LLOYDS ON UNEASY STREET
WITH PROSPECT OF LOSING
BIG CHUNK OF INSURANCE

London, June 22.-Lloyd's expert
enced quite an exciting day." on
Monday as a result OF statement
issued in Washington on Sunday by
United States Senator Wesley L.
Jones, to the effect that the American
merchant marine act may move the
center of American marine insurance
from London to New York, says a
late edition Of the Mail
"A majority Of the underwriters,
the newspaper said, decided yesterday
that American business was to be
done until matters were to be cleared
up. The American market is incapa.
BILE of covering all its direct risks, and
shippers are not likely to permit their
goods to sail uninsured"
The newspaper adds that while
Lloyds expected some drastic clauses
in the United States merchant marine
act, favoring American insurance,
"anything in the nature Of what Is
proposed was never expected"

At ARMS Of BIG CHI

!. S. Mullen returned from Chicago

engaged in going over the accumulated
correspondence, stated that he would
dictate his impressions Of the big
show as soon as he could catch up
with his work, and would give his
impression of the convention as he
saw it.
In speaking Of Jake Hamon, Mr..

force and power is recognized by the
big men of the party and his advice

ATTACK ING ARDMORE| |TE
AND FERRIS GOOD LOOKS
GORE DODGED ALL ISSUES
SON -BERWYNTALKS

Senator Thomas Pryor Gore spoke
to small crowd Of people at Wilson
last night, but according to reports
from there this morning his reception
was not Of the most cordial nature,
the crowd it is alleged was compos'
ed mostly Of socialists and republi-
cans,
The report states that the blind
Senator seemed to forget all about
the live issues of the campaign, ana
devoted most Of his time to ridiculin6
the personal appearance of Hon. Scott
Ferris, his opponent, appealing to the
prejudice OF his hearers rather than
to their common sense and judg-
ment.
He also took fling at the press
of the state in general and The Ard
morite and Oklahoman in particular
for the attitude maintained by both
journals in opposing his candidacy.
However he was as silent as the
tomb when It came to explaining his
own attitude toward the president,
in opposing every war measure ad'
vanced for the speedy termination of
the great war, choosing rather to tell
an alleged funny story instead.
The blind senator's reception in
Carter county was anything but fiat
tering to his vanity. in fact many
OF his former friends and supporters
were outspoken in their hostility to-
wards him and refused to meet him
while In the city and county.
After the speaking last night he
was brought back to Ardmore by
"Rube" Geers Of the Tishomingo Cap
ital Democrat who seems to be acting
as official pilot to the senator while
in this section.
Berwyn where the Senator was billed
to speak despite the fact that he
and his advisers received lengthy
telegram advising the senator that his
presence was not desired there.
A great many Carter county boys
who saw overseas duty live in and
around Berwyn, and to those who
went through the hell Of st. Mihiele
and the Meuse-Argonne such tala
from one who was opposing every
measure for their relief while they
were offering themselves upon tbs
altar of their country, does not make
much of a hit. However, nothing
daunted the senator and he appeares
as an uninvited guest and spoke tc
very meager audience there.

Provisions of the new act have
greatly widened the scope of the de-

guarded revolutionary doctrines.
Advocacy of sabotage or opposition
to established government, by aliens
OF their organizations, Is sufficient to
bring them within the new law, ac-

thorities.

strued by the department to mean
Opposition to the administration Of
the government, and aliens who pub.
