 RAILWAY TRAFFIC
By AssocIatsd Press

Dublin, June 2S.-The Sim Feners are preparing for a possible stoppage of all railway traffic and arranging to com mandeer motor cars, organize a food transport system and institute regular food control. Up to the present, the trains are running regularly, except when police, soldiers or munitions are known to be aboard. At a meeting of the cor poration of Dublin today the labor mem bers, who had the general approval of the other members, declared that the railway men would remain steadfast in refusing to operate trains carrying muni- tons or soldiers.

AMIDON IS FLOOR LEADER

The McAdoo people today agreed upon Sam B. Amidon, Wichita, Kan, as their floor leader, and at the same time be- gan picking out,a representative on each
 of the state delegations. His selection was
 made at conference of McAdoo sup porters, who described themselves ~ as bitter enders.''
 Cone Johnson of Texas, former solici- tor of the state department; Representa- tive Whaley of South Carolina and Mrs. Peter Clesen of Minnesota. were among the assistants selected for Amidon. Most McAdoo boomers are saying they dc not expect any support from the Tam many delegation of New York unless 1t becomes apparent that the former secre- tary will be nominated. Talk of Secre- tary Meredith for second place as Mir.
 McAdoo's running mate continued in the convention gossip.

FOUR PLAGUE CASES
 REPORTED LAST WEEK
By Associated Press

Vera Cruz, June 2s.-During the last week only four cases of bubonic plague have been reported here. There are eight cases at present in the hospital here. Of those previously afflicted with the disease, four have died and two have recovered.
 The navigation companies, both Euro pean and American, have decided to re- new their services to this port in view of the fact that the epidemic appears completely under control
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-29

He allowed that while the boys from Fourteenth street, New York, and vii cinity would be constructively for Al Smith, they would be ready 10 leap lightly into the Cox camp whenever their votes were wanted.
 So MT. Murphy. cooperating with Norman Mack of Buffalo and other grave and reverened counselers, made all the necessary arrangements to sup port the Ohioan. ~
 And then. without the slightest warning, in dropped one of the Cox men and told MT. Murphy that Cox was not nearly as i-prohibition as he was painted-that, in fact, he would be preferably willing to run on a dry platform.
 MT Murphy. who Is considerably more than an eagles talon about the waist, gasped. And he doesn't gasp easily. The noise of his gasping was heard in several adjoining rooms and a number of his attendants hastened in to see what was the matter.
 They soon found out Mir. Murphy was in a state of nervous fury. He felt that his confidence had been betrayed that his efforts had been wasted, that altogether he had been foully dealt with.
 And when. along with the rest of the delegates. he went into convention to- day to listen to Homer Cummings sound the keynote of the campaign. he had already begun the formulation of new arrangements.
 From now on until MT. Murphy can find a candidate to his liking his fol- lowers will stick firmly to Al Smith In the balloting.
 Meanwhile MT. Murphy will seek out a man who is positively and unquali- fiedly and emphaticalfy wet, and who will insist on a plank that is equal ly so.
 MT ,.Irphy is a democrat all right and would like to see democrat in the White House.
 But he is also boss of Tammany Hall, and wants to win for that organization just as many offices as he possibly can. And he firmly believes that any candidate who has the least taint of rrohibition on him not only will lose in the nation. but will drag the New York state and judicial ticket down with him.
 MT. Murphy has seen too many state and judicial tickets dragged down to care for that sort of thing. Which is why he is off Cox. and will doubtless remain off of him.
 The Murphy defection has. of course, heartened some of the other candi- dates, and there is a great deal of Me- Adoo talk around today. But there is not enough of 1t yet. And too oh of 1t is done By delegates who will have nothing whatever to say in the final decision.
 It would be foolish to prophecy that Murphy will support no candidate who is dry, but he will not do so unless he absolutely has to. The shock he suf- fered when he discovered that Cox was not as guaranteed has left him pretty limp. But he will get going again be- fore the end of the week. And inas- much as he has practically the whole New York delegation in his vest pocket. what he does will make diff ference.
 As for the Cox people, they are now insisting that Cox is just as liberal as he ever was and that doesn't help matter much for every time they try to placate Murphy they infuriate Bryan. And that is the reason that you will read in the news chronicles of the papers today that the outstanding features of the conventions opening is the dropping and whitening of the once highly promising Cox boom.

 MT. Cummings began in a quiet voice. A few shouts of 'louder" came from far back in the hall, but he had not pro- ceeded far before tfse great throng was so still that every syllable was carried to the highest galleries. It was a long speech MT Cummings suggested tha, to his hearers, but cries of "Go on," Take your time' met him. He drove his points home hard and his audience was alert to capture them with shouted approval

There was lively scrimmage. akin to a center rush in a football game in which fists were flying and there seemed Ganger of bloody noses. A policeman who interferred got a pummeling. One man had his coat dragged off and several men lost their nose glasses. No one was hurt. the protesting dele gates changed their mind and Roose- welt triumphantly marched off with the New York standard to join the Wilson demonstration. A shout of added intensity marked the delegates recognition of the incident and cheer for Roosevelt was all but lost in the general tumult.
 It was long before order could be re- stored. Even when Vice Chairman Kremer had launched upon his speech echoes of the storm still lurked in the air. He was repeatedly interrupted by the Ciamor of approval that greeted ev- cry thrust at the republican party or at any reference to President Wilson.

The Carroll Herald Is not for Mr..

contrary. The Times Republican is

so far as protsrring another man over

sumed that the attorney general
would object to any mans vote, were
he as black as the ace Of spades. But
he has made a distinction in his bus

II Is a legitimate business distinc-
ton whatever may be said Of its etht-
cal and chronological aspects. It does
not prove that Havner or another
who should write such a provision
into his deeds is an enemy to the COL

viewpoint II Is more just to assume
that he wants to sell his lots at the

HOW THE PRICES HOLD.

That the general level OF whole

policy Of purchasing mainly for i'm
mediate and well-6adned needs,
which no longer appears only in the
cast, is partly the result Of u7ccr-
tsinty regarding domestic and for

more largely a reflection of buyers

continued recovery IN sterling ex-
change, which crossed 81 last week
exports have become more promis-

The rise Of the general commodity
price level, as shown by Dun's Index
Number. to a new high record on
April came after a slight recession
OF month previous. Whereas Feb
ruary had brought price yielding in
various quarters. the following
month was featured by augmented
strength in some important markets,
and the present index number figure
of s257.s01 represents an advance Of
a little less than 20 per cent over the
March l total. and Is Is per cent
above the former top point Of
S253.74s of February /. With a sharp
upturn in the price Of corn, and a
similar movement in some other ce-
reals, breadstuffs disclose the widest
alteration, being SIS per cent high
er on April l than month earlier,
and increases also appear in the
meat, other food, clothing, metals,
and miscellaneous classes. The dairy
and garden group, in fact, alone
show a decrease, and the decline IS
only moderate.
