"shrll game" for all II ~ worth, On the

from parties to vote for the county

How careful they IRE to avoid men
tionng the fact that the building viii
have to have u ground site; II will have
to be heated, plumbing, lighting. steel
vaults, tiled floors, painting, new fuf-
nture, all these means more rooms,
means additional janitor service, more
fuel, more lights, and we suggest that
these town lot boomers be requested to
nut up a certified check for all over
the sum of &c per acre. Don't be fool
ed by such gross Misrepresentation.
They are simply work the old "shell

Policemen Get Ducking:
Fire at Seven Rowdies
One Officer Hurled Into Creek
Relieves He Wounded Man
in Gang of Assailanls

Patrolmen Emil Miller and Walter
Hcnshler. of the Stapleton police sta
tiou, both in civilian clothes, last night
commented on the fact that things were
rather dull as they strolled along the
boardwalk at South Beach, Staten
Island.
No sooner had this observation been
made than two strangers accosted the
policemen and started an argument.
Five other men joined in, and the odds
against the patrolmcn were seven to
two. A free-for-all fight followed, and
it ended by Miller and Henshlor being
hurled into the narrow creek running
alongside the boardwalk.
Miller got out in time TO fire several
shots at the men as they fled down the
boardwalk. He believes he wounded
one of his assailants who fell off the
walk into the creek. Preparations were
made to drag the stream in an effort to
find q body, The patrolmen later ar
rested two men giving the names Of
Arthur Solvin, twentY-seven years old
of 54S West Broadway, and John Bro
veni, twenty-tive years old, Of III Hous-
ton Street. They were locked up al
the Staploton police station.

Most business readily admit the value of

Naming of Roosevelt In
dicates Strategy of
Demo Managers.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus)

San FRANCISCO, Calif.. July s.
Picking vice president ordinarily
is about as interesting as inaugur-
ating one. He is indistinct in the
picture. But the selection OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary Of the navy, to go along
with Governor Cox on the Demo-
cratic ticket was an episode in ma
tional politics of no minor impor-
tance.
Under the rostrum where nomin-
ating speeches we're being made
for half dozen vice presidential
aspirants, Charlie Murphy of Tam
many hall; George Brennan of Il
linois. who is the successor Of the
late Roger Sullivan; Jim Nugent
Of New Jersey: Fred Lynch Of Min
nesota; Wilbur Marsh OF Iowa !;
Norman Mack Of New York. and
Ed Moore. the campaign manager
Of Governor Cox, gathered for a
conference and in full sight Of on
looking correspondents held an in
formal debate on the merits of Ed
ward Meredith of Iowa, secretary
Of agriculture: Victor Murdock OF
Kansas, member of the federal
trade commission and bull moosel
Of 1912. and Bainbridge- Colby. sec
retary Of stAte and also Roosevelt
progressive.
M Please MtAdoo Forces. s
Governor Cox wisely left the
choice to the managers here. Mr.
Hearst would have liked to see
Colby named and there was some
thought that the support Of the
Hearst newspapers would be easily
assured IL Colby were chosen But
while Tammany favored Colby and
gave indication Of burying the
hatchet with Hearst in the coming
effort to reflect AL Smith governor
Of New York, the leaders argued
with Murphy that Roosevelt's name
would be worth more votes to the
ticket and that his selection would
please the McAdoo forces which
had been led by Roosevelt. The
western men-Meredith and Muir
dock-were eliminated when it was
decided that on account Of Cox't
wet leaning the campaign had bet
ter be waged In the east. Roose-
velt, 1t was contended, would givt
assurance to westerners that tht
ticket was progressive. Further
more, it was suggested that he wal
