Moriarty named chairman and Mrs. V. E. Bolin, secretary. Elmer E. Thomas, . Thomas B. Murray, and Harland L. Mossnun, dry delegates, vigorously protested what they characterized as steam roller tactics, but their objections were overridden with neatness and dispatch. Resolutions were adopted on the cVaih of- United States Marshal i nomas riynn, ana iormcr county chairman. Dry Voles Spumed. When the committee reported its determination to send 83 men and 83 women delegates to the state con vention with half a vote each and the delegation to vote as a unit, Elmer Thomas denounced the effort as political suicide, calling to mind that there are 4,000 dry votes in the county which were being spurned. Mayor Smith, in a thoroughly democratic speech, referred to President Wilson in glowing terms, at which time hisses were heard. The culprit -was ferreted out and ejected from the hall, but was ad mitted again when hfc made clear the fact that he was hissing a man down in front who refused to keep still, and" not the mayor's eulogy, of the nation's executive. JtJo Keynote Speech. Chairman Moriarity announced that he would not deliver a keynote address because of the evidences of unruliness in the convention. He did warn the delegates that if they engaged in a factional fight, the same thing might happen next No vember. The convention indorsed the names of Arthur F. Mullen, J. C. Dahlman, John A. Rine, George Parks and Mrs. II. E. Newbranch as Douglas county members of the new state central committee, to be of feted to'the state convention for ap proval. Credentials Committee. The credentials committee com prised Andrew Gallagher. Otto Bau man, T. J. Dinan, Mrs. J. H. Hop kins and Mrs. E. K. Hall. Efforts of Miss Helenc Bixby to have Mayor Smith named on this com mittee were futile. John A. Rine, H. E. Newbranch, George L. Norman, Peter C. H.

EXPECT WILSON TO URGE ACCEPTANCE OF ARMENIAN PACT Senators Predict President .Will y'Send Message Concerning Mandate to Congress. Washington, May 12. Frediction was made in the, senate yesterday that President Wilson will shortly send to congress a message recom mending acceptance of an Armenian mandate by the United States. Such a recommendation would be the signal for another partisan battle, thev indicated. The probability of such a recom mendation being made was discussed today in connection with a favorable report by the foreign relations com mittee on a resolution requesting the president to send an American war ship and marines to Batum, to pro tect the lives and property of Amer icans there and along the line of the railroad to Baku, against marauding Turks and Kurds and congratulating the Armenians upon attaining their independence as a nation. The resolution was unanimously supported. It was evolved after months of sub-committee considera tion, from a number of resolutions dealing with Armenian question, ,,,rt n( i. ln'cli went miirh further in the way of definite action by the United Mates.

The women have turned the. world of politics topsy-turvy and, with a vigor 'undaunted by years of suf frage Waterloos, are marching on, each new step a victory. Tuesday they took the republi can county convention by. storm. From the first minute when Mrs. Dranrr Sfliith rose to her feet. and. i as chief representative of the worn- e'n assembled, nominated Anan Raymond chairman of the council, to the last inning when the names of state Relegates were formally ac- resolution, if adopted, would be un satisfactory to the president, who, in returning it, would take occasion to recommend that the United States take over the care of the new Ar menian state, senators thought. ceptcd by the "ayes" the wonnen had everything their own wa)'. First They Use Caution. But first with cautiousness born" of their defeats in the past the newly-fledged delegates and vctrran suffragists wanted to know vihere they stood before matters were put to test. Thev had been told they lsad a majority in the meeting but they wanted to see for themselves. So Mrs. Smith asked, "would the ch.-iir.man please have the delegate counted men and women sep arately?" The chairman wonSd and did. Then They Put Things Over. With the returns of this count. 79 to 52, safely tucked away the v. omen of Douglas county pro ceeded to business. They read the roster of names of delegates to the state republican convention. Then Fred Hoye announced that ( he didn't approve the proceedings. ( "I do not believe that the largest ward in Omaha should be repre sented only by women," he declared. 1 J hrec women had been named from that ward but 'nary a man. But the list was accepted by the convention, despite a small handful of very determined "noes" from the immediate neighborhood of the dele gate from the Fifth ward. And the women will send 31 of the 63 delegates to Lincoln. It Was Like This.

The motive is believed by police to have bc-.i an argument over the possession of J a revolver. A small open pen knife j wa found in the clenched hand of tne dead man. other verbal bouquets, an eloquent plea for the women to stand or fall with the republican party, applause every time somebody said some thing nice about a woman, more ap plause when Mrs. H.
