Delegate of
Party Women
Continued from pur? 1
m ' ' ' '
bitfcerto been mentioned, received prac?
tically all the upstate anti-Tammany
strength when it was Been that there
arts a determination on the part of the
powers that, he to put Miss Marbury
?cross- Miss Colbert organized the
local Women's Democratic League and
was a candidate for Assembly last fall,
being beaten by a narrow margin.
The machine was working well and
jt ran as smoothly and with as much
precision as in the old days. A small
faction which tried to promote the
candidacy of Herbert Hoover for Presi?
dent soon found this out.
And several other minorities soon
found out that it did not pay to oppose
the machine. So many small groups
learned this that toward evening the
convention almost broke up in a row
when several of the delegates openly
eharged Mrs. Crosby with using the
steam-roller.
So great was the turmoil which fol?
lowed that Mrs. Crosby, who presided,
threatened to appoint a sergeant-at
arms to remove the disturbers if order
was not restored.
The trouble started over the refusal
of Mrs. Crosby to permit the reading
of several resolutions offered by dele?
gates. These apparently were not to
the liking of Mrs. Crosby, and when
Miss Margaret Vale, of New York City,
founder of the Women Democrats of
America, demanded that her resolution
indorsing Governor Smith and calling
for a national referendum on prohibi?
tion be read, Mrs. Crosby said:
"It is too late."
"Steam Roller" Cry Raised
Instantly there were cries of "steam
roller."
Miss Vale, a tall, dark-eyed, hand
gome woman in a flowing black gown,
cried out :
"There should be no stifling of opin?
ion. People should be allowed a voice
in political assemblies."
From another corner a delegate arose
and said she also had submitted a res?
olution which she demanded should be
read and acted upon.
Again Mrs. Crosby ruled that no res?
olution^ not already acted upon would
be considered. There were cries of pro?
test from all parts of the room.
Mrs. Crosby persisted in her refusal
and when the protests continued she
announced:
"If order is not restored I shall ap?
point a sergeant-at-arms."
Order, or a semblance of it, was re-?
gtored, and the chairman called for
nominations for candidates as mem?
bers of the big four. She said that
only six nominations were so made.
They were:
Mrs. Crosby and Miss Clarice M. Ba
right, of Xcw York; Miss Colbert, of
Albany: Miss Harriet May Mills, of
Syracuse; Miss Louise Tucker, of White
Plains, and Miss Marburv, of New
Yoik
Seven More Names Submitted
After the nominations were closed
seven'names of candidates were read,
the seventh being that of Mrs. Mary
Mo:Be, of Buffalo.
Another action of the machine in
charge of the convention which called
forth another charge of sharp prac?
tice was the insistence of Mrs. Crosby
in entertaining the nomination of Miss
Mills, although the latter announced
publicly that she would not be a can?
didate and her representative so de?
clared on the floor.
The convention was then adjourned
to permit the counting of the ballots.
The meeting began formally at 3
o'clock after a luncheon in honor of
Mrs. Crosby and Mrs. Alfred E. Smith,
the wife or the Governor. There had
been an executive committee meeting
behind closed doors, where an attempt
was made to arrange tho differences
among the various groups who were
supporting the various candidates for
election to the "big four."
The Tammany organization women
were for Miss Marbury. . The anti
Tammany women, led by Miss Vale,
charged that Miss Marbury had been
an anti-suffragist, a charge later d??
ni?e: in a telegram to the convention
by Miss Marbury, who was in New
York.
Miss Marbury Answers Miss Vale
Miss Marbury in her telegram, which
was read to the convention, said that
Miss Vale's remarks as printed in The
Tribune to-day were not in accord with
the facts.
"I want, to reply to that," said Miss
Vale.
Mrs. Crosby ruled her out of order.
Turning to the press table Miss Vale
said:
"All I said in The Tribun? I stand
by. I do not retract a word. Miss Mar?
bury openly ridiculed suffrage and used
her influence against it."
At the luncheon the first slap at.
Herbert Hoover was delivered by Mrs.
Cicsby in answering1 the declaration
Made by Mrs. John Gavitt, of this city,
who sa;d that if the Democratic women
*anted Hoover they must work for
him.
"Mr. Hoover," said Mrs. Crosby, "has
Hooverized everything but the Demo?
cratic party, and we don't want him to
Hooverize that."
This was greeted with laughter and
applause.
Hoover Rapped in Convention
Later, in the convention, when she
sroke of the task which would be be?
fore the New York delegation at San
Francisco, Mrs. Crosby took another
lap at Hoover, saying:
"We're going to nominate the best
man we can finel for President, and we
don't have to go outside the Demo?
cratic party to find him."
The resolutions adopted by the con?
vention indorsed President Wilson's
administration and directed the secre?
tary to draft a letter to the President
spplauding his national and interna?
tional policies and urging him to use
h.is jfood offices for an early settlement
of the peace treaty. The resolutions
cordemned "the wilful men in the
United States Senate who oppose the
treaty," indorsed Governor Smith's ad?
ministration and urged his renomina?
tion for Governor. Tho resolutions
also called for ecjual representation of
?omen in all political organizations in
tiie party. They condemned Senator
Wadsworth for his opposition to wom?
an suffrage and social welfare legisla?
tion.
Shortly after the resolutions were

