POLITICS A GAME PLAYED Dark Horse Out of Eace and Interest Centers in the Contest For President. WEST AGAINST THE EAST Xew York, May 28. The first week "of the thirteenth biennial convention of the general federation of Women's tlula closed last night with scores of dinners and receptions, after a day of committee and conference meet inRS at which were formulated the na tional policies of the orKanization to be voted on next week. One of the questions upon which interest is centered is the proposed propaganda for internationalism, in behalf of world peace, and its corol lary, a pan-American congress of wo men in 1920. Two amendment to the by-laws which have been offered also were occupying the attention of the delegates. They provide for the in vestment of $100,000 endowment fund and ior enlarging the board of dircc tors from fifteen to fiftv-scven mem bcrs, so that each state may have a representative on the board. The chief topic of conversation to night, however, was the presidential flection to be held May 31. Interest was enhanced by announcement of the withdrawal from the race of the three dark horses, Mrs. John 1). Sher man, Chicago; Miss Georgie Racon, Worcester and Mrs. U. W. Corkran, jr., Baltimore. The contest now is definitely between Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowlcs, Los Angeles, and Mrs. Sam uel 1J. Sncath, Tiffin, O. Their sup porters assert personalities will not figure in the fight. 'The west, they say, will be arrayed against the east. Claims of Mrs. Denniston Mrs. E. O. Dcnniston, chairman of Mrs. Cowlcs' campaign committee, claims the entire vote of the delega tions from the Pacific coast, north west and southwestern states. Mrs. Sncath's supporters claim the south ern and eastern states. The1 Ohio candidate's strength in the east and middle west is discounted by Mrs. Cowlcs' adherents because at caucuses held this afternoon, the dele gations from New York, Illinois, Jowa, Maryland and Massachusetts decided to go to the election un pledged. , . rr,f. - - - i Miss Jiacon, who now holds the of fice of second vice president, has an nounced her candidacy for the first vice presidency. She will be unop posed, her supporters say. No candi dates have yet appeared for the other offices. At this morning's business meeting an effort was made to bring the amendment increasing the member ship of the board of directors to a vote, but after a long discussion, the subject went over until Monday. All the recommendations made by Mrs I'ercy V. I'cnuybackcr, the president, m her report, were adopted. They in clude the pan-American congress, a national survey of motion pictures the continuation of the work of Amer icanizing the immigrant and improve- ' mcnt of rural conditions- Her nro- i ,)0st j ' ,lrne an(1 money-saving methods to bring about closer con tact between the state federations and the national officers, also were ap proved. , For National Bird Day. A resolution advocating the estab lishment of a national bird day, April 3, the birthday of John Burroughs, the naturalist, was adopted at a con ference of the conservation commit tee.

HE ADVISES A REVISION In connection with the action of the Central Labor union in March in voting to launch a movement to force repeal of the workmen's compensa tion act, Frank Kennedy, editor of the Western Laborer, wrote to Sam uel Gompers, president of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, requesting a review of the law as passed by the Nebraska legislature. A copy of the law was for waded to Mr.' Ciompers. In a lengthy reply to Mr. Kennedy, this statement is made by the dis tinguished labor leader: "I hope you will advise against such rash action and, on the other hand, urge the Central Labor union and members of organized labor generally throughout your state to immediately go to work with the serious intention of revising and bringing up to date your state com pensatioti law, rather than permit its repeal. Like Other States. Mr. Gompers adds that lie finds the law to be "an average niece of compensation legislation passed in the tirst stages by several state legis latures. It is presumably an elective or optional law and yet an analysis oi h snows mat n is practically a compulsory law, because employers who do not elect to come under its provisions in Part I are denied the old common law defenses: and if an employe declines to come under the compensation law, he is left to the mercy of the court with all of the, old aforesaid common law defenses available against his claim, with the further burden of being compelled to prove willful negligence on the part of the employer." The suggestion is made that sub section 137, dealing with insurance, should be rewritten, the compulsory insurance provisions of the Ohio and Washington laws being referred to as models. In his cpnclusion Mr. Gompers of fered the following comments: "1 think you will be able to revise your state compensation law so clearly and comprehensively, without the aid of legal, political, insurance tricksters, that it will insure for the working people of Nebraska a first class, liberal, compulsory, comprehen sive, automatic compcnsation-lor-in- jurics law. Commends Efforts Made. Your fellow workers in the states of Iowa, Kansas and Missouri have made splendid efforts to perfect their laws. In .Missouri the; law has been denied the workers by the fighting and wrangling of designing insur ance and damage case, agents. It would he well if a conference could be called at an early date, of repre sentative labor men from the states herein mentioned, all subject to simi lar industrial conditions and all hav ing to meet problems of like nature, so that you could bring ybtir state compensation laws of the Missouri valley up to the proper standard. thereby avoiding the clashes of profit takers who have designedly misused the compensation pinciple for their own ncnciiis. "This subject seems to be a diffi cult one and js frequently prepared in a confusing, difficult way expressly for the purpose of mystifying and deceiving the beneficiaries. "The principle of automatic com pensation requires only siinclp provi sions of law, clearly aiTd comprehen sively written. Pledge Legislative Candidates. "If the workers would avoid being imposed upon and continuously mulcted, they should, of course, take hold of this problem themselves and work it out to their own satisfaction, pledge their legislative candidates to the law they have drafted and insist upon its enactment and administra tion, preferably by a member of or ganized labor. The mystery would then be dissipated and a greater measure of justice would prevail. "This thought must be kept upper most in the minds of all; organized labor never urged compensation laws ior the sake of compensation, but instead has pressed them for enact ment so that employers would install the best safety methods available in the conduct of their bu.iiuriss in order that the lives and limbs and the an.xie- ties of those in their employ should j be 'pared.

