O. P. CONVENTICN MAY PICK NOMINEE FROM THE FLOOR Movement Said to Have Started Soon After Col. Roosevelt's Death. By C.

C. BRAINERD. (Start Correspondence of The Eagle.) Chicago, March 25-Decidedly interesting among the political reports in circulation here is one that deals with a plan to or organize some 300 delegates to the Republican National Convention into a combination pledged to no candidate, but whose purpose will be to pick the winner after they review the situation at Chicago. This band of 300, according to the plan that has been outlined, will consist of uninstructed delegates from many States. Just what politicians are managing the movement has not been disclosed.

One report has it that this movement was started over a year ago, a few days after the death of Col. Roosevelt. Certain members of the Republican National Committee and other leaders who are not members of the committee held a conference in Chicago. The meeting was in the interest of no particular candidate, but it is understood to have agreed that the 1920 convention should be of an oldfashioned kind and actually pick the candidate on the floor. With this end in view, an agreement was reached that the men in the conference should pledge themselves to back no candidate in advance of the convention.

when the future of the Republican The meeting was held at to time party was uncertain, owing to the death of its most eminent member. All of the men who participated in the conference were said to have acknowledged that Theodore Roosevelt would have swept the 1920 convention had he lived. With Roosevelt removed, they wanted to make sure that the party should move slowly and deliberately and not become committed to any other candidate in advance of the convention. More than a hundred uninstructed delegates have already been chosen in several States, and a many of these are reported to 5,000 in on the combination. Whether an unpledged band can be held together for such project is doubted by a good many leaders, although they a admit that it might make for safe and sane party action next June.

Any such combination will be under attack by the managers of the candidates now in the field, because if it could be held firmly together there would be little question of its ability to pick the can- didate. It is "Mister" Wood Now. The Leonard Wood boomers, whose activities radiate from Chicago, are investing the general with as many civilian characteristics as possible. He is now free to wear civilian clothes and has obtained a temporary release from his military duties, so that from now until the convention he can give his undivided time to his campaign. The soft pedal is being put upon the issue of universal military training, although, of course, the general is not repudiating it.

In order to emphasize the fact that Wood is running as a civilian and not as a soldier, it is becoming the habit around his headquarters here to speak of him as At the same time the Wood people have taken to calling Governor Lowden of Illinois "Colonel" Lowden, thereby reviving a national guard title he once held. The "Mr." Wood and "Colonel" Lowden exchanges are rather amusing to those who visit political headquarters in the Congress Hotel, where there is already as much activity on the part of managers, clerks, stenographers and politicians as there is during a convention. Hitchcock Heads Wood Boom. It is already obvious to the politicians that Frank H. Hitchcock, recently formally recruited to the Wood standard, has become the master mind of the organization that is booming the general.

Col. William Cooper Procter and his aides are still on the in Chicago, and the New York aides of Gen. Wood remain unmolested. But Mr. Hitchcock, whose DEATHS.

A fire recently damaged the church building at No. 6 East 34th street, Manhattan, to the extent of $52,512. sound value of $204,000, only $90,000 fire insurance had been carried, although, under the coinsurance clause, the amount of insurance should have been $163,200. The proportion of $90,000 to 200 made the claim on the insurance companies but $28,962.13, while the church's portion of the loss amounted to $23.549.87. This is but one of the many, examples of under-insurance it is to avoid such experiences that insurance brokers are emphasizing the importance of increasing insurance in accordance with present-day cost of replacement.

Many churches, institutional and other buildings are insured for less half what it would cost replace the building. The fire damage, of necessity, must be repaired at present-day prices naturally follows that the value, for insurance purposes, must be on same basis. this over with your insurance broker.

Gen. Wood himself is, as he has been from the first, actually in command of his own boom. Now that he has a two months' furlough he can handle personally a lot of details that have escaped him hitherto. But frank Hitchcock has become his chief of staff and principal adviser, and is the man through whom all important orders are said to be issued. Mr.

ONE EXAMPLE The Wood and Lowden partisans watch each other jealously out here, and it is daily becoming more apparent that the feeling between the two camps grows in bitterness. Each camp regards the other as the danger spot. Just now the Wood people are Gen.

