HARTFORD PROSECUTOR
 CRITICISES PHARMACY BOARD

Hartford, Conn, June S0.-Criticism of the state board of pharmacy for it's action in granting promiscuously licenses for the sale of Jamaica ginger was made by Prosecutor Solomon Elsner in police court today when three men accused of selling the ~> CT illegally were let off.
 ''Iu almost takes the heart out of us,' said the prosecutor in asking Judge Pal lotti to nole the cases against two of the defendants who produced licenses, ''to have department of state grant licenses for the sale of this stuff to grocers, butchers and anybody else that applies, apparently without conducting an investi- gation. The board of pharmacy is sup posed to protect the public, but promiscu- ous handing out of licenses ties our hands"
 Two grocers showed 1920 likeness and one a 1919 license. William J. Mandige from whose gasoline station Joseph Kelle- her says he bought the alcohol that caused the death of at least one of the four men who died in this city from alco- holic poisoning Sunday. was presented on the charge of selling wood alcohol with out proper labels nthe container He was held in bonds of $500 for hearing on Friday.

EITHER TROLLEY SERVICE
 OR JITNEYS MUST GO

Hartford, Conn, June 3o.-Morgan B. Brainard of this city, a trustee of the Connecticut company, said today that the time had come when communities like Bridgeport and others would have to choose between trolley service or jitneys. as the two could exist no longer side by side, and the Connecticut company would soon ask for a show of hands.
 MT. Brainard's statement was made in reply to query concerning reports that the Connecticut company had decided to take it's trolleys off Bridgeport's streets He said the exact date had not been de- termined by the trustees, but the matter would come to head some time this summer
 of course" he said, I've will not spring any sudden uitimatum upon Bridgeport and say tomorrow we will take away the trolleys, but will give am- pie warning, so that there may be time for deliberation and well considered choice. The trustees are agreed that the case of Salem, Mass, where the com munity was given the choice between the trolleys and the jitneys, is the only way effectively to deal with the competition between the two forms of transportation.
 If the community prefers jitney ser vice, we'll and good We have no feeling against such action, but will be governed accordingly and remove a form of trans portation that is second choice For three or four years jitney competition has caused the Connecticut company, serious less, and the trustees feel that it is only sane business to settle the issue with the communities involved"

RoBBER BANDS ARE
 ACTIVE IN CHINA

Chengtu, China, June 30.-DepredationI of robber bands along trade routes ir Szechuen province have become so fla grant and widespread that urgent appeala for the use of troops tc ombat the men, ace have been sent to the Chinese prov incial authorities by foreign firms oper- ating in Szechuen. The bands of rob- bers are said to be made up to a large extent of grous of deserters from troops that have been stationed in Szechuen: The outlaws have become so bold thai mail consignments. hitherto immune from them, have been seized.
 One recent report that was brought tc Chengtu was of the robbery of a paes train on the 'fbig road" which is the mai highway between Chungking and Chengtu. In this 40 bags of mail were opened and rified by the outlaws and the whole hillside was covered with stolen mail"
 In another case caravan had been held up and robbed by band of bandits when second stronger band of brigands appeared and compelled the return of the stolen goods. The leader of the smaller band was then shot The chieftain who did this declared that he had guaranteed the passage of this particular caravan, having received a substantial considers. tion.
 The activities of the bandits are fg1t as much by the individual as by the large commercial interests in the opinion Of one Chengtu mission worker who said:
 It is grevious hardship to send to Amerlca for suit of clothes, pay fir It at the present ruinous prices. wait Da- tiently six months for it's arrival and finally hear that it has been appropritaed by robbers within few days of it's des- tination"

