"Whafll We Dp With
Johnson?" Is Query
Continued from Tuce One
beat Wood easily. Wood representa
tives in this city concede that Johnson
wilt.
The Michigan primaries had a tre
mendous Influence In Ncbrnskn. Up
till the moment Michigan had voted, the
race was close between wood nnd John
son in Nebraska. After Johnson's vic
tory, Senator Norris, who has tremen
dous Influence in his own state, took
the stump for Johnson. Wood virtually
abandoned the state to Johnson, making
no campaign there.
After Nebraska, things are not going
to be so easy for the California senntor.
He will probably not win New Jersey
nnd he will probably not win Indiana.
But he will probably run Wood fairly
close in New Jcrtey and ho will prevent
Wood from getting the delegates In In
diana, where, to obtain instructions, n
candidate must get a majority ot all the
votes cast.
Johnson Is a Real Factor
If the result follows this line, John
son will enter the convention not
strong enough to nominate himself.
Wood, who will have more delegates
than Johnson, probably cannot be nom
inated over Johnson's opposition. Wood
will hnve less to say about who shall
be nominated than Johnson, because
Johnson hns established himself defi
nitely as the leader of the right wing
of the partv. Wood counts for nothing
in the party organization. If he is not
nominated, his influence goes.
Whether he Is nominnted or not,
Johnson remains leader of his faction,
nn extremely powerful faction, which
once wrecked the party.
Johnson will exercise n veto power
on any nomination that may be made.
That is what all those plans to pur
chase his adhesion by naming him as
vice president or putting up a per
sonal friend of his as head of the ticket
Johnson will certainly veto Wood's
nomination if he is able to do so, and
ho is almost certain to be able to do
o. iio win ,u, - oVcr's Same
' inauon ou "",,. ,,,, k M. ,.
tion provided he writes the platform.
He has shown in the Senate a disposi
tion to nlav in with the old guard. He
i n hnrer from within. Ho certainly
would not veto Knox's nomination.
The party is anxious to pvoid a split;
1912 is a painful memory. It will prob
ably let Johnson do anything but nomi
nate himself in order to avoid a spilt.
Tohnson may name the candidnte and
write Ihe platform if he will be regu
lar. His Interests nre with the old guard.
He shares with them the dislike of
Wood and Hoover. If he loses New
Jersey and Indiana, he will probably
be satisfied to sidetrack the man who
tried to rob him of his Booseelt heri
tage and the man who entered the Cali
fornia primnries against him, nnd to
write the platform for the nominee on
whom he and tho old guard can agree.
If he carries New Jersey and Indiana,
which is improbable, he will probably
Insist upon nominating himself.

Rockefeller Raps
Labor Profiteers
Cnntlnufd from Togo Om
that the solution Is only to be found
when the principle of brotherhood is in
troduced the brotherhood of men and
of nations, based upon the fatherhood of
God.
"The churches arc charged with that
responsibility. This surely is not a task
which finnll fragments of the church can
cope with.
"And so this great Intcrchurch World
Movement hns come Into being, n co
operative effort of the Christian people
of the land, some thirty denominations,
and a far iarger number of denomina
tional organizations, home and foreign
mission publications, education nnd the
like, arc Included in .this movement.
Created By Churches
"There nre those who fenr that this
movement is something which is going
to rise nbovc the churches and domi
nate them. Let me correct nny such
misapprehension. This movement is a
movement created by the churches and
run cnthcly by them.
"Naturally, we will look for efficiency
nnd for economy nnd for great power,
for when 20,000,000 of people co-op-crate
In so great a common purpose
think what they may thus accomplish !
"Tho financial program is one of the
most imnortnnt. nt least one of the very
Important, for before this month Is out
there will be a campaign throughout this
country to raise $330,000,000."
Lauds Movement
Mr. Bockofcllor. before the luncheon.
wrts asked concerning the progress of
the movement.
"It hns met with enthusiasm every
where," he said. "We arc getting in
touch with the business men of Ihe
nation and arc enlisting their interest
and support.
"Everywhere peonlo are realizing the
civic nnd spiritual importance of the
movement.
Mr. Rockefeller, who was attired In a
nlnin business suit, a dark blue coat
and brown xcit nnu, carnen ma own
traveling bag and was as democratic in
appearance and action as any member
of his party.
Some one asked him what he thought
of the railroad employes' walkout, and
he snld the representatives of employers
nnd employes should adjust their dif
ferences on a Golden Rule basis.
Who is your favoritc for the next
President? he was asked.
"There are too many hats In the
ring." he replied. "I am going to wait
until things settle down before choosing
n candidate."
Cure for Radicalism
Dr. B. S. Diffendorfer, another
speaker nt the luncheon, said the
American government was ideal because
it guaranteed to men those personal
liberties which make life worth living,
and which nre tho foundations of hap
piness nnd prosperity.
"The cot of living is a religious
ptcblcm, nud can he solved only as
people cease to be selfish."
So declared Roger W. Babson, a
statihtliian. of Boston, iu his address
at thu luncheon.
"The rnilroud strikes of tho last few
days," he said, "show that industrial
iiroblcms cannot be solved through labor
unions. The whole solution is up to the
influence of the church. The need of
the hour is more religion.
Mr. Rockefeller will speak tonight at
a mass-meeting in the Metropolitan
Opera House.

