In that event there appears to De little, doubt that McAdoo will be put forward to break the blockade with the assurance of considerable strength at the start. His friends are said to have put their heads together to formulate plans of this nature and map out strategy of the subsequent campaign to obtain for him the two- thirds majority on which Dem ocratic nominations must rest.
 On the prohibition enforcement question, heretofore the most promi- nent subject of discussion in conven- tion circles. there has developed a sudden movement to ignore the ques- tion entirely in the platform. Sugges- tions of this nature come to Chair man Cummings of the National com mittee from camps representing. vari- ous shades of opinion ranging from bone dry to almost as completely wet.
 These feelers toward a harmony program were not clear enough, how ever, to show that all parties to the contest had arrived at the conclusion that such a course would be wise.
 While it was possible that the Vir- ginia Democrats had followed the course of silence on the Volstead en- forcement act in framing the plat form which President Wilson has ap- proved, which might indicate the ad- ministrationl attitude, it was suggest ed much depends on the course w. J. Bryan plans to follow on his arrival here today. He is credited with hav- ing determined to carry the war into the enemy's country in meeting the wet drive at the platform which be- gan more than a week ago and offer an enphatics csbone dry declaration on his account
 The movement for platform silence on the enforcement measure is said to have sprung in part from consid- eration of this report as to the Ne braskan's plans. Some at least of its advocates are said to desire now tc head off a vote on such a bone dry program as a matter of expediency If the issue were forced to a conclu- sion on Sthe platform struggle, these straegists argued, It might be more prejudicial to their hopes for modi- fication of the Vo1stead act than bene- ficial, while complete silence would leave party representatives in con gress free to act.

 The wind had died away somewhat before the junior varsity eights got the starting signal at 11:34 a. m. with sun breaking through the grey clouds.
 The start of the second race was similar to the opening event Both strokes hit up a stroke we'll into the pfow of the Harvard shell showed in front.
 Then, the drive of the Yale blades began to count and slowly the Blue craft slid to the front, never to be headed. At the half mile flags, the Eli shell was leading by a third of a length and at the end of the first mile had increased the distance to a scant half length.
 Here Harvard made its bid for n even break in the forenoon races and by sustained spurt forced the Crimson bow alrn nost to even terms with the speeding Ellis. The Yale juniors quickly scented the danger. With additional heave and beat the Blue shell forged to the fore and with their rivals fast tiring under the strain of their previous efforts, the result of the contest was quickly de- cided in the final half mile.

 ON DEAD MAN

While Sheriff Oscar Dannenberg is not a spiritualist and does not claim to be able to communicate with the dead he made return on the papers in the action of John Ferenz and wife against Frank and Mary Kolsar that he made service of the papers in the case by leaving a copy for each of the defendants at their usual place of abode, although Frank had been dead for some time before the papers were served.
 To procure a default judgment, when the parties did not appear, a neighbor made an affidavit that Frank was not in the military or naval ser vice of the United States and judg- ment was accordingly entered against both defendants.
 Attorney Fred Fallon appeared in court this morning and had Franks name stricken from the case so that the judgment could be enforced against Mary.

Third Bomb Thrown I'm Waterbury
 Trouble.

Waterbury, Conn, June 25.---An at tempt to kill several persons who have persisted in working while there has been strike in the brass mills here was made with a bomb early to- day. This was the third bomb explo- sion during the labor troubles, and the effects were more startling than those which preceded it. No one was injured, however.
 The missile was hurled through a rear cellar window of 231-2 Railroad Hill street in which house lives Albino Bibas, his wife and child daughter and four fellow Portuguese as boarders. All five men have re- fused to stop work in the Benedict and Burnham branch of the American Brass company, and while, according to BIbas. they knew they had the ill., will of acquaintances who are strikers they had not been directly threatened.
 The bomb exploded with terrific force and noise. It rocked the houses in the neighborhood. Its force tore out the side of the two and a half story wooden structure. ripped up the floors, blew out the windows and de- molished a corner of roof.
 Over the cellar window was the chamber of Bibas, and on the second floor the four boarders were asleep.
 
 was topsy turvy and the sleepers all most thrown to the floor, not one had a bruise. All the men returned to work at the usual hour.
 Fire followed the explosion which the department quickly controlled. For a minute or two there was a complete Hull after the explosion and then the inmates of the many houses in the neighborhood rushed out into the streets. Many thought their own homes had been bombed. James Dwyer, who owns the house Bibas oc- cupied and who lives two houses away, said he was certain that the bomb was exploded in his own house scene and the men did their best to quiet the excitement. Children cried, women were frantic and men rushed about wildly for a short time Until daylight there was much con- fusion as persons from all over the city rushed to the irnme mediate sec ton.
 The extent of the explosion and its exact location was not known to the maority of persons whereabouts unti daylight came. The telephone office was overwhelmed with calls of in quiry for the noise had been heard or the shock felt in remote parts o1 the city.
 The inmates of the Bibas home were less concerned than many o1 their neighbors. They told their story to an officer who speaks Portuguese and declared that they had no warn ing of intent to do harm although they knew many of their acquaint. ances had remonstrated with then against working.

