BRITISH PRESS
COMMENTS ON
FRISCO SESSION
LONDON, June 29.—Newspapers
and British officials here manifest
considerable interest in the Demo
cratic national convention at San
Francisco. Chances of the various
aspirants for the nomination were
analyzed, but there were few expres
sions of preference.
The Daily News said: “We on this
tide of the water would be accused
of prejudice were we to express a
preference among the aspirants for
the Democratic nomination for presi
dent. Therefore, It is unnecessary
for us to say more regarding the
claims made for American Ambas
sador John W. Davis than that he
has shown good judgment and the
power of inspiring respect for both
himself and the great nation he rep
resents. This will insure him a high
place even in the notable list of dis
tinguished men who during the last
12 n- 1 years have fi Hed his office.”
? ame new spaper declared hos-
American labor would defeat
A. Mitchell Palmer. “The Democrats
have little hope of winning on a Wil
son platform, but they can probably
make a stiff fight if they are able to
draft a platform which will conciliate
labor end the Irish in the United
States.”

HEADQUARTERS
FOR M’ADOO MEN
OPENED AT FRISCO
SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.—Such
headquarters as William G. McAdoo
will have at the convention were
opened here today. They consist of
three rooms rented by personal
friends of Mr. McAdoo, and are to
be used solely for conferences. No
one is in charge of the rooms nor
is a publicity campaign from them
being planned. Conferences nightly
perhaps will be held by McAdoo’s
supporters during the remainder of
the convention.
Tentative arrangements for the
McAdoo committee that is to work
in the convention have been practi
cally completed. Under the leader
ship of Samuel B. Amidon, of Wi
chita. Kan., a steering committee
consisteing of half a dozen first lieu
tenants and one man or woman from
each state has been perfected. Prac
tically all of the members of the
committee are delegates, and will
work on the convention floor.
Np claims are being advanced by
the McAdoo supporters as to the
number of votes on the first or sub
sequent ballots. Reports made by
men of different state delegations,
however, claim anywhere from 250
to 350. These figures represent the
minimum and maximum reports. The
number of “second-choice” votes in
sight are said to number more than
300.
Mr. McAdoo’s friends say he may
run third in the balloting on early
votes. They expect Palmer to lead
because he has a tremendous "com
plimentary” vote that would be cast
for him on the first ballot. Cox may
run second, they said, and after that
the break will be towards McAdoo.
The Tammany delegation is having
a hard time deciding what to do re
garding McAdoo. It will cast its
early votes for Governor Smith, but
will not make a hard fight for him
because he is being groomed for
Tammany’s candidate for mayor of
New York at the next election.
Indiana delegates say they will
stick by Vice rPesident Marshall as
long as he is in the field, but if he
should withdraw, McAdoo’s friends
say they will get a number of Hoosier
votes.
State That Testimony
Against Jenkins Was
Forced by Torture
MEXICO CITY, June 29—Several
Indans, exclaimed with regard to
their previous testimony in the case,
of William O. Jenkins, of Shelby
ville, Tenn., former American consu
lar agent at Puebla, testified today
that they were suspended in the air,
struck and threatened with death by
shooting until they agreed to testify
against Jenkins, according to a
Puebla dispatch to El Universal this
evening. Jenkins was kidnaped bv
the bandit Federico Cordova last fail
and later was charged with com
plicity in his own capture.
The eestimony is being heard be
fore the third criminal coist of
Peubla. Igliaclo Musquez, former
secretary of the second criminal
court, declared court papers were
stolen to damage the case against
Jenkins and the judge was deposed
when he was about to free the
American. The bandit Cordova was
cross-examined for four hours to
day but his testimony was not dis
closed.
Interviewed in Mexico City to
night on his arrival from Peubla,
Cordova said * he had kidnaped
Jenkins, but that the latter was not
an accomplice. The agents of the
Carranza government, Cordova as
serted, had made attempts to induce
him to testify the \ kidnapin was
the result of a scheme between him
self and Jenkins, but he had declined
to make such a statement. Any dec
larations purporting to come from
him accusing Jenkins of being impli
cated in his capture, Cordova assert
ed, were pure fabrications.
Bride Says Killing
Was Purely Accidental
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. That she
held the pistol in her hand and that
it was accidentally discharged was
the story of Mrs. Margaret Larmon,
sixteen-year-old Bowling Green
bride, on trial with her husband for
murder of Ralph H. Rushing, taxicab
driver.
The girl’s testimony corroborated
that of her husband, Bernice Lar
mon. According to their story they
married against wishes of their par
ents and left Kentucky under an as
sumed name. At Tallahassee they ar
ranged with Rushing to take them
to Thomasville, Ga., in his car. They
left an unpaid hotel bill, but intend
ed to send the money back after
they met a friend in Thomasville.
Larmon told his bride not to fear
about being overtaken and drew his
revolver, their testimony ran. She
passed it to Rushing, who examined
it. When he passed it back a lurch
of the car caused it to be discharged
and to kill Rushing instantly.
The trial will be concluded later.
Train Bandit Is
Shot by Passenger
SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 29.—Po
lice today are searching along the
Southern tracks near Davis, a
few miles from here, for the train
robber who held up pasengers on the
Atlantic Express late last night. The
bandit fell from the train when Al
Rodell, of Cleveland, Ohio, fired three
shots into his breast.
About S2OO in cash and a quantity
of jewelry had been taken by the ban
dit from the passenger in the last
two cars on the train. He climbed
aboard from the observation platform
and compelled a brakeman to accom
pany him and arouse the passengers
in their berths.
As he attempted to enter a third
coach he discovered Conductor Mul
downey locking the door and fired
twice without hitting him. Rodell
followed the bandit back to the for
ward platform of the observation car
and shot him three times.

