viii Turn His Voters Into The Column Of The MisSourian
Various Delegations Show Signs Of Standing Pat Though
Members Of Convention are Displaying WEAKNESS
And Desire to Bring The Gathering 10 an End

Baltimore, June 29.--Wearied with
their second struggle lasting practi-
cally all night, the leaders and main
body Of delegates were late in making
their appearance at the main centers
of activity this morning and it was
well toward noon before the work Of
consultation, conferences and eau
cuses was in full swing.
The early birds, who included
Chairman James. were again SAN
guine that a decisive ballot would be
reached today and that the conyen-
ltion would conclnda- its labors to-
ulgnr. All eady the exodus tom Bal
timore had begun and placards at
every hand announced special trains
carrying away large parties which
had come to see candidate chosen.
1t was the general feeling that If
Clark wins he must win quickly. A
continued deadlock was the one thing
that might destroy the commanding
lead he had already established. The
problem of the Clark forces was two
fold; first to hold their present
strength intact against defections,
and, second, to add 1761s votes to mis-
549 shown on the twelfth ballot to
give him the necessary two-thirds ma
iority.
The first problem was not a menac-
ing one, but. it had its difficulties.
The ninety New York votes with
Clark from the tenth to the twelfth
ballot were not regarded as depend
able if the struggle was prolonged,
as the New Workers still were feeling
their way, ready to stand by Clark If
his forces could show an ability to
concentrate the field, but not to re-
main with him indefinitely in pro-
longed contest.
Outside the New York acquisition
the main body of Clark men were
holding together well, although it was
said some of them who have formerly
had strong Bryan affiliations, might
develop a tendency to try Wilson ii
the contest was prolonged. These
considerations led the Clark men to
bend all their energies to finishing
the contest quickly. The 1873 Under
wood votes were looked on in sense
as the key to the Clark situation, for
with them the Clark total would be
augmented well along toward the nee
essary two-thirds.
At the Underwood headquarters,
however, there was not the slightest
indication Of directing the vote as a
balance of power among the other
candidates. Reports we're current
early today that if Underwood would
step aside for Clark the Alabaman
would be named for the speakership.
The Harmon strength, now reduced
to 20 on the twelfth ballot, also was
looked upon as possible ,2squistion
to Clark.
One thing seemed to be generally
conceded-that neither the Harmon
or Underwood forces would go to VIII
son.
The Wilson strength appears to be
concentrated in the progressive and
radical elemtnts already enlisted un'
der his standard, with prospects OF
eating into the more progressive

Committee Meets.

The democratic national committee
met today in an effort to break the
deadlock over the presidential nomi-
nation. Soon after the convention adj
journed this morning members Of the
committee gathered at the Belvidere
hotel to discuss the tangled state OF
affairs, to find way out of the diff
ficulty if possible and man to lead
the way. Several champions of lead
ing candidates were appealed to- and
Chairman Mack finally called a meet
ing of the committee.
News of the proposed meeting
spread quickly through the headquar-
ters of the various candidates and
plans were made by the leaders in all
camps to confer with the committee,
each with the hope that out of the
conference he could bring advantage
to his candidate.
That the New York delegation
would stick by Champ Clark for to-
tai of ten ballots was reported today
and this information settled the de-
termination of the Wilson, Harmon
and Underwood leaders to stand with
unyielding front for their candidates
in the hope that after the nineteenth
ballot, New York would desert Clark
and throw support somewhere else.
New York supported Clark in three
ballots last night. According to the
reported agreement, Charles F. Muir
ply will cast the ninety votes of the
empire state for the speaker in sew
en- more successive ballots. Then if

Qualities of a Lady.

One of the first qualities of lady is
low voice. Not a whispering voice,
one must speak loudly enough to be
under3tood. One reason why some
people have to talk loudly in order to
make themselves understood is that
they do not articulate plainly. Pro
nounce your words clearly and careful
ly round out each syllable and even
though you speak in a low voice you
will be understood. Do not talk too
rapidly. A lady never gives the ap
pearance of being hurried, and be-
cause she is leisurely the cultured
woman never forgets the little courte-
sizes which she owes to others. The
courtesies are shown in very quiet,
unassuming manner, for the lady
never cares to attract attention to
her own actions. Neatness of dress
Is one of the hall marks of the lady.
The girl who wears fashionable top
clothes and torn, untidy underclothes
need not expect to earn the title OF
lady. The refined girl keeps her per-
son and her possessions neat, no mat
ter If they are not seen by another
person beside herself She always
dresses in good taste. Both her dress
and her manner are quiet and re-
served in public.-Exchange.

