Name Executive Committee. The conference, which lasted, all day and into the early night, also agreed on an executive committee to have general charge of the campaign but its personnel will not be made public until tomorrow to permit Chairman Hays to communicate with the proposed members and ascertain whether they will serve. It was un derstood, h owever, that among mcm mers appointed was Harry M. Daugherty of Columbus, O.. precon-. vention campaign manager for Sena tor Harding. Under a rule adopted by the Chicago convention, the com mittee is to be increased to IS mem bers, the five new members to be women. The conference was the first for mal meetting between the republican presidential nominee and members of the national committee. Mr. Hays told newspaper men that the center of activity for the cam- I . ...... paign would be Chicago. He said, however, that the New York office would be no less important than in the past. Headquarters also will continue to be maintained, he said, in Washington and San Francisco with a branch in Denver. Praises Candidates. Chairman Hays in a formal state ment said: "Senator Harding possesses just those vital qualities of mind and hearty necessary today and in the time just ahead. His poise of mind, his soundness of judgment, his hold on fundamentals, his appreciation or the needs of today and of tomorrow, his love of the people from whom he came and of whom he is one, and his faith in them; his magnificent grasp of large affairs, his great native abil ity and his training in statesmanship, his regard tor the opinion of others, his experience and success in the handling of men, his proper appre ciation of his country's position as a responsible factor in the world's fu ture, but with the fullest realization of the absolute importance of our own supreme nationalism; his ster ling Americanism, his righteous character and manhood, and with all his thorough humanness qualify him in the most exceptional degree for the tremendous responsibility which will be his. He will make a splendid candidate and a great president. The country will love him, honor him, trust him and follow him, just as all who know him love and trust him, and the world will honor him. "Too, in Governor Coolidge we have a candidate for vice president that measures up to every require ment of a presidential candidate. Fortunate, indeed, is the country." . $75,000 Loss When Roller Mills at Columbus Burn Columbus, Neb., June 21. (Spe cial Telegram.) The Columbus roller mills, owned by Gus A.

A call for a convention ot railroad workers to be held at Chicago June 29, to or ganize a one big union has beerf pub lished in the Butte, Mont., Daily Bulletin, which officials of the De partment of Justice said today tliey believed an 1. W. VV. publication. Orders went out froirt the depart ment today to its agents at Chicago to keep a strict watch on the pro posed meeting for any possible I. W. W. activities in connection with it Hot Fight Expected on Democratic Platform (Continued From rage One.) slated for member of the resolu tions committee, is preparing an antiadministration plank on the league of nations, committing the party to protective reservations. "I think the party should stand for league of nations which embodies, not theoretically only, but actually, President Wilson's 14 points," said the senator tonight. I think the convention should not take too nar row a viecw of the league o" na- tions-," said former Congressman McGillicuddy, chairman of the Maine delegation. "We ought to take a stand in favor of reasonable reservations, but reservations that are not destructive of the treaty." Glass Stands Firm. MfrMcGillicuddy said he favored an outright and specific declaration of sympathy for the cause of Irish in dependence. Delegates who have sought the views ot iicnator Larter ulass of Virginia, who is to be chairman of the resolution committee, found him vigorously opposed to either a "wet" plr.nk or an Irish plank. "We shall have our hands full for some time attending to the affairs of America without going farther af.eld," Mr. Glass told one delegate. Senator Glass also asserted at a confab of fellow Jeffersonians that in his opinion there would be no "wet" plank in the platform and that the light wines and beer forces would be defeated not only in the resolution committee, but on the floor of the convention, if they should submit a minority platform report. As the Virginia senator had a 40 minute talk with President Wilson on Saturday and is known to be carrying the Wilson platform planks to San Francisco, his views on these matters were accepted as represent ing the position of the administra tion. Lambasts Republican Congress. Senator Glass declined to discuss for publication his platform views or his conferences with delegates. He was more intent on lambasting tlie republicans, particularly on economic issues. "The republican congress," said Senator Glass, "has failed to respond to the oft-repeated demand of the president and the secretaries of the treasury to revise the existing tax laws. The present taxes were hasti ly devised under the pressure of im perative necessity to produce a given amount of revenue for war purposes, but the continuance of such taxes in peace times is indefensible and can only result in lasting injury to the whole people, if not complete throttling of our economic life. The republican congress has persistently failed, through sheer political cow ardice, to make a single move to ward a readjustment of tax laws which it denounced before the last election and is now afraid to revise before the next election."

