Complaints against the increase
have been coming in every day, and
yesterday there was filed by Osborne
I. Yellott, attorney for the Glenburnie
Improvement Association, a protest
against the proposed rates, alleging
that they are unreasonable and unjust,
and in violation of the Public Utilities
law, which provides that mo common
carrier shall make or give any undue
or unreasonable preference or advant-
age TO any person or corporation or
TO any locality or any particular de-
scription of traffic in any respect
whatever, or subject any particular
person, corporation or locality, or any
particular description of traffic to any
prejudice or disadvantage" in that
the rates proposed are unreasonably
discriminatory against the residents
of Glenburnie and vicinity and of resi-
dents at other points on the road. He
also alleges that the roadbed is UNI
safe
Richard V. Waters, of Gambrills,
also filed a protest against the rates
proposed on the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis Railway.

M 'ADOO TIDAL WAVE
 HAS PASSED CREST
 AND NOW RECED|NG
Average Uninstructed Dele gate Up In Air and Will ing to Vote for Anybody
 on First Ballots
By E. W. BARRETT

San Franciscol June 129.- (SpeciaD The McAdoo tidal wave is receding this after noon.
 It was at it's crest yesterday, but the other candidates seem to have combined to build a breakwater and shatter the wave.
 Apparently the newspaper writers of San Francisco have combined to refer to McAdoo as the Grown Prince seek ing to succeed his father-in-law in the klngship of America, and have aroused a sentiment against him. They are hit ting him below the belt, and the blows are proving effective E Every one except the McAdoo army seem to have combined against the for mer Secretary of the Treasury.
 yice-President Tom Marshall of Indiana is looming up today and votes are be- ing distributed among the so-called weak candidates
 Senator owen of Oklahoma, for in- stance, is getting scattering votes here and there among them several from Ala bama.
 The average delegate from the unin structed states apparent.. doesn't know yet for whom to vote. lie is fearful rf making a mistake and is more or less willing to vote at random on the hrst few ballots. Tomorrow we shall have nominating speeches and perhaps one ballot. The general prediction at this hour is that there will be nothing doing fer the first five or six ballots and then lit will be anybody's race
 Today for instance. John w. Davis or West Virginia is more mentioned than at any time since delegates began gatn- ering.
 As Hugh Roberts has wired. the Ala bama delegates are scattered all over the field of candidates
 They don't exactly know who they are for and hope to concentrate upon the winner All except three hope that Un- derwood may be brousht into the race. The convention was tame today and the |speeches of Permanent Chairman Robin- son of Arkansas aroused but littles en- thusiasm
 The delegates were satisfied With the speech of Homer Cummings yesterday and showed that they were tired of speechmal1ing today. They want action. and the chances are that fhey will hess'n tc get it tomorrow.

San Francisco, June 29. Actual work on the democratic platform was begun tonight by the subcommittee of nine after last minute suggestions from many sources had been heard at an all-day public hearing.
 The committee met behind closed doors. Just before it was called to order. Chairman Glass announced that nothing would be made public rcgaro- ing subcommittee recommendations as tO platform blanks until the full com mittee hnd passed upon them. specin' precautioii to guard the subcommittee deIibera tions from interruption were taken and 1t looked like an nil-night session might be in prospect.
 When the subcommittee met, the most serious problems confronting tho convention including prohi ibition, th4 League of Nations and the Irish ques- ton. still were far from solution and subjects at least, would develop fights in the full committee and probably on the convention floor. regardless Of what action the subcommittee might take.
 Since the platform committee is headed by Senator Glass of Virginia, an administration leader. and has q clear majority for many admlnistra- ton policies most of these h,.ding views not in harmony with the Whits House decided not 10 ask for subcom . mittee consideration for their sugges- tionS.

 CAST FOR M 'ADOO
Remarkable Phenomenon Is Drift of Alabamians to Senator Owen of
 Oklahoma
Ky HUGH W. ROBERTS