of the women that only such as.were

a testimonial meeting for the leader of
| Tammany Hall.
Express Admiration for Murphy
| It started when Miss Matthews, the
i ?tssociate leader of the 19th Assembly
District of New York City, said:
"We women of New York City go to
' church as regularly and keep the Ten
Commandments as well as the upstate
women."
This was received with applause only
slightly less in volume than was ac?
corded Mrs. Robert A. Nicol, of Elmira.
chairman of the woman's division of
the Chemung County Democratic Com?
mittee, when she proclaimed in ring?
ing tones:
"I'm a Tammany woman upstate."
Which caused Mrs. Morse, of Buf
? falo, to exclaim:
"We all love Mr. Murphy upstate."
I To which Mrs. Crosby added:
"We in New York City love Mr.
Murphy because of his goodnes3."
The Tammany delegation cheered.
The convention unanimously adopted
a rule providing that the yearly dues
of the committee of 1,000, made up en?
tirely of women, should be $1. Then
Mrs. Crosby asked that this be made
a committee of 150,000, "as it would
require that many dollars to organize
the Democratic women of the state."
It was the sense of the convention that
this should be done.
Many Districts Unorganized
Mrs. Morse, chairman of a sub-com?
mittee of the committee of 1,000, said
that there were many communities In
the state where there was not a woman
Democratic voter.
"This does not mean that there are
1 not Democratic women in these com?
munities," said Mrs. Morse, "but that
the men Democrats have not been zeal?
ous in having their women folks vote.
This must be remedied, as the Republi?
can women are well organized every?
where."
Mrs. Morse said that the committee
of 1,000, or the committee of 150,000,
would visit every hamlet before next
September, so that there would be a
militant organization of Democratic
women in each community.
Defends Ohio Referendum
Brief Filed in Appeals on Pro?
hibition and ?Suffrage
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.?-Validity of
the referendum amendment to the Ohio
constitution was defended in a brief
filed to-day in the Supreme Court by i
Attorney General Trice of that state
in connection with appeals from state ;
court decrees refusing to enjoin the
referendum submission of the Federal
prohibition and woman suffrage amend?
ments.
"The Constitution of the United '
states have power to abolish their |
shall have any particular form of leg?
islature," said the brief in arguing for,
the referendum. "The people of the
states have power to abolihs their ;
general assemblies and take into their
own hands all matters of legislation.
Such authority as the legislatures have
to ratify amendments to the Federal
Constitution is not mandatory but per?
missive.''

Ripe Olive Peril Removed by
Change in Preservinsr Method
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. -Ripe olives,
which have caused many deaths recent?
ly from poisoning, may be eater, with
impunity within a few months as a
result of changes being made in pre?
serving methods, Dr. Carl Alsberg,
chief of the bureau of chemistry of
the Department of Agriculture, stated
to-day. '
One of the principal packing changes,
Dr. Alsjaerg s-iid, is abandoning gias?>
containers, which prevent proper steri?
lization. All cases of ripe olive poison?
ing have originated from olives packed
in glass, headed, and nono have re?
sulted from olives packed in tin cans
or from pickled green olives."

