A,l GOOD RECODS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MADE Clear Skies and Fast Track Were in Prospect for Opening of Penn sylvania Carnival Philadelphia, April 30. Clear skies and a fast track were in prospect to day for the opening of the annual two day relay carnival of the University of Pennsylvania on Franklin field. Penn sylvania officials predicted a number of new records as the pick of Ameri can college and school athletes, in ad dition to the star from Oxford and Cambridge universities of England, who were entered in the various events. Seventeen events were on the pro pram to-day, but the features were the American college championship sprint medley and distance medley relay races, the 440-yard low hurdles, the in ternational intercollegiate three-mile run and the American intersnliolastie medley relay championship. Oxford and Cambridge had entrants in three of these events, the hurdle race, the three-mile run and the distance med ley, and in all of them the British run ners faced America's best. Captain B. G..D. Rudd of Oxford, was the Eng lish representative in the hurdles. His opponent included Thompson of Dart mouth, Adams, i'rinccton. KUby of Redlands university, California, and Watt of Cornell, all of whom have cov ered the quarter in close to 30 sec onds. In the three-mile run, A. K. Mon tague, said to be one of the greatest distance runners developed in England in years, was the British entrant. American entrants included Bond and Campbell, Cornell: McMahan, Massa chusetts Terh: Vightingale of New Hampshire, and Hisler, Dexel .Institute, Philadelphia. The Ox ford Cambridge team in the distance medley met the best quartets available at more than a dozen east. rn and middle western universities. They included Pennsylvania, Harvard, Chiiwgn, Wisconsin, 'Yale, Princeton, Iowa State, Pennsylvania State and Cornell. It was. the first time the British athletes ever run with the Tail on their left and Captain Rudd expressed the opinion that this would increase their speed by at least one second ach half mile. Among the other events on to-day's program were the penthalon individual championship, and a number of gram mar and high school championships. Where the Sub Comes.

J., Have Been Operating at Full Capacity Passaic, X; J., April 30.

The plants had been operating at full capacity since before the war.- The Amalgamated Association of Textile Workers has adopted a new schedule, calling for a 50 per cent in crease in wages and a 44-hour week, but the demands have not yet been presented to the mill owners. RESPONSIBILITY ON CONGRESS. And Not on President in Sugar Matter Says Atty.-Gen. Palmer. Washington, April 30.

"WORK TO THE RULES" POLICY Decision of Railway Men in Great Britain Will Result in Stoppage of Work May 1st. Loudon, April 30.-A labor develop ment which may result in a more gen eral stoppage of work throughout the I'nited Kingdom on May day than had been considered likely, manifested it self yesterday in an announcement that the Lomlnn council of railwavmen had decided that beginning Saturday, its members would work on a strict work to the rules policy, Such a policy, it is declared by onion leaders, would lead to serious railway conges tion and even nation-wide stoppage of tralno if the movement should be come general. The smooth running of the railways, it is maintained, depends upon the in itiative and resource of tho workers, which involves breach of Home instruc tions in meeting contingencies which cannot be contemplated in the fram ing of any set of rules.

"She was the kind ithat kept her door chained. She didn't stay in the bhxk but about a mivnth. either. Mo-t of my people were so friendly to the unit that when I went to ny houe and they saw who i: wa, they opened the door wide. 'Oh, it's only Mrs. . Come right in,' they'd stjiy. just as if 1 was the man to read the meter. We block workers take a pride in never telling what we find out. We don't even tell our husbands, an. I if they happen Ito bear something they are usually the firt to caution u to be careful! Oh. I tell you it's some thing to be a block worker. It would be hard to give it up. Von can help at least a little and you make such good friends."

NATIONAL LABOR PARTY CONVENTION Will Meet in Chicago July 11-13 to Nominate Candidate for Presi dent and Vice-President and Draft Platform Chicago, April 30. The National La bor party convention will . be held in Chicago July II, 12 and 13, to nomi nate candidates for president and vice president and draft a platform, it was announced to-day by Krank J. Lsper, national secretary. Every labor and farm organization in the country will be invited to send one delegate "for each 500 members. hsper predicted that live thousand aei elates would attend. The declaration ol principles aoopteo when the party was formed In the November convention announced that "the labor party was organized to as semble into a new majority the men and women who work but who have been scattered as helpless minorities in the old parties under the leader ship of the 'confidence men' of big business." The decoration included 32 planks, a majority of which, according to I'sner, will be' repeated in the political plat form to be adopted here next July. Anions the planks are: Nationalization of all essential in dustries. Nationalization of unused lands. A league of workers to "destroy autocracy, militarism and economic imperialixm, and bring about world wide disarmament." Repeal of the espionage law. Kqual suffrage and equal pay for men and women in industry. Abolition of the injunction power of judges in labor disputes. Kndoraement of the Plumb plan for tri partite railroad control. Steeply graduated income and inher itance taxes. A national budget system. Limitation of the power of the su preme court to "veto" legislation. Abolition of the I'nited States Sen ate. Prohibition Empties the Jails. The Easthampton News reports a great shortage f prisoners for the county jail in Northampton. This is a shortage which everywhere appears. The facts reported are that there are now but 12 prisoners in the Hampshire county jail. Poubtless the Kranklin count v jail at Greenfield has even few er, the Springfield jail could easily take care of the prisoners of the three river counties. It would be a matter of economy to merge the three houses of correction, even if not to merge the three county governments. As to the Hampshire county jail, The Newa says that as many aa 30 or 3'. have been confined there at thia time in some past Years. During the last six months of 1!1H the district court sent 371 to the countv jail. Hut during the last six months of 101f. the first prohibi tion period, only "! cases were com mitted to that institution. That is, under prohibition, one person was sen tenced to jail as acsinst four and two thirds under the license regime. That is one great reason for the shortage of prisoners, though not the only one.