Weaver, affectionately known as "Dad," who died early Sunday morning and whose funeral takes place this afternoon. "Did" was the jovial and well-beloved see letary of Ak-Sar-Ben for nearly IS years. It was Sarpy county night at the den and the initiations went on as usual, but the third act of "Sky Low" was omitted and, in its plate, a memorial to Mr. Weaver, was joined in by all present. A touching eulogy was read by E. C. Page as follows, while all the knights stood: Gentlemen, Knights of Ak-Sar- Ben: In this great society, number- ng as it does, many thousand men yearly, death, of necessity, is always among us. A man drops here, another there, his friends mourn, but the vacancies fill and the organiza tion goes on in its old stately way. There, however, is an event that calls for a special mark. John D. Weaver, affectionately known as 'Dad,' has goae to his reward. For nearly 15 years he was, under the board of governors, the business executive of the Knights of Ak-Sar- Ben. and for many long years pre vious to that one of our most loyal and hard workers. Endeared to us all was his clear twinkling eye, his hearty laugh, his generous ways, his warm handclasp. He was honest, in dustnous, wholesome, he left us as he would have wished, 'in the har ness and on the job.' Nature had so kindly fashioned the elements within him, that all the world could say, here was a man. He has goiu where there is no pain, no sorrow, nor sighing. "We trust his kind and faithful family life will in remembrance be a comfort and solace to the be reaved ones near and dear to him, and that his memory may be long treasured by the knights of Ak-Sar-Ben." At the end of the eulogy the en tire audience repeated in unison a solemn: "Goodbye, 'Dad,' and peace be with you." Then the Concord club quintet sang "The Vacant Chair," and the orchestra sounded "taps." Judge Scores Young Man For "Fighting for Honor" Judge Capell, in Council Bluffs police court yesterday rebuked K. G. Camel of Omaha for the nature of his defense plea when arraigned upon a charge of disturbing the peace by fighting in fhe dance hall at Riverview park.

She said shS undressed . Ihim and put him to bed. IS A Flirt, Too, She Says. Mrs. Foster alleged her husband posed as unmarried and declared to her it would hurt his business if he could riot flirt with women who came to him in a business way and would not come to him if it were known he was married and had a family. She alleged that although her husband purchased four autos in one year, he limited her charge ac count in a downtown store to $5 monthly. On cross-examination Mrs. Fos ter admitted she had written a letter which was produced by Howard N. Ragland, attorney for Foster, and said: 'Yes, I put all my literary power into that letter. I sought a reconciliation. I spent nine hours a night for five weeks in writing that letter." About "Lowbrows." She admitted she thought some of her ,husband's friends were "low brows." but explained that her fam ily was intimate with William J. Brvan and that naturally she was shocked when prohibition laws were violated here. Mrs. Foster said that this letter was part of, her efforts toward a reconciliation. When the matter of alimony was discussed Michael G. Heintz, attorney for Mrs. Foster, and Attorney H. N, Ragland, for her husband, finally agreed that $75 a month ' would be satisfactory. "This is one case where the di vorce laws are a good thing,". Judge Charles W. Hoffman said. "I do not believe these two people should be forced to go through life together," Engagement Gift Can't Be Replevined When Love Cooh, Judge Rules D., June 21. Medin of the Sioux Falls, S. (Special.)
