Lynchburg, Va., January :6.?Instead
of developing Into n peace conference,
?with the olive brnnch floating high,
the mooting of the Virginia League
magnates, held In the Carroll Jlote.
to-day for tho purpose of electing an
"ther pre?ldent, developed Into a ver?
bal sparring match.? with the encoun?
ter between the cats of Kilkenny a
peaceful pastime an compared to mili?
tant tactics of the men particularly and
peculiarly Interested In bneeball. ?
Tritely and without trimmings, (.he
meeting camo to the conclusion that no
r.greement could tie reached. Tho split
?woe as apparent and ar, roa- as It hah
been at any of the previous meetings.
Meeting No. 6 In the official roster was
a frosi. Speeches-?-oh, a great many of
them?were made, all with conciliation
as the keystone of the forensic out-1
burst, but when tho vote was called.'
l.ynchburg. Richmond and Danville1
voted solidly against Williams, while
Roanoke^ Norfolk and Petersburg voted1
just as solidly for him.
Nothing happened until 6 o'clock. W.
B. Bradley and Advisory Counsel W.
H. Sands, of Richmond, arrived early.
C". R. Williams had arrived the night
before. Dr. j. R. Carson, president of
tho Central Dengue, and tho man sent,
by j. II; Farrell, secretary of tho No-'
ilonal Board of Arbitration as media?
tor in the family feud, has been here
tor several days. What he accom?
plished 1b not known?at least, not spe?
cifically known. It Is absolutely ccr-l
tain that he did not tlnd time to got
ihe warring factions together.
Along about 4 o'clock In tho after?
noon Dr. J. R. McCrary, of Norfolk,
with Charlie .Shaffer, put In uppcar
unce. With this belated delegation
cum? Dennis Perklnsoh and .1. W. Sow
urd, of Petersburg. Lobbying began at
once. The one object wns to lind the
other fellow's weukntss.
Charge* Affalnnt Williams.
Charges will be preferred against
Re sident C. R. Williams by Richmond,
Lynch burg and Danville. What the na?
ture of these charges will be could not
liu found out to-night. These charges
will bo formally prercntcd to the Na?
tional Board of Arbitration, and thnt
body will set a specific date for the
hearing.
Naturally there were many rumors
afloat. None ot those, however,
materialized. The first news that
Lynchburg had weakened and would
support Williams. This proved a
myth. Next was that a compromise
would be reached upon the basis of a
change of circuit, 'this likewise
proved without foundation.
Reports to the contrary notwith?
standing Dr. Carson did not presioe,
nor did he attempt to preside. When
the meeting was called to order by
President Williams, with each of the
telx clubt represented, and after a
motion had been put and carried dis?
pensing with the reading of the
minutes of the. previous meeting, w.
Sands, advisory counsel for Rich?
mond, offered a motion that In view of
the fact that Dr. Carson was In at?
tendance a committee should wall up?
on him and request that he address
the meeting.
Upon his introduction to the body.
Dr. Carson look occasion to auy that
be represented the National Board of
Arbitration and that he was present to
help the Virginia League to settle Its
disputes. IL- hopcu that scmo
amicable agreement could Ue reached
and that the. two fractions would gel
together. There wub nothing doing inj
tho get-together line. The alignment
was foreseen. There was never any
wavering. Richmond, Lynchburg, and
Danville voted ngalnst Williams. The
other three clubs voted for htm. A
loiter of Instructions from j. H. Far?
rell, secretary of the Nat'ontil Board
defining just what were the duties of
the mediator had no effect. Neither
did the. ve:./ evident desire of Ad?
visory Counsel Sands, to put the Wil?
liams fuctior In the outlaw class.
They tat quietly In the boat, contend?
ing that an election hud been held.
Agrccineut Impossible.
It all came about in this wise. Ad?
visory Counsel Sands moved that the
election of olticcrs be entered Into. To
this u point of order was rn-sed. The
point of order wus that inasmuch as
an election hud been held at a previous
meeting I" Petersburg, the question
\vu8 not pertinent at this time. The
point of order was suslulned by the
chair. An appeal from the decision of
the chair failed of a majority, the vote
being three and three. Or... tile chair
wus sustained. .
After finding that an agreement on
any question was Impossible a motion
to adjourn wns made. Prior to tho
vote being put, Dr. Carson again ad?
dressed llie meeting, askln? the mem
I cr.s to consider well what they wore
doing and what effect their action
Mould have on tho Nutonul Board when
his report of tho proceedings was con
biderrd. Dr. Carsoti'H secontl talk had
ihc effect of making the meeting ad?
journ for ono hour. This wus at 10
o'clock.
Promptly at midnight the meeting
was calleei together again. There was'
nothing to do. ' The division wns as
hopeless as before. Introduction of
documentary evidence was the pro?
cedure. Leiters conialnlitK the cull
for the meeting tvore Introduced; also

