COTTON
NEW YORK, July 7.—The cotton market
opened steady at an advance of 12 to 25
points on further covering promoted by the
closing strength of yesterday, and reports
that boll weevil were becoming more nu
merous as a result of the showery weather
in the Mississippi valley, July notices esti
mated at about 1,500 bales were reported
in circnlation but after easing off from
89.98 to 39.80, July soon stiffened up to
39.90 and the firm ruling of the spot
month helped the steadiness of the later
deliveries. October sold at 33.60 and De
cember 32.28, or about 20 points net high
er. Liverpool reported a quiet market with
come buying on yesterday’s advance here,
and some of the early wires from the south
indicated heavy rains last night in the Mem
phis section. According to these advices the
crop had plenty of moisture and the wet
weather was promoting the spread of in
•ects.
The forenoon advance extended ti 33.85
for October and 32.52 for December, or
about 35 to 45 points above yesterday’s
final quotations and 100 to 118 points above
the low level of yesterday morning. There
•emed to be some July for sale as the price
approached the 40-cent level, however, and
the demand for a new crop position tapered
off toward midday with prices showing re
actions of several points shortly after the
publication of the weekly weather report.
The midday decline carried prices back to
aboat last night’s closing with Otober con
tests seling at 33.42. Pries were holding
fairly steady during the early afternoon.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
NEW ORLEANS, July s.—The continued
showery weather in the belt, breeding fear
of extensive insect damage, put the price
of cotton higher on the opening today and
during the first hour of trading the active
months were sent 20 to 38 points over the
closing quotations of yesterday, July touch
ing 37.60 and October 33.43. July was not
especially active and much of the trading
was centered in October.
Late in the session real weakness devel
oped and heavy selling came from traders
who appeared to have digested the weekll
trop reports and found them bearish. Much
was made of the .official claim that boll
weevil damage has been slight. Reports
that many eastern cotton mills were cur
tailing production and that some southern
banks were trying to loosen up loans against
cotton were additional selling inflnences of
importance. Toward the close October was
trading at 32.75 and the list was 38 to 43
points under the final prices of yesterday.
The tone held steady for a while, and
prices were 23 to 38 points up at their best,
but after the reading of the weekly crop re
ports, which proved more favorable than ex
pected. the market commenced to sag. Grad
ually all of the early gains were lost and re
placed by a net decline, which, late in the
morning, amounted to 3 to 5 points. July
dropped to 37.35 c and October to 33.05 c.

ELWELL’S FORMER
PARTNER CALLED
IN MURDER PROBE
NEW YORK, July 7.—William
Pendleton, former business asso
ciate of Joseph Bowna Elwell, was
summoned by District Attorney Ed
ward Swann today to clear up what
officials said were contradictory
statements regarding Mr. Pendle
ton’s movements on the eve of the
murder of the whist expert.
Ms. Swan/i said thsit from the evi
dence he has obtained; “It was not
improbable that Pendleton was in
Elwell’s home the morning of the
murder.”
He added:
“Pendleton, in his first examina
tions, said he went home early in
the evening on June 11 and 12. (El-t
well was murdered the morning of
June 11). He said that he put his
auto in his own garage and went to
bed early.
“On June 11 he told us that he
went to the Jamaica race track, ac
companied by a woman friend.
“John Boyle, an employe of the
Atlas garage, informed us that
Oliver Bird, Jr., a friend of Pendle
ton’s, drove Pendleton's auto into
the garage at 6 a. m. on the morn
ing of thes murder. Bird, according
to Boyle, asked him to ride awhile.
“The two men, according to
Boyle’s story, drove around for an
hour and finally Bird left the ma
chine and asked Boyle to drive the
car to the garage. Boyle said that
on the way back to the garage, he
met George Post, Jr., also a friend
of Pendleton’s, who got into the ma
chine. Post remarked, according to
Boyle, that ‘this is Pendleon’s ma
chine, isn’t it,’
“Sam Flaxe, another employe of
the Atlas garage, told us that he
saw Pendleton’s machine in the
garage June 11.
