Gratis INDUCED in love feast in which
the advent of harmony in their ranks
was celebrated. The leader of this
demonstration of good will was VIII
liam Jennings Bryan.
Wilson Praised by Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan was cheered enthusi-
astically as he entered the press sec
ton with Mrs. Bryan shortly after
nine o'clock. A few minutes later,
upon the motion of Senator Thompson
of Kansas, the convention suspended
the rules amid tumultuous good feeling
and invited Mr.. Bryan to the rostrum.
A committee conducted Mr.. Bryan
amid wild cheering to the side of
Chairman James.
Mr.. Bryan launched into a speech
lauding the administration of the pres
ident.
Following Mr.. Bryan's address the
convention got down to the real bust
ness for which it had been convened
and the denomination of President
Wilson and Vice President Marshall

above. The convention took recess
until eleven o'clock Friday morning,

cussion and practically no opposition.

TWO BIC CONCERNS WILL
OCCUPY NEW QUARTERS
THE DISPATCH AND COLUMBUS
RAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER
co. TO MOVE.

Two important local concerns,
the Columbus Dispatch and the CO.
lumbus Railway, Light and Power
Company will soon move into new
quarters. The Dispatch will move
into the building at No. 413 Main
street, at present occupied by the
Pastime pool room, and the Colum-
bus Railway, Light and Power
Company will move into the build
ing vacated by the Dispatch.
Both these buildings are owned
by Hon. p. w. Maer, editor and
proprietor of the Dispatch, and it is
understood that the changes are to
be made because the Columbus
Railway, Light and Power Company
evinced a desire to secure long
lease on the structure which for the
past eleven years has been used by
Mr.. Maer as the home of publica-
ton of his newspaper.
1t is authoritatively stated that
contracts have already been signed
and that both concerns will move tc
their new quarters within the next
thirty days.

ACTIVITIES Or POLICE
DECREASE LIQUOR SALES
FEW BLIND TIGERS ARE OPER-
ATINC HERE, AND GAMBLING
is ON DECLINE.

There has been a marked decrease
in the sale Of blind tiger liquor in
Columbus during the past few
months, and this decrease is attribu-
table both to the recently enacted
state law limiting shipments and to
the activities of the local police de-
partment.
Last December the police force
was reorganized, Mr.. John Morton
having been taken from the ranks
and placed at its head, and since that
time a vigorous war against the IL
lieit sale Of liquor has been waged.
Many blind tigers have been broken
up, and the police keep close watch
to see that no new places spring into
existence.
The police are also making things
hot for knights of the green cloth,
and the city is probably freer from
gambling than al any former period
in its history.

COURT BENCH.
CONGRESS MAY
SOON CONFIRM
President Hopes Favorable
Action Will Be Taken Be-
fore Present Session Ends.

Washington, July l5.--John Hes

Cleveland, Ohio, was nominated by
President Wilson today as an asso-
cate justice of the supreme court to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Charles Evans Hughes to
accept the Republican nomination
for the presidency.
Prompt confirmation of the APP
pointment by the Senate is expected.
The judiciary committee will meet
Monday to consider it. Two years
ago the Senate confirmed the nomin-
alton of Mr. Clarke as district judge
after an investigation had disposed
Of suggestions that his service as
counsel for railroads might have i'm
paired his usefulness as jurist.
The President made his selection
after comforting today with his
cabinet. Up to the last moment the
name of Judge Victor ]. Bowling,
Of the New York supreme court, was
seriously considered
Judge Clarke is Democrat and
for years was identified with pro-
gressive movements in Ohio, being
associated with the late Tom John
son, Newton d. Baker now secretary
Of war, and other leaders of the par
ty in his state.
Judge Clarke was appointed dis
triet Judge about two years ago by
the President, who therefore was
s4thesoaghls ccrail I'D with his
qualifications.

ern Reserve University in 1877, was
admitted to the Ohio bar in 1878.

district judge in 1914 he practced
law in the courts Of Ohio. He is
bachelor.
He has been a lifelong Democrat
and ran against Mark Hanna for
the Senate in 1903. A sketch of his
life given out at the White House,
,ays che has been conspicuous in
progressive movements in Ohio and
in the nation at large" and is prob
ably the most gifted orator in Ohio" !"
Since becoming district judge in
Cleveland he has taken special in
terest in the naturalization and Am
reformation of foreign born citizens.
The political complexion of the
court is not changed, majority re-
naming Republican.
The President confidently expects
that Judge Clarke will be confirmed
during the present session of Con-
gress in order that he may begin the
study of cases pending before the
supreme court before the convening
Of the court in the fall.

