WASHINGTON, July 6 -Whether the
reoranlier element, now In actual control
I of tha party machinery, will make any at
? tempt to bring about harmony and pla
Jcate tho Old Guard of Pennsylvania De-
tnocracy probably will bo known In a very
ahort time. It In believed here that tho
, selection of a national committeeman to
succeed A. Mitchell Palmer, who nought
and got a plaCo on the bench of tho Fed-
; cmi oun oi claims, will determlno the
; harmony question.
C Up to date the reorganlzer element haa
j shown no desire to seek harmony; on the
, contrary, there are many Instance In
which Mr. Palmer, State Chairman Mor
rl and Vance McCormlck, who has con-
Strlbuted most of the lubricant to keep
the reorganlzer wheels welt oiled, have
gone out of their way to oppose the Old
I Guard leaders. This haa been especially
true In the matter of Federal patronage,
and there are numerous Instances of rec
lord here where open fights were made
; against this wing of tha party, and the
recommendations of the leaders were
coolly and promptly turned down. In
fact, there Is a letter In existence written
by Mr. Palmer to an Old Guard leader In
which Ihe reorganlzer chief admits that
he Is a poor hand as a hafmonlter, and
ithat "harmony is not tho greatest thing
jailer alt."
j OLD GUARD SEEKS NO PEACE
i According to Inside Information hero the
(Old Guard leaders are not as anxious for
harmony now as they were a year or so
ago. They were holding out tho otlve
branch, but now It Is different. Up to
date theyhave been studiously Ignored by
tho Palmer-Morrls-McCormlck trlumvl
jratc, and now that virtually all of the
IJulcy plums have been knocked down, and
Ithere la very tittle left In the way of
tFcderal offices, they say there Is no roa
Json why thdy should make any advances
which would lead to a harmonious under
standing. As a matter of fact, some of
jthe more astute Old Guard leaders say
tprlvately that for the present It would be
'.beat for them not to take any part In
choosing a auccessor to Palmer, but to
allow this to be done by the reorganise
They argue that, Inasmuch as the present
party management In Pennsylvania has
been a failure, so far as the rank and nlo
'of the Democratic voters are concerned,
Jit would be unwise for the Old Guard to
tmake any attempt at this tlrtie to seek a
change of control. They, assert, and offer
levldence to prove their case, that In
ciearly every case, unpopular and po
litically weak appointments wore made
by the reorganlrers, and that absolutely
Jno Blame can be attached to the Old
JOuard for this Therefore, they believe
i niinivlnir the reorganise to carry
the burden pf responsibility until the time
fcomes to elect a new-' State committee,
fend then, they say. there will be a dllfer
fcnt story to tell. "
OL.D GUARD EXPECTS, CONTROL
Old guard leaders who have been In
Washington In the last two or three
iweelcn talk very confidently of being able
So control the next Democratic State
Committee. They assert that the Demo
cratic voters re dissatisfied with the
JPalmer-Mdrrla-McCormtck leadership and
Jhere wilt be little If any dlfltculty ex
perienced In electing a. good working ma
jority of State committeemen. It la
known that sentiment has been sounded
jthxoughout the State, and that the re
ports made to the Old Guard are very
Encouraging-.
. So far as the National Committee va
cancy Is concerned there Is considerable
jloubt here as to what will be done.
President Wilson has seen fit to feel
binder debt to Mr. Palmer for the part
iie played In the Baltimore Convention,
land Mr. Palmer lias been careful to see
that thla obligation on the part of the
'White House got before the country,
lip to data Mr. "Wilson has favored Mr.
.Palmer oyer every other Pennsylvania
Democrat, and he haa been guided by
Vint much In tha ifntrlmffnt nf (hit ntirfv

recent daya Instances have come to tight
at the White House which Indicate that
the President has lost faith, to a targe
fextent. In the political sagacity of Mr.
jPalmer, and his elevation to the Federal
court of Clalmn wrote finis to the Ad
ministration's obligations. From high Ad
ministration circles It Is learned that Mr.
Palmer ts slowly but surely ceasing to
be a factor In White House discussions
pf Pennsylvania affaire, and that tha Ad
ministration Is now beginning to Insist
that something be done to bring about
Iiarmony.
PAIAIEn ELIMINATED.
In elevating Mr. Palmer to the bench
Jhe President has eliminated him as an
active and potent factor in Pennsylvania

