The announced subject for dis- lission was “American Policies,” but the diplomatict's brief speech touched ©on that theme only in an indirect way through praise of the president. “I have just come from a visit to President Wilson,” he said, ‘and the picture I have in my mind of him sit- 4Ing there so cool is one I cannot for- 8%4.

I'rederick C .Tanner, chair- man of the republican state committee and one of the “Big Four”, sent a telegram to Governor Whitman ex- plaining that owing to the impossibi ity of United States Senator James W. Wadsworth attending such conference it had been called off. The conference had been called for Feb. 16 following the unofficial state convention, which designated Senator Wadsworth, Governor Whitman, Mr. Tanner,'and State Senator Elon R. Brown as delegates-at-large. William Barnes and other members of the Old Guard, who are strongly in favor of the nomination of Mr. Root, thought Mr. Brown and Mrs. Wadsworth, who also favor Root, might be able to con- vince Governor Whitman and Mr. Tan- ner that Mr. Root would be the best candidatte. Both the governor and Mr, Tanner are inclined toward the nomination of Charles IZ. Hughes for president. Chairman Tanner has not been strongly In favor of such a conference as he thought the delegation should go to Chicago uninstructed. He com- municated with Governor Whitman, however, and the governor said that either Thursday, Friday or Saturday of this weck would suit him and that he would attend the conference if it was called. Senator Wadsworth had gone to Chicago in the meantime, and Chair- man Tanner could not get in commun- ication with him. Yesterday the chair- man, learning that Mr. Wadsworth had gone on to Washington, reached him by long distance telephone; but the senator said that, owing to the se- rious situation in Washington, he could not come here at this time. national AGAINST H.

CATCH GRAFT TAKER | AS HE GRABS CASH Custom House Examiner Watched | While Accepting Dealer’s Bribe New York, Feb. 26.—Harry Morant | of 160 West Seven for twenty-three the Custom House, was held yesterday under $3,500 bail by S. Commi sioner Houghton on the charge of ac- cepting a bribe of $100 from Edward N. Poons, an importer of straw braids and hats at 196 Mercer street. Mo- rant’s arrest was the result of an in- vestigation by Special Treasury Agent Howard B. Esterbrook into the Ap- praiser's Stores, growing out of sus- -ninth street, vears an examiner at | picion aroused when Charles I. Stager another examiner was convicted of a somewhat similar offense in connec- | tion with Sciama & Co., feather im- porters. Morant had the desk next | to Stager, who is appealing to the Circuit Court of Appeals against a penitentiary sentence. According to the complaint, Poons on Jan. 20 entered a consignment of straw braids from Japan, valued at | $9,000. Morant raised the valuation 25 per cent., and Poons, confident of his own figure, filed an appeal for a reappraisement with the General Ap- praisers. Agreed to Admit Error. If the board should uphold Mo- rant's figures, Poons would have to pay, in addition to regular duty, a penalty of about $1,500 for underval- uation. The reappraisement was to be made next Monday, and, according to Assistant United States District At- torney Harold Harper, Morant sought out Mr. Poons and suggested that for $100 he would admit to the board that through error he had overvalued the consignment. Poons notified the authorities nf[ Morant’s alleged proposal and wa instructed to go on with the negotia- tions. Mr. Estabrook was secreted in Poons'office yesterday when Morant is alleged to have accepted five $20 notes after agreeing with Poons to change the valuation. Esterbrook is alleged to have seized Morant while he had the money in his hands. ATAS, POOR ADAM. Many Qualifications Placed on Him by Minnesota College Girls. Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 26.—The Minnesota Daily, the student newspa- per of the University of Minnesota, which had asked the women students of the institution the question, “How much salary must £ man receive be- fore you would consent to marry? yesterday received replies that from $800 to $10,000 a year was re- quired. Most of the girls were con- servative in their demands, however, and the general average was about $1,600. One girl wrote, “What is money to me. Give me a true, loving husband and a cottage.” A large majority of the girls demanded that their future husbands be good dancers, some said they must know the ‘“latest steps,” and one went so far as to say she would marry only a man who was a ‘“dreamy dancer.” Smoking would be permitted, even demanded, by a large number of the girls, but drink- ing would be prohibited. ‘T.R.

Stone St, Louis, Mo., Feb. 26.—Senator James A. Reed of Missouri in an ad- dress read before the Missourl Dem- ocratic Editors’ association yesterday denounced Colonel Theodore Roose- velt and Senator Elihu Root for en- gaging in “an effort to destroy the ef- fect of our peaceful negotiations” with foreign powers. “Thank God, we have escaped Roosevelt,” said Senator Reed in re- ferring to ‘the latest presidential elec- tion, “and yet he appears to be the chief spolkesman of the political man- agers of the republican party . “Roosevelt's. attitude, however, need occasion no surprise. A character in ‘The Mikado' was born sneerins. Roosevelt was surely born snarling. Apparently he has always wanted to fight something. His instinct is to tear and rend God Almighty generally knows the kind of a face to hang a man. Roosevelt's countenance is the equivalent of a breach of peace. Brother Root. “When we come to Brother Root, however, the transformation is tragic. Two short years ago he was the in- ternational apostle of peace. In those £ood old days we were taught that we should malke arbitrate everything with nations that never will arbitrate a vital thing unless they can whip us. It was declared that the millennium had arrived; the enthusiasts waved flags and built dove cotes. The majestic measure of treaties to velt on a common platform, with Root ‘the disciple of peace,’ engaged in hurling war shafts at the devoted bos- om of the president of the United States, is enough to provoke the laugh- ter of gods and the contempt of men.” ALLIES’ AUTO ADRIFT. New York, Feb. 26.—In the thick of the rainstorm which enveloped the river early yesterday morning several persons, now believed by the Weehaw- ken police to be German sympathiz- ers bent on destroying any consign- ments intended for the Allies, crept up to the pier of the Erle Railroad and cut loose a lighter loaded with 150 auto trucks which were to have been shipped to Liverpool on the S. S. Student. They worked in the dark with such stealth that the watchman did not hear a sound, as they severed the cables which moored the lighter to the pier. Sage-Alen & Co.
