Sc Delegates for
Wood, Says Proctor

From TIE T'Jbuns's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Eighteen
OF Missouri's thirty-six delegates will
be for Leonard Wood. Colonel William
.. Proctor wired Senator Moses to-day.
The Proctor information is based on
tho report Of special committee which
has just returned from a conference
with Republican leaders in St. Louis.
This was the best news received in
the wood camp here for some time, for
the Missouri situation has been sore
spot. The situation is that originally
the entire thirty-six delegates were to
De Tor Wood, as result Of work done
by John T. King. After King got cut
the Wood boom and were very frank in
their statements in January that Wood
you'd not get delegate. Senator
Spencer, who Is up for reelection in
Missouri this fall, made canvass and
announced some time ago that the over
whelming majority Of Republican
county chairmen were for Harding.
News that one-half of the Missouri
delegates, in spite of the slump which
followed King getting out, are now for
Wood, therefore, is highly gratifying
to Wood men here.
Word also reached here to-day that
Frank H. Hitchcock had succeeded fair
ly we'll in smoothing out the Oklahoma
situation, with the result that General
Wood is now apt to get a considerable
sprinkling Of votes there.
Ex-senator William Alden Smith, of
Michigan, who was talking with former
colleagues during tho treaty fight to-
day, declared his opinion that General
Wood will win the Michigan primary
state at the Chicago convention.

little they did give was usually just be-

Porter to Take Stand
In Pictorial Co. Suit
Revenue Agents Tell of Follow
ing Weber, Charged With
| Rr.iherv

William d. Allen and Jacob M. Gross
man were the only witnesses yesterday
in the case Of Jay A. Weber, secretary
of the Pictorial Review Company, who
is charged with attempting to bribe
agents Of the Internal Revenue De-
partment to falsify income tax returns
Of the corporation. Both men were
revenue agents who were ordered to
follow Weber by Colonel Daniel L..
Porter, head of their department.
On direct examination, both wit
nesses told Of having followed Weber
and the two income tax experts, Crop
per and Schlanger, for two days prev
ious to the day the alleged bribe of
$500 was given to Gropper, as we'll as
the arrest Of Weber on June 6, when he
was leaving the Hotel McAlpin after
having lunched there. A third revenue
agent, Hubert Stokes, found the money
in the possession Of Gropper, they
said.
While John B: Stanchfield was cross
examining Allen, it was found Gross
man was in the. courtroom. He was
ordered out by Judge Cushman, upon
Stanchfield's request, while Allen was
being questioned.
Benjamin P. Dewitt, Special AS
sistent United States Attorney, prose
cutting the case for the government,
said he had expected to put Colonel
Porter on the stand as soon as he
returned from Washington to-day. He
will also put in evidence documents
to show that Gropper and Schlanger,
the two revenue agents, had authority
to examine the books of the Pictorial
Review Company.
The trial will continue this morning.

n. Dakota Votes
For Presidential
Delegates To-day
Factional Struggles in State
Overshadow Other Issue;
Election to Show Strength
of Non-P PARTISAN League
Special Dispatch to The ry.1un.

FARGO, N. D., March Is. - Bitter
factional struggles involving state
issues to a greater degree than ma
tional issues will culminate in to-mor-
rows Presidential preference election
to be held in North Dakota, when the
major political parties will elect ten
delegates each to the national con-
ventions.
AS far as the Presidency is concerned
the elections will be colorless. Only
one Presidential candidate, Senator
Hiram w. Johnson. Of California, is
entered in the Republican primary.
There is no Presidential candidate in
the Democratic party primary.
The elections will determine. how
ever. the degree of control the Non
partisan League will get in the affairs
Of the Republican and Democratic
parties, nationally speaking, within the
state, for the league has entered a
candidate for the Republican as we'll as
for the Democratic committee berth.
Both posts will be filled in to-morrow's
election, with H. H. Perry, present
committeeman and representatives Of
the regular Democrats being opposed
by l.. P. Baker, brought into the fight
by the Nonpartisan sympathizers in
the Democratic party. In the Republi-
can party Gunder Olson, the present
committeeman, supported by the reg
ular Republicans, is opposed by SEN
ator O. H. Olson, Nonpartisan
Lacquer.
The test of strength as between the
Presidential candidates, if it may be
so called, lies in the selection of the
group of delegates to the Republican
supported by the Nonpartisan League,
has pledged itself to vote for Senator
johnson. The other ticket Of delegate
candidates, indorsed in the Republican
state primary election, may take the po-
sition that one of its candidates, Henry
Mclean, already has taken. Mr.. Nc
Lean has filed with the Secretary Of
State statement to the effect that he
will not, if elected, consider himself
bound by the Presidential preference
vote. He places himself in that posi-
tion because the convention which nom
mated him, asked that the Presidential
candidates remain out of the state, and
thus permit the selection of an un-
pledged delegation.
The Republican State Convention also
made that request of Presidential can
didates. 1t was rejected by Senator
johnson, because of its expressed desire
to avoid conflicting national and state
issues, to the detriment of the party in

WOODS HOLE, Mass, March 15.---
Survivors of a crew Of six, four of
whom were washed away as they fought
with stormy seas, Captain William
Reicker and Seaman Joseph C. Watkins,
of the schoonerd Isaiah X. Stetson, were
brought here to-day by the coast guard
cutter Acushnet. The men had been
fourteen hours lashed to the rigging Of
their ship, which sank yesterday on the
west side Of Handkerchief Shoals. Cap
York, told the story to-day.
"It came on to blow from south to
west," he said. ~ put out three
anchors, but we dragged them five
miles and went on to the Handkerchief.
1t was 2 o'clock in the morning.

hole with five fathoms Of water The
seas were high and we began to fill.
"The deck rails were barely out of
the water, and / ordered the men to
take to the masts. Two of the men
had reached the top of the forward
deckhouse, when they were washed over
by big one. Another man had climbed
aloft, and l thought he was safe, but he
tried to cross on a spring stay from
one mast to another and he went over
when the water caught him. Watkins
fixed himself in the fore rigging, and
had the cook with me in the main rig
ging, almost secure He tried to climb
a bit higher, but couldn't get up and l
lost him.
Of the succeeding fourteen hours,
during which the schooner sank be-
meath them in five fathoms of water,
her masts pitching under the impulses
OF wind and wave, the men clinging
frozen into security, Captain Reicker
said he could say little. He and Wat
kins clung to the crosstrees, with the
masthead for a brace. They tried to
fashion windshield out of the sail,
but found it frozen.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 15.-
Anti-suffragists will contest the action
Of the West Virginia Legislature in
the ratification Of the Federal suffrage
amendment, on the ground that it off,
cially acted upon the question once
previous to ratification. former Con-
gressmai Joseph H. Gaines, one of the
counsel representing the antis, said to-
day.
The question will be taken before
the Federal Court Of the Southern Dis
trict OF West Virginia in the form of
a petition for writ of mandamus
compelling Governor John ]. Caldwell
and the two presiding officers of the
legislative branches to issue certifica-
tion of the rejection Of the amendment
instead of its ratification.
1t will be fought to the highest
COURTS Mr.. Gaines indicated, Should
the lower court rule adversely.
The fight will be based upon the fact
that the resolution for ratification
which was first introduced into the
Senate failed to pass through a tie
vote. 1t was again brought before the
Senate in the form Of House concur
rent resolution, and passed by the off,
cial vote of 16 to 13.
The opponents say that this was not
proper, inasmuch as Rule 52 of the
Senate forbids a question when once
decided to be brought before the same
session of the Legislature.