WILSON'S. DEBT TO SULLIVAN How the Illinois Boss Helped to Nom inate tho President at Baltimore 'A Scnatorship Lost Because of Bryan. It was Roger C. Snllivan who, more than any other of the party leaders present, was responsible for the nom ination of Woodrow Wilson at the Bal timore convention in 1912. But it was not until President Wilson seat hi condolences to Chicago this week that the president through no fault of his own was ever able to make public acknowledgment of his personal sense ot gratitude to the Illinois leader. All those who follow politics will re call that Roger Sullivan led the Illinois delegation r8 strong in that conven-1 tion; that the mutations of politics in I Illinois had resulted in the instruction of that delegation for Champ Clark, and that the Illinois votes were cast for Mr. Clark through 43 ballots. ' It was obvious that Clark, who had led alt candidates for the first 30 ballots, could not win the nomination. I'nder the two-thirds rule New York, Minne sota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, (Jeorgia, Mississippi and a number of smaller states were hold inir off; and a deadlock had been es tablished from which ('lark could de rive no benefit. The Brvan influenee generally in the convention was also opposing his nomination. bullivan hail seen Uoodrow Wilson for the first time at the Jackson day dinner in Washington, in January, 1012. He came away from that din ner impressed by the New. Jersey gov ernor, and did not hesitate to say so to his close personal friends. The most powerful influence upon him, however. was that of his son, Boetius, and his wife, both of whom favored Mr. Wil son. Finding his own judgment in the emergency directing him toward the WiUon camp, swayed by intense hu manistic influence which he never tried to resist when they were reasonable and right, Sullivan, on the 2.3d ballot, cast the Illinois vote for Wilson. That act was an overture to the supporters of Harmon, I'nderwood. Marshall, Baldwin, Urran, Foss and Kern, and it was accepted on the 2th ballot, when Wilson was finally nominated through the influence of Sullivan, then In com mand of the Wilson forces on the floor. Bv reason of this achievement and bv reason of the fact that Illinois went. for Wilson in in 12. Sullivan was lit erally forced into the open in that state as the liemocratic nominee tor Cnited States senator. It was as sumed that he would have the unquali fied indorsement and support of Pres ident Wilson and his entire adminis- r n , i . . 'IV... . .f .-....,:... ltv.llw nd gratitude among politicians of-i I fered no alternative. Sullivan was duly nominated by the Democrats for senator. But he received no public aupport from the president, and was defeated at the election. Thereby hangs a long atory: In lMn Mr. Sullivan had been a "gold"' Democrat an apt illustration his devotion to principles he believed to be right. Nevertheless, -he loyally supported William J. Brvan in the campaign of 1000: was reaindly de nounced by Hryan in the convention of 11MI4 as a "train robber because he had dominated the Illinois state con vention of that year against the Bryan wing, and again supported Mr. Bryan in l!HM. Bryan never forgets in pol iticsyou are either for him or you are against him, and, being of an in tensely suspicious nature, if you are ever against him, he is always against you, politically. (ne of the first arts of rresident Wilson was to appoint Bryan secre tary of state. It has always pleased Bryan and his followers to believe that they nominated Wilson at Baltimore. They did in a negative sense, in that I'ryan prevented the nomination of anybody else but it was Sullivan Who mustered the votes to nominate Wil son, else Bryn might have emerged as the wominee. One practical fact, how ever, confronted Mr. Wilson, and that vs thst Bryan, as the leader of the ; s-ty over a'period of 16 years .,f vf l.roken defeat, did have control of such ,1 numlvr of IVmorratir members of v'oigie that the president had to ' v.r his help at tne outset of his ad- ..n'strat ion in order to get through legislation he was pledged by his .Uniform to enact.
