Cast Tanan1any
Out,' Is Slogan
Of Bryan Men
Followers of the Colonel
Will Hold a Conference
in Kansas City May l
to Reorganize Democracy
Old Bosses All to Go
Wet Element That Nominat-
ed Cox at San Francisco Is
Also Slated for Discard

The followers Of Colonel William J.
Bryan are organizing large confer
ence of progressive but regular Demo
Gratis to be held in Kansas City on
May 1, with the avowed object of re-
organizing the Democratic party and
leaving Tammany and similar elements
out.
The slogan at the conference will be
"Cast Tammany QUIT" and by "Tam-
many" is meant to include Charles F.
Murphy. jim Nugent, the New Jersey
boss; Tom Taggart, who just at
present is hobnobbing with Mr.. Muir
ply at French Lick, Ind; Brennan, the
Chicago boss; Judge Moore, who or
ganized the campaign for the nomina-
tion of Governor Cox in Ohio and later
at San Francisco, and in fact all the
more prominent and. to Bryan, objec-
tionable leaders of the machine type.
In brief, the vets who dominated the
San Francisco convention will have
notice served on them by the Kansas
City conference that they will not be
allowed to 1eorganlze the party with
the wet element in control.
Advice to Rank and File
In confirmation of the purpose of the
Bryan men in the organization to take
the lead in dry reorganization, The
Commoner last week had an editorial
entitled "Organize!" the burden Of
which is advice to the rank and file
Of the Democratic party to support q
dry program and relegate the old
bosses to the rear.
Tho reorganization plan seems to be
under the direction of Charles Bryan,
brother of Colonel Bryan.
Charles Bryan always manages the
mechanics OF the Bryan movements
Colonel Bryan outlines the policy, and
to brother Charles falls the task of
mobilizing the phalanxes behind the
Colonels ideas. In this movement the
Bryans will make strenuous efforts to
rally the women leaders Of the Demo.
cratic party at the Kansas City con-
ference.
Colonel Bryan used the same sort of
strategy against Senator Hitchcock last
summer, when he beat him in the Ne
braska primaries and elected himself
a delegate t-large to the San Fran
cisco convention.
Refused Aid to Cox
Colonel Bryan appealed to the women
of Nebraska in behalf of prohibition
and morals, and with his victory over
Hitchcock, the Republicans of the Mid
die West knew that Bryan would con-
tinue his opposition clear through the
San Francisco convention, which he did
Bryan, following the wet triumph at
San Francisco in the nomination Of
Cox, refused to lend hand in the Cox
campaign.
1t is understood that Colonel BRYAN
is not going to take an active part in
the Kansas City conference. He has
promised President-elect Harding to
assist in BRINGING about world neaca

Mccormick Proves Adept
AT Dodging lnterviewers
Returns After Stay of Nine
Weeks in Europe, Lands by
Cutter and Hastens AWAY

United States Senator Medill Nc
Ccrnlick would not be running any
newspapers if everybody were as adept
and determined at dodging an inter
view as he proved to be last night
when he landed from the Imperator
after nine weeks stay in Europe.
Senator Mccormick had some diff
Guilty in getting permission to come
ashore when the vessel anchored off
quarantine for the night. He said he
had urgent business in Washington and
was desirous of getting to the capital
as soon as possible, but it was only
after Special Deputy Collector Stuart
in Manhattan had been communicated
with that the Senator was taken ashore
by revenue cutter at Rosebank, Staten
Island
To several questions regarding his
opinion of the makeup Of the Harding
Cabinet and the proposed disarmament
plan the, Senator only appealed for
tobacco-his own having given out
and volunteered one statement, as fol-

March's Proposed
Promotion Blocks
Overseas Generals
Plea Is Made i'm Senate for
Liggett, Called Officer
Whose Responsibility Was
Next to Gen. Persning's
From The rr4oune's Washington Bureau

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. l7.-When Sen
ator Wadsworth attempted to-day to
creating three new lieutenants general
in the army he ran up against serious
opposition.
The bill is intended to authorize pro-
motion to the grade Of lieutenant gen.
eral of Major General Hunter Liggett,
who commanded the American 1st Army
in France; Major General Robert L.
Bullard, who commanded the American
I'd Army in France, and Major General
Peyton c. March. chief Of staff
General March and, while it was not
uttered to-day, there is no doubt it
was one of the underlying causes Of
the opposition to the bill. Moreover
Democratic Senators are aroused be-
cause the Republicans are not permit
ing confirmation Of promotions Of army
officers sent to the Senate. Senator
Lodge, Republican leader, made it clear
these promotions would have to be ex-
amined.
After explaining that General Liggett
WOulO reClre Marcn II, and that unless
Congress acted quickly he would re-
tire with same rank he held when he
went to France, Senator Wadsworth
added:
"The Military Affairs Committee is
especially concerned over General Lg-
gett. He is the only officer among sll
the generals who after hostilities have
ceased finds himself in the same grade
as when the war started"
He told of the services of General
Liggett in France and said he had
under his command in the Meuse-Ar-
gonne campaign a million men, and
the greatest responsibility next to Cen
eral Pershing himself of any American
officer.
II feel very strongly" said Senator
Lodge, chat this list of promotions
ought to be thoroughly examined.
do not desire to enter at this time
on a discussion of the way rewards
and punishments have been handled
under this Administration, which in
cludes the staff. l hope the bill will
not be pressed in that form. I think
that General Liggett's case is an ex-
ception: If it is proposed to make
three Ieutenants general now with no
opportunity for examination L shall
object"
Senator Wadsworth then offered an
amended bill applying to General Lig-
gett alone. He pointed out that Gen
cral Bullard had three years to serve
and General March four or five.

