WASHINGTON, May 1.—President Carranza was advised by his
generals at a conference held a few days ago to resign in favor of a
president ad interim whom he or congress should appoint, according

Carranza refused to accept the recommendation, the dispatches said,
but agreed to the withdrawal of the presidential candidacy of

A wrangle developed in the Second
Ward B Democratic convention last
night which was not terminated until
a police offRer appeared.
According to Charles Spreen, pre-
cinct chairman, a warm argument
started over a motion to adjourn.
“Pandemonium broke loose.” according,
to Mr. Spreen, who stated that he had
summoned A. P. Wooldridge, county
chairman of the administration forces,
who brought an officer with him.
Mr. Wooldridge said he had been
told there was a "near-rigt" in the
convention and so took a policeman
with him to restore order.
"When I arrived,” said Mr. Woolf
dridge, "I found that a small faction
was trying to prevent some sixty peo-
pie from carrying out their wishes.
After some difficulty order was re-
stored and the business of electing
delegates was transacted smoothly.”
On the other side, it was stated that
the motion to adjourn was made after
an anti-administration man had sought
to obtain a henring.
Mr. Wooldridge said a complain*
might be filed as a result of the affair,
but none had been made late last
night.

WASHINGTON, May l.— Plans of
radical leaders for nation-wide May
Day demonstrations, involving strikes
and assassination of more than a score
of Federal and State officials,- fell flat,
reports to the Department of Justice
tonight indicated.
Extra precautions taken by Federal
and State authorities to block the rad-
icals’ widely disseminated appeal for
a "May Day show of power” were
described at the department as decid-
edly successful. Publicity given by
the department to the radicals’ plans
in advance also was held to have had
a large part in thwarting disturbances.
Reports to the department men-
tioned a number of strikes instituted
during the day, but In nearly every
case the reporting agent emphasized
that the walkouts were local in nature
and due to the regular May Day ex-
piration of wage contracts.
The appeal of the radicals for a
demonstration hostile to the govern-
ment in behalf of soviet Russia also
was without avail, the reports indi-
cated. Incendiary speeches and de-
mands that the United States resume
relations with Russia were made at
meetings in several cities. Assistant
Attorney General Garvan declared, but
the net result was negligible.
Despite the fact that there were no
reports of attempted assassination of
public officials marked by the radicals,
it was said tonight that the govern-
ment Intended to maintain its guards
chcr the orsns threatened for some
time.
Mr. Garvan pointed out that, foiled
nouncement by him Saturday. The
resignation becomes effective imme-
diately. Mr. Anderson will at once
take up the duties of secretary of the
Austin Elks’ Club, which position was
tendered him several days ago by the
lodge.
Inspector Anderson’s resignation
came after nearly thirty-nine years of

Tho most authentic advices have
been turned in at Bailey headquarters
in Delia* by men from Rieharason,
who stated that they attended the
convention there and that though «•
many as three os tour Bailey men
would be on the floor at one tlm*
seeking recognition from the ehair,
they were entirely overlooked, while
any administration man who at the
same time asked tor recognition was
permitted by the chatr to state what-
ever he had in mind or to otter any
resolution or resolutions he might see
Here’s How They Did It
Probably the most striking instance
of how a majority ot the conventions
seemed to have been conducted comes
from the town of Rockwall and was
told at headquarter by Hon. Tom Rid-
gell. Though beaten overwhelmingly
at his precinct convention, Mr. Rdgel
arrived in Dallas a short time after-
wards still full ot vim and vigor, a* ’
well as tight. He had cast aside his
fighting instincts for the time being,
however, and was in a Jocular mood,
and said:
“Boys, it’s worth going a hundred
miles to see, and especially to partici-
pate. I have never seen anything like
it. I found there more Bailey men and
adherent* at the Fort Worth platform
of principle* than men who represent-
ed the administration force*.' How-
ever, the administration crowd bad
pushed in early and were holding th*
Heats like grim death. The Balley men
were so utterly disgusted that they
turned from the scene and refused to
participate in the proceedings, st tho
same time asserting that they would
do their full part, as would the ma-
jority of other Texans, when it came
to the July primary contests.
“Just to show you how those people
were, I offered a resolution myself en-
dorsing Mr. Hobby for delegate at
large to the national convention. This
was promptly voted down. I then
offered another resolution endorsing
the entire administration and its set*
and this in turn was voted down al-
most unanimously. To cap the climax,
I offered a resolution endorsing th*
Longue of Nations, and to my conster-
nation and surprise it, too, met the
sumo fate as the two previous reso- ■
lutions. I firmly believe it I, being an
anti-administration man, had offered
a resolution dyclaring that we believed -
in the ten commandments, those saz 3
cred precepts would have been voted
down by that awful Rockwall crowd.
I take it that they had been told just . I
what to vote for and, that being done,
and administration delegates selected,
they seemed to have no initiative Indi- 9
vidually whatever as to how they
should vote on anything else except 2
very strongly on the negative side.”

tration forces And the. respective num- -
