BY METHODISTS IB
SET FDR 5 O'CLOCK
Minority Substitute Plan
Beaten After Debate
Friday Morning
MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM, Chat-
Tenn., July 4. —(By the As
/ Related Press.)—The special confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, will begin voting at
5 p. m. today on acceptance of the
plan for organic union with the
northern branch of the denomination.
This decision was reached shortly
before adjournment for lunch after
several hours of debate on a motion
that a minority report of the unifica
tion commission opposing union un
der the plan advanced be adopted as
a substitute for the majority re
port recommending acceptance.
With this motion disposed of, a
vote on acceptance of the majority
report was to follow. The confer
ence recessed at 12:30 p. m., until
8 o’clock.
Success of Plan Foreseen
Many delegates believed today that
before nightfall the conference would
have adopted the plan for unification
of the southern church with the
Methodist Episcopal church and
would have ordered its action sub
mitted to the annual conference for
ratification. The unification plan
with a recommendation that it be
adopted, was’submitted to the con
ference yesterday after the defeat of
a resolution proposing a substitute
general conference next May on the
ground that doubt as to the legality
of the present gathering had arisen.
The submission of the unification
plan in the form of a report by the
majority of the commissioners of the
southern church who, with a similar
commission of the northern branch
devised it, was followed by a minority
report presented by Bishop Collins
Denny, of Richmond, Va. Bishop
Denny. Judge J. M. Rogers, of Sa
vannah, Ga. and the Rev. Dr. J. T
Leggett, three of the southern com
missioners, declined to approve the
unification plan proposed and in the
minority report outlined their rea
sons for so acting.
Bishop J. M. Moore, of Dallas,
who called the conference to order
declared today was an important
one in the calendar of the country
and suggested that the assemblage
should stand and sing "America.”
After the conclusion of the song
Bishop Moore relinquished the chair
to Bishop William Fletcher McMur
ry, of Louisville, Ky.
Bishop Richardson Present
Bishop E. G. Richardson, of At
lanta, of the Methodist Episcopal
church, who is a visitor in Chatta
nooga, was invited to the platform
and introduced to the conference.
Bishop Richardson expressed the
hope that the two churches would
be united into one body.
Dr. A. C. Millar, Little Rock,
Ark., was the first speaker on the
motion to adopt the minority uni
fication report as a substitute. He
opposed the motion.
Dr. C. C. Selecman, president of
Southern Methodist university, Dal
las, Texas, pleaded for unification
■ The speaker was interrupted by ap-
OWpuse repeatedly as he drove home
in favor of union.
*-*Dr.A. J. Lamar, of Nashville,
Tenn., delegate from the north Ala
bama conference, one of the sponsors
of the resolution which proposed a
substitute general conference next
May on the ground that the legality
of’ the conference was doubtful and
which was defeated yesterday, next
mounted the speaker's stand. Dr.
Lamar explained that he heartily
favored unification but was opposed
to it under the present plan because
he believed it is "defective, danger
ous and unwise for the southern
church.”
Bishop Denny’s Report
/ The minority report was prepared
by Bishop Denny and required sev
eral hours to read. Delegates op
posed to the particular plan of union
offered declared it one of the most
masterful state papers they had ever
heard while spokesmen for the unifi
cation forces who launched and at
tack upon it when it was moved that
It be adopted as a substitute for the
majority report, claimed that it ap
pealed to .every known prejudice
against union of the two churches.
Under the rules of the church
bishops have no voice in the confer
ences unless a majority of the dele
gates vote to extend them an invita
tion. Such an invitation has not
been extended at this conference and
it was learned last night that the
bishops had a gentlemen’s agree
ment not to speak. Dr. George R.
Stuart of Birmingham, who attack
ed the minority report in scathing
terms characterized it as the most
carefully prepared speech, camou
flaged and delivered in the form of
a report, that he had ever listened
to. The report reviewed Methodist
church history from the time the
church was organized in 1784 to the
present day, told of various at
tempts at union after the rupture
of 1884 and went deeply into techni
calities.

Coolidge’s Own Birthday
Comes With Nation’s;
“Greetings” Mail Heavy
WASHINGTON. July 4.—Presi

birthday today—his fifty-second and
the nation’s 148th.
Following custom, the president
made no unusual observance of his
birthday, but joined with the nation
in the Fourth of July celebration.
This morning he spoke before the
convention of the National Education
association.
Later in the day he planned to
board the presidential yacht May
flower for a cruise down the Potomac
which might continue over the week
end. There were no White House
i guests, although the sons of Presi-
I dent and Mrs. Coolidge, John and
' Calvin. Jr., were at home.

