Split, However, Permits New
Deal Democrats to
Forge Ahead.
STEPHENS is DEFEATED
BY FORMER. GOV. BILBO
Busby and Ellzey Trail Foes in
Representatives Race in
Mississippi Primary.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The new La Toilette Progressive
party failed in yesterdays primary
elections in Wisconsin TO stampede
the voters.
On the contrary, the Democratic
party candidates, pledged to the
Roosevelt New Deal, lead all the rest
in the size of the vote polled, ac-
cording to available returns with
nearly all the precincts in.
While the new party's candidates
for Governor and Senator, the La
Toilette brothers, former Gov. Philip
La Toilette and Senator Robert M. La
Toilette. rolled up substantial votes In
the primary, numerically they fell far
behind the candidates of the Demo-
cratic party. They were running
neck and neck with the Republican
candidates.
If there was an idea that the third
party movement was sweeping the
State like wild fire, the results Of the
primary have failed to demonstrate
it as fact.
Party Still in Infancy.
1t must be said for the La Toilette
Progressive party that it is new: only
a few months old, in fact. 1t still
has a chance of much greater de-
velopment before the election in No
vember.
Theodore G. Bilbo, Democratic
leader of the Huey Long type and
political philosophy, apparently was
the winner of the Democratic senate
rial nomination in Mississippi yester-
day. The latest returns show him
running several thousand votes ahead
of Senator Stephens. who was seeking
denomination. The two met in run
off primary election, made necessary
by the failure of Stephens or Bilbo to
obtain a majority of the vote cast in
the primary a couple of weeks ago,
when Representative Collins, third
candidate, rolled up good-sized vote.
Schmedeman Easy Victor.
Gov. Schmedeman of Wisconsin,
Democratic incumbent, won renomina-
tion easily in the primary. Five
Democratic candidates for the sena-
torial nomination were in the race
and John M Callahan was in the
lead, according to the latest returns,
with Francis E. McGovern, one-time
Republican Governor, second.
Senator La Toilette and former Gov.
Phil La Toilette received the Progress
sive nominations for Senator and Gov
ernor, while the Republicans nomi-
mated John B. Chapple for Senator
and Howard T. Green for Governor.
The vote in the primary was amaz-
ingly small, in the face of the exhorta-
tions of the political leaders to get out
the vote. Only about 100000 voters
turned out as compared to 100000 in
the primaries two years ago, and
100000 in the general election that
year. 1t is clear that the voters who
remained away from the polls yeSter-
day are really in the majority and
could, if they wished, produce verS
different results on election day, No
vember 6.

Deal has attained on this hitherto

MORTIFIED, Mass, September
19-Authorities are talking today of
the perfect crime" as they search for
the slayer of Elliot Speer, headmaSter
of Mount Hermon School.
The person who slew the educator
last Friday night left no tangible clue
and upon only one point did authori-
ties agree-that the killer left the
scene in an automobile which had
been parked not far from the head
masters residence The car has been
traced to a road leading to the nearby
town of Gill There the trail ends.
Glasses were resumed at the school
yesterday but Recitation Hall is still
being used by Lieut.. Albert DaSey for
the questioning of persons who might
throw some light upon the motive for
the slaying-a motive authorities ad-
nit they have not found.
The names of four former students
were given Investigators by Edwin P.
Thompson of Westerly, R. l., president
of the Mount Hermon Student Coun-
Gil for the past two years. He thought
those named might be of some help in
the investigation. The names were

NEW YORK, September 1s.-Ru-
mors that Capt Robert R. Willmott,
who died several hours before his ship,
the Moro Castle, was swept by fire,
had met with foul play were spiked
today by an officer of the liner.
Howard Hansen, fourth officer OF
the liner, told the Department OF
Commerce board investigating the
disaster that he had been summoned
to the dead captains room, that he
had tried to revive him unsuccessfully.
And were there any marks of vio-
lence on Capt Willmott's body?" asked
Karl C. Nielsen null inspector.
Not that saw" was the answer.
Rumors that Capt. Willmott had
died from unnatural causes, probably
through poisoning, were responsible for
analysis of his charred remains.
Pleads Ignorance.
Quizzed closely about the part he
played in fighting the flames. Hansen
testified he was not familiar with
the operations of certain parts of the
Moro Castles fire signal system.
Nielsen remarked that it seemed
strange" for a ships officer to
profess this ignorance.
The witness said that he had heard
no orders given from the bridge to
lower lifeboats, and that he had seen
no fire doors closed to block the
advance of the flames
Previously, a passenger, Doris
Wacker, l8, of RoSelle Park, N. j.,
testified that after she had emerged
from her cabin to the deck she saw
no officers about, nor were there any
stewards in evidence to assist the
frantic passengers.