Head of British Chamber Dis?
cusses American Ship?
ping Growth
LONDON, Feb. 25.?In the course of
an address to the British Chamber of
Shipping to-day, W. J. Noble, president
of the chamber, alluding to American
shipping competition, said it was a
mistake to underestimate the growing
strength of the American mercantile
marine. The shipbuilding potentiali?
ties of the United States, said Mr.
Noble, justified Americans in hoping
that they might ultimately occupy a
supreme position in shipping. They
already had accumulated a fleet of
more than 9,000,000 tons, he said.
The speaker added that the rise of
the American mercantile fleet was one
of the world's facts of the war, and it
was changing all the old trade rela?
tions. Great Britain was prepared to
meet any fair competition, but he
thought no one could regard the pres?
ent policy of the United States Ship?
ping Board or of the British dominion
as fair competition.
Hoover Won't Run
In Georgia; Lansing
Petition Is Filed
"No Real Public Service
Would Be Performed by
Injecting Myself Into
Race," Food Chief Says
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ATLANTA, Feb. 25. ? Herbert C.
Hoover said in a message to-day to
Secretary Hiram Gardner, of the
Georgia Democratic executive commit?
tee, that he did not intend to file his
name in the State Democratic Presi?
dential primary. Mr. Hoover had been
asked if he desired to qualify as a
Democratic candidate.
Announcement, was made that a peti?
tion carrying more than the necessary
number of names support Robert Lan?
sing for the Presidential nomination
had been filed. Mr. Lansing's name, was
? accordingly placed on the list.
Commenting upon Mr. Hoover's re
: fusal, Chairman B. J. Flint said that
| the answer was what he expected. lie
i said that, under the circumstances Mr.
j Hoover could not be considered a Dem?
ocratic candidate.
Mr. Hoover's reply follows:
"I feel confident that it is not neces
I sary to dwell at length upon my grati
, tude to you for the honor implied in
j your letter of February 22.
"I especially appreciate it, since 1
| was not. identified with the Democratic
| party before the war, and my official
1 connection with the government has
been solely a war service and conse?
quently not of a partisan character.
"1 have not been able to persuade
myself that any real public service will
be performed by injecting myself into
the race for the nomination to the
greatest honor at the disposal of the
I American people.
"Therefore, aside from any other rea?
son, I do not intend to file my name."

Staten Island Judicial
Bill Denounced by Black
Burlingame Measure Character?
ized as a Politieal Gerryman?
der of the Worst Type
From a Staff Correspondent
ALBANY, Feb. 25.?The Burlingame
bill to cut off Staten Island from the
2d Judicial District and add it to the
1st Judicial District, which now em?
braces Manhattan and the Bronx, was
characterized as a political gerryman?
der of the most vicious type by Senator
Loring N. Black, of Brooklyn.
Black, who is a Democrat, charged
that the immediate reason behind the
hill was to eliminate Supreme Court
Justice Lester W, Clark, of Tompkins
ville, whose term expires on December
31, from consideration for reelection
next fall, and he also said that Senator
Alvah H. Burlingame, a Republican, the
introducer of the bill, was a candidate
for the Su ?ire me Court.
"The Bar Association of Richmond
County, which is most vitally con?
cerned, has asked for a hearing on this
bill from Senator Burlingame, and he
?has not granted it," said Senator
Black. "The Senator ought to grant this
? request. I don't think he should be a
! cave man. Heretofore a gerrymander
| has not, inflicted its politieal savagery
on the Supreme (jour;."
On Mr. Burlingame's motion, the bill
I was laid aside temporarily. If it be
I came a law it would add the 4.000
I Democratic majority of Staten Island
I to Manhattan and the Bronx in all
i elections to the Supreme Court bench,.
1 Manhattan and the Bronx are nor
1 mally Democratic. The Tammany
members of the Senate are said to be
! for the bill.

to fifteen months were imposed here

! cinnati, and Lotta Burke, woman So?
cialist, were each sentenced- to fifteen
; months' imprisonment in the Federal

