Rocky Ford, Colo. Sept. Sin pur-
suance of custom established more
than decade ago and maintained reg
ularly since that time the town of
Rocky Ford and the adjacent country
today gave itself over to the celebra-
tion of Watermelon Day. The val
lev hereabouts has long been famed
for its watermelons and canteloupes,
the crop being considered the finest
produced anywhere In the country and
the product finding ready market in
cities as far distant as New York and
Philadelphia. Today's celebration
was held in conjunction with the Ar
kansas Valley Fair and it attracted
scores of visitors from far and near.

PRICE ONE GENT
R. c. HILL IS NOMINATED.
The Fifth Congressional Demo
cratic Convention Met
In Baltimore
TODAY.

Delegates TO the Fifth Congressional
Democratic convention met at noon
today at Gross Street Market Hall.
Baltimore, and nominated DIR. Richard
5. Hill, of Prince George county, for
Congress from the Fifth Congressional
District, in opposition 20 Congress-
man Sydney +. Mudd
There were several aspirants for the
honor in the field, including b. Harris
Oamalier, of st. Mary's county, who
ran against Mr. Mudd on two previous
occasions, and Mr.. Robert w. Wells,
of Prince George county, a member of
the last House of Delegates, and sew
eral others, all of whom withdrew in
the interest of Dr. Hill, who is said
10 be the strongest man before the con.
vention. and the only man that could
beat Mr. Mudd. The withdrawal of
Mr.. Wells, who had many friends in
the convention, assured the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Wells said that, believing him
self not to be the choice of majority
of the convention, he felt that his
withdrawal would promote harmony
in the party and might further the
chances of redeeming the district from
Republican rule. my chief wish,
said Mr.. Wells, sis 60 see somebody
nominated who can carry the Fifth
district, and l believe that Dr. Hill
will be able to do this, when / could
not. / shall support him for the NOM
iDation and will do all can to bring
about his election.

adopted, and euloSistic remarks were
made by several delegates ON the de-

TURNED IN FIRE ALARM.
Democrats Claim Republicans Re-
sorted to Trickery to Break Up
Meeting mt Charlest0wn.

Hinton, W. Va, Oct. 1S.-Eigh'
speeches is the record Of the demo-
cratic candidate, Henry G. Davis, Mon
day. The principal meetings were al
Charlestown, where the special train
remained four hours; at Hinton and al
Ronceverte.
A fire in the governors mansion at
Charlestown, an alarm for which was
turned in as the meeting was in prog
ress, created some disturbance, espe-
cially as it was hastily rumored that
It was a trick to break up the meet
ing. The fire did little damage either
to the mansion or the meeting.
David B. Hill sent Mr.. Davis a tele-
gram from Indianapolis, which was
read at the Charlestown meeting to
the effect that after comforting with
numerous state leaders Mr.. Hill felt
confident in predicting democratic
victory in Indiana.

BISHOPS FOR DIVORCE REFORM
Hishest Body Of Episcopal Church
Reiterates the Sentiment EX-
pressed Three Years Ago.

Boston, Oct. 1S.-The house OF
bishops. one of the legislative bodies
Of the Episcopal general convention.
yesterday adopted an amendment to
the canon on marriage and divorce.
forbidding the remarriage OF any d.
vorced person. The amendment was
substantially the same as that which
was rejected by the house Of deputies
on Friday last. The action OF the
bishops was not unexpected, as the
sentiment Of that body was well
known. In fact a similar amendment
was passed at the San Francisco con-
vention three years ago but failed as
was the case this year to secure the
support of the other house. A confer
ence of committees representing the
bishops and the deputies will be held
to consider the disagreement, but lead
ing clergymen do not anticipate that
the deputies will recede from their vote
Of last week.

He is having hard fight all the time

whom he personally has the greatest

reproach him for having permitted the