“We also have found a taxi driver
at Cedarhurst who said he drove
Pendleton to the station on the eve
of the murder. June 10, In time to
catch the 10:26 train to New York.”
Telephone operators informed au
thorities that a call was placed from
the Elwell home to the Pendleton
home at 1:45 a. m., the day of the
murder.
Commenting on this fact, At
torney Swann said. “It is. not im
probable that Pendleton was in El
well’s home at the time and was
calling his wife to tell her that he
, would not be home that night.”
i The call was never completed as
Ino one answered at the Pendleton
I home.

Committee Woman Landers, Indiana,
thajiking Mrs. George Bass, chairman
of the womens committee, for her
services, was adopted.
Women Are Thanked
The’ convention then adopted a res
olution offered by Mrs. Howard T.
Wilson, of Illinois, thanking the
women of San Francisco for their
hospitality to the women of the con
vention and thanking the citizens
committee of San Francisco for quan
tities of flowers and fruit distributed
among the delegates.
Gavin McNab, of San Francisco,
moved a recess until 3 o’clock so
the convention might deliberate fur
ther o nthe Vice Presidential nomi
nation. It was drowned out 1 na
chorus of oe sand Chairman Robin
son onlered the call of the roll of
states reminding the delegates that
the convention rule limited nominat
ing speeches for Vice Presidential
candidates to ten minutes and sec
ond speeches to five.
Tyson Is Nominated
Alabama yielded to Tennessee and
Brigadier-General L. D. Tyson was
placed in nomination by Harvey H.
Hannah, of Nashville, Tenn.
General Hanna made an oritorical
effort with many flights of speech,,
urging General Tyson’s nomination
on the ground that this convention
"should put a soldier on the ticket”
in recognition of the deeds of Amer
ican soldiers in the war.*
At General Hanna’s peroration, the
Tennessee delegates produced a
photo of Generai Tyson and cheered
for more than a minute.
Chairman Robinson then read a
telegram from Governor Cox accept
ing the presidential nomination, and
thanking the convention for the
honor. The crowd jumped up with
a yell at th of the read
ing of Cox’s telegram, singing "Ohio
Ohio, we’ll elect Jim Cox or know
the reason why."

As the Cox total passed that of Mc-
Adoo and surged upward the McAdoo
managers made a desperate fight to
stop it in time. Their candidate
twice had held the lead and
lost it, however, and many delegates
suporting him had given up hope
that he ever could be nominated. On
the last four ballots McAdoo lost
steadily, several solid state delega
tions deserting his banner for that
of the leader.
Besides, the scattering Palmer del
egates who at ffrst had swung to
McAdoo, drifted over into the Cox
camp in Increasing numbers and he
began to take a commanding place in
the balloting. Once he had more
than a majortiy the fight was easy.
At the end of another day of furious
struggle, the convention stampeded
to Cox, flung aside its rules, a.nd
made his nomination unanimous with
a roaring shout.
A terrific uproar followed. The
whole mass of delegates threw them
selves into a final wild demonstra
tion, greater than any of the orgies
of noise that has preceded.
In the midst of the din, Chairman
Robinson succeeded in restoring a
semblance of order to get adjourn
ment until noon so that Governor
Cox’s wishes hs to his teammate
could be learnfed.
E. H. Moore, of Youngstown, Ohio,
national committeeman from the
state and leader of the tireless and
uphill fight that won the nomination
for the Ohio governor, said it had
been made without promises.
The struggle was exceeded in vot
ing duration in Democratic annals
only by the fight at Baltimore tn
1912 which gave the president his
first nomination on the forty-sixth
ballot.
Fresh from an over-Sunday study
of the twenty-two ballots taken last
week, the convention went to work
Monday seemingly hopelessly tied up
in a triangular deadlock between Cox,
McAdoo and Palmer. Leaders had no
predictions to make, although they
then thought that Cox with a lead
of some sixty votes over McAdoo
and more than 200 over Palmer on
the twenty-second roll call, which
events proved to be just the half-way
point, had a advantage.