SCORES DOUBLE !. VICTORY ON THAMES

Regatta Course, New London, June 25-Yale crews scored a double vic tory on the Thames river course this morning in the preliminary races of the Sand dual regatta with Harvard.
 The Blue blades of the Eli oarsm en swept the Ya.e shells across the finish line of both the freshmen and junior varsity two-nlile races well ahead their crimson rivals.
 The Yale adherents, as a result were predicting a clean sweep by a third victory in the four mile varsity contest scheduled for late this after noon.
 The winning of the New Haven college crews. while decisive in each race, was not achieved without a bitter struggle, for in both races the Harvard eights jumped into the lead at the start and fought ganaely to maintain their advantage until the contests had progressed well toward the finish flags. It was in the final stretches of the races that the super for power and rowing form of the Yale oarsmen began to count and once to the fore with finish flags in sight the Eli eights rowed rapidly to victory.
 Weather and water conditions were extremely favorable for fast time and the shells swept down the Thames under the power of the sturdy sweep swingers and wind and tide at exceptional pace. These con- ditions were reflected in the times, Yale winning the freshman contest by about a length in 10:33 3-5, while the Cambridge crew trailed home in 1o:o6. In the junior varsity Yale's margin was close to length and 9 half with the official times announce ed as Yale 10 min. 3-5 sec; liar yard 1o min. 10 sec.
 The waters of the Thames were flowing at a speedy pace toward the ocean when the freshman crews took their places at the starting flags at Bartlett's Cove a few minutes after the scheduled hour for the start. At 1e:56 a. m. Referee Meikelham shouted the command to go and liar yards yearl1ngs caught the water first with a forty-four stroke. Yale was a beat slower. In choppy water and under a cloudy sky the racing craft fairly leaped down river. Both eights were rowing a 36 beat at the half mile with Harvard leading by a scant quarter length. At the mile the positions were relatively the same In the final mile Harvard enideavored to

GIRL NARROWLY
 ESCAPES DEATH

Helen O'Hara, 13 years old. of 503 William street. had a, narrow escape from being trampled to death by two horses this morning when she was knocked to the pavement at the corner of Congress and Middle streets about 11:3O o'clock by one of the ice wagons of the Sprague Ice & Coal Company.
 According to a motorman who wit messed the accident the little girl was crossing the street and did not see the ice wagon until it was almost on top of her. She tried to dodge to safety and in so doing slipped and fell under the hoofs of the horses. The wheels of the wagon did not touch her or she would have been crushed to death. The driver of the wagon did not stop after hitting the girl. The motorman said the num- Der of the wagon was 34.
 The ambulance was called but out side of abrasions of the arms and face Dr. Burns found the little girl uninjured. She was taken to her home.

That the orders of the courts are made to be obeyed and must be obey ed was very forcibly conveyed to Err win M Jennings and his attorneys. Frederick Morgan and John Chap man, by Judge Frank D. Haines, in the Superior Court today.
 The judge fined Jennings $10O and costs and ordered that he be com nitted until the fine was paid. On motion of Attorney Morgan the exe- cution was stayed one week.
 At the opening of the case in an swer to the query of Judge Haines if he had anything to say, Jennings said ''I har no intention to show any dis respect to the Court. I was advised that the attorney for Carpenter had made a mistake in making me de- Eendant and not the Jennings Co.,, and I did not know until the papers were served on me that the work was being done."
 Judge Haynes said: It Is for the court to enforce it's orders. The court is authorized to issue injunc- tions to stop work until the rights of the parties are determined. These court mandates must be respected and observed. This injunction properly interposed to prevent the installation of the gas tank. The rights of the parties could only be determined by a hearing The plaintiff gave a bond of $2,000 to meet any damages that Jennings might sustain.
 Jennings against whom this order was issued was one of the principal owners of the Jennings Company. He owned 75 per cent. of the stock. He said in open court that he could

|, have stopped the work. He was serv- ed with the injunction at Il o'clock in the morning some time before the tank was placed in the ground. He was served at his office a short dis tance from where the work was bein g done. Instead of otbeying the order of the court he sought counsel. He sent the injunction papers to his counsel. His purpose was to ascertain whether or
 not he was to stop the work and obey the court. The only opinion that the' court can
 reach is that he did not want to obey
 the order If he could do so he wished
 to disobey the mandate. Though
 counsel told the court that they did advise him to pay no attention to 1t. It is difficult for the court to believe tha reputable counsel would advise their client to do any act that would cir ] cumvent the orders of the court Jennings knew or could have known that the work was being done.
 He was on the spot a short time after he had been served. The Court be-
 lieves that it was a deliberate at
 tempt to disobey the order of the Court.
 The Courts have the. power to en- force their orders. This may be done by fine and imprisonment.
 It may be that Jennings and his
 counsel did not appreciate the seri-
 ousness of the offence.
 Counsel though officers of the
 Court, are not excused from obeyins
 it's orders. An express willingness to remove the tank may justify the Court in making the penalty a fine.
