What is that?" Shirley Queried.
"The mad-train runs over your
uncle's logging railroad into Township

Gated. 1t Is the only train operated
on Sunday, and 1t leaves Sequoia at
five p. m. to carry the Pennington and
Cardigan crews back to the woods

"Do they fight, Mr.. CardlganT
Frequently. l might say usually.
It's quite an inspiring sight to see a
couple of lumberjacks going to it on

hour"
"How horrible!"
"Yes. indeed. The right of way is
lined with empty whisky bottles"
Colonel Pennington spoke up. ave

Indeed! How do you prevent it?"
Bryce asked.
"My woods-boss, Jules Rondeau,

there's any fighting to be done. he does
it."

"Oh-h-h! Do you employ bohunks,
Colonel?"
Certainly. They cost less; they
are far less Independent than most
men and more readily handled. And
you don't have to pamper them-par-
ticularly in the matter of food. Why,
Mr.. Cardigan. with all due respect to
your father. the way he feeds his men
is simply ridiculous! Cake and pie
and doughnuts at the same meal!"
"Well, Dad started in to feed his
men the same food he fed himself.

But that makes 1t hard for other

When Shirley Sumner descended to

first glance at her uncle's stately
countenance informed her that during
the night something had occurred to

startle him out of his customary bland
compOsure.

FOR CONVENTION FL DOR
Democrats Will Not Be Able to Settle Queon in Com
 mittees-Br van Factor

Sal Francisco. June 23.-Rum- blings of democratic discord over the prohibition issue became hourly more om inous today as delegates and party chiefs arrived in increasing numbers for the national convention.
 Hope that the gathering storm might spend itself behind the closed doors of the platform committee vir- tuaily was abandoned by the leaders and they prepared to face an out break of tempestuous debate on the floor Of the convention itself.
 such a development, it was agreed everywhere, would hold many dra- matic possibilities. including a fur thor complication of the uncertain outlook as to the presidential nom ination
 Already the overshadowing issue in preconvention conferences. the ques- ton Of a platform declaration against the bone dry law almost took the whole stage for itself today as the delegates beard of Postmaster Gen erai Burleson's announcement for modification of the volstead act. By many accustomed to regard the post plaster general as a political spokes- man for tho White House. tho devel- opment was accepted as a warming of which way the wind of administra- ton influence would blow.
 Others among the party leaders re- fused to take that view but no one here assumed to know with certainty how far the sentiments of President Wilsoh might be in accord with those of MT. BurIeson.
 The latter, who announced his stand yesterday at San Antonio. Tex. will not reach San Francisco until late in tho week.
 Fight on Floor.
 After many conferences in m effort to lay basis for harmony. Homer S. Cummings, tho national chairman. said today it seemed to be a fair bet That the question would be taken to the convention floor for a settlement regardless of what decision was made fin the platform committee.
 Closely intertwined with the pro- hibltion question is the problem of selecting n nominee in accord with tho platform as finally agreed on. and among many of the practical politi- cia1s there is a feeling that the two decisions must be settled virtually at one stroke. So the pleas of candi- dntes' managers are falling on deaf eats for tho present while leaders get their bearings on the more imm mediate question of a bone dry or beer plat form.
 The League of Nations disagree nient along with several other dis puted platform issues has followed the question of candidates into tenn porary eclipse. Among most of the leaders it Is agreed that whatever trouble develops over the treaty will bo only a drop in the bucket com pared to the prohibition fight.
 Drys Confident.
 Leaders of the bone dry forces were confident today that they would com

brought info one Column for two or three roll calls at least, and they pointed out that if two or three can- didates divided the bulk of the voting strength among them, favorite sons and dark horses would be encouraged to prolong the deadlock by holding to their balance of power.
 In the generally accepted view the withdrawal of William G. McAdoo will operate to make a deadlock more likely by distributing more or less widely the strength which had been lined up behind him. Some thought, however, that a considerable follow ing would vote for him despite his public withdrawal, while the most en- thusiastic of the McAdoo supporters still were predicting that he would be the nominee.

mand d good majoSity in the plat form committee where each state has only one member and could keep out of the committee rep&rt any declara- lion for a change in tNle present law With this view most of the opposing managers privately agreed but they declared that when an appeal was taken to the convention itself the vote wound tell a much different story. The large states, it was pointed out, while hayinG only one vote apiece in the committee. will have a much greater voice in the whole body of delegates who make up the final court of ap- peals. And most of the largest dele Tations are counted on for support by the advocates of a beer plank
 some of the oldest leaders declare, in fact, that the division might be close enough to make argument and ora tory on the floor the deciding fac tor. In any case such an open fight would be likely. it is predicted, to furnish many thrilling turns.
 Leaders of Argument.
 William Jennings Bryan would be expected to head the bone drys and he probably would find pitted against him strategists and orators of the first rank.
 ". Bourke Cochran of New York was mentioned as one of those who might be asked to match wits and eloq.ence with the Nebraskan in the convention debate.
 Although Bryan is expected to mako a fight also against the admin istration treaty plank tho general be- lief of his friends here is that he will reserve his greatest effort for the pro- hioition problem. He is expected to reach hero late in the week, though the treaty fireworks may start with the arrival late today of Senator Car ter Glass of Virginia, who is credited with holding President Wilson's com mission to write the administration League of Nations plank.
 Senator Glass is the leading candi- date for chairman of the platform committee and the general prediction today was that he would be chosen to that position with little opposition. Some of the anti-administration man. sgcrs had not abandoned hope, how ever. that they might combine their forces to elect someone else.
 Chairman Cummings said today that it still was an open question whether the adaptation of the plat form or the choice of nominee would come first on the convention program. The prospect of a pro- longed fight in committee over pro- hibition and perhaps some other sub jects has led to suggestions that there be balloting while the committee sits. The usual order is to dispose of the platform first. however. and the gen. era1 feeling seemed to be that custom would be followed.
 Doubt as to Candidate.
 Such talk as there was today re- garding candidates seemed to strengthen the prospects of 8 dead lock for several ballots. Some of
