SLUMP IN PRICE
Of TICKETS.
SPECTATORS in Windy City Hard Hit
by Sudden Drop in the
Market.
COUNTERFEITs CIRCULATED
Paid Uniform Price Of S15 Per Set
Drop to $40 with Very Few Takers
Among Visitors.

Chicago, June 20.-Because many
counterfeit tickets are in circulation
and the promises of fighting on the
floor have not been up to the advan-
ce notices, the ticket spectators of
Chicago have been hard hit. Many
of them are loaded up with tickets
for which they paid uniform price
of fifteen dollars 4 set. Today the
market price for the pasteboards for
the remainder of the session had
dropped to ten dollars with very few
takers.
Tuesday the galleries were filed
with crowd that believed the Roose-
Welt forces planned to take possession
of the platform by sheer weight of
numbers and after lynching few of
their opponents, smash the steam roll
Ter into junk and run things theft
own way.
But the progressives were remark
ably orderly. Yesterday the only in
cidents was the Hadley demonstra-
ton and many of the ticket holders
did not witness this because they were
unable to get to their seats, chairman
Root having ordered those spectators
who left the hall during the session
should not be allowed to return.
Charges that city officials and Off
GERS of the police were bringing un-
authorized persons into the building
were free made. The method was to
sell for an inconsiderable sum piece
of pastboard to the man without the
ticket. This he would present to
certain door keeper and walk into the
auditorium. In an effort to check this
procedure doorkeepers were trans
ferred and frequently changed but
this had little effect.

Owners of property on Fairfax ST.

A large percentage of the people

LAWLESSNESS IN COUNTY
Crandal Mackey and Other Officers
Censured by Grand Jury.

Alexandria county has come for
ward again with showing that dem
onstrates the advisability of annex
ing the county to the city of Alexan-
dria or the District of Columbia, so
as to afford the citizens some ade-
quate form of police protection.
The grand jury which is now in
session with Thomas j. De Lashmutt
as foreman, has brought in a report
to the court stating that various forms
of gambling exists and that liquor is
being sold throughout the county IN
open violation of the law. The grand
jury lays the blame at the doors OF
the Commonweal his attorney, sheriff
and deputy sheriff, and suggests that
the court censure these officers and di-
rect them to break up gambling and
LIQUOR selling, and in event Of their
failure to do so to take such steps as
may be necessary.
The report in part says:
"The sheriff, deputy sheriff and
Commonwealth's attorney have all ac-
knowledged before this grand jury
that they are satisfied these evils ex'
listed and are being carried on every
day, but seemingly have made little
if any effort to break them up
seemingly prefering to let them exist
rather than bring them to justice.

AND JUDGE PARKER
His Prospects for Position of Tenn.
p0rary Chairman of Democratic
Convention
EXPECT FIGHT AGAINST HIM
Theodore F.. Bell of California, Friend
Of Bryan, Is Being Doomed for
Permanent Chairman.

Baltimore, June 20.-There were
many evidences today that progress.
sives in the Democratic National con-
vention would not be satisfied with the
selection of Judge Alton B. Parker
Of New York as temporary chairman
and that a fight would be made
against him.
When the subcommittee went into
session today Parker was the favor
ite with a majority Of them, in spite
of the fact that William J. Bryan was
quoted by national committeeman
Josephus Daniels Of North Carolina as
saying that Parker's selection would
be criminal folly"
Theodore T. Bell, of California is
being insistently doomed for perma-
nent chairman. He is a friend of
Rryan's.
Aside from the opening of head
quarters by active candidates for the
presidency-Clark, Wilson, Harmon
and Underwood-and the activity Of
their press agents and boomers, Bal
timore will not take real interest in
Democrats until the Republicans at
Chicago close.
1t is conceded on all sides that the
Democrats will be influenced to a
large extent by what happens in Chi
cago.
All the managers for candidates
here are making claims that are con-
sidered exaggerated and unwarranted
by facts, yet none of them comes
within two or three hundred votes OF
counting the necessary two-thirds
majority of the convention Of 73O
votes, for his man. The Clark people
now claim the Missourian will go into
the convention with nearly 500 votes;
while Wilson's managers claim approx
imately $50 for him at the start, with
the Underwood and Harmon claims
about 100 each.
Discussion of the platform has hard
ly started, except that the conservat-
ives appear to be organizing to op-
pose the endorsement of the initiative
and referendum, and the recall, planks
that are said to be favored by Bryan.
All appear agreed that the tariff plank
will call for immediate revision of the
tariff downward and that the trust
plank shall demend criminal punish
ment for violators of the trust laws.
Columbus, Ohio, June 20.-1t was
announced at the Governors office to-
day that Governor Harmon would not
attend the Democratic convention at
Baltimore. He will remain in Colum-
bus at his executive Offices and re-
ceive reports of the proceedings.

What the Chinese Think Of Dan cupid's

What the Chinese Think Of Dan cupld's
Franks.
We do not believe in love. for love Is
not the greatest thing in the world. IL
is not even a thing nor substance.
Love IS the antithesis Of reason. for
man sees with reason and only feels
with love. and it is the most violent
form Of brainstorm. says the Chinese
Annual. Love is the symptom Of a dis
order brain. as a nightmare is symp-
tom of a disordered stomach. Il is a
deadly contagious disease. for It turns
the strongest head and makes the
wisest man a fool. Indeed. there is no
fool like an old fool who is affected
with amoritis. When a man has con-
tracted this love disease and is under its
influence he acts In the most idiotic
manner and performs all sorts of
antics. all of which he entirely re
nounces and repudiates when he is
free from Its hypnotic spell
Perhaps there is no greater differ
ence existing between the Chinese and
the American people than that between
their ideas Of love. In fact. we Chi
nese do not believe In love. for we
are not slckly. sentimental creatures,
but cold. philosophical. fatalistic be-
ings. We arrange our matrimonial af-
fairs through the tender passion.
To MS marriage is a serious business
of the head and not a light affair OF
the heart. In these matrimonial trans
actions we apply the most rigid. keen,
calculating business principles. and
that is why we are so successful in
the marriage enterprise. as we have
never been bunkoed by Cupid at the
game of love.
We never pay homage at the altar
Of this stupid. brainless yellow kid.
the disturber Of peace. the breaker OF
hearts the destroyer Of homes and
the promoter Of affinity stock com
panies we cannot tolerate his pres
ence IN China. as China Is not a land
Of lovers. Consequently the cool. quiet
hours Of our midsummer nights are not
disturbed or spoiled by hot air from
the wooing and cooling of sentimental
creatures.
