RUNNING THE GAUNTLET
IN The CAUSE OF COMFORT

The Fat Reporter took a CLINT at the
offering from the editorial desk in
Thursday nights issue and then he
took the hint That reference to the
doubted courage of the national guard
in the matter OF nifty clothes rather
got his goat.
SO forthwith he biossomcd out in
cheese cloth raiment of sunlight hue
and Immediately discovered few
things. First thing OF tie bat he dis
covered that the editorial pen is all
wrong. II doesn't take brave man
to wear the high-light cloihes--it takes
coward After the first plunge a
brave man would have nerve enough
TO 20 back and take them on, but a
coward is afraid TO. And the Fat Re-
porter didn't take 'em on.
The second point uncovered Is that
The Record is a thoroughly read pa
per. Everybody had read that edito-
ial. Not only that. but they were glad
TO tell the Fat One all about Il.
The irst man the reporter met look
ed him over carefully and then said.
II wouldn't wear that thing 20 a Chin
ese funeral" The reporter replied.
"I dent give dam IL vol wouldn't
wear anything 10 any funeral"
Opinions were plentiful and ad sice
was cheap.
''Whoopee, See the white elephant"
was one of those extremely comforta-
bic and complimentary remarks that
came from across the street
''Why don't you put ruffles on
them?" was the query of prominent
attorney. who looked the trousers over
thoroughly.
II was discovered that nobody likes
to wear thcm. but everybody likes to
ser iody else wear tten.
The Fat Reporter is convinced that
It takes a real coward to make the
plunge. but that the water gets to feel
an twfnI quick. There are some WHO
would like to make Il. too.
And there are some who need good
ducking as soon as they make it--if
they ever do.

BEGINNING OF NIGHT SESSION

Coliseum, st. Louis, June 16.-The
Democratic national convention con-
yened at 9:15 O'Clock last night with
the announced purpose of remaining
in continuous session until it had re-
nominated President Wilson and Vice
President Marshall, adopted a plat
form and transacted all other busi-
ness that brought the representatives
OF the party to st. Louis. Senator
Thompson of Kansas moved suspen-
sion of rules to permit William Jen-
nings Bryan to address the conven-
ton. 1t carried and the Nebraskan
Immediately was brought to the plat
form. All the vice presidential
booms except that of Governor Major
of Missouri had been effectually kill
ed of by President Wilson's an
nouncement that he desired the re-
nomination of Mr.. Marshall and this
only remained to receive favorite son
compliments. There apparently was
no doubt that Majors name would be
Withdrawn after a complimentary ball
lot had been cast and that the re-
nomination of Wilson and Marshall
would be made unanimous.
The platform committee, wearied by
an all-day session, remained at work
drawing up the declaration of prin-
ciples so that it might be brought in
before an adjournment was taken and
the work of the convention might be
finished. A session lasting well into
Friday morning was assured.
The conventions sudden decision
Thursday to proceed with nominations
and finish tonight instead of prolong-
ing the sessions thru today and prob
ably into Saturday, as had been plan
ned, let down the bars, and the specu-
lators unloaded their tickets.
Coliseum Packed to Roof.
The big coliseum was packed to the
roof as a result The spectators
were un9repared for the sudden order
to bring the convention to close,
and it is believed their losses were
heavy. agsS4
While the convention was assemb-
ling IL became known that the NebraS-
ka delegation planned to withdraw
the vice president candidacy OF Cover
nor Morehead. The delegation explain
ed that the president had not asked
the denomination of Vice President
Marshall when they brought out their
governors candidacy.
Governor Major to Stick.
Governor Major of Missouri said
the withdrawal of Governor Morehead
would not change his plans to have
his name presented.
Before the convention was called to
order the Coliseum was so full that
the fire department took charge of
the entrances and permitted no more
to come in. William ]. Bryan. how
ever, managed to get by and got his
usual uproarious reception as he took
his seat. Senator James learned OF
the Nebraskan's plight and rescued
him.
At 9:15 Chairman James raped the
convention to order. TIE Rev. w. ].
Hardesty, chaplain OF the Missouri
senate, delivered the prayer.
The crowd yielded to the rapping
of the gavel long enough to hear the
prayer and then renewed its demands
for speech from Bryan. Chairman
James admonished the galleries.