Neither Palmer nor McAdoo sup
porters were daunted, however, and
the twenty-third poll, first of the
twenty-two more the convention was
to go through during the day and
night to follow, showed their forces
relatively as strongly entrenched as
ever. Time and again the rival forces
launched their noisy demonstrations
in an effort to force the issue. The
roll calls went through swiftly ex
cept for those interruptions. Chair
man Robinson and his aides on the
platform kept up constant “pressure
for speed.
No noon recess was taken. The
convention drove ahead through two
new surges, one toward Palmer and
the other toward McAdoo, neither or
which produced any decided results.
All three of the leaders were going
strongly when a dinner recess gave
opportunity for the final setting of
lines on which the battle would be
carried to a finish.
Galleries again were jammed and
delegates were keyed up to a point
where shouts ar}d cheers greeted
changes of single votes. A slight
continued gain for McAdoo on the
first night ballot sent has partisans
off into a roaring gesticulating pa
rade about the hall in which western
and southern state standards were
prominent but which no amount of
shouting could induce New York or
Pennsylvania to join. New York had
reached a division of twenty for Mc-
Adoo and Seventy for Cox, on which
it stuck throughout, while Pennsyl
vania as steadily had voted seventy
three or its seventy-six delegates
for Palmer.
With the ♦ thirty-seventh ballot,
however, Palmer strength took an
other drop. Amidst wild jubilation
by McAdoo supporters. Chairman
Robinson fought for order and led
former Representative Carlin, of
Virginia, Palmer’s manager, up to
the speaker’s stand. The crowd
hushed. It recognized Carlin and
knew that his appearance forecast
only one thing; the release of the
Palmer delegates and a break-up in
the long deadlock. Men halted where
they stood in the aisles to listen.
Corridors poured back hundreds of
loungers to the floor to pack the
doorways and jam even the entrances
to the galleries. An electric feeling
of expectancy was in the air.
Carlin briefly stated that Attor
ney General Palmer was not willing
longer to delay a nomination and au
thorized the complete and uncondi
tional release of his delegates. A
shout went up only to be quickly
stilled, while Chairman Robijsson an
nounced a twenty-minute recess so
that delegations might be polled for
new alignments and the change in
the situation be considered before
another vote was taken. ,
While the recess was on. the gal
leries sat tense, staring down to the
great pit below where delegates
scrambled and tumbled through the
aisles conferring to ffppraise the sit
uation before determining their
course. McAdoo ami Cox workers
worked up to the maximum effort to
take advantage of the break. The
floor hummed and whirled like the
stock exchange on a panicky day.
Great clusters of (’ox and McAdoo
workers gathered about the Palmer
groups, struggling for attention and
to enlist for their own standard the
arr-y about tn be disbanded.

great block of votes went down for
Palmer amid a surprised hush.
The announcement of the whole
ballot, however, started another tu
mult, led by Cox adherents. It show
ed he had outstripped McAdoo in the
race for Palmer delegates and again
reached the lead.
The Cox forces scented victory
right there. The Cox band trooped
into the gallery and hurled the
strains of the Cox battle song, “Ohio.
Ohio,” down into the din below. Again
time was required to get quiet enough
to start a new roll call.
When Pennsylvania was reached
the delegation asked for a poll. • One
by one a big McAdoo majority in
the Pennsylvania ranks was disclosed
and Cox supporters looked a little
disturbed. The drift to the Ohio
standard was on, however, and even
the more than two-score Palmer men
who joined from the Pennsylvania
forces would not push McAdoo back
in the lead.
A fight to adjourn for the night
was started by McAdoo supporters
against shouts of "No! No!” all over
the floor. The motion went down
on a vote that left no doubt of the
convention’s determination to fight it
out then and there. The forty-first
ballot was started.
