Texas Votes Today For
Or Against Wilson At
Precinct Conventions
COUNTY DELEGATES
ONLY QUESTION TO
BE SETTLED TODAY
No Ballots to Be Cast and
Governorship Not Yet
an Issue
Woodrow Wilson and the democratic
national administration will be on trial
in Texas today. The voters of the State
will say whether they indorse Wilson and
the war work of the democratic party
or whether they will repudiate thern.
This is admitted to be the only issue
before the voters. The issue will be de-
cided in precinct conventions, held in
every precinct in the State. In Harris
county the convention# will be held at 8
p. m. in every voting precinct in the in-
corporated towns of the county, including
the city of Houston, Harrisburg, Mag-
nolia Park, La Porte. South Houston and
I'nrk Place. The Humble convention also
will be held at 8 p. m., although the town
is not incorporated. All pro-administra-
tion delegates in Houston have been
called to meet at the convention places
promptly at 7:30 so as to insure proper
organization for the meeting at 8 p. in.
N A convention gf the voters will 'be held
in every voting precinct in an unincor-
porated town, or in the rural districts of
the county at 2 p. m. Chairmen have
been uppointed by the county democratic
executive committee to preside over these
conventions. Their names are given be-
low in this article.
Who May Participate.
A convention will be held at every poll-
ing place both in the city and county.
The voters who are qualified to vote at
those places in regular elections are qual-
ilied to take part ia the conventions at
these voting plac>s Saturday night, and
they only are so qualified. This applies
only to democrats, of course, as the re-
publicans have made other arrangements
for their conventions, which also will be
held Saturday.
As indicated the conventions will be
held at the usual voting places. For in-
stance/ the convention for precinct No. 1,
commonly known as First ward A, will
be held at fire station No. 3 on Houston
avenue, where it has been the custom
of the voters of that precinct to cast
their ballots.
How Conventions Will Work.
These conventions are just as their
names indicate—conventions. The meet-
ing will be called to order by the chair-
men and the business transacted will be
detrained entirely by the voters who
may be in attendance. It ia probable
that all action will be taken by standing
vote, although if the meetings so decide
written ballots may be cast.
The purpose of holding the conventions
is to select delegates to the county con-
vention, which in turn will select dele-
gates to the State and congresional dis-
trict conventions, which in turn will se-
lect delegates to the national convention
at San Francisco.
In selecting the delegates the precinct
conventions may and, no doubt most of
them will, adopt resolutions instructing
the delegates as to how they shall vote
on the issue of endorsing the Wilson
administration, which has been raised by
the Baileyites.
No Candidate at Issue.
However, the conventions in no way
will pass on the governor's race and
Joe Bailey's candidacy for governor nor
that of any other candidate.
It is more than probable that many
men who will vote for Bailey for gov-
ernor in the primary in July will not
vote with the so-called "Bailey side" Sat-
urday night. If they do so they will
vote to repudiate President Wilson and
the democratic party, while they can
very well uphold Wilson in the con-
ventions Saturday night nnd still vote
for Bailey for governor when the
election for governor is held in July. The
sole issue Saturday is Wilson or anti-

VIENNA, April 30.—Anti-Jewish
demonstrations by German students con-
tinued in a more serious form Friday
and were also directed against other stu-

"down with the Jews," mingled with
"'down with the reds."
The students of the university gathered
and occupied a position near one of the
colleges, the young men being armed
with sticks and their leaders carrying
swords. Jews were attacked violently
when they entered lecture rooms and
were compelled to leave. A Jewish war
kitchen also was raided. During the dis-
order there were cries of "long live the
Hapsburgs," and the old national anthem
was sung. Police forces were stood off
Wil son, with certain anti-Wilson men for a time and were forced to draw their
going under the name of Bailey partisans.
Bailey will not be voted on one way or
another.

convention. The chairman will have this
information available, and the number
for each precinct is given below.

administration or one opposing it will
be elected.
Every qualified voter is eligible to par-
ticipate in the convention in his home
precinct. The chairmen of the meetings

PARIS, April 30.—An economic con-
ference between delegates representing
France and Germany were arranged yes-
terday by Tremor Millerand and Dr.
Goeppert. It probably will be held in
Paris at an early date, depending upon
the arrival of the Germans.
The conference is the outcome of the
conversations Premier Millerand had with
Dr. Mayer, the German charge d'affaires
here, which were interrupted by the en-
try of the German troops into the neutral
zone of the Rhineland.

