Madison Square Garden, New York, July 7 (A*)— Brushing aside pending proposals for suspending rules and to release delegates, the Democratic national conven¬ tion today went hark to the dreary business of balloting for a presidential candidate. The proposition of fifteen min¬ ority candidates, including Gover¬ nor Smith, and counter proposi¬ tion of William G. McAdoo were rtported. Attempt to refer the proposals to the rules committee, led by McAdoo men, was defeated by a large vote. The effect of the move which was beaten was that report from the rules committee to eliminate the two-thirds rule could he adopted by a majority of the con¬ vention whereas two-thirds is now required. With that the con¬ vention went back to tussle and apparently to demonstrate that all sides are just as stubborn and unyielding oil Monday morning as they were on Saturday night. Two Propositions Madison Square Garden, New York, July 7 (IP)—Its course unchanged aft¬ er a day and two nights’ deliberation by party leaders and representatives of the sixteen candidates in t ie dead¬ locked national Democratic conven¬ tion, was called at 11 o’clock this morning to resume efforts to select a presidential nominee. With delegates who had been sup¬ porting' Governor A1 Smith and all other candidates except William G. McAdoo unconditionally released, Chairman Walsh of the convention and Chairman Hull of the national Democratic committee, were instruct¬ ed Saturday to confer with represen¬ tatives of the candidates “for the purpose of reaching an understand¬ ing” to break the deadlock had two proposals to report to the convention without recommendation—one in be¬ half of all the candidates except Mc¬ Adoo calls for action by the conven¬ tion itself to compel the uncondition¬ al release of the McAdoo delegates. The oilier, a counter proposal advanc¬ ed by McAdoo supporters provides in exjunction with release of the dele¬ gates for abrogation of the unit vot¬ ing and two-thirds nomination rules, progressive elimination from each successive ballot of the candidate re¬ ceiving the lowest vote and full strength voting by state delegations regardless of how many members may be absent.

After¬ ward, he will retire to his home out¬ side of Madison, Wis., for a short rest ^ and will then begin his active cam paign. j The senator will not make a long j traveling campaign from the hack of | a train, but will confine his speech ' making to several important centers front which bus addresses will be broadcast by radio. His activities vill be supplemented by vigorous work in the various states by his state leaders. REVOLUTION HAS BROKEN OUT IN SOUTH AMERICA RERELS TAKE POSSESSION OF SAO PAULO, BRAZIL—FEDER¬ AL WARSHIPS RUSHED Buenos Aires, July 7 (/P)—A revo¬ lution broke out in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Friday and the revolutionists took possession of the city. The coup d’etat is reported to have begun about 10 o’clock Friday night; it reached its climax at 8 o’clock urday morning and was completed by noon. The revolutionists gained con¬ trol of all the federal buildings after considerable lighting'. The federal government at Rio Janeiro is report¬ ed to have despatched war vessels to Santos, which is the port for Sao Paulo, together with troops to sup¬ press the movement. A Rio Janeiro dispatch to La Na cion says the Brazilian congress en¬ acted a government bill putting un¬ der a state of siege the states of Rio Janeiro and Sao Paulo for sixty -lays. This period the government will ex tend if necessary. Owing to censorship at Rio, and the seizure of the telegraph offices by the revolutionists in Sao Paulo, few details are coming through. A veiled private message from Rio Janeiro received by the Associated Press indicated an effort to commun¬ icate that there had been occurrences comparable in seriousness with the revolutionary outbreak in Rio Janeiro in 1922. will be accompanied by Harold II. Martin and Joseph C. Fehr, counsel, and Jackson C. Lusby, accountant and auditor. During Mr. Bonynge’s ab¬ sence, Henry B.

SECOND STRING CONTENDERS SEEM NOT ELIMINATED THIS, ALTHOUGH HAVE RELEAS¬ ED DELEGATES PERMITTING VOTE FOR WHOM DESIRED New York, July 7- Although they released their delegates today and offered them (UY 1 the f nil opportunity ft V\ • • r» y ■ T 11 n I f l r tn to tmfo vote I f°!’ ai| y candidate they desired to see nominated, the second string contend ers for the Democratic presidential nomination are not regarded as ing' eliminated themselves from the race. The offer -to release the delegates who have been voting for favorite sons as a matter of state pride or for trading purposes, was made at a meeting of the managers of all the candidates with Chairman Cordell Hull of the national committee, and permanent Chairman Thomas J. Walsh, of the convention, at the dorf-Astoria hotel. It was the out come of a conference of the favorite sons principal backers at which it was agreed to permit Senator Claude A. Swanson, of Virginia, to act as spokesman for the group. There is of course, no rule by which a delegate can be compelled to stop j voting for his or her choice- any more than there could be a rule which would compel him or her to vote for any candidate in particular. The re¬ lease of the delegates therefore may 'not have the full effect intended, but it will test the sincerity of the mana¬ gers who have made he gesture. Managers of Senator Underwood, John W. Davis, Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Senator Carter Glass, all of whom have a bloc of votes on each ballot, and those of David F. Houston and Homer Cummings, who have lat ent streng . th but no votes so f fpel that ,l... after ... ’ several . or more ballots demonstrate neither Smiht nor Mc¬ Adoo can be named blocks of dele¬ gates will leave them and thus elim¬ inate them.

