Sandy Hook, N. j., July l7.-Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenger Shamrock
", and the American cup defender,
Resolute, found nothing more than a
cupful of wind and fiat sea in which
to engage on the second race of the
Americas sup match when they towel
out to the starting line at Ambrose
Lightship just before noon.
The yachts sloshed and wallowed in
the ground swell and their sails tapped
lifelessly in the dead air. The regatta
committee signalled postponement Of
the race until later in the day at l5-
minute intervals.
No signs of wind were observed in
any quarter. and even should staIt
be made in the triangular race the
shippers who have handled coastwise
ships along these shores declared that
no finish could be made within the time
limit of six hours given for any con
test.

Virginia Democrats Debate
On Lnstructing Delegates

tions or no instructions. Governor
Davis is known to be in favor Of in
structing the delegation.
Equal uncertainty exists as to
other questions likely to come be-
fore the convention. There are
those who want the prohibition
question considered, some county
conventions declaring for the repeal
OF the Volstead act and others for
its strict enforcement. but in the
great majority of cases the Ques-
ton has not been agitated- In
Chesterfield resolutions were adopt
ed declaring against any action at
the State convention and it is this
position, it is believed. that will be
assumed by most of the leaders.
Women will address the conven-
ton for the first time. Four years
ago when Mrs. B. B.. Valentine,
president of the Equal Suffrage
League of Virginia. asked permis-
sion to talk objections were so
strenuous that she was not per-
mitted to take the platform. Con-
ditions are different this year.
There is even talk of sending a
woman as honorary delegate to
the San Francisco convention.
The convention opens Wednesday.
May 1s and may be adjourned the
same day.

SUPREME COURT
CALLED TOO OLD

Decisions Of the United States
Supreme Court in the steel case and
other suits brought under the anti
trust laws were attacked by Repre-
sentative Welty, Democrat, of Ohio,
in the House yesterday.
Such decisions, he declared, nullify
the spirit of the laws enacted by
Congress. Advanced ages of the
judges and service too long out OF
touch with the people, ne said, are
responsible for the condition. The
remedy, in his opinion. is a Consti-
tutional amendment providing fol
the appointment of all Fedora.

for a term Of years instead of for
life.
Mr.. welty has pending before the
Judiciary Committee a resolution
providing for the submission of such
an amendment to the States. He
has been promised a hearing next

Especial to The Washington Herald)
Danville, Va, May 5.-Rapid prog
ress is being made on what en-
gineers say will be the largest con-
crete cotton mill in the United
States, which IS now being con-
structed for the Dan River Mills.
The structure measuring $40 feet
by 140 feet will be three stories
high and will embrace seventeen
acres of floor space when it is COM
pleted. Nearly 5000 carloads of ma
terial will be required to build and
40,00Oyards of concrete will be
poured.
The labor situation has proveo
the most serious obstacle thus far,
the small army of workmen, $50 in
all. being a magnet for Northern
labor agents who, It is charged, have
made raids on the works and in
duced many to leave.
To offset this, Italian laborers are
being brought in by the contracting
firm.
The mill. which will represent an
investment of s1,5Oo,000, is being
built on a cost plus" basis and will
be finished by October. In order to
join this mill. which virtually covers
an island in the river Dan, a bridge
has been built, joining the new mill
with another group on the north
bank of the stream.

Attack U. s. Government.
B6ttomley's particular brand OF
anti-Americanism kas been Illus
trated to American readers recent
ly by lengthy quotations from his
venomous TRADES against the Amer

The first woman member of Par

tack by saying publicly, II know
that my advocacy of temperance
is stirring the bitterest antagonisms,
and that I have to fight for my
future political existence"

the intrigues o. the. beer end whis-

largely of a personal character. He
opened with the charge that Lady
