DENIES FAIRFIELD RUM0R
 ANENT SALOON
Change of Sherman School Site Starts the Politicians Working in Staid Fair field.
Special to The Farmer.)

Fairfield, June 29-Rumors have been afloat for some time that the Rock property at the center destroyed some time ago by fire and recently acquired by John Freeman was to be converted into saloon, the license to be secured through a transfer from another part of the town. Today, MT. Freeman stated that he was to erect building on the premises and that he had leased the property to Druggist Clampett of Bridgeport to be used solely as a. pharmacy. He denied emphatically that the property would be occupied by a saloon.
 The rumOrs were started through the fact that there is a proposition now before the town to erect a new school building to replace the Sherman or Middle school Some of the towns people favor the present site while others favor a change. The former following claim that the Freeman in- terests are working for the change so that MT. Freeman may place a saloon on his property as he is about the 200 feet limit At the present time the Freeman property is within 200 feet of the present school. A question has been called for Monday evening to consider the school question and also other matters of importance to the citizens of the town.

challenging of the correctness of the announcement from certain States. But delegates and galleries stuck it out to the last and when the recess was ordered, it was accepted on all sides as meaning that the leaders themselves now recognized that a deadlock existed which would be hard to break.
 The one thing that gave hope of an early solution was the weather. It was che typical Baltimore summer day hot. Delegates groaned at the prospect of sitting through an- other protracted session in the humid air of the convention hall. They were tired out with the long drawn out ses- sions and frazzled by the heat.
 The fervent hope of getting home at the earliest possible date was the chorus that went up from all the hotel Hobbies today

Fairfield, June 29-Andrew Sherwood of Benson's Road was given a Jail sen tence of 30 days and fines and costs of $S1 IS by Justice Wakeman this morn ing for drunkenness, breach of the peace, abusive language and assault. Z The jail sentence was suspended and the accused placed in charge of Sheriff Elwood as probation officer. Sherwood Thurgday evening returned from his work in Bridgeport. He had tanked up slightly before home swas reached. His daughter during the day had been fitted with a pair of glasses. The father objecting to the looks of the spectacles ordered their removal.

Clark boomers why he considered the adjournment Necessary, let the cat out of the bag.
 You fellows said that you could ger the Underwood and Harmon votes. 2 said Fitzgerald in angry tones easily heard in the press stand. Now you will have the chance. We will put the screws on those fellows, deliver the votes and put our man over.''
 That was the situation when the Clark forces were up and busy among the delegates in a desperate effort to make good on their expectations.
 The fact that Tammany went over to the support of Clark has alienated from the Speaker many of his West ern supporters. A number of them insisted that. they would desert if it seemed that the Tammany vote was to be instrumental in making the Speaker the nominee of the conwen- tion, but despite this fact the Clark leaders insisted that time would tell the tale and they would have the Speaker nominated before tomorrow.
 However. politicians believed that such consummation may be diffi- cult.
 Roger Sullivan and Murphy. it is known, Quarre1ed about Wilson. The Illinois Boss maintained that the New Jersey executive would pull through the tickets in the doubtful States. } He pointed out the general feeling, but Murphy held out against the pro- gressive. It was understood that he made it known he considered Wilson of anything to beat Wilson that has caused dissension in his own State delegation. Powerful influences to- day were at work to have the New York boss shift to Wilson.
 If Clark is not soon. nominated, Murphy will likely shift again. This time he will go to Underwood, who the time. But John B. Stanchfiead and Delancey Nfcoll. who have care fully canvassed Underwood's strength, say that under no circumstances could he receive more than 540 votes. Of Course, Murphy still has Gaynor. who receives scattering vote now and then. but whether Tammany would make any real attempt to name the New York Mayor is very hard to say.
 Conferences today were general, but all were carefully guarded and so ticklish is the situation that nothing regarding what transpired or even who participated, was permitted to leak out
 The session of the convention that adjourned at 3:OS today was fully as remarkable as was that of the night previous. The crowd was as large, despite the fact that the heat was intense. The proceedings Jagged along until Murphy started off the Clark demonstration. The Wilson followers took advantage of the announcement by 'sBill', Murray that he would not be- ee'~Thmmanyi1ed" as their text, and wild disorder Of the night before was repeated. and in some respects at least exceeded by the Wilsonites.