A. F. L. Fights Third Party,
Article by Gompers Warns;
Sees Reactionary Victory
WASHINGTON, July 4.—The
American Federation of Labor
opposes all so-called “third party”
movements. Samuel Gompers
president of the federation, de
clared in a leading editorial in
the official organ of the body,
the American Federationist, is
sued here today.
Coming on the eve of the Cleve
land progressive convention, the
statement was regarded of great
significance.
‘‘Now, as before, the average
result of so-called third party ad
ventures will he victory for re
action,” wrote Gompers.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 4.
“Robert M. La Follette” was the toc
sin of the opening session of the na
tional convention of the Conference
for Progressive Political Action
here today.
Aside from musical numbers, com- j
mittee appointments, a brief opening
prayer and exercises commemorative
of the 148th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence, the
convention was devoted to oratory
and the chief theme of each of the
speakers was “Fighting Bob” and
the present-day opportunity of his
expected candidacy for the presi
dency.
At 1 p. m. the convention recessed
until 2:30 p. m.
William H. Johnston, union labor
chieftain and chairman of the con
vention; Henrik Shipstead, elevated
by Minnesotans from a small town
dentist’s office to tl(e United States
senate; Mrs. Mabel Costigan, of
Denver and Washington, whose at
tractive personality was enhanced
by an eye-catching blue costume,
and Representative John M. Nel
son, Wisconsin congressman and
probable campaign manager for La- ;
Follette, all devoted their best ef
forts to that theme.
Two big portraits of La Follette,
were on the stage, flanked by a simi
lar couple of Lincoln and one each
of Washington and Jefferson. The
parallel was so plain that galleries
and floor alike caught the signifi
cance of the Fourth of July, exercises
which preceded the formal proceed
ings.
They especially liked the insurgent
phraseology of the declaration of in
dependence when it was read by
Charles J. McGowan, and they cheer
ed the Lincoln Gettysburg speech,
with its slogan that government of,
for.and by the people should not per
ish.
An enormous American flag was
the background for the speakers as j
they ascended a pulpit-like rostrum ,
and delivered their thrusts at oppo- j
nents of insurgency, and “America’’ !
was roared lustily when Chairman
Johnston called for two verses of it.
The big public auditorium of Cleve
land, where the Republican national
convention met in June, was the
scene of the gathering, and all the
regular scenic setting of an orthodox
national political ' convention was
provided for the occasion.
About 700 delegates were admitted i
on credentials, the count of the com
mittee, which issued the badges be- ,
ing more than 600 when it finished |
its labors early today after a ses- |
sion which started yesterday after
noon. Late arrivals swelled this
number a bit.
Communists Roughly Handled
Early Friday the credentials com
mittee still was faced with the
cases of William Mahoney, who
offered credentials from the Min- !
nesota Farmer-Labor federation, j
and R. D. Cramer, who car-1
ried credentials from the Minneapo- ‘
lis Trades and Labor assembly. Both
hold places in the national Farmer-
Labor party organized at St. Paul, I
last month with Communist groups
as units, and the conference lead
ers here were frankly suspicious of
their standing as non-Communists.
Known extremists have been given
short shrift by the credentials com
mittee.
Mahoney and Cramer waited until
midnight last night for hearings, and
then were told to come back at noon
today. They did not relish this
treatment, but an appeal to mem
bers of the national committee ;
brought no relief.

