England Seeking to 1 ,
Keep Ford Ship as:
Far Off as Possible
LONDON, Deo. 15. Tho steamer Oscar
n. which has on board Henry Ford and
his peace . advocates, has not yet been
reported. It is learned in official circles,
however, that It Is hardly likely that the
steamer, which Is destined for Christianla
will be taken Into Kirkwall. It Is be
lieved that the Oscar II has no cargo
aboard and following the policy outlined
recently by lord Robert Cecil, under,
secretary for foreign affairs. In the House
of Commons, that the government will
hardly take any eUpa which will bring
the nasaeturera an nearer the English
coast than la necessary. 1 '
The government views the enterprise of
Mr. Ford with an Indifference which ad
mits neither of recognition nor Interfer
ence, a policy which official circles be
lieve can be followed with the greatest
advantage by keeping the Ford party
from English shores.
The International committee of women
for permanent peace, through the presi
dent of the Swedish section, has Issued
an official communication that neither

BY REPUBLICANS
Party Men Gathered at Washing-ton
Feel that Every Sign Indi
cates Success.
EARLY DATE MEETS WITH FAVOR
(from a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Deo. 16. (Spe
cial Telegram.) At Chicago on or
about June 7, 1916, the next presi
dent of the United States will be
nominated. That Is the consensus of
opinion last night among hundreds
of republicans here assembled from
all parts of the nation In attendance
upon the meeting of the national re
publican committee.
Monday it looked as if St. Louis
had a show for the republican con
vention, but between midnight and
the hour of convening of the national
commltte, Chicago was easily selected
as the winner. It was thought It
would take two ballots to decide, but
so cleverly had the work been done
that when the vote was taken Chi
cago won on the first ballot, leaving
a lot of Chicago friends out on the
limbs, but that's politics.
In selecting June 7, a week before the
democrats meet in St. Louis, astute poll
tics was played. Only once since Lin
coln's time have the democrats preceded
tho republicans In a national convention
and that was in the first Cleveland ad
ministration. Even though It might Inter
fere with presidential primaries In South
Dakota and West Virginia, It was the
almost unanimous opinion of the national
Committeemen that the republican con
vention shonld be held before the demo
cratic convention and upon that proposi
tion the committee proceeded.
Provides for Sooth Dakota.
Ex-Oongressman Burke of South
Dakota, national committeeman from that
state realizing that the primaries In his
following resolution which was unani
mously adopted:
"Whereas, delegates to the national
convention In the states of South Dakota
and West Virginia, under the laws of
state would be held on June s, offered the
these states, will be elected on June 8
In the year 191s, and,
"Whereas there may not be time to
provide certificates of election to dele
gates elected as provided by the law of
said states! therefore be it
"Resolved, That the delegates in the
states of . South Dakota and West Vir
ginia, respectively, shall be entitled to
have their names placed upon the tem
porary roll call of the convention by
filing with the secretary of this com
mittee a certificate from the chairman of
the republican state committee; In the
case of South Dakota and In the case
of West Vlrvlnla, from either the secre
tary of state or the chairman of the
republican state committee, provided no
notice of contest be filed."
In Interest of Havrsaomy
"The resolution is one In the Interest
of harmony," said Mr. Burke In explana
tion. ."Nobody wants two primaries In our
state, and I believe a, gentleman's agree
ment as to the delegates to be selected
will preclude the necessity of two pri
maries. A primary In our state costs
$100,000, and I feel sure no one in South
Dakota wants to saddle such a charge
upon the state.
"If the factions of the republican party
can agree 'upon the delegates It will be
clear sledding and we will be in Chicago
to help make the' next president. If dis
sension ensues,' jthen the responsibility
must rest where it belongs."
Ia Honor of Thorson
The following resolution was adopted
by the national committee tn relation to
the death of Thomas Thorson, late a
member from South Dakota!
"Resolved, that we have learned with
deep regret of the death of Hon. Thomaa
Thorson, for many years aa honored
member of this committee, which oc
curred at his home In Canton, 8. D. on
August SO, 191S.
"Resolved, that w express our pro
found sorrow and extend our sincere
sympathy to his widow and surviving
relatives; be It further
"Resolved, that these resolution be
extended upon the permanent minutes
of the committee, and that the secretary
be directed to communicate a copy to
Mrs. Thorson."
Howen for Cnleasjo
Committeeman R. B. Howell of Ne
braska voted for Chicago on the only
ballot taken, as did Charles H. Burke of
South Dakota and John T. Adams of
Iowa, national committeemen from
those states. Mr. Howell will return to
Omaha tomorrow.

HAISELDEN GUILTY
OF 'UNETHICAL' ATC
Council of Chicago Medical Society
Votes Physician of Bollinger
Baby Fame Be Expelled.
HE WROTE ABOUT THE CASE
CHICAGO, Dec 16 The council
of the Chicago Medical society, In a
finding made public tonight, recom
mended to the society that Dr. H. J.
Haiselden of Bollinger baby fame be
expelled from the society.
The Bollinger baby was born, in
the opinion of Dr. Haiselden, with
every prospect, If the life In It per
sisted, of developing Into a hopeless
Invalid and imbecile.
An operation might have saved Its
life, but the parents agreed with the
surgeon that It should not be per
formed and the Infant was allowed
to die. This, however, was not the
charge brought against the doctor.
A series of articles' under his name,
dealing with this case and the subject
of eugenics generally, appeared after
the demise of the baby, and for these
he was charged with unethical con
duct and found guilty.
The sessions of the council were
executive, but Dr. Haiselden is said
to have set up the defense that for
2,000 years physicians have sub
scribed to a policy of secrecy on sub
jects which ought to be published
for the enlightenment of the public.
Women Against
And for, Suffrage
See Country's Chief
WASHINGTON. Dec, 15. Both sides of
the woman suffrage question were
presented today to President Wilson. A
delegation from the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage, thanked
him for his announced opposition to a
federal constitutional amendment en
franchising women, and delegates to the
annual meeting of the National American
Woman Suffrage association asked him
to support such an amendment and use
his Influence to have it endorsed In the
next platform of the democratic party.
The president did not commit himself
further on the question, lie said nothing
to the women opposed to suffrage. To
the suffragists he explained that he had
already under consideration a request
that he change his original position in
opposition to a federal amendment.,
More than 1.000 women shook hands
with the president.
Permission to address the house wss
denied to Miss France Jollixe of Cali
fornia and Mrs. Sara ,Bard Field . of
Oregon, who recently drove a motor car
here from the Pacific, coast with a huge
suffrage petition for a constitutional
amendment.
