Indianapolis, Ind, June 1.-THE
Democratic State convention met at
1925 at Tomlinson Hall this morning
for the purpose of adopting a platform
and nominating a state ticket. The
delegates were slow in coming into the
hall, which was very hot, despite the
fact that all the windows were, thrown
open The Hobbies were cooler and
the delegates persisted in staying
the .ntl after 10 o'clock, the hour
for the opening.
When John w. Kern went to the
platform he was generously applaud
ed. When State Chairman O'Brien
called the convention to order most of
the delegates were in their seats.
s-here were several vacancies in the
rifth and Seventh district delegations
The Rev. Robert w. Thompson led
in prayer.
William Johnson, of Montgomery
county, chairman of the committee on
rules and permanent organization,
then gave the report to this committee,
formally naming b. +. Shively as per-
manent chairman, NJ. A. Sweeney, Du-
bois county, as permanent secretary,
and Oran Hack of Indianapolis, as SER
geant-at-arms. The name of Shively
was applauded. The report was
adopted.

who received an ovation.
Speaking without notes and with
C. ar voice, Chairman Shively held the
attention of the sweltering delegates
from the start.
Leading up to Bryan-the magic
name of the convention-the speaker
referred to Jefferson, Madison, Mon.
roe, Jackson, Thomas w. Macy. He
then referred to the Democratic sup
port that had been given the Republi.
can President in his efforts to secure
the passage of the rate bill.
THE rate bill is good Democratic
doctrine" said the speaker, similar
to that advocated in the last three
Democratic platforms and similar to
those policies which caused the great
Democrat to be called reactionary and
revolutionary. refer to William Jen.
nings Bryan" The name caught the
convention. and all of the applause
that had gone before in the conven-
ton, could it be punched together,
would not have aggregated the applause
and cheering that greeted the name
of Bryan.
Chairman Shively called for the re-.
port of the resolutions committee, and
S. M. Ralston, chairman Of the com,
mittee, started to read the platform
adopted.
Broke Loose at Bryan Plank.
The delegates knew what was com.
Ing. Despite the strenuous efforts of
the committee to keep it still, every
delegate In the hall knew that the very
q first plank in the platform was a hear
ty Endorsement of Bryan. Yet when
that plank was read the delegates rose
to their feet and cheered themselves
hoarse-and this was increased when
an oil painting of Bryan. hanging back
of flag on the stage, was lowered in.

LAST H0P7 is NOW GONE
Ohio Operators and Miners Fail to
Reach an Agreement and Strike
Seems Certain.
Publishers Press1

Columbus. o., June THE last hope
for peaceful settlement of the strike
which has completely tied up the Ohio
coal fields, went glimmering today
when the operators and miners failed
to reach an agreement on the question
at issue and adjourned. Special
meetings of both bodies were held at
once to decide on their future plan of
action and it is admitted that it will
now be a fight to a finish with the ad-
vantage on the side of the operators,
inasmuch as two regiments of Nation
al Guardsmen are already in the field.

DIVISIONS OBJECTED TO
IN THE APPELLATE COURT
Movement Now on Foot Among At
torneys to Have All Six Appellate
Judges Sit in All Cases Brought
to That Tribunal.

Richmond attorneys will be inter
ested in knowing that Logansport at
torneys are responsible for a move
ment seeking an amendment of the
Appellate Court law. looking to the
unifcation of the present two divis
ions of the Appellate Court. and have
appointed committee consisting OF
NJ. j. Winfield. NJ. B. Larry and S. T
Mcconnell, TO communicate with ev
cry bar association in the State on
the subject.
The objection to the present ar
rangement. whereby the six judges
sitting on the Appellate bench are di
vided in two divisions of three judges
each, is that frequently the opinions
of but one of the judges prevail
while the other two simply acquiesce
whereas If all six judges were re-
CURED to sit in every case, the con.
testing parties would receive the ben
eft of the judgment of six men. Near,
ly every attorney present at the meet
ing of the bar association had some
complaint to make concerning the OPP
Grafton of the present arrangement OF

st. PeJt1sD4-.s. NOV. -s.-Exposu~e
Of gross Irregularities in the disburse-
ment of government relief in the fam
inc stricken provinces, coming as it
does at a time when narrowing de-
scriptions of sufferings of the starv-
ing reach st. Petersburg. threatens to
result in a big scandal which may
involve a member of the cabinet, and
which, it is believed, will have infiu-
ence in the coming elections. The
Novoe Vremya, the most influential
newspaper in the capital, is taking the
lead in the agitation, and with great
indignation 1t hurls the reproach that
the funds for relief voted by parlia-
ment have been misused. Negligence
and delay have been exhibited, the pa
per charged. while the lives of many
thousands were in peril.
The affair developed into a sensa-
ton of the highest order when it was
reported that the council of ministers
summoned Assistant Minister of the
Interior Gurko and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION of how the relief funds were
handled
Famine conditions in the provinces
Of Kazan, Simbirsk, Samara, Saratov
and other Volga governments have
now reached a most desperate stage.
The situation this year is worse than
for ten years past According to ex-
perts the famine is only slightly, il at
all, less severe than the great famine
of 1891. which enlisted the sympathy
of the civilized world, and caused the
United States to send shipload of
grain, clothing, ETC., to Russia. Thou
sands of peasants in the stricken dis
tricts are now in the grasp of actual
starvation, the cold Of winter has al
ready begun and letters and dis
patches describe the piteous condition
Of the peasants, who are eating pig
weed and hay in order to lessen the
pangs OF hunger, and are generally
resigning themselves alphabetically
and hopelessly to their fate, only in
rare instances, resorting to violence.