Wood has far greater strength making de drive to demonstrate that among rank and file of the party than Governor Lowden. They point to Lowden's rather poor showing in the Minnesota primary, and they are banking upon primary results in South Dakota and Michigan further to emphasize their argument. In the Wood camp the prediction can be heard that Lowden will run third in South Dakota and fourth in Michigan, and the claim is made that if such results follow the Minnesota record, the prestige of the Illinois governor will be gravely damaged. Those three States will have voted before the Illinois primary is held, and the Wood people believe that a series of poor showings by Lowden will adversely affect his vote in his home State. They are counting upon such a contingency to help Wood in his Illinois fight, where he has undertaken to contest the preferential primary with Lowden.

Of course, the Lowden people admit no such possibility, although there is no disguising the fact that the Minnesota. result is unsatisfactory to them. They did not expect to win in Minnesota, but they never figured on being last, with Hoover ahead of them. Pershing May Be a Surprise. Reports that reach Chicago are to the effect that Gen.

Pershing, whose name has been filed in the preferential primary of Nebraska as a Republican candidate, is likely to make a strong showing. The primary will be held on April 20, with Pershing, Wood and Johnson in contest. Lowden and Harding, were entered earlier, have been withdrawn. The friends of Gen. Pershing are particularly incensed at the efforts of Gen.

Wood to capture the State from a favorite sc son, and they bear in mind the long-standing military rivalry between the pair. They are determined to carry the Nebraska primary for Pershing, and word reaches here that a real campaign is being made, backed by all necessary funds. Mark Woods of Lincoln, who is at the head of it, is a man of wealth, and he has thrown himself actively into the job. Sproul and Allen as Dark Horses. Republican politicians who are attached to no candidate's band wagon have formed the habit of talking about a dark horse.

Many of them expect a pretty stiff deadlock when the convention meets and believe that all candidates now actively in the field may be forced to withdraw, in favor of a compromise man. The two names most frequently mentioned at this time in connection with such an outcome are those of Gov. Sproul of Pennsylvania and Gov. Allen of Kansas. In this section of the country there is more talk of Allen, who is better known to Middle West Republicans than Sproul.

But the Mid -West politicians are making some inquiries concerning Sproul, and what they have heard thus far impresses them rather favorably. Butler Boom Languishes in West. Some interest is expressed out here in the Republican delegation that will come to Chicago from New York State. The general expectation is that it will divide among half a dozen or more candidates on the first ballot, but there is much curiosity to learn whether New York will ultimately develop a candidate of its own. A few old line Republicans sigh and wish Elihu Root were ten years younger.

Some of them even think that New York may rally around Root, despite his years, but the average politician here regards Root as not being in any way a possibility. The Nicholas Murray Butler candidacy in New York is not taken seriously in these parts. Most of the political workers do not know who Butler is. One of them asked the other day and was informed that Butler received the Republican electoral votes for Vice President in 1912 --the entire eight, "Say, are you kidding me?" he asked, in all sincerity.

SON and DAUGHTERS SHOTS STOP FLIGHT OF ALLEGED BURGLAR Policeman Arrests Two Men After Store Had Been Broken Into. Policeman Schildge of the Snyder ave. station, post early today, saw two men lurking about the doorway of the candy store of Frank Muldowney at 545 Rogers ave. Schildge was on his way to the police booth at Maple st. and Rogers and when he got there he reported the circumstance to Policeman Larry Langler, who was on duty at the booth.

Langler advised him to 80 back and keep his eye open for a glimpse of the men. This Schildge did, but saw nothing until he was relieved at 2 o'clock. Langler then went on post and, concealing his shield and cap number, he went by the store. He saw a sailor standing in front of the place who started to run as he came up. Langler pursued him and fired two shots in the air for the man to stop.

As he ran the policeman warned the fugitive that he would shoot to hit the third time he pulled the trigger. At that the runner stopped. Schildge had heard the shots and ran up. The sailor and another man who was found in a doorway two doors distant were made prisoners. The fanlight of the store was found broken and the door open.

