CopirloM. by Tm Sc.s and New York Ilraum. Dsnu.v, June 20. Symptoms of Internal disturbances continue to Increase. In addition to the strlko 01 agricultural workurs In Pomerania nnd the almost dally riots resulting In high food prices Qome two important Indications as to the temper cjC the radical labor leadership. One Is the disclosure of the proceed ings of the Independent Socialist Party chiefs In Bavaria preparatory to a general strike which, if authentic, aho.vs that plans for an organised up- rising wero developed almost to tho point of action. The other is an- in- flammatory proclamation of the Spar-tacld- published In Jfcd Flag, the organ of tho Communists. Tho Independent Socialists met at Munich, says Baycriache Courier, and the chairman stated that a general Mrlko surely was approaching. The view was expressed that the last strike had failed because of divided leader- ship, and now that tho Independent So- cialists wero the largest workers' party they must Insist upon receiving sola au- thority. Bavaria was divided Into two strike rones and all Gernjany was aleo dis- tricted. District chiefs were made re- sponsible for closing down all factories, and no distinction was to be drawn be- tween private Industry and public works. Vltal,rnachlne parts were to bo removed and concealed. ' The railroad delegates promised that no 1'ocomotlves would move after the strike was declared. The same guarantee was given by representatives of work- ers In the electrical water plants. Kvery means would be used ro combat etrike breaking by the Civilians' Emer- gency League, and the local militia would have to be disarmed. . Gratification was expressed In the Allies' order to reduce the Relchswehr to 100,000 men. it ama .wiiliwl that In the fevent of a strike the Executive Committee was to disappear, but. If arrested, the strike was to proceed under other leaders. At- tention was called to the danger to tho lives of thousands of mothers and chil- dren If the water was cut off, but one of tho committeemen replied that In the decisive battle for a proletarian victory the lives of a few thousands could not count. The proclamation In the Red Flag, after accusing German capitalists of closing plants and of selling machines Into foreign countries, tnus increasing unemployment, hunger and poverty among German workers,, voices this drastic challenge: \Workers attend your meetings! Get rut and demonstrate! The hour draws tiear. Misery grows from hour to hour, from day to day. Every day you delay means more misery, more destruction; means more suffering and greater dif- ficulties to perform the task of estab- lishing communism. The crisis through which Germany Is living reaches all parts of the world. \It has become a world crisis of cap- italism. And yonder are Russia and your brethren waiting for you to co- operate In tho labor of reconstruction. The world's destiny has been laid In your care. Remember 1 Arise!

This question was settled in n mlnuto as tho com- mittee was unanimous in tho decision that Charles Francis Adams of Boston should bo tho man. Mr. Adams has been handling the Resolute in all her trials this year, and ho was her skipper in 1914, too, when he out- manoeuvred prominent profes- sionals of the typo of Capt. Dennis. Mr. Adams is recognized as tho greatest amateur skipper in this or any other country, and his presence on the Resolute will give her a distinct advantage.

This was made definite and official this evening when the Cup defenco com- mittee of tho New York Yacht Club, headed by W. Butler Duncan, an nounced that the Resolute had been named as tho defender. This action was taken after the trial race between tho Resolute and the Vanltle lato this afternoon. The Resolute was built In 1914 at the Herreshoff yards at Bristol, R. I., from designs mado by Capt Nat T, at an estimated cost of 0. It is figured that more than $100,000 has bpen expended bn the sloop since tho day it was launched. The Vanttle, built at Lawley's from the designs of William Gardner, and the Defiance were entered against the Resolute in a series of eliminations, which wero held in 1914 to decide which of the three would defend against the LIpton boat.