J. ID. KENNEDY TO MANU-
FAcTURE PRODUCT
HERE.
COTTON LINTERS
ARE TO BE USED
Plant is Located in East CO.
lumbus, and Will Soon Be-
gin Operations.

Mr.. J. d. Kennedy, formerly of
Memphis, has rented building in
East Columbus and is to engage in
Il e manufacture of gun cotton,
which it is understood is to be sold
both in this country and in Europe.
In the manufacture of the gun cot
ton high grade of linters is used
and these linters can be secured in
large quantities here, as this city is
situated in the midst of a cotton
ton growing section.
A large lot of modern machinery
has been purchased and has already
begun to arrive. The building Sc
cured by Mr.. Kennedy, which for
merly housed another manufacturing
concern, now presents quite an ami
mated appearance. Laborers are
busy unloading machinery and every
effort is being made to get the plant
in operation at the earliest possible
moment. This is considered quite an
important industry, as it places CO.
lumbus within the ranks of many
cities which are gaining prosperity
through the manufacture of war sup
plies.
The plant will turn out 10000
pounds of gun cotton per day, and
the chlorine which it is necessary to
use in the bleaching process will be
manufactured here. 1t will be made
by an eleetrolysis process and spe-
cial machinery will be required for
its lAanusal suie.
One thing that induced Mr.. Ken
nedy to locate his plant here was the
high quality of our water. Pure wat
, er forms an important factor in the
manufacture of gun cotton, and he
found here water of the purest quail
ity, recent analysis having shown
the local supply to be clear, soft and
free from minerals.

GERMAN LINE NETRATEO
by BRITISH At SONNE
TEUTONS PUSHED BACK ONE
MILE AFTER SHORT bonn
BARDMENT.

London, July l5.--After the
briefest preliminary bombardment
which has preceded any important
action on the western front, the
British armies on the Somme have
again swept forward and have cap
tured several important German
second positions. On front Of four
miles the British have advanced TO
a depth Of mile and have held all
positions gained in spite Of violent
counter attacks
The stragetic Importance Of the
British success is marked by the
strengthening Of their line in CON
formity Of that Of the French, who
had hitherto advanced at much
greater speed than their allies. The
brevity Of the preliminary lombard
ment coupled with the statements
of press correspondents at the
front that the British losses were
comparatively small lend support
to the unofficial statements that the
German second line was much less
strongly fortified than their first
line defenses.
On the French portion of the
Somme front no action Of impor-
tance was recorded. but in the
French official statement for Friday
i il was announced that the lombard
ment on the Belgian front haC
reached a point of most intensity.

Antonio today
A prominent young Mexican, who
has made his home here FOR several,
years, son of one Of the greatest
Mexicans of the Diaz regime, rel
turned from the City of Mexico. He
had gone there Immediately after
President Wilson called out
the national guard to offer his SER
vices to his country While there he
enjoyed the condolences of mem
bers of Carranza's cabinet and was
informed OF the intention to displace
Carranza.
Returning TO San Antonio, this
Mexican, who enjoys the high re-
gard Of both Mexicans and Ameri-
cans, told some of his closest friends
and tonight the plot is being widely
discussed. The man who brought the
news now refuses to admit its au-
thenticity, and his friends ask that
his name be not used on account OF
the damage such publicity would do
him in Mexico.
It is said that the Felicitas, the
followers Of Felix Diaz, viii come in

months ago The Columbus raid saw
ed Carranza for a time, and now
0brcgon is said TO have lost his pow
er to unite various factions. For that
reason Gonzales has been fixed upon
as the strongest man.
Gonzales has been considered fair
to Americans, and he has been loyal
to the Carranza cause consistently.
He began his career as a flower mil
ling employe in the state Of Coahil-
la, in one of Carranza's mills, and
afterward married the daughter Of a
German American miller, Miller by
name, too, and became a partner in
the business.

weeks past. had received an order to
proceed to the Mexican border, and
would leave Jackson yesterday. The

Thursday, all of them having been
turned down because they could not
stand the requisite physical examin-
alton. All these young men are en-
joying good general health, and
failed to pass simply because they
possess minor physical defects. They
are all popular here and received a
most cordial welcome.

bitches around the tents and in the
company streets, to carry off any
rain water that might accumulate
during storms, and tiling of per-
manent character is being put down
leading from the kitchens to the city
