HURT IN A RUNAWAY
Sol Popofsky and Family Sustain
Many Bruises.

Sol Popofsky and family. No. 511
c avenue East, were the victims of a
runaway accident Sunday that was
attended by somewhat unpleasant re-
suits. The horse Mr. PopofSky was
driving became frightened at the APP
proach of al automobile, when near
the end of the Eveland bridge over
the Des Moines river. Unable to
drive ahead as had been intended, Mr..
Popofsky had to turn to the west up
sharp grade. The animal made too
short a turn, the buggy was tipped
over and the occupants spilled upon
the ground and dragged. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Popofsky we're severely
bruised and scratched and blood flow.
ed freely from numerous cuts and
hurts of members of the party. The
horse was stopped and the damage re-
paired temporarily. Other assistance
was rendered by parties who CHANGED
to be in the locality at the time.
The Popofskys were able to be about
today and not much the worse for the
experience. They feel that they we're
fortunate in ont sustaining more Sc
rious injury.

Confer With Roosevelt,

Following the inability of the com.
mittee upon resolutions to reach an
agreement upon the negro and the H.
quor questions special sub-commit-
tee made up of Clifford Pinchot, Ches-
ter Rowell and William Allen White
took the matter to Roosevelt in pri-
vate conference. 1t was decided to
omit the liquor question, leaving the
settlement of the problem to the in
dividual states. The negro plank may
go to the floor of the convention for
settlement.
At eleven o'clock, the hour for OPP
ening, only a small number of the
delegates were in the house. Cali
fornia was the first organized delega-
ton to enter the convention 1t was
headed by band playing Wearing
of the Green" Illinois with Senator
elect Funk following and his old hat
was lifted aloft on a standard.
Called to Order.
Temporary Chairman Beverage
called the convention to order at
1880 o'clock amid much noise and
confusion on the floor.
Roosevelt sent orders to the reso
luton committee to cut the platform
to three thousand words.
Charles E. Scott, chairman of the
committee on permanent organiza
ton, reported on making the tempo
rary organization permanent and the
report was adopted.
Medill Mccormick, of Illinois, pre-
scented the report of the committee
on rules.
Selecting Name.
Ex-Governor Hamilton of Illinois
moved to amend the report to permit
the selection of a name for the party
as best suited the condition in indi
vidual states, taking either "Nationa
Progressive" party or Progressive
party as the case might be.
Recess is Taken.
At 1925 the convention took re
cess to one o'clock while awaiting the
report of the resolutions committee
but it was one.thirty before order was
again called for.