WILL HER QUIT,
M’flDOO DECLARES
TO HISOELEBATE
Leaders of All Factions as
Firm as Ever Against
Compromise
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to Tl'e Journal.)
(Copyright. 1924.)
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York, July 3. —William Gibbs
McAdoo sent word to the delegates at
the Democratic national convention
today through his floor managers
that he would never withdraw his
name from the presidential contest.
The bitter-end attitude means that
the McAdoo forces will be able to
retain at least 250 votes as a block
against someone else’s nomination.
So long as the McAdoo men persist
in this stand, there are two or three
favorite son delegations which will
not swing to any other candidate. A
deadlock for several days more is
the only prospect.
Tom Taggart began his drive for
Senator Ralston, of Indiana, but
since it had the appearance of an
anti-McAdoo attack, the McAdoo
lines stood fairly solid and the con
sensus of opinion is that Ralston
will reach his peak tonight and
probably. will not go much further
than did Davis, of West Virginia, yes
terday. The elimination of any candi
dates who start a drive and fail to
get even a third of the delegates
seems to be taken for granted here.
Since the two leaders —McAdoo and
Smith —cannot break down the fa
vorite so ndelegations any other way
they are saying they approve these
drives. The McAdoo men declare, for
instance, they ultimately can get
back the lost delegations which have
gone from them in today’s balloting.
Virginia Refuses to Shift.
The Virginia delegation which was
expected to go to McAdoo on the ad
vice of Senator Glass polled them
selves and a majority insisted on
voting for Glass, so the 24 votes con
tinue to be cast for Virginia’s fa
vorite son.
Missouri, Oklahoma and Missis
sippi are the states which have been
doing all the shifting in this con
vention but the two principal blocks
—McAdoo and Smith —remain all
powerful and neither side is con
vinced as yet of defeat. Until that
happens there will be no nomina
tion.
The endurance of the delegates
knows no bounds. Most of them are
so determined on their own candi
date that the convention will proba
bly sit over the Fourth of July, and a
record number of ballots will be
taken.
Little change was anticipated for
today’s voting, though, and the Mc-
Adoo camp expected defections. Okla
homa started the ball rolling by vot
ing for Senator Robinson, of Arkan
sas. Other states are inclined to
compliment Robinson, too, and, in
the parlance of the convention, after
Robinson has had his “ride” there
will be a tendency to get behind
Senator Ralston, of Indiana, to see
what strength he may develop.
These tactics of giving favorite
sons a chance are designed to bat
ter down the two leading candidates,
but the principal effort is directed
against the McAdoo states. Inas
much as Oklahoma left the fold to
vote for former Senator Owen, only
to come back to McAdoo last night,
the supporters of the former secre
tary of the treasury were not the
least perturbed today.
Confident of Both States
“We can have Oklahoma back
whenever we need their twenty
votes,” said Thomas B. Love, the
McAdoo leader from Texas.
Certainly the fluctuations of Mis
souri and Oklahoma have not had
the significance they would other
wise have if the vote were perma
nently kept in one place.
Talk of a conference of represen
tatives of the leading candidates
still continues, but Judge David
Rockwell, the McAdoo manager, said
today he would enter a conference
only if McAdoo were given the same
proportion of voting strength in
such a council as he had delegates
in the convention itself. This is
only another way of saying that
Rockwell would not compromise,
but would make another effort to
dictate the selection of McAdoo.
From all this the reader can in
fer that the two-score or more of
ballots which have been taken have
not in the least worn down the two
leaders, and that it may take an
other twenty ballots before either
Smith or McAdoo will concede de
feat and be ready to talk compro
mise.

Newest Invention to Have Far-Reaching Effect in Ob

Patients
NEW YORK, July 2. —They are
telephoning heartbeats now. And
scientists say the result may be
more wide reaching than even those
of ’phoning photographs. «
For the stethophone, the new elec
tric stethoscope developed by en
gineers of the Western Electric com

on the treatment of heart disease,
and the early detection of tubercu

It makes possible the wholesale

TALK WITHDRAWAL
DE M'JOOO. SMITH
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.
Nw York, July 3.—Several members
of the Democratic national commit
tee were discussing on the floor of
the convention today a suggestion
that the committee seek to end the
deadlock by pressing for the simul
taneous public withdraway of both
Smith and McAdoo.
“There still is some question
whether the time is ripe for such a
move,” said Josephus Daniels, for
mer secretary of the naty, when
asked about it. Cordell Hull, chair
man of the committee, thought the
suggestion had merit. Some mem
bers of the committee received the
suggestion favorably, and leaders
outside of the committee expressed a
willingness to confer on the ques
tion.
Apparently something developed
to blast the idea after it got under
discussion, for after casting about
on it Charman Hull said it “seemed
unreasonable” and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, manager for Governor
Smith, said “pooh-pooh.”

pear before the class at all —the
stethophone is taken to his bedside
and connected by wires to the class
room.
The stethophone consists of a
three-stage vacuum tube amplifier
mounted on wheels like the familiar
tea wagon. The sounds are picked
up by pressing an electrical chest
piece against the patient’s body. Aft
er amplification the electrical cur
rents go to head receivers equipped
either with stethoscope tubes or
covered with soft rubber against
which the listener presses his own
stethoscope. A group of electrical
filters cut out undesired sounds so
the listeners can concentrate on
what is most important.
By using the stethophone as a
• “microscope” for body sounds, phy
sicians hope soon to be able to make
earlier diagnosis of tuberculosis.
In childbirth, too, the ease with
which the child’s heartbeats can be
followed may save many lives. The
physician or nurse can listen con
tinuously, either through a. head set
with a long cord, or by connecting
a loud speaker. One grave danger
to the child is indicated by a change
in its pulse, and when this appears
instant action must be taken to save
its little spark of life.
INFECTED BLISTER
POTS COOLIDGE BOY
111 GBIVE CONDITION
WASHINGTON, July 4. —Calvin
Coolidge, Jr., younger son of Presi
dent and Mrs.(Coolidge, is seriously
ill at the White House suffering
from septic poisoning.
The illness, resulting from n
broken blister on the. foot, brought
about during a tennis match, reach
ed such a stage today that a con
sultaiton of physicians was held.
Dr. John Dover, of Philadelphia,
was called to Washington last night.
He conferred today with White
House physicians, Major James F.
Coupal and Lieutenant Commander
Boone, and Doctors Charles W. Rich
ardson, of Washington, and Colonel
William L. Keller in charge of Wal
ter Reed hospital.
Little attention was at first paid
to the injury, which occurred while
the two Coolidge boys were playing
last Monday. It become serious Wed
nesday, and last night the poison
had spread throughout the body, ag
gravating the case considerably. A
high fever resulted. Physicians have
issued no official bulletin so far.
Calvin, Jr., is 16 years old. He
returned to the white house from
school at Mercersburg, Pa., with his
brother, John, two weeks ago. The
boys have spent all of the time since
at the White House expecting to
enter within a few days the citizens’
military training camp at Camp De
vens, Mass.
President and Mrs. Coolidge have
called off all engagements for the
remainder of the day and also a
planned trip down the Potomac river
on the Mayflower. The president
kept an engagement this morning,
however, to speak before the conven
tion of the National Education as
sociation.
E. T. Clark, private secretary to
President Coolidge, in announcing the
illness chatacterized it as very pain
ful as well as in a serious stage. The
two White House physicians are re
maining in constant attendance.

