and the question OF the presidency
will be taken up by the cabinet Fri

communicate issued this evening.
Paris, Sept. 15.-Alexandre Mil
lerand. French premier and foreign
minister. is prominent mentioned
as the next president OF the French
republic, should President Des-
chanel resignb ecause of i'll health,
says the Figaro. Some of M. Mil
lerand's friends declare he will re-
fuse to become a candidate, but,
nevertheless, there is tendency to
believe he may be induced to ac-
cept. if the office is offered him
unanimously.
Others Mentioned.
Should he refuse to become a
candidate, others mentioned in
clude Charles, G. A. Jonnart. extra
ordinary ambassador to the vati-
can: Raoul Peret, president Of the
chamber of deputies; Leon Bour-
geois. president Of the senate; Alex
andre f. Ribot, former premier:
Jules Jams, former minister Of in
terror and Georges Leygues. former
minister of marine.
Premier Millerand had a long in

day with Minister of Interior Steeg.
whose department would arrange
for the election of a new president
IL the incumbent should resign.
The premier will return to Paris
on Thursday, and the cabinet will
meet Friday morning, at which. it
is reported, the situation will be
discussed. If definite decision Is
reached there will be another meet
ing soon after. So
Deschancl Little Better.
Notwithstanding his long rest
and treatment by specialists, the
Gigaro declares President Descna-
mel is unable fully to discharge the
duties of his office and 1t is said
he, himself, feels he can no longer
continue to discharge his duties.
While regretting the probable de-
parture Of President Deschanel
from public life,f Paris newspapers
generally agree that the present un
certain situation cannot continue
and they see little hope of his re-
covery. Some even declare it has
become worse.

BUILDING INDUSTRY
 BADLY CRIPPLED BY
 ORDER, SAYS CALDER
By Associated Press


 New York. June 29.-Declaring the railroads have placed virtual embargo on the transportation of building ma terials by virtue of recent car service orders, Senator William M Calder, chairman of the Senate special com mittee on reconstruction and produce tion today appealed to the interstate commerce commission for a hearing to permit the building industry to present it's case.
 Senator Calder said he had evidence from leading building material manu- lecturers that there now is sufficient material at the several plants to meet all present requirements of the indus try. The lack of railroad cars. he ex- plained. has reduced the shipment of material 66 2-3 per cent. making the housing situation in New York city and throughout the country increas- ingly serious.

 COMPANY ENDOWED

Photographic dispatches received by the Corona Coal Company last night from Phillippi, w. Va, state that the coal operators of the Fairinont Coal Com pany of that place have secured an in- punction similar to the one secured by the Corona Company recently against the Southern railroad
 This injunction which the Fairlnont Coal Company secured against the Bal timore and Ohio railroad, forbids the as- signemt of coal cars by the railroad.
 A similar injunction was received by the Corona Company recently against the Southern railroad This injunction for bids the railroads from placing the cars at it's own pleasure.

The band and pipe organ filled in the time and the song leaders got into &C., ton to amuse the gathering crowd.
 Popular airs sprinkled with patriotic airs and invariably winding up with Dixie" never failed to bring out the inevitable rebel yell from the southern delegates. The platform, too. was slow in filling with the usual notables.
 Fifteen minutes more and the con vention gave no more signs of being ready to start up. Delegates damned the aisles, chatting and laughing and applauding the efforts of the singers and the musicians. Today's session was expected to be time killer, any way, and no effort was made to drive things ahead. The convention man. agers wanted plenty of time for the committee workers. There were scat tering yells for Palmer and Cox from various corners, where rooters got into positions, loaded with pennants and flags.
 The probabilities of a fight over the report of the credentials committee, which had voted not to seat Senator Reed as delegate from Missouri di- unfinished with reports that Reed would rot carry his fight to the floor of the convention The Reed case was the only ripple in sight on the smooth waters of the convention. and his de- cision not to carry the contest further robbed the day of it's only prospect of ez citement.
 One-thirty passed and most of the delegates had arrived and were stand ing in their places waiting for the con vention officials to sound the call to order.
 Either the band had orders to play Dixie" loud. long and often, or else if fell back on the air when 1t ex- hausted all others, because 1t seemed to he playing Dixie most of the time The southern delegates, however showed no signs of wearing out and never failed to cut loose when they leard the strains.
 CUMMINGS GETS ORDER
 vigorous whacking of the gavel brought the delegates down to theiI seats and gradually cleared the aisles MT. Cummings was determined to ge order quickly and succeeded.
 T present greetings to the unterri- fled democracy of America" said MT Cummings as soon as he could bt heard.
 Bishop L. W. Leonard of the Method ist Episcopal Church of San Francisco offered the prayer.
 The singing of tho "Star-Spanglet Banner followed the prayer, and the big auditorium joined in heartily.
 Secretary Hoffman announced tha the convention had 8 special hospital i, the building with physicians anc rerses for any emergency.
 "Do they write prescrfptfonsr in. auired a delegate from the floor amid q gale of laughter.
 'Its a regular hospital" responded Secretary Hoffman to scattering ap- plause.
 Then ono of the secretaries an nounced that a million dollars of Cali fornia gold was on exhibition near the hall for the delegates to go and look at
 Look out the republicans don't get it." shouted a delegate. and the con vention had another laugh.
 The report of the credentials com mittee affirming the seating of the Palmer delegates from Georgia and the unseating of Senator Reed then was presented

 DAVIS MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
 Other blooms continue to rise and fall
 with the uneaSiness characteristic of the tides of the sea or an eastern stomach full of native California oysters At the moment of filing this dispatch. MT Davis, the mysterious stranger, is commanding
 some considerable attention Up until now he has been kept privately by the vest <rViriSnia delegation. There is a
 feeling that it woudl be well to nominate
 him first and then appoint committee to find out who he is This appears to be
 great year for clandestine, not to say
 surreptitious candidates. Should Mr.
 Elmer J. Davis be nominated or is the
 first name Jasper-I foresee stirring scenes in the convention hall with the
 delegates joyously uprooting the state standards and parading about floor cry ing in mighty chorous Who? Who?" it may turn out to be the most unbridled demonstration--or should l say iaterroga-
 tion?-in the annuals of the party. sf
 Some excitement was occasioned this morning before the convention convened by a report that Barney Baruch was due in on his private car, Lohengrin, pro-
 nounced long green. This is a great
 convention those short accommodations. For example, after hear
 ing MT. Homer s. Cummings keynote speech on the Monday the temptation to call "Humoresque Cummings became well night overpowerng.
 PLUTOCRATS UNPOPULAR
 But MT Baruch did not materialze. In a republican convention a plutocrat is just as welcome as the flowers in May, or even more so, provided he'll stand for
 being plucked freely but among the democrats he must do his plucking in a very soft and low manner or else the
 masses begin to talk about financial pollu- tion of the stream of patriotism l It is very difficult for Leader Charles r. Murphy to convince a fellow democrat from Weeping Willow, Nebraska, that | some of the cleverest fellows on earth have their offices down Wall Street The only difference the latter can see between the late Jesse James and one of the Wall Street guys IS that Jesse rode
 horse.
 Possibly this explains why we have not been favored with the presence of
 Mir Baruch. Another theory is that he | Van Wiggnton V. State, from Limestone circuit court; reversed and remandei. Merritt, J. Alfred Smith V. State, from