FRICTION IS NOT SERIOUS
SAYS CHINESE MINISTER
Attaches no Importance to Reports
from China that the Japanese Goods
Are to be Boycotted-But a Misun.
Outstanding.
Publishers Press.1

Washington, Nov 29.-Sir Chen
tung LANG Cheng, the Chinese min
lister, says there is much misunder-
standing about the action of China in
limiting the number of young Chinese
students who are to go into Japan to
complete their education.
There are about 10000 Chinese
students in Japan, and of these per-
haps 5000 are Chinese young men
who have been highly educated in
their home and are in Japan to study
a few months preparatory to becom-
ing teachers in China. The minister
says this system of having young men
take such brief course in Japan has
not been satisfactory either to the
Chinese or to the Japanese. Conse-
quently, the Chinese government de-
cided to forbid the provinces sending
young men for such short courses, and
will insist that three or four year
courses be taken by students going to
Japanese schools.
The Chinese minister attaches no
Importance whatever to reports from
the orient that China is about to boy
colt Japanese goods, and expressed
the opinion that this rumor may have
risen out of the misunderstanding of
the Chinese governments action con-
corning students going to Japan.

Navies.

Paris, No. nankSg1V-
ing eve dinner OF the American colony
in Paris a notable speech was made
by Baron 'Estournelles de Constant,
who made reference to the present
growing demand for the limitation OF
the enormous ornaments now weigh
ing down the countries of Europe and
the timidity Of the powers to take the
initiative In this direction. The
speaker declared that this initiative
belongs to the United States. He
declared that if President Roosevelt
had the courage to submit a clear
proposition along these lines to The
Hague tribunal, France, Great Britain
and Italy would support him and that
Germany, contrary to common belief,
would welcome the proposal.
While the next Hague conference
might not bear this fruit, the speaker
predicted that five years would see
limitation Of ornaments and the
world on the high road to a realization
of the dream of arbitration as sub
stitute for the horrors of war.
Baron d Estournelles de Constant is
president OF the group in the French
parliament which favors international
arbitration.

BOTH WANT SP|TzBERGEN
TWO COUNTRIES SEEK 1T
mo Mans Land" FAR up in the North,
Is Now Sought for by Both Norway
and Sweden-The Powers Are Ap-
peaIed To.
Publishers Press.l

81. fete @9urs, nov. Norway
and Sweden applied to the foreign
office here for recognition of their
claim to the ownership of Spitzber-
gen. The possession of these islands
far UP in the north. mo mans land"
apparently, is keenly desired by both
countries.
Ten years ago Sweden and Norway,
then united monarchy, applied to
Russia for recognition of a claim to
this territory. Russia refused her
consent and the application is renew
ed by the two powers, in the hope
that the change in Russia's circum-
stances will lead to a different deci
sion. 1t is understood here that these
two nations applied simultaneously to
other European powers for settle
ment of their conflicting claims.
The claims OF Sweden are based on
the fact tha. a number of Swedish
scientific expeditions visited and stud
led the islands during the last CEN
fury. while Norway bases her claims
to the right of possession on the an
nual trips Of fishermen to this ice
bound land for the purpose of killing
whales. walruses and polar animals.

THE OPINION OF HANLY
SHOWN TO BE GOOD ONE
If Michigan Two Cent Rate Law Was
Followed in Indiana, all But Seven
Railroads Would be Affected BY
it.

Indianapolis, Nov. 90. (Spl)-
Some months ago, when the agita
ton for a 2-cent railroad fare became
pronounced, Governor Hanly in q
printed statement, referred to the law
of the State of Michigan as being a
conservative one for Indiana to fol
low with reference to this question
The Michigan law provides that the
straight 2-cent fare should obtain
with all those roads having a total
gross income of more than $4,000 a
mile.
If such basis were adopted for a
2-cent fare in this State, practically
all Of the Indiana roads would have to
come to the new rate, according to the
report of the Railroad Commission,
just submitted to Governor Hanly.
This report shows that there are only
seven roads operating in the State
with total gross earnings of less than
$4,000 mile-the Central Indiana; ;
Monon; Chicago, Indiana & Eastern;
Cincinnati, Bluffton e Chicago; Ev-
ansville e Indianapolis, and the LOU
isville, New Albany & Corydon.
