men after twelve minutes delibera-
tion returned an open verdict at the
inquest over the body of Lord
Mayor MacSwiney, who died in
Brixton prison. as the result of his
seventy-three day hunger strike.
The verdict was that the deceased
had died from heart failure due to a
dilated heart and acute delirium,
following sltury, due to absorption
from prolonged refusal to take food.
The widowed Lady Mayoress.
dressed in black an heavily veil
ed, was the only witness and was the
dominant figure of the proceeding.
Her composure was indicated by her
quick and pointed replies.
Mrs. MacSwiney successfully re-
sisted the continued attempts of the
coroner to have her characterize
her late husbands occupation other
wise than as "a volunteer officer of
the Irish Republican Army"
The inquest which was held in the
bright sunny office of the prison
governor was attended by thirty.
five persons besides the coroner and
jury.

hour of the country's danger.
Many vital economic measures

impossible with a Democratic Free

such measures as these we must
have, as we intend to have, Re

Great reductions in expenditures

''The president demonstrated again

to be willing to put Lowden on the
same list.
Chicago, June THE Republican
National convention met an hour late
and effected a temporary organiza
tion by the acclimatiOn of Lodge as
temporary chairman, A short talk
was heard by Hays, who introduced
Lodge to deliver the keynote speech.
The Lodge speech was loudly APP
plauded. Lenders said there was
every indication that the temporary
convention organization would be
made permanent
After Lodge concluded his address

The resolution was adopted. Other
routine motions Of procedure also
were adopted Shortly after 1880
the convention adjourned until IL a.
m. tomorrow to await the reports Of
its committees on credentials, reso-
lutions and permanent organization.
The first woman to speak In ma
tional conventio was Mrs. Manley l..
Fossen of Minneapolis, who offered a
resolution which was adopted. She
was unable TO make the house hear
her but the chairman informed the
body Of the text.
"The country must drive Presi-
dent Wilson and his dynasty from
power and defeat the League Of Ma
tions as he desires it, declared Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, temporary

dress here today.

Chicago, June S.--Unique in the
annals of the party, the Republican

bossed, unbrided, and with no presl-

doors opened at the big Coliseum
thousands were waiting and hop

Henry Lincoln johnson, the At
lanta negro who led the fight on the
Lowden delegates, was elected ma
tional committeeman by the Georgia
delegation.
At IL O'clock, the hour set for
opening there was no movement to
call the convention to order. Aisles
were crowded with delegates whose
intention was shaking hands and
chatting. Unlike former conyen-
tiOns the old guard came early. Old
timers said 1t looked almost the same
as four years ago. Nobody seemed
TO have any more definite idea how
things were going to lineup than they
did last week

Chicago, June 9.-The Republican
convention remained in session an
hour and adjourned until II o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Only routine business was transact
ed. Temporary organization was
made permanent and report of the
crendentials committee was approved
with charges made last night, some
of which reversed decisions of the
national committee.
For the second days sensation the
convention heard Mrs. Margaret
Hill McCarter of Kansas. the first
woman to address a national conyen-
tion. She pledged support of wo-
men to the party and predicted Re
publican victory.
The platform committee was not
ready to report but announced that
progress was being made. Chauncey
NJ. Depew, also addressed the con
vention briefly

ting started is more attributable to

second days session. 1t escaped a

tion of Seator Lodge as permanent
chairman, making the temporary or
ganization permanent.
Today's business consisted of hear
ing reports of progress from the com

the general trend Of the talk among
old line political leaders is toward
Lowden. They won a victory in the
principal business transacted.
Instructed Wood delegates won
two most important committee chair
manships-Senato Watson, Of In
diana, for resolutions, and Edward d.
Duffield, Of New Jersey for creden-
tials.
Frank H. Hitchcock was designat-
ed by the Wood delegates as their su-
preme strategist.
In the event that the presidential
nomination doesn't drop in his lap,
Gov. Henry J. Allen, Of Kansas, has
very good show for the vice pres
idential nomination. Nearly all of
the active candidates for president
are perfectly willing to have Allen
as their running mate. Many Of
their managers have so notified him.
In fact he is the only one being Civ

Kansans to Vote for Wood.
However, events may change the
situation later Governor Allen is
giving no thought just now to the
vice presidency nor to his own poll
tical fortunes OF any kind. He is try
ing to help nominate General Wood
for president. Thru his influence the
Kansas delegation will cast its entire
vote for the general for two or three
ballots, or until 1T is demonstrated
that Wood cannot win. This in face
of the fact that there are twelve
Lowden men on the delegation. It
is barely possible that the Lowden
men from Kansas may never get a
chance to vote for Lowden.
A resolution subcommittee Of thir-
teen, headed by Senator Watson, Of
Indiana, was appointed last night to
frame the Republican platform. The
other members are: William Allen
