strata OF paste like substance and
when a sample was analysed it was
pronounced to be pumice in a highly
| pulveriZed form. Some of it was
sent to All eastern concern which
manufactures preparations for the
teeth, with result that large
quantity was imm ediately purchased.
The formation exists in practically
unlimited quantities and it is eX-
pected it will be mined and placed OH

where it is believed they will have
the effect Of making Billings one Of
the most important distributing cen-

effect OH July /, according to j. M.
Hannaford, second vice president Of
the Northern Pacific, who held a con-
ference here this week with the trans

Postmaster General r. ii. Hitchcock
"or if proper provision is not mass
for the continuance of the service the
effect win be felt in the whole eoun-

more Maintain Strength
Of Early Voting
ABROGATE TWO-THIRDS RULE
Subject Is BrOaChed, but Much
Opposition TO the Plan
Develops.

Baltimore, July Immediately
after the Ncmocratic national conven-
ton reconvened the thirteenth ballot
was taken without result. Ii seemed
to be generally accepted that choice,
under the two-thirds rule. was a long
way off.
Ii was reported that Chairman
James might. from the platform, ad-
vocate the abrogation of this rule.
Senator Lea, floor leader of the pro
gressives, asserted a nomination would
mean nothing unless made by two
thirds of the delegates. also that II
would require a two-thirds vote to sus.
pend the rules to permit a majority
nomination and Chairman James,
when asked about the report, said he
had talked along the line indicated
but that he felt sure a nomination
would be given to Clark In view OF
the majority vote received by him.
He said If Wilson or any other man
should at some time receive a ma
iority and fail of nomination then Ii
might be necessary to change the
rules and that the convention had the
power to do so.
The roll call began with the same
monotonous repetition that marked
previous voting When Connecticut
was reached Wilson lost one vote to
Underwood.
The rumored shift In Nebraska did
not shift Clark getting 13, Wilson 3,
There had been some question as to
whether New York would cast its
ninety votes for Clark, but Charles F.
Murphy made his usual announce
ment OF ninety for Clark again and II
was apparent that there would be no
nomination.

Some Changes Made.

North Carolina gave Wilson a gain
OF one from the Underwood column.
Wilson also took two from Clark in
Ohio.
In Tennessee Clark gained six votes,
Wilson gained seven and one-half.
The seven and one-half were lost by
Underwood
In Alaska Clark gained one from
Wilson. Hawaii gave Clark gain OF
one from Wilson.
Porto Rico voted six solid for Will
son. a loss OF two fer Clark
In Virginia Clark gained two and
one-half from Underwood.
The result of the thirteenth ballot
was: Clark, 554, Wilson 1854. Tn.
derwood 115R, Harmon %, Marshall
60 Foss .. Bryan l.
This showed a gain OF Eve for Clark
Wilson gained two and one half and
Underwood lost seven and one-haif
Foss was put on the roll with two
votes. Kern received no votes and
Bryan was given one.
During the fourteenth ballot Chair
man James surrendered the gavel to
William Sulzer of New York and went
to the floor. He conferred with Sen
ator Stone of the Clark forces and
then hurried about visiting the yari
GUS delegations.