The sailor described himself as Frank Kearns, 19 years of age, of 970 E. 32d st. and the other was described as Fred Roth, 18 years of age, of 871 Fresh Pond road. The sailor was 11 days overdue at his station, a receiving ship Hingham, Mass. The two were charged with burglary.

They were held without bail for action by the Grand Jury. Roth said that the night before he had robbed the gents furnishing store of Louis Lazarowitz at 1082 Nostrand where he got two coats. POLICEMAN RUSSELL GETS 5-YEAR TERM Michael Russell, the policeman of the 4th ave. precinct who was convicted of grand larceny in Arst degree for holding up Nels Anderson, a sailor, in a hallway and robbing $3 and a watch, was today, Supreme sentenced Court by to Justice Sing Sing Fawcett for not less than five years nor more than tepaniel have Donovan, Russell's attorney, the verdict set aside, saying the conviction was brought about by the wave" of sentiment that now exists against the Police Department. "If this were the case of a private citizen or some one not a police officer, there would not have been even an indictment, much less a conviction," said Lawyer Donovan.

Justice Fawcett told Donovan his statement was unfair said: "This is the first instance of the annals of the Police Department, SO far as I can learn, of a member of the force committing highway robbery. Your conviction should not reflect on the members of the force. Your arrest and conviction was brought about mainly through the efficient work of your fellow officers. That should destroy the erroneous impression harbored by protected some people that the organization policemen who were lawbreakers. Such accusations are a grave injustice to the 12,000 splendid men of the force.

The policemen of this city are as eager to secure arrests of crooks in uniform as of other crooks." UNITING MOFFIT VICTIMS L. J. Bershad, an attorney of 299 Broadway, Manhattan, has offered his services gratuitously to the hundreds of Brooklyn residents who claim they were victimized by William H. Moffit, the real estate operator, indicted in New York County and out on bail on a grand larceny charge. Mr.

Bershad is perfecting the organization of the "William Momt Lot Holders Association" and asks all Brooklyn residents who are interested to communicate with him. He said: "I trying to get together the victims of Moffit for the purpose of having Mofft come before us and tell us what he proposes to do. We want him to make restitution to all. There are 2,000 people interested in the recent foreclosure." It is alleged those organizing the association that Mofft, in 1906, sold 1 approximately lots at the rate of from $200 to $400 each to "his special friends." A title, it is asserted, was given in each instance to these purchasers representing that the lots were free and clear of all mortgages. It is also alleged that Moffit mortgaged the property to the extent of $18,650 to Gustave A.

Fritchie, also a resident of this boro. It is alleged that in 1912 when the purchasers of the lots had paid off the full amounts Fritichie presented his mortgage bonds proving that the property was really his and that Moffit had no right to sell it. PLUMBERS ASK $12 A DAY Birmingham, March 25-- Journeymen plumbers of the Birmingham district have served notice that, effective April 1, they will demand $12 a day with double pay for overtime.

Why the investigation into the milk situation has come to an abrupt end, SO far as District Attorney Edward Swann's office is concerned, could not be learned today, but it was believed that a suggestion had been made that milk be transported from the farm to this city in superannuated beer kegs. Mr.

Swann frowned upon the suggestion. The fact that the suggestion was made has been closely guarded secret for three days. Neither District A John Attorney T. Dooling, Swann would nor his discuss in assistant, any manner where the beer kegs for milk proposition originated or who made it. It was learned today, that there will be no prosecution the so-called Milk Trust by District Attorney Swann.

This fact was revealed at the meeting of the Board of Retirement at the Municipal Building this week when Miss Harriet E.

Porritt, one of the teacher members, asked for a report on funds standing to the credit of the system. The books show that whereas according to the law it is mandatory for the city to appropriate 000 annually toward the contingent reserve fund, last year it appropriated but $400,000. However, the city nas paid $74,000 in excess of what was into the account for new enneeded trants so that the amount actually due is about $526,000. It was further revealed that Comtroller Craig, as custodian of the has submitted no report on the fund in his possession since his induction into office on Jan. 1, 1918, although he had been requested to do 80 on several occasions.

It was unanimously voted to request him to report on the funds in his possession as of Jan. 1, last. The following local teachers were retired: Service. Miss Edith V. Crittenden, P.
