CONVENTIONS RACE CHAQTIC SITUATION Conference of Harmony Committees Lasts Two Hours Without Definite Results. SECOND MEETING IS PROBABLE Chicago, June 9.—Delegates to the republican and progressive national conventions assembled at the Coli- seum and the Auditorium here this morning, facing a chaotic situation unprecedented in American political history. The progressives met at 10 o'clock and the republi:ans at 11 o'clock. Uncertainty as thick and deurate :s the murky weather that has hung over Chicago for three days, pre- vailed, and all eyes were straiped to catch the first possible clearing of the political clouds or to anticipate the deeper black of the renewed party antagonism. The day was ushered in by a mid- night conference, that will become historic, of “peace committees” from the_ progressives and the reyubhcans. which took place a: the Chicago club on Michigan boulevard. The confer- ence adjourncd before 1 o'clock with- out definite results, it was said, and details of its deliberations were with- held. It may meet again this after- noon or tonight, or it may not, only the developments of the day can de- termine that, Make Remarkable Picture. It was a remarkable picture formed by the men seated about the confer- ence board in whose hands rested the destinies of the republican and pro- gressive parties. The republican committee was com- posed. of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, chairman; former Senator W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts, Sen- ator William E. Borah of Idaho, Nicolas Murray Butler of New York and A. R. Johnsén of Ohio. The progressive committee had George W. Perkins of New York for chairman, and the other members were Governor Hiram W. Johnson of California, Horace ». Wilkinson of New York, Charles J. Bonaparte of Maryland and John M. Parker of New Orleans, For more than two hours the con- ferees discussed the points at issue between the progressives and the re- publicans and took up details of the peace plans projected earlier in the day by the two conventiocns when the conference committees on harmony had been appointed. When adjourn- ment came it was announced that “we report progress” and the statement was made that the members of the two committees would not get to- gether again until after the sessions of the conventions today. They pre- pared reports which are being pre- sented to their respective conven- tions, “It is understood,” said Senatot Borah, after last night's conference, “that while nominating speéches will be made in each.convention today, no nominations ‘will be made.” “And,” said another member of the committee, “we will resume negotia- tions in the afternoon or evening.” Some of the progressives hoped that Color :1 Roosevelt at Oyster Bay would end a message to the har- mony conferees, or to the progressive convention, that would have a bearing on_the situation. The men advocating the nomination by the republican convention of Jus- tice Charles E. Hughes of the su- preme court declared this morninfi they believed their candidate coul be nominated today and prepared to press for action on a nomination without delay, . Managers for_the various “favorite son” candidates insisted the harmony conference program had greatly im- proved the chances for their men. But in the absence of any definite report of what happened at the “peace” conference at the Chicago club, few were sanguine of definite results. A majority seemed to think the two conventions will go ahead regardless of each other, make their nominations and adjourn. In this connection one of the mem- bers of last night's’ conference de- clared: “The conference has not changed the situation in respect to the prob- able nomination of Justice Hughes by the republcan convention. A situa- tion has been created by which the progressives will prnbahl?' be willing to postpone the desire of the radical delegates to rush into a nomination of Colonel Roosevelt for the sole pur- pose of putting a ticket in the field. T believe the influence of the conference is for good feeling, regardless of whether we accomplished the main purpose of coming together or not.” Bill Countryside With Navy Appeals Yeoman Stoner of the lodal navy recruiting office has been touring western Iowa in his peace boat billing the rural districts with pictures and printed appeals for men to join the navy. The oldest inhabitant and principal grocery store philosopher of one town visited mistook the navy lads for a troupe of actors and inquired, “Be you goin’ to give somethin’ in the opry house?” WOULD HAVE PRISONERS PUT IN NEUTRAL LANDS London, June 9.—The Daily Graph- ic, discussing the alleged hardships of British prisoners in Germany, sug- gests that the prisoners of all the bel- ligerent nations be transferred to neu- tral countries and be paid for by the respective governments. he Graphic urges the United States to take up the matter to the extent of making a special appeal to the German government to agree to such an arrangement, Treat Coughs and Colds at Once, Dangerous bronchial and lung afl; follow neglected nolds—take Dr. King's New Discovery; it will keep you well.

