i I Democratic Leaders Predict a Deadlock at Convention. SMITH CANDIDACY ADDS TO CONFLICT OF POWERS Leaders Beginning To Take Cognizance of New Yorker. Roosevelt Takes Charge Smith's Campaign Expected To Please Wilson Element. of jnv HOLME.) Washington, 1 May 1, The Democratic convention, which meets in New York eight weeks hence, is due for a protracted period of deadlock and intensive, bitter, struggle eurh as has been witnessed at few. If any, of Democracy's hectic conventions In the past.

Tbls was the well-nigh unanimous opinion prevailing in high Democ- ratio quarters In the capital today. as a result ot the developments that have crystalized with amazing rapidity alnce the sudden and dramatic death a week ago ot Charles Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, and one of the moat powerful single Individuals In the party. Two weeks ago, Democratic leaders were merely fearful they were lu tor a rough lime at Madison Square Garden. Now, tbey are cure of it. For the first time slnre the whis- pers' df "Governor Af'SmRFi candi dacy began to be heard.

Democratic leaders of alt factions were disposed to take It with real seriousness. Others Hurprlscd. The formation of a Smith organization, beaded by Franklin Roosevelt, a "Wilson Democrat," and one of the few men who eevr fought. Murphy and got away with It, provided the complacent Democrats of other factions with a real shock today. Heretofore, the McAdoo men, the I'nderwood wen, the Davis men, the Ralston men and the spokesmen of nearly all minor candidates, liave dismissed the Smith candidacy with a deprecatory wavo ot the hand and simply muttered, "Tammany." They were not disposed to dls miss the Smith candidacy so lightly today.

The death ot Murphy and the draft lug ot Roosevelt, who wti a vice presidential nominee four years ago, and popular with the Wilson element of the party, it was admit ted, has lifted the Smith candidacy from the plane of Tammany and placed it before the party and the country In an altogether different light. Inspired perhaps by the rapid turn of events, Tammany congressmen were.privately predicting about the capltoi today that Smith will give McAdoo battle for supremacy on the first ballot at the convention and that thereafter his "hidden strength" from the unpledged delegates will carry him Into the lead esrly In the game. Only time will! how whether their rosy predictions are true. But at all events. It wss candidly conceded among Democrats today that the candidacy of the New York governor has In the short spsce of one week leaped from sn inauspicious bud into a full blown flower that promises to be featured In many hot-tonholes around Madison Square Garden next June.

DESCRIBES CONDITIONS FOUND IN LUCAS COUNTY Statistics Cited To Prove the Charges Against Justices. Attorney Compares Activities of Commercial Dry Agents with Those of Russian Secret Police. Columbus, May 1. A typewritten report, tossed In tbe mass ot correspondence on the desk of Attorney General Crabbe today, tells of the activities ot the "cheka of America." the ancient courts of Justice of the peace.

The cheka, the dreaded strong arm of secreta police ot Russia, bas a counterpart, it this report is to be credited, in the Justice of the peace courts of Ohio. Tbe report deals only with those in Lucas county, but Attorney General Crabbe has often said that (he conditions there are no different from those which exist in other counties of tbe state. Following the complaint ot Federal Judge Killlts, Toledo, Attorney General Crabbe Instituted an Inves tigation into the manner in which the prohibition laws were being enforced in Lucas county. He sent Attorney H. II.

Griswold, ot his own accompanied W- mom bars ot tha auditing department of the state, to Lucas county, Submits Report. Griswold reported today to the attorney general. He gave no names in the cases specified, for those are in tbe hands ot the county prosecutor of Lucas county. But the la-, stances ot tbe prostitution of law, in order that Justices ot the peace and other officers might make money nnder tbe Crabbe act, were sufficiently Interesting without names. Citing off-hand, the report tells ot such instances as these: "Ten out of twenty-one Justices' courts in Lucas county disposed of cases since Juridsidctlon waa conferred upon these courts for offenses committed within the city limits of Toledo.

i "Of Uiese rases, one Justlc alone handled, or 42.0 per cent, of the total; one justice handled $97, or 29.1 per cent, of the total; one Justice handled S55, or 12. per cent, of the total leaving 495; cases, or 15.7 per cent, of the total disposed of by tbe other seven justices." Compiles Figures, The following figures, compiled by J. C. Tuttle, assistant state examiner, from the records one Justice court alone, are significant as indicating the extent of business done and the large ratio of tbe costs to the fines. In one justice's court, 1,270 cases were tried, and (43,384.

BY JAMEH i. DAVIS.) Secretary of Labor.

'Washington, May 1. For som time past it has been apparent that the Industrial horizon of the world Is slowly brightening, but our own people today are proud to be able to acclaim that America Is "oueeti of the May." In practically all lines In the Uni ted States "May day" dawns upon a 'peaceful Industrial relationship existing between employer and em ploye. The American workman has cause to be happy and Build ing tradesmen in all our principal cities are steadily employed at goo! wages. Petty grievances are being ironed out and in many instances wage agreements. have been signed for periods longer than a year.

These interests are working out satisfactory contracts and a great building program is going forward thioughout the country. Coal production promises to improve from month" to month. A three-year wage afreement recently signed, eliminates the possibility of any serious strikes in the soft coal fields for that period, and the anthracite agreement assures peace in that branch of the Industry for nearly two ytars. Tractlcally all of the railway differences have been settled and to day there Is only an occasional roaj on which the shop craft strike of 1822 has not been terminated. Here and there may be found slight industrial differences between employers and employes, but none of these is of more than local sig nificance.

As secretary of labor, It is a great satisfaction to me to be abla to say to tbe 110,000,000 persons I serve that so far as Industrial relatione are concerned, the country never was in better shape. Daring the month of March the conciliation service of this department promptly and without public notice was successful in settling forty-five trade disputes arising In fifteen different states and involving over 40,000 workers. It is a testimonial of the level-headedness of both men and management In Industry.

Police believe that enemies of the labor leaders placed the explosive In the car, while they were inside the hall, and attached it with wires to the battery. Hospital' authorities held out little hope for either O'Brien or Nestor. Police today admitted they were without a tangible clue to the Identity of the bombers.

They discredited a statement made by Mrs. Nestor, summoned to ber husband's bedside, who said last night: "I know who put the bomb in the car. I have been expecting it for some time." That labor trouble of some kind was responsible for the bombing was believed by police. O'Brien, prominent in labor circles, came to Cleveland twelve years ago from Chicago. Bomb Explosion in Paris.
