of the platform .committee's report
caused hundred delegates to become
and many more ready to sup
port move to shorten the session on
report. They fear a deadlock in bal
loting and don't want the convention
to run beyond tomorrow. Voting for
the nominee begins Immediately after

up of delegates then take a recess
in order to allow the various managers

SHARP WARNING
FROM BENSON

Washington, July 1. (By the Asso-
c;ated Press) foreign in
terest not to attempt interference with
the development Of the American
merchant marine Chairman Benson Of
the shipping board declared TODAY
that the board was etermined to build
up an American merchant marine as
contemplated by the Jones shipping
act, despite threats and propaganda
by such interest to defeat the law.
"The United States," said, Admiral
Benson, "in earnest in its efforts to
place within ownership of United
States citizens control of at least part
OF it's traffic in imports and exports.
If it should by any possible means be
held that the departments of the gov
ernment lack such authority as will
insure their being able to protect
American interests in such control ad.
ditional authority will be asked by the
administration and undoubtedly be
granted by congress.
Foreign carriers and those in the
United States interested more in for
eign than American institutions will
do well to let sleeping dogs lie.'
Admiral Benson's warning was
sounded in talk to representatives
OF Pacific coast chambers of CONNER
ce and trade bodies and American
rail roads who have been disturbed by
threats Of foreign carriers to divert
business from American ports on the
Pacific coast because of the section
OF the merchant marine act premitting
preferential rate over carriers with
the United States on merchandise
moving in export and import in
American vessels. Such a threat the
chairman said is futile and idle"
IF such a threat is sincere and the
attempt is made to so divert the busi-
ness" Admiral Benson continued, the
shipping board will allocate American
ships to move the business. The ship
ping board and the interstate COM
merce commission will follow this
action by other steps which would
further protect interests Of United
States against such foreign efforts to
defeat the purpose of the merchant
marine act 3 NJ 4, !, b,
aNothiRg. could. more surely bring
about the enforcement OF this section
Of the law then adoption by foreign
carriers of their threat to divert
business from American ports"

NO PLATFORM
YET in SIGHT

San Francisco, July 1.-Shortly
after IL o'clock the committee voted
80 to II to reject light wines and
beer plank. William j. Bryan had
not talked on his bone dry plank up
to that time. The action narrowed
the fight down to two points, whether
the platform would contain a pro-
vision for rigid Enforcement or re-
main silent entirely on the prohibi-
tion question.
Auditorium, San Francisco, July 1.
After a futile night session given
over principally to waiting for, the
wet and dry fight. to come off, the
finally found the platform committee
unable to report and without pros
poets of making a report before. to-
morrow. 1t adjourned at 1920
o'clock until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. While the convention
marked time down in the big hall,
tucked away in one corner of the big
building the platform continued its
effort to harmonize it's. report. After
practically closing up the question
once, the committee decided to give
William Jennings Bryan another OPP
portunity to present prohibition
plank. =.
Apparently Mr.. Bryan made such
headway with all his arguments that
the committee, which it was once
thought would soon make it's report
with majority determined to leave
the prohibition issue out of the docu-
ment, found itself unable to make a
report at all.
Permanent Chairman Robinson had
a conference with Senator Glass of
the resolutions committee, and it was
finally announced that there was lit
tie prospects of the committee being
ready to make it's report before to-
morrow.
Amid yells of disappointment from
a record breaking crowd, which call
ed for Bryan, Bryan, Bryan" and
"We want to hear Bryan" the con-
vention adjourned until tomorrow
morning.
The resolutions committee, unable
to settle the prohibition issue, had
finally decided to let it come to the
floor, an dagreed on a program which
provided for one speaker on each
side. William j. Bryan, of course,
was to speak fof a prohibition plank
and cambridge Colby, secretary of
state, and an administration leader,
was to take the other side of the ar
gument

SOMETHING NEW
UNDER THE SUN

There is an old saying "there is
nothing new under the sun" that the
Times reporter wishes to dispute. In
talking to three ladies who had been
guests at a recent wedding, not one
of the three could tell what kind of
dress the bride wore, nor whether
she had on hat or not and did not
know whether she carried flowers or
not. Isn't that something new under
the sun?
It is true, and though bit startl-
ing and very much out the ordinary
it happened and the Times reporter
can prove it..