Indiana’s Vote Is Didived
Between Two Leaders

Smith Plans to Give
Votes to Carter Glass;
Split Delegation Seen
BY RALPH SMITH
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York, July 4.—From a
source of unquestioned reliability,
I have just learned that when the
Smith forces break; they will try
to throw their support to Senator
Carter Glass, of Virginia. The
source from which the informa
tion came intimated, however,
that Smith himself may have
great difficulty in controlling his
forces, some of whom, it was
stated, will continue to support
him even after he withdraws his
name from the consideration of
the convention.
"Smith can’t quit,” it was said,
“because the matter is now be-
I yond his control, and his friends
won’t let him. However, there is
a disposition among certain of
them to fall in behind the candi
dacy of Carter Glass when the
worst comes to the worst.”
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York, July 4.—The sixty-fourth
ballot in the Democratic national con
vention brought the withdrawals of
Ralston, of Indiana, and Cox, of
Ohio. Indiana gave twenty to Mc-
Adoo and ten to Smith, while Ohio
voted to go for a while to Baker on
a few ballots, then to try Pomerene.
Mississippi went back to McAdoo.
The end of the ballot saw the lead
ers standing this way:
McAdoo, 488.5; Smith, 325.5; Davis,
61.5; Ralston, 1.
\ This was a gain of forty-two for
McAdoo; ten for Smith; a loss of one
and a half for Davis and a loss of
fifty for Ralston, leaving him only
one vote.
The voting on the 65th ballot show
ed some substantial changes. The
figures for the principals were: Mc-
Adoo, 492; Smith, 336.5; Davis, 71.5.
This was a gain of 4 1-2 for Mc-
Adoo; 11 1-2 for Smith and 10 for
Davis.
Taggart’s announcement of Rals
ton's withdrawal was followed by a
demonstration for Ralston during
which the band played “On the
Banks of the Wabash” and delegates
stood on their chairs and cheered.
There was a brief McAdoo demon
stration when it was announced that
the Indiana delegation gave 20 votes
to the Californian and ten to Smith.
Cox’s Telegram
Cox wired former Governor Camp
bell, chairman of the Ohio delega
tion :
“Whenever, in your judgment, the
withdrawal of my name from the
consideration of the convention will
promote harmony and bring the ex
isting deadlock to an end, I trust
you will, without delay, take such
action as you then deem advisable.
I have no personal ambition tfiat
rises above my devotion to the de
mocracy, and this message to you
is prompted by a desire to serve the
cause that has honored me.
"Many persons, remembering that
I am the titular leader of the party
until a nomination is made, have
asked that my counsel and advice
be given in the midst of a seeming
complication. This is not necessary
because the good sense and pa
triotism of the delegates can be de
pended upon. Nor would I think of
visiting proscriptions against the
name of honored and honorable men
whose states have proposed them as
worthy of a nation's trust. It is an
impertinance for anyone to conceive
it his right or duty to do such a
thing under the guise of leadership
or sincere purpose. The choice of the
convention becomes my choice and
my time and strength will be given
to his support the'moment he is
nominated.”
McAdoo and Smith Active
These developments appeared, how
--ver, only to increase the efforts of
the managers of campaigns for Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith, of New York,
and William G. McAdoo, to consoli
date their positions and bolster up
their forces.
Lieutenants of both were active
during the half day, and the man
agers of each went into the conven
tion declaring their position to be
stronger than when adjournment was
taken early today after the sixty
first ballot.
Mr. McAdoo was active during the
forenoon. He conferred with his
assistants, discussed the situation
with a group of railroad labor lead
ers and promised a group of about
100 women, including a number of
delegates, that he would fight “until
the last drop of blood runs out of
me.”
