HARD COAL men

Scranton. Pa, juno 29.-Argu-
ments on the admission in evidence
Of charges Of profiteering and
monopolistic control made against
the hard coal operators, were
heard today by the anthracite mine
commission. named by President
Wilson to adjust the differences be-
tween the operators and the mine
workers.
The charges are contained in :
brief submitted yesterday by w.

Operators declared profits, cost

RULES COMMITTEE MOVES TO
CUT teeth OF STATE UNITS

placing all states under the unit
rule. except those In which there is
q mandatory statute providing for
the nomination and election Of del
egations in congressional districts.
There is such law in New York
and the delegates from several OF
the districts are contending for the
right to act independently Of the
delegation as a body.
Both sides of the controversy
were heard and the intention is to
fight the question before presenting
. report to the convention.
Many Favor Unit Rule,
Six to = dozen district delegates
from New York take the position
that they should not be bound by
the unit rule.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary Of the navy, spoke for 4
resolution which provided for the
revival OF the, rule OF 1912 which
relieved district delegates from

laws made mandatory separate
elections by the districts.

Will LSONIANS STRENGTHEN LINES
BY WINNING VITAL CREDENT|AL
POINTS over REED and PALMER

San Francisco, June 29.-Admin-
istration supporters strengthened
their hold on the Democratic ma
tional convention through series
of victories in the credentials COM
mittee, which decided three hotly
fought contests. One Of these was
the denial of a seat in the conven-
ton to Senator James A. Reed Of
Missouri. The Clark-Howell dele
gate in Georgia. pledged to Attor-
ney General Palmer, also were
seated. Both actions were in ac-
cord with previous decisions of the
national committee.
The credentials committee, how
ever, overruled the national COM
mittee in the Oregon case, where it
seated r. r. Turner and John l..
Schuyleman, giving each one half
a vote. Turner, who was selected
by the Oregon state convention to
fill q vacancy caused by the death
Of George T. Baldwin, who was
forced to yield half of his vote to
Schuyleman, is described as q
strong administration supporter.
Schuyleman claimed the seat on the
ground that he was the next high
ct man in the primary, having been
fifth in the race for the four places.
Contests Bitter.
All three contests were long
drawn out and we're marked by
acrimonious statements and bitter
personal attacks. Chairman jamie
son Of Iowa, maintained order with
dif1iculty. But the administration
group reigned when the voting
came on each OF the contests.
There was no indication from the
Reed forces as to their next move.
The senator was not at the hear
ing. Francis w. Wilson, counsel.
said the senator's wishes would be
consulted before further action was
considered. He reminded the COM
mfttee the fight was being made
entirely by the delegation from the
Kansas City district, and that tie

senator "never has and doesn't
make demonstration for the
seat"
Opening the argument for Sena-
tor Reed, F. M. Wilson, United
States district attorney of Kansas
City, told the committee that he
felt there would be "a damnable
injustice done to Missouri democ-
racy" should the senator be denied
a place. He declared it was 'im-
|perative that the action of the
Fifth Missouri district convention
be respected with or without the
vote which this district delivers TO
the party.
Implicit Faith in Reed.
missouri and perhaps the ma
tion, cannot be catalogued Demo-
cratic"
IF I thought for one moment"
he continued, "that this delegate
would go on the floor Of the con-
vention and denounce the national
administration or bolt the conven-
ton, I would not be here"
Statements of similar nature
were made by e. P. Rosenberger,
a Ninth Missouri district delegate,
who asserted that Reed never had
been a candidate and was not now
asking the place, but that the Fifth
district was seeking seat for him
and should not be disenfranchised.
Countering the arguments made
by the Reed supporters, Edward A,
Goltrai, Missouri national commit
teeman, said he was operating
against the senator because that
great state had spoken and 1t was
weary of Senator Reeds present
tactics"
He declared that on two occa-
sions, the district delegation was
asked in the state meeting whether
it would not suggest another dele
gate and in both cases. according
to Goltrai, the reply was:
well have none at all il We
J cannot have Jim Reed"

