Thirty-two subjects, or virtually all the features Of the Chicago platform, will be considered by the Progressives at their open con ference on Friday, according to a pro gram mapped out today by Representa tive Victor Murdoch. Bills On' all these subjects also will be prepared for in troduction at the coming session. Besides, provisions for a scientific, nonpartisan tariff board and a minimum wage scale, the Progressives will open a determined." fight in behalf of the women of the country, for whom they will ask the suffrage, an eight-hour day and prohibition of work at night Other important features in their pro gram w II be: Presidential preference primary.

Creationist an industrial commsision. for the supervision of industrial cor poration in inter-State commerce. To prohibit Federal appointees hold ing office in any State or national po litical organization. For an eight hour day in continuous 24-houf industries. For the acquisition and construction by the Federal Government of rail roads in Alaska. Another jneasure which the Pro gressives deem of great importance is described by them, in brief, as follows: "To provide that every decision of the highest appellate court of a State de claring an act of the I.ehgislatarc un-, constitutional on the ground of ks violation of the Federal Constitution sha 'I be subject to the same review by the Supreme Court of the United States as now is accorded to decisions sustain ing such leg'slation.'l Equally important, they assert, will be a bill to prohibit the issuing of in junctions in cases arising out of labor toidjaputes, when such jajuaeaiona dbdrftpailiiular'- text, nor did they rain not anr.1v where no larmr Hiau not aply wTiere ii5 falter disputes existed. Several efforts have been made on previous, occasions to insert this provision in the Sundry Civl bill, but without avail.

Thework of preparing these measures will be divided among the 18 House- members of the Progressive party. The open conference will be held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon in one of the large rooms of the House Office Build ing. . Luck in Disguise.

MISS WISSLER GIVEN MEDAL Numerous Floral Offerings Cov ered Graves Of The Two Clansmen. Hillsville, Va., March 31. The final chapter of the Hillsville tragedy was orougnt to a Close yesterday afternoon when in the presence of 5,000 people the funeral services of Floyd and Claude Allen were held in the family burial luiot one mile from the home of Floyd Allen at the foot of. the Blue Ridge Mountain. In spite of the heavy clouds which continued all day and a slight rain which fell throughout the afternoon, people traveled more than thirty-five miles to attend the dual funeral of the men who paid the death penalty The bodies arrived at the late home of Floyd Allen Saturday afternoon at 6 o'clock. A short while afterwards the caskets were- opened and members of the family viewed the faces of their loved ones. As early aa 9 o'clock yesterday morn ing the crowd commenced to gather. They came in conveyances, astride and on foot. Many came from Grayson, Wythe and Carroll Counties, scores of them coming distances of twenty-five miles or more. By noon the crowd was enormous, and it was conservatively estimated at 5,000. At 2 o'oclck the caskets were brought out of the home and placed in wagons to be cotweeyed to the burial plot A few minutes later the-long procession started "the Journey to the last rest ing place of Floyd and Claude Allen, father and 'son. The burial plot is located one mile from the AUen home in a cultivated field, and occupies a space on the top of a ridge. A few yards away from the burial ground is the home of Wil liam Jones. The caskets rested in the yard surrounding this home. The funeral services were then con ducted by the Rev. Floyd Zens and the Rev. Mr. Monday, both Primitive Baptists. Both Ministers made five minute talks, out did not take any dwell upon the circumstances which led to the deaths of the Mens. They were followed by the Rev. J. T. Smith, a Baptist missionary, who . spoke for fifteen minntes. Immediately following the services the vast crowd was permitted to view the remains, and for one hour the people passed around, the caskets and Viewed the bodies. The crowd then left and the bodies were borne to the burial plot. A brief burial service was read, and the bodies were consigned to their graves, Test ing side'by side. Mrs. Floyd Allen, Jack Allen, Victor Allen, Garland Allen, and the entire family connection -attended the fune ral . Mrs. Allen was prostrated with grief, and was unable to leave her carriage. Miss Nellie Wissler, Claude's fiance was in attendance, and stood at the head of the grave throughout the ser vices. When the services were con cluded, and they were ready to close the casket, the medal which was given Claude, was taken front his breast and handed to Miss Wissler. She was completely brok?n and wept aloud during the service. She is now the guest of Mrs. Floyd Allen. After the graves were filled Miss Wissler placed flowers upon Claude's grave. The floral offerings were numc roue and elaborate, being sufficient to cover both graves It was nearly 5 o'clock when the Allen family started for their homes.