VARE'PUTONEOVER' MRS. BAKER FAILS
ON HOUSE, CHARGE TO HAMEHER SHIP
Congresolohal Election Addross
Proved Primary Oration,
Dolahy Men Say
CLARK HALTED WRANGLE
Supporters ot Charles Dclany, ad
ministration candidate for Congress in
the Third district, dcclnred today that
Congressman William 8. Vare had
"slipped one over' on the House of
Representatives ar, Washington when he
made his $50,000 "slush" fund sdecch.
The Congressional itccord, they said,
supported their contention that unani
mous consent had been granted to the
congressman to mnko a general address
on coming congressional elections, and
not on a local primary contest.
The Congressional Itccord also shows
that Mr. Vare was therefore called to
account on the floor of the House, The
Record of Arirll 13 shbwB that Mr. Vare
asked the Sppakcr for unanimous con
sent to address1 the Houso the following
day for ten minutes.
The next day, April 14, the Speaker
announced thnt Mr. Vare had been au
thorized to address the House for ten
minutes.
Recalling tho cross-cxaminntlon of
the previous day, Mr. Vare suggested to
the Speaker that in view of the limited
time, he would like to proceed without
Interruption, and promptly started on
his address.
When ho was about half way through,
Mr. Ortrd called out:
Will the gentleman yield?"
"I rtcret thnt T rnnnnt ftnM " n.
plied Mr. Vare. '"I have oniy ten min
utes, nnd I do not want to further en
croach on tho time of the House."
No sooner had the Smith Phllnrlelnhln
representative finished, however, than
Mr. Walsh arose.
"Mr. Speaker, he said. "I desire to
ask tho ccntlcnian from Pennsvlvnnlit.
under a question of privilege, what his
remarks have to do with the coming
congressional election? He stated he
was going to speak on the congressional
election. His entire remarks have been
devoted to a primary contest within a
ccrtnin political party."
"I certainly regard that ns oulte 1m-
portant on tho coming congressional
election," explained Mr. Vare..
"It the gentleman's candidate should
bo nominated." said Mr. Walsh, "of
course it may be important."
"I have no candidate." rcnlled Mr
Vare, who Is backing Harry C. Ranslcy
againsc mr. ucinny.
xnen," said Mr. unish. "I can
not quite see what his remarks have to
dd with the congressional election. Tho
gentleman obtained permission by
unanimous consent to address the Houso
nnd when he wns asked on whnt sub
ject ho said on the congressional elec
tion, nnd when the gentleman from
Ohio asked whether it was on tho sub
ject of the general election or pertaining
particularly to the gentleman's district,
he said it was on the approaching gen
eral election."
"I will 'state again that I regard,
and the Pennsylvania laws also regard,
our primary elections and general elec
tions of equal force," Mr. Vare replied.
Whereupon Champ Clark, of Mis
souri) former speaker, tiring of the dis
cussion, said:
"Mr. Speaker, a point of order. This
whole confabulation between these two
gentlemen is out of order."
"It Is if tho point is raised," ruled
the speaker.

to Matthciv C. Brush, president ot the
American International Shipbuilding

from way number forty-one. It wns the
101st ship to bo launched at the yard.
Tho Jolcc, a merchant ship, was
christened by Miss Baker half an hour
later. This Is said to bo the first tlmo
in history a mother and' daughter chris
tened two ships in the same yard on tho
same day.

very jolly and joked continually at each
other's expense. Miss Baker Is fourteen
years old, and pretty. They -were ac

Sho and Mr. Baker, she said, will be
more than glad to retire from public

foro U. S. Court In IVJoyo
to Punish Gougers
A federal round-up of sugar profi
teers In Philadelphia will begin Monday
or Tuesday.
This announcement was mado today
by Robert J. Sterrctt, United States
nssistant district attorney, who said the
first prosecutions would be against
sugrtr-jobbcrs.
Mr. Sterrctt, who Is In charge ol
sugar prosecutions, said ho had the
names of several profiteering jobbers,
together with cvldenco of violations of
tho Lever act.
Delay In tho issuanco of warrants, he
said, was to allow tho federal agents,
under Harry B. Pierce, ample time to
gather additional proof of tho jobbers'
guilt.
"The first cases will bo test cases."
ho explained, "and we must have the
strongest possiblo evidence against the
gougers to assuro convictions."
The nrrcsts wcro ordered by Frank
B. McClaln. federal fair-price commis
sioner for Pennsylvania, yesterday, fol
lowing the receipt of hundreds of pro
tests from sugar consumers in all sec
tions of the city.
Although tho first prosecutions will
be against jobbers, tho round-up is to
includo refiners and retailers.
MEXICAN TROOPS BARRED
Knox Tells Seriate Request to Enter
U. S. Territory Has Been Refused
Washington, April 17. (By A. P.)
Senntor Knox told tho Senate todav
that ho was Informed that the State
Department had refused the request of
Mexican officers for a permit to trans
port troops through American territory
to move ngnlnst the antl-Carranza
forces in Sonora.
Henry Lnne Wilson, former ambas
sador to Mexico, continuing his testi
mony regarding Mexican affairs before
a Scnntc investigating committee, said
ho believed President Wilson "came to
office with the idea that he had a man
date from the American people to re
verse all the foreign policies ot his
predecessors."
Twenty Mexican federal army officers,
who were stationed at Hermoslllo, So
nora, have asked the Immigration au
thorities nt Nogalcs for permission to
enter the United States in order to make
their way back to Mexico City with
their families. Their request is now
under consideration.
