land in the west to propagate spine

demonstrate the feasibility OF grow

The British government has under

RULING IN WoMEN's FAVOR.
Tariff Discrimination on Hatters'
Plush Abolished.

WASHINGTON, July Assistant
Secretary Curtis has wiped out a big
discrimination against w0men's hats
In the Interpretation Of the tariff act.
Hatter's plush, used exclusively for
the manufacture OF mems silk hats,
has been admitted TO the United
States at 10 per cent duty. Other
such plush has paid 45 per cent. Qf
late hundreds OF thousands Of wo-
mems hats, by fashions decree, have
been made out Of hatter's plush. Be
cause OF the peculiar wording of the
tariff act, some collectors Of customs
in cases where the plush was used for
women's hats. have assessed 40 per
cent, while that used for the dress
hat Of an American gentleman paid
only 10 per cent.
The cost Of women's hats is high
enough, said Mr.. Curtis, deciding that
the quality Of the plush should be the
basis Of assessment, whether it went
to man or woman.

at the meeting in the news that data
obtained by that organization mad

coined with tremendous enthusiasm
by the engineers. .
Mr.. Donaldson then introduced Lord

make good" He was keenly aware
of the dangerous nature of the gas
used for initiating the big bag, but felt
it was safe from explosion, as no
fame could reach 1t.
One theory OF the cause of the ex-
plosion was that the gasoline. used
for operating the engines. exploded,
and in turn communicated to the gas
In the balloon. Vaniman had recently
been testing new material for the gas
bag. 1t was reinforced with wire, and
Vaniman claimed with it he could con.
struct a balloon that would neither
expand nor contract, and thus pro-
duce a dirigible that would be abso-
lutely under control of its engines
and the steering apparatus.
That somebody had let too much
free gas into the engines and backed
up the exhaust, was the theory OF
Chief Black, OF the fire department,
who was on hand with his men to help
launch the balloon. Il had no idea
there was anything wrong until l sud

WILSON NOMINATED

Continued From Page One.)
At the same time it was thought II
there should a time come when New
York's ninety could determine the
nomination they would be cast for
that candidate.
Former National Chairman Taggart
of Indiana, said the nomination prob
ably will be made during the day.
There comes a time IA every dead
lock convention" said Taggart, when
the delegates set aside the personal
preference and join with the majority
rather than hold out any longer. l

be that one-third of this convention

A similar view is entertained by
Senator Stone, one of Missouri's can.
didate's managers.
we must conclude today" he said,
"for the delegates will not stay any
longer"
Former Governor McCorkle Of West
Virginia, one of the few prominent
members Of the Clark camp who ap-
peared sanguine that the speaker
would pick up the votes he had lost
and enough more to secure the nomi-
nation. He thought there would be q
locking to Clark If Wilson's chances
are found to be impossible, and that
the nomination would be given to the
man voted for by the majority Of the
delegates.
The Wilson forces asserted the mo.
mentum Of their constant attacks and
the steady increase in their ranks had
made their campaign nj of 0fense
and not defense, and that If the ILL
nois delegation carried out the inten.
ton of breaking from the Clark forces
and joining those of the New Jersey
governor, it will point a way for other
delegates to do likewise.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July 2.-When
the Democratic National Convention
met today, n week after 1t first
assembled, the identity of the presi-
Dental nominee was as much in doubt
as at the initial session. Wilson, the
leading candidate, lacked 231 IL votes
on the f~orty-second ballot. The last
taken before adjournment. Last night
Clark, who dropped from first to sec.
ond in the days voting, still appeared
to control considerably more than
enough delegates to block the nomi-
nation of Wilson, and friends of both
men begin to entertain doubts as to
whether either will be nominated.
Several times yesterday, when the
Clark men we're fighting hard to hold
the strength, 1t seemed the Missourian
was about to loose Illinois So votes,
and the Wilson men are confident the
break will come during the day. On
the other hand the Clark men say the
Wilson assault has spent itself. Under.
wood continues to rank third in the
voting, and neither Of the leading
candidates have been able to make
serious inroads on the strength. The
Alabaman's friends insist he is the
only man whose nomination will bring
all the factions together. Indiana
dropped Governor Marshall and has
gone to Wilson, but Massachusetts,
likings hold to its "favorite son.
Foss, and they are urging him as the
best vote getter among the dark
horses. The names Of Kern Of Indiana
and Gaynor OF New York, are dis
cussed more frequently than ever to-
day as candidates.
