procession went on, the Rhode Island,
Florida and Hawaii standards came
up from the floor and went into the
line
The standards Of Maine and Porto

Five minutes later Michigan's
standard dropped into line Several
women who had climed to the front Of
the chairman's platform got a six foot

Demonstration Ends
The demonstration had been on
thirty five minutes when Sen. Robin
son leaned over the edge of the plat

Illinois. took the platform to second
the Attorney Generals nomination.

AS luncheon hour came and passed
with the program of nominating ora
tory only half completed, the dele
gates began to get restless, but the
chairmen of several delegations sent
out for baskets of sandwiches that
helped some.
The Palmer nomination also was
seconded by Mrs. Florence T. Gotham,
of Little Rock. Ark. who praised the
candidates record on woman suffrage
and said that he had made himself
the friend of all mothers and child

for women.
Like Ladies Talk
The delegates apparently liked to
listen to the women speakers and
they got lot of applause The
Pennsylvania and Georgia delegates
tried once to start another prolonged
demonstration, standing on their
chairs and beginning the Glory, song
again. but Sen. Robinson soon put a
stop to it and the convention went on
with it's work.
AS the roll of the states was con-

LORD TOLD HER
 TO MURDER FATHER
Sixteen-Year-OId Daughter Puts Fatal End to Family
 Quarrel.

Philadelphia.-"T Lord told me to do it as 1 lay in bed" This reason has be"n advanced to the authorities for her act by sixteen-year-old Clara Bar tell, daughter of railroad signalman of EdgewOod, who shot and instantly killed her parent.
 The first news of the tragedy came when a physician was called to the Bartell home. He found BartelI lying On the floor, sprawled face downward with a gaping wound in the chest just below the shoulder blade. The full force of charge of shot had struck him, and death was instantaneous The victims wife, almost insane from grief. and his four children still were in the house and seemed too dazed to give q coherent story.
 State policemen soon were on the scene and finally obtained some details of the tragedy. According to the wife and other children, whose story later was sobbingly substantiated by Clara, the father came home from work in the morning, and at breakfast an argu- ment, which frequently occurred in the family relative to moving to Philadel phia, broke out again.
 The children wanted to live in Phil adelphia where they could have the ad- vantages of better educational and so-

THIS YEAR LOOKS BRIGHTER

Alaska's minera1 output in 1919 was the smallest of any year since 1910, and it's value was less than half that of 1916, preliminary estimates of the geological survey, just made public, show. The output for the year brought only about s1S,50O,OO0, as compared with 2S,254,OO in 1918 and s4S,6OO,- OO0 in 1916.
 The decline was attributed princi- pally to the reverting of the copper industry to normal conditions as a re- suit of the price of the metal since 1916, when the war demanded greatly stimulated production. High operat- ing costs also caused a depression in gold mining
 Eight copper mines were operated in Alaska in 1919, producing about 44,800,000 pounds, valued at $S,500,000 The production in 1918 was 69,225 ,OOO pounds, valued at s17,O99, 900.
 He value Ol tuc duHud1 OuIpCL Ol gold declined from $16,700,000 in 1916 to s9,OO0,OO0 in 1919
 Alaska still contains large reserves of gold-bearing gravels that can be mined profitably when transportation conditions are improved, the report said, adding that "the most important event of the year for the future in min ing in Alaska was the continuation of the work on the government railroad and the assurance by congressional ac- tion of the money needed to complete the line"
 Better and cheaper steamboat service, on both ocean and river, is also imperative" the report said. Moreover, the railroad must be SUD- plemented by trails and wagon roads,
 As a by-product to gold and copper mining 59O,OOO ounces of silver and 800 tons of lead were mined during the year
 The value of the gold mined in Alaska from the discovery of the pre- cious metal in 1880 to 1919 was placed at $437 ,OOO,0 900.

 Argument was especially vehement, the mother said, and was principally between the father and the daughter, Clara. Finally, becoming enraged, Clara is said to have stepped back ward, picked up shotgun and pulled the trigger. The weapon was fired at close range, and BarteIl sank to the floor without a word.
 Further investigation convinced the authorities that there were inconsist- encies in the story and Clara again was questioned. She finally blurted out:
