This report was received to-day with
credence by Department of Justice

intimated arrests would be made soon

tial Nominee Tomorrow

COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June 10
After adopting the report of the Pcso-
luticns Committee and thereby aa-pt-
ing its platform, the Republican Ma
tional Convention adjourned at 1885
o'clock tonight until o'clock to-
morrow morning
There was no fight in the convention
over the platform with the hard fought
plank on the league of nations. An at
tempt to substitute minority report
went down under a landslide Of noes.
When the convention reconvenes to-
morrow morning it will be under an
agreement to nominate Presidential
candidate before it ends its session.
All nominating speeches are to be de-.
liyered, the seconding speeches being
limited to two for each nominee and to
five minutes each.
Under that agreement the conven-
tlon will leave the nomination of a
Vice-President for Saturday.

Secret Magic Puzzles
We are puzzled as to the secret Of
his magic. He has huge advantage,
Of course, in the fact that he knows
the rules so much better than anybody
else. Also he has a singularly nice
and discriminating ear. When few
delegates shouted for Joe Cannon dur
ing lull in the afternoon session,
Lodge caught the request at once and
called the veteran to the platform
A little later, when many bawled for
Borah, there was no dsconcerting the
deafness Of tho presiding officer.
When he makes a speech, few cheer
him, but probably he does not mind
that very much, for aloofness is part
Of his stock in trade. He is always
alert but just little bored with pro-
ceedings.
Even autocratc acts by Lodge
aroused little resentment, because it is
so evident that he takes no pleasure in
anything. He is almost infinite in his
lack of interest in what is going on
about him. Huge waves of mass emo
tion may reach him now and again,
but they quickly recede, for he is a
stern and rockbound coast. If he had
not become Senator he would have
been an excellent baseball umpire.
However, it is hardly fair to praise
him unduly for remaining unemo-
tional throughout to-day's session.
Your correspondent, who is so naive a
person that he invariably cries when
Jane Cowl dies and shouts when Babe
Ruth so much as hicks foul, was able
to remain entirely calm to-day. To be
sure, we were not quite so successful
with our collars as Mr. LOdre but
emotion had nothing to do with it,

BOY Mayors
Name for 81, 900
Innocent Check, Made Out
as Part Of His Studies,
Spurs Police Into ActiOn

An innocent check, signed with the
name Of "John F. Hylan" by a small
boy In Brooklyn, who was pursuing
business course, set the whole Po-
lice Department in action to discover
the supposed forger.
few days ago two women came
to the City Hall with q small black
pockctbook which they told John F.
snnott, secretary to the Mayor, they
found in the corrido1 Of the Equitable
Building, at l20 Broadway. It con-
tanned a check for $1,000 signed with
the mayors name, but pronounced a
forgery by the Mayor when it was
shown to him. The book also con-
tanned two dollar bill and an identl-
fication card.
The evidence was turned over to the
Police Department and Commissioner
Enright started an investigation. Cap
tam Coughin, of the Brooklyn de-
tective force. found that the pocket
book belonged TO Jacob Shiffman. a
twelve -,year-old boy, member of Pub
lie School 10, at Kcap and South
Third streets, Brooklyn.
Caroline J. Kcnnun, young Shift
mans teacher, explained that the boy
had been taking business course
a"d she had instructed him to make
out check ns part Of his studies.
The boy had an old bank book with
some blank checks in it and, since he
lived in the iehborhood of the
Mayor, he made it out to himself and
signed the Mayors name to it. without
thought of wrongdoing. Ile was
complimentcd by his teacher for his
business ability. A day or two later
the boy WAS in the Equitable Building
and lost his pockctbook. His only re-
grct was that he had lost his monthly
allowance.
Ycsterelay after hearing the circuin-
stances the Mayor ordered the pocket
book ard the money returned TO tho
boy, hut he kept the cheek as Il
souvenir.

OBSERVE AMERICAN DAY HERE
Patriotic Program Sunday Night Heard
BY Large Crowd

The program given at the X. P. hall
Sunday night under the auspices of
the United Americans. proved to be
one of the best and most appreciated
entertainments that have been held
in Bonners Ferry for some time. The
program was arranged by r. M. Flood,
county chairman OF the United Amer
ican organization and he presided at
the meeting.
Talks along patriotic lines, in which
radicalism was soundly berated and
the future of Americanism was dis
cussed, were made by Fred S. Stoos.

Gibson. The meeting opened with
two selections by a ladies' quartette
composed of Mrs. f. A. Shultis, Mrs.
G. II. Wilbur. Mrs. Belle Bishop and
Mrs. S. c. Witwer. ]. A. Hanson
rendered a trombone solo and Miss
Veona Johnston and c. w. King were
heard in vocal solos.
American DAY was also celebrated
last week in many of the schools OF
the county by appropriate programs.
An American Day program was given
at the Northside school on Friday af-
ternoon, the program consisting of a
number of songs, readings and reci-
tations appropriate for the day and an
address by e. M. Flood.

The complete program in the grade
events was not carried out because
many of the grade boys had not had an
opportunity TO practice for them. The
grade boys from the rural schools dis
played some fine material for athletic
work and the experience they had on
Friday will be one of the inducements
for them to come to high school here
next term.
Next year Supt Kerr and the high
school faculty and student body, plan
to make even greater effort to interest
the eighth grade students of the coun-
ty in continuing their school work and
attending the county high school in
this city.
BY this means the local high school
will be built up until in a few years
it will rank the best in the state, not
barring the schools of the larger cit
les and districts.