ground that they were immaterial.
I Steiner G. Laugher, margin clerk for

by Attorney John Horton Payne, who

Hold the same day In cities hundreds

tempted to show that the price was
fixed solely by the law of supply and
demand and by the ability of the
branch house managers.
The government contends that the
test cost and margin Were the means
used by the alleged combination of
packers to tlx the price, and that the
system was uniform, although the fig?
ures might differ on separate lots of

Amendment Offered.
With the greatest east-, without any?
thing Unit could be remotely called a
fight, and with but two voices raised
in Ineffective protest. Speaker Richard
Evelyn Gyro yesterday secured the pas
sago of his bill legalizing primary elec?
tions by the House of Delegates. The
voto on tho linal passage, was 6'J to
20. The dissenting ballots represented
threo factions?those who want a more
strenuous and compulsory measure,
tho.*.? who want no primaries at all, and
tho Republicans.
But even this analysis 1& not entire?
ly correct, since members who do not
especially want primaries voted for
the bill as legalizing those which are
held, while not requiring any locality
to adopt this method.
BxPcnacn Are Limited.
The bill, which will go to the Sen?
ate to-day, there to be guided through
legislative mazes by Senator Ho wolf j
C, Fealhcrston, who has collaborated
with Speaker Byrd In its production,
provides penalties for Its violation
which It is believed will be effective.
Wherever possible, Its provisions arc
to be carried out by operation of gen?
eral lawn referring to regular elections,
but In addition It limits the amount
that may be spent by candidates and
requires that friends who spend money
for others must give In 3worn state?

Ilyrd Wlna Every Point.
Numerous efforts were made to amend]
tho measure In accordance with lndl-j
vldual ideas ' of members, but no
changes went through save those ac?
cepted by the patron. Tho bill, he said,
had been prepared as a whole and care-I
fully considered by u number of peo-'
pie and by two committees, and he'
would consent lo no amendment on the
floor to change a portion without re?
gard to Its effect on the entire propo?
sition.
When the Speaker expressed a doubt

that he cared nothing for It and that'

at all He advocated a reuirn to the
ancient system of vlvu voce voting, but
the Speaker characterized this as an
anachronism and a relic of darker ages.
Almost the entire, time of the House
was taken up yesterday with consider?
ation of the primary bill, while the]
Senate did very little. As lias been the,
caso since the beginning of tho session,'
most of the interest centred about
meetings of committees.

Aside from consideration of the pro?
posed woman's co-ordinate college atj
or near the University of Virginia, the'
debate on which lias reached such aj
heat that it has attracted many of the
State's most distinguished men and
women, the topic of widest Importance
debated yesterday was the Williams!