Car Goes Over 20-Foot
Bank; Three Women Hurt
COLUMBUS, Ga., June 29.—Mrs.
J. C. Pearson, Miss Victoria Meyer
and a young lady friend of the lat
ter, had a very narrow escape from
death in an automobile accident when
their Ford car ran down a twenty
foot embankment into Lindsay’s
creek as the party was returning
from Warm Springs to Columbus, the
driver, Miss Meyer, having been
blinded by a light on a car meeting
her at the crossing.
The car, used by the local Red
Cross, hit the side of the bridge,
and was turned over in the ravine,
carrying the three ladies with it. Just
how they escaped with their lives is
considered a miracle.
The car was smashed to pieces.
Mrs. Pearson was badly bruised up,
being hurt in the back and limbs.
Miss Meyer had both arms lacerated
by the windshield and she may lose
one of her hands as a result. The
other young lady was cut about the
hands but not seriously.
The three ladies were hurried to
the citv where medical attention was
had. Miss Meyer is a Red Cross nurse
and the car was the property of the
local Red Cross organization.

Cobb, Discussing Booms,
Says Senator Owens Will
Get Full Cherokee Fote
BY IRVING S. COBB
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 29.
In Sunday’s dispatches, in enumerat
ing the various booms and boomitas
(Spanish for little booms) which had
blossomed forth upon the eve of the
opening session, I unintentionally did
several prominent gentlemen an in
justice by omitting mention of their
booms. This oversight I hasten to
correct.
For instance, no account of the
proceedings to date would be com
plete without word for the Carter
Glass b«pm. This is one of the
youngest booms we have. It is so
young that it is practically unborn,
but we have a promise that it will
show growth later should develop
ments ti.nd toward a dark colt, new
ly foaled.
Mr. Glass, standing up, looks a
good deal like Homer Cummings, sit
ting down; he - comes from Lynch
burg, Va. This little city is likewise
the birthplace of Senator Robert
Owen, of Oklahoma, who, up until
Saturday, was being prominently
mentioned by himself and several
friends for the presidency, with ev
ery prospect, I find, of carrying the
full strength of the Cherokee tribe
of Indians, one of whom he is par
tially.
That was before Mr. Bryan took
a mean r.dvantage of Mr. Owen, who
had never done him any harm in his
whole life, by coming right out and
saying he rather favored Owens.
Idke a Black Bean
An Indorsement by Mr. Bryan at
this convention is in the nature of
a black bean, and, as a result of this
mean trick on the part of the boy
orator of the platitudes, Lynchburg
now has only one native son in the
running, the same being Mr. Glass,
as an argument in his favor, it is
being pointed out that if sent to
the White House he can save the
country considerable money when
touring the country by traveling on
a half fare ticket.
Indeed, there is much to be said
for Mr. Glass, in fact, much has al
ready been said for Mr. Glass- He
said it himself, however, he is con-
handicapped by the fact
that he hangs about the hotel lobby
conferring with delegates, other
guests mistake him for a bell hop
and if he goes out in the street and
stands on the corner, people try to
buy papers from him. I understand
he is thinking seriously of wearing
a Boy Scout’s uniform to avoid these
errors on the part of the populace.
Then, there is the Marshall boom,
which is being quietly promoted in
certain quarters by some of the In
diana Democrats. Any time an In
diana Democrat can’t run for an of
fice himself, he boosts some other
Indiana Democrat for it. Indiana is
known as a pivotal state because its
resident Democrats spend so much
time spinning around and around
looking for patronage.
In behalf of Mr. Marshall, the
claim is being adverted that, having
served eight years as vice president,
he should be better acquainted with
the duties and responsibility of the
presidency than any other man, ex
cluding Mr. McAdoo, who is only re
lated to the job by marriage. But
I never yet heard that Jawn McGraw

