YAQUI INDIANS ARE
 BEATING THEIR TOM TOMS

MEXICO CITY, July l. Once again the monotonus but ominous "tom- -tom-tom" of the Yaqui Indians is being heard outside the confines of Sonora.
 General Plutarco Elias Gales, pro- visional secretary of war and marine for the new revolution, is taking with him more than a thousand of "Son- ora's finest" on his 1,6O0 mile trip from Agua Prieta to Mexico City to assume the duties of his new office.
 The strumming of the Yaqui drums long has been a cause of uneasiness among many of Mexico's other sold iers. Bearing the reputation of being said to be able to put his enemy to flight by the mere sound of his burro- skin "tambor"
 There is another and less sinister side, however, to the life of Yaqui soldier. He carries his home life with him to the battlefield. His wife, his children, his birds all form part of his impedimenta.
 When not in action, the Yaqui war riors do not present formidable fig ures. They may be distinguished from other tribes chiefly by their peculiar copper hue and the band of bright red they wear around their hats. The rou- tine of their camp life is quiet and or derly.
 The Yaqui lad is reared in an at mosphere of war. Should his father fall in battle, the boy picks up the an- cestral rifle and begins the realiza- tion of his martial destiny.

SAN FRANCISCO, July l. Late yesterday afternoon after Senator owen, James Gerard, Chairman Cum mings, Attorney General Palmer and Senator II tchcock had been placed in nomination for the presidency on the National Democratic ticket, pr. Bur ris Jenkins placed in nomination, Will liam McAdoo. The speech was one ot the shortest on record. Dr. Jenkins cold the convention delegates he had intended to make a formal speech but on account of persistent requests from McAdoo had decided not to do so. Dr.. Jenkins said that he was sure that if McAdoo was drafted for the honor of unning for President, he would do so m accept the nomination rumOrS and 'alsehoods to the contrary.
 Following the nomination of Me Adoo, Secretary of Agriculture Mere iith was placed in nomination, also Gov. Cox, of Ohio, Governor Smith of New York, ana Gov. Edwards of New Jersey.
 The convention adjourned at o. clock last night to meet again this forenoon at II o'clock.
 The big demonstrations yesterday came with the presentation of the names of Palmer, Cox and McAdoo al though there was a spontaneous out burst when Gov. Smith was named. The Cox and Palmer demonstrations were expected but nomination ofMcA- doc came rather as surprise because it came after days of uncertainty. The McAdoo demonstration was easily the longest, loudest, and most tumultuous and kept the convention in an uproar !ol the better part of an hour. The Palmer tumult lasted half an hour and Cox q little longer than half an hour. The bands played, processions were "olmed and the convention was in haos When McAdoo was named, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and oth- or standards swept first into the big procession, the demonstrators chant ir,' "Mac II do" ceaselessly. Standards of more than thirty states were final ly in the McAdoo procession. When Gov. Edwards was named, the band layed "How Dry am" much to the delight of the delegates and those in Ire galleries.