HOSTILE FEELING
MELTED BY SPEECH
Dr. Alderman Explains What
Constitutes True Co-Ordinate
Education, and Regrets Bit?
terness Occasioned Among
Friends and Alumni of
University Over Bill.
As a net result of the last public
hearing on the question of cttabt'ahlng|
a co-ordinate college for women at tho
University of Vlrglnlo, the rift be- j
tween tho warring factions stand ? no?
ticeably lessened, with tho possibility|
of an adjustment of their differences!
on a basis embodying to a certa'n ex-1
tent the Ideas of both sides, at least'
within the range of probability. The!
Important speakers before tho Senate
Committee on Public Institutions anc.
Education last night showed a decided'
tendency to give consideration to the
cbjcctlona raised by the opposition, and
raised hopes that what i.us developed
into a bitterly contested question now,
bids fair to proceed to an equitable
solution.
The spirit of relentless hosUllty
melted when President Alderman, i in
a speech marked by deep feeling aud j
tempered with deep concern over tho:
division that the question has occa-j
slontd among friends and alumni, tool
what In his opinion constitutes It no
co-ordlnato education and what added
prestige and greatness will cotilu ,o
the University of Virginia in taking
the step under discussion. IPs speech
carried conviction and placed the op?
posing faction at once on the defen?
sive.
Will neport Tuesday.
Tho committee, owing to the late?
ness of the hour, voted to adjourn
without going into executive session.
to take action on the bill. The pub-'
lie hearings were declared ended, andj
when tho committee meets next Tues-I
day it will discuss the measure and
report Its findings to the Senate.
Speculation as to the committee's
probable action took many forms. The
preponderance of opinion was to tho
effect that it -vill rcyirt tftf bill favor?
ably with minor amendments. Others
Inclined to the belief that while a
bare majority of- the committee Is in
favor of the bill, questions of a finan?
cial nature will operate to make them
recommend that action in the matter
Lc held over for the next Legislature.
Defines Co-urdlnutc Education.
Profacing his address with an ex?
pression of regret that the question
had given rise to go much pain and*
controversy between friends equally
loyal to the university, and that he
was thus compoilcd to take a stand
which must to some degree be at va?
riance with ilie opinion of many of the
university's loyal alumni, Dr. Alderman
addressed'himself to an elaborate, defl-1
nltion of co-ordthato education'. It was!
the term around which clashed the wid?
est difference of opinion In the recent |
Controversy, and the one which mostj
needed full explanation. At the morn?
ing meeting tho hope was expressed by!
Kppn Munton, Jr., the leader of tjbc,
antls, that Dr. Alderman would, at thej
evening hearing, stale fully to the
committee Just What he regarded as j
true co-ordltiate education.
The co-ordinate woman's college at!
? the University of Virginia, if It Is
constructed in accordance with Dr.
Alderman's description, will be located
at some distance from the university
buildings?not less than a quarter ot
a mile away, and not more than a mile.
It will have a separate and distinct
existence.
Separate linlldluK?.
The woman'.-- college will have a com?
plete plant of Its own; Including, bes.des
the dormitories, such academic build?
ings us lecture halls, recitation halls,
society and club rooms, dining halls
and gymnasium. It will have its own
corps of teachers and officers, und In
every way, except In such respects us
in the opinion of the officers of the unl
I versify may bo beneficial to both ele?
ments, will be wholly aloof and dls
tinct from thai part of the university
[devoted to the instruction and caro^
I of the men.
With such a plan for a base. Dr. J
Alderman looked confidently to the
founding at the university of a higher
institution of learning for the educa?
tion of Virginia women which will
create a distinctive atmosphere for
Itself and at the .-ante time do no vio?
lence to trite minis and fame of tho
Institution planned by Thomas Jef?
ferson.
\nt I ncdiicutlou.
Dr. Alderman assailed the statement
advanced by many of the speakers of
the Other side that even If such an
institution would 1" the beginning be
free from the most objectionable fea?
tures of coeducation, it would be only
a question of time before frank co?
education would supplant It. It was
not true to the trend of modern edii
I cation. Kvoti Iii the largo Western
i universities, bo declared, where the
coeducational idea Is carried out in
Its fullest, the cver-lnereaslng ten?
dency Is toward segregation?toward
a greater and greater separation be?
tween tho saxes.
"It would be a sinful thing,?' he said,
"to sink hundreds of thousands of dol?
lars Into the establishment of u sep?
arate college for women with the
present condition of tho State's
finances, whsn wo have ready at hand
a priceless educational plant, a great
part of which can be devoted to tills
purpose.
"I believe that with this proposed
co-ordinate college onco realized, the
usefulness of the University of Vir?
ginia would ho Increased one' hundred?
fold. It is time to got rid of the Idea,
that.the university Is a retreat, or an
asvlum, or an.Olympus. It Is moving,
not static,' The motto of- tho univer?
sity Is not uniqueness; as innny seem
ao,think", but ssrvlce." .
. .Dr. Alderman reiterated the state?
ment made by him on a former occa?
sion., that lie. as well as Ihe faculty,
wore unalterably opposod to coeduca?
tion. With .such the ease, 'with tho

