CITY PEOPLE "EASY MARKS"
Many Bestowed Aims on Beggar for
Whom Lusty Youth Was En-
gagged in "Barking."

Since efficiency is finding its way
into all business one of the oldest
professions" of all has begun to adopt
modern methods. The innovation Is
due to a beggar who made his stand
opposite one of the subway entrances
along the Williamsburg bridge APP
proach on Delaney street, the New
York Evening Sun states.
Many who passed this spot recently
were struck by the appearance of this
beggar, an elderly. long-bearded man,
who sat huddled up in wheel chair.
Alongside was husky youth of nine
teen or so, buslly engaged in barking
for the beggar. Secretly the latter
must have thought it a good joke on
the alms-giving public, for there was
always a smirk on his face. as his
friend shouted so none should neglect
to drop coin in the beggar's lap. His
"spiel' was in Yiddish. which, roughly
translated into English, would be:
"Stop: Give charity, people"
Many who ought to have known bet
ter stopped and gave.

New Wireless Distress Call.

A novel wireless emergency device
by which ships in distress can ring
alarm bells on other ships within wire
less range is reported by the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce in London.
The present wireless system of COM
mInicatlon requires that an operator
to hear a call must be on duty, wear
ing the usual telephone headpiece.
The new device is said to enable any
station or ship equipped with spe-
cial automatic trnnsmitter key TO call
up any station or ship within range,
fitted with q corresponding receiver re-
lay, even if the operator is absent.
The calling up, according to the Amer
lean chamber, is effected by a bell
which starts ringing on the ships
called.
1t is claimed that one of the most
important uses of the devices will be
to insure immediate and general at
tention to S. o. S. calls.

 With more than 1000 votes in the conVentlon it is easily seen that the instructed delegates can hardly prevent nomination by the delegates not bound and are far from being able to nominate Such situation makes the convention difficult it makes handling it almost impossible propos tion Try as they may, they can find no one who is able to hold back the delegates not instructed once they take the bit in their teeth.
 It is this that has put the old line men with their backs to the wall in their fight to stop the McAdoo boom. There is strong sentiment for the former Secretary of Treasury which all the abuse sbowered on him. all the attacks of the Republican publicity committee all the willy nsnuations of heir ship to President Wilson, has been unable to check That sentiment has been and still is prevalent throughout the country
 The ovation signalling his nomination shows clearly that the delegates not untouched by that sentiment. His presented over his pro- the reception givtn it is all the more srlk- ing for that reason. But the ovation does not nee indicate that he has the strongest personal following of any candidate whose name was placed in nomination, but it may not be strong enough to carry off the prize

 One of the biggest and best bits of reporting done in many day is Louis Seibold's nine columns in erview with President Wilson, appearing in the New York World, Friday, June IS. It is rarely that President, particularly President Wilson, has submitted to formal and extended interview as the means of announcing his opinions and policies.
