NO PROSPECTS FOR
BALLOT|NG TODAY
Long, Bitter Fight Over League
of Nations Plank Delays
Committee.
BY Associated Press 20 Every Evening

San Francisco, July Prospects for
bslloting late today for PRESIDENTIAL
candidate went glinmerine as the dele
gates to the Democratic convention as
sembled for the fourth days session.
A long, bitter fight over the league OF
nations declaration in which the support
ers Of President Wilson were forced to ac-
cept an amendment 70 the adminIstra-
tion's plank before 1t could be adopted so
delayed the work Of the platform COM
mittee that thereis little likelihood the
delegates VIII get down TO balloting before
tomorrow.
The platform committee worked until
nc1rlv davlight TIM morning over the
league plank and then sought few
hours rest before resuming deliberations.
Members of the committee expressed
the hope they wrnld be able 70 make a
report 70 the convention late today. but
as a fight il in prospect in the committee
on the prohibition and Irish questions
with another battle on the floor OF the
convention over these plsnks and the
league of nations, leaders in control Of the
convention have stopped figuring as 70
when the first ballot win be taken. Voting
for President will not begin until the
platform has been adopted.

SOME CHANGES IN
FREIGHT EMBARGOES
Though the General Railroad Sit
uation is About the Same as
Yesterday.

An embargo was laid by the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad this morning on all west
bound freight IN shipments of carload
or less This is the first cuTtallment OF
local freight that the railroad has made.
1t was found necessary because freight
for local shipments. which has been ae-
eepted throughout the recent strike
difficulty has been piling up IN the yards
faster than il could be handled, and It
was feared that unless opportunity was
gwen to clear away the accumulation the
yards might become seriously congested.
Ii is admitted that there ere shortages In
some of the crews. Other embargoes on
the road were in changed since Yesterday.
On the Pennsylvania the situetlon Is
tightening, bit by bit. In addition TO the
removal of the outbound embargo on
Baltimore, thennbound embargo for grain
was removed late yesterday. The freight
situation at other points continues I'M
changed. The working force is practically
normal, it was stated. although the short
age of four crews IN the Baltimore yards
will probably not be madeupfor some time,
Philadelphio is said TO be gradually inn
proving.
Embargoes on the Philadelphia 4
Reading remained unchanged, according
TO the official reports OF the local Offices
A New York paper published last evening
q report that the emhs rgo on the New
York division had been lifted yesterday.
but local officials, though they were anxious
to receive word of any such change, had not
been officially notified this morning. The
embargoes remain on scsttered points
along the line and on certain connections.
The strike situation on the Philadelphia
& Reading also continues unchanged In
Reading, which has beer o particularly
active center of the strike, a situation
approaching deadlock has been reached.
The company's announced intension of
refusing to take the men back II they did
not return within astated time limit
to have little effect there. and the yards
are very short-handed, the old men re-
naming out and new ones to take their
places being apparently not available.
The most hopeful feature of the freight
congestion at present is that the coming
of the independence Day holiday will
bring slackening Of business. This, the
railroads hope, will enable them to clear
away the existing congestion and catch
their breath sufficiently TO handle new
business when the holiday slump is over.

RALPH MUSTARD,
TAX|CAb DRIVER,
NEARLY KILLED
Believed to Have Been Attacked
by Two Fares He Was TAX
ing TO Chester.
SUSPECTS UNDER ARE ST

A stern reminder Of the Lacey murder
occurred last night when an atrocious
assault was committed upon Ralph
Mustard, driver for the ! X l. Taxi Co. +,
early this morning on the Philadelphia
pike, near the Mt. Pleasant school house
Within two hours Charles O'Neill and
John Bowers both Of Wilmington, were
taken into custody and charged with
assault with intent to commit murder.
The arrest OF the two men was n clever
piece of work on the part Of the police
assigned TO the case, Detective James G..
Riley mad Special Officer John McAteer.
As Mustard is at the Delaware Hos
pita1, the case was continued in Municipal
Court, today, until tomorrow, and the
two men were held under 81 800 bail
each.
The weapon alleged 10 have been used
in the assault on Mustard was an iron
coupling pin, about IA inches long, nearly
two inches in diameter and weighing
eight pounds. II is held by the police
and was found in the abandoned taxiesb
by State Highway Officer Joseph McVey
Shortly before midnight ONeill and
Bowers, it is reported, visited the Annex
Hotel, on East Fourth street, and one Of
them asked tho proprietor TO telephone
for taxi cab. This was done. Bowers is
alleged TO have made the request, while
0Neill is said to have waited outside
on the street.
INTERESTED m THE CAR.
Mustard arrived in short time and
Bowe sat down alongside the driver, the
police were told, while O'Neill took 9
back sat. One of the men then questioned
Mustard and asked what the make Of the
car was. Mustard replied that it was q
Chandler. Then inquiry was made as "a
what style the gear shift was. When the
reply Standard was given, one of The
mep Is alleged 20 have said that's fine,
and to have slapped Mustard on the back
by way of emphasis.
Driving west on Fourth street Mustard
inquired as to tho destination and one
Of the men answered I'm the 100 block
Chester" AT first, Mustard was suspicious
about the trip and thought he would
summon a friend To make tho trip with
him. He changed his mind, however, and

Last night it looked very much as
though both these things may come to
pass. The trend of the past two days
has been decidedly towards McAdoo,
and Yesterdays demonstrations in the
convention hall showed him to be IN favor
with majority Of the spectators, and
probably OF a majority of the delegates
also, although the latter could not be
accurately determined.
But these demonstrations, noisy, spec
tacular, and full of thrills, also sent chills

LACK LEG AND
ANTHRAX APPEAR ON
DELAWARE FARMS
Former Disease Has Developed
Near Newark and Latter
Near Milford.
STATE VETERINARIAN
is INVESTIGATING

Anthrax and Black Leg-annoying
diseases among stock--have developed on
Delaware farms, the former near Milford
and the latter near Newark.
Eight or ten sheep on the farm OF Ira
Sharp, about II miles from Milford, have
died of anthrax. The diagnosis has been
conformed by an investigation made, at
the instance of State Veterinarian Charles
|. Hoch, by the II. X. Mulford 20. oil
Pennsylvania.
Two Young cattle have died on the
farm of George Ragan, about three miles
from Newark The matter was FIRST re-
ported to DIR. Maclie, who IN turn reported
II TO the State veterinarian. The afiietion
in that case was found, according to an
ANALYSIS made &C Delaware College, TO be
Black Leg.
DIR. Hoch has taken immediate action in
both cases and he has arranged TO have o
thorough vaccinati n made today on both
farms. This is without expense TO the
owners Of the animals, as the State gives
the service free.
So far as is known, neither disease has
hown any sign of spreading from the
farm on which it originated, but the
authorities are taking no chances and
they are going TO make thorough inves-
tigation in each neighborhood. ANY sts-
peeted cases should be reported at once TO
State Veterinarian Hoch, who has his
office at 904 Jackson street, Wilmington.
The State Livestock Sanitary Board. Of
which the veterinarian Is q member, holds
meeting in Dover today to take such
action as is warranted as a result Of recent
legislation and also TO select the VIRUS that
is TO b. used, the State having made an
appropriation in that behalf. Alden K.
