The regular republican organiza- ton, desperate because of the ap- parent determination of radical re- publicans to prevent organization without liberalization of the rules informally but consistently ap- preached democrats tonight with the suggestion that they retire from the chamber tomorrow In sufficient num- bers to leave the regular republicans with majority.
 Representative Finis Garrett, dem ocratic leader, because of the activity of regular republicans, issued a statement that it was now more than ever the duty of democrats to remain firmly by their guns,
 'It is a republican fight" he said land democrats will continue so to regard 1t. Either the regulars or radicals must weaken, the democrats will not
 More Democrats Arrive.
 The few democrats who have not arrived notified MT. Garrett that they would be present tomorrow. The great question is, "how long will the radicals persist" There is no indi- cation that regular republicans will be liberalized.
 The republican press of the east is terming the radicals "demagogues,'' "hypocrites" and traitors"
 The situation is of special interest to southern states. In 1S49, demo- crats and whigs tied up over the election of a speaker for three weeks. Finally 1t was agreed that if no can didate received the majority after the sixty third ballot, the one who received a plurality would be de- clared speaker.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Italy and Great Britain are getting friendlier and friendlier. in diplomatic circles, perhaps. But along Broadway, where things diplomatic seem of another sphere. and dramatic circles are the merry whirl, are has become one war after another between Great Britain and Italy.
 Warfare was renewed Sunday when Lady Diana Manners. English beauty and intimate of the British royal family arrived on the Aquitania, pre- pared to play the Madonna role In "The Miracle,' only to learn that Princess Matchabelli of Italy also was expecting to play that part.
 Of course. neither her ladyshipe nor her royal highness is to blame. It was simply a case of masculine stu pidity. Morris Gest, the aesthetic American impresario. when he was in Europe to arrange with Max Rein hardt to stage the piece in America happened to pass through London.
 I'll save cable tolls," thought Morris. and forthwith hired the British beauty to pose the speeches. part of the Madonna
 The German producer, however, ig- norant of Gest's move, decided that

 This is not the first collision be- tween things Italian and things British in the American theatre While Premiers Mussolini and Bald win have been wasting their time ar ranging treaties and alliances, they have been neglecting the preservation of amity behind the footlights, where disagreements are in plain sight, for everyone to gossip about.
 Broadway was about as scandalized recently as Broadway ever gets when the artistic invasions of Eleanor Duse, the peerless etruscan tragedienna, and Sir John Harvey Martin, the eminent British actor. coincided so awk- wardly.

BOMB EXPLODEDBy
 DRIES IN DAKOTA
Charge Vets Hiding Behind Ford-For- President
 Movement

PIERRE, s. D., Dec. 3.-(By As sociated Press. )-South Dakota's po- litical battle lines for the state pro- posal meetings tomorrow were shat tered tonight by an eleventh hour bomhshell from the Anti-Saloon league branding the Ford for -Presi- dent movement as a "smoke screen, masking a concerted effort of al least four national anti-prohibition organizations to capture delegates to the democratic national convention.
 A statement by the Anti-Saloon leagues state superintendent. H. E Dawes, of Mitchell, circulated among the proposal men of all parties to- night, characterized the Ford boom as blind" through which the great wet organizations are busy trying to get wet delegations to the democratic national convention.
 "The movement has neither Ford consent nor Ford support MT Dawes declared, "and is sponsored ir various states which have primary laws by men who are notorious for their wet advocacy"
 Denial of the charges was made by James r. Houlahan of Watertown president of the South Dakota Ford for-President club. but the political effect of the statement nevertheless was everywhere discussed in the pre- convention gatherings.
 Fusion Efforts Heard.
 Harmony conferences between Mo Adoo and Ford supporters in the democratic party and fusion efforts between the democratic and farmer labor parties were virtually disrupt ed. while in the republican ranks the wet issue was thrust to the fore in a way which may result in a new align ment of forces before the convention gatherings tomorrow morning to SC. lect presidential and state office candidates for the March primaries.
 Simultaneously with the Dawes statement, the farmerlabor tentative platform was made public by E. L Gordon of Huron. secretary of the South Dakota Federation of Labor This platform, framed by specia committee, of which James F. Houla han. the Ford club president, is z member, calls for government dis. tribution of alcoholic products" The plank, the first in the suggested platform, reads:
 That prohibition may be perfected and the cost of detection and prose. cution greatly reduced, we propose C moral standard of conduct for Amer. ican citizenship in the use of stimu- lants and government distribution o1 all alcoholic products for lawful use at first cost, plus the cost of distri. bution."
 With his circular MT. Dawes also made public originals of letters which he said had been received within the last week by elected proposal mer from the National Liberty league urging support of movement fol the repeal or modification of the Volstead act" and petition being circulated by the American League for Moral Liberty, appealing for the signatures of all who oppose "tht anti-American, ra-prohibition idea of attempting to force morality"

