Warrington promised his friends to

at the automobile races. The best
thing Warrington does is to oblige hls

they had no time to attend to the mat

The broker he went to said that
while boxes were very scarce. ne
thought by paying premium he
might be able to wrench one by main
force from the eager throngs that
were battling for them. provided Var
rington would take 1t for the two
days. When he escaped from the
broker Warrington had parted with
$40, but he figured on quickly dispos-
ing OF the box for Friday. and the
$50 that would be left WAS not mucn
split up among the crowd.

After Warrington had cont1ded some
bitter things to himself over the
treachery OF humanity in general he
hunted up the broker and asked him
to take back the tickets. He had no
conjunction about this, as there was
such demand Tor them. The broker
smoothly said he had such a quantity
OF boxes on hand That he really could
not think OF paying the full price Tor
Yarrington's, but that he would at
great personal sacrifice give Yarring-
ton $40 Tor it.
Thereupon Warrington said lew

DROP TEMPORARY
 ORGANIZATION
Mack Advises Against Any Action so Far in
 Advance

Baltimore April 27.- Temporary orr ganization ofsthe dena5cratic party next June was tslser tp nt the meeting of the Hrsi-co issttee of the national com mitfee today. It was dropped how Fever. at the suggestion of Chairman Mack. who urged that no action be taken now because the public might assume the national committee was seeking to organize the convention in the interest of a particular candidate.
 Col. John T. McGraw of West yir- ginia brought up the question by pro- posing that the committee select James o'Gorman of New York as temporary chairman. with urey Woodson of Ken lucky as secretary pro teinpore and Col. J. l. Martin of Missouri az tenn porary sergeant at arms of the meet ing.
 II appeared to be the sense of the other members that it was inoppor- tune to take up the question SD far in advance and 1t was allowed 10 drop.
 After the meeting Colonel McGraw said his purpose in bringing up the subject of temporary officers at this time was to have the matter settled early. The importance of the speech of the temporary chairman made it ad vfsable, in the colonel's judgment. to give him plenty of time for it's prepar- ation.
 A delegation of negro democratic workers from Washington was here headed by Right Rev Alexander Wa ters bishop of the A. M. E. church, and head of publishing company which prints a magazine, the object of which is to wean the negroes from the republican party to the cause of democracy. The delegation assured the committee of its continued support and requested that aid be given 1t In its work.
 Colonel McGraw announced that he will present at a general meeting of the na- tiona committee, to be held here early in June, a concrete resolution calling for the abolition of the two-thirds fule and the substitution therefor of the ma jority rule.
 According to Colonel McGraw, the reso- lution will ask that the majority rule shall not apply to the Baltimore conven- tion. but at the first national convention thereafter.