TO ORDER OR FOR IMMEDIATE SERVICE
Wood Files Petition
In Ohio as Primary
Rival of Harding
General to Seek Preferential
Choice as Well as State's
Quota of 48 Delegates
to Chicago Convention
COLUMRUS, Ohio, Feb. 25.-Ohio, a
pivotal state in Presidential elections,
and which promises to be one of the
chief battleground next Novembtr, is
to be also one of the chief storm
centers in the selection of delegates
to the Republican National Convention.
This was mnde certain to-day when
Major General Leonard Wood formally
entered tho state to contest with
United States Senator Warren G.
Harding the preferential choice of
Ohio's voters for President, and also
| for the state's forty-eight delegates
! to the Chicago convention. The Ohio
? primary will be held April 27.
General Wood's declaration of can
i didacy was filed late to-day with the
Secretary of State by John II. Price,
his Ohio campaign manager.
Simultaneous with the filing of
Wood's petition, James R. Garfield, of
! Cleveland, ?Secretary of the Interior
i under Roosevelt, also filed as a candi?
date for President. His .candidacy,
however, it was explained at General
j Wood's headquarters, is solely for the
: purpose of giving Wood candidates for
i delegate a second choice preference, as
| required by the Ohio primary law.
Inasmuch, however, as his tiling as a
j Presidential candidate will place his
name on the preferential primary bal
| lot along with the names of Senator
1 Harding and General Wood, the gen
j eral's managers arc trying to figure
I out some way in which his name may
j be kept off the preferential ballot.
Senator Harding's headquarters has
! not announced a full list of Harding
delegates, and it is expected that no
'. such announcement will be made prior
to their tiling nominating petitions. A
number of Harding delegates already
have filed petitions. Candidates for
delegate must have their nominating
petitions on tile by Friday midnight.
Harding Sees New Era
For Capital and Labor
\Larpcr Wage Will Abide, He
Says, but U ill Be Backward
Step Without Added Efficiency
PROVIDENCE, Feb. 25.?The time
has come for the government to relin?
quish control of industry, United
States Senator Harding, of Ohio, de?
clared in an address at the annual
dinner of the Providence Chamber of
Commerce to-night.
"We shackled, regulated, restrained,
reproved and advised during the war,
< and it was accepted as a war neces
, sity, but now wc are at peace?actual
I peace, if not formal peace?and it is
time to unshackle," he said. "We need
vastly moro freedom than we do reg?
ulation, and we need the restored free?
dom of business and men.
"There will be no return to pre-war
conditions in industry en- commerce.
Capita] and workmen are facing a new
order. The large wage will abide - it
has been the legacy of war since our
Republic began. Without the added
efficiency, it will prove a backward
step.
"1 believe in the collective bargain?
ing or workmen so long as it. does not
deny any American the fullness of his
i freedom. But the bargain must be
j binding on all parties to tho contract."
Production is the call of the world
j to-day, Senator Harding said.

Johnson Manager Claims
Even Chance in Michigan
Representative Cramton, Back
From West, Issues Statement
on CaliforaianV Campaign
From The Tribune's Wctihtnyton f?urenu
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.?Representa?
tive Louis C. Cramton, who is in
charge of the Johnson Presidential
campaign in Michigan, to-day gave out
the following statement upon his re?
turn from that state:
"The contest for indorsement of
! Michigan Republicans in the state
I wide primary, April 5, is rapidly chang?
ing the indications as to the final rei
sults. For a long period the candi?
dacy of General. Wood was practically
unchallenged. For some time the
Lowden people have been making a
vigorous and well-financed" campaign
and have maele heavy inroads upon the
Wooel strength among the politicians,
so that to-day Lowden seems to be
! practically on a basis of equality with
Wooel.
"It is only very recently that any
effort has been made to organize the
Johnson sentiment in the state. Head?
quarters have been open in Detroit
about two weeks, but already Johnson
is conceded by keen observers to have
at least an even chance of gaining the
primary indorsement.
"The Johnson campaign is rapidly
gaining strength among the voters and
we confidently expect to see Michi?
gan's indorsement go for Johnson."

Soviets Ridicule Reports
Of Cruelty, Writer Says
Russian Peasants and Soldiers
Amused Over Stories
Told Ahroad
AMSTERDAM. Feb. 26.?The Soviet
i peasants and soldiers were greatly in
j terested and amused over the stories
told abroad of their cruelty, says the
?staff correspondent of the "Handels
blael," G. Nypels, in continuing his de?
scription of conelitions in Soviet Russia,
from which he has just returned.
' While not going into the truth of the'
1 various tales of cruelty which have

I ridicule all o.f .?hese reports which have
! been spread abroad.
In the course of a trip aboard a
. Bolshevik armored train from near the
i Po ish front to Orsha with Bolshevik
officers the correspondent was asked
j many questions regarding the reports
! about them.
"We were drinking ersatz (imitation)
j tea, sitting around a nice little table,"
the correspondent said, "and I had to
: tell the Bo sheviki what, people abroad
; thought of the "red" army.
j "They asked if it was true that
mothers frightened their children with
; the name 'Bolshevik.'
"At my frank answer that this was