On George Street At Pres ent Time. The regular monthly meeting of the' Board of Aldermen was held last night and a number of matters of considerable interest were disposed of. One of the most important matters brought up was that of publishing a' volume containing the city, charter,; all the franchises which, have been if past ycaTs and numerous titers of jntcrest to the city. he dfefajfor this book has been com piled by rR. A. Nunn, city attorney, and is now ready for publication. Upon motion it was decided to have this book printed and the city clerk was ordered to advertise for ten days for bids for doing this work. The oilers employed at the city's electric light and water plant petitioned the Board to increase their wages from twelve and one half dollars a week to fifteen dollars. After considering the matter and " upon the motion if Alderman T. F. McCarthy, the Board decided to grant their request. H. P. Willis engineer at the plant ap peared before the Board and stated that the two firemen, now employed at the water nd light plant had more work than they were able to do and asked that another man be em ployed to assist them. This request was also granted. R. R. Eagle, city engineer appeared before the Board and stated that unless iomcthing was done it woul be useless to place curbing along George street. That the street was higher than the. T wlcwalk and unless the latter was rasjmjlcsstood they were listed in a private or the street lowered, it would not; , Wjset of accounts and probably never at all satisfactory to place the curbing there. Upon motion it was ordered that no more curbing be placed until an investigation had been made by the rtreets and pumps committee. At a previous meeting the matter of ' purchasing indicators for the dif ferent fire stations was taken up w discussed and was to have been reported on last night but the committee wh" nan mis in cnargc v, ere not reaay , o make a report, and the matter wasf again, postponed. A bill of one hundred dollars for work done byHR. A.

The Board was not sufficiently nlightened ,in regards to this charge and held the bill up for.' investigational J. A. Patterson petitioned the Board to appoint him as city tax clister foi the purpose of listing the taxes for the present year. Mr. Patterson has done this work a number of times and has always given coir plete satisfaction but in the opinion of Alderman Ellis every citizen of Ncw 1 cm -should be given an opportunity to make a bid on this .11 rk and upon n'.otton' it was ordered that the work be advertised for -ten Jays and' that the bids be opened at a pei ial meeting of the Board to be held in April 15. Upon motion of Alderman Ellis, Thomas kihoe was engaged to audit .he books of the city and make a report of c,.cli dejNutmcnt to the Beard at their last regular meeting.

FATHER LEFT BIG FORTUNE lHsa Own Fortune Depleted By His Enormous Gifts To Char itable Enterprises. New York, April 1 While finan ciers estimated that the fortune of J, P. Morgan would total all the way up to $200,000,000 it is understood that , the financiers' will, when read, will reveal a fortune of less than $50, 000,000. Charts sumitted by the Pujo com mittee at the money trust showed that Morgan and associates dominated cor porations with $72,000,000,000 of re sources. ' Best informed bankers and those in position to have a pretty fair knowl edge of his fortune ' stated that esti mates of the financial commander's fourtne when, placed at from $50,000, 000 to $200,000,000,000, would prove to be an exaggeration. When J. P. Morgans' father died he left a fortune of about $15,000,000, which was distributed anoig three heirs, The formation and promotion of the United State's Steel Corporation is believed to have resulted in enlarg ing his fortune more than any of his numerous deals. That Mr. Morgan's fortune would not be as large as generally believed to be,, these bankers said, was due to the enormous amount of money which he Steadiry-ga'-e to charitable enterprises. Unlike many rich men, who .after suc cessful careers, make large donations for the public's benefit, Mr. Morgan's gifts and benefactions were not her alded with any blare of trumpets. Mr. Morgan was very reticent con- l . i, : .... will be known. Bankers said that inasmuch as Mr Morgan was a binker, it would prob ably be found that he had but a modest -urn invested in securities. it was jointed out' that cash is the chief requisite of a banker, and if bis funds re invested la .securities to any coo? iderable extent be would not be able o accommodate his clients. It is, however, believed tth,at he had mali personal t holdings of the large .'orporations of which he was a di- . ector. r .

WANTED SENTENCE COMMUTE Martin, When Asked To Uae Hit Influence, Refused Flatly to do so. Richmond April 1. Among those who sought to take advantage of the temporary absence from the State of Governor Mann by inducing Lieu tenant Governor Ellyson to commute the sentence of Claude Swanson Allen the night before his execution- was Senator Claude A. Swanson. While the Allen sympathizers who engaged in this scheme to nulify Gov ernor Mann's, action in the case,, were gathered at the home of John ( P. Branch, 1 West Franklin Strang there came a long distance telephone, call for the Lieutenant-Governor. . jThe man at the other end of the linojpWed to be Senator Swanson. '. He told the Lieotenant-GSvernor that he desired to see. the sentence of Claude Swanson Allen comnuted. This, of course, as a request for Mr. Ellyson to act. "But," objected the Lieutenant-Governor, "I have no authority . I held this office for four years while you were Governor, and you were often absent from the State. At those times, did you think I had authority to take . . . . . r' your place ana exert executive po err In reply, Senator Swanson said he did not know what the law was on the subject. The conversation then ended. 1 Senator Swanson, it is recalled, is a lawyer. He sorved a tefm as Gover nor of Virginia. But is seems, when he left the State on various missions, lie did not know whether or not Lieu tenant-Governor Ellyson could act in his absence. At least, he said' so last Thursday night. A rumor to the effect that Senator Swanson telegraphed Licutenan(-Jov-ernor Ellyson is incorrect. So, also, is a report that the junior Senator visited Richmond to see Governor Mann in behalf of Claude Swanson Allen. However, he favored commutation for the younger prisoner. lt is also learned that Senator Thomas S.