Ragged He Was, but President of
U. S. He Would Be, in His Speech
NEW YORK. —An equestrian
statue of George Washington, heroi
cally proportioned and of imperish
able bronze, stands in the plaza at
the Brooklyn end of the Williams
burg bridge.
Walking in the plaza as dawn
touched the skies Policeman Frank
Crane glanced casually at the statue
and then stood fascinated. For
astride the bronze charger which
carried the effigy of him who was
first in war and peace a ragged citi
zen sat. His arms were clasped se
curely about the waist of the Father
of His Country; the arms of Mor
pheus, in turn, held the ragged citi
zen fast.
But before the policeman now the
concrete (or granite) problem: “How
did the dashing horseman behind
General Washington achieve his posi
tion up fifteen feet of polished stone
pedestal?”
Ultimately, by throwing showers
of pebbles at the man, he awoke him
and ordered him to descend. The
man showed a disposition to argue,
but argument may never hope to pre
serve its equilibrium on a statue in
Wild Man Stirs Community and Sets
Them Wondering Whence He Came
RED OAK, la. —There’s a naked
wild man in the woods in the north
ern end of Montgomery county. Ful
ly 1,000 people, headed by Sheriff
Ed Peterson, spent one entire day
searching the bottoms along the
Nishnahmotna river for the fellow.
They did not find him, but discovered
several scooped-out places in the
river bank where he is believed to
have slept. Sheriff Peterson plans
to have out 5,000 men to search the
entire county.
For a month reports of a wild man,
entirely nude, roaming over the
northern end of the county with
Seeley’s mill as a center, have been
coming into Red Oak. He was seen
by a dozen different people. He was
reported as about thirty years old,
with a long, matted beard and hair
and. with muscles like an orang
outang. Two weeks ago, when pur
sued, he took to the trees like a
monkey and by swinging from
branch to branch made his escape.
Swims River Dog-fashion
On another occasion, when neigh
borhood pursuit became too warm
and he was cornered near the Nish
nabotna, the fellow plunged from a
high bank into deep water and, dog
fashion, went across the river with
almost incredible speed.
The all-day hunt was made b;
‘been living for eight years next
door to the Polo Grounds.’
For a Mess of Fenrose
Os the Hoover boom, perhaps the
less said the better. That also is
the way the convention feels about
it. In politics, circumstances certain
ly do alter cases with amusing ra
pidity. If Herb hadn’t sold his po
litical birthright for a mess of Pen
rose, he today would have the bright
est prospect of any man for being
nominated here in San Francisco by
the Democrats, with excellent
chances, in the opinion of many wise
acres, for beating Harding to a
souffle in November. As it is. about
the only place where he still is run
ning strongly is Belgium.
Finally, I feel that this supple
mental summary of booms would not
be completed did it fail to include a
paragraph dedicated to the Bain
bridge Colby boom. I have decided,
therefore, to give it, a paragraph.
This boom is not.
Monday’s session gave the crowd
an opportunity to admire the Bruce
Kremer style of delivery and the ap
pointments of the convention hall:
Mr. Kremer concurring heartily in
the first named. Otherwise nothing
of vital importance marked the first
hours of the first morning of the
convention.
Many of the old-time notables were
missing from the scene. Death, this
past four years, has claimed some
and the slings and arrows of party
disfavor fatally have perforated the
political polls of divers other of
the ancient war horses, as Lardner,
the ever original, has nicknamed
them. Ollie James, beloved of Ken
tucky, has been claimed by eternity,
as has Rogers Sullivan, of Illinois.