CLUE IN MOTOR ACCIDENT Slain Man in Narrow Escape Week Bcforo His Murder-D- eath Plot Suspected. Acting upon the theory that tho .45 ealbro autornatic pistol with which Joseph Bowno Elwell was slain might havo been concealed somewhere In the Elwell homo at 244 West Seventieth street, four detectives visited tho house yesterday and ransacked it from top to bottom. ' When they left with their clothing covered with ashes and coal dust, it was said the search had been fruitless, and that the most baffling murder mystery which New York had known In many years was seemingly still far from solution. It was said there is a bare chance . of an arrest being made before long, . . M vestlgators had been focussed during the last two or three days. There are, however, several links missing from the chain of evidence that the officials j must havo before they take any such i action. The hunt for the murder gun yester- day was conducted ly members of the staff of Capt. Arthur Carey of the homi- cide squad o the Police Department, who is known ns 'JLast Hope( Carey,\ be- cause of tho many mysteries that have been turned over to him for solution after all other Invcstlsators have failed. Searcher Do, Thorough Job. The searchers arrived at the house In the early morning wearing old clothes and soon matje their presence known to the neighborhood by the vigorous man- ner In which they went at their tasks. First two negroes working In the va-r.t- m house. ar242 West Seventieth street were surprised by b spun like a ripping I and splintering of boards In the building .hat ,, become known as \the house I of mystery.\ Then servants' In the home of Mmc. Anna Fitzlu, operatic star, which Is Just west of the Klwell house, heard a noise which they said sounded like a lot of bricks or stone falling from the roof to the cellar, as well as the sound of coal being thrown up against a sieve. The detectives allowed no one to watch their work and refused to give any details as to the manner In which they went about It, but It was learned that they had examined all of the drains and the parts of the heating apparatus where a gun might .have been thrown hastily ; had sifted all the coal, ashes and rubbish In the cellar and had de- molished every partition behind which tho weapon or any other bit of evidence might have been concealed. In addition they had sounded all the walls for secret panels and had ripped up the flooring In certain places where they had reason to think some article might have been hidden. End to Suicide TUeory. The result of this search seems to dls. pose of forever the theory that Klwell could have committed suicide, and that nnn Vif.1 thn nUtnl ta nvnlrl \ftriin- - dal.\ This theory had been discarded by tho police nnd members of the Dis- trict Attorney's staff, but It still found favor with a few persons. There are Innumerable places where the murderer might have thrown the gun after leav- ing the house, and the police think It quite possible that he, or she, motored through Central Park, only two blocks distant, and threw the weapon Into a clump of bushes. Some of Elwell s racing associates told a story yesterday which may have an Important bearing upon the crime. It Is to the effect that the whist expert and turfman had an experience about a week before his death which gave him the Idea that some crafty enemy was plotting to kill him. m...ii han nprsons saw was hdcciI- - Ing home from the races In his roadster when one of the wheels cams off.

Assistant District Attorney John T. Doollng and other members of the prose- cutor's staff were evasive when niked about the latest developments. Mr. Doo- llng said that District Attorney Swann had been talking with tho person who spoke to Elwell over the telephone at 2:30 OCICCK'On Uie illuming uii irniui the turfman was slain.

Plans for opposing the Administration treaty and Lcaguo of Nations plank wero formulated at an hour's conferenco to- night among William J. Bryan and Senators Walsh of Massachusetts and Reed Their first effort, Senator Walsh said, is to be mado In tho resolutions committee by offering substitutes for tho Administration plank. If defeated in the resolutions com- mittee. Senator Walsh said, It was planned to present a minority report to the convention. The major concern of those in tho movement, the Massachu- setts Senator added, Is to .prevent the commitment of the party to unreserved ratification of the 'present league cove- nant. \Wo discussed several platform planks, principally the treaty and the League,\ said Senator Walsh. \For tho Administration treaty plank It Is pretty' generally agreed that wo shall offer several substitutes, possibly three or four, to tho resolutions committee. They have not been drafted, but our general purpose is to oppose commit- ting the party to unreserved ratifica- tion of tho present covenant.\ If tho substitute planks should be re- jected, Senator Walsh said, the next move would be for presentation of the Issue to tho convention itself. Senator Reed declined to discuss the conference. The three leaders who met In Mr. Bryan's rooms have been regarded as the principal opponents of President Wil- son's courso In the Senate and also as forecast before the convention. Senator Reed In the Senate Joined the Hopubll-ca- n Irreconcllablcs opposlng-th- o treaty, while Senatoi Walsh voted for ratifica- tion with the Lodge reservations. Both made several speeches vigorously criti- cising the league plan, while, Mr. Bryan has snoken for ratification with the ma jority reservations to ald the treaty becoming a campaign Issue. fcflD PLAN K. t UK LlKUUK APPEARS DEFEATED Wets Back Water and Drys Are Afraid. lly a Staff Comtponicnt or Tut Sex ad New York 11 child.