warfare over the prohibition plank be-

mittee of the Democratic national con-
vention with every prospect that it
would be carried later to the conven-
tion floor no matter what the commit
tee finally should decide.
While the convention waited for the
committees work to be completed,
vets and drys were locked in strug-
gle which some members thought it
might take hours to terminate.
Leaving the subject until last be-
cause it was the most troublesome of
all, the committee had made its de-
cisions on the Irish question and the
league of notions and had cleared
away all of the lesser controversies
delaying its report.
But so long as prohibition remained
in dispute, committee members agreed
that their troubles were far from over
Aside from the wet and dry issue
the biggest fight Of the day was cen.
tered in the Irish plank. Overruline
its subcommittee the committee threw
out the administration plonk proposing
to leave the Irish problems to the
league of nations and adopted in its
stead declaration of sympathy and a
pledge to take whatever diplomatic
action would be in consonance with in
ternational comfy.
In making their decision, the plat
form makers also rejected by two to
one vote the plank proposed by organ

At the same time in an adjoining
room the caucus laid plans for carry

But while prospects for floor fights or

increasing, all likelihood that the

that most Of the administration chiefs
here were content to let the league

from last nights stormy committee
meeting.
The reference to reservations, added
at the instance of anti-administratior
leaders, was not inconsistent with the

bments to the committee planks to pre-
Esent to the convention, he added, but
did not disclose them. The commit
|tee platform is silent on the prohibi-
tion enforcement. It was long doc
|nment, more than seyen thousand
words, efforts to produce brief, en-
phatic statements are being killed at
the outset. A wide range Of subjects
Rre treated, including agriculture, la
sbor, soldier relief, and a score of
Democratic questions, but foremost
was the plank endorsing the league of
nations and condemning the Repub-
ican senate and expressions of the
democratic party's sympathy with the
Irish aspirants for self government.
The Mexican plank urged that the
new Mexican government be recog-
Snized when it proved its ability to
maintain order and signified will
,ingness to meet the international obli-
:gations, to protect foreigners. The
Ielaims Of the Republican public econo-
my were branded as false pretense.

ing disclosure of the lavish use of
money" by the candidates for the Re-
publican presidential nomination and
the convention of Republican Sena-
TOR" from Michigan charged with hav-

lure laws to draw the inference that
there is indicated "reentry under the

The Republicans the plank adds, con-
trol the senate only by virtue of the

IN PROHIBITION PLANK

learned that they were inclined to re-
guard the modified language of the
plank as acceptable. Chairman Cum
mings of the national committee said
that so far as he knew no word had
been received ON the subject from
President Wilson and he believed the
president was willing to leave it in
the hands of his friends here.
Whether w. j. Bryan would be sat-
isfied to let the committees decision
stand without a floor fight was not
revealed. He had advocated declara-
tion for Immediate ratification with
compromise reservations, but in COM
mittee last night he voted for the
Walsh amendment with the explana-
tion that while it did not entirely
cover his views, it would be an i'm
provement on the subcommittee draft.
Among the other planks completed
during the day wos that relating to
woman suffrage, the committee after
q long argument following the advice
Of the subcommittee by approving an
appeal to Democratic officials in Ten
nessee, North Corolina and Florida for
quick action on the suffrage amend
ment.
On the prohibition issue the sub
committee made no recommendation
at all, and many members of the COM
mittee were for steering some middle
course in the final platform draft. A
! dozen or more of proposed declara-
tions, ranging from ultra wet to ultra
dry, were brought into the contro-
versy, however, and the whole scale of
wet and dry arguments as rehearsed
as the debate progressed.
William ]. Bryan was the supreme
chief of the drys. He told the COM
mittee bluntly that unless there was a
positive declaration for preservation
Of the present prohibition laws he
would not hesitate to appeal his case
to the convention itself. The vets,
who suggested anything from wine
and beer plank to blanket personal
liberty declaration, showed on equal
determination to fight it out before
the party's final court of resort.
To make certain that the commit
tees disagreements should be kept in
absolute confidence, Senator Glass of
Virginia, the chairman, bonished
newspaper men and spectators to fur
| thor opd f,,Yfbar hnnpJ, aa tba day
f, progressed, throwing a Gordon of po-
lice across Railways and other ap-
brooches to the committee room. He
also enjoined all members to strict
secrecy regarding subjects discussed
and action taken
