PROFK PULLING GIVES 1LECTURE ON "DEMONS" NEWPAR1TY BOOMS FORD NOMiNATION PLATFORM TO CONTAIN THREE PL ANKS;RESERVE BANK ATTACKED) ORGANIZATION AIDED BY LABORITE FACTION1 Resolutions Calling a Convention at Detroit Are Adopted By Group Omaha, Nov. 21.-Resolutions form- lly calling a convention at Detroit, December 12, endorsing Henry Ford, for president on a ticket to be known as that of the "people's progressive party" and outlining three planks of a platform to be submitted to the con- vention, were adopted by the group of progressives, farmers laborites, inde- pendents, and liberals headed by Roy: M, Harrot, national temporary chair- man of the progressive party, here today. Fifteen states were represented ac- cording to a statement given out by Mr. Harrot. The names of those who issued the call, Mr. Harrot said, in- cluded: F. S. Hammond, Elizabeth, N. J.; W. Bennington, Cleveland; and' representatives of the progressive party in the West and South. The three planks of the proposed platform endorsed at today's confer- ence are: To relieve the distress of agriculture and industry; (1) the es- tablishment of a debt paying system of government owned banks instead of the private owned monopoly of mon- ey and credit, the federal reserve sys- tem; (2) making the transportation system a means of public service and not speculative gain, through govern- ment ownership of railroads, same to be paid for at a fair valuation in full legal tender currency; (3), prevent future chaoticunemployment condi- tions and future squandering of nat- ural resources by wasteful and fraud- ulent contracts and subsidies to mon- opoli stnd profiteers through the de- velopment of our natural resources to be paid for in full legal tender is- sued direct by the government. SEINTOR LAD URGES FORD SHOALS PROJECTI Washington, Nov. 21.-A statement urging acceptance of Henry Ford's of- fer for the Muscle Shoals Alabama Power and Fertilizer project was is- sued today by Senator Ladd, republic- an, North Dakota, who also quoted from a recent letter by Bernard M. Baruch, former chairman of the warI industries board, on the Ford offer. Senator Ladd said he had sought Mr Baruch's opinion since the sale of the Gorgas power plant had changed the basis of Mr. Frod's offer. Mr. Baruch believes in the devel- opment of Muscle Shoals as a great industrial plant for the manufacture of nitrogen compounds and fertilizer for use in agriculture, said Senator Ladd. "My own studies have led me to the same conclusion and my investigation made during the past summer in Germany and Norway only the more strongly confirm my belief in the possibilities of the great undertaking at Muscle Shoals for the manufacture of commercial fertilizers. "If there was any other offer more favorable than Mr. Ford's offer, they would not hesitate to accept. Mr. Ford's offer is the only one that pro poses to utilize the opportunities of- fered at this plant." Mr. Baruch in his letter to Senator Ladd referred to his letter of last January to Graysilver, of the Amer- ican farm bureau federation in which he said concerning the Ford offer that "after all it is the ftxing of nitrogen that is the crux of the whole contract. I am quite sure that the contract means to cover this point, but it should be made clear." |-- LAN TO SPEAKON INSTITUTE OF POLITIC~t IWOMAN ARRESTED WEARING f LOOTED) SILK UNDERWEAR Berlin, Nov. 21.-The police picked up a girl on the street as a suspicious character.

They also decided upon a second communication in which they noted the formed crown prince's letter renunclating the throne of Prussia and voiced expectations that the German government will see to itJ that Frederick William faithfully ob- serves the promises made therein. Under those conditions the allies will not insist upon laying hold of the Prince, but they declare the German government must rigidly adhere to its assurance that the return of form- er Kaiser Willam to Germany will not be tolerated This is the first time the allies have agreed upon a question relating to the execution by Germany of the treaty of Versailles since the partition of upper Silesia was referred to the League of Nat'ons two years ago. The unusual sensation of leaving a meeting in full accord appeared par- ticularly agreeable to the members of the council, who came out of the clock- room of the foreign office radiant.r Marshall Foch, who usually passes1 the line of reporters with military dig- nity, stopped to say the cheer word, 'everything is all right.' The agreement was reached py mu- Stul concessions on the part of France and Great Britain. The former with- drew from its stand that the notes' should take the form of an ultimatum and indicate to the German govern- ment the measures to be taken by the, allies if the demand were not met. The British consented to a change in the wording to satisfy objections on the part of the French cabinet. The spirit of give and take which re- sulted in saving the entante is re- garded as the best augury for settle- ment ofthe other question on which Fr'ance and Great Britain are divided, although there appears to be some ap- prehension in French circles as to how parliament will receive the am- bassadors'. conclusion.

