 NO DARK HORSE SHOWS STRENG1;::
Sunday to be Devoted to Finding Someone Among Candidates to Whom Convention Can Swing; See-Saw Marks Night
 BallOt ting

Auditorium, San Francisco July 3.-After twenty-two frutess ballots the democratic national convention just be- fore midnight gave up hopes of selecting presidential non nee within the first week of it's session and ourned until ten o'clock Monday morning.
 Repeated attempts to adjourn defeated through out the early part of the night but midnight approached and it about to become Sunday, the tradition that democratic national convention works Sunday coup led with the that the convention tired worn and frazzled had effect and the final motion to adjourn was uopposed When the convention stopped Cox was leading with 43O McAdoo came next with 372 1-2 Palmer was down 166 1-2.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-07-04

The final ballots of the night were full of McAdoo movement, but it fail ed to make much headway. Georgia, his home state pledged to Palmer, swung over with her 28 votes in one block for one ballot to see if it would start her native son toward victory, but it failed to do so and she swung back to the attorney general.
 No dark horse appeared during the nights balloting to carry off the honors and the convention adjourned just as much in need of somebody to rally about as it was when it began balloting. It was in a deadlock with nobody in sight to break it. Sun day will be devoted to efforts to find ing somebody the convention can swing to.
 Despite the statement of some ad- ministration leaders "that it cannot go to Cox" the Cox forces on the eve of reconvening pointed out that the dark horse movement had found no rallying point that Cox still re- mained potential force which from small number at the start had talk en the lead in the balloting and nosed McAdoo out of first place.
 The Cox, McAdoo and Palmer for ces and those hoping to develop a dark horse spent the hours between recess and reassembling at p. m tonight in hurried conferences and desperate efforts to line up com promise ticket. Word from Wash irgton that President Wilson was pursuing "hands off" policy added to the confusion of the situation.
 To every argument advanced foi some dark horse, objections were heard in opposition. Those oppos- ed to Cox argued the Ohio governor had reached the maximum of his strength and lost his opportunity when the suspension of the ballotinp was permitted for the recess. Nc Adoo and Palmer forces were impor. to stop him.
 McAdoo supporters had another conference and according to the an nouncement decided to stand pat and attempt to hold all the votes they could. They said no attempt would be made to coalesce with the Palme, people because they felt a breaking of the Palmer block would turn votes to Cox.
 The Cox people at the time had { conference and announced they alsS would "stand pat"
 As a matter of fact, it appeared that either the Cox or the Palmel forces would be willing to go to some body else if the transition resulted in losses to each other.
 In short, the Cox people were de termined. to beat McAdoo, and thu McAdoo people were no less deter mined to beat Cox. Talk of the con vention going over next week wa heard but many of the leaders plan ned to hold the convention in ses sion through the night, if necessary 1 and said they were sure there woul' 1 be nominee before daylight. l At 8:17 Chairman Robinson began cdliiHg LOT Oruer' NdHce MCCorHich former chairman of the democrati national committee, recalling that democratic national convention neve sits on Sunday and predicting no nom ination before midnight, said h thought the convention would go ove to Monday.

TO BUILD MORE
 DETROIT HOMES

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 27-The De- troit Board of Commerce will stand back of. the Detroit Housing Corpora tion's proposal to float a bond issue of $600,000 for building additional homes for workers in the city. This was made when 95 per cent. of the boards membership endorsed the idea. Virtual pledges on the part of the entire membership of the board were made to subscribe most of the fund.
 The commercial organization has just completed a survey tending to show that the growth of Detroit, both in population and industry, is being retarded by the house shortage. It was revealed that workers are pay ing from $70 to s1o0 per month for places in which to live and that many workmen either are leaving Detroit for other cities or are threatening to do so.
 The bonds that the members of the | board are asked to buy are in denomi- nations of s10o, $500 and s1,oo0 maturing semi-annually. They are to be secured by mortgages.
 William Stocking, statistician ot the board, reports a big reduction ir | house construction, during July. The
 number of permits was 561 fewer l than in July, 1919.

WANTS PURCHASE
 OF STOCK NULLIFIED

When Isaac Church, of Norwa1k 7s years of age, determined to invest the savings of his life into some bonds of the Norwalk Tire and Rub Der Company, along came some men who were supposed to represent the concern and by means of undue inf1u- ence and misrepresentation he charges, obtained from him written order to purchase 500 shares of stock of the American Tire Co.,, through their agents, Dureii. Gregory & Co.,, of New York. In order to bind the transaction, Church paid the sum of $2,500 on account for the bonds,
 A suit for damages of s5, 900 was filed this morning by Church against the Durel. Gregory & Co.,, of New York, and the American Tire Co, of New Haven. The plaintiff also asked to have the order for 500 shares of stock cancelled, and for such eauit- able relief as the court deemed proper in the ease.

MOUND BUILDERS : CREATED GREAT
 STONE SERPENT

West Union. O., Aug. 27-A great serpent 1900 feet long. built of earth and stone, a symbol of the religion of ancient peoples, stands few miles from here as the most interesting and important earthwork left by the mound builders of Ohio.
 Situated in a rather secluded spot, supposedly selected by the mound builders for privacy in performing their ancient rites, the massive rep tile winds, gracefully back from a glen to higher land. The serpent's head rests upon a rock platform which presents a precipitous face to the descending sun and is about 100 feet high. The jaws of the mouth are widely extended in the act of swallowing an egg, represented by an oval ridge of earth.
 As the mound builders shaped the body they caused it to make four large folds as it tapered back to the tail, which is folded in three com plete and close coils.
 The land about this curious relic of primitive days is low at the head, but gradually ascends toward the tail. There Is ample room on all sides for & gathering of many people and the .belief is expressed that the idol wor- shipers. gathered on all sides of their
 
 forgiveness and blessings from tho beautifully hideous god of their own creation.
 ..The Serpent Mound" was pur- chased by Professor F. W. Putnam of the Peabody Museum, Cambridge Mass. in 1887, along with about 70 acres of adjacent land and shortly ,afterward a beautiful public park was laid out on the ground Thus in present days the spot of reverence sacred to the people who preceded civilization in the nation Is used as Ia playground for picnickers and pleasure seekers. The deed to the land is vested in the museum attach cd to Harvard University.
 : Those who have made study o1 the work of the mound builders have estimated that in Ohio alone there are over 10000 mounds and from 1,5oo to 2,o0o enclosures standing al monuments to their work. By the study Of ~an6fent-zsimplemen and AasnrdaI nlanA~ faiand in and near thAsl
