A. HI. Bullen, Scholar,
Is Dead i'm England
Noted on Two Continents as
Authority ON Literature of
10th and 18th Centuries

LONDON, March 17.--Arthur Henry
Bullen, Elizabethan scholar and critic
and founder Of the Shakespeare Head
Press, is dead at Stratford- Avon,
England. He was sixty-three.
Mr.. Bullen's reputation as an au-
thority on sixteenth and seventeenth
century literature is as we'll recognized
In the United States as in England.
Mr.. Bullen began to concern himself
with the lesser known Of the drama
lists Of Shakespeare's time at an early
age. His early output includes rare
editions of John Day. the collection
Of old English plays, the works Of
Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Middle
ton, George Peele and John Marston.
His most appealing works were his
lyrics from the Elizabethan song books
and his rediscovery Of Thomas Campion,
who was lost to literature for nearly
three centuries. The finding of many
lyrics in the original manuscripts in
the Bodleian and Christ Church libra
ries- is we'll known to-day, while the
resurrection of Thomas Campfon oc-
casioned perhaps the happiest of the
sonnets Of Edmund W. Gosse.
Mr. Bullen was the son of the late
DR.. George Bullen, G. B., IL. D., who
for many years was keeper of the
printed books at the British Museum,
and was educated at the City of Lon
don School and at Oxford. During
Mr.. Asquith's Premiership a civil PEN
sion honoris causa was conferred upon

to-day to discuss matters relating to
himself that had been presented to the
committee. Although members of the
committee said yesterday they would
make. 1t an open hearing If Mr.. Colby
desired 1t, the meeting was executive.
1t. was said after the hearing by
Senators that they expected to-mor-
row to order report on the nomina-
tion without recommendation"
Members of the committee said that
Mr.. Colby stated his case we'll. Sena-
tor Hitchcock declared that Mr.. Colby's
testimony completely overturned the
case Of the opposition" Senator
Lodge, chairman Of the committee, ad-
mitted that Mr.. Colby had stated his
case we'll, and that so far as the tes-
timony presented by Herbert Parsons
was concerned, the matter had not be-
come question Of veracity between
Parsons and Colby.
Colby seemed particularly anxious to
avoid the waiting newspaper men after
his star chamber hearing. He re-
NAMED in the room until after all the
Senators had left, and little later
Senator Pittman returned and hurried
him out Of back door to a seldom
used elevator back in the "old library

HitchcOckSeeks
Nomination as
Moderate W. ct
Continued frsm psss sas

Bryan, whose primary objectYon to him
as the states choice for the nomina-
tion lies in the fact that Hitchcock is
not a prohibitionist. Before leaving
Washington to-day Mr.. Bryan, refer
ring to his own candidacy for election
as delegate-at-large from Nebraska,
said:
"1f am elected delegate, and Me-
braska instructs for Senator Hitchcock,
I personally will not vote for him, but
will let my alternate do So"
Friends of the Senator declared that
If he could add to his prestige by de-
feating Mr.. Bryan on his own ground
and among his own people, it would fol-
low logically that his candidacy,
founded on "wet" platform more
moderate than the "wet-as-th -the-ocean"
demand of Governor Edwards, would be
formidable factor in the convention.
Liberal leaders in the Democratic
ranks have refused to take the Edwards
candidacy seriously because Of his ex-
treme views on prohibition, Hitchcock's 8
friends declare, and they insist that the
Nebraskan is of Presidential caliber
whilu the New Jersey executive is not.
They admit that, in order to win favor
elsewhere, Senator Hitchcock must de-
molish Mr.. Bryan in Nebraska and
leave no doubt as to whether he con-
trolls affairs in his own delegation.

Among the many stories told Of him
perhaps the best one is regarding his
experiences with Ben Thompson, BAN
dit leader, in the days when the Austin
authorities were unable to cope with
bandits who infested the city.
Colonel Gaines, in his editorials, GEN.
sured officials for inaction against
Thompson and his band. These edi-

who said he was coming with his gang
to blow up the printing establishment
and take Gaines's life. When he ar
rived he found Gaines, unarmed, calmly
waiting for him.
Thompson pocketed his revolver and
walked up to the editor. The two en-
gagged in conversation. When they
parted they shook hands, and Thompson
said: "You're the bravest man / ever
saw in my life"
After that Austin was not troubled
by the bandit. The editor later became
colonel in the Texas National Guard.
Colonel Gaines's body is at Camp.

Colonel William c. Proctor, chair
man of the Leonard Wood National
Campaign Committee, fatty repudiated
yesterday an alleged interview which
made him say he knew Senator Penrose,
OF Pennsylvania, was against General
Wood and that the Wood people expect
ed to have majority Of the Pennsyl-
vania delegates, regardless Of Sproul
or any other dark horse.
"This alleged interview was never
given by me-" said Colonel Proctor,
NOR has any one connected with Gen
eral Woods campaign made any such
statement to the press. We have been
so busy in the West that we have not
yet had time to give serious attention
to Pennsylvania, and therefore have
issued no statements or authorized in
terviews bearing on the situation in
that state. have heard that numer-
GUS Leonard Wood leagues were work
Ing throughout the state to have Cen
eral Wood named as second choice to
Governor Sproul, but have not had an
opportunity to 60 into the political
situation there"
Thomas l.. Raymond, former Mayor
and now City Commissioner of Newark,
slated by the organization leaders Of
New Jersey to be one Of the Big Four
to the Chicago convention, yesterday
declared for General Wood. Commits
sioner Raymond is pronounced "wet." !"
In his statement on General Wood he
said:
II am satisfied from the assurances
Of his personal friends that he will not
'disappoint expectations Of our citizens
who believe in personal liberty"
Mr.. Raymond said he was the only
delegate to vote for General Wood in
the 1915 convention. He said large
popular desire for the nomination Of
General Wood has evidenced itself in
all parts Of the country. He declared
General Wood is not a militarist; that
he has had experience in civil admins
tration, and has been in close touch
with the political situation since the
Spanish war.
There will be conference Of the Re-
publican leaders and the Wood man
agers tomorrow, either in Trenton or
Newark, at which the advisability of
running Wood primary ticket in New
Jersey will be discussed. The Wood
men desire an unequivocal declaration
from United States Senators Freline-
huysen and Edge that they will be frst
last and all the time for Wood In the
Chicago convention.

and on his return to the room said the
Senator had told him that somebody
had persuaded the army engineers to
look upon the Port of New York as "a
nonentity," and that Newark Bay peo-
pie were before the engineers seeking
to have Newark Bay dredged to depth
of 35 feet. The commissioner did not
think that the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors would allow enough
money to dredge Jamaica Bay to
depth of 80 feet and Newark Bay S5
feet.
''If we don't get busy with the neces-
sary legislation, we can't go ahead and
build 1,0OO-foot piers on Jamaica Bay
said Commissioner Hubert. "The army
engineers seem to be under the impress
sion that the Jamaica Bay improvement
is new thing, while, as matter Of