D, of Isaiah temple, Chi- cago, delivered the following invoca- tion before the progressive national convention here today: “0 Lord, whose throne is the heav- ens, whose footstool is the earth; O God, who art the Father of all peo- ples, the ruler of all nations; O Eter- nal One, who art supreme above the din of battle and mighty above the voices of many waters; Thy judments reach to the uttermost ends of the earth, Thou makest for rightcousness, even when clouds and thick darkness are round about Thee. . “Thou bringest order out of chaos, light out of darkness, good out of evil, peace out of conflict, even though the earth do change and the mountains be moved; even though nations rage and kingdoms totter. And we need have no fear for the days to come, if we keep the truth and establish jus- tice, if we despise the g:in of oppres- sion and sek peace and pursue it. “Théu art our refuge and our strength, a very present help in times of trouble and perplexity. Oh, send us Thy light ameEy truth that they may lead us to the real sources of na- tional strength. Inspire us with an ever-growing and ever-deepening love of those ideals which have made our country great, and which can weld to- gether those who left their homes in all parts of the earth to find security and liberty within our portals. “Let Thy spirit of wisdom and un- derstanding, of counsel and might, rest upon this convention, that its lofty passions may inspire the confi- dence of the people, that its righteous indignations may purge the nation of its materialism, that its high aspira- tions may strengthen the conviction that the true greatness of our country lies not in the abundance of the things we possdss, but in the justice of our laws and institutions, in our devotion to peace founded on righteousness and love, in the brotherhood of all the races and nations, all the cladses and creeds within our borders. “Bless our country that it may be a stronghold of peace, an advocate of peace in the councils of nations, a messenger of peace unto the peoples of the earth, an apostle of peace striv- ing earnestly for a realization of the prophet’s dream of the day when men will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning-hooks, | when nation will not lift up the sword against nation and they will not learn war any more, when every man will sit under his vine and his fig-tree, and none will make him afraid. “Thine, O God, be the greatness and the might and the glory and the victory. Amen.” THE ~BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1916. Ring Hears Kids Depew and Cannon and Mr. Borah Make Their Talks‘ BY RING W. LARDNER. Chicago, June 9.—Special Tele- gram.)—Some way or other I under- stood they were going to start yester- day's session at 9 o'clock, so I got there at a quarter after 11 and they had just started and then I found out that 11 was the starting time and here I'd worried for the fear 1 was two hours late and something big might of happened and Mr. Hyde and Phil- lips and son might not of known how to handle it. Bryan come in right after me and the band played, “Rock of Ages.” He bowed his ackuowlcds- ments then the band played a med- ley of Scotch airs and when they come to Old Lang Sygne, the southern dele- gation chgered thinking it was Dixie, Then lfr. Smoot of Utah gave the report of the committee on foreign missions and then the temporary or- ganization composed of Mr, Harding was made permanent and he got up to thank somebody and received an ova- tion that lasted seven minutes or only just an hour and a half less than what Roosevelt was gave at the moose con- vention Wednesday. Mr. Harding an- nounced that the rules committee was not quite ready to report and the band played .some more and when Mr. Warren of Michigan was all ready with the new rules and when you seen his manuscript you had to forgive him for not being ready quicker and if it had been up to me to write them they would of been ready the day after Mr. Thompson is inaugurated at Washington, D. C. Rules of the Game. I suppose other journalists took down the rules, but I can remember a few of them from memory. Rule 7—Hawaiia and Porto Rico and the Fillipinos get two delegates apiece after this. Penalty, loss of ten yards and the down remains the same. Rule 9—The national committee has got to set the date of the conven- tion four months ahead of time. Pen- alty, the ball goes to the opponents at | the point offense was committed. Rules 149—No degradation can change its vote unless it is proven that an error was made in announcing it. Penalty, disqualification of the of- fending players and loss of half the | distance to the goal ot the side on which he is playin%. I thought Mr. Warren did very good, and that's from the heart, and not just because he is from Michigan. After Mr. Warren got through his report was adopted and he was tickled to death at not having to re write it, but some of us were pretty mad because if he had of had to re- write over again the convention woul | still be going on here yet all ney ;.\\-m‘l\. and we couldn’t go to St. Louis Mo. Kid Chauncey. | Then they was a kid named Depew jor something got up to speak a piece |and showed a whole lot of nerve for | a kid and told some pretty good gags land one of them was about the Ford | horseless carriages and he says the :Fords was just like a bath tub be- | cause everybody wants one, but no- body wants to be seen in them. 1 thought they was parts of the kids speech that sounded like as if he was boosting Roosevelt, but when I told that to Sid Smith he says I was a boob, so I guess I won't express no more opinions. Young Depew was followed up by a lad named Cannon that give a speech and dance. He wound up and whirled around before he begin his sentences, and a good umpire would of bawled him out and says his delivery was un- legal because he didn't stay on the slab or face the batter. Hates the Barber. Then come Mr. Borah from out west some where's-and a darn good talker, but a barber hater in regards to his back hair. None of the boys knew they was to be called on till" last February and they done very good for not hawing no preparations. Mr. Borah hadn’t no sooner set down than a delegate that hadn’t got called on for a speech lost his tem- er and moved to adjourn_ till four gelll and the move was carried on ac- count of evérybody being Wwild for a smoke. Then we was squeezed out of the place and what do you think it was doing when we got outside? It was raining and nobody had expected nothing like that and no preparations made to get us down town till one of the ushers that knowed Sid Smith ast him and I tore down in a machine. Well, Sid ast four others to go along with us and that made eight includ- ing the driver and the machine was a Ford. So long before we got down town we knowed another reason why a Ford and bathtub is both alike be cause when they's eight people in them they’re kind of crowded. In return for them giving us the ride down town Sid mst me to take 'lunch with him at one of his clubs | and says good bye to the people that | owned the car. After lunch we come over to the office and a boy was using the typewriter that they give me to | use this week only and I had to be took in the suite of room’s where the editorial writers has their trance and Orchard & Wilhelm 414-416-418 South 16th St. Beginning June 15th, this store will ;lose at 5:00 o’clock, except Saturdays at 9:'00 o’clock, in accordance with the rules adopted by the Omaha Retailers’ Asso- ciation for early summer closing.

While 1 was trying to write this | stutt Cliff went up to the cashier and | got some more money and the cashier 1s on the eleventh floor now and when CIiff come back and told me where he wasn't convenient for the cashier to he so far away, and he says it was bet- ter 1o have the cashicr on the eleventh floor and not the fifth because when vou got in the elevator to come down had been at I made the remark that it ! cluded Squinch and Wymie, which he says was different Swede dialects. We taked about this, that and the other thing, and finally he says he would have to go into some room where he had left $13 worth of Okels, so then I seen he was lasping into Squinch and I coudn’t understand that yqueer tongue, so I says: | “Panger,” and that means “good-| | bye” in Wymie. | *“Bross,” he says, meaning, 1 sup- pose, “good-bye” in Squinch.