Martin Glynn, of New York, de

until this year, Joe Bailey has been
a conspicuous figure in Democracy’s
council, his real prominence as a
leader dating back to that ever me
morial hour up on the floor of the
United States senate, when he made
a violent attack on Albert Jermiah
Beveridge’s most vital organs, to-wit,
his vocal chords.
But this year Texas would have
none of her erstwhile favorite son.
Dave Francis is on the spot, full
life-size, but his fellow statesman
of Missouri, Jim Reed, has been
given the bounce twice by the con

him which was Impressed once upon

ed: ‘T know now what the matter

WILL ALLOCATE
MORE SHIPS TO
SOUTHEAST PORTS
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.)
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON. June 29. —Admiral
William S. Benson, chairman of the
United States shipping board, Tues
day made the promise that the board
will protect the increasing tonnage
of the south Atlantic ports and will
allocate additional vessels as needed
for tl£e commerce of such ports.
Chairman Benson’s assurance is
contained in a letter written to Sen
ator Harris, of Georgia, who re
quested that several wooden vessels
be assigned to the south Atlantic
ports to handle lumber shipments to
Cuba.
Simultaneously, the board is ar
ranging to begin the operation July
1 of a new shipping district 'with
headquarters at Savannah, through
which district will be cleared the
business of the southeastern states
with the shipping board. B. A. Har
nett, the district director, will as
sume charge of the district head
quarters by July 1.
In his letter • regarding lumber
shipments. Chairman Benson says:
“Am pleased to inform you that
our traffic department recently as
signed to managing agents in the
south Atlantic district a number of
these wooden vessels which will be
employed in the carrying of general
cargo to Cuba.”
“These vessels will without doubt
make Brunswick and Savannah their
leading ports if cargo is offered.
“Finally, I should like to assure
you that we shall at all times give
our thoughtful consideration to the
requests of the South Atlantic ports
for the assignment of tonnage to pro
tect their/increasing volume of busi
ness.” (
Creation of a new shipping district
in the southeastern states and ap
pointment of Mr Harnett as its di
rector at the Savannah headquarters
will be of great advantage to the en
tire tier of southeastern states. For
merly these south Atlantic states
have been in the Norfolk district.
Senators, representatives and busi
ness men from North Carolina, South
Carolina .Georgia and Florida appeal
ed to the board for a separate snip
ping district, .asserting that Norfolk
was almost a\ northern port and was
far removed from the south Atlantic
ports which are now developing.
The shipping board says that Mr.
Harnett is well qualified to act as di
rector of the new district. He was
for seven years with the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, three years' with
the l San Francisco Portland Steam
ship company, and thirteen years,
with the Oriental Steamship company
During the war he served in the
quartermaster branch of the army.
Envies Waiter Who Can
Lose $2,000 at Poker
“If a waiter and a window clean
er can sit in a game of poker and
each lose $2,000, I want to be either
right away,” declared Deputy Assis
tant District Attorney Driscoll in
Jefferson Market court, New York,
recently in opposing the discharge of
the waiter, Harry Weiss, of No. 102
Suffolk street, who was charged
with maintaining a gambling house
at No. 11 West 21st street.
Detectives Kiernan and Ritzmann
of Inspector Boland’s staff testified
that they saw Weiss and a score of
window cleaners playing cards Wed
nesday night with a considerable
amount of money before them.
Weiss’ attorney, Alexander Lang,
admitted some “thousands of dol
, lars passed in the game,” but stoutlv
maintained the amount involved did
not supply the "necessary element”
to constitute a violation of state
statutes. Weiss was discharged, as
were several other players charged
with disorderly 'conduct.
Burned Shirts to Attract Men
On Shore to Save Them
Three men adrift in a stalled motor
boat were rescued and towed to safe
ty in Chicago by Detective Sergeant
John Stark of the police and George
• Moore, a real estate man. The men
burned their shirts, saturated in oil,
to attract attention and Stark and
Moore rowed out in a leaky rowboat
to the rescue.
The burning shirts were seen by
hundreds of persons along the north
shore of Lake Michigan and some of
them notified John Donovan, engnieer
of the waterworks at the North Shore
avenue branch. Donavan telephoned
the police station and Stark started
to the rescue. On the way he met
Moore in an automobile. They found
a leaky rowboat, which they com
mandeered. Stark rowed and Moore
bailed, then Moore rowed and Stark
bailed. Amid the cheers of the as
semblage on shore they towed the
disabled craft to shore.
The boatman told their rescuers
they had been a mile and a half off
shore when they ran out of fuel.
The wind was off shore, and they
were driven further out.
When it grew dark they became
frightened and stripped themselves
of their shirts, soaked them in oil,
and burned them. Then, shivering,
they waited for help.