REPRIMAND BY BROTHER, YOUNG GIRL SLAYS ANNA BORAR BECOMES HYS¬ TERICAL AT FUNERAL OF BROTHER SHE KILLED Yonkers, N. Y., July 7.—Fourteen year-old Anna Bobar became hyster¬ ical and wept without restraint at the bier of her brother, John, whom she is alleged to have killed with a butch¬ er knife when he reprimanded her for staying out late. Anna was taken to view the body at her home. “I didn’t mean to do it!” she ex¬ claimed. The girl looked at the body just be¬ fore the funeral, but did not attend the services at the Greek orthodox church of St. Nicholas or go to the grave. Anna has been ordered constantly guarded at the shelter of the Chil¬ dren’s society at Yonkers. As the grand jury which meets Wednesday has a large calendar and may not be able to consider the case before it ad¬ journs it is possible that she will have to remain locked up until September. “I ordered her watched closely,” said Coroner Frederick Snowden, who held the girl for the grand jury on a manslaughter charge. He explain¬ ed that he does not wish her to be harmed in any way or to get a chance to run away. Agent Preston Chapman, of the Children’s society, said that he thought the girl was not of normal mentality. He pointed out that she is backward in her school studies. CALVIN COOLIGE, JR., AT DEATH'S DOOR, IS FIGHTING BRAVELY Washington, July 7 UP )—Alter a night during which the patient is said to have been near death in three separate sinking spells, Cal¬ vin Coolidge, Jr., son of Presi¬ dent and Mrs. Coolidge, is still fighting bravely for his life to¬ day with safe passage through the morning hours giving slightly increased hope for recovery.

PRICE PiVE if' CITIZENS TALK OF PENDING BILLS AT MEETING TODAY ‘ No Real Opposition to Two Pro¬ posed Laws of Local Interest EIGHT DEVELOPS THOUGH OVER SHRIMP MEASURE Representative B. F. Mann Pre¬ sided, and Made Effort to Get View of the Majority.—Com i mittee Reports Tomorrow. A large number of local citizens met this morning in the assembly room of the Board of Trade at 10 I o’clock to hear read and discuss the three local Dills, now pending in the Georgia legislature, as well as the shrimp and oyster bill, which applies | to the entire state. Representative B. F. Mann presided and conducted the hearing mtisfactory and fair to all present. Of the three local bils, the one pre | pared by the county attorney giving the county commissioners additional power in reguating the type of vehi¬ cles that may be used on the public highway was first considered. This I bill also gives the county eommission i ers additional authority in regulating traffic on the county highways. There | seemed of those to lie no objection this bill. on the part ; present to | The other two local bills were pre i pared by the city attorney at the re¬ quest of the city commissioners. The first of these gives the city authority j to issue fifty thousand dollars addi¬ tional bonds for the completion of the | Brunswiek-St. Simon’s Highway. Such I a bond issue must bo ratified by the j people after passing the general as | sembly. There was no opposition to ! this proposition. The other city bill gives the city authority to regulate traffic and tolls on the Brunswick-iSt. Simon’s High¬ way. It also gives the city authority to acquire parks, and parking space i on St. Simon’s Island. While some I present opposed the latter feature of j the bill, the majority of those present i were inclined to the view that the city after making such a large outlay for , its citizens in building the Brunswick j St. Simon’s Highway, should by all ! means in cooperation with the county make ample provision for this com i fort and convenience to its citizens. At eleven o’clock, when the shrimp feature of the game, fish and oyster bill was reached the assembly room was crowded to its capacity and the meeting grew rather lively. However the chairman, with spirit of fairness and positiveness, kept the meeting in I perfect order. C. A. Taylor spoke for the packers; Messrs. Coper and Wal the packers; Messrs. Coker and Wal men, Judge E. C. Butts spoke for the Portuguese and the Brunswick citi¬ zens who took this view point. Sever¬ al of the local Portuguese also made talks. The result of the meeting seemed to develop very clearly the absolute need of very rigid regulation in the catching of shrimp as well as restrict¬ ing this privilege almost exclusively to the citizens of Georgia; that un¬ less this is done the future of the shrimp business is doomed. The house committee of the Georgia legis¬ lature will make its final recommen¬ dations on the bill at a meeting in At¬ lanta tomorrow.
