I 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, 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.

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.

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.

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. • I Classified Advertisements LEAHN AUTO AND TV. 5 CTO II BUSINESS in 6 to 8 weeks.