San Francisco, June 29.-Admin-
istration forces went into the Sec
ond day Of the Democratic national
convention apparently in full con-
troll of the situation. Senator
Glass OF Virginia, as chairman Of
the resolutions committee, William
]. Bryan excluded from the sub
committee Of nine chosen actually tot
draft the platform, while Bratn- I
bridge Colby. secretary OF state. I
sits as the representative Of Pres
ident Wilson; Senator Joseph 7.
Robinson Of Arkansas, another
staunch administration supporter
chosen for permanent chairman q I
the convention and administration I
men at the head Of other commit
tees, was the lineup brought out
of what had promised to be . COM
test.
The threatened anti-administra- /
ton fight, so far as It related 70 I
the organization Of the convention |
machinery, collapsed without a
showing.
Clear Way for Speeches. -
At the same time. the committee
formulating the rules for the con-
vention has cleared the way for
the nominating speeches to be de-
livered while the resolutions COM
mittee is working on the platform.
BY unanimous action It decided that
the various candidates may bet
placed III nomination while tho
platform deliberations are going
on, but no balloting for a nominee,
may be conducted until after tho
platform has been brought In, per-
fected and adopted. This action
will simplify and hasten the work.
Of the convention very much.
From the dramatic moment yes
terday when q portrait Of President
Wilson was unveiled in the conven-
tion auditorium to let loose storm
of tribute and appreciation from
party fellows on the floor. there
seemed little chance for those who
had set themselves in opposition. .
True Hearts AflAme.
The demonstration had fairly
lifted the convention to its feet and
set it marching through the isles
roaring and shouting. 1t was.
borne in part of solemn patriotic
fervor that had preceded 1t and
which had sent the rolling tones
I of the Star Spangled Banner"
soaring into the rafters of the mas
sive building, with volume thatl
spoke Of high feeling.
The setting was almost beyondt
description. The majestic propor-f
tions of the building, the peal OF.
the great pipe organ flooded thet
space with music, the clash andj
stir of the military band. the vivid
wall of color where a great aagj
swept from the ceiling to the floor
before the delegates, the nOt0i

on the platform and through It Ill
the keen, wine-like quality OF th0s
| cool salt breeze that swept in fr0mj
the wide reaches of the Pacific, ail |
these things were busy even before
the flag swung up in graceful folds,
to disclose the presidents likeness;
and send the convention into 81
frenzy of cheering.
Spirit Runs High and Late.
The burst Of feeling did not die,
/ with adjournment. Long after,
there was still q hint of it In the.
voices of the delegates.

Latter Has Injured His
Chances by Favoring
Seating Of Reed.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.

San Francisco, June 29.-Gov-
ernor Cox Of Ohio or William Gibbs
McAdoo will be nominated by the
Democratic national convention.
Attorney General Palmer will
get most votes ON the first ballot.
He will be eliminated as the ballot
ing progresses.
The sum total Of Palmer and
, McAdoo votes on the FIRST few bal
lots will constitute a majority OF
the convention. This will be an
i indication Of the Wilson strength.
Favorite sons like Glass Of Vir-
ginia, Meredith Of Iowa, AL Smith
Of New York. Davis of West Vir-
ginia, Cummings OF Connecticut.
Edwards Of New Jersey and Cox Of
; Ohio will get the remainder Of the
delegates.
Tanmany hall. and the delega-
! tions from New Jersey, Illinois,
Maryland and Massachusetts which
are wet, will be able to deadlock
this convention indefinitely though
they may be unable to force the Sc
lection of q candidate OF their owr.
That's the way the Democratic
convention looks at this hour. But
! before the balloting comes. there
will be plenty Of contest and con-
troversy over platform.
Cox Hurts Own Cause.
When the platform is adopted and
tho liquor question has somehow
been disposed OF, the effects Of the
controversy will be seen in the bal
loting. Governor Cox has been hurt
. good deal by the statement that
he didn't want any mention of the
prohibition question in the plat
form. He had been looked upon as
. wet" Members of the New
York delegation have called Cox's
attitude ''pussy-footing" and the
plan now is to keep on voting for
Edwards until the Tammany chief
gets ready to switch to one of the
leading candidates. Overtures are
being attempted with the McAdoo
forces In the hope that McAdoo will
run on = moist plank of some kind.
For instance 1t is being suggested
that the platform declare for . rigid
enforcement Of the 18th amendment
but for q condemnation of the Vol
stead act as an imperfect enforce
ment act, pointing out the flaws
which invade the home, especially
the provisions which make it GRIM
inal for the housewife to make her
own wines or beverages
Perhaps the most .distasteful
phase Of the whole situation here is
the publication in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle today OF the story
of Governor Cox's divorce suit.
This yarn has been bobbing around
in Ohio politics for years but never
prevented COX from carrying the
slAte three tines for governor. As
= matter Of fact resentment is SO
deep against that kind of tactics
here that the publication may win
sympathy for Cox. Charges and
counter charges are flying back and
forth as to the headquarters in

San Francisco. June 2S.-The
only jarring incident in the other
wise harmonious opening Of the
Democratic national convention
was the near fight In the New York
delegation between Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt and another dele
gate. The trouble was caused by
Roosevelt's insistence on carrying
the New York nag in the parade
of standards before the convention
was called to order. On being
called to order. the convention was
officially opened with the singing
Of the national anthem.
During the singing. a nag cover
ing one end of the hall was low

burst. When it was raised Q pic
ture of the president was disclosed.

went wild. "Dixie" was struck up
by the band. Flags, standards and
every wayeable thing was Haunted.
