GENERAL WOOD
 BEST KNOWN AMERICAN

Chicago, June-Described as the of the people, Major General Leon ard Wood was formally nominated today by Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, for the Republican presiden- tia1 nomination.
 "A plain, blunt man, with a blunt belief in facts,'' Governor Allen said of General Wood, "he is today the best known American.
 "No man in America has been given so many constructive things to do in this generation and no one de- nies that whatever he has under taken he has done super1ative1y we'll.
 "An unexpected period of confu- sion has come upon us in the after. math of the great war. Old ways are lost and leadership, hesitant and indecisive, drifts upon an unchart- ed sea.
 Under the weak hands of a timor ous government the social disorders and class-minded isns caught from the world struggle have grown to alarming proportions.
 f'The unchecked encroachment o1 sinister greed, the appalling waste o1 public money, the immoral panderins to class intereSt and class prejudice have brought us to point where the nation demands and the world expects from this great council leader chosen out of the great need and no

0UASH INDICTMENTS
 AGAINST WOOLEN COS

New York, June 11-Indictments charging prof1teering against the American Woolen Companies of New York and Massachusetts and William M. Wood, president of the corpora tfonS, were QuaShed today by Federal Judge Mack.
 Judge Mack sustained a demurrer interposed by Charles E. Hughes, special counsel for the defense, which held that woolen goods did not constitute wearing apparel and there fore did not come within the meaning g of the Lever act.
 Judge Mack said wearing apparel gress by its amendment of Oct. 22, 1919, to the original Lever act clearly had in mind the trade signification of what cloth meant. The court added that although it held that congress has power to regulate distribution of woolen cloth it felt that since con gress did not broaden the trade mean ing of the term wearing apparel to include a bolt of cloth, the court was unable to find any meaning in the act other than the general trade use of the term.
 American Woolen shares became active in the stock market on an r1ouncement that indictments against the company and it's officials had been uuashed. The stock showed an extreme gain of four points at noon.

Judge Frederic A. Bartlett, of the City Court. The judge refused to issue an order for the warrant.
 Chief Myers threatened to make an open demand for the arrest of the prosecutor in the City Court this morning, and declared that unless a warrant was issued he would carr5 the case to the states attorney.

At 35 minutes the first flushing was attempted by the delegates and gal 1eries themselves The demonstration quieted down somewhat but there were also many renewed cheers.
 The delegates cheered when Sena- tor Lodge at the end of 40 minutes said the delegates were all in their seats and that the galleries would be cleared unless they quieted down.
 The announcement got the desired result at once. Senator Lodge pre- sented Frank Knox of New Hamp- shire to second Woods nomination.
 While the Wood demonstration was running plans for the Lowden coun- terpart were in progress. At the heads of aisles were men with flags and Lowden Autographs ready to be unfurled as soon as the Illinois gover- nor's name was offered.
 MT. Knox, a former private of the Rough Riders told the convention that New Hampshire, the generals native state, regarded him .not as a son of the state but a son of the whole nation"
 MT. Knox got a lot of cheers but not so much as did Mrs Robinson, still in mourning for her brother, Col onel Roosevelt, when she took the platform to second General Woods nomination: The first woman ever to perform that function in a national convention, she got a rising ova ton when she was intr oduced by Senator Lodge.
 To stop the demonstration Mrs. Rob- inson waved her hand.
 Mrs. Robinson declared she wanted l Leonard Wood for president mot be cause he was my brothers friend
 but because he is his type of man." fn @b, the mothers of New York state" said she, "who know it was because of the foresight and courage of Leonard Wood that their sons went overseas fit fighting machines and not as can non fodder" Mrs. Robinson spoke with feelins and a direct +forcefuI delivery wficI

 'In seeking for the initiative and the prophetic wisdom to guide us in an hour that must be wholly con structive, we are fortunate in a can. didate whose record reveals the quail ties needed for the task.
 '1t is not necessary to ask for as strances from General Wood. There is the witness of his service
 You ask for business man. We as governor of Cuba. a record which gained him international fame the most successful civil administra tor the country has known. Leonard Woods service in Cuba constitute 9 page of history which records the clean est and most unselfish thing one nation ever did flor a needy people. Chosen to work out the benevolent policy of Mckinley toward the people of the island for whom we had sacri- feed our sons, he was given a free hand
 "A president must be a business man and more. He must be a states man. He must have a broad view o1 the internal situatio He must know politics, for politics is what gives us our government, be it good or bad Government is no better than it: politics, and to improve the one you must improve the other.

G. w. Perkins In Stam-
 ford Sanitarium.

George w. Perkins, a noted
 figure in the world of finance
 is now an inmate in a Stamford
 sanitarium. Charles D. Lock
 wood who is counsel for the
 institution, recently inquired of
 the Stamford Probate Court as
 to the necessary procedure in
 case it becomes necessary to
 ask for a legal commitment.
 These facts were admitted by
 George w. Perkins, IT,, ac- cording to a statement in the New York World.
 MT. Perkins said:
 Father is there solely for treat ment for a nervous collapse. If his condition should get. worse, it might be necessary to have temporary com mitm ent, either self-commitment or by order of the court, but I do not see any reason for it at present. '' ''It has been reported that your father is in a violent condition" the
 son was told.
 There is not a word of truth in | that,' he replied. He merely has a nervous colla pse.''
 Asked why the location of the sani- tarium had been kept secret, the
 fnancier's son replied:
 We wanted to protect him from disturbance. You have no idea of the
 number of people gwhow ant to See him personally about political and E from the Republican National con vention in Chicago. where any num- Der of men demanded where father was, because they must consult him 1 in person. | (Continued on Page Six)
