They ought to try a lemon rub
on the big political bosses. Vot-

then.
We've been having a cold, a
tough one.
So we went down opposite the
city hall to place where they

They first put you in a box that
looks like a coffin, and your head

Well. we. were nicely settled
when the man in the next coffin
began talking to us.
1t turned out to be S. NJ. Collins,
the Ice magnate.
He said he never got in one of
em but he thought of friend
of his. This friend once was
given up for dead and was about
to be buried.
They had him in a coffin, a
real one, and were about to shove
him away when an old-fashioned
aunt, one of the mourning kind,
noticed his eyelid flicker, so they
reconsidered and didn't bury him.
Well, this friend lately had a
bad cold or something. and Col
Inns told him about the bath
place. So he went to try q treat

And when they put the LID
down on him he tainted clean

A movement to force Conn.,
missioner James G. Drake
from the city council gained
further Roadway today when
Herman Martin, a North End
grocer of longtime residence
in Tacoma, laid affidavits of
charges before the commits
sioner and suggested that he
resign.
Martins action was merely
preliminary to demand for inn
parchment proceedings against
the commissioner, 1t was report
ed.
When asked whether Martin
had appeared before him, Drake
said:
II don't know Mr.. Martin. No,
| don't believe ! have seen him to-
day"
Prepared BY Harmon.
The nature of the charges was
not divulged. They were prepar-
ed in affidavit form by City At
torney U. L. Harmon.
Mayor Fawcett said that he ex-
pected to be presented a copy Of
the charges either today or to-
morrow.
"The charter provides that I
must put these charges before the
council and allow that body to
call for an impeachment proceed
ing" said the mayor. 81 am
ready to present the affidavits as
soon as | receive them"
Crowd Disappointed.
A crowd of spectators that
packed the council chambers to
it's capacity attended today's
meeting, anticipating q rupture
between Drake and the other
councilmen. They were disap-
pointed.
The only reference to the pend
ing shake-up was made by May
or Fawcett at the conclusion OF
the session.
when the new commissioner
took office month ago, an
nounced that on this date l would
ask for a change in the commits

MIR. Gronen, however, is un-
willing to move from mis- present
position to that. of the department
of light and water. and l will hold
the matter up temporarily"
Later the mayor said that he
believed the new course CT events
would be fully as satisfactory.

the light and water department,

'Mr. Drake has refused to
make any cuts. I would like to
see Mr.. Gronen in that depart

equally competent man can be
found" ,s
Non-C ommittal.
Commissioner Petit today de-
clared that he had no desire to
mix up in the Drake muddle"
when the matter first came
up, / told others that would not
vote to impeach Mr.. Drake until
the city attorney had given me
advice that the evidence against

CHICAGO, June z. -

hooSCNCit was tuo
vOrite in the betting for the
republican presidential nom-
inatiOn today.
The cOlOnel's chances were
quoted at even money.
Hughes was second choice,
with six to five odds.
Roots odds were five to
one; Burton six to one;
Cummins and Weeks, seven
to one.
A dull, rainy day and a rain
soaked assemblage handicapped
the gathering of the republican
national convention today.
The weather plainly dampenet
the enthusiasm of the delegates
who quoted down at 1880 wheI
Hilles pounded for order.
Harding, in delivering the key
note address, drew the first genu-
Inc spontaneous applause when he
pleaded for a navy that would
fear none in the world. Cheers
also greeted his declaration that
America should not be too proud
to fight.
The session adjourned without
any signs of an agreement upon
a candidate. Roosevelt, Hughes,
the native sons and the possibili-
ties of a darw horse still held
sway.
The attempt to get together
with the progressives seemed GER
tain. The New Jersey delegation
introduced a resolution asking the
appointment of committee to
advise the progressives of the re-
publican platform plans.
Americnism Keynote.
Americanism was the keynote,
and party unity was appealed for
in Harding's speech formally
opening the convention.
Harding's thrust at the demo-
Gratis for variability from Balti-
more to Vera Cruz" brought huge
roars of laughter and applause.
AS the sharp, ironic shafts ram
med home, the laughter and hand
clipping frequently interrupted
the speech. The Ohio delegation
was especially strong for the APP
plause.
Harding spoke for an hour and
10 minutes. He then recognized
Chairman Hilles, who presented a
temporary roll of officers for the
convention.
Sen. Lippitt of Rhode Island
presented the usual resolution
for the adoption of the rules of
the 1908 convention. A motion
was made for the appointment OF
a committee for permanent Or
ganization. a..
The doors of the Coliseum were
opened at 9 o'clock. Several hun
dred who had bravely waited in
the rain thankfully slid inside.
More than 800 policemen and
scores of plain clothes men were
on duty.
No Amalgamation. Il
Hilles arrived at 10 o'clock and
looked over the hall. There were
only about 800 persons present.
The lights were turned on, giving
the barnlike structure a greenish
look. Two Kansas delegates were
the first to arrive, and they sat
lonesomely among the empty
chairs. Countless American flags
hung everywhere.
Oldtimers said the desolate APP
pearance and dampened atmos-
phere was almost without parallel.

bled, Sen. Root said, I'VE are

Senator Borah, who has been
trying to bring about a compro-