Vouched for by competent authority. Is
pot without its humorous phase. Ten
minutes before the position was offered
to Mr Palmer It was not In the Presi
dent's mind to gtve It to him. Mr. Tu

long distance call In for a well-known
New Jej-eey lawyer, whom -the President
f.ad deelded to appoint to the Court of

in answer to his call Mr Palmer walked
In, and after a few momenta chat told

U. S. GETS SUMMARY
OF GERMAN REPLY TO
NOTE FROM GERARD
Reports From Ambassador
Indicate Counter Pro
posals Will Be Offered in
Exchange for Safety of
Americans.
WASHINGTON, July 6
The State Department today announced
that Ambassador Qorard, at Berlin, had
sent to Washington a summary of the
views of the German Government to be
Incorporated In Its forthcoming note on
the Lusltanla case. These views agree
substantially with reports from Germany
during the last fortnight Indicating that
the reply to Trcsldont Wilson's note will
be satisfactory.
The department stated that no reply
has been made to this confidential com
munication, and It Is understood thut
none will be made until the Ambassador's
dispatch has been studied by President
Wilson.
So far as official utterances were con
cerned the State Department's reticence
concerning German-American exchanges
had Increased, if anything, today
Secretary Lanslnu said he couldjiot dis
cuss dlsnatches received from Berlin In
explanation of tho delay In the German
note, n
Communications received from Ambas
sador Gerard, he declared, wero essen
tially confidential If Berlin officials cared
to give anything out It was their privi
lege, but It was not for this Government
to do so.
He seemed somewhat put out by the
suggestion that any negotiations In the
line of "secret diplomacy" were pending.
That more or less well-defined sugges
tions had been made to Gerard he ad
mitted, but ho denied he had any Infor
mation Indicating when the German com
munication might bo expected here.
FEELING OUT U S.
If rare thn Imnression that Germany
was "feeling out" the United States, but
Insisted that nothing was going on ' un
derground." He did not try to conceal
his view that tho Berlin Torelgn Office
was disposed to meet American wishes,
but said no radical new suggestions had
been made.
It would be the Presldant, he concluded,
who would frame the reply to Ambassa
dor Gerard's latest communication, but
thus far, he stated, tho Exocutlve had
not done so.
That there will be at least another week
of waiting for tho German reply to the
American note on the Lusltanla disaster
and the submarine warfare policy of Ger
many Is Indicated In preliminary reports
received by the State Departmentt from
Ambassador Gerard.
The Ambassador Is keeping the depart
ment Informed, It has been teamed, re
garding the progress mads in the note,
although he has been unable so far to
make a definite forecast of Its contents.
In view of advices, understood to have
been received from the American Ambas
sador at Berlin, however, there was less
Impatience among officials today over the
delay In transmitting the note It la be
lieved Ambassador Oerard Is convinced
that Germany seeks to make a favorable
reply to the United States and that he
has advised this Government not to be
unduly xealous upon urging an Immediate
statement of the Kaiser's Government.
Officials of the State Department aro
watching closely both official and unoffi
cial advices which tend to reflect public
opinion In Berlin. The general temper
of German press comments Is regarded
as Indicating an eventual adjustment of
the differences between the two govern
ments and Ambassador Gerard's recent
observations have not been such as to
alarm him or this Government.
COUNTEn PROPOSALS EXPECTED.
It Is' understood that Germany wilt
make a counter proposal of some char
acter In Its reply to the Wilson note de
manding protection for American travel
ers on the high seas.
What this counter proposal will be
haa not been forecast In offlotal reports
from Berlin, according to Btate Depart
ment officials, but it Is learned that
Ambassador Oerard and officials of the
German Foreign Otco have held a num
ber o( Informal conferences, The ap
parent abject of these conferences has
been to reach a working basis upon which
the two Governments may proceed to
dlsouss and reconolle their differenced
GERARD'S REPRESENTATIONS
ALTER GERMAN ATTITUDE
BERLIN. July 8.
Late developments serve to emphasis
tha Isipressteit, gained through Informal
conversations with prominent German of
fWals, that Germany's reply to tha Amer
ican not m submarine warfare will re
move any probability of trouble between
tha United State and Germany
Indeed the obam In German sentiment
brought about by the earnest efforts to
Ambassador James W Gerard may be the
basis for sups toward 'humanising" war
that will extend even farther than the
submarine campaign
Ambassador Gani coafWeAcea with
SECRETARY DANIELS AND
olTlclnls of tho Foreign OIllco nre attract

operations Becauso of tho rigid recrecy
observed, no Inkling of tho arguments ad
vanced by the Amerlcnn envoy can he pro
cured, but German ofTlclals aro authority
for the statement that the Ambassador
has received several Important communi
cations from tho Washington State De
partment slnco tho socond American nota
reached here
These, It Is roportcd, were not for
presentation to tho German Foreign Of
fice but for the guidance of Mr Gerard
In setting forth tho actual position of his
Government.

