DEMOCRATS OPEN
CONVENTION TODAY

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug.
15.-Democrats from all parts of
the state were here today ex-
changing greetings and welcoming
arrivals on trains today, while
they waited for opening of the
state convention in the afternoon.
The gravel was to fall at 2 p. m. I,
when the delegates were to as

De17izenS Of Water Street
Driuen Out by Police Plan
TO Return There, 1t Is Said
Houses Left Completely Fur
nished and Ready to Be Oc-
cupied on Short Notice.

The bright lights of Water
street are dim. The midnight re-
vels which made this bizarre
thoroug ughfare infamous at home
as we'll as in far distant cities are
a thing of the past. The denizens
who have made this street their
home have departed for the time
being at least. The work Of the
police department has thrown a
veil of respectability over the
street, but it is like a woman
powdering her face to cover the
drift will soon come of.
A large number of the places
on this street are closed, it is
true, but from present Indications
they are closed only temporary
In a number of instances the girls
merely turned the key in the lock
ready for their return People
left on the street say that they
are boarding and rooming in
houses over town waiting for the
cleanup wavesto pass, when they
will quietly, one at a time, move
back to their places.
To make the Water street
cleanup permanent the police de-
partment will have to reign with
an iron hand. They will have to
ferret out the girls who are now
said to be living over town and
chase them out of the city, or at
least make them break up their
old hang-outs in Water street.
From present indications, the
Water street cleanup so far is
successful. but it has made a
number of sore spots around the
city in sections which have here
tofore been clean.
The shop-keepers and people
who have small places of business
hit. Their busine ess has been
swept away all at once, and their
only hope is that the cleanup
wave will soon pass over. If not
they will have to close up shop
and move out.S One of the shop
men said he sold only 95 cents
worth of goods yesterday. When
the street was in full blast, his
daily, sales to transients would
amount to $40 or SIS, he said.
Owners of these places feel that
the people who drew the trade to
the street will soon be back One
of them said, They are all on
the other side Of the bridge. Il
I can hold out long enough every
thing. will be all right
The Golden Eagle Cafe, owned
and operated at the old Jim
Laupro stand by Jones and Free
land, and the Riverside place, op-
Grated by John Cobb, are the
largest places open on Water
street at the present time. These
places, according to the police,
are clean and are operated on a
high scale. A half dozen other

PARLEY / Il. DEFINED / I'll |
Statement Declares Germany
Attemptingt to Misrepre-
sent Conditions.

PARIS. Aug. 15.-The French
delegation to the allied confer
ence3 in London in a long state
ment to the Havas Agency, de-
filming its position at the break up
4of the meeting affirms that the
sdelegati on showed patience and
m oderation throug gh out and de-
sclares that Germany is sperseryer-
ing in a policy calculated to make
Europe believe she Fis in "a state
Of bankruptcy. Germany's plan
planned the system attic depression
of her currency. She was certain
to ruin her own credit in the
operation but counted on the AL
lies being forced to favor an in
ternational loan and thus restore
her credit. She hoped that the
first credit operation for her
would be made possible with coer-
coin and pledges and if the opera
tion produced twenty billion
marks for reparations she would
consider she had paid enough.
Her situation then would be
better than that of the victorious
Allies since she would only have
a small debt aud her industry
would be at full activity. The
French wished to form an equit-
able program for Preparations.
The statement reviews in de-
tail the proceedings of the Lon
don conference and declares the
French delegation was obliged to
reject the last proposal to grant
a brief moratorium because
France would be put in the posi-
tion Of receiving requests for pay
ment of her creditors while toal-
ly without resources against her
former enemy debtors.
t.Under the circumstances, 1T
adds, I'm. Poincaire refused to as
sociate himself with any decision
in the conference even for refer
ring the problem to the repara-
tions commission and announced
that the French government would
deliberate on the situation and
,thatin any case it would preserve
freedom.
A rupture between England
and France, he asserted, would
be a great misfortune but there
would be something grayer than
a MON entary disagreement be-
tween the two governments-the
mutual disaffection of the two
peoples-if France felt that in a
question vital to her, England did
not concede her freedom to de-
fend her rights. II France saw
that it was intended to condemn
her to a policy of successive con-
cessions she would feel deep sor-
row and cruel disappointment.
