FOLLY TO NAME FAVORITE SON,
 SAYS ROCKWELL
Only McAdOO Could Car ry Election, Manager
 Asserts

NEW YORK, July 6.-Analysis of the seventy ballot, the last one taken Saturday at the democratic na- tional convention, demonstrates the dominant strength of William G. Me Adoo and the hopeless condition of the favorite sons, David l.. Rockwell, manager for McAdoo, declared in a statement Sunday night. Rockwell also offered figures to show that Me Adoo could win the election in No vember.
 To illustrate the preponderance of McAdoos support, Rockwell cited the fact that on the seyenty-seventh ballot, his candidate received votes from forty three of the AS states and six territories which have delegations at the convention.
 Rockwell stressed McAdoo's strength in states which have been democratic all or a part of the time since 1884. The figures demonstrated, he said, that it would be bordering on folly for the democratic party to nominate anyone of the favorite sons."
 Rockwell's statement, in part, fol- lows:

NEW YORK; July 6.-Havng released internationally the delegates supporting the all the candidates for the democratic presidential nomination. William C. McAdoo, will ask the national convention tomorrow compel similar unconditional release of the McAdoo delegates well.
 Whether the do than express in the matter is not certain.

 At the time qualified proposal submitted leaders by Mir.

M'ADOO. RALLY HEARS PLEDGE TO FINISH FIGHT Would Not Betray Trust Californian Assures
 Delegates

NEW YORK, July 6.-Renewed pledges to stand -unflinchingly" for the nomination of William c. McAdoo by the delegates supporting Mir. McAdoo after he, in addressing them, had de- clared he did not even contemplate withdrawing from the race.
 MT. McAdoo declared he would exert every possible effort compatible with honor and the trust imposed upon me" to end the deadlock in the convention.
 Ut cannot be said," he continued, that McAdoo delegates have ob- structed the work of the convention. They are here to serve democracy and righteousness. And we are willing to go the limit to expedite the work of the convention.
 HltHs sars z ile formep treasAey secretary said that number of people had come to him almost with tears in their eyes, begging him not to withdraw.
 ''I asked them why they urged me to do that" he said. If ever make up my mind to withdraw from this race, you win be the first to know about it. You will know about it even before the newspapers do."
 Referring to the two-thirds rule, Mir. McAdoo declared it was one of the peculiar rules prevailing at democratic conventions which create and encOur- age deadlocks.
 "But the only way" he added, ''is to fight this out regardless of conse- quences or expense"
 Alluding to the conference of leaders designed to bring about an end of the deadlock, MT. McAdoo reported to his friends that negotiations were still in progress and that until some decision was reached he did not feel at liberty to discuss the matter.
 Not For Withdrawal
 Insisting that there was an incorrect impression that the conference was candidates, Mir. McAdoo said that such was being made to usurp any of the functions of the convention. The pur- pose, he asserted, was simply to ex- pedite proceedings in the hope of end ing the deadlock.
 Mir. McAdoO declared he was before the convention in different attitude than any other candidate. Recalling that he received the indorsement of many state delegations through primaries or con- ventiOns, he told the delegates that he was in the convention to 'carry out the mandate of the people,
 II must stay and fight to the fin ish, so as not-'to betray a trust" he added.
 Mir. McAdoo's only comment on the platform adopted by the convention was directed at the League of Nations ref erendum plank which he declared was ''wise," would serve the purpose of keeping the issue out of politics, would enable the people to express their yer dict, and he predicted, will result in repudiation of the policy of isolation"
 The candidate concluded after a few minutes speech with the remark that he hoped delegates loyal to him would shortly be released from their labors to go home happy in triumph"
 Women To Aid
 Appealing to women delegates to work for Mir. McAdoo's nomination with increased vigor, Mrs. Alexander Thompson, Portland, Ore, declared that the women of the convention refused to

WHITE INDIANS
 ARE GREETED
 BY N. '. THR()NG
Curious Specimens To Be Examined By
 Experts

Copyright, 1924. in U. S., Canada, Great Britain and South America by North American Newspaper Alliance and
 NEW YORK, July 6.-Richard O. Marsh, leader of the Marsh-Darien ex- petition into the Darien region of east ern Panama, arrived in New York today on the steamer Calames, with the white Indians" and five ordinary type San Bias Indians. The former are two boys of Is and 10 years and a girl of IA.
 Marsh, who is a civil engineer and explorer ,and former charge de'affairs of Panama, positively asserted that the Indians were not albinos.
 "Albinos," he said. have pink eyes, blue gums and white hair, these Indians have hazel eyes, pink gums and blonde hair. I confidently believe they are offshoots of the ancient paleolithic type from which the first Nordic diff ferentiation occurred perhaps 15,000 years ago. It isi my belief that this variation is being repeated, and these Indians, if left to the natural course of evolution would repeat type similar to the Nordic peoples of today.
 ThrOngs Sec Landing
 Marsh and his Indians were scruti- nized by curious throngs as they de- scended at the dock. Neither the three whites nor the brown Indians seemed the least perturbed, or even curious as the New York skyline rose before them. As the whites are minors, they were de- tained at Ellis Island, pending the depo- sitions of bonds for their later return to Panama. The bonds will be pro- cured tomorrow and they will be in- stalled at one of the leading New York hotels.
 At a dinner at the hotel Tuesday which will be attended by leading Amer ian anthropologists, the Indians will be examined and possibly conclusion reached as to the soundness of Marsh s theory regarding their derivation.

