They Were Playing tn The Early
 Morning Hours When . Rude
 Court Today.
 Selma. July 5-(Special.) )-Riverside Park. where on days in the years gone by there has cavorted many of the American Leagues, as well as some of the diamond stars. of the Southern League of today, and where Selmians have witnessed many hundreds or games of baseball, was the scene of a Sunday baseball contest during the early hours of this morning.
 It was the first time in the history of Selma that Sunday baseball has ever been attempteq at Riverside Park. The game was newer finished. but the few Innings, of.it which were played proved exciting 10 the spectators, who were enjoying the sport as only base ball enthusiasts can. when a bluecoat wended his way across the county bridge which spans the Alabama River then over the long stretch of sand hills and across the little brooklet in- to Riverside Park, where he placed the eighteen baseball players under arrest and marched them to police headquar" terR.
 After the baseball players had ar- rived at police, Headquarters, Mayor Atkins appeared, upon the scene and the eighteen violators of the State law . which prohibits Sunday baseball were turned loose upon their own recogniz- ance to apear in police court Monday morning at g o'cock.
 What the outcome of the cases will be in police court tomorrow morning is problematical- Later during the year the eighteen cases may be also fully investigated by a grand jury and fdictments may be returned against the young men who engaged in tho game. Whether the fact that no ad- mission fee was charged Into the grounds will have any bearing upon the disposal of the cases Is also a question of law that will only be de. cided by the courts
 During the past week a number of young men organized two baseball clubs and arranged to play a game at During the week after the closing of places of business the young men have been going to the park and practicinK for the contest and this morning about o'clock the members of both cIubs and a number of their friends gather ed at Riverside Park and the game was started.
 Several innings had been played and several squabbles with the umpire had been engaged in and the score was I to when the police appeared upon the scene and placed the members of each club under arrest.
 While each of the young men knew that 1t was violating a State law to play a game of baseball on Sunday. he did not think that the city officials would interfere as no admission fee would be charged and as only few of their friends knew that the game was to be played.

Al conserxntive platform.

Denver. Colo. July 6.-Conservatisrn has been the prevailing note of the dis cussion on the subject of the National Democratic platform today. This dis- cussion has been induiged in freely among prospective members of the Resolutions Committee as well as among leaders of the party generally and Mir. Bryan has been quoted as be- ing in harmony with the idea--the one radical plank which seems to be con- ceeded will go into the document, will be the expression on the subject of in junction as applied In labor disputes. Those who oppose strong. language on this subject are conceding that their effort will not be potent to prevent the adoption ,of plank which will pledge the party to an amendment of the law which will make notice of the issuance of a preliminary injunction imperative;, also that provision will be made for hearing of the case before a different judge than the one Issuing the injunction, and for a hearing of the facts in the, case by a jury
 There promises. to be struggle be- fore the Resolutions Committee over the question: of an anti Mormon plank. Four years ago at St. Louis, such plank was made a part of the Demo cratic National platform and an effort Is to be made to havelit re-instated in that document Former United States Senator Fred DuBois of Idaho today made an active canvass of the situa- ton in behalf of the plank. Senator Dubois Is involved in a contest for seat in the convention, but he has ar- nounced that, however that question may be settled, he will go before the Resolutions Committee with the anti Mormon plank and bring to bear every influence possible in its behalf.
 It is asserted by the Utah delegation that no such plank will be adopted. Judge w. H Rink of Salt Lake City, who has been chosen as Utah's member of the Resolutions Committee. has the unanimous backing of his delegation in opposition to the plank. His argument Is that the Mormon, question is dead issue. He asserts that the practice of polygamy has ceased in Utah, and that the only remnant of 1t lives in a num- Der of old Mormon patriarchs who mar ried their wives long before the prac- tice was declared unlawful. and who are not by their. quiet lives creating a ripple on the new order of things.
 Efforts were made today. the mat ter being engineered by the members of the New York delegation, to have MT Dubois abandon his efforts for an anti-Mormon plank, but without avail.
 H. B. Fuller, legislative representa- tive of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainneh, will offer the same injunction tplank to the Resolutions Committee that was presented to the Republican Convention at Chicago.

The vice-PresIdency.