HARDING PLANS
REPLY TO SPEECH
OF CUMMINGS
WASHINGTON, June 29.—Warren
G. Harding intends to reply to the
keynote speech of Homer Cummings
to the Democratic convention in his
speech next month.
Senator Harding read the Demo
cratic broadside carefully today, but
he declined to make any comment for
the present. |
The Republican presidential nom- i
inee was back on the job today fresh
and sunburned from his brief vaca
tion in New Jersey. He was eager
to plunge into the stack of accumu
lated mail, and several important
conferences are on his engagement
pad. It will be a steady grind for
Senator Harding until he leaves for
Marion, probably Saturday.
Mrs. Harding also appeared to
have enjoyed the brief rest, although
her only comment returning was on
the good it did the senator.
Waiting for his train at the New
Jersey village ’last night. Senator
Harding improved his time by min
gling with laborers on their way
home from work in the mills. His
•identity was unknown to the little
knots of workingmen waiting at the
station. Mr. Harding walked over
to one grimy laborer sitting on a
station bench and extended his hand.
“How are you today?” Senator
Harding began, without the formali
ty of introducing himself. “I just
wanted to find out how you are get
ting along?”
The man told Senator Harding he
worked in a tar roofing factory near
by and got $.5-50 a day.
“And you know that man got off on
a particular hobby of mine,” Senator
Harding said, relating the incident
on the train later. “He is buying a
home on payments instead of paying
rent. That always appealed to hie.
And he is saving money, too.”
Conductors and porters on a pass
ing train recognized the senator and
Mrs. Harding standing on the plat
form and waved to them. .
On the train Mr. Harding fell into
conversation with the steward of the
dining car and several of the porters.
He did not seek to get their views on
political questions, but was trying to
find out how much they earned and
whether it was enough to raise their
families on, it was explained later.
Mrs. Harding, Senator Kellogg, of
Minnesota, and Jimmy Sloan, secret
service man, composed the party.
Blames Army Life for
Wave of Robberies,
Says London Times
Burglary insurance companies in
Great Britain are being hard hit. The
whole of burglary underwriting in
respect of commercial premises, pri
vate dwelling houses and personal
property is in a difficult position, as
the number of robberies of all kinds
is the greatest ever and the
amount of the claims unprecedented.
The war has largely increased the
number of criminals, according to an
official of a leading London insur
ance company. "If you wanted a
stove or a saucepan at the front,
he said, “you rarely went through
the long process of asking for it, but
purloined it from those who had it.
The normal deterrent of dishonesty
was absent; it was considered ‘the
thing’ to do. Many of these people
who have learned to ‘win’ things—as
the soldier described it—easily at the
front, have returned with a pervert
ed sense of mine and thine and an
objection to working. They do not
go in for ordinary burglary, but for
flat breaking, which is a specialized
and popular form of burglary. They
confine themselves to appropriating
articles like silk dresses and men’s
suits—which now have a consider
able value, owing to high prices—
furs, jewelry of all kinds, and silver.
“The lack of domestic servants has
had a most injurious effect on the
position of the insurance companies,
as the flat breaker always waits un
til the occupants are absent.
“The robbery of luggage is a very
serious problem, and it is hard not to
think that the passengers them
selves, and also the railway authori
ties, might exercise more care and
supervision. The more people have
to lose, the more careless they are
with it. They will leave their lug
gage on the platform, and go away
for lunch, and they are culpably neg
ligent with cases containing jewelry
and valuables in trunks, but keeping
them in a handbag.”—London Times.
Catching Fish Out of
Barn Is Good Sport
ELLSBERRY, Mo.—Catching fish
in a barn is a rather unusual snort,
but R. S. Melone and Walter Mayes
enjoyed that sort of a pastime on an
island in the Mississippi river near
here, and came back with a good
catch of fish.
They had occasion during the
high water to go to Melone’s farm
on the island in a launch to sook
after some of the buildings. When
they reached there they found the
water had gone over the island and
the buildings were standing in sev
eral feet of water. When they reach
ed the door of the barn they found
fish playing around, in the snallow
water.
They closed the door and the first
catch that Melone made was a 20-
pound “buffalo.” They kept on fish
ing until they had landed all the
fish they wanted, it being no trouble
to trap and catch the finny tribe in
the small inclosure. The fish swam
in through the door while the water
was up.
Other Ellsberry folks were told of
the unusual occurrence and several
more took trips to the island in a
launch and came back with good
sized catches.

CALOMEL’S DOOM .
—1
The “Liver Tone” Man
Warns Folks Against the • j
Sickening, Salivat
ing Drus
Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It’s »
horrible! Take a dose of the danger
ous drug tonight and tomorrow you i
lose a day.
Calomel is mercury! When it
comes into contact with sour bile,
it crashes into it, breaking it up.
Then is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If you are
sluggish, If liver is torpid and bow
els constipated or you have headache,
dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is
bad or stomach sour, just try a
spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver j
Tone tonight.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug htore and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t
straighten you right up and make
you feel fine and vigorous, go back
to the store and get your money. i
Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying
the sale of calomel because it can
not salivate or make you sick.