harm to himself. Tho wound on his wrist
Is slight

morning to Identify Holt as Eric Mucnter,
tho former Harvard University professor
who fled to Mexico from Cambridge after
killing his wife, but both failed
Charles Attcd. Superintendent of Pub

ola by automobile nnJ had a talk with
Holt. Beforo Muentcr fled from Cam
bridge in 1004 he was a neighbor of Atted
"There Is a striking resemblance, but I
could not swear this man h Muenter "
said Atted after his Interview with tho
prisoner.
Asslstnnt District Attorney Charles It
Wood, of Nassau County, who ins one
of tho Muenter's pupils at Harvard, also
failed In nn effort to Identify the Morgan
assailant as the Cambridge wlfo murdorer.
After District Attorney Smith talked
with Holt, ho sold: "In my opinion Holt
Is Insane "
Martin W Littleton In reported to have
been retained as counsel for Holt. Thomas
J. Reldy, who was previously retained ns
counsel for the prisoner, spent several
hours with his client
A pretty young girl, who made a
dramatic appearance nt the county Jail
early today and demanded that she be al
lowed to sec Holt, Injected a new element
of mystery Into the Investigation of tho
prisoner's activities
Warden Hulse, who refused to admit the
girl, said she would not give her name or
hr reasons for wonting to tnlk to. Holt.
Sho had a letter, the Jail olllclala said,
purporting to come from the chief of po
lice of Dallas, Texas, asking that "every
courtesy" be shown her. The girl ar
rived in Mlneola, presumably from New
York, at 1:15 a, m
Holt told tho Jail authorities today he
had no Idea who his mjsterlous visitor
could be.
Trom his wife, Leone, who Is In Dal

gram: "Have best counsel here. AdvlBed to
rest and wait, and you must do the
same, Sand loving greetings hourly
Beautiful tribute to you In both evening
papers here. I am tarrying for details
of finances. I will come when you need
me Do not be afraid Rest."
Though recovering from the beating at
the hands of Morgan and the Morgan
servants, Holt was still weak today from
the loss of blood. His preliminary hear
ing at Glen Cove will not be held until
tomorrow.
Holt, who went on a "hunger strike"
Immediately after his arrest, was warned
today by District Attorney Louis J.
Smith that, unless he consented to eat
solid food, he would be taken to a hos
pital and forcibly fed. Holt objected to
going to the hospital, saying he was sat
isfied with the treatment he received In
his cell.
The police have npt dropped the theory
that Holt had accomplices both at Wash
ington and In his atttack on Morgan,
Mr. Morgan's physicians announced to
day that, because of the fact that their
patient Is "practically out of danger," no
more bulletins will be Issued from, the
Morgan home. In the future att Informa
tion concerning the banker's condition
will be given out from the offices of J P.

DORIS SCHMIDT
Whllb Phlladelphlans were having the
time of their Uvea celebrating the Fourth
of July, little Doris Schmidt, one of tho
1914 Indcpedence Day victim, spent the first
anniversary of her accident In Jefferson
Hospital, where for a whole year she has
been trying In vain to get well Last year
the little 6-year-old girl was almost fatally
burned by a so-called "harmless" sparklor
given to her by hor mother.
With tho cxcoptlon of a few weeks
when she was taken to hor homo, 2413
South 18th street, tha cntlra time has
been spent In various hospitals. Many
times her life was despaired of Now, If
all goes welt, the little girl will bo out In
time to start to school next September.
Her wound hasn't healed yet, nor has
sho tho use of her arm
Bursting firecrackers and skyrockets
brought no Joy to the blue-eyed, flossy
hatred little girl lying In the children's
ward of the Jefferson Hospital yesterday.
"I don't ever want to stay In the city
again on 4th of July," sho Bold to her
mother, "and If I'm better next year
won't you take me away some place far
away, wherq they don't celebrate?"
"No wonder she's nervous," the dis
tressed mother said today, talking about
the catastrophe "Her whole, side and
arm and arm-pit were pitifully burned
We thought she could not recover, and
the first doctor whom we called In applied
something which the hospital doctors de
clare poisoned her whole system.
"Then, when she went to the Samaritan
Hospital, she developed scarlet fever and
had to be taken away to quarantine In
the Municipal Hospital. Later we had
her removed to the Jefferson, and now,
after many painful skin graftings and
suffering that it would tear your heart
to see, my little girl Is going to get well,
But never so long as I live will a child of
mine pe permitted to touch any fireworks.
I've Iiftd my lesson a dear one and I'll
never forget when I saw Doris enveloped
In flames from the "harmless" sparkler
I had given her to play with."
The pretty little sir) will be soarred for
life, but despite her unfortunate experi
ence ahe Is a happy little person whom
the nurses regard as the brightest ray of
sunshine In the children's ward. Even
when the time rolls around for dressing
her painful wounds, she blinks the tears
