Will Dig Up Caruso's
 Estate to Locate Jewels

East Hampton, N. r., June 13.-A pick and shovel brigade of private detectives tomorrow will begin systematic search of the 100-acre estate of Enrico Caruso here in a final effort to discover the hid- ing place of $500, 900 worth of jewels that were stolen from the tenors home sev- eral days ago. The detectives plan to dig up every square yard of earth on the grounds, they announced being confident that the missing jewels are secreted within the estate.
 The guards were doubled tonight as a result of threats made against members of the family, and also to frustrate, it was said, any attempt that might be made to remove the Jewels from their hiding place and carry them off None of the employees is being permitted to leave the grounds.
 District Attorney Young said tonight preparations have been completed for the inquiry he will conduct in the Caruso home next Tuesday,

but Harding the convention would have got away from us, and would have nominated Wood or Lowden, and we would have had a second grade candidate plus the burdens of the campaign money scandal"
 ANOTHER DIFFICULTY
 The party managers faced another difficulty beside the lack of com mandng figures among the candidates. There were fifty-seven varieties of people who were democratic. They had nothing in common except their disgust with the democratic admin lstration The miracle of fusing all these divergent elements into single party with one mind and one pur- pose was beyond human capacity. The party managers had to pick out for the party the position which in their judgment was likely to gain the wid est support. In making these choices their personal prejudices and predelica tions undoubtedly influenced their decision. But they could not possibly hold to the party all the possible re- publican votes. They could only hold the largest possible section of this anti ti-democratic element. and this they have attempted to do by putting the republican party into its natural place as the conservative party of the coun try. The convention did its best in the sense that it took definite posi- tion, and the normal republican posi- tion and in the sense that of the in ferior material at it's command it chose the hest.

erals are realized, will initiate the Bryan of 1904. The general impression is that he will not lift his hands to elect Haro- ing's ticket. He did nothing for Hughes in California in 1916 with the result that Hughes was defeated. If he is inactive in California at this time. California per vaded as it is with the Hearst influence, may turn out to be also a doubtful state.
 But Johnson this year is something more than the leader of state. lie IS
 the national leader of one wing or ms party, as Bryan was of his party in 1904 Johnson may be regular. His open at titude may be impeccable And yet, It may. do much damage to republican pros poets. The democrats are likely to meet
 this issue raised by the republican con
 vention/w the utmost sfrankness anu
 courage Whatever the party's platform declares for MT. McAdoo. if he is noml- mated, will make his own platform, and
 it will be hold one. MT. McAdoo is q
 political gambler who plays {" for big
 stakes. It is creditable ownership of rail-
 ways NJ. McAdoo, as railway admin istrator.i became a convenienced advocn'e
 of government ownership just as Mir
 Hines, his successor, practical railway
 man. did also.
 If MT. McAdoo follows this policy. il will be bold meeting of the challenge thrown down by the republican conven
 tion He will lift the whole fight out or the area of Wilson and anti-Wison and place it upon new plane. He VIII go boldly after the clements who. will have difficulty stayiiig in the republican party. He will abandon the conservatives, ex- cept his own southern conservatives, to the republican party and seek to capture the industrial vote of the big eastern states. In that case, the issue will turn upon what strength there really is in the forces of northern and western con servatisin to whom now the repupilcen party makes it so appear.

1T WAS THE BEST WE COULDDO,' 'SAYS THE REPUBLICAN CROWD
Expect Things "Too Look Better As the Campaign Goes On" Was Uni
 versal Mood
By c. w. GILBERT

NCopyrlEht, io<Vs by PuDHc BcdRcr)
 Chicago, June 13.-The delegations at the republican national convention. as they shook hands with each other, bidding goodby in the Hobbies of the Congress hotel, said:
 Well, it was the best that we could do." And then, after moment hesi- tation, they frightened up and said It will look better as the campaign goes on." The note was a little apologetic The mood was universal You found no one, outside of the Ohionians, who expressed entire sat isfaetion.
 One senator who participated impor- tantly in the conference in coloniol George Harvey's Blackstone rooms showed a true perception of what had been done and of the necessity for do- ing it. He said: This ain't Che uses that colloquiaIism, 'ain't 1900 times), and this ain't any 1904 We haven't any Grants or Shermans or Roose- velts this time.

