OPEN CONVENTION
Meet at Atlantic City to Draft
Platform and Nominate
Candidates.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 10.-With
delegates in attendance from every
State in the Union and from many
of the outlying American possessions.
the national Prohibition convention
got under way here today. This Is
the first national political gathering
ever held in Atlantic City.
Today's session of the convention
was given over entirely to the open
ing address of the temporary Chair
man, Clinton N. Howard, of Roches-
ter, N. Y; to addresses of welcome,
and to the routine business of tenn
porary organization and the appoint
ment of committees on credentials.
permanent organization, rules and or
der of business, resolutions and plat
for"1. Tonight business will be laid
ass and there will be a meeting in
honor of the heroes" of the prohibit
ton cause. Thursday will come per-
manent organization and adoption of
a platform together with miscellane-
ous business. Friday will come the
nominations of presidential and vice.
presidential candidates.
Clinton N. Howard, of Rochester,
n. Y, temporary chairman of the
convention, made a speech which
bristled with denunciation of the
''boss-ridden, liquor-controlled old
parties" He declared nothing in the
way of real reform was to be gained
from either of them or from a third
party dominated by Colonel Roose-
welt.
A prohibition parade along the
boardwalk and the principal streets
of the city was scheduled for this af-
ternoon.
There is decidedly an "insurgent"
element in the convention, and some
of the sessions are expected to be
by lively controversy. Cues
tons relating 10 woman suffrage, the
initiative, referendum and recall and
a proposed change in the name of the
party undoubtedly will provoke de-
bate. Some of the delegates are in
sisting that the name of the party
be changed to Progressive and de-
clare that the prohibitionists were the
real progressives in the national
political field.

Board of Trade
Acts as Court

For the first time since 1j69 the ar
bitration committee of the Newark
Board of Trade was called on today
to exercise its powers as substitute
for the district and circuit courts and
decide a contention between two
members. The action was started by
the American Oil and Supply Com
pany for the purpose of being re-
heved of a claim of $57.64 made
against it by the Apex Leather Com
pany. The committee handed down a
unanimous decision denying the claim
of the leather company. The decision
is not subject to appeal.
The cause of the contention was ten
gallons of castor oil the American
Supply Company sold to the leather
company under the trade name of
Commercial castor OIL" The leather
company claims it ordered Castor
Oil No. g." a better grade than com
mercial."
The leather company used castor
oil to mix a formula, and alleges that
it spoiled the mixture and ruined all
the other ingredients, the total cost
of which were $57.64.
The oil company c~ontended that the
Apex Leather Company had not
proved that 1t was not some other
ingredients that spoiled the mixture.

board, vas clerk of the court. The
committee was composed of Levy
Weingarten. Robert w. Adams.

that the law becomes operative at a
time when they have thousands OF
unmarked bottles on hand. We want
to treat these firms with the same
fairness as the buying public, and
for that reason we have given them
a reasonable time to dispose of these
bottles. But wei have made this fact
plain to them. If any of those bot

Mr.. Waldron was asked concerning
his reputed %leniency in the prosecu-
ton of merchants found with de-
fective scales, weights and measures.
He explained that the law compelled
his department to refrain from prose-
cutting first offenders. Many mer-
chants. he further explained. had in
accurate weights, scales and meas
ures in their possession without any
desire to defraud. Most of them,
because of the laxity of city super
intendents in examining the appli-
ances, do not even know the latter
are defective until the State depart
ment's representatives call upon
them.
THE law distinctly specifies that
we must first arm the merchant who
has in his store a defective weighing
or measuring appliance" added Mr..
Waldron. IF we find the scale or
measure too imperfect for adjust
ment we con1scate it. If, however, it
can be placed in good working order,
we fix 1t up and leave it with the
merchant. In either case, however,
we do not prosecute. We explain
carefully the provisions of the law
and warn against a repetition of the
offense. There is never a second
warning. We always prosecute"

During the recess the Senate was in
= turmoil. One group centred about
Senator Dillingham;, a Lorimer SUD-
porter and chairman of the commit
tee which had Investigated his cleo
ton, and another surrounded Senator
Lea, Of Tennessee, who is one of the
leaders of the opposition. Senator
Lea announced that he would consent
10 an agreement to close all debate
at 8 o'clock this afternoon and then
a vote.
When the Senate meets today
an effort will be made 10 hurry the
ease through 30 that a vote can be
reached by night. Speeches will be
by Senator Johnston for Lori
ner, and by Senators Kenyon. Lea
and Reed against him.
Lorimer also will speak. Part OK
the discussion during the recess this
was whether Senator Lea
be allowed to make the last
speech or whether Lorimer should be
the last one heard.
Senator Loriiner is so ANXIOUS TO
make the last speech, that if Senator
Lea. by parliamentary strategy, sue
ceeds in forcing Lorimer TO speak
before him, the man whose case Is
being voted OIL is expected 10 demand
recognition for a second speech after
the others have all been heard.