Who Risked Their Lives k. the Call of Their v Country. POSTS " ATTEND IN A BODY U. S. Grant and Custer Posts Wor ship at Trinity Methodist with Auxiliary Corps. SONS OF "VETERANS, TOO Tributes in sermon and song were paid at the churches yesterday to the men who risked their lives to save their country in the stirring days of the Civil war. The veterans attended Some of the churches in a body. Special reser vations were kept for the thin grey line of fa disappearing heroes. V. S. Grant and Custer posts wor shipped at Trinity Methodist church They formed at Twenty-fourth and Hinney streets and, headed by a fife and drum corps and with flags Hy ing gaily in the morning breeze, they marched bravely to the church. There were also some Sons of Veterans tfrmc i And the Ladies Krlief corps occupied a special section. "Our F.loqucift Dead," was the title of Rev. John F. I'oucher's sermon. It bristled with stirring episodes ot tne great conflict and through it was woven the philosophy of duty for duty's sake, self-sacrifice for the com mon good and the enternal song of praise and thanks to the republic's preservers. American Bravery. "The lovaltv and bravery of Ameri can soldiers has never been surpassed, rarely equalled, he declared. Une hundred and twenty regiments in the Civil war suffered losses far greater than any regiment suffered in the Crimean or the Franco-Prussian war. The "light-brigade" of whose charge "into the valley of death" Tennyson has sung, lost only 37 per cent of its men. Hut the First Minnesota regi ment in the Civil war lost 82 per cent in fifteen minutes: die Fourteenth Pennsylvania lost 76 per cent; the Twenty-sixth North Carolina lost 72 per cent; the One Hundred and first New York lost II per cent. And so the death roster of the heroes goes. Heroes they were, unsung and even unknown in hundreds of in stances. When the figbt was on for Little Round Ton at Gettysburg the day was all but lost to the Union troops. The flag bearer had fallen and the troops were disheartened. Suddenly someone ran and picked up the Hag, houted and ran ahead;- Ttie troops rallied. The day was finally won. Then they tried to find who the hero was. They found his body under the bodies of eighteen other men- Hut he was unidentified. He is unknown to this day." Remembers the Women. Addressing himself to the ladies of the relief corps, the minister paid a high tribute to them, their patience under the stress and strain of war's burdens and anxieties. "I remember the heroism of my own mother," he said. "We were about the only Northern sympathizers in our town, lhe day alter Lincoln was shot a man came into our house. T just came in to tell you that Lin coln was shot last night in Washing ton and I'm glad of it,,' he said. My mother, that little ninety - pound woman made one leap at him. She scratched his face, she tore his hair and finally pushed him terrified out the door and tumbled him down the steps." The minister called attention to the fact that the war was fought chiefly by boys tinder 21 years of age. Only 46,000 of those enlisted were over 25 years old. There were 104,908 who were IS years of age. Thirty-eight soldiers were only 11 snd twenty-five enlisted "men" were only 10 years old, the records show. Decorate the Graves. Thousands of people visited the various Omaha cemeteries yesterday decorating graves, and otherwise "hx ing lip" their lots for the annual Me morial day.

TWO DEMO TRAINS FROMNEBRASKA Bryan and Hitchcock Crowd Each Will Have Special to the Convention, BIG CONTEST OVER HONORS (From a Hiiiff orri-"pon1"nt.) Lincoln, May 2H. (Special.) Colo nel W. S. Ridgell, chief engineer of the movomcnt to charter a train ii: which democrats can ride to the dem ocratic national convention in Si Louis, returned yesterday from Omaha and reports that two trains have been provided for to carry the unterrificd to the great gathering. There will be about twenty coaches on the two trains, not counting baggage, cold water and grape juice cars. One train will start from Omaha and the other from Lincoln and the two will meet at Union. This docs not ncccssarilv indicate that there will be a union of the two factions. The fact that two different trains have been provided probably means that one faction will ride in one train and tlie other faction in the other. The only thing left to be arranged is which train will go ahead. Question of Precedure. The Hitchcock crowd contends that as they won out in the primary that they should be allowed to go ahead so that they could get to St.' Louis first. The cordial agreement to that plan by the Iiryan fellows ha started a fear on the part of the Hliclicock crowd that the latter intend to wait until the two trains get down in the bewilder ing wildernesses of Missouri and then will run their trains iuro tlie one ahead and ditch it with malicious intent. Scrap for Honors. The fight which is now on as to who of the delegation shall have the glory of being selected for the honor ary positions is beginning to get in teresting. W. H. Thninpsoii received the most votes for deli-gate-at-large and then-fore the Hryau fellows in ist that he should be given the most important job, that of Nebraska's member of the resolution committee.