". Bourke Cochran gave the convention today that New York would accept no second place for the governor. It is no secret that the Tammany delegation came to San Francisco with no intention of holding to Smith for many ballots and with a breaking up of the unit rule many of the New York delegates were expected to go eventually for Edwards.
 Rather than push Smith too hard the plan of the Tammany managers, it is said, was to run him again for governor of New York, and then hold him in re- serve for their candidate for mayor of New York after second term at AL bany.
 None of the old line insiders made any effort tonight to conceal his concern at the jump in the McAdoo boom or to deny that it was loaded with threatening pos abilities from their viewpoint.
 The night. after a griiling day in the convention hall, far from being spent in rest saw much planning and rounding up of forces. Some old time leaders agreed that the boast so frequently made on the convention floor as a jibe at the republicans that the democratic candi-. date would not be made in hotel room at a.. m was in danger of being chal- lenged by The impending developments Those who re willing to speak frankly, although no. publicly acknowledged that they had uphill fight on their hands trying to stem the McAdoo wave.

ARMED BANDITS
 ROB EXPRESS CAR
Make Away With $59, ,725 After Gagging and Binding Messenger and A r m e q Guard = Officers Securing River Swamps.

Augusta, Ga, June s0.-An express car on the Charleston and Western Car olina railroad was reported robbed near here early today by bandits who gagged and bound an express messenger and an armed guard and made away with $59,- FPS constituting the pay roll for the marines at the Paris Island, S. C., sta' tion.
 The money had been expressed under guard from Atlanta and was transferred here to the Charleston ana Western Car olina train which left Augusta at o.l5 a. m. When a few miles out of the city in the Savannah river bottom, it is claimed, the hold-up men entered the express car, overpowered the messenger, E. R. Der rick and the armed guard, W. M. Rob erts, and then threw the safe containing the money out of the door.
 The robbery was not discovered until about 30 minutes later after the train had crossed to the South Carolina side of the river. One of the train crew passed through the car and found the express man and the guard bound and gagged.
 Officers are securing the river swamps.

PLAN TO PREVENT
 SELECTION OF MeADOO

San Francisco, Calif., June 30-Seem- ingly in agreement that William G. Mo Adoo has the inside track on the demo- cratic presidential nomination tonight attempts were being made within the in ner circle af old line democratic party leaders to prevent his selection by the convention. The plan includes promi- nent consideration of Champ Clark, for ner speaker of the house of representa- tives, as candidate.
 It was understood that efforts were being made to get in touch with MT Clark to learn if he would accept the nomination if rendered, and that among those whom the combination would hope to enlist in it's support is W. J. Bryan, who encompassedf the defeat of Clark at Baltimore in 1912 after a ma jority had voted for him, and forced the nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
 Bryans acknowledeNl veto power over any candidate through the operation of rule which requires two-thirds of the delegates for a nomination made his sup port to the plan a factor sought by it's managers. Conferences among the old line leaders were going on actively i'm mediately the days session of the con- vention, and they made it plain in their private expressions that they were go- ing tc. any possible lengths to beat Nc Adoo
 Those forwarding the plan were using as one of their arguments for Clark as the strongest man to put up against Mo Adoo, that the party really owed nom inaton to the former speaker in pay ment for it's action in Baltimore when it deprived him of the prize after repeated ly having given him a majority-some- thing which never had been done before in the history of the party.
 Opponents to McAdoo went into ac- tion without delay after the bowling demonstration given him by the conven- ton today when presented against his will as his champions said, and with the argument that he should be "drafter for rne service of the nation"
 The further statement to the conyen- ton that McAdoo assuredly would accept the nomination if itscame to him. pro- vided a further shock to the old line party leaders. To each other they pro- fessed imperative need for prompt and forceful action if his nomination were to be prevented. The first concern of those opposed to McAdoo was to hold the Pal mer and Cox lines long enough to find a candidate to whom they could swing two-thirds vote before there were any of the threatened defections to McAdoo which it was feared, would start him on his wave toward nomination.
 To strengthen their program, the in side leaders hit upon plan to take Gov -ernor Smith of New York as a running mate for the candidate they hope to ul- timately select, despite the notice which