Associated Press Report.
CHICAGO, April 30.—Sixty more sus-
pects were rounded up by the police Fri-
day in a continuation of the pre-May day
drive that resulted in the arrest of more
than 300 men and several women Thurs-
day. One of the men who gave his name
as John Juck, was arrested while dis-
tributing hand bills announcing a May

revolt by "the revolutionary proletariat,"
the police said.

union and the International Association

imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs, Kate
itichards O'Hare, Tom Mooney and oth-
er prisoners confined as a result of po-
litical and other disturbances."
The national association committee, in
a statement issued, said that whatever
disorders might occur Saturday would be
caused by the "insane and criminal dis-
covery of Mr. Palmer's dime novel plot."
Socialists were advised to carry out
their plans for meetings and to "refuse
to be stampeded by the anarchistic out-
breaks."

Washington Sees No
Nation-wide Move
Associated Press Report.
WASHINGTON, April 30.—After
checking over their reports from all parts
of the country government officials ex-
pressed confidence Friday night that
threatened May day demonstrations by
radicals would not result in any nation-
wide attempt at violence.
While taking that view of the situa-
tion the department of justice renewed
its warning to local authorities every-
where that if the radical elements were
to be kept under control, every law en-
forcing agency, State and federal, must
be awake and equal to the dangers, real
and fancied.
Assistant Attorney General Garvan,
who directed raids on communists and
communist labor party headquarters in
January, declared as he went home for
the night, reports indicate whatever vio-
lence occurred would be sporadic.
Radical Activity.
Most of these reports showed that
the radicals were preparing gigantic
propaganda demonstrations. Meetings
are scheduled in many places, and it is
at these that trouble may develop, ac-
cording to Mr. Garvan. The department,
he said would allow "these gatherings to
talk themselves blue" but government
agents would observe the tenor of agi-
tation. Agents have been instructed
"not to incite or excite trouble in any
such assembly."
It was disclosed by Mr. Garvan that
several members of congress, three fed-
eral judges and an attorney recently ac-
tive in investigating radical disturbances,
had been marked for assassination. With
the early discovery of the plots, how-
ever, Mr. Garvan believed the officials
against wh6m lives the plots were di-
rected now are amply protected.
Appeals Fall Flat.
Appeals of the communist labor lead-
ers for May day strikers appear not to
have met with a kindly reception, al-
though there were threats of strikes in
some sections. Thousands of workers
may lay down their tools, hut Mr. Gar-
van believed this would be more in the
nature of a declaration of a holiday than
with a malicious intent to cause a great
interruption to industry.
Mr. Garvan called attention to the
apparent unlimited amount of money em-
ployed by the communist-labor party in
fomenting disorders, declaring that at no
time in history had a radical movement
been so plentifully financed. He traced
the source of these funds to Amsterdam
and thence to Russia-

