ABROGATION OF RULE
MAY SPLIT DELEGATES

Baltimore, June 27-The democrat
ic convention last night voted to alb
rogate the unit rule as to state dele
cations except where the state laws
are mandatory on the subject. This
had the effect of giving Woodrow
Wilson eighteen votes from Ohio and
may cause break in other delega-
tions. 1t was hailed a great Wilson
victory in a session that had been
marked by a prolonged Wilson dem.
onstration.
\ chorus of Kisses and "boos" greet
ed the announcement of Senator Stone
that Missouri, Champ Clark's state
cast 90 votes against the minority re.
port, which would favor the Wilson
forces. Seven Missouri delegates vot.
ed aye. A round of cheers swept the
hall as Bryans home state, Nebras.

Mr.. Craig also expressed his feelings
against the failure of the city In the
past to enforce a similar ordinance
and he declared that whenever auto
lists had been arrested for speeding
they had been turned loose without
fine AS a last shot, the speaker
censured the city for not enforcing
the ordinance prohibiting the riding
of bicycles on the sidewalk and de-
manded that the city administration
either enforce or repeal its laws.
Lonergan Makes Reply.
City Engineer Kimbren was not
present at the meeting, but upon the
request of the mayor, Engineer C. p.
Lonergan of the Warren Construction
company, answered the charges
against the city official. Mr.. Loner-
gan declared that it was an engineer
ing impossibility to estimate accur-
ately the cost of street improvements
declaring that the best estimate that
could be made would be within five
per cent or possibly a little less. AL.
so he explained that the increase in
the city engineers figures was due
mostly to the fact that concrete gut.

THROWN FROM PONY,
LAD SERIOUSLY HURT

Thrown from a Shetland pony
when it became frightened, Vernon
Hartnett, the young son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Hartnett, struck on his
head and was seriously injured. He
was unconscious for some time and
is still irrational so that it is feared
he may be suffering from concussion
of the brain.
The boy and his cousin, a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. 7. Laing, were both
astride the pony, the latter being in
the saddle. While riding just south
of the fair pavilion, a fluttering sign
on the pavilion walls frightened the
little animal and young Hartnett was
thrown. When picked up he was un-
conscious and was fastened to the
offices of DR.. r. E. Ringo, where he
partially recovered his senses. He is
now at the home of his parents and
DR.. Ringo has hopes for his speedy
recovery.

TALKED-0F COMBINE
Rumored Commoner is Asked to Cast
Fortunes With Third
- Party

Baltimore, June 27.-The demo-
cratic convention took second place
as a topic of conversation for a time
when a report became persistent that
senator La Toilette had held a long
conference with william Jennings
Bryan after the latter's reversal in
the temporary chairmanship fight in
the convention.
1t was said that the senator had
discussed in detail the third party
movement and had invited Bryan to
cast in his fortunes with the new pro-
gressive movement.
At Bryan and Nebraska headquar-
ters it was neither denied nor affirm
ed that the conference had been held.
That Senator La Toilette was under
the same roof with Bryan was ac-
knowledged.
At the Wisconsin delegations head
quarters it was acknowledged that the
senator had been here.

Baltimore, Md, June 27.-Woodrow
Wilson stock took a mighty boom to-
day when his South Dakota delegates
were seated, and Tammany and 90
New York votes, and Sullivan and So
Illinois delegates, swung into line for
the New Jersey governor. 1t looked
as if Murphy had seen light and
would desert Clark.
Another surprise today was sprung
when the Wilson supporters started
a vice presidential boom for Newton
ID. Baker, mayor of Cleveland. o.
Baker. however, frowned on the
proposition, saying he preferred to
remain in his present position.
Theodore A. Bell of California,
spoke favoring the majority report in
the South Dakota cases. He said the
Wilson men resorted to SHARP prac-
tices" to defeat Clark Bell alleged
that three men were placed on ar
illegal Clark ticket in South Dakota,
who never existed"
They were the John Does for the
Wilson movement he declared.
Storm Breaks.
Roars of anger went up from the
New Jersey delegates. There were
shouts of Tell the truth" While
Bell was on the platform, the CALLER
les started a Wilson demonstration.
Scores of ictures of the New Jersey
governor We're held up on canes and
a cheer was started which spread like
wild fire through the house. Other
state delegations joined with New
Jersey.
Just when it looked like a real
demonstration for Wilson, the Mis-
souri, delegates broke out in wild
cheers for Clark. The demonstration
resolved itself into shouts between
the rival camps.
All the state delegations in the
house participated in the demonstra-
tion except New York, whose 80 dele
gates sat impassively in their seats.

SOUND|NGS ARE

Movement to Test Sentiment For In
diana Man is Started by Pro-
greSSiveS.
ARE WORKING QUIETLY
Ozark Horse" Talk Becomes More
General in Convention Clty-New
York Delegation Will Support Gay
nor-GOyernOr FOss Doomed.