Both McAdoo and Cox gained
ground and McAdoo supporters dug
themselves in grfmly determined on
a last-ditch fight. The forty-second
roll call was started. It showed new
drifts to Cox as the votes were shout
ed back to the platform from tbe
unsuppressible murmur among the
delegates, now regardless of the fa
tigue of the prolonged fight, al
though the great galleries above
them were almost vacant. Great
blocks of empty seats showed where
worn-out spectators had given it up
by midnight and gone home, expect
ing another day
Deadlock Broken
Georgia started the slide toward
Cox on the forty-first ballot, al
though the release of Attorney Gen
eral Palmer’s delegates had dislodged
the keystone of the- Democratic con
vention jam, and Florida precipitated
the break-up on the final ballot by
swinging a solid delegation to the
Ohio governor.
Both sides waited in vain for Ten
nessee to tpke her twenty-four votes
from Davis, but they remained stead
fast in the ambassador’s column un
til the last.
Both leaders were under the 500
mark on the forty-first ballot at mid
night, with each sniping Into the
other’s camp and the Davis voters
holding fast. Closing with 497 1-2
votes on the forty-first, Cox rose
on the next to p4O 1-2, or only 7 1-2
less than a majoi’ity of the conven
tion, while McAdoo dropped from 460
to 427. Then Georgia inaugurated
the break-up by swinging twenty
eight solid for McAdoo. Cox packed
up more scattering votes.
Cox shot twenty over a majority
on the forty-third ballot, getting 568
as against 540 1-2 on the previous
roll. McAdoo dropped fifteen on the
forty-third, going from 427 to 412.
Cox’s principal gains were a solid
vote from Louisiana, taking a half
dozen from McAdoo, and 10 1-2 from
Virginia, which previously had re
turned to Senator Glass. On that
ballot also Cox drew away numerous
scattering votes from McAdoo.
The final ballot began at 10:15
o’clock. Almost from the start Cox
began taking single and double votes
from the McAdoo delegations. The
real break-up developed when three
Florida delegates which had stood
fast for McAdoo for many ballots
swung over and gave Cox a solid
twelve. Cox held Georgia intact,
gained four more Illinoisans from
McAdoo and then Tom Tagart an
nounced a solid block of thirty, from
Indiana for Cox, taking ten from
McAdoo. Kentucky likewise gave up
three McAdoo votes and made it
twenty-six for Cox.
Louisiana gave another unbroken
bloclc.
With the Cox tide in flood, the
Colorado, change was announced and
the long' battle ended with the adopt
ed motion for a unanimous vote.
The West Virginia sixteen stood
steadfast for Davis during the en
tire battle. Also the score of Okla
homans instructed for Senator Owen
and Nine Nebraskans controlled by
Bryan and voting almost from the
first for Owen, never wavered.
Georgia Votes for Cox
When Georgia was reached the
delegation chairman leaped to ms
chair and shouted that his state, for
merly in McAdoo ranks, would join
hands with Ohio “to name the next
president.” He cast the solid
gia vote for Cox and the shout that
followed seemed to rock the buiia
ir>McAdoo followers were still hold
ing grimly. Again the Texas block
of forty votes went in for him. me
western states, which led the way
in his drives, stuck hard and even
the fact that Cox had swept beyond
the first majority vote recorded for
any candidate did not shake them
loose.
The forty-third roll call began in
a riot of noise that made the poll
audible only as the serges of sound
paused to let the figures reach the
Little by little the drift to the
Cox column continued gaining as it
ran. “Get. into the wagon,” roared
a man in the galleries and the Cox
rooters took it up. Votes for other
candidates, than Cox or McAdoo
brought yells to “come out of it
and “wake up.”
In the New York delegation a
challenge for a poll a sent a dozen
men scurrying to argue with the
challenger. He was the center of a
fire of argument and adjuration
he could not resist. Finally; after a
new move by McAdoo supporters to
adjourn in a last desperate effort to
stave off defeat had been roared
down, the last ballot, the forty
fo’iu-th, began.
