Mason City. June 8.---What effect
the lack of cars will have on the
primary road system paving here is
a question that is being asked by all
who are interested in seeing that the
work progresses. 1t is believed, how
ever. that the work will come almost
to stop. because of the interstate
commerce committees ruling allocat-
ing $4,000 open top cars from western
to eastern roads.
This order has resulted In many
cars in use here for gravel hauling
being taken eastward. Lack Of the
cars has caused the local sand and

 [ C0LLAPSE
G. w. Perkins In Starn-
 ford Sanitarium.

George w. Perkins, a noted figure in the world of finance Is now an inmate in a Stamford sanltarlum. Charles D. Lock wood who is counsel for the institution, recently inquired of the Stamford Probate Court as to the necessary procedure in case 1t becomes necessary to ask for a legal commitment. These facts were admitted by George w. Perkins, Jr., ac- cording to a statement in the New York World. -.
 MT. Perkins said:
 Father is there solely for treat ment for a nervous collapse. If his condition should get worse, it might be necessary to have a temporary commitment. either self-commitment or by order of the court, but I do not see any reason for it at present.
 Tt has been reported that your father is in a violent condition" the son was told.
 There is not a word of truth in that,' he replied. He merely has a nervous collapse"
 Asked why the location of the sani- tarium had been kept secret, the hnanc1er's son replied:
 We wanted to protect him from disturbance. You have no idea of the number of people whow ant to see him personally about political and other affairs. I have just returned from the Republican National con Ventlon in Chicago. where any num- Der of men demanded where father was, because they must consult him in person.
 T had to tell them ali that if any body wants to take up anything with him, they must not try to see him or communicate with him, but address any message to his office. where it will be attended to. He is not al- lowed to see anybody Or transact any business. The doctors have ordered him to have a complete rest and stop thinking about matters that have oc- cupied his mind heretofore. They say he must keep his mind off busi- ness and politics if he is to get well''
 MT. Perkins, ST., left his home, Glyndor, in Riverdale. early in May, going to u place near Ellenville. in the lower Catskils. His condition did not improve. Persistent reports that he was taken at some time to the Roosevelt hospital, were denied yes terday by his son, who said his father was taken to Stamford last week di- rect from the Catskills.
 It was last Sunday that MT. Lock- wood, an attorney for the sanitariun, called on Probate Judge John F. Heating and learned the steps to be taken in case a commitment should be necessary. MT. Lockwood is d law partner of Homer S. Cummings and was an Assistant District Attor- ney in New York under William Ira verS Jerome.

QUASH INDICTMENTS
 AGAINST WOOLEEV COS

New York, June 11-Indictments charging profteering against the American Woolen Companies of New York and Massachusetts and William M. Wood, president of the corpora tions, were quashed today by Federal Judge Mack
 Judge Mack sustained a demurrer lnterposed by Charles E. Hughes, special counsel for the defense. which held that woolen goods did not constitute wearing apparel and there fore did not come within the meaning If. the Lever act
 Judge Mack said wearing apparel was clearly a necessity but that con sress by its amendment of Oct. 22, 1919, to the original Lever act clearly had in mind the trade signification of what cloth meant. The court added that although it held that congress has power to regulate distribution of woolen cloth it felt that since con- STess did not broaden the trade mean ing of the term wearing apparel to include a bolt of cloth, the court was unable to find any meaning in the act other than the general trade use of the term
 American Woolen shares became achve in the stock market on an nouneement that indictments against the company and it's officials had been quashed. The stock showed an extreme gain of four points at noon.

pret the shadow of coming events. We do not need to speculate concerning g Leonard Woods foresight
 When the great war broke upon the consciousness of the American people with a terrific shock it found that Leonard Wood had been prepar- ing. We heard from him no plati- tudes about a million men springing to arms over night. On his own in itlative he established the Plattsburgh training camps, created the first line of the national defense and gave to the thousands of magnificent young American men who volunteered a new definition of loyalty, a new op- portunity for service, a new vision of their national obliga ton.
 The American soldier is a citizen soldier Leonard Wood holds fast to the traditions of the great citizen sol diers of the republic. A plain, blunt man, with blunt belief in facts, he is today the best known American. In the frank expression of his beliefs there is no hidden motive No candi- date for high office has ever gone to the people of this nation with soul and mind so frankly revealed as Leonard Wood.
 NO endeavor of his life presents in truer colors his calm and steady strength than the work at Gary It was the old quarrel that took him there---the struggle between those who hired and those who toll, the only form of civil strife which gov ernment still allows to menace a help less public. His calm decision at that hour not only brought security to Gary but assurance and profound re- lief to the waiting country. The sue cess of his sane and just endeavor brought back to men their faith in government
 Again at Omaha in the racial riots, in West Virginia fin the labor trou- bles, he visua1ized not military power but the peculiar determination which should be always the American pledge to protect the rights of all by firm and righteous government.
 "As President, he will not seek sp create for himself a neutral back. ground out of mediocre men, The nation will have that to which the people are entitled in it's councils the united brain power of real lead CTS.
 ''The sum total of preferential ex- pressions mar ks him as the outstand- ing candidate in the minds of the whole people.
 ''The choice that is made now may mould the character of the nation for 50 years and perhaps longer. for restive minds are plastic and the leadership that comes now will go far to determine the character of our government henceforth.
 There isn't an American worthy to be here who does not believe in the future leadership of this country. We'll have that leadership when we are worthy and that leadership will not depend upon any international so- y9yi1 upon the success which we make of the experiment of human government here and to that call the instinct of every man must rise.
 With full appreciation of the cha al- lenge of the hour, I present the name of the man who fits the hour---Leon- ard Wood'