Wood's Manager
Now Certain Hays
Did Not Interfere
Gould Exonerates Chairman
of Advising Un instructed
Idaho Delegation; Candi?
date's Aids Soon to Meet
Representative Norman J. Gould,
Eastern campaign manager for Gen?
eral Leonard Wood, whose statement
| concerning the reported interference
\ on the part' of National Chairman Will
; II. Hays in behalf of uninstructed dele?
gates in Idaho, caused a stir in Re?
publican circles, after a talk yesterday
with Chairman Hays made the follow
ing statement:
"I am sure that Chairman Hays did
j not make the statement attributed to
! him relative to uninstructed delegates
to the national convention."
Mr. Hays would not comment on the
incident. He is just back from the
Columbus rally, which he says was one
of the greatest ever held in Ohio. Sen?
ator Harding and Mr. Hays were the
speakers. The Republicans of Ohio,
while taking sides in the primary pre?
liminaries for the Presidential candi?
dates, arc enthusiastic for Republican
i success.
First, Conference Next Week
To satisfy the candidates that the
; National Committee is not interesting
i itself in behalf of any one man, Chair?
man Hays will carry out his plan sug?
gested at the meeting of the National
I Committee in Washington in January
for all of the candidates who care to
do so to have a representative confer
with him at general meetings at regu?
lar intervals, talk over the affairs o?
the party in the states, and ask and
answer questions concerning the prog?
ress of the campaign. The first of
these conferences will take place next
week. Mr. Hays, after his election
two years ago, stated that it would
be his sole aim to elect and not select
candidates, and his friends in the Na?
tional Committee say that he has ad?
hered to that principle.
One of the puzzling features of the
campaign to the Wood managers i?
that the War Department, apparently
is trying to make General Wood'?
labors as light as possible, and he u
left free to attend to speaking engage?
ments. General Wood never has asked
anything out of the ordinary of the de?
partment.
Newark Wood Club Growing
An officer of the Leonard Wood Clul
of Newark called on Mr. Gould an;
Colonel Thomas W. Miller at the Im

ago, by a dozen admirers of the gen?
eral, now has a membership of mon
than 3,000, all of whom are working
hard to spread Wood sentiment in thi
northern part of New Jersey.
General Wood telegraphed from Chi
cago to his New York headquarter.1
canceling some engagements here next
week. He is scheduled to speak ii
Buffalo on March 4, and then will go tc

Palmer Says He
Is Not Candidate
For Presidency
Campaign to Reduce Living
Cost Has Prevented Addi?
tional Price Increases,
He Assures Kentuckians
Sp?cial Dispatch to The Tribune
LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 25? Attorney
I General A. Mitchell Palmer said here
to-night that he 13 not a candidate for
President. He was in Lexington, on his
i way to Washington from Frankfort,
where this afternoon he addressed a
! joint session of the Kentucky Legis
1 lature, and was entertained by Gov
j ernor Edwin P. Morrow and state of
! ficials, all Republicans. Continuing,
? Mr. Palmer said :
"I have not announced my candidacy
, for any office nor have I done anything
in furtherance of any candidate."
Mr. Palmer said to-night, when asked
: what actual results had been accom?
plished looking toward reduction in the
'; high cost of Jiving:
"Prices have not materially in?
creased since last summer. There have
been increases in some commodities.
This winter the percentage of increase
over last summer is less than for any
year in the past nine years. This
i is chiefly attributable to the cam?
paign against the high cost of living
conducted by the Department of Jus?
tice, with the assistance of state fair
price commissions. More than 1,000
persons have been prosecuted for prof?
iteering and enormous stores of food?
stuffs have been released. Agreements
as to rates of profit on clothing have
! been made with manufacturers.
"The fundamental causes of high
prices are economic and world wide.
What we have been able to do has had
' a considerab'e effect in holding prices
: down. One important phase of the
campaign has been restoration of com?
petitive conditions in dealing with
necessities of life.
'?On Tuesday a compelled consent
1 decree will be filed preventing the five
1 great Chicago packing companies from
carrying on any except a meat busi?
ness."
In reference to the so-called ''whis?
ky rebellion" in Michigan, Mr. Palmer
said it had come up since he left Wa-h
\ ington, and that" he had sent the De
! partment of Justice a telegram author