West Russia Takes
Food, Lets Siberia
Starve, Says Exile
100000 Poles Dying Fast
Under Rule of Far East
Republic, Refugee Who
Abandoned Mines Asserts

Private ownership OF property in
Russia to-day is q myth, and the only
persons satisfied with the Bolshevist
regime are the paid military constabu-
larry and the government officials, A.
Rogala, Polish subject and owner of
extensive mining properties in Siberia,
said yesterday at Hotel Astor.
Mr.. Rogala is en- route to his home
in Warsaw, having arrived in this
country several weeks ago via the Pa
cfc. Like. many others who held prop
erty in Siberia and were forced to regu-
late it according to Soviet prescrip-
ton, Mr.. Rogala said, he chose TO de-
part.
He told of the establishment about
three months ago of the Far East Re-
public in Siberia, a governmental off
spring of the -Trotzky regime,
and composed solely of Jews. The
cruelty with which the people are be-
ing governed, he declared, was almost
beyond belief.
Chaos is everywhere in the Far
East Republic and no ones life or
property is safe" said Mr.. Rogala,
who speaks English with little diff
Guilty. "Thosc who think and once had
property in Siberia are wondering how
Washington Vanderlip is going to work
his concessions out there
There are at present about 900 900
Polish subjects in Siberia, all the men
being prisoners in concentration camps,
and they are dying fast from starva-
tion and disease. All the food produced
IN Siberia is sent to western Russia"
n
Russia, Mr.. Rogala declared, marked
the birth of freedom for the Jews, who
are now engaged in wreaking ven
geance SO general In its character as
to make millions Of the own race also
suffer.

about the time that you want your

could get a somewhat higher yield on
equipment trust certificates, and these
come in series; for instance, the Hi

ment trust, the series maturing in each
year from 1871 to 1927, and you can
get between $40 and per cent. ae-
cording to the market price and the
date of maturity. However, the United

are your best investment. There is

Lower Meat Rates Urged
Packers Say They Have Alb
sOrbed Increase

Lower railroad rates for meat prod
ucts were urged upon Eastern railroads
W sterday by representatives of Amer
lean meat packers. The request was
presented by Charles E. Herrick, chair
men Of the traffic committee of the In
stitute OF American Meat Packers, be-
fore the traffic executive committee of
the railways of the Eastern territory
in their Offices at 143 Liberty Street.
The carriers promised the packers that
at meeting to be held to-day some
aItion will be taken.
The request of the packers pointed
out that during the first seven months
OF this year they sold for export the
same volume of meat as during 1920,
but with a gross return of about $780,
100000 less than in 1920, and that they
have at the same time been obliged to
absorb the increase in transportation
costs made effective in August, 1920
1t was also explained that the Amcri-
can packers are obliged to pay for
livestock in American dollars and sell
their product to foreign buyers who
must pay in their unstable moneys or
be extended credit, whereas Canadian
meat exporters are buying their live
stock and paying their transportation
charges in Canadian currency, giving
Canadian exporters an advantage of at
least 10 per cent

you kindly advise me AZ to which of three
buys look the best to you--Duquesne Light
l5-year ~. per cent convcrt.bles gold de

Answer--Of the three bonds you
name we think the Duquesne Light
Company convertible debenture 71As,
due 1886, are the best. They are q
direct obligation of the company, but
are not secured by a mortgage. The
company is a strong one, however, and
is earning an ample margin above its
interest requirements. The bonds are
convertible at par for par, July ], 1923,
to July l, 1884, in the Duquesne Light

bonds rather attractive character.
The other two bonds are good invest

Answer--Our advice to young men
n your position is brief and to the
point: Start small bank account first
and always keep few hundred dollars
in it. Then buy good bonds. 1t is now
possible to get many excellent bonds in
500 and $500 denominations. After
you have two or three thousand dollars
in bonds you might buy q little common
stock of one Of the best companies
such as American Locomotive, Southern
Pacific or Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing; and, of course, if you
have any dependents at any time you
should have life insurance policy
Until you have these requirements it is
folly to think of highly speculative
stocks. For our own part we would
never consider them. But after you
have comfortable bank account eight
or ten good bonds and few shares Of
stock, you can do what you want to do