CROSSINGS TO Be
PROTECTED BY "WIGWAG"
SIGNALS WITHIN go DAYS

Denver. June 17.-Each railroad
crossing at grade with the main North
and South highway between Denver
and Pueblo, on the lines of the Atchin-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway com
pany and the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad Company, will be protected
with 'wig-wag" signal within

sued today by the State Public Utili-
ties Commission.
This order was issued following an
investigation by the railroad engineer
inspectors of the Commission and a
hearing before the Commission on
June 9th, at which both railroads were
represented.
The reports of the commissions
engineer and inspectors stated that,
owing to the heavy trlfhc on the
highway in question. which is a
primary state highway, each grade
crossing was dangerous and should be
adequately protected. A traffic cen
sus taken by an inspector for the
Commission at each of the grade cross
ings to be protected showed that up.
wards of 300 automobiles and other
vehicles used each crossing daily.
This census was taken during the
month of May, prior to the usual
summer rush of tourists and other
traffice, and may be considered to be
far smaller than would be the case
during the months of heavy traffic.
The "wig-wag" type of signal has
been installed at several grade cross
ings in the state, including six with
in the limits of Denver, and has been
approved by the Commission and its
engineers as furnishing the best pcs
sible protection for grade crossings
where the maintenance of gates and
a watchman is impracticable, or
where the cost of eliminating the cross
ings is prohibitive, as in the present
case
These signals are both audible and
visual at all hours of the day and
night. They give warning by means
of gong that rings simultaneously
with the swinging forth and back
across the highway of a red disk at
the end of an arm. In the center of
the disk is an electrically lighted red
bulls-eye which makes the swinging
signal visible at night.
The installation of these signals
and the early compliance of the rail
roads with a previous order of the
Commission requiring all grade cross
ings to be made smooth and of uni
form grade are expected to make the
main North and South highway be-
tween Denver and Pueblo one Of the
safest in the state of Colorado.

FOSTER THINKS HITTING
 IS A GIFT.
Giants Secretary Doesn't Believe Bat
 ters Gan Be Made.
John B. Foster. secrt

John B. Foster, secretary of the Giants, has been connected with base ball for the greater part of his life in the capacities of player, writer and club official. No, John B. never wore the spangles of 8 big league player but as a young fellow in NOrWallI, Unio, some years ago he was one of the best pitchers in a section of the country denseIy populated with top notch semi pro teams. But let Foster tell it himself
 When I was a kid" says John, 'T asked nothing more than to be allowed to play ball, and play ball I did, morn ing, noon, and night. We organized a team in NOrwalk, where I was born and spent most of my time until I en- tered the newspaper business in Cleve- land: and we played all through that section of the State. Many a time we rode twenty miles or more in carriages over dusty country roads 10 play the teams in the nearby villages, and many a merry battle we had on the bali fields, too.
 Though I was @ sIenderskid, and the youngest member of the team l gen. erally did the pitching. When I was about 16, I mastered a curve ball, and curve balls were not in, general use in that vicinity at tho time. It was funny to sec the opposing batters, who had been used to nothing but straight balls and change of pace, breaking their backg swinging at the curves I fed them
 And though John B. doesn't admit it himself. he was looked upon as a marvel by his teammates and the players on the teams of the neighbor- ing towns of Tiffin, Sandusky and Warren. He was regarded as prom ising material for the big leagues, but at 19 he forsook the diamond and be-

ball. It doesn't make any difference how big or how small he may be, a man can succeed as a. hitter if he has Q batting eye, and if he hasn't all the managers in the world cant make a hitter out of him.
 Another thing which player needs is plenty of nerve. We have two men on the Giants now who are capable young ball players but who are in clined 10 be nervous if they think any thing depends on them, They ought to overcome that failing with a lit tie more experience, and l look for them to develop into first class play CTS.
 The players I refer to are George Kelly and Herbert Hunter. Like most other youngsters breaking Unto the big league, these boys are unable to do their best as yet because they are each a bundle of nerves. A little seasoning in the minor leagues would be of value to both, but there isn't a chance of the New York club getting either of them out of the National league"

