Session in PandemOnium

From = Stz1 Correspondent n Tho Tribune
Albany, Sept 4 The Constitutional
Convention adjourned at Z o'clock to-
night in the midst Of row. The fight
was over the refusal Of the convention
to vote on Assemblyman "Al" Smiths
minimum wage proposal. Smith, with
his side partner, Senator Robert F..
Wagner. clamored for vote. George
w. Wickersham, the floor leader, OBJ
jected to it, on the ground that the
convention had decided earlier in the
day to adjourn at o'clock and that
the vote would take until after that
time.
The Smith, Wagner faction got on its
feet, protesting. 1t was joined by
William Barnes, who moved to strike
out the enacting clause. The Root
Wickersham Parsons crowd was too
much for the Smith Wagner
faction, however. Mr.. Wickersham
moved that the convention, which was
in committee of the whole, rise and
report progress. This was met with
howls from the opposition, but the
Wickersham motion prevailed.
A few minutes later, with Senator
Root in the chair, the convention was
again in session. Then the final vote
was taken on the bill of rights. While
the vote was i'm Drogress al" Smith
arose and declared that the roll vas
rurposely being called slowly to pre-
vent any further motions to get his
roposal again before the convention.
Only three delegates voted against the
bill of rights-James H. Damn, OF
Brooklyn; George L. Bockes, Of One
onta, and Thomas V. O'Connor, o.:
Buffalo.

THERE WILL BE 4 FINE MARKET FOR
 CLOVER SEED THIS FALL

The importance of every far mer saving his own clover seed this spring cannot be over-esti- mated. In fact, if the farmer would just take time to consider he would at once realize the fact that he could not afford not to save his own clover seed. Not a single farmer can advance an idea in favor ot not saving his clover seed. One of the most important reasons is because he has them on hand, and can seed at the right time, which almost insures him stand. The major ity of failures are due to not sowing at the right time.
 Usually the farmer waits un- til his clover should be sown be- fore he thinks of buying seed, and by the time he is able to get the seed it is getting late, conse- quently he fails to get stand and is ready to say that his land is not suited to clover growing.
 The price of clover seed is also big item in favor of saving the seed on the farm where

When Starchenski learns this he