By a vote of 34 to 12 the Democratic National Committed y refused to seat Sen- ator. James A. Reed of Missouri, leader of tho anti-treat- y Democrats In tho Senate, ns a delegate to tho National Convention, although he had been twlco unanimously chosen as\ a dele- gate by the Democrats of tho Fifth Congress district of his State. The vote was a complete victory for tho Administration forces. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, principal representa tlvo of President Wilson at the con- vention, led tho fight against Senator Reed. The committee also voted unani- mously to place tho Palmer delegates from Georgia on the temporary roll of the convention. Although tho Wilson leaders endeav- ored to make It appear that the rejec- tion of Senator Reed was upon purely legal grounds, contending that the de- feat of tho Sena tor by the Missouri State convention nullified tho nctlon of the Democrats of his own Congress district, It was evident from tho speeches that the un derlying reason for tho action was Senator Reed's bitter fight against President Wilson's foreign policy and the League of Nations in particular.

TLANTA, Juno 27, Tho seating of tho Georgia delegates ac- credited to Attorney-Gener- al Palmer at tho San Francisco con- vention will give tho Republicans a heavy vote in this State for tho first time in history. This is tho opinion of close observers of tho political situation, and somo go so far as to predict the Republicans may even carry tho State. Tho victory for tho Palmer forces means tho completo rout of tho Hoke Smith-To- m Watson delegates, and tho Democratic senti- ment of the State was behind them. At tho primaries there wero a fow hundred more votes for Palmer than for Watson, and tho voto for Watson led that for Smith by a small margin. At tho conven- tion tho Smith and Watson cohorts joined forces and elected their own delegates to tho National Convention.' Watson's followers arc certain to remain loyal, and the business men are for Smith. Dissatisfaction of supporters of these men by the ousting of their delegates at San Francisco will havo tho effect, it is believed, of swinging tho heaviest voto ever recorded into tho Re- publican column. Old line Republicans, of course, will follow their party. BRYAN DEMANDS BONE'DRY PLANK - i Will Force Record vole if Liquor Question Comes Up in Convention. 'IT'S PARAMOUNT ISSUE' He Insists on .the Democratic Party Protecting Public in Labor Disputes. San l'RAxctsco, June 26. .\Wets\ and \drys\ continued (o-d- their pre-- conventlon battle, but left the outcome still in doubt. William J. Bryan formally opened Ills fight for a , prohibition platform plank. After hla election by tho Ne- braska delegation to tho resolutions committee ho made a long and vigor- ous address at a luncheon of the Com- monwealth Club on prohibition and other platform questions. Ho de- clared the Democratic party must be \saved from tho liquor Interests,\ nnd predicted utter rout for tho \wets.\ Democratic leaders favoring modifi- cation of the yolstead law confined their efforts to quiet work among State delegations. Several claimed largo afcesslons to a wet. br at least a damp, declaration. Other leaders, how- ever, declared tho platform would be silent on tho prohibition question and wero working toward that end. n'rynn Outlines Intentions. Mr. Bryan asserts that there flould be no compromise on the prohibition question. He said that while an open fight might be avoided, he would force a record vote, both of States and in- dividual delegates, If the liquor question were Brought up In tho convention. It Is the paramount Issue before the Demo- crats. Mr. Bryan said, declared his spe- cial nurnoso here was to have a \dry\ plank Incorporated In the platform an essential to party victory In roem bcr, lie declared. Tho \wets\ wero encouraged by re ports from Southern delegations that hopes of the prohibitionists for a \solid South\ for a prohibition declara- tion were unfounded. They declared 'that the unit rule could not be Invoked on all Southern delegations and that many of tho Southerners wero ready to vote against the prohibitionists. Mr. Bryan told his audlenco y that he sought his place on tho Resolu- tions Committee especially to light for a \dry\ plank. \I'm not sure that we'ro going to have any fight,\ he continued, \but on the wet question, whfch probably will come be- fore tho convention, every man will have the chanco to go ontecord. We're going to have a roll call, and I want every delegation polled, so If any Demo'crat wants to turn the party over to the liquor interests his folks at home will know It.\ Welcomes Minority Report. Mr. Bryan said he would welcome a minority report from tho Resolutions Committee, If necessary, to, bring the Issue Squarely beforo the convention. \When we're through,\ he continued, \tho country will know whether the Democratic party will be tho chattel property of the brewers or whether thoy'll be out of business, never to raise their black flag again. There will be no dodging\ tho .issue, no skulking around as thero was at Chicago. If tho Demo- cratic party isn't willing to speak out after the Supreme Court has withered every argument of the wets It ought to dissolve. Assailing the Republican convention for lta silence on prohibition Mr. Bryan said that if the Democrats wished to get support from 26,000,000 women voters they must declare for continued prohibi- tion. Any break In the prohibition wall, he said, would result eventually In of saloons, gambling halls and dives. Individual candidates were not dis cussed by Mr. Bryan in his address, ex- cept to say that more men wero being discussed for the Presidential nomina- tion than In any previous Democratic gathering. \There will bo more tickets put up and put down In the next few days than .over before,\ said tho Nebraskan. Other platform planks, Mr. Bryan told his audience, would relate to labor and profiteering.

