San FranciscO.-FrOm the shadow

the country to President Wilson.
The national convention flung aside
for the moment the business before it,
while delegates carried on a demon

1t was half hour before the out

Again and again as his name was men

eliminate in the shout of approval
that adopted and sent to the White
House a striking testimonial of his
party's faith and pride in the man
who has led it through troublous
years.
Vice-Chairman Kremer of the ma
tional convention committee called
the convention to order, but it was
long before order could be restored.
Even when Vice-Chairman Kremer
had launched upon his speech, echoes
of the storm still lurked in the air.

NEWS ITEMS FROM
ALL OVER KANSAS
Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
FEWER COAL CARS IN STATE
Commerce Commission flinders Trans
portation of Fuel While Aiding
the Shipments of Wheat.

Kansas got her wheat cars, Il, 400
Of them. They are arriving at a rate
of one hundred cars a day at Kansas
City and Chicago terminals. But Kan
sas will have to pay for them. The
interstate commerce commission gave
with one hand and took away with the
other-11, 500 coal cars.
The price OF coal is advancing 25
cents a ton a month, and has ad-
vanced so since April. The tax looks
as though it will cover the price Of
the box cars before winter is over.
A steady movement of coal cars out
of the Kansas fields, noticeable for
the last week, has been traced to ser
vice order No. 2 of the car service
commission, last remaining vestige Of
government control Of railroads,
which started the delivery of coal cars
to eastern roads May 25 and has been
getting away with them at a rate Of
four hundred a day since that date.
These roads must turn over coal
cars to eastern railways: Santa. Fe,
1000 cars, or 200 a day for twenty
days; Rock Island, 1000 cars, or 200
a day for twenty days; Union Pacific,
$500 cars, or so day for thirty days;
Missouri Pacific, 400 cars; Katy, 500
cars; Frisco, 500 cars.
These cars must be delivered to
roads east Of the Mississippi They
will be taken from the terminals and
the entire southwestern mine fields of
Barton and Jasper counties in Mis-
souri, and Crawford and Cherokee
counties in Kansas.
Coal operators believe the boxcars
will be left here after the wheat has
been hauled to the terminal elevators
and used for coal shipments next win
ter. There isn't a mine in Kansas
equipped to load coal in boxcars. The
cost Of labor to reload the boxcars
from the mine dumps will almost
double the price of next winters coal.
In addition, the cost of reflooring box
cars damaged by coal hauling will be
added to the price of coal at a rate
of SIS a car
Judge Clyde Reed of the industrial
court, who is threshirg out the car
shortage problem with the coal men
after years difficulties with the
wheat growers, admits the coal stu
alton is serious.
at is true, however" Judge Reed
says, that Kansas has had more than
her quota of coal cars since the strike
last winter, in which time coal cars
from the East were sent here with
Pennsylvania and Illinois coal"
But the mines in the southeastern
part of the state are working half
time now from lack of open top cars.
Soft coal is selling here now for $3.50
a ton. Dealers predict S12 and SIS
coal here next winter.

Cummings Roasts Republicans.

Cummings Roasts Republicans.
When Chairman Homer S. Cummings
of the national committee had been
elected temporary chairman and es-
corted to the platform they finally
hushed and prepared to listen with
close attention to his keynote address.
Delegates expected something to
cheer at. They were in the mood for
it and they were not disappointed.
Mr.. Cummings began in a quiet
voice. A few shouts of louder came
from far back in the hall, but he had
not proceeded far before the great
throng was so still that every syllable
was carried to the highest galleries.
It was a long speech. Mr.. Cummings
suggested that to his hearers, but cries
of "go no. take your time,'' met him.
He drove his points home hard and
his audience was alert to cap them
with shouted approval. At one point
he chided the Chicago platform of the
Republicans because it contained, he
said, no word of hope for Ireland, nc
mercy for Armenia and because il
concealed a sword" for Mexico.
