EIGHT REGULARS SEATED.

Chicago, May 31.--In open session
today the Republican national com
mittee began deciding contests from
various State delegations to the con-
vcntion, but made only slow progress.
In what Chairman Hays character
lied as Judicial rather than political
decisions the committee seated reg
ularly reported delegates from Arkan
sas and Alabama; postponed the con,
test over the District Of Columbia
until tomorrow at 900 A. NJ. and
after giving an extended hearing to q
three-cornered contest from Florida,
adjourned over night without making
a decision.

MAY LAST FOUR DAYS MORE.

At today's rate OF progress Chair
man Hays estimated that the contests
would not be cleared up before Fri
day. Today's decisions will not be
factors in the strength of any candi-
date in the convention and ranged
principally about the questions of
regularity, although the race issue
frequently was injected.
In all decisions today the commit
tee was guided on questions of law
and precedent by Charles b. Warren,
Of Detroit, national committeeman
from Michigan. who was acting at
the request Of Chairman Hays as the
committee attorney At the conclu-
sion Of each contest Mr.. Warren is
sucd n statement OF the reasons upon
which the committee was acting.
Chairman Hays said that was part
Of his plan Of laying the committee
work before the country.

But he looked neat. and had very
good manners.
He always bought two Ioaves
OF stale bread. Fresh bread was
5 cents loaf. Stale ones were
two for 5 cents. Never did he
call for anything but stale bread.
Once Miss Martha saw a red

an artist and very poor. No doubt
he lived in a garret, where he
painted pictures and ate stale

Terrorizing District. q

New York. May ,,5.-F,ive masked
men entered a jewelry store at
and One Hundred and Fifth
this afternoon, terrified four en-
ployes with revolvers. seized trays
with watches. bracelets and dia-
monds worth many thousands of
dollars and made a clean getaway
in a stolen automobile. 1t was the
most daring daylight robbery that
has taken place here since the
crime wave that followed the
armistice. The store robbed is in
the heart of the business district
in the upper West Side. Scores of
men. women and children rushed
toward the place when they heard
shots from within as the robbers
were returning to the automobile,
but retreated when members of the
gang drew revolvers. Not a police
man was in sight as the car speeded
down Broadway and turned into a
cross street.
The shots inside the store were
fired by an employe as the last of
the robbers went out of the door.
The robbers donned their masks
while passing through a vestibule
into the store.

often when Miss Martha sat
down to her chops and light rolls
and jam and tea she would sigh,
and wish that the gentleman

meal instead of eating his dry
crust in that draughty attic. Miss
Martha's heart, as you have been
told. was a sympathetic one.
In order to test her theory as
to his occupation. she brought
from her room one day a paint
ing that she had bought at a sale,
and set it against the shelves be-

heart ached to add something

chase. but her courage failed at
the act. She did not dare affront
him. She knew the pride of
artists.

cooked a mysterious compound of

President Transmits Profer
Made Year Ago to Con-
gress for Approval.

]. Pierpont Morgan las offered t.
turn over to the United States as a
free gift to the government his
house in Hyde Park, London, to be
used as a residence for the Amer
lean Ambassador. The house is sit
uated at Nos. Is and IA Princes
Gate and was the residence of Mr..
Morgans grandfather and father.
President Wilson transmitted the
offer to Congress yesterday in a
letter in which 1t was explained that
the wish of Congress was sought as
to the acceptance of the property.
Although Mr.. Morgan made the Of
fer in a letter to the State Depart
ment on May "a. 1919, exactly year
ago, this is the first time that it has
been brought to the attention of
Congress.
Occupied by War Workers.
At the time the offer was made
the house was occupied By British
war relief workers. and Mr.. Morgan
stated that it would not be avail
able for use by the American Am
bassador until January |, 1890. On
April "a, Of this year, he wrote
again to the State Department,
stating that the house was vacant
and reply was desired as to
whether or not the United States
would take over the property.
Secretary Colby transmitted the
correspondence to President Wilson
with a memorandum to the effect
that MT. Morgan has recently ex-
pressed a desire to learn the inten-
ton of the government as to the
acceptance of his offer"
Mr. MorEan's Letter.
Mr.. Morgan's original tender Of
the property, as made in letter Of
May "a, 1919, in part follows:
For many years 1t has been evil
dent to mo that it is desirable that
the United States should own resi-
6ences for it's Ambassadors in the
principal capitals Of Europe. This
house, though not Of a size to sc-
commodate the Offices of the EN-
bassy as we'll az the Ambassador q

suitable residence for the Ambassa-
dor and is in a part Of Eondon sufi-

Reed Smoot senior Senator from

that unless Congress adopted his
amendment TO the Sundry Civil bill
to provide transportation home for
the thousands of government en-
ployes who will be discharged be-
tween now and July the first there
would be thoroughly bad conse-
quences."
Il want the government TO pay
the transportation OF these clerks
he said because they live up every
cent they get. and IL We do not Il
will be claimed that the govern
ment has thrown these girls out
into the streets without provision
for their safety or welfare. ! be-
lieve the Senate will agree to the
amendment, and am told the House
will not object.
Such a course will be better for
the girls. better for the govern
ment, and better all round. There
are thousands here now for whom
there is no work. l know of one
bureau in the War Department with
thirty employees who have not sent
out a hundred letters in the past
month"
Sffioot sharply criticised a request
by the Adjutsnt Generals depart
ment for 1900 additional clerks for
the completion OF the selectivs
service records.
81 am utterly opposed TO granting
this request" he declared. There is
no excuse for these 1900 additional
temporary clerks just as VIC are
bending every effort TO let some Of
this great army OF almost idle en-
ployes go home.-
