Democrats DESERVING to Lib.
erals Also, Say Chiefs.

Chicago. June 22-Progressives in
the Republican rank and file are de-
serting and throwing their support to
the proposed third party. according to
claims here today by the Committee
of Forty Eight.
The ''bolters,' according to the COM
mittee's statement are followers of
Senator Hiram johnson and Senator
LaFollette, ex-Bull Moosers.
Since the Republican convention,
both the Chicago AM New York Off
GERS of the Committee of Forty
Eight have been in receipt of many
letters from followers of johnson, La
Toilette and Roo-evelt. expressing dis
gust with the Republicans and a de-
sire to joiR-a new party" said the
statement. The spontaneous express
sion of voluntary opinion of this kind
from Republican ranks leads the
Committee of Forty-eight to believe
that its convention will be even a
greater success than was anticipated

The cars are allotted as follows:

Santa Fe, 1900; Burlington. 2.25O;
Rock Island, 1850. The roads which
did not receive any allotment were
cut off for the reason that they al
ready have on their own tracks more
cars than the number they actually
own. The total number allotted
was 4,401.
Charles Watson, manager, of the
Clearing House association, said yes
terday that no time had been set at

they are expected to arrive soon. 1t

1T is thought" Mr.. Robbins stated
in his letter, that the cars allotted
will be sufficient to enable the lines
concerned to clear up a large portion
of the old grain remaining to be
shipped. The entire transportation
problem is being carefully studied.
Most of the roads thru Kansas City
already have~more cars than they ac-
tually own and the car shortage seems
to exist generally thruout the country.
Steps have been taken to relieve the
situation.

Expect Democrats Too.
Liberal leaders, according to Pro-
fessor S. 1. Rypins, an official of the
Committee>of F'oTty-eight, also expects
many Democrats to swing to their
support. following the Democratic
convention.
THE Committee of Forty-eight feels
that If the : Democratic convention
carried out what seems to be its in
tention of naming conservative capdi-
dates. there will be an influx of the
liberal members of the Democratic
party just as large as from the Re-
publicans-"
Claims of the proposed third party
that they expect many Democrats to
join them was strengthened by the
fact that such 4rogressives of 1912 as
Jane Adams. Harold Ickes and John
Bass have withheld statements ex-
planning how they stand on the can
didacies- of the standard bearers OF
the two major parties. They are au-
thoritatively said to be waiting to see
what the Democratic convention does
Their position was said to be typical
of that of many other Bull Moosers.

TWO SUPPORTING
STONES GIVE WAY
Inspection of Hooker Building Made
This Forenoon-Wood Posts Put
In as Supports-No Danger.

Within short time two of the sup
porting red stones over the pillars III
the front of Hooker block have broken
and they have been braced with timbers
running up from the stone steps to pre-
vent them from falling to the ground.
The first one to break was over the
main entrance and the second was over
the upper entrance to the Dunham Broth
ers Co.'S retail store.
Contractor John c. Pellett went over
the building this forenoon with George
L. Dunham, but they could not find any
indication that the building was settling,
and it is supposed that the breaks are
due to the short life of the stones 1t
will be necessary to jack up the front
of the building enough so that the stone
can be removed and steel girders put in
to replace them.
1t probably is true that there is a
gradual but exceedingly slow tendency
for the buildings on the east side of
Main street to move toward the river, on
account of the high embankment, but
there is no DANCED from this source and
it is not probable that this had anything
to do with the breaking of the stones.

OF RIGHT HAND
John H. Olson, Cabinet Maker, Was

saw and was kicked back, and Mr..
Olson's hand went forward against the
saw, taking off the four fingers between

NORTHWEST APPLE
CROP MAKES GAIN
United States Aids Growers in Improv-
ing Storage Facilities-Much
Fruit Lost.

WASHINGTON, March 12-Apple
production has increased enormously
in the Northwest since 1900. Last
year Washington. Oregon and Idaho,
with the help of Montana and Colo
rado, produced one quarter of the to-
tai crop of the country. With new
acreage coming into bearing, the de
partment of agriculture says, it is
likely that the Northwest in a few
years win be producing a much greater
part of the country's total crop.
If big losses are to be avoided in
the marketing of the apple crop of
the Northwest, government experts say,
growers will be forced to give greater
attention to equipping their properties
with up-to-date storage houses. Because
of increased production and an acute
shortage of refrigerator cars last season
growers in the Northwest were unable
to move their apples to market and
| thousands of boxes of fruit were caught
unprotected in the orchards by an early
freeze, while other fruit remained on the
trees and was frozen because there was
no place to store it.
A government specialist is now max
ing his headquarters at Yakima, Wash.
to assist growers who expect to built
storage houses during the spring an,
summer. He is supplied with working
drawings of storage houses tested during
the last five years

In answer the navy department sub.
mitted another plan, he said, and asked
that he present it to the British admir-
atty. He did so and was told that

the allies early in the war without sue

the convoy plan so the first convoy
might sail from New York July s.
About the same time Admiral Jelli-
coe wrote him expressing grave appre-
hension for the success of the convoy
system unless the United States decid
ed to participate, the admiral stated.
Finally on July % the navy depart
ment accepted the convoy plan for
troop ships and later accepted it for
supply vessels, the admiral testified,
but only after great pressure had been
brought to bear by the other alhes ana
after many valuable weeks had been
wasted Even as late as Aug. 10, he
said, he received messages from the
department asking that the convoy
system be explained although for four
months | had been exhausting my vo-
eabulary in attempting to explain the
system.

clear to you now the desperation in
which l found myself almost constant

war" Admiral Sims said. 81 repeat

concentrations were right The fact
remains that they were virtually