AS TO WHAT HAS BEEN DONE

There is no mistaking the signifi- canoe of what has been done. The re- publican convention of 1920 has done what the democratic convention of 1904 did. It has elected to be defi- nitely conservative. It has put up q conservative candidate for President and a conservative candidate for vice president upon a distinctly conserva- tive platform. Usually party expedi ency dictates the offering of a hibrid ticket upon a platform that quints in both directions. You have conserva- tive for President, perhaps, with q radical for vice president upon plat form where both can stand.
 Perhaps one should not give this convention too much credit for cour- age in avoiding the usual compromise The delegates would have liked to name Johnson for vice president as a slight bait to the radical voters. But Johnson would have none of 1t. At any rate, the republican party is re- beating the Parker experiment of 1904, curiously enough guided by a publicist, Col. G. Harvey, who was the voice of the Ryan Whitney group which turned the democratic party back from Organism into the ways of conservatism when Parker was nomi- mated.
 Two views prevail here of the prob able consequences. I shall quote two men as expressing them, Representa- tive Slemp of Virginia and William Allen White of Kansas. MT. Slemp is a figure in the old guard. Mir. White is political sentimentalist of highly independent inc1inations.
 Mir. Slemp says: The thing is go- ing to look better every day till cleo tion.' And he means it, and has req sons for meaning it.
 MT. White says: Tt will be diff cult to carry Kansas with the Hard ing Coolidge ticket" And MT. White, being in politics only for fun, always means what he says when he makes political predictions, and he, too had reasons, in this case, for meaning it.
 CONSERVATIVE VIEW
 Let us take first the conservative view of the situation and see what may be said for it; see what was in MT. Slemp's mind As result of what the convention has done, the party is in definiate position and may as- sume the aggressive. There is no danger, at least there is no necessity, of falling into the error of 1916 and Pussy footing all the way from nomi- nation to election The party mana gers have not endeavored to cover in under one banner impossible political clements The party front is com pact.v The mistake of being a mere opposition party has been avoided. and a definite political philosophy has been enunciated. For conservatissn you can make a fight.
 Ogden L. Mills, chairman of the ad- visory committee on resolutions, con- tends that the country is conservative as well as strongly ti-democratic.

Budget Committee.
0pelousas, La, Oct. 4, 1920.
To the Honorable President and
Members of the Police Jury Of
ST. Landry Parish, La.
Gentlemen:-The undersigned the
minority, OF your Budget Committee,
begs leave to report that he is forced
to dissent from the majority of the
Budget Committee in regard to an ap-
preparation of 100000 for a trained
nurse for the public schools of St.
Landry parish for the following rea-
sons:
LIST. That due to poor crops, low
prices on farm products, high prices
on general commodities and high tax
es 1t is his belief that 1t will be a
hardship and an almost impossibility
for the poor parents of school
children to defray the medical ex-
penses which will be brought about
upon the examinations of pupils affect
ed chronic ailments.
End That the public roads and
bridges not covered by special taxes
are in urgent need of repairs and re-
building and the amounts budgeted for
same are inadequate and insufficient.
3rd. That the revenues of the par
ish for the year 1921 will be barely
sufficient for the expenditures from
the present outlook.
4th. That while he does and has
always favored the enactment of any
and all laws, which in his opinion,
were for the good and best interest
of his constituents and all the citizens
OF the parish Of st. Landry, he most
respectfully begs leave to cite and
point out a few instances where ap-
preparations have been made by police
juries, school boards. and Federal
Authorities which, after the expendi-
lures we're made, resulted In little
good and several instances projetcs
were abandoned with nothing left to
show for an outlay Of cash and