METAL SCHEDULE
BILL IS TAKEN UP

Pledges Have Been Broken j
and Farmers Abandoned. I
Dalzell Pays Compli?
ments to Wilson.
Washington. January Zf,.?The tariff
revision light opened In tile House
j to-day. when consideration of tho
j metal tariff bill was taken up, as tho
I first of the measures which the Demo?
cratic leaders will attempt to forco
j through Congress. Attacked by the
j Republican side us a departure from
I Democratic pledges, and as likely to
: be destructive to American labor and
.Industry, the bill went through live
1 hours of stormy debate, Which will bo
resumed to-morrow.
About twenty Insurgent Republican
members met to-night at the Uous->
' ofllce building and discussed tho
measure. Although no definite action
I was taken, the consensus of opinion
at the conclusion of the conference,
, was that the insurgents would align
; themselves with the Democrats In sup
I port of it.
< Replying to charges when the bill
was Introduced In the House that tho
Democrats bad '?abandoned the farm?
er" by not putting agricultural
machinery on the free list In the bill,
Chairman Underwood, of the Ways and
Means Committee, retorted that it was
not a part of tho metal schedules of
the tariff.
"Wo have put In hero ovcry Item
that relates to the metal schedule,'
said Mr. Underwood. "It has been
charged this bill will let cheap Chinese
I pig Iron In in largo quantities on the
' Pacitlc Coast. The gentleman who
makes such charges ought to know
I that the matter of freisht rates alone
is enough to keep foreign Iron and
! steel out of the Mississippi Valley and
I all of that great territory whero tho
American producer has a natural
monopoly.
Need* No Protection.
"The Iron nnd steel Industry doea
not need any protection. We have
put these, rates Just as low as wo can,
and still secure a fall- amount of
revenue for the Support of the govern?
ment. Wo are not attempting to pro?
tect the profits of the steel manu?
facturers any more than we would try
I to protect the profits of the banker,
j the baker or the grocer."
I Representative Dalzell, of Pennsyl?
vania, representing tho Republican,
I minority on the Ways and Means Coih
in.ttec, demanded ot the Democrats
i why they bad not llrut introduced the
j wool revision bill. The metal schedule,
he said, was "cut to thj bone" In the
1 Pa y n e-Aid rich law of 1908, while tne
Democrats had declared that the wool
tariff was the most unreasonable of
all In the tariff code of the country.
"Arc you afraid to encounter the
antagonism of the Peerless Leader,"
ho demanded, "or Is It not a fact that
the magnificent report of the Tariff
Board has convicted you or insin?
cerity?"
Mr. Dalzell paid Ills compliments to
another Democratic leader, Governor
Woodrow Wilson. He nuolcd an ar?
ticle of Governor Wilson, which cred?
ited the majority members of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House
with power to control the making of
all tariff bills, and the determination
of what amendments, if any, would be
permitted in consideration of the bill.
"That was written by the then presi?
dent of Princeton University," he said.
?That Is what he thought he thought
at tho time he wrote It. What h?.
thinks about it now I do not know,
since the gentleman in the meantime
I has become distinguished ait the most
expert lightning change artist who
ever by his antics contributed to the
joy of a political vaudeville."
Crowded House Listens.
A crowded house listened for two
hours to the opening speech by Repre?
sentative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, who
explained the bill on behalf of the
majority members of the Ways and
Means Committee. Mr. Palmer said the
measure would stimulate competition
by permitting a slight Increase In im?
ports of metal products, ami would
thereby somewhat loner prices. Ho
denied it w-ouhl have any effect on
wag'-a or upon established Industries
in the L'nlted Stales.
Representative Hill (Republican), of
Connecticut, declared that the placing
of typewriters, linotype machine:!, cash
registers und other patented articles
upon the free list, as proposed In the
hill, would result in the removal of
American plants to foreign soil whore
I the goods could be made cheaper, while
the patents would prevent any reduc?
tion in the selling price in the Ameri?
can market. Representative Palmer
Insisted such would not bo this out?
come.
The debate was limited to -'pooches
for the bill by Representatives Palmer;
rtartletl, of (Jeorgla. and Underwood;
and speeches against it by Representa?
tives Dalzell, Crumpackor," Indiana,