going to feel like these expenses are being met, and met efficiently, economically" he declared.
 MT. Ramsey said that the chest fund was convincing people that money Is a different sort of thing than what formerly was thought; sense of stewardship was helping them to appreciate the real value of it.
 He dwelt on the financial saving by the chest fund plan, a saving Of from to 10 per cent in raising money collectively, a saving through elimination or overlapping of diff ferent charitable organizations, and a saving in service. Uniform ac- counting and budgeting by the direc- tors of the campaign. he declared, effected a tremendous reduction in the cost of operation.
 Speaking again of the spiritual value of the plan. which he con sidered by far the more important, Mir. Ramsey asserted that the an initiation of sectarian lines for the enterprise was 8 tremendous benefit the barriers between the poor and the rich he declared was of equal significance.
 Workers Present.
 The banquet, which will inaugu- rate Tuesday morning the eity's greatest philanthropic enterprise, was attended by every worker m the campaign for s450,000. which Bir- mingham will spend during 1924 OH 31 organizations in such amounts as the board of directors of the chest fund will designate.
 President Crawford Johnson of the new philanthropic organization pre- sided at the speakers table. Grouped about him were Phares Coleman, D. E. Feudou, Dr. J. A. Bryan, Car son Adams, director of the campaign, F. ". Ramsey Morris W. Bush, Mrs. Mary Echols, W. V. M. Robertson, Jr., and Percy w. Brewer.

Cor don Erickson led the workers in the singing of America" Mrs. May Shackleford, soprano soloist, sang two numbers, assisted at the piano by Mrs. Frances Hunt. The Alabama School for the Blind, colored, sent chorus which sang several south ern negro songs.

INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY MISSISSIPPI FINES
Settlement Made Three Years From
 Date Suit Was Filed

JACKSON, MISS, Dec. 3,-Three years from the day the noted Aetna insurance suit was filed in the court or Hines county, the fine was paid ana the state revenue agent was Waltlng for insurance on the last oheek oefore making a final remit tance to the state treasurer.
 The Aetna suit was filed on De- cember ?, 1920. On December &. of 1923 lawyers entered in the case and took an appeal from the courts of Hines county through the supreme court of Mississippi to the United states supreme court. Three checks were turned over to the state revenue agent representing the last payment of fines and interest
 Fines and interest In the case totaled s7S4,773.04 and were collected from 54 companies. Of this amount s52S,029 has been turned over to the state treasurer and $109,S00 will be remitted as soon as returned on the checks received by the Jackson State National bank.
 The revenue agents share of the fine Is 20 per cent, totaling s156,944 Of this amount 50 per cent is to go to the attorneys that represented him. Expenses incurred by the revenue agent in the preparation of the suit are to be paid out of the remainder of the money.
 Final payment to the state treas urer is expected to be made this week. The collection of the half million dollars at this time saved the treasury from asking of bonds and improvement commission for an issue of short time notes to meet current expenses.

Americans, with the innate gaIlan- try for which they are known in the native press, left Sir John swallow ing hard before houses which echoed with emptiness, while Duse was showered with the "bravos" of the he-men.
 As the Aquatania sidled to her pier Sunday a diplomatic impasse seemed to hover in the peaceful Sabbath fog on the Hudson. Cable reports from Paris had just brought word of an indignant ultimatum issued by the princess in Paris, warning all drama lovers that she had contract to play the Madonna part.
 Lady Diana Quotes Scripture.
 This rock shall fly from it's firm base quicker than I'll let Lady Diana take my job" declared the princess, in effect She has never played a Shakesperian role. She is, however. the wife of the Georgian minister to Rome.
 Dire things, she predicted, would happen if anyone else tried to be the
 
 role in 1912, and she is superstitious about such things.
 So when Lady Diana, who had heard about the tangle via wireless while still at sea, tripped down the gangplank and greeted him with How about it?" Gest was full of diplomacy.
 Aren't you awfully tired, your ladyship?% he suggested. "Perhaps you'd better go to your hotel and rest"
 Gest stated that the mix-up would have to be straighte11ed out by cable. He hopes it will be before the Ma jestic arrives in a week.
 But there is nothing selfish about Lady Diana, who, besides being a lady of extreme charm. and beauty-she is the daughter of the Duke of Rut- land-has all the esuavity of the Prince of Wales andher other British chums.
 Perhaps they'll arrange to have the princess and I take turns play ing the part, every other day or so." she said. That would be fair to both of us, and give us a chance to play around and see your delightful coun- try, don't you think?"