Only Few Small Men Are Among the
 Top Notchers.

Do small men make the best sprint CTS? Arthur Duffey, who is a little fellow and in his day one of the great est foot runners that ever wore a spiked shoe, things so. Looking back over the championship winners for the past 30 years, the evidence is all against Dufey's opinion. We have had many good little sprinters in ad- ditiOn to Duffey.
 Archie Hahn, of NIilwapkee, the A. A. U. 1913 100 and 20 champion, who now trains the Brown university athletes, is about : foot, inches. Eddie Ramsdeu, the 1894 intercoIIegi- ate champion, who did even time that year, was little fellow. Johnny Crum, of Iowa, stood about feet, 5 inches. In 1895 he won the college championship in both sprints, doing even time for the 1OO and 22 second for the 220 yards.
 In the American professional ranks Danny Budd, of Meriden, Conn, and Piper Donovan. of Natic1, Mass, we're the only really top notch sprinters among the small men. Of course not considering any distance under 100 yards There were a number of little fellows who were very fast up to 50 yards, but anything short of the iG0 has never been considered a real sprinting distance.
 Among the small men who have won the 1G0 and 220 championships since 1900 in the 4. A. U. we find only two, P. J. Walsh, of the N. Y. A C.,

Indifference Shown to Record Break

ing Earnings of U. s. Steel.
 New York, July 26.-Wau Streets apparent indifference today to the rec ord breaking earnings and extra div idend of the United States Steel Cor pOratiOn and other highly favorable pOrtents was source of surprise to traders and financial interests gener- ally. Steel rose a full point in the first few minutes TeliDuuiShei more than it's gain before noon and closed at S6 Is, a net gain of Is point.
 Other leading stocks were, if any thing. less responsive to COnstruc- tive factors, rails in particular making further declines. On the surface it would seem that much Of tQdaEs de- precision was brought about by the short interest, whose technical posi- tiOn has been strengthened by re- current fears of foreign liquidation and the lack of public or investment inquiry.
 Heavy offerings of the new French five per cent. notes recently nego- tiated by American bankers was an other influence making for added re- straint. Sales of this issue for the day apprOximated the large sum of s. 100000, practically all at 9S. the sub scriptiOn price. AnglO-f'renCh lives were relatively steady at the pre- vailing level.
 Lowest prices were registered in the morning, the list making varia- ble but tnconclusive recoveries in the final hour, mainly in consequence of short coverings. '. s. Industrial AL cohol and Mexican Petroleum. among the weakest featUrs of the morning. regained much of their loss, wi1h some motors and munitions. Rails continued backward, however. with Steel. Total sales were 455.O00 shares
 Resumption of dividends on the common stock of the Pressed Steel Car Company offered additional proof of the prosperous condition of the various equipment concerns. Steel trade authorities reviewing that in dustry referred to the heavy ton mage and large purchases yet to be made in this country by Europe.
 The sole feature of the exchange was the further shading of marks. Sterling and francs were steady, but dull. Another small export of gold to Cuba was reported.
 Speculative bond issues were slightly lower with total sales, par value, of $4,655,O0O
 Panama coupon threes were 1-2 per cent. higher on call with other government issues unchanged.

 The third heat was much slower than the preceding two and was taken Ky Mabel Trask eased up with St. Frisco second, four length behind. Virginia Barnette was a nose behind St. Fris- co.
