seats shall also be con-
tested as the convention call stated
that no oversize delegates would be
seated.

Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, d. c., May 27.-Sen-
ator Hiram Johnson may or may
not be the Republican nominee at
Chicago, but he can rejoice in the
fact right now that he is having
the time of his life with the So
called old guard of the Republican
party. Wriggling uncomfortably,
protesting Indignantly, yet con-
trolling their impulses sufficiently to
smother their feelings, the majority
Of the Republican senators are dis
tressed over the way the committee
headed by Senator Kenyon, pal of
Senator johnson, is investigating
the campaign expenditures of the
various presidential nominees.
The Republican senators who
have been through many a cam
paign and many an exposure of
campaign expenditures shook their
heads doubtfully when the plan was
first proposed and finally decided
to smother it altogether. But Sen
ator Johnson came back to Wash
ington and things happened. AL
though members Of the investigat-
ing committee deny that they have
any other purpose except to let
white light Of publicity shed its
pointed rays on the "slush funds
real or imaginary, of the different
Democratic as we'll as Republican
candidates. 1t requires no extra
ordinary power of political penetra-
tion to see th-t the whole thing is
part of the skillful maneuver OF
Hiram Johnson to fight his Repub-
lican opponents by continuous
smoke-screens about their cam
paign expenditures and the sup
posed effort of plutocracy to cap
ture political control of our govern
ment.
Doubt Political Wisdom.
Already the investigation has pro-
duced bitter feeling inside, the Re
publican party. Supposing Leonard
Wood is the nominee at Chicago?
Is it politically good sense to hand
the Democrats all the data and de-
tails of the Wood financial CAM
paign? Usually if there is an in
vestigation of money spent, it is
one political party investigating the
other. What the Republican lead
ers resent is that certain Republic
cans are really investigating the
Republican party. They want it
stopped. But the potential power
of Hiram Johnson to come out and
denounce the "old guard" as back
ing Leonard Wood impels the lead
ers to let well enough alone. So
they are content to let the investi-
CATION run it's course, with this ex-
ception:
If the investigation throws too
much mud on the various Re-
publican candidates and nobody
makes a move to inquire into the
financing of Hiram Johnsons cam
paign and the direct and indirect
support he is getting, some effort
will be made to bring that phase
of the question into the limeilght.
Indeed, the word is going the

The failure Of the brakes to work
On car No. 239 is given as the causel
'or the rear-end street car collision
IN the Rock Island arsenal at 1880
o'clock this morning, which result
ed in the serious injury of seven
arsenal employees and lessee injur-
les to II others. The most serious
injury was said to have been sus-'
tanned by Henry Waddell, being Sc
we're muscle bruises and a possible
fracture of the right leg.
The two cars were arsenal spe-
cials and the collision came about
half way up the island when car
No. 213 stopped to discharge pas
and car No 239 crashed
into it from the rear. Both cars
were badly damaged, but neither
was telescoped nor was the con-
lIctor on the forward car or the
on the car in the rear
caught in the jam.
Both cars were crowded and in
juries sustained by the passengers
resulted in their being thrown vio-
Iently against the sides of the car
and against each other. Witnesses
said there was a veritable tangle
Of humanity in both cars at the
of the impact.
Arsenal police and guards and
lninjured passengers soon had the
injured out and they were hurried
to Mercy hospital in Davenport
in arsenal ambulance trucks. A
staff of surgeons was gathered, but
It was soon learned that only a
lew of the passengers had sustain
