seventh call, but another poll was
demanded.
Ohio stood on the seventh the
same as on the sixth, IS for Hard
ing and Is for Wood.
Pennsylvania continued to stand
pat on Sproul amid the cheering OF
her delegation. Harding got o gain
Of another two from Alabama. He
also got q gain Of three from In,

There was little change IN New
York's ballot and it was certainl
there would be no nomination on
the ballot.
Four Of the Wood votes vent
back to Harding on the ballot, re-|
storing his original 80.
Tumult Oyer Recess.
a pledge had been made to some
Of the delegates to recess~ after the
eight ballots, and there was great I
confusion throughout the conven-
ton while conferences on the SUBJ |
ject went ON. When order was re-
stored, Mr.. Hert of Kentucky, thet
Lowden manager. moved . recess
until 4 p. m. There were loud
cries Of mo! MOI" It was second
ed from Pennsylvania and Califor-
mia.
Frank B. Willis of Ohio, who
nominated Harding, demanded Z
roll call, unwilling to have q recess
in the midst Of an apparently ris-
ing tide for his candidate. Mr..
Willis was called to the platform
and told that the recess was being
taken at the request Of the Harding
people. He returned to confer with
his delegation.
Abide by Sentiment
The Ohio delegation refused TO
agree to the recess, and former
Governor Willis and Myron T. Her
rick. denying that they wanted .
recess. went up to the platform /
for q conference. While the con-
ference was going on the conven-
ton was standing in the greatest
confusion. Chairman Lodge finally
induced the delegates to take their
seats. The conference on the plat
form evidently resulted in some
thing to the satisfaction of Mr.. Wils
lis and Mr.. Herrick, for they agreed
to the recess.
Michigan, solidly instructed with
her 80 votes for Johnson was the |
first state to change in today's ball |
loting, giving votes to General
Wood. Ohio also gave some Hard
ing votes to Wood but the Harding |
men said they would return to the
column with accessions
from New York.

SAW BLADE GIVES
EVIDENCE OF PLOT

a tiny saw blade was found in the
county jail early this morning. having
been dropped, it is thought, by some
of the prisoners attempting to saw the
steel bars of the Jail Evidence was
found of an effort made at saving one
of the bars. Officers searched the
jail today for other blades hut found
no more.
How the blades came into the pos
session of the prisoners is not known
at the county Jail. Magazines have
been sent recently to some of the pris-
oners and it is considered possible
that outsiders have been assisting in
the plot for another Jail break by
such means.
The five men held for first degree
busy with the saws as they are CON
fined to separate cells and are given
little liberty and few privileges. There
are several others confined in the
county Jail at this time.

Small Favors.

Young MIR. Scripps, aged %, heir
to many newspapers known by that
name in several states, made some
what Of a spectacle OF himself when
ne testified before the committee in
vestigating campaign expenditures in
New York.
Mr.. Scripps fell into the prevalent
custom a great many people have OF
accepting description they do not
understand and applying II loosely
whenever the occasion is opportune
for making desired impression
Mr.. Scripps, who was so essential
to the production of newspapers dur
ing the war that he could not be
spared for the army, was quite volu-
BILE in speaking Of the senate oil
garchy" before the senate commit
tee. Mr. Scripps is one NJ the for
ward looking men who approve the
autocracy, but he has good deal
Of complaint against an imaginary
oligarchy that is supposed to have
possession Of the United States sem
ate
The fact that Mr. Scrlpps had the
benefit Of some powerful influence
in having his classification deter
mined may have biased his Judgment
on public questions. Sometimes an
exceedingly small favor will change
the entire aspect Of ones mind.

Sale of Old Hickory.

one of the pretentious enterprises
the government engaged In during
the war was the Old Hickor~ pow
der plant near Nashville. The gov
eminent spent $50. 100000 in this en-
terprise. 1t has been advertised for
sale, II II is purchased by private
concerns or individuals the property
will be scrapped and sold for junk.
The Commercial club OF Nashville
has appointed large and represen-
tative committee Of business men
who have formed the Nashville In
dustrial corporation. This corpora
ton proposes to attempt the indus
trial development Of Old Hickory In
the event the concern should pur-
chase the plant from the government
No other bidder can be expected to
attempt an industrial development
The government squandered millions
Of dollars on the plant during the
war and produced nothing,
If the Nashville business men make
a reasonable offer for the plant with
the view to developing It into a
great industry. their bid certainly
should have preference over all the
others.
We should like to see the Nashville
Industrial corporation secure control
of this great plant. II would be un-
fortunate II this place with all its
possibilities should be sold TO wreck
ers instead OF favoring the progress
sive citizens Of Nashville who desire
TO build II up into a great industry
The purpose for which the plant
is TO be utilized should have an in
fluence in the selection Of the pur-
chaser. The purchase by private In
dividuals means that the buildings
are to be torn down, wrecked ana
salvaged, and that the institution will
pass forever as an industry. II the
corporation, consisting OF Nashville
business men, purchases the plant, II
will mean that IT Is to be rejuVenat T.
ed; that 1t will be operated and give
employment perhaps to hundreds OF
persons who eventually MAY be in
need OF employment.
In selecting it's successor as owner
of Old Hickory the government can
not afford TO overlook the economic
aspect. which certainly should be a
potential II not determining factor
in its disposition.
