Reed Denied Seat
In Convention By
Credentials Board

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.--Admln$
istration supporters strengthened their
hold on the Democratic National con-
vention through series Of victories in
the credentials committee, which de-
cided three hotly-fought contests. One
Of these was the denial of q seat In
the convention to Senator James A,
Reed, OF Missouri. The Clark Howell
delegates in Georgia, pledged to Attor-
ney-General Palmer, also were seated.
Both actions were in accord with pre-
vious decisions Of the national commit
tee.
The credentials committee, however,
overruied the national committee in the
Oregon case where It seated r, +, Tur-
ner and John l.. Schuylemah. giving
each one half vote Turner, who was
selected by the Oregon state commit
tee to I'll the vacancy caused by the
death Of George T. Baldwin, was forced
TO yield half OF his vote to Schuyle-
man, described as a strong adminlstra-
tion supporter. SChuyleman claimed
the seat on the ground that he was the
next highest man in the primary, hav-
ing been fifth in the race for the four
places.
All three contests were long drawn
out and we're marked by acrimonious
statements and bitter personal attacks,

OPEN HEARING ON
ISSUES HELD BY
PLATFORM BOARD
Labor. Liquor and Irish Cues
tlonS Debated at Session Of
Full Committee Before Real
Work BEGINS.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.--Actual
preparation OF the Democratic plat
form delegated last night to a subcom-
imittee OF nine under administration
,eladersnip. nla atdSr waited today while the
house to hear final suggestions and
arguments from many sources.
Labor, liquor and the Irish question
all subjects of disagreement among
party leaders, were up for debate at
tne committees public hearings, Be
sldes there were many speakers on is
sues of lesser controversy, and there
seemed little prospect that the long
list could be finished until late in the
day.
Meantime, as observers studied the
makeup of the subcommittee II be-
came more apparent that the real con-
test over the platform would come after
the subcommittee report had been laid
before the full committee for review.
WIN. j. Bryan, omitted by the admin
istration leaders from membership on
the subcommittee, said he proba bly,
would not present his plank on prohi-
bition, the league of nations and other
subjects for subcommittee considera
ton at all.
Selected by Senator Glass of Vir-
ginia after, he had been unanimously
chosen chairman of the platform com
mittee, the subcommittee was expected
to show majority of administration
supporters and majority also against
inclusion Of any wet plank in the plat
form. Senator Glass, understood to
be President Wilson's own choice to
head the committee, made his selections
after long conference with Secretary
Colby, of the state department, a mem
Der of the committee from the Dis
trict of Columbia. and the administra-
tion manager on the floor OF the con-
vention.

New Jersey, who wants a wet plank,
was left off the list of nine.

ton proposal and representatives of the

HOLLOW Rock To Be
Real TOWn; 6O-ROOm
Hotel To Be Built

The Nashville, Chattanooga & St;
Louis railroad plans to make real
town out of Hollow Rock Junction, now
but a mere jerk water crossing, ac-
cordlng to John 9. Ryan general agent
for the line at Memphis
In accordance with plans for making
Hollow Rock junction the home
terminal" for both the Nashville and
the Memphis Paducah divisions, with
roundhouse and repair shops for the
care of equipment operated in four di-
rections, to Nashville, to Memphis, to
Paducah and TO Hickman, the company
proposes to erect a modern 60-room
hotel and to provide for the building Of
homes for employees there.
A subdivision of so half-acre lots has
been laid off by the railroad, all but
four of which have already been pur-
chased by employees on easy terms.
The company is selling these lots to
employees at $3.50 each, and will erect
for their men homes costing from $2,-
500 UP. The initial payment on the
lots Is $25, with lnstallments of $25
per month until lot and building are
paid for. The men may build any type
of house they choose, and it Is optional
whether the railroad or an outside con-
tractor erects the building.
A site has already been obtained for
the hotel and when completed it is to
be operated by an experienced hotel
man of Lexington.
1t is reported that the N, c. & St
L. railroad ccntemplates improvements
at Hollow Rock junction that will mean
an investment of $500, 900, with the pos
sble removal Of the Lexington and Pa
ducah shops 10 Hollow Rock. The erec-
tion of a $4,000 office building for the
of the two divisions
and their staffs is to be started soon,
it is said.
The contemplated changes will cause
the transfer of many employees from
Paducah and Nashville to Hollow Rock
and make it one of the important rail
road towns OF the state.
