Chicago, May 14.--Demand . for a, Republican national convention this fall was made by several senators of the United States upon the Repub­ lican national committee. A proclamation to this effect was the net result of the three days' con­ ference held in the Congress hotel. The plan of the senators, headed by 'Albert J. Cummins of Iowa, !s to change the rules of the Republican or­ ganization machinery in such manuet" as to answer the charges of a "stolen convention"--the cry that went up in the Chicago national Republican meet­ ing of a year ago. The changes desired by the sena­ tors are these: Cutting down the basis ef repre­ sentation from the southern states to representation of the Republican rote and not on general population. Pelegate contests to be settled by the states and not arbitrarily by the national committee. Direct elections of delegates to na­ tional conventions giving, indorse­ ment to primary elections in a na­ tional sense. The proclamation given out after the conference adjourned Monday fol­ io**: "At an informal conference of Re­ publicans from eleven states, held in Chicago May 12, 1913, It was Toted that it would be submitted to the na­ tional Republican committee as the opinion of those present that a na­ tional convention of the party should be held this year at as early a date as may be practicable. The purpose 1b to confrider the expediency of changing the' basis of representation in futurs conventions so that delegates shall proportionately represent. Republican voters and not general population. "This is to the end that the will of the members of the party may be more accurately determined. Also tor the purpose of changing the rules relating to delegates and members of the national committee so that the primary election laws of "the various states shall be recognised and hate full force. "Also for the purpose of making MiCh otljer changes in the methods ef conducting national conventions and campaigns as shall conduce to giving the utmost possible effect to the prin­ ciples and policies of the party. "It was further the opinion that tnCh a convention might properly and usefully take any other action desir­ able to reunite the party and to give assurances that it stands for con­ structive and progressive activities in the affairs of government to the end that the common welfare may be ad­ vanced. > It was the unanimous belief of those present that the changes sug­ gested should be made forthwith and that the national committee be strong­ ly urged to take steps to such an end" Lawrence Y. Sherman, setiktor from Illinois, who presided over the conference, was authorized to name a committee of three to present the proclamation to the executive com­ mittee of the party national organiza­ tion in Washington on May 24. The official statement issued was prepared by a committee composed qt Robert Lace, former lieutenant governor of Massachusetts; Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, Senator W. S. Ken- yon of Iowa, W. F. James, state sen­ ator of Michigan; J. A. Troutman, state senator of Kansas. Senator Borah protested, but wis voted down by his associates. Senator Cummins and Herbert S. Hadley, former governor of Missouri, answered the objection of national committe«nen to the convention Idea. They do not believe the committee has the power arbitrarily to change the rules of the party. & • •r. h/". 'J? • * m? yip* =V. u II g.