 tim Of Accident

Mrs. Nellie Arnold Dean, age 37, of New Orleans, La., wife of Dr. James s. Dean, president of the Old Testa- ment Bible institute in that city, died in Birmingham at the Baptist hospital Sunday morning, as the result of a gun shot wound accidentally inflicted by her 9-year-old son. The accident occurred at the home of M. Crowell, brother-in- law of Dr. Dean, in Philadelphia, Ala, early Saturday night, whea the young Dean boy was attempting to learn to shoot a gun, according to members of the family. Mrs. Dean was brought immediately to the Birmingham Bap- tist hospital and died at 5 80 o'clock Sunday morning.
 The family were spending their va cation with the Crowell family in Arka- delphia, and some of the men were teaching the boy to fire a gun. During the afternoon he had been play ing with an old muzzle-loading rifle, while his mother was watching him, relatives said. Shortly afterward, some one brought in a single-barrel shotgun and laid it down in the room. The child picked it up without the knowl- tuSS O1 OtucESs AI was cdAu1 anu tue gun discharged while in his hands, the load striking his mother in the back.
 Mrs. Dean was given first aid treat rnent by a Dr. White, of Philadelphia, and then brought to Birmingham in his automobile. Investigation at the hospi- tai revealed that the shot had pierced vital organs, and it was seen it would be impossible to save her life. An operation was not attempted.
 The body of Mrs. Dean was sent to Philadelphia, Ala, the former home of Dr. Dean, Sunday. The body was sent by Johns, and burial services will be held at 8 o'clock Monday afternoon in the Philadelphia cemetery. There are no survivors except Dr. Dean and the Q-vear.old child

Treasury Department, In Odd Moments, Gathers Comparative Figures To Show That Country Was lo.6o Per Cent Better Off Last Year, If Tax Payment Indicates Prosperity

WASHINGTON, July GA total net income of $21, 336,212, ,530--an amount equivalent to the gross debt of the nation, was reported subject to fed eral taxes by citizens of the United States for the calendar year, 1922, it was disclosed in statistics of incomes for the year made public by the treas ury.
 On this income the federal govern ment received $S61, ,057 ,30S from the 6,787, ,461 persons who admitted tax liability. This shows an increase over 1921. of $141, ,67O, ,202, or 1869 per cent in taxes of 125,305 in the number of returns filed, and of $1,750, 900, 600 in total income subject to taxation.
 Average Net Income
 The average net income per return for 1922 was $3,143.46 a taxpayer, ward the upkeep of the government, and cent of their net incomes.
 Based on the 1920 census 6.2 per cent of the total population paid taxes and by the basis of calculation, each Ameri- can citizen, whether man, woman or child, had a net income for 1922 of $194.72, just $10 higher than in 1921. The per capita tax by the federal gov ernment amounted to $7.S6, almost one dollar more than in the previous year in which, however, a different sched- ule of tax levies was in effect.
 The year 1922 produced returns for 67 net incomes of one million dollars and over, the highest for this class since 1918, when similar number was re- ported. There were 21 such incomes reported in 1921. In the class between five hundred thousand and one million dollar incomes, there were 161 returns, as compared with 63 for 1921. There were fewer returns showing net in comes between four hundred thousand five hundred thousand dollars than be- tween half a million and one million

dollars. One hundred and four returns in that class was reported or forty more than in the preceding year.
 There .7as twelve thousand persons reporting net incomes between fifty and one hundred thousand dollars, a gain of 4.000 over 1921; 2,171 with incomes between one hundred and one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and 763 with incomes between one hun dred and fifty and two hundred thou sand dollars.
 The Lower Brackets I
 In the lower brackets, the statistics show that 2,471,181 persons paid taxes on net incomes between one thousand and two thousand dollars, and 2,120,- sos filed returns of incomes between two and three thousand dollars. There was 7S5, ,267 returns in the class from three to four thousand dollars 404, sos between four and five thousand dollars 301, ,373 between five and ten thousand dollars; and 90,27S between ten and fifteen thousand dollars.
 In the classes between one and ten thousand dollars the number filing tax returns was substantially the same as for previous years. In each case, how. CVeTg Luc uuIuDGT WAS c1ASutty lu 1922 than in 1921. From this the con. clusion was drawn that the income of some five million taxpayers remained relatively constant, the change in the average number through period oi four years being less than per cent
 New York Leads
 New York, with a net income re ported of $4,110, ,55S, ,9S9 and total tax of $273, ,960, ,079, ranked all states in contributing to expenses of the federal government. That state in 1922, paid 31.82 per cent of the total.

Shim in his determination not to withdraw. His spokesman said aft CT tonight's disagreement among the candidates managers, however, that no attempt would be made to pre- vent the proposal of the fifteen candidates from reaching vote in the convention.
 Hull Makes Statement
 The representative of the can didates had been sitting with Chair man Hull and Senator Walsh of Montana, chairman of the conven- tion, under authorization of the convention itself. At the close of the conference, Chairman Hull aft- CT referring to the release proposal of the representatives of the fif- teen candidates and the counter proposal of Mir. McAdoo dictated the following statement:
 "The sum total of what I have in mind in connection with the proceed. ings of the conference in addition to those two statements, is that of the fif- teen who submitted the first proposal submitted it on their own independent action regardless of whether it was &C., cepted or not by the representatives of the other candidates. Their delegates are released so far as these 15 candi- dates are concerned. That is my inter- pretation of the action. That is a mat ter between the candidates and the dele gates.
 Convention To Decide
 'The conference will doubtless re- port to the convention the progress it has made thus far, especially as it re- lates to the action of the representa- tives of the 15 candidates. That will be reported to the convention along with the counter proposal of MT. Me. Adoo. It Is q matter entirely for the convention to determine what action it will take. The candidates have the undoubted right to release their own delegates without action by the conven- tion. The 15 candidates who signed the proposal will stand by their action regardless of what Mir. McAdoo does.