Baltimore, June 27.-A movement
to test the sentiment for Senator John
w. Kern of Indiana, for the presiden-
tial nominations has been started by
impossible to unite rwo-thirds of the
delegates for either Speaker Clark or
Governor Wilson. These men are
working quietly, but they say the
movement has gained considerable
momentum.
Dark horse" talk was more gener-
al about the convention than at any
time. This partly was due to the
fact that the New York delegation has
determined to vote for Mayor William
]. Gaynor on the first ballot. The
evident purpose of this is to get test
on the first ballot, though some per-
sons said it showed that he would be
doomed for second place.
Gossip Fills Air.
With the nominating sessions eX-
pected to be held today, presidential
gossip filled the air. 1t seemed to
be admitted by all that Speaker
Champ Clark would go into the con-
vention with distinct advantage
over all other candidates. Bryan ad-
vocates refuse to consider him out OF
the running. They say his defeat for
the temporary Craftsmanship was in
no sense test of what his strength
would be as the presidential nominee.
The Bryan followers are hopeful that
the nomination fight may go to a
fourth or fifth ballot and think that
in that situation many of the dele
gates would go to him.
The Wilson people, who stood by
Bryan almost to man in his fight
for the temporary chairmanship, are
expecting his support in return when
1t comes to nominating, and appar-
emily base their hopes of success up
on some such action.
Combination Necessary.
1t is realized by all that the two
thirds vote necessary to nominate IN
the convention. can only be secured
by a combination of some of the can
didates or by "break'' or stampede
of the delegates. The various leaders
are firm in the belief there will be
no stampede, and say they do not
even fear Bryan himself in that re-
spect.
Friends of Governor Foss of Mas
sachusetts "papered" the Baltimore
armory before the hour for the as
sembling of the convention with an
appeal to the democrats to nominate
the Massachusetts governor.
Thousands of copies of pamphlet
giving Governor Foss record. and a
circular headed "Foss, the only dem
ocrat who can win" were distributed
to fix the attention of the delegates
as they arrived

Baltimore. Md, June 27.-Bryan
won another victory today when the
subcommittee on resolutions appoint
ed Bryan and Senator O'Gorman of
New York. to write the democratic
platform. They began work at IL
o'clock. At four this afternoon they
expect to show their anti-boss and
anti-Tammany platform to the sub
committee. At seven tonight they
will have it adopted by the resolu-
tlons committee and 1t will be re-
ported tomorrow to the convention.
Senator O'Gorman is considered al
most as progressive as Bryan, but
the latter is expected to dominate in
the framing of the platform. Tam
many has little solace in O'Gorman's s
partnership with Bryan, and it is the
opinion that Tammany's platform
will be thrown into the scrap heap
in other words 1t will receive only
"due consideration" from the two
platform composers

JOHNSON STILL ID F|CHT
CHAMPION DROPS PLAN TO RE
 TIRE TO BOX JEANETTE.
Promoters of St. Nicholas A. c. In Chicago to Arrange Bout
 for Champion.

Chicago, Aug. l3.-Jack Johnson has broken the worlds record for a quick retirement Just two weeks ago he launched on an unsuspecting pugilistc world that he was through with the boxing game. He announced that he had come out of retirement and would fight just once more to show his traducers that he was not "all in" as a great fighter.
 Johnson is to start road work on the South Side boulevards and boxing at O'Connells gymnasium on Thurs day
 Mrs Johnson is one who has great deal to do in getting the champion to return to the ring so suddenly. She. as we'll as Jack, has disliked the stories to the effect that Johnson re- tired because the Flynn fight con- vinced him that he had blown up" pugilistically.
 Al Tearney, the stakeholder for the Johnson Flynn bout, is another who talked Johnson out of retirement. Tearney says he has s10,000 to wager that Johnson will fight again and that If he wins he will bet s20,000 that Jack can whale anybody that dares to enter the arena with him over any route.

 Quite as often it's the bait"
 "Do you think so? Why is 1t peo- pie do marry?"
 The modern girl" said the Cynic, living up to his reputation, appears to marry because she wants to learn how to cook: the young man because he's afraid of his landlady."
 NO, but seriously"
 Seriously, the woman marries be- cause she wants to be taken care of, and the man that he may have some body to respect him. They are both doomed to disappointment; in a few months it's the man who gets taken care of, and the woman who gets the respect"
 Do you mean" demanded the Siren. that woman never respects her hus- band?'
 Not if she loves him.
 "NotH" Her voice became almost shrill. Not, did you say?''
 "Yes. A woman may sometimes love, or sometimes respect her hus- band, but she can't do both. It is weakness We love, strength we only respect. It Is one of the compensa- tions of nature that the weakling should love everything in the fight of life-except the one thing worth winning. The strong man may found a nation. but not a family; may de fend a million hearths. but never one of his own. To one. the sweetness of defeat; to the other. the bitterness of victory"
 There was silence for a moment
 What Is your answer?" said the man. "Will you marry meY"
 "But-but I respect you." she fal- tered, her eyes dewy with regret
 "A woman should always respect her lover; 1t is her husband she should love-"
 "Then-its yes."