The inquiry was resumed with testi-
mony from Miss Wacker.

She said that she and a friend had
decided to stay up all night, on the

Guards Called After Police
Battle PiCketS at Mill
Gates.
BY the Associated Press.

Rioting broke out in Waterville,
Me, today, new scene OF violence on
the textile strike front.
National Guardsmen were ordered
to duty in Waterville after a bitter
fray outside the Lockwood Manufac-
turing Co. MILL
Police fought a hand-to-hand bat
tie with picketS at the mill gates.
Tear gas guns barked, stones were
hurled, and a hundred windows in
the mill shattered during the out
break, the worst of the strike in
Maine to date.
The strikes death toll mounted.
Ernest K. Riley, 40, Mount Holly,
N. c., who suffered a bayonet wound
last night in strike rioting at Bel
mont, died in a hospital. His death
was the ninth fatality attributable
to the strike in the Carolinas.
Officers Disperse Crowd.
Tear gas and fire hose were used
by special officers to diSperse yell
ing, rock-hurling crowd of several
i
ting Mill at Spartanburg, S. c., today.
The mill has been closed since the
first week of the strike, but a small
group worked in the stock room yes
terday and picket lines were estab-
lished this morning.
AS the crowd milled about the
plant, ignoring orders to move on, the
Guards turned a fire hose on it. A
barrage of rocks came back from the
crowd and two tear gas bombs were
exploded by the officers. In the face
of the gas attack the pickets fed.
At Lyman, S. c., % men whom Off
GERS said were attempting to block
the road to the Pacific Mills were
taken into custody. The Pacific Mills
reopened Monday under National
Guard protection.
Report Nears Completion.
Meanwhile, hope for a peace move
in the strike centered on President
Roosevelt as report to him by the
Strike Mediation Board neared COM
pletion. The report was expected to
be submitted today or tomorrow.
The report was awaited eagerly on
all sides in the hope it might contain
a clue to settlement of the con-
troversy in which 100000 textile
workers are now estimated to be idle
AS more mills reopen, conflicting
claims came from employers and work
ers as to the number of operatives
returning to work. Union leaders
said the workers are holding theiI
lines, with the number of those re-
turning to work offset by new con-
verts to the ranks of the strikers
Manufacturers asserted the number
of strikers was diminishing.

DES MONIES, September 1e.-Des
Moines' four and half hour electric
strike came to an abrupt end this
morning when striking mechanical
workers and employers reached an
agreement after a conference with
Gov. Clyde L. Herring.
The settlement brought electric
power flooding back into the network
of Des Moines and six nearby cities
which had been virtually without elec-
trio current since the master switch
at a central plant here was pulled at
l:57 am, Central standard time, on
orders of the strike leaders.
The settlement provides for arbitra-
ton of wage and recognition disputes
between company union, the local

social development of the
country.
Gulden's work spread. Pelley's
interest had been aroused ana at
three o'clock on the afternoon of
March 81. 1884, another group of
men met at the 57th Street adj
dress. This group consisted of
Commander Charles E. Gilpin, Col
c. w. Thlrockkmorton, Guden, Col,
=. n. Sanctuary, Capt. Moriarity,
). ID. Roys and Walter Johnson.
The country was in the fifth
year of a crisis. The Communist
party was growing. To these men
it seemed that the revolution
would be imported in a rowboat
any hour and the Jews, as Jews,
were held responsible for Moscow,
the Third International, and the
Mississippi flood. 1t sounds insane
of course but so were Hitler's
rawlings before he got into power.
This very secret group decided to
organize an espionage ard proDa-
ganda system among the Jews
and the Communists. Members
were to be taken from the upper
strata of the military, business
and social life of the nation, with
each member, before he was ac-
copied, carefully investigated. BY
six o'clock, when the meeting ad-
iourned, the organization was
founded. It das called the "Order
of '76" and Royal Scott Gulden
was appointed secretary to direct
espionage and propaganda.
Almost Immediately United
States Naval and Military intelli-
gence officers. members of the
Union League Club, New York
City detectives, bankers and bus
mess men joined. Gulden himself
knew little about spying and was
at loss how to direct them. But
he remembered a man Col. Emer-
son had suggested, and in the lat
ter part of spring, 1884, Gulden
was closeted with this man in a
secret conference for two hours.
At the end of that time the my
sterious person emerged ready to
direct the organizations spy sys-
tenn. Every effort was made to
keep the mans identity secret. To
this day the identity of this man
has been Withheld from most of the
