ESSEX SWIMS DUCK
RIVER, LATEST TEST
BIG CAR PLUNoEs y 'HiERp Ugh
NEARLY FOUR FEET WATER
WITHOUT HITCH.

IF the Essex had few days long
er to grow wings, it could fly" said
Colonel William Fry this morning, fol
lowing the latest stunt performed by
this remarkable car, when on yester-
day "Wild Man" Matthews swan the
Essex across Duck river at the Sowell
ford. At this place the water is be-
tween three and four feet deep, and
the Essex made the trip across the
river and return without a hitch. The
only inconvenience was the fact that
the Wild. Man got his feet wet when
the water poured up into the body of
the car.
Since the first OF the present
Watch the Essex Week" this car has
been put through all manner of seem
ingly impossible gaits, climbing the
twenty per cent grade on the Will
liams hill on the Santa Fe pike in
high gear, walking up the court house
steps, pulling to the top of reservoir
hill, and running for twenty-one and
one-half miles on one gallon of gaso-
line, touring around and hitting 'em
off at the rate of little better than
a mile per minute.
Those who have not actually wit
messed these remarkable perform
ances find it hard to be lieve them,
but sufficient evidence has been secur-
ed of each test to make 1t official.
About the only thing the Essex
has not yet done is to take wings and
fy-and the wild Man" is becom-
ing more and more convinced that
this could be done with little prac-
tiee.

AT ITS MEETING ON MONDAY
Lively Scrap is Expected When Issue
Is Again Raised Over Placing the

Another effort will be made at the
meeting of the county board of educa-
tiOn on next Monday to locate the
Mcdowell school building at point

trict. For several years the question
of placing the school nearer the cen.
ter of the district or Of consolidating it
with the city elementary schools has
been live topic and bobs up at regu.
lar intervals.
Since the appropriation by the
county court for a new building and
the subscription of $4,000 by the
citizens another determined effort
will be made to change the loca-
tion. The advocates of new loca-
tion realize that If they sit by and
permit 100000 building to be err
eeted it will mean an end of consoli-
dation or change in the location.
William e. Brittian stated this
-
morning that large delegation Of
citizens, whom he said, would repre-

school would appear before the board

1t Is expected that those who are for
the West End location will also be
present. Many have subscribed for
the new building conditioned that it
be located in West End. 1t is said
on the other hand that there are
many who did not subscribe because
OF the location but who will do so If

Much oratory is expected when the

Leaders Of the big camps opposing

Managers OF Governor Cox's cam

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The
resolutions committee adopted the
league of nations plank, putting the
party on record as favoring the rati-
hcation Of the treaty without impair
Ing its essential integrity, but with
an, amendment by Senator Walsh, of
Massachusetts,, stating that the party
does not oppose any reservations
which may make the pact clearer and
more specific on the American obliga.
tions and sovereignty under the
league. !.
a The amendment offered by Senator
Walsh was adopted was adopted by a
vote OF thirty-two to- eighteen after
four hours OF heated debate, during
which Walsh made an impassioned
appeal to the committee.
The action was complete surprise
and caused a sensation among lead
ing democrats Who expected to adopt
the administration plank without
amendment.
Senator Walsh first urged COM
plete substitute for the so-called Vir-
Nl4
gnia plank. Senator Walsh holds
that the adoption of his amendment
Justified the democratic senators who
voted for the Lodge reservations.
The session at which the fight over
the league of nations plank occurred
was marked by unusual effoftss0f Sem
ator Glass, chairman of the res0hss
tions committee to keep secret the tl8-
liberations and actions of the commM
tee. Numerous guards were stationed
about the committee room, and all
persons not members Of the commit
tee were ordered to remain fifty feet
away from the doors. Chairman
Glass pledged the committee to abso-
lutte secrecy until the work has been
completed and the platform ready for
the convention.
When the committee met again this
morning the liquor and Irish planks
remained to be decided. AS drafted
by the subcommittee, the platform
was silent on prohibition.
