turn at that hour. Promptly at the
appointed hour the minister was on
hind and had posted two policemen to
be ready to make the arrest. IN
awares to the minister, his guide had
posted the proprietor of the suspected
speak easy"
On their arrival the little minister
marched in and asked if he could get
a quart of liquor. The proprietor in a
confidential tone said, Il haven't any
thing but some corn today. You can
get that; it is $1.50 per quart" The
minister said alright, I'll take it. .
He paid the $3.50 and received his bot
tie well wrapped. which he slipped I'M
der his coat in what he supposed to be
true professional style and marched
out and straight to where the two po-
licemen were stationed.
GO in and arrest that man." he
said. 81 just bought a bottle of liquor
in there" The police said to let them
see 1t. They carefully unwrapped the
bottle and found quart bottle filed
with shelled corn.
The joke was on the minister but he
showed he was game.

TEN RATS
WERE EXAMINED
NOT MANY RODENTS WERE DE-
( LlVERED TO THE STATE BAG
THEOLOGICAL LABORATORY
YESTERDAY.

Only ten rats were examined yester-
day by DR.. F. A. Brink, who is in
charge of the state archaeological
laboratory, and who is paying three
cents each for the rats delivered to
the laboratory, the money for this pur-
pose having been appropriated by the
city council some time ago. None OF
the rats examined yesterday showed
any symptoms Of bubonic plague. None
Of them were brought from the vi
cinity of the waterfront.
DR.. Brink urges those who are in
terested in the health of the city to
make a special effort to secure more
of the rodents for examination and
says that he is enough interested in
the health of the community to spend
the time necessary to examine any
number that may be brought to him.

work the men overtime every day in
an effort to make up for some of the
lost time.

ENFORCE THE LAW
OFFICER IS TOLD
APPEAREFe BEFORE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS YESTERDAY
FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

Special Officer Don McCaskill. who
is in charge at St. Simon, was in the
city yesterday and appeared before
the board of county commissioners for
further instructions as to the enforce
ment of the near beer law On st.
Simon. Mr. McCaskill stated that
while he was few weeks ago noti-
fed to see that all laws were en-
forced on the island, at the same time
he had understood that some of the
commissioners had stated that deal
ers should be Permitted to andle
beer as in the past and he appeared
before the board for definite instruc-
tions.
The question was not further dis
cussed by the board, but the officer
was further instructed to see that
all laws on the island, no matter what
they are, must be enforced to the
very letter. This means that no beer
will be sold on the island at all and
even the sale of such things as soda
water and the like may be stopped on
Sunday. 1t is a violation of the state
law, and now that the officer ha, been
instructed to enforce every law in ex-
| istence, it will be up to him to see
that st. Simon is made the most or
derly little resort in all the country

Baltimore. July 2.-Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey, was today nomi-
mated for the presidency of the dem
ocratic national convention. The nom
ination was made at 3.15 p. m. on the
forty sixth ballot, after Underwood
and Foss had been withdrawn; Clark
had released his supporters and New
York, as climax had moved to sus-
pend the balloting and make the NOM
ination of Wilson by acclama'ion.
There was objection to this plan.
As the final roll call came on, state
after state fell into line for the New
Jersey executive, piling up Al. over
whelming majority. The result was
received with tumultuous denonstra-
tions by delegates and spectators.
Senator Bankhead of Aiaoama,
quickly withdrew Underwood Sen

Champ Clark, released all Clark dele
gates. at the same time saying Mis-
souri, would vote for him to the end.

drew Governor Foss from cons-dera-
ton.
Rv this time it was apparent Will
son would win on the forty sixth Dal-
lot. and the convention was in an
uproar. delaying the call for long
while.
Woodrow Wilson continued to gain
steadily in the balloting for the pres
idential nomination, but after the for
ty-third ballot his progress was SLOW.
His managers had confidently expect
ed his nomination on the forty fifth
ballot. but at that time his total was
633. as against 725 IL necessary to
nominate. Clark's total at that time
mad dWlnQlod 10 oOo.
Woodrow Wilson gained 19S votes
on the forty-third ballot, the fr-t cast
today. and the hopes for breaK ap-
peared at hand.
Illinois So delegates propelled the
movement and gains we're MADE also
from Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa. Louis

Wilson's vote was COZ, a majority
of the convention 1t was the high
est vote he had received, and +fe vote
of 929 cast for Clark was the lowest
he received during the prolopga1 bal
loting. When the result was finally
announced the demonstration for Will
son was an enthusiastic p"c(racted
one. Wilson lacked only 124 of the
necessary two-thirds to nominate.

The information that came from tn
