say how far the discussions had pro-
ceeded. The two ministers have been

The trial of Gen. Ludendorff and
Adolph Hitler for their part in the
nationalistic ''putsch" in Bavaria last
November was to have been begun in
Munich today. Hitler, who has been
organizer and leader of the Bava-

an operation might prevent his APP
pearance for trial. Hitler's support
ers, moreover. have been threatening
another putsch, which they declared
would prevent the trial of their lead
er in any event. and it has been re-
ported that all parties were making
efforts to put the trial off indefinitely
or abandon it, because of the politi-
cal bitterness which it would be GER
tain to stir up anew.
For some time there have been ru-
mors that DR.. Won kahr would re-
sign as dictator. He has been con-
Stantly under guard because of

CHICAGO. February 1S.-More than
three hundred advocates of the can
didacy of william Gibbs McAdoo for
the democratic nomination for Presi-
dent, gathered here today and saw
Judge David Ladd Rockwell of Ohio
open the conference that will decide
whether the Teapot Dome disclosures s
have or have not made Mr.. McAdoo
unfit to continue as presidential
candidate.
A Soodly scattering of women were
noted in the gathering that listened
to the keynote speech delivered by
Homer Cummings of Connecticut,
former chairman of the democratic
national committee.
Quite a number of railroad labor
men were also seen among those
present. including Daniel Ryan of the
carmenS union. President Sheppard
of the railroad conductors body and
others.

The conference was called. Mr..
Cummings said, mot only to discern
the fortunes of an Individual. but a
consider the fate oil the cause OF
liberalism
Those who control the republican
d desperate attempt to divert at
tention from their own dereliction,
are striving to ImplIcate democrats
in the disgraceful disclosures in the
Teapot Dome scandal.
Not one democratic official and
not one person mentioned in con-
nection with the democratic presi-
Dental nomination has been touched
by the revelations.
"A special attempt has been made
tn iisprp6it Mr. McA6pn huf q
known and admitted everywhere that
Mr. McAdoo had no connection, direct
ly or indirectly. with these scandals.
Continue to Fight.
The mere statement of the stu
alton reveals the absurdity of the
suggestion that there has been any
impairment of his strength as a
candidate.
THE forces of liberalism have
gathered around Mr.. McAdoo to con-
tinue the struggle which began in
1913 to free American institutions
from special privilege"
George T.. Milton. manager of the
McAdoo forces in Tennessee. reported
that McAdoo clubs all over Tennessee
had passed resolutions demanding
that MIR. McAdoo continue in the race
for the democratic presidential nomi-
nation. Tennessee sent a delegation
of twelve members. representing as
many sections of the state, to the
conference.
J. II. Campbell in charge of the
Des Mines McAdoo headquarters,
read a statement declaring his belief
that "The democratic party cannot
afford to establish the precedent of
permitting an outstanding candidate
to withdraw at the instance of par
tisan attack emanating from the
cesspool of partisan political in
trigues and corruption"

clared there had been mo weakening

ti.\4ted at $4,000.

y n-commissioned officer and a
private were killed and property
damage 10 the extent of $4,000 was
done in fire which broke out at
Fort Humphreys, Va, early yester-
day morning and quickly destroyed
two barr okS buildings in which
fifty men We're quartered. For Il
time large part of the camp was
| threatened.
Staff Sergt John Miller was burned
to death as. confused, he ran into the
fames in his efforts to escape, and
Private Charles Grannis was SO badly
burned that he died at the post hos
pital about five hours later.
The fire, which is OF undetermined
origin. was discovered at little be
fore $50 am. by the cook, who was
preparing breakfast in the kitchen
of one Of the demolished barracks.
He turned in the alarm. bringing the
post fire department and almost the
entire command of about 500 men TO
the scene. Meanwhile the men. who
were quartertd in a separate room in
the burned building, We're awakened.
The flames spread so quickly that
some Were forced to jump from the
secondstory windows, distance of
about twelve feet.
Sergt. Miller's room was near fire
escape, but, evidently confused, he
failed to obey the Instructions that
We're shouted to him to get out of the
window and use the ladder. Instead
he ran downstairs into the flames.
and his burned body was later found
in the ruined corridor connecting the
two buildings. Private Grannis was
on the second floor, and shouted that
he was coming out. He delayed how
ever. and at great personal risk his
comrade, Private Svendson of the
Quarter master Corps, went in and
found him with his clothes on fire
and brought him out. Grannis. how
ever, was so badly burned that he
died about noon. Private Svendson
will be commended for his action in
the report which will be sent to the
War Department.
So fast did the fire spread that the
two buildings were completely gutted
within thirty minutes after the alarm
was sounded. according to Maj. j. II.
Adams, the fort fire marshal Six
lines were played on the fire. the heat
from which became 50 intense that
the crews holding the lines had to be
relieved every minute or so. Efforts
were concentrated on preventing the
spread of the fire to the adjoining
wooden buildings and QGartermsster
Corps and finance headquarters.
An investigation will be conducted
into the cause Of the blaze. 1t has
been assured that the fire did not
start in the furnace or in the kitchen.
The electric wiring and heating plant
had also been recently inspected. Col
James A. Woodruff. in command of
the fort is inclined to believe the fire
started in room on the second tioor
of one of the buildings.
Lieut.. Col. James F. Hall. L. S. A.

of Engineers, and Lieut.. X. NJ. Nc

The bodies of the men will be sent
home. Sergt. Miller was native Of
Lewiston. Me, and his nearest of kin
is a sister, Mrs. Catherine Martin of

is his mother. Mrs. Myrtle Grannis of

in virtual isolation of the state OF
Hidalgo by rail.
Swopping down upon Tellez sta
tion, between Mexico City and Pa

and a mixed train. They turned two
locomotives wild" on the main line
With the other two engines the
rebels tore up long stretches of track

trains. The passengers were not
harmed, but were forced to make
their way on foot to Pachuca.
Protect Rail Traffic.
Increased precautions have been
ordered by the war department to
protect rail traffic between Mexico

trains have been moleStcd.

manufactured large quantities of
bombs before they evacuated Vera
Cruz on February 4. These bombs
are to be used in blowing up trains
and bridges. according to informa-
ton here. When the rebels left Vera
Cruz they divided into numerous
small groups, railroad officials assert.
and it is these bands that they ex-
pect to begin destruction of rail
property.