ternst In tho. controversy between
Wooclrow Wilson and Colonol Georg?
Harvey and Colonel Henry Watterson
over Mr. Wilson's aspirations for thrt
Democratic presidential nomination wai
revivified to-night, when Colonel Wat?
tersou gave out correspondence that
had passed between himself and Senator
Benjamin lt. Tillman, of South Caro?
lina, yesterday and to-day. The corre?
spondence, in which the namo ot
Thomas 1'. Ryan, of New York, figures,
follows:
"Washington, D. C. January 25, 1912.
"My Dear Sir,?Referring to the so
called 'Harvcy-Wattorson Incident," J
Und you quoted by the newspapers
this morning to the following effect:
T had given Henry Watterson credit
for more sense than to try to fol3t olt
ii story like this with the material
fuels concealed.' The man who makes
a public statement with 'the material
facts concealed' Is little other than t?
scoundrel. 1 have the right, therefore,
to demand of you upon what warranti
or authority you make this serious ac?
cusation against rnc. and to ask a rcrt
ply through my friend, the Honorable
Swngar Slterley, of Kentucky.
"With great respect.

"My Dear Sir.? In your note of Jan?
uary S5tli, handed me by the Hon. Swu

an interview which I hud given out in
reference to the Harvey-Wutterson
Wllson incident. In which I say 'I had
I given Henry Watterson credit for morn

"You demand to know, 'upon what
war rent of authority you make Ibid
serious accusation against me.'
"In your statement to the press you
described In detail the rupture be?
tween Governor Wilson and Colonel
Harvey, but said nuthlng as to what
caused it- .Ml the lending papers of
the- country seem to know why Gov?
ernor Wilson severed relations with
Colonel Harvey and you as a leading
newspaper man and self-confessed ex?
pert groomor of presidential eaitT
dldulcs must have known it at lite
lime your statement wits published. 1
very properly concluded that you
knew tin: reasons for the rupture, and
when you made public the manner in
which It occurred without giving tba
causes you were unquestionably con?
cealing the material facts.

j "I have never pretended to be *
' groomer of presidential candidates, ex?
pert or otherwise, but I desire >'uui
good opinion and wrote with that, us
I well as the truth of this matter, ia
mind.
"I am with you, Senator, In wishing
a Democrat und not a pscudo Repub?
lican for our presidential nominee. It,
wus no less from a sense of party
duty than of Justice as between mun
and man that 1 made the statement tu
I which?upon a lotul misapprehension
t of the fuels?you take excoptlon.
"I have been awuro for nearly: a
week that recognized spokesmen for
^Governor Wilson were tndustrtously
circulating the story that the rea^
reason why Governor Wilson broke
with Colonel Harvey wns that Colonel
Harvey had tried to bring Mr. Thonuia
F. Ryan into the Covcrnor's campaign.
But, until you gave crodonee to the
slorv, It could not be Invested with
any" responsible authority. Its origin
was mysterious, its circulation sur?
reptitious. Consequently Ihero has
been up i" this time nothing cither
to deny or recognize.
"Now, Senator, I know, of my own
knowledge, that that story Is a llo
made out of whole cloth. If any per?
son ventures to question this asser?
tion I !ih\c in my possession proof
conclusive which I hold myself ready
to place before your honest und truth
seeklng mind:
I Joes .Not Aeeuse WlUnu.
??( not accuse Governor Wilson
of Originating or circulating this Inj
v.union manufactured tu make a hero
of him at the expense of the friend
who has most effectually served lilm.
I do ion assume, that he Is a wars
of the dastardly work being done by
Iiis alleged agents, hut the fact remain*
that Governor Wilson knows as wa?l
us I do that tho story Is false. He
i-, iy or may not. feel that he owes
any obligation to Colonel Harvey. That
i-: ;i matlor of which he must be tho
fudge. But I do Insist that ho owea
u to bis own honor to repudiate that,
storv and to disavow those who are
striving to Inject the calumny Into
the public mind.
" Vt Governor Wilson s instance I had.
undertaken to assist his accredited
managers' in raialnc tho considerably
sums of money needful to tho proseou
tlon of his campaign, and In this my
efforts were not wholly unfruitful. Aft
