. pi ospects of a dark horse were reyiva again. AV
 The increasing vote for Davis in the| sixteenth ballot brought him forward again in the discussion of possibibe| compromise
 Thomas J. spellacy of Connecticut moved a recess until eight o'clock to- night. There were cries of ''Nol" and de 1 mands for year and nay vote by states
 Totals on the sixteenth ballot were as follows:
 Palmer 1e41k, Cox 45fk. McAdoo ss7| Davis 52 Cummings 20, Owen Si, Glass 1 25, Clark 4.
 | All three of the leaders lost on thd sixteenth ballot. Cox fell short l4, Mel Adoo and Palmer ?. These votes werd | almost all given to John ". Davis, am1 l bassador to Great Britain, whose total on that ballot was 52. Mir Davis was be ing much talked of as dark horse oiI which the forces might unite with ad1 ninistration support.
 It was the first loss Cox had suffered i since the balioting began. | When the District of Columbia voted six for Palmer, Judge T. T. Ansberry demanded poll and it was ordered atl ter the roll of states had been finished.
 The District of Columbia poll was Pa l nleT three ana q ldll NOlcS, o4C<1uoO uH | l Cox and absent one-half. Under the un rule six votes had to be cast for PalmeT}
 Tn the poll Bainbridge Colby, Secrel tary of State, was absent and his alter1 nate did not vote. Judge Ansberrs 1 voted for Cox.
 The failure to nominate on the six teenth ballot threw all the leaders of their feet. Plainly they were at losl to know what move to make next. Thl talk of a recess was resumed and l seemed as if some of the forces would welcome it with its accompanying opl portunity to realign things. The con| fusion among the leaders themselve| was emphasized by the loss of tim| after the sixteenth ballot. The banl played and the organ played, and thl delegates chatted and moved about thl II hall. It was obvious that everybod] was glad of opportunity to take breath and wonder what to do next

 Some of the managers said the dark horses were sure to be trotted out if the twelfth ballot showed no change in the voting.
 The break in Illinois on the twelfth ballot gave Cox thirty votes more to his string. The Cox people in the conven- tion made a great demonstration. All the votes were taken from Palmer and fourteen were retained for McAdoo.
 Further breaks in the solid delegates were reported imminent.
 The state delegation standards, which previously had carried votes to Cox, were raised in the demonstration, which the casting of the block of votes from Illinois occasioned and the parade for Cox started around the hall led by Ohio and followed by New Jersey, Illi- nois Mississippi, Maryland and In- diana Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey and other states which had been cast ing Cox votes. Rhode Island also fell in.
 The poll of the Iowa delegation
 showed 1s for Cox and 10 for McAdoo.
 Chairman Marsh of the Iowa delega- tlOn then, undtr the urlt rule, edst 70 votes for Cox. An Iowa delegate chal- lenged the vote on the ground that the unit rule had been abrogated despite the fact that the state convention . placed them under it. The ruling of the chair was that the unit rule stood and Cox got the 26 votes

DISAPPOINTMENT LIKELY

If the tradition that a democratic convention never worked on Sunday holds good, the demonstration signalizedt the postponement of the nomination contest until Monday, because, with two and half hours left for business before midnight. the crowd showed no disposition to get to business. It roared and pranced and hopped and cavorted and reeled and crawed and wiggled and screamed and shouted and hooted and the Aconvention looked for all the world as if it had gone mad. Then as suddenly as it had begun, the demonstration began to die away and the convention went back to ex- anime itself and see whether it had shouted and wiggled itself out of a deadlock. It apparently had not and proceeded to the nineteenth ballot. Cox gained two in Alabama one from McAdoo and one from Davis. The next change came in Colorado, where Palmer gained two, taking them from McAdoo.
 McAdoo gained two in Delaware, taking one from Cox,
 Kansas stuck on the ballot, evidently having decided not to break up yet anyway.
 In Massachusetts Cox lost three to Palmer.
 Palmer lost one in Missouri and Cox lost one in New York where a Cox vote went back to Gerard.

Rio Grande with four bottles OF
tequila, = Mexican liquor Of cactus
distillation, tied across his back.
The dog, as the story Of the sery-
Ice to his master is told by United
States customs men, had been max
ing nightly trips between Juarez and
FL PasO with contraband goods for
several months. The strange, but
regular. actions Of the animal hrst
were noted by customs officers about
two months ago. Beginning at two
O'Clock in the morning. the dog would
begin his operations. Signal lights
flashed by confederates In the gang Of
smugglers stationed on each side OF
the river always preceded the dogs

cluster Of squalid adobe houses along
the Mexican side of the river. the AMI

''smuggler" always was successful In