V C NGTON, April 30.—A joint
re ^ i proposing repeal of resolutions
b V ess declaring a state of war with
jy and Austro-Hungary, was re-
t out Friday by the senate foreign
reic ions committee by strict party vote.
Introduced by Senator Knox, repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania js a substitute for
the republican resolution recently passed
by the house, the measure was formally
presented to the senate late in the day
by Senator Lodge, republican leader, with
the announcement by Senator Knox that
he would open debate on it Wednesday.
Long Discussion Predicted.
Leaders of both parties predicted sev-
eral weeks of discussion with little pros-
pect for action until near the time set
for a recess for national conventionSi In
some quarters the opinion was expressed
that President Wilson, in the midst of
the debate, might return the treaty of
Versailles to the senate.
Virtually solid democratic opposition
to the substitute was proposed by leaders
of the party. Senator McCumber, repub-
lican member of the foreign relations
committee who did not attend the meet-
ing, said he and probably oth<tr repub-
licans would oppose. The vote on the
Knox resolution was 9 to 4.
Shields Absent.
Senator Shields, democrat, of Tenness-
see also was absent. Republicans said
it was designed to meet objections raised
in the house that a resolution declaring
the war ended would be unconstitutional
and beyond the power of congress.
Straightout repeal of the war resolu-
tions is the principal object of the Knox
substitute, which would request the presi-
dent to establish friendly diplomatic and
commercial relations with Germany and
with "the governments and people of
Austria and Hungary." + w
Under the resolution all properfy of
the German government and of •'ierman
nationals which has come into possession
or under the control of the American
government would be retained until Ger-
many had by treaty made provision
satisfy all claims against the German
government by American citizens growing
out of the war.
Germany also would he required to give
further undertaking by treaty for grant-
ing to American citizens most favored
nation treatment in all matters affecting
residence, business, profession, trade,
navigation, commerce and industrial prop-
erty rights and confirming to the United
States all fines, penalties, forfeitures and
seizures imposed or made by the United
States during the war, whether in respect
to the property of the German govern-
ment or German nationals.
The resolution also set forth that while
the L'nited States has not ratified the
treaty of Versailles, it would not waive
any of the rights, privileges, indemnities,
reparations or advantages to which it
and its nationals have become entitled
under the armistice or any extensions or
modifications of the armistice or which
under the treaty of Versailles have been
stipulated for its benefit.
The substitute resolution omits the
house provision requiring Germany to ac-
cept its terms within 45 days under pen-
alty of trade embargoes, also omits pen-
alties for its violation which were in-
cluded in the house measure.

By Leased Wire to The Houston Post*
WASHINGTON, April 30.—Informa-
tion regarded as of the most reliable
character has been received in Washing-
ton to the effect that President Carranza
is preparing to flee from Mexico.
The government was so much im-
pressed with this intelligence that it is
understood to have sent instructions to
federal agents along the border to closely
watch for the appearance of Carranza.
MME. CHRISTI ANE EYMAEL.
Dazed By American Energy,
Freedom of Her Women,
How Things Are Done
By MME. JULIETTE GREBIN.
Madame Christiane Eymael, the noted
dramatic soprano, who will give a pro-
gram of well selected songs, represent-
ing composers of many nations, at the
city auditorium Tuesday evening for the
benefit of the American Legion, is in
Houston. Madame is unmistakably
French—not the popular, preconceived
idea of a Frenchwoman—dark, vivacious,
shrugging shoulders, and interjecting fre-
quent "Oh, la-la's," but a distinguished
looking blonde, possessing that undefi-
nable "something" that places the wo-
men of France into a class by them-
selves.
Talking to a representative of The
Houston Post Thursday afternoon Mad-
ame Eymael described her remarkable
experiences through the war and gave
many interesting and vivid pictures of
her impressions of America. She spoke
in French—occasionally using a droll
American expression to emphasize a
point.
Purpose of Trip to America.
"I came to America to learn as well as
to teach. To my astonishment I found
I had a great deal to learn. We French
people are so self-centered, our chauvin-
ism prevents us from taking a suffi^gnt
interest in other countries. Don't you
think it is a great pity that civilized
nations know so little of each other?"
inquired the French diva.
"I am absolutely dazed by the things
I discovered in this country, and my
respect for it is simply boundless. The
wonderful energy of the American na-
tion, the absolute independence of the
women, the simplicity and quickness
with which things are being done here—
have won my heart. A country that can
influence its people for good to the
extent of adopting prohibition is surely
great," added Madame.
Madame Eymael was born in Brussels
of French parents, and received her mu-
sical education under the famous teach-
er Engel. She rapidly achieved great
success and became one of the stars at
the Paris opera as well as a favorite so-
loist of the well known Colonne concerts
in France.
Sang on Eve of War.
In 1914 she sang at Ostend, Belgium,
and her last performance was on the
night when Kaiser William's proclama-
tion of war, leading to the invasion of
Belgium, was loudly read outside the hall
where Madame was singing the stirring
"Marseillaise." She was one of the refu-
gees from Belgium and traveled several
days and nights in a freight car with
scarcely a thing to eat. During the war,
Madame, like most of her compatriots

