BRYAN DEM0UNCES LIQUOR PLANK,
THORNE ANDHENRY.
URGE INCREASE IN
RATES.
Representatives of Shippers
And Electric Lines Appear
Before Commerce Body.

Washington, June 2o.-Increase of
passenger fares as we'll as freight
rates to permit railroads and cleo
trio lines to operate both branches
of their service at profit was urged
today before the Interstate Com
merce commission by Clifford
Thorne of Chicago, representing
shippers, and Charles L. Henry of
Indianapolis, chairman of the Ameri
can Eelectric Railway association.
Their pleas for higher passenger
rates brought that phase of the reve-
nue. question to the fore for the first
time since the rate hearing began.
Mr.. Thorne advised a S per cent
increase in passenger fares, while
Mr.. Henry contended that traction
lines with freight making up only a
small portion Of their business, could
not absorb passenger losses if an
increase is allowed in freight rates
only.
IF electric lines are to live" Mr..
Henry added, they must have a
profitable passenger business"
SlXty per cent OF tne eleCtllC llHes
in the country, he asserted derived
from 90 to IS per cent of their reve-
nues from passenger business. The
commission should construe the
trans portation act so that one class
of transportation is not benefited to
the injury of another, Mr.. Henry
said in commenting on the carriers
request that the rate advance asked
to provide the standard return per-
mtted by the act be confined to
freight"

M'ADOO PLACED
IN NOMINATION
BY DR.. JENKINS
Former Cabinet Member
Placed Before Convention
In Five-Word Speech.

San Francisco, June 30.-After
Cox, Palmer, Gerard, Cummings,
Hitchcock and others had been
placed in nomination, DR.. Burris
Jenkins OF Missouri took the plat
form and told the convention that
in view of the persistent and in
sistent demands from McAdoo that
no nominating speech be made for
him he would accede to that request,
but that it might be necessary to
draft him for the service of the
nation"
Any rumors that McAdoo would
not serve if nominated Jenkins
told the convention, could be dis
missed as "the work of enemies" "
Jenkins merely said: 81 nominate
VIM. G. McAdoo," and the pentup
enthusiasm of the McAdoo forces
broke loose in a loud and noisy
demonstration.
The demonstration was as noisy
as any of those preceding it, but
there was no effort at concerted
cheering. The pipe organ played
various airs without any apparent
system, but the demonstrators paid
little attention to the music as they
swirled around on one another S
toes, whooping and hurrahing.
In IS minutes the parade had
about run its course, but nearly all
the delegates were on their feet and
a few state standards still were in
motion. The noise making kept up
unabated, the galleries taking big
part in it.
A little of system finally was put
into the demonstration by a group
of McAdoo enthusiasts who mount
ed the high speakers table armed
with a big American flag and a
megaphone. They led the crowd in
singing Hail, hail, the Gangs All
Here" and "We Won't Go Home
Till Morning" but the attempt to
keep the demonstrators together in
their singing was drowned out bv
the whoops of those in other parts
of the hall.

galleries ripped loose with demon

ebullltion of spirits characteristic of
the great American nominating con-

1t was Chicago all over again

due measurably perhaps to better

Big Lung Contest,
Cox and Palmer and McAdoo
men had a lung contest. Thirty
minutes was nothing for demon

the largest outbursts came in the

city. Every pair of lungs became
foghorn over this.

CARFARE May Be
BOOSTED TO FLAT
RATE OF I CENTS
Member of State Commission
Wants to KnWo if Public
Would Accept Increase
Without Protest.

"Is the Omaha public fair minded
enough to accept straight 7-cent
fare if such a fare is necessary"
inquired Thorne Browne, member
of the State Railway commission,
during the street car hearing yes
terday afternoon.
The question was directed at R.
A. Leussler, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Omaha and
Council Bluffs Street Railway Co.
Mr. Leussler replied the public
would want absolute assurance such
fare was necessary before accept
ing it with equanimity.
Asked by Commissioner Browne
what assurance the public required
Mr.. Leussler said the decision of
the commission should satisfy the
public the fare increase was just"
Public Expects Lowest.
What is your expert opinion re-
garding the advisability of straight
7-cent fare?' inquired Commission
er Browne.
at might be desirable from the
company's standpoint, but the pub
lie expects the lowest possible fare"
replied Mr.. Leussler. "The public
objected to paying more than S
cents for a ride. People who ride
short distances would walk if the
fare was raised to what they con-
sidered an unreasonable amount"
A. H. Bigelow, counsel for the
Garments union, asked Mr.. Leussler
if, in his expert opinion, "the en-
ployes of the company should re-
ceive wage increase provided the
fare increase was granted"
Objections by company counsel
to this question was sustained by the
commission.
Attorneys in Clash.
Frank B. Hudson, superintendent
of transportation of the street car
company, testified the service had
been improved during the last six

to his feet and declared the COM
pany hired strike breakers at $l1
day and that the money from
