Chief of Police John ". Donahue
today received a letter from James
C.. Matchett, executive secretary of
the state board of visitors for pub
lie institutions, asking for the num-
be1 of pool rooms in the city, and for
his opinion as to whether he consider
ed pool rooms juvenile schools of
crime, and for a suggestion in the
way of state legislation to bring re-
lief.
Mr.. Donahue sent a reply today,
and stated to The Free Press that
he considered pool rooms schools of
crime for the youngsters. In these
places they learned to loaf, became
lazy and later to hatch out crime
plots. He had no suggestion as to
state legislation for relief.

night or Tuesday morning. Just why
they took the pop no n appears to
be able to tell, but probably there
were some minors among them and
not caring to be hailed before Judge
Kellam on a charge Of furnishing beer
to minors, they thought as a mat
ter of courtesy to the minors they
would hook onto a couple bottles of
pop for them, thus killing two birds
with one stone as it were, quenching
the minors thirst and shutting their
mouths as to who stole the beer.
Fairmont Sentinel: On Saturday
Joseph Clare Musser of Rutland Sc
cured from Clerk of Court Flygare
his last papers and is now a full
fiedged citizen of the United States.
1t sounds a little strange to hear of
a man who was born at Owatonna,
Minnesota, having to take legal steps
necessary to become a citizen of our
country. Eight years ago Mr.. Musser
emigrated from Martin county to
Canada and after three years resi-
dence under the Union Jack, became
a citizen of the Dominion in order
to gain title to a homestead which
he had been living on. Then his pa
triotic heart smote him and he longed
for the star spangled banner and
the flesh pots of Martin county. FIe
sold his homestead and came back
and bought a splendid farm in the
very center Of the garden spot of
the earth, but alas and alack! He
was unable to vote even for town
constable Oh pathmaster. He had as
it were sold his birthright for a mess
of potage. He resolved at once to
lead a different life and applied for
citizenship but was compelled under
the Ews of this country to wait 5 years
but the time is now up, he
is once more a legal voter of
Rutland and feels like one who has
been born again.

DARK HORSE TALK ...
 OF KERN; UNDERWOOD SLOW TO WITHDRAW

going back to Clark. The news was passed to Murphy and he dropped back into his air of boredom. after directing Bell to be sure that Michi- gan made no mistake. rr~
 While the political dopesters assert that both Wilson and Clark are now out of it, each having dem monstrated his ability to muster the one-fhfrd vote necessary to prevent nomina- ton of the other and neither having shown any prospects of being able to
 muster the needed two-thirds to force his own nomination, the managers of both candidates refuse to accept this verdict as final. Both were very much in evidence. today.
 A few hours before the convention der. Every strategic point that might aid in the shifting of a vote was dig- cussed and each manager had facts and figures sufficient to show that the 725lh votes, without which no nomination can be possible, were com ing into line.
 Clark's friends have appealed to the friendship of Congressman Un-' derwood and the latter's managers on the field They have pointed out that if the Underwood votes were de- livered in a body to Clark, the inn petus would probably carry him over the line. Underwood, 1t was under stood, today, has been willing. to re- lease his delegates to go wherever they pleased if they believed his cause was hopeless. His little band of followers are devoted, however, and refuse to give up.
 The Wilson managers assert that if the Underwood break comes 1t will be to- their benefit They point out that most of the Underwood support is from dyed-in-the-wool progressive states of the south. If re leased from their instructions, the Wilsonites say. the Underwood delegates would come over almost en mass to the former college president.
 There is great disappointment iD the wilson camp because Roger SuIii- van has refused to come over. All day yesterday the rumors were ctr- culated prior to the calling of the roll And each time the calling of the state was followed by the announcement of Illinois 50 for Clark
 Sullivan, when asked to declare himself, smiled his usual smile and said nothing.
 Wilson as high as 660 votes. He reached 501 5k on the 39th ballot. Then his strength began to slip. On the 42nd ballot, taken just before the convention recessed until today his strength was 494 votes and 1t was as- serted by Wood, of Michigan that on the next ballot he would lose 20 bal lots. As in the case of Clark, all at ternpts at a stampede failed. The Wilson managers have done their best to bring about a condition where by they could start the boom over the crest of the hill but today the has proven stampede proof.
 There is considerable dark horse talk among the delegates but seem ingiy a dearth of material. John ". Kern seldom exceeds two votes on each ballot. His praises are sounded everywhere and the impression has seemed tenable that an attempt is sure to be made to put him over but so far no concerted effort has been made to gather to his support any of the big state delegations. Then the Gaynor, Toss, O'Gorman and even Marshall talk continues but little of 1t meets with welcome response from the delegates.