Associated Press Report.
AGUA PRIETA, Sonora, April 30.—
Chihuahua City, capital of the state of
the same name, is definitely in the hands
of the revolutionists, it was announced
by General P. Elias Calles Friday night.
Chihuahua City is one of the largest
cities in Northern Mexico. It has a pop-
ulation of approximately 40,000.
General Ignacio Enrique, candidate
for governor of Chihuahua, ac-
cording to General Calles, waa
at Santa Ysabel with 4500 state
militia, marching toward Chihuahua to
reinforce General Eugenio Martinez and
Colonel Francisco Arco, former federal
commanders who deserted with their
troops.
Telegraphic communication was estab-
lished between Chihuahua City, Santa
Ysabel, Hermosillo, capital of Sonora,
and military headquarters here shortly
before 7 o'clock Friday night. General
Calles said he was in direct communica-i-
tion with General Enrique.
Americans Authorized
To Pay Sonora Tax
Associated Press Report.
' WASHINGTON, April 30.—Americans
doing business in the state of Sonora and
other parts of Mexico controlled by the
revolutionists, have been authorized to
pay taxes and customs duties to the de
facto authorities.
The authorization, it was explained
Friday at the department, is in accord-
ance with a recognized principle of inter-
national law and does not amount to rec-
ognition of a de facto government. The
principle has been observed on several
occasions in Mexico, notably when the
Carranza revolution started and his
forces obtained control of ports. Ina-
bility of the recognized government of
Mexico to collect duties and taxes in ter-
ritory held by the revolutionists, it was
said, can not be permitted to interfere
with regular commercial transactions.
The state department received an ex-
haustive report Friday on conditions in
Vera Cruz. Although Vera Cruz was
said to be quiet, possibilities of trouble
there were described as great.
Official advices Friday from various
parts of Mexico indicated a steady growth
of the revolutionary movement and rapid
co-ordination with the Sonora revolt of
many of the rebel bands which have been
operating independently. The possibility
of General Obregon taking the field in
person for an attack on Mexico City was
forecast in the reports, which said that
the rebels of Michoacan, Guerrero and
Morelos had declared themselves a unit
of the Sonora army.
V
Louisiana Sugar Men
May Not Be Prosecuted
Houston Post Special.
WASHINGTON, April 30.—Increased
costs and short production were con-
trolling factors in the agreement by the
department of justice, that Louisiana
sugar producers would not be prosecuted
if they sold their 1919 crop at 17 and
18 cents a pound, the house judiciary
committee' was told Friday by Henry
Mooney, United States district attorney
at New Orleans.
Last year's crop was only 43 per cent
of that in 191&, he said, adding that in
the latter year the sugar equalization
board had ffxed 9 cents as a fair price
for the large crop. Chairman Husted
remarked that the agreement apparently
permitted the same net profits on the
short crop as on a normal yield.
Dalzell Named to Head
Cotton Traffic Bureau
F. R. Dalzell, for many yeajs con-
nected with the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe railroad as assistant general freight
agent in Galveston, has been appointed
head of the new traffic and freight bu-
reau in the Houston Cotton Exchange
and Board of Trade.
E. L. Neville, president of the ex-
change, on Friday announced that Mr.
Dalzell would handle matters pertaining
to rates that affect Houston as a cotton
trading center. The department that Mr.
Dalzell will .head is a new departure fop
the exchange and cotton business of
Houston. It is expected that much bene-
fit will be derived, from this specialized
branch with Mr. Dalzell in charge.