The others conceded that It would be impolitic for him to do it, so Cockran's power of oratory has been drawn on and ho Is ready to \malto the speech of his life,\ ellhcr ln committee or on tho floor of the convention. He will offer not only a plank thought to bo suffl- -' clently wet, but u plank calling In some way for lecognltlon of Ireland's fight for Independence. The plank of dampness probably will outlaw the saloon and promise enforcement of the Volstead act and favor beer and light wines. Cockran will also make a speech putting Gov. Smith In nomination, according to the present plans. Bryan has his own personal griev- ances. In addition to the very sincere belief that Wilson has steered tho party upon the rocks, he regards the party leadership as rightly his own. Having sponsored the Wilson candidacy at Bal timore, he naturally thinks the Admin- istration support should have continued With him, but hq was forced out of tho Cabinet, and since then he feels that the Administration men have lost no opportunity to belittle and even to In. suit him. And Bryan Is an Indian for revenge. Wilson domlnatea the conven tlon, anu yet that nomination has n weakness that may encourage a revolt so far spreading ns to eliminate Wilson' from control altogether. Convention In Fear. it Is not the domination of per sonal popularity, as was Boonevelt's. It Is tho domination of fear and of ne- cessity. The convention must move nlong with Wilson or must move .along against him. It fears to do cither. It probably therefore will do tho former. Still understanding that Wilson wants a renomlnatlon, wants it handed to him upon a platter, the delegates aro almost In the frame of mind to' rebuff him there while giving him everything else he may demand. That decision seemB almost too deep for this particular set of Demo crabs. Mr. Wilson's receptivity seems so plain that to deny him another lead ership would be puDiiciy to repudiate him. Tho whole situation Is terrifying to well minded Democrats, for the party Is In a clove hitch. It may be fatal to follow Wilson. But It Is death to refuse, Accordingly the convention, made up as It Is of odlce holders and the personal elements growing out of eight years of rmrty patronage.
