By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. lilroce Tribune-Omaha Bee Incased Wire. Chicago, June 4. Developments today in the big republican free-for-all to be staged at the Coliseum next week, indicated that of the avowed candidates for presidential nomination, Governor Lowden of Illinois has the best chance of car rying off the prize. Hie seasoned jepuDiican veterans, who began appearing on the scene today, I found, do not expect the delegates to name either Gen. Wood or Senator Johnson. - The - prevalent understanding is that Wood is slated for early elim ination from the contest. The gen eral is up against a volume of op position, which seems to the prac tical politicians to be well nigh insuperable. In addition to the an tagonism of old guardsmen from the start, Wood . is suffering from antagonisms contracted by his managers in projecting his. cam paign into the states of favorite sons. See 35 Votes sin Offing. The most hopeful of the Wood managers think they see 350 votes in sight for the general on about the third ballot, but that is as far as they are willing to go in the line of prediction when discussing the situation frankly. . This top figure, is some IJU votes snort ot majority; ; The, Johnson managers do not expect the senator to get within shouting distance of the nomina-. tion unless both Wood and Lowden should be eliminated and then their chief hope lies in a possible stam- peae qi tne convention 10 tne Cal ifornia senator. The appearance of Johnson in the convention on the league of nations issue in connec tion with the platform would be re lied upon to promote such a stam pede in the nomination. Stampede Improbable. A convention in which there are ; 500 delegates who sat in the con vention of 1916 and 300 veterans of the convention of 1912, however, is not likely to be stampeded. There fore the 'hope of the Johnson man agers is put down as a slender one, .to say the least. v " Lowden occupies the strategic po : sition in convention calculations that he has held for several' weeks. His reserve strength made up of the pledges of several hundred delegates for second choice, makes him for midable to begin with. He is be ing strengthened by the decisions of the national committee on con tests, decisions which will be in dorsed by the credentials commit tee, with the result of weakening Wood by the same token.

Rumors of a turn for the worse in the health ! of President Wilson and a 'decision to summon the Mayp brothers from Rochester. Minn., flew thick and- fast at the White house today. Each rumor met with a denial in turn. The first report was that the president contemplated going to the . Mayo brothers' hospital at Roches ter for special treatment. This was denied in emphatic language at the White house. Later the report was that one or both of the Drs.

Suffragist Leaders Fire v Broadsides at Ranks of ' "Noisy" Women Pickets Worker for Governor Lowden Declares Plans of Na tional Party at Chicago Are "Outrageous" Mrs. Doane Characterizes Alice Paul and Her Delega tion as "Nuisance" Receives Warm Answer. By LEOLA ALLARD. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Chicago, June 4. "Bad manners" and "poor taste" are only two of the things the women taking part in convention preparations said of Alice Paul and her picketing plans. "These few individuals are hotd ing up the ratification of suffrage," said Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns, a leader among workers for Gov. Frank Lowden. "It is outrageous for them to come here at this time, when the men are doing all they can for us, as individuals and as the republican party, and hurt their own cause by their, poor judgment. Their abom inable picketing is a case of bad manners and poor taste " Mrs. E. B. Giffen of Grant Park, 111., declared: "Those pickets want to be in the limelight. I they were working for the great cause of sufi frage they would do it in another way. They are helping men toward the thought that we aren't fit for suf frage when tttey behave so shame fully." T Mrs. Phillip Schuyler Doane said the Alice Paul delegation of noisy women reminded her of mice going after a corner of the pantry that is well lined with tin. "They make a lot of racket," she explained, "but they don't get any where. They are merely a nuisance, Women who talk loud are never heard very far." Mrs. Baker Replies. And Mrs. Abbey Scjtt Baker, the national woman's party's po litical chairman, said in answer: 'These women can't think political ly. That's what is the matter with them. You can't make us think that a great republican party cannot con trol a republican governor There are 60,000 of us and it makes no dif ference to us what the rest say. We know what we are doif?.

Lowden today in his first pronouncement on the liquor question. ( In an interview with newspaper men, Governor Lowden anounced that he was not in favor of any "evading" of the prohibition amend ment. Governor, Lowden stated that he had two possible planks for the re publican platform in mind, but had not definitely decided 'whether they would be offered to the convention. Reiterating his statement refusing to accept the votes of Delegates Goldstein and Moore of St Louis, who each received $2,500 from Louts Emmerson, the Lowden campaign manager, according to testimony be fore the senate investigating . com- miitee, the governor declared the national committee or the convention credentials committee should unseat the pair. Touching on the league of nationa, the governor took issue with the pro gram announced by Senator Johnson and declared he favored the peace treaty and league of natjons cove nant with "substantially the Lodge reservations." Receiver of Oil Lands ( Wants to Sink Oil Wells Washington, June 4. Frederic A.

"We have no right to be satisfied with resolutions when they can have enfranshisement," was Mrs. Baker's parting shot. "It shows ignorance." Mrs. Venonna Swan, delegate trom Missouri, a business woman who for 20 years was the c.ishicr of a Joplin bank, asked today why the women were satisfied with the po sition of alternate when they might have demanded more and got it. "They wanted to make our two women delegates alternates, but we said no," and she recounted he dele gates slated to come from Missouri as "seven white men, one negro and no woman," which, through the per sistence of the women, was changed to "five whitemen, two women and one negro." Women Not Misled. "The women are not misled by the talk of buying delegates. Women interested in this campaign knpw that the money given to the two men who are accused of being bought was given for for legitimate campaign purposes, and it is a das tardly political trick, this trving to make it appear that Governor L,ow den bought them." I Mrs. J. C, Pearson, president of the Oklahoma Stafe Federation of Women's clubs, and Mrs Frank D. Northrup of Ok!jhoma City, both contested delegates from the Fifth district, are here. ' "When a boy is 21, he is entitled to anything he can get' politically," Mrs. Pearson said.'

GOVERNMENT WILL SHOW NO MERCY TO U. S. TAX EVADERS Revenue Officers to Deal With Wilful Dodgers With Harsh Hand. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaned Wire. Washington, June 4. Wilful evaders of income taxes will suffer the heaviest penalties the govern ment can impose on them, the bu reau of internal revenue announced today. The self-discovered tax de linquent will have some opportunity! to try to justify himself, but the man who directly evades the law and whose act is found out through the government inspectors will be hit hard. This statement was made in con nection with an announcement that three junk dealers named Julius Isaac, Joseph Isaac and Jacob Issac, all of Elizabeth, N. J., and also Jacob H. Levy, secretary and treasurer of the Pioneer Overall company of Paterson, NJ., had all been pun ished severely. Julius Isaac was given a two months jail sentence and Jacob and Joseph Isaac were fined $3,000 each. Levy was indicted on the charge of perjury and attempt to evade the in come tax.1 The jury returned a vei diet of guilty and Levy was sen-J tenced to a year in jail.