Denver, Colo, July 5.-The ques- tion of selection of a candidate on Democratic ticket for the Vice-Presi- dency will not be determined until af- ter the nomination of q candidate for the Presidency This is the decree of Mir. Bryan, and has been communicated to the Bryan leaders. Mir. Bryan has taken the position that not until after the first position has been filled can there be a really intelligent selection for the second place.
 When the nomination shall have been made and there shall be an op- portunity. to consider its effect upon the country at large, then. he thinks, and not until then. can the Vfce-Presi- dency be intelligently considered. This desire on the part of MT. Bryan has been received generally with favor. Most of the delegates agree that the situation can be seized up to better advantage after the first selection has been completed than before that event, and, furthermore. that there has been so much talk regarding the Vice-Presi- dency that most of the delegates well come an excuse for at least temporarily dropping the subject.
 Mir. Bryan has not hesitated in let ting the fact be known that if the nomination. for the Presidency goes to WI to the choice of a running mate.
 He has repeatedly said that he would prefer Judge Gray for this position, but today for the first time since the dele Eations began to gather, there has been a falling off in the Gray Vice-Presi- dential boom.
 It was generally credited to the posi- tive statement made yesterday by Judge Gray that he would not consider the place. It is also known that some strongly antagonistic representations concerning Judge Gray, have been re- gently made to Mir. Bryan by his rec oEnized advisers. who declare that these have not failed of effect.
 There has also been decided falling of during the day in the effort to boost Judge Gaynor of New York for the Vice Presidency. It has been hinted that Mir. Gaynor has antagonized the Catholic Church, and" said delegate who is himself Catholic, Tt Is not to be supposed that we are going to take chances in this campaign of nom- mating a man who is at least not &C., ceptable to the Catholic vote.
 It will still -iSy.oygcgy-; y-;orzogokowf . It is still contended, however. that if New York will get together and name an acceptable candidate, the Vice Presidential nomination will go to that State.

Pols THE CALHOUN STATUE.
Crowded Condition Of Hall Likely to
Render Location Difficult.

Washington April 20.--South Ca
roiinfans in Washington are already
beginning to discuss the unveiling of
the Calhoun statue In the National
Capitol and many Of the incidents
that will be connected with the occa-
sion. le5it~sj| =
When Governor Ansel and the
other members Of the Calhoun statue
commission were here a few days ago
on their return from New York,
where they had been to inspect the
model, they made an informal inspC c.
tfon of Statuary Hall with the idc Z,
In view Of picking out good loca.
tion for Calhoun. When 1t comes to
permanent location there may be
some little trouble In finding II place.
because the hall is already full now.
and In order to place any more
statues in it 1t will be necessary to do
a considerable amount OF shifting and
moving FROM one point to another.
A few years ago when the statue
of Frances e. Willard, the great tenn
perance adyocate-and the only wo-
mah in the -hall--was being put in,
1t was found that in order to give IT
the place assigned to 1t q move of
Gen. George Washington would have
to be made. That was the only way
that the Willard statue could be
given prominent place. Virginia
the State that had placed Washington
In the hall-raised vigorous pro-
test, and some of her people said they
would prefer to have Washington re-
main where he was rather than place
him in an obscure position to make
room for the Willard statue. The
latter was put In place, however,
with the result that Washington was
moved to the rear behind Frances
willard and does not command at all
good position.
Just where the Calhoun statue will
be placed is an interesting question
that will have to be decided when
Sculptor Ruckstahl has completed his
work
Superintendent Elliott Woods. the
man who controls the Capitol and
grounds, was asked day or two ago
where he thought he could place the
new statue. He said that he did not
know, because 1t looked now like
every available inch of space was al
ready taken, and in order to place in
more statues many changes would
have to be made.
There is one small corner of Stat
uary Hall where some space may be-
utilized, and that is the little cut off
place now used as a ladies' reception
room. 1t is not a good location, how
ever, and it Is not probable that any
State would want 1t.
While no program has been an
nounced yet in connection With the
placing Of the statue. 1t is almost GER
tain that in addition to whatever
ceremonies the State Of South Caro-
lima has old Carolinians now residing
in Washington will also provide en-
tertainment.
