He introduced a resolution calling
on the Interstate Commerce Commis-

Great Britain is purchasing coal
In the United States which IL gives
Cuba for sugar" Walsh declared.
This increases the price OF both com
modities In this country. The British
should not be condemned for this. IL
n but good business on their part.
In the meantime Great Britain has
placed restrictions on the export OF
coal from that country.
Great Britain has enough coal 10

trade going" Walsh continued. The
exports OF coal from the United states

CHICAGO. May 29.-Gov. Henry j.
Allen of Kansas. who himself Is ex-
pected to be candidate, will make

general Is a New Englander, born ana

the State of Kansas by special act
OF the legislature. He commanded the
Eighty-ninth division of the national
army (Kansas troops) until receipt OF
overseas orders. He was removed
from command on the eve of sailing.
Wood Forces Gather.
There has been a general marshall
ing OF the Wood forces in Chicago
for the last twenty-four hours.
Whether by accident or in response
to definite orders, most of the leaders
in the Wood movement have begun to
drift in, and II Is expected that there
will be a conference here tomorrow
or Monday.
There is distinct feeling and many
rumors along Presidential row" that
something is going to happen In the
Wood camp. The patched up peace
between Frank Hitchcock. the "po-
litical adviser" and Col. William
Cooper Proctor, the generalissimo OF
the campaign. which was effected at
New York some weeks ago, Is report
ed to have about played itself out.
Hitchcock Arrives.
Hitchcock arrived in Chicago yes
, terday. He did not, however. visit
Wood general headquarters. although
quartered in the same hotel. He even
asked reporters where the head
quarters were located. Hitchcock
would not comment directly on the
reported break, saying with his usual
suavity that he "never talked for pub
lcation." The story was denied, how
ever. at the Wood camp.
Matters may come to head the
first of the week. Colonel Proctor Is
expected back from Washington to-
. day or tomorrow. One of the things
which is reported to have strained
the relations between Hitchcock and
Proctor, was Hitchcock's testimony
before the Senate committee In Wash
ington in which he took a round about
slap at the Wood handlers. by, say
ing he did not believe in. large cam
paign expenditures.
Moses Due Today.
Senator George H. Moses, manager
of the southern division of the Wood
movement, is expected at Wood head
quarters here any day. The other
lieutenants are arriving. and the gen.
eral assembly of Wood handlers Is
the chief morsel of gossip along the
. row.
The Hoover movement in Chicago
which has been sliding quietly along
In spacious quarters on Presidential
row, is to be enlivened considerably
IT was announced today, with>the ar
rival of a New York contingent OF
Hoover supporters. These will be
headed by George Barr Baker, one OF
Hoover's lieutenants in the relief
work.