San Francisco, June 29.- (SpeciaD Were Senator Un- derwood candidate for the Presidency, he would receive a majority vote of the Alabama delegation. As it is, several members delcare they will vote for him in spite of Thigh water
 A very remarkable phenomenon is a noticeable drift on the part of Ala bamians to Senator owen of Oklahoma. Delegate Edmondson of Montgomery. offering his suffrage to William Jen- nings Bryan. was informed by the Ne- braskan that he was not a candidate, and among the candidates had no pref erence. The Owen movement is. there fore, not attributable to the former Secretary of State. It is probable that ex-Goyernor Williams of Oklahoma a native of Alabama. has done the work.
 The indications are that the Ala
 bantnns. after the first few ball. lots, will concentrate their strength,
 or the greater part of their
 strength, on McAdoo. On the first
 ballot, it is probable that the vote
 will be as follows:
 For McAdoo. LusS. Armstrong,
 Harrison, O'tear. simpson, Bowie
 (sixD; for Palmer, MnyfieId. Werner
 ttwo); for Davis, Burr, Fite ftwo);
 for Cox, Herxberx, Crawford Utwo);
 for Owen, EdmOndson, Malone,

 Underwood. Jones. Smith. Mcleod,
 Pratt. Mcdonald (nve); for Glass,

 It was the original purpose of the delegation caucus today relative to Its presidential balloting. but boat ride on San Francisco bay necessitated the postponement of the business session IT is certain. however. that this dele ration. composed of parts which cannot be annalganos ted will refuse to adopt the unit rule.

RICE REPORT.

Mr.. Lionel l.. James, Agricultural
Statistician at New Orleans Of the
Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
State sDepartment of Agriculture, is
sues the following report concerning
the Louisiana rice crop as Of October
l, 1920.
According to the average of the re.
ports of large number of we'll inform,
ed rice growers in all parts Of the rice
district, the condition of the crop on
October was SO per cent of normal.
This compares with 80 per cent on
September / 1920; SO per cent Oct. l,
1919; and with $50 per cent the 10.
year average Of condition on Oct l.
Q910.1919).
A condition of IS per cent on Oct,1,
forecasts probable average yield per
acre of approximately 95.2 bushels
and a total probable production for
the State of approximately 24,64O,O0O
bushels. Last year the average yield
per acre was 35.2 bushels and the pro
.duction 19,712,000 bushels. Two years
ago the production was 16,704,OO0 bu
three years ago, 15,500,000 bu. with
.17,204, 400 bu. the average annual pro
ductiOn for the last five years, 1915
1919. The avergae yield per acre for
the past five years, 1915-1919) is 50
bushels.
The final out turn will probably be
larger or smaller than 24,640,OOO bu
according as to conditions hereafter
are better or worse than average con
|ditiOns.
During the past month rice fell OFF
two points compared with its cOndi
tions on September l. According to
the reports Of growers, grass, weeds,
insects, blight, and the presence OF
red rice have somewhat decreased eX'
pected yields. The tropical storm OF
September q and % damaged uncut
rice in paths, the principal damage
being done to late rice in the River
Parishes.
Tie weather during September has
generally been favorable for harvest,
ing and threshing which are making
rapid progress.
FOR THE UNITED STATES
The condition of rice on October l.
was SS,1 per cent of a normal. This
compares with SS.3 per cent on Sept.
Il, 1920; with 91.3 per cent on October
Il, 1919; and with Sc per cent the l0-
jyear average Of condition on October
II, (191O-1919).
A condition of SS1 per cent on Oct.
/. forecasts a probable production OF
approximately 52,29S,O0O bushels in
1920. Last year the. production was
Al, ,O59, 900 bushels. The five year aver
age of production (1915-1919) is &C.
S42, 400 bushels.

BANKERS ADOPT RESOLUTION
SUPPORTING ASSN. MINIMUM

the basic price set by the Southern
Rice Growers Association Of $500 per
Dbl. for No. / and No. 2 Blue Rose. We
believe this price is so far below cost
to the farmer, that in order to pro
tect all interests we respectfully urge
all farmers, bankers, merchants ware
housnmen, and millers, to support this
figure, as the basic price for the 1920
crop.
1--WE favor and suggest, the Southern
Rice Growers Association collect sc
per barrel from everyone of its mem
bers towards an advertising fund fOl
rice, and that every miller who buys
rice outside of the Association should
condition his purchase on &c per hbl
being deducted to go into the advertis
ing fund. We believe that advertising
and demonstration is the crux Of the
whole situation in the movement OF
this crop.
1--WE will view with disfavor any
farmer who sells his rice below this
basic price.
1--WE will also view with disfavol
and miller who attempts to buy rice
below the figure named
And we will view with Special Dis
favor and farmer or miller who after
this date contracts to mill rice on toll
1--WE will lend every assistance pos
sible in financing and carrying ma
turing paper now held by us so thai
this rice crop will be marketed in al
orderly way as fast as the mills car
get the rough rice into the clean, and
into consumptive demand.