CO0MIC OPERA HERE FOR SHOW TONIGHT Hinshaw Brings Excellent Cast For Presentation of Mozart's Masterpiece WILL USE ENGLISH VERSION WRITTEN BY AMERICAN CRITIC SECND TTEMPT TO HALT WALTO N'S EX-GOVERNOR CHARGES CONSPI- RACY BETWEEN KLAN AND LEGISLATORS SAYS HE IS READY FOR ARREST; JURY SILENT Expect Fight Will Go To States Supreme Court For Retrial United "Cosi fan Tutte", Mozart's attrac- tive opera comique, with Irene Wil- liams in the leading role, will be giv- en at 8 o'clock tonight in .Hill audi- torium as the. third concert in the Choral Union series. William Wade Hinshaw, who presented the "Impre- sario" which was so successful here last year, is in charge of the produc- tion. Shortly after Mr. Hinshaw organ- ized the present company for a tour of the country, the Metropolitan Opera company announced it as one1 of their new operas for the season. So great was its success that it was repeated in, New York several times. The English version for the opera was written by the late Henry Ed- ward Krehbiel, dean of American mu- sic critics. The theme of the opera is woven around the assertion that it is wo- man's nature to flirt. The efforts of one man to prove the assertion and two to disprove it, make up the story, with the result of a mirthful mix-up, allowing for unique and even dramatic situations. The cast is made up of able Ameri- can artists who have found great fav- or with the critics in their presenta- tion of this Opera. Elliott Schenck, noted conductor, has been chosen for the position of musical director. Thej characters are cast as follows: Dorabella) ............ Ellen Rumsey ( sisters.! Oklahoma City, Nov. 21.--J. C. Walton failed today in his second ef- fort to obtain federal intervention in the action of the State Senate Court of Impeachment which Monday removed him as governor. Judge John H. Cotteral, in federal court here, reaffirming a ruling hand- ed down at Lawton, Okla., the day be- fore the impeachment trial opened, held that his court had no jurisdiction in the case and sustained a motion by George F. Short, state attorney gen- eral, to dismiss the deposed execu- tive's suit.. Walton entered an exception to the decision and announced that he would appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The former governor sought a re- troactive restraining order to nullify all proceedings of the impeachment courts. He alleged his impeachment resulted from a conspiracy between the Ku Klux Klan and members or the legislature. At the conclusion of the hearing Walton went to the Oklahoma county court house and announced that he expected to be indicted by the district I court grand jury now in session. He said he did not know what the 6harg- es would be but desired to be present to submit to arrest at once. He waited for some time but the grand jury did not report today. SIGA UELTA CHI PICKS UPPING NAI NAL ED "Man's problems of life can only be I solved through his knowledge of the: properties and habits of the 'daemons'l of science," said Prof. H. E. Pulling of 1 the plant physiology department of Wellesley college in a University lec- ture yesterday afternoon in Natural Science auditorium. "These daemons or spirits of sci- ence are still the same as those of old. They have habits, most of which are permanent. The ancients did not. know this; therein lies the secret of our superiority over the scientists oft old. But this knowledge has been costly, as some daemons kill the men who seek to know them better." The lecture was illustrated by a var- iety of slides. Among them was one1 that showed the mathematical relation' 1of the spirits as the ancients knew them: air, water, earth, and fire, and their intermediates, dry, cold, heat, and wet. It was formerly believed that this circle contained some of the fundamental properties of man's mind. Professor Pulling said that instead of calling this the age of industry and progress we should call it an age of dissipation of free enrgy. "It is hard to control the daemons of energy," he said. "Some escape and some lie dormant as potential energy.