The result was forecast with the
first vote. Alabama, swung solid to
Cox. State by state, delegations who
had stuck out for McAdoo with
divided deligations, followed suit
The slide had set in and there was
no stouping it. hTe convention had
its mind set to nominate on that
ballot. Up and vn mounted the
Ohioian’s total of votes. As it passed
the 700 mark with the necessary
two-thirds just ahead, tlte tumult in
creased minute by minute until the
Taat votes were heard only vaguely
on the platform. Pennsylvania went
over and the Colorado chairman
leaped to his chair to change the
vote of liis state to Cox. Half a
dozen, other chairmen were waving
for recognition to make similer an

toric animals?
Questions Answered
I—Q. Why was the capital of the
United States located at Washing
ton? C. B.
1— A. At the time that a decision
was being made, there was a great
deal of sectional strife and a strong
sentiment against choosing a state
capital or large city lest it Interfere
with the federal government. The
constitution drafted in 1787, author
ized congress “to exercise exclusive
legislation in all cases whatsoever,
over such district (not exceeding 10
square miles) as may, by cession of
particular states, and the accept
ance of congress, become the seat ,of
government of the United States.”
Virginia and Maryland promised
such a cession; President Washing
ton was known to be in favor of a
site on the Potomac, and in July,
1790, Alexander Hamilton, in return
for Thomas Jefferson’s assistance in
passing the bill for the assumption
of the state war debts by the federal
government, helped Jefferson to
pass a bill for establishing the capi
tal on the Potomac. The location
was favorable, since it was on the
river which was the main artery of
communication, connecting with the
head-waters of the Ohio, and was so
situated that, while on a body of
water easily accessible to the ocean,
still was at a distance from it and
in a position to be easily defended.
2Q. Are there glass blowers tn
England who earn S6O to $l4O a
wede?
2—A. At Willesden, England, win
chairs to wave their arms for silence,
and then stand poised like college
yell leaders to signal the answer to
the question.
Banging his gavel in a final thump,
Chairman Robinson put the question,
and the answer roared back at him
with all the volume of 1,000 voices
in shouting the tremendous “aye"
that made Governor Cox the Demo
cratic nominee.
The forty-fourth ballot never was
completed. In the great chorus of
affirmation, it was swept away as
unnecessary. Many of the changes
which would have been made had the
vote been carried through were never
recorded, and .on the face of that
ballot. Governor Cox received official
ly 702% votes, but they were never
totaled, for he was nominated by the
unanimous voice of the convention.
The nomination of Governor Cox
means that the two great parties not
only have gone into the same state
for their candidates, but have picked
men who for years have been asso
ciated more or less closely in the same
profession. Like Senator Harding.
Governor Cox is a newspaperman, and
their home towns in Ohio are not far
apart. •

one winter only.
Q. What is a sunstone?
A. This is a variety of aventurine,
feldspar, or oligoclose, which yields,
when polished, internal reflections
emariating from crystals or flakes of
iron oxide. The finest specimens,
showing a brilliant play of color,
come from Norway.
Q. Is there a chess player in Ger

Q. What power over treaties have
the president and senate, respec
tively?
A. Treaties are initiated by the
president, who has sole power to con
duct negotiations with foreign pow
ers. The senate must ratify by’ a
two-thirds vote.
Q. Is iodide of soda a good rem
edy for a goiter? How should .it be
taken; in what amounts and when?
A. lodide of soda is useful in some
forms of goiter, but this disease is
entirely too serious a condition for
anyone to undertake self-treatment
for it. In some cases, in fact, the
drug may do distinct harm. By all
means consult a qualified physician,
have him give you'a thorough ex
amination and follow his advice.
Q. Will you please tell me how

drink at least six. glasses of water a
day during the winter and at least,
eight glasses a day during the sum
mer. One should drink a glass of
water on arising, one at each meal,
one or more between meals and one
at bedtime. It is not harmful to
drink water with your meals, pro
vided the water is not used to wash,
the food down. If there is no food in„
your mouth no harm will result. It •
is a pretty good rule to drink a glasa
o’ hot water before breakfast. Dur
ing the day drink cool water, but not
iced water. i.
Q. What is a budget system, either