He even went so far as to spit tobacco juice into her face. Finally to the disgust of the onlookers. Sherwood took his wife by the heels and dragged her into the house. Sheriff Eiwood was called in the meanwhile and when he reached the house found Sherwood sitting on his wife's chest Sherwood offered no resistance and went with the officer.
 Sherwood is tho sole supporter of his wife and six children and for this reason the jail sentence was suspend ed. Prosecuting Attorney Clitus King considered that jail sentence and Q fine were not, just what was needed and give him a good thrashing, Ee deserves such punishment" said the prosecuting attorney. Sherwood is or- dered to report to Sheriff Elwood, once a week for six weeks.

ThmmhNY'S EFFORT TO

Twelve Fruitess Ballots Result of Long and
 Torrid Session In Baltimore

Baltimore, June 29-"Boss" Murphy,

 of the TAmma1yS leader.
 Murphy wa6 up against it. His first

 The New York leader has steadily opposed an ultra progressive nominee for the Presidency. He came here

 and emphatic response caused Murphy i to back pedal. He let 1t be known | stl1a& no platform could be constructed . that would be too radical for him. But on tho question of candidates he ba1ked.

Baltimore, June 29-Bert Morphy. famous as 'tthe man who sings to beat the band", was a conspicuous figure in a great serenade rendered by dele gates and political enthusiasts who serenaded Cardinal Gibbons on his lawn here yesterday.
 The demonstration was led by a delegation 150 strong from Cook coun- ty, Illinois. Bert Morphy thrilled the thousands who gathered about the spacious grounds with his rendition of Tn This Grand United States" Many joined the chorus of the song, while the Cardinal applauded enthusiastical- ly.
 Led by a band, the Chicago dele gation, without sleep for 24 hours, marched from the convention hall to the Cardinals residence, and before they arrived they were augmented by a throng of curious followers. An instrumental program lasting for more than an hour was played. while @the delegates to the national convention were presented to the Cardinal.

SIDELIGHTS OF CONVENTION

Among the interested spectators at the convention is Joseph Letter, who once ran a corner in wheat at cost of several million to the ancestral es- tates. Letter is now president of the Washington, ID. C., Gas Co, and a close friend of August Belmont and Thomas F. Ryan. Letter is not a dele gate but has generally found g. seat among the newspapermen.
 The second nights session develop ed a new industry in the way of ca- tering to the crowds. Ice water found a market at cents a drink. Sani- tary drinking cups were at premium at cent each.
 A marked absence of betting has been observed at the convention. It is due to the fact that neither can- didates nor their friends have felt any confidence in their abil- ity to secure the nomination. With the leading candidates over 200 votes short of the necessary two-thirds and every prospect of deadlocks and un- certain dark horses eventualities, bet ting has been held in check
 The night session tried the nerves of the delegates, the newspapermen and employees of photograph compa- nfes but it did not affect the patient endurance of the ladies. As hour af- ter. hour dragged on with no event of special interest to those who had the advantage of being in the midst

D|SASTROUSF FIRE
 AT CONVICT ARM

Jackson, Miss, January 5.-(Special.l- The officials of the penitentiary estimate that the less on the Rankin convict farm by last nights fire was at least sS0,OOo, the most disastrous, perhaps the peniten- tiary has ever experienced.
 The appraisers recently appointed by the governor were at the depot preparing to return to Jackson, when it was noticed that the roof of the big barn was in a blaze. How it happened cannot be told. The appraisers, accompanied by Super intendent Gathings, had been in the barn lut an hour before, and none of them were smoking. The guard who is sta toned at the barn saw no lurking strangers about, and it cannot be ima- gined how the fire originated.
 The loss as estimated is $50 600, and the property destroyed consisted of 15O tons of hay, 5000 bundles of fodder, 5000 bush eis of corn. 33 head of mules, IS brood mares, 10 mule colts, ' wagons, and all blow gear, harness, etc. Ordinarily the wagons gear. etc., would not have been ill the barn. but had been congregated there for the convenience of the ap- praisers.

REWARD OFFERED
 FOR A REWARD

ogden. Utah, January 5.-George w.. Culver now has an opportunity to offer a reward for a reward. Culver and his wife were held up two weeks ago in their home and $5o00 worth of diamonds and jewelry was taken from them. Culver at once offered regards through advertise ments in Utah papers. These amounted to $500. A reply was received. Culver answered with a second communication. By telephone an agreement was made whereby Culver was to meet the man who answered the first advertisement, give him $500 and receive. his diamonds. Culver passed deserted building near the desig- mated meeting place and as he did so a window was raised and Culver looked into the muzzle of a weapon in the hands of a masked man.
 Two other men relieved him of the $500 reward and presented him with a small package containing bearings for an au- tomobile. The police, who had been notI- fled by Culver of his plan, arrived after the robbers escaped.