AT RISK OF HIS LIFE
REV. DIR. PALMoRE VISITED THE
TOMB OF AARON.
Mosque ID Nothing Much to See, but
Religious FanatcIsm Of the Ma
tlves Makes the Journey Ono
of Great Danger.

Rev. DR.. William B. Palmore Of St
Louis, who has Just completed tour
of Europe and the Orient. said that
his most remarkable exploit was a
recent nocturnal expedition at the
risk of his life to the tomb on Mount
Hor, in Arabia Petrea, which Is re.
yered by three religions as the burial
place of Aaron, brother Of Moses, and
first high priest of the Hebrew theoc-
racy.
Late on the last night of his stay In
Petrea DR.. Palmore silently stole out
OF the city, attended by his guide and
soldiers.
When the little party at last stood
alone on the mountain top and saw
tho desert sleeping far below they
found the mosque to be ramshackle
building of white stones rudely piled
together and surmounted by round
ed dome The guide without scruple
applied his stolen key to the lock and
the door swung open.
81 found myself In a chapel about
40x40 feet, says DIR. Palmore. "Ac.
cordlng to the Moslem custom, 1t con-
tanned neither seats nor affairs. 1t
was completely bare save that in the
center stood cenotaph, or empty sar-
cophagus, covered by green cloth.
Carved in stone was an inscription in
Hebrew so nearly obllterated by time
that could not decipher 1t. calcu-
lated that the inscription was more
than 1000 years old. There was also
a legend carved on the cenotaph In
modern Arabic.
81 had little time to waste. for l
was confident that If the Arabs in the
valley discovered my departure and
traced me to the mosque they would
kill me. In one corner l discovered a
hole In the floor, revealing a flight of
stairs cut in the rock and leading
downward.
Holding my candle aloft, descend
ed the steps and found found myself
In an unlighted cave OF no great size.
Like the mosque, 1t was bare and
rude. But across one end were
stretched two chains like sentinels
hung a tattered curtain.
81 stepped over the chains and
swept the curtain aside. The sealed
entrance to natural vault was re-
vealed and this vault was the tomb of
Aaron"
There was little time for sacred rev.
erie, FOR, If day broke before he de-
scended the mountain, his errand
might be detected and avenged by the
Arabs of the valley. So Dr. Pal
more, after touching the sealed vault
reyerently with his hand, assembled
the stairs, passed through the
MOSQUE and stood again in the open
air
His guide gravely locked the door
and concealed the key once more in
his garments. The party made its
way safely back to Petra without dis
covery, and within a few hours was
miles away on the return trip north.

Not a Strong Argument.

Said an advocate of woman suffrage
during the recent campaign In Cali
fornia "A point upon which great
deal of weight has been placed is that
women do not want the suffrage and
that it would be cruel to impose 1t up
on them. The cry about cruelty to

Her Dislike Too Vigorous.

A woman In an English country
town took an unusual way Of express
ing her dislike of the pastor. While
the congregation was standing, during
the singing of an anthem, she rushed
up the chancel steps and began throw
ing hymn books at the minister, and
finally exclaimed: Take him from
the church," The minister was great
ly astonished, knowing nothing of the
disorder until he was struck In the
back He thought stone had fallen
from the roof. In court the woman

Safeguarding Letters.

From the days of antiquity 1t has
always been a problem unsolved how
to insure the secrecy Of letters. A
Frenchman named Phion claims, how
ever. to have discovered the real
method, which Is as simple as the egg
of Columbus. The invention Is thus
described: The envelope looks very
like an ordinary one, but the tongue
Is in a kind OF loop prolonged so as to
lit the gummed end OF the upper right
hand corner, which Is slit The tongue
Is inserted, and further fixed by the
stamp struck over 1t. The system is
simplicity itself. and. except for rip
ping open the envelope or tearing of
the stamp, it Is impossible to get at
the letter inside
