Whatever the members of the convention
may have thought, it soon became APP
parent that the great object of interest TO
the people of Indianapolis was Mr.. Breck-
inridge, of Kentucky. The local disappoint-
ment was pronounced when the hero of the
interesting Pollard episode not per-
mitted to speak Wednesday night, and local
sentiment fairly forced him on the conven-
ton at the early session of Thursday. Mr..
Breckenridge undoubtedly took this as an
other illustration of the absolute impossi-
bility of keeping good man down, and he
lost no time in taking the platform and
delivering a speech that he had carefully
prepared for the instruction of those whom
he invariably addressed my Teller citi-
zens." The audience respectful and
sood-natured. and the few Kisses that
greeted the orator were subdued into an
amused litter when Mr. Breckenridge spoke
vehemently against the party that went
wrong in Missouri and ''trified with her
honor" 1t was dangerous expression for
a gentleman in Mr.. Breckinridge's delicate
position. but he took all the chances and
made his point.

Apropos of Lii Hung Changes fondness for
asking very pointed questions. which often
prove decidedly embarrassing to those ques-
toned, an amusing story comes from Eng
land. In London he met woman of titled
family and influential social position. He
asked her how many children she had

responded the Earl, through his Interpreter
why haven't you had any more?' What
the titled lady replied to this is not re-
corded. His questioning of an Englishman
along the same lines brought out the fact
that the Engishman had no children. and
never had had any. Never had any," was
the surprised response from the Earl;
then why haven't you?'

exchanged by deputy sberifs and strikers
this morning at the Berea stone quarries.
No one was killed so far as known now. Ono
striker has hi. leg broke in two places and
many have sore heads as the result Of a hand

queries with tn avowed intention of driv
ing out the nou union mon at work. They
were met by the sheriff and 90 dtputies who
commanded them 10 stop. For answer the
strikers began firing and the aght then
became general. For a few moments, tee
strikers were redulsed and fell back to the
woods. The men in the quarries are quitting
for fear and the i'm portunitiss OF their wives.

another dash for the quarries and IL such
should prove to be, serious trouble will

NATIONS FINANCES.
Excess of Expenditures Over Re-
ceipts for Year $26,042,244.
Sugar Bounty Claims WIN Probably Be
Paid During July.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Tho comparative
statement OF the government receipts
and expenditures issued by the treasury
department today shows the total re-
ceipts from all sources during the fiscal
year just closed to have been 1926, ls9, 226,
and the expenditures, 1852, 231, 470, which
leaves deficit for the year OF S26, ,042, 24l.
Although there was a surplus for June
OF 2,349, 430, 1t is expected that the figures
for July will show q dencit OF at least
$40. 200, 900 and probably more. The ap-
preparation of 20, 100. 600 for sugar bounty
payments is now available, and 1t Is the
expectation that all of the claims VIII
have been settled and paid before the end
OF the month. During July the payments
on account of interest, pensions and
naval appropriations will be exceptionally
large, so that the deficit for the month Is
likely to be above $40, 600, 600 rather than
less.
The showing for the year is far from
satisfactory to the treasury officials, and
what Is equally as disquieting is the fact
that the immediate ruture promises moth
ing better. The receipts from internal
revenue during the year amounted TO
S146, o08, 264, nearly S1l, 500, 600 less than
the secretary's estimates sent to Congress.
The custom yielded s160, 534, 351, or sl1,-
465, ,649 less than the secretary's estimates.
The total receipts for the year, however,
show q gain of about sl2, 500, 600 over 1890.

MISS HODGDON ELOPED.
She Ran Away With Fred PendletOn
OF Westerly, r. L
Graduate Of School OF Oratory and Moved
in Fashionable Circles.

BosroN, July 1.-Fashionable circles OF
East Boston are now discussing the
elopement of Miss Annette b. Hodgdon,
an extremely well known and respecta bic
yousg lady OF that district, with MIR.
Fred Pendleton OF Westerly, X. l.
No event OF a similar natrre has ever
created the interest which centers IN this
particular case, because OF the extreIne
popularity OF the young lady, who, aside
from being mem ber OF the smart set,
Is a graduate Of a school OF oratory in
Boston, and has established for herself
reputation as public reader and an am-
ateur actress.
She is just 20 years of age, proposes
sing in face and figure, bright and pleas
ant and a good conversationslist, and
moved in the highest society.
She is the daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
William l.. Hodgdon of l30 Brooks street.
The facts of the elopement, as near as
can be lesrned, are about as follows: Miss
Hodgdon had been receiving the atten-
tioDs of a former East Boston young man
for the past three years, but according
TO the statement of her relatives was not
engaged TO him. Some six months ago q
new suitor appeared on the scene In the
person OF MIR. Pendleton.
He was not known to the young lady's
parents, although he visited her home
once in awhile. Neither MIR. nor Mrs.
Hodgdon noticed that the young lady
was bestowing more of her attention
upon the young man than they cared to
have her do, and when on Sunday, June
II, she left her home, stating that she
was going to visit relatives at Wey-
mouth, Mass, nothing was thought OF
the matter.
Miss Hodgdon's brother went to Wey-
mouth to visit the young lady, and
found to his surprise that his sister had
not been there.
lie at once notified his father, and to-
gether they set about an inquiry, which
only brought to light evidence that the
young lady had eloped.
This evidence was soon confirmed by
the receipt OF a telegram from the young
lady today saying that she was "marTled
ana happy" The marriage, the missive
stated, had taken place Tuesday, June %,
at 1880 a. M, in Cambridge.
The news came like a thupderbolt to
the family circle in East Boston, and
they were at loss TO account for the Pc
culjar action OF the young bride.
Mr.. Hodgdon says he wanted her to
continue her studies, and did not smile
upon the marriage idea. He would not
have consented TO her marriage at her age
TO any OF her young friends. de believes
that she eloped because she feared he
would not consent to her marriage at
this time.
Her present abode is unknown to her
parents, although they have received let
ters from her in which they say she ex-
pressed desire to return to the home
circle.

blow in the face, and then started

Washington. July 1.-The president
has always shown a disposition to deal
severely with persons who defraud PEN
sioners, and otherwise violate the PEN
sion laws. and this tendency is well ex-
hibited in his action upon three applica-
tlons for pardons in such cases. These
were the cases of Andrew j. Rocks Of
Georgia, Fal a. Marcellino of New
Mexico and Stephen o. w. Brandon OF
Tennessee, all convicted OF offenses
against the pension laws. The president
denied the application in each case, and
his endorsement plainly indicates the
repugnance he feels for this class Of Of