TO DOUBLE SOME INCOMES . x Saratoga Springs, N. Y,, May 28. A Methodist minister who officiates at the marriage of a divorced person in violation of the rules of the church, is guilty of an act of mal administra tion, and may be compelled to answer charges before his coiiferncce, accord ing to an amendment to the discipline of the churcfi, adopted unanimously today by the general conference. The church 4jas always recognized only one ground for divorce and has per mitted remarriage only of the in nocent party, but no penalty has ever existed. For the purpose of completing action on committee reports, the con ference vas in session until late to night. V irtually all debate was shut off, and by adopting this course, the delegates believed adjournment would be possible Monday morning.

The marchers, headed by the Seventh regiment baud, sang "The Army and Navy Forever' and other popular airs. Richard M. Hurd, who was spokes man for fhc visitors, in addressing Colonel Roosevelt, Said: "Lincoln said this nation could not endure half slave and half free. It is equally true, as you have pointed out, that this nation cannot now endure half hyphenated and half American." Colonel Roosevelt, addressing the visitors from the porch of his iiome, said in part: Colonel Makes Speech. "We have a right to demand of every man who comes here and be comes a citizen that he become an American and nothing else. We re gard the hyphen as a bar sinister drawn across, our national coat of arms and we don't intend to permit it to remain there. "To you, both native of this coun try and those born abroad, and above all, to you old native American natives of old stock, you cannot expect to get loyalty from the Americans of old stock, you cannot expect to get loy alty from the immigrant or the immi grant's children unless you make this a country to which a proud man can be loyal. And to do that you have got to demand that the country stand for courage and for strength. "No man ever yet was loyal to a weakling whose weakness was due to the fact that be would not take the pains and undergo te effort neces sary to be strong. Carried the Big Stick.

' NOT A SURPRISE TO ACCUSED Wife Heari'Finding: of Jurors and Kemarks, "God's Will Be Done." AN APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN New York, May 28. -Convicted of murder in the first degree for poison, ing his father-in-law, John E. Peck, a millionaire drug manufacturer of Grand Rapids, Mich., Dr. Arthur War ren Waite is in the Tombs prison where he will remain until Justice Clarence J. Shearn sentences him, June 1, to death In the electric chair, Walter R. Deuel, the young den tist's chief counsel, said tonight the verdict of guilty was a proper one. He asserted all that could be done for the defendant had been done In the trial which ended today. One of Mr, Deuel's assistants, said neverthe less that preparations were being made to take an appeal at once. Mr, Deuel wras in consultation with his client for a few minutes after Waile was remanded to his cell in the Tombs in the afternoon. District At torney Swann said tonight that if an Appeal were taken his office would be ready in ten days to argue the case in the higher courts. Waile declined to make any state ment, from his cell, but said he might issue "some impression" later. That lie was inclined to accept the verdict as final and was resigned to his fate seemed to be indicated by his remark this is a great relief, ' as he was led from the court room. Expected a Conviction. Waite, who admittted not only the murder of Mr. Peck, but also that of Mrs. Hanna Peck, his mother-in-law. and who admitted that he attempted to kill his wife's aunt, Miss Katherine Peck, apparently had no doubt that the jury would conict him. As the jury retired he turned to his brother, Frank and said? "The jury should not be out five minutes. It was a long drawn out proceeding," Half an hour later he remarked, "I don't understand this." "You should not talk that way," said Frank. "They may be finding you not guilty." "Oh I yes they will find me guilty," insisted Dr. Waite. The trial lasted six days, which was almost a record for brevity, for an im portant murder trial here in recent years. Leaving the court room at 1:20 p. in., the jury was out only an, hour and twenty-five minutes. After returning the verdict, the foreman asserted that the jurors had made a compact not to reveal the nature of icir delibera tions. His Nerve Holds Up. Dr. Waite preserved his nonchalant demeanor, not only hile facing the jury to learn bis fate, but after he was Jed back to the Tombs' prison. Throughout the trial be seemed un moved by any human feeling as he recited the details of his deliberate at tempts to kill Mr. Peck with the bacilli of various disease, of his final resort to poison, of his murder of Mrs. Peck by administering disease germs, and his attempt to kill his wife's aunt by placing ground glass and germs in her food. Apparently unmoved Waite con fronted the jury without displaying (Continued on I'age 2, Column 2.) Removal of Mayor Mitcliel Is Asked "New York, May 28.