W\ ' X ; ' PHTB HE HIT UNITED 8TATE8 EXPERTS CAN­ NOT INDORSE FRIEDMANN'S VACCINE. GIVES WARNING TO PATIENTS Phyddim Declare experiment* Far "Do Not Justify Confidence In Remedy Whfoh Has Been Inspired by Widespread Publicity* / ̂ Washington, May 12.--In the opin­ ion of the - government surgeons who have been Investigating the condition of patients that were Inoculated by Dr. Frederick F. Friedmann with his tuberculosis vaccine the observations do not Justify that confidence in the remedy which has been inspired by the widespread publicity giten the "cure." This first official conclusion from the tests was announced here Satur­ day before the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu­ berculosis by Dr. John F. Anderson, director of the government'® hygienic laboratory, and Dr. A. M. Stimaon, another public health surgeon, who were assigned to observe the prog­ ress of the Friedmann patients at Mount Sinai hospital in Ntew York. "We believe that at the present time," says their report, "we are not in a position to express an opinion based on the conditions under obser­ vation. The disease for which the remedy is used Is prolonged and is characterized by periods of advance­ ment and retrogression. It is also one in which psychic influences are a pow­ erful factor. Time is therefore neces­ sary to evaluate properly the effect of therapeutic measures. Without pre­ senting in detail the condition of pa­ tients under observation, we are in a position to state that the facts thus far observed do not justify that con­ fidence in the remedy which iigf been inspire*} by widespread publicity. "In out1 opinion harm may have been done by this undue publicity in bo far as It has lessened the confi­ dence of tubercular persons In well- recognized methods of tjpatment or Interrupted their use, and we are con­ strained to advise against any lessen­ ing of those well-known measures which not only had effected cures but which have reduced the incidence of the disease. "In our series of* patients. Dr. Fried­ mann has almost exclusively made use of the intramuscular method alone In pulmonary cases, and a very con­ siderable proportion of them have either developed no» considerable In­ filtrate at all or have suffered from abscess formations. It is evident, therefore, that a very consideable por­ tion of these patients, may expect their treatment at the hand of Dr. Friedmann to extend over a long period. "Concerntag> the cultures submitted to us, we may state that a series of experiments is under way. The bacillus has been found to be an acid test organism having having proper­ ties quite different from those of any tubercle bacillus with which we are acquainted. "We requested Dr. Friedmann to furnish us with a large amount of this material for examination, but this he has declined to do. We state, however, that living add fast bacteria are being injected by the in- stramuscnlar and Intravenous meth­ od, although we are ignorant of what medium they are suspended in of what additional substance or sub­ stances may be contained in the final mixture."

PROTEST FILED BY President Declares Through1 Bryan That He Is Ready to Co-operate With California In Systematic Ef­ fort te Correct Any Existing Evils* Washington, May 13.--The federal government's final effort to delay alien land owning legislation in California was made Sunday when Secretary Bryan, in the name of President Wil- son; telegraphed Governor Johnson notifying him that the Japanese am- gassador had earnestly protested against the bill passed Dy the Califor­ nia assembly and urging that the governor postpone action by with­ holding his signature. The statement in full Is as follows: "The president directs me to ex­ press his appreciation of your courtesy in delaying action on the land bill now before you until Its provisions could be communicated to the Japanese gov­ ernment and considered by it "His excellency,'Baron Chinda, has on behalf of his government, pre­ sented an earnest' protest against the measure. As you have before you but two alternatives, viz; to approve or to veto, it will avail nothing to recall to your attention the amendment sug­ gested to the legislature and as the president has already laid before you his views upon the subjeot, It is un­ necessary to reiterate them." "He passes over questions affecting treaty rights for two reasons. First, because the bill passed by the legisla­ ture IS avowedly intended to conform to treaty obligations, and, second, be­ cause ' any Conflict complained of Would be a matter for the courts, but The president feels Justified in ex­ pressing again his desire that action on the subject be deferred for this uesslon, and he expresses the desire the more freely because the legisla­ ture can be reconvened at any time if the welfare of the state requires It. He Is fully alive to the importance of removing any root of discord which many create antagonism between American citizens and the subjects of Oriental nations residing here, but he is impelled by a sense of duty to ex­ press the hope that you will see fit to allow time for displomatlc action. The nations affected by the proposed law are friendly nations--nations that have shown themselves willing to co» operate In the establishment of harmonious relations between their people and ours. "If a postponement comments Itself to your judgment the president will be pleased to co-operate in a systematic effort to discover and correct any evils that may exist in connection with land ownership by aliens."

'1 am glad of the opportunity to tell of the good Grape-Nuts has done for me," writes a N. H. man. "For many years I was unable to eat even a light bre&kfadl without great suffer­ ing. "After eating I would suddenly be seised with an attack of coUc and vomiting. TMa would be followed by headache and misery that would some­ times last a week or more, leaving me so weak I could hardly sit up or walk. u8ince I began to eat Grape-Nuts I have been free from the old troubles. I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more tiroes a day, taking it at the beginning of the meal. Now i can eat almost anything I want without trouble. "When I began to use Grape-Nuts 1 was way under my usual weight now t weigh 30 pounds more than I ever weighed in my life, and I am glad to speak of the food that has worked the change."
