Chicago, June 17.-Down to bust
ness at last. the Republican national
convention entered upon its second
day with several important factors
unsettled, and with trouble enough in
sight to make it practically certain

be made and the work of the conven'
tion completed. In view of the impor'
tant matters before various commit

sion of the convention would be com
paratively perfunctory so far as the
main purpose of nominations is con-
cerned. Features of the day are rep
resented by the parade of marching
clubs, reports of committees and the
speech OF Senator Lodge as perma-
nent chairman of the convention.
Half al hour before the convention
opening was scheduled there were on

MISS MCCONNELL BRIDE
OF DR.. GEORGE A. LIPP,

With a simple service and a quiet
home wedding, Miss Alma o. McCon
aell last night became the bride OF
DR.. George A. Lipp. The affair was
held at the home of the brides moth
er, Mrs. M. z. Mcconnell, of North
Kentucky avenue. 1t was attended by
the Immediate relatives and few
close friends. DR.. Charles E. Lukens
was the officiating minister.
For the occasion the Mcconnell
home was tastefully decorated in the
flowers of the season, the color scheme
being green and white. In the parlor
the decorations were especially at
tractive and for this day a beautiful
altar of white sweet peas and their
green foliage was erected at the place
where the ceremony was to be said.
At nine o'clock, Miss Viola Mcconnell,
sister of the bride, took her place at
the piano and played Mendelssohn's
march, to the rythm of which the bri-
dal party advanced to the altar of
flowers, the minister preceding, then
coming the bride with the matron of
honor, Mrs. H. L. Gill, then the groom,
unattended, and finally the ring-bear-
er, little Miss Amy Chappell Gill, bear
ing the gold band on a heart-shaped
cushion. The gentlemen of the party
were in black and the rest in pure
white, Miss Mcconnell wearing white
bouquet of white roses and sweet
peas. looking the part of sweet.

The service was according to the
Presbyterian custom, the ring bear
ing an important part in the giving
of the promises. All the while the soft
tones of Hearts and Flowers" could
be heard
After the ceremony the party was
served appropriate refreshments,
while the congratulations were being
given and received, and while the cou-
pie were receiving their gifts, which
were beautiful to say the least.

tials says as to the reasons for aban-

fight it out. Knowing that we can get

we decided to let the matter go for

Chicago, June 17-"Cummins or
Fairbanks" Such declared the Cum
minis men this morning was the ques-
ton. And they added that Fairbanks
would not take the nomination if Of
fered him, and that if he took it the
administration would not accept him.
The supporters of Fairbanks did not
for moment accept this analysis of
the situation, but conteiided that the
supporters of Taft would be only too
glad to welcome the denomination
of the Vice President. They also urg-
ed that under such pressure as is
likely to be brought to bear Fairbanks
will not be able to refuse to permit
the use of his name.
The supporters of Curamins are in

are not without hope.

report was then adopted vive voce.

COURT HOUSE TO BE WIRED
Night Sessions of Circuit Court Expected
 to be Held Next Term

Night sessions of the Faulkner circuit court, with a resulting sav- ing of several hundred dollars to the county, will probably be held at the next term, which convenes ln January. Judge Lea has just let the contract for wiring the courthouse for electricity and he work will be completed in time for the next term. Eight or fen of the new tungsten lights will be hung ln the main courtroom and other lights will be distributed through out the building.
 The days are so short during the winter term that an early ad- Journment is necessary on account of darkness. By holding court an hour or two longer each day from one to two days may easily be saved on each term, and as the cost of the court averages over S2oo a day, the expense of putting in the lights will be paid several times over during the first time they are used.

ALMOST A MILLION IN GOLD
Eight Hundred Thousand in Yellow Coin
 In State Treasury /

Little Rock, Dec. I7.-(Special) Arkansas may be poor state to some, but it is long on gold. The pocr old state only has small amount on hand-just enough to keep two men busy for three days counting it. Expert Accountant Al Shields, who, with the assist ance of Treasurer Yates, is count ing the states money, has spent nearly three days this week count ing the gold in the states vaults. Great stacks of the yellow coins were in front of the counters all the time and thousands of dollars were slowed away by them daily. The counters are now going over the other monyes of the state, with the warrants in possession of the treasurer, and when the work is done some some announcement will be made as to how much money the state really has. In the thousands of gold coins handled, which amounted to about $500, 900, only four of the new gold coins which were afterward recalled were found, three of the SIo denomina- tion and one $2o, showing how closely the coin collectors and cu- rio hunters have gathered up the supply.