NO COMMENT ON
 SAk0'S ARREST

Police officials were silent today day regarding the arrest of Carmelo Sako, of 8 Marlin avenue, Milford i; John Roverti, of 4o5 Pembroke street; Andrew Fusco, of 5 Sherman street, and Thomas Caperosa, of 104 -Hallett street, all of whom were taken into custody last night by Sergeant Frank Virelli, of the State police and a num- Der of local detectives.
 The four were arrigned in the City court this morning, on a charge of breach of the peace investigation, and the cases were continued until June 16.
 No information regarding the rea- son for the mems arrest was made public in court this morning, and of- icers connected with the case refused to talk. That two of the men are be- lieved to have committed a very seri- ous offense is indicated by the fact that bonds have been fixed at $5,000 for Sako and $2,000 for Caperosa.
 It is understood that the police regard Sako as the most important member of the quartet. The other three are said to be held as witnesses and it was reported this morning that Fusco had been released.
 State Policeman VireIli refused to discuss the cases in any way today. except to state that Sako is wanted for very serious offense. He denied that the man is heinz held in con. nection with a murder case.

London, June 11-Possibi1ity of the abandonment of the Spa conference between representatives of the allied governments and Germany is being discussed in European capitals. The success of the independent socialists and the conservatives in the German election leads to the belief in France that Germany is less than ever ip- clined to carry out the treaty. This belief with the prospect that Giovanr. Giollitti, former Italian premier, will form new ministry in that country is said to have moved Premier Mill lerand of France to oppose any fur ther yielding in the question of Ger man indemnity, such as might be ex- pected to result from the Spa meet ing.

CALLS GENERAL WOOD
 BEST KNOWN AMERICAN

Chicago, June-Described as the Outstanding candidate in the min ds | of the people, Major General Leon | ard Wood was formally nominated ! today by Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, for the Republican presiden- ! tial nomination.
 "A plain, blunt man, with a blunt [ belief in facts" Governor Allen said of General Wood "he is today the best known American.
 "No man in America has been given so many constructive things to do in this generation and no one de- mes that whatever he has under taken he has done super1atively well.
 An unexpected period of confu- sion has come upon us in the after. math of the great war. Old ways are lost and leadership, hesitant and lndecis1ve, drifts upon an unchart- ed. sea.
 Under the weak hands of a tirnor :. ous government the social disorders and -class-minded isms caught from the world struggle have grown to alarming proportions.
 The unchecked encroachment of sinister greed, the appalling waste of public money, the immoral panderins to class interest and class prejudice nave brought us to a point where the nation demands and the world expects from this great council leader chosen out of the great need and not through the cunning of political ex- pediency
 Tn. seeking for the initiative and the prophetic wisdom to guide us ill an hour that must be wholly con- struct1ve, We are fortunate in a cam o1date whose record reveals the quail. ties needed for the task
 It IS not necessary to ask for as- surances from General Wood. There IS the witness of his service.
 You ask for business man. We present to you a record of four years as governor of Cuba, a record which salned him international fame as the most successful civil administra tor tne country has known. Leonard .Woods service in Cuba constitute a page of history which records the cleanesst and most unself1sh thing one nation evers did for a needy people Chosen to work out the benevolent policy Of Mckinley toward the people or the Island for whom we had sacri- flced; our sons, he was given a free hand
 "A president must be business man and more. He must be a states man. He must have a broad view of the internal situation. He must know politics, for politics is what gives us our government, be it good or bad. Government is no better than it's politics, and to improve the one you must improve the other.
 'The vague longing for a business man for president will not be satis- lied by one who knows only business. The president must unders--nd world affairs and the crossing and recross- ing currents of social and economical aspirations. It was the possession of this broad capacity that brought to Leonard Wood at the concluion of his work in Cuba the commendation of the leaders of the period.
