citizens non-partisan convention com mittee as insurance that the 2,500 tickets for New Workers who have contributed $100 or more each to the entertainment fund will not fall into scalpers' hands. To each of his prospective ticket-hold- CTS, MT. Quinn will forward a receipt in the form of a certified bank check, to be signed and retained by the recipi- ent. An Identification card, to be signed and returned to Mir. Quinn, will accompany the check.
 On the day the convention opens the New Workers will present their cer- tificates at place whose location will be kept. secret until then. Signatures will be compared and, if satisfactory, tickets will be issued. Only forger could beat this system, and he would have to be well disguised, too, for most of the contributors to the conven- tion fund are men and women promi- nent in local democratic or republican circles.
 According to Mir. Mara, the detach- able session-stub tickets will abolish a form of gate crashing that has been common at previous national conven- tions. It will be impossible, he said, for a bona-fide ticket holder to gain his seat in the auditorium and then dis patch his ticket by messenger to friend, or customer, without the gates.
 As final precaution, the 100 hawk CTS, to be employed by concession men, will be barred from the main audi torium and confined strictly to the restaurants and club rooms with which the vast arena will be encircled. MT. Mara recalled that concessionaire was arrested at the San Francisco session when it was discovered he was collect ing his hawkers' admission pasteboards and sending them outside to be scalped to highest bidders.

 Private Elevator
 At the McAdoo headquarters high in an uptown hotel a private elevator is provided to carry callers to the easy chaired conference rooms where the inner circle of the McAdoo managers used their best persuasive powers on possible converts. Negro door keep CTS go to. and fro with flying messages from one lieutenant to another, with reports from listening posts out be fore the enemy, and with orders and advice from those in command to those on. the firing line. The air of driving enthusiasm and of organized determi- nation is unacceptable. .s
 The Smith forces are quite as busy, and their convention machinery is far flung across the hotel section of New York. The governor is living at one hotel where many delegates and party leaders are congregated for the con- vention and in his suite receives a constant stream of visitors.
 Several Headquarters
 In another hotel, where the democrat ic nataional committee is adjacent, there are two Smith headquarters, one on the street level just adjacent to ,the lobby and one in quieter and more secluded spot several floors above. In addition, the offices of the Smith cam paign manager, Franklin D.. Roosevelt, occupy a suite in an uptown office building and hold open house. His scouts are, everywhere. Girls are dis tributing Smith for President" badges by the thousands and women are pre- pairing to pass around Smith souvenirs lavalliers and vanity cases to women delegates,
 If this campaign has done more that to close up the gaps in the; opposing ranks there is no outward evidence of it except the directly conflicting claims of the rivals. sz

 Those who have the keys to the pad dock of dark horses profess to be gain ing hope hourly as the McAdoo and Smith supporters tighten their grip on one another's throats.
 Today the Alabama organization of Senator Oscar Underwood dressed out it's headquarters in a. full regalia that bespoke complete confidence. The friends of John w.

PAT HARRISON,
 GARDEN ORATOR, FORENSICGENIl
Chairman Pro Tenn Puts
 Both Sting And Smile { In Words

WASHINGTON, June 21. (Associat- ed Press) Six years of active serv. $ ice on the oratorical firing line in the Senate, preceded by four terms of po- itical schooling in the House of Rep resentatives, developed in Pat Harrison a brilliance of forensic expression that led to his selection as temporary chair man of the democratic national con yention. Next to the youngest member of the Senate, a six-footer with perpetual < twinkle in his eye and zooming voice that carries to the fringes of crowd, he has knack of putting into his de- livery and choice of words both sting and a smile.
 :. His name is really Byron Patton Har- rison, and so he was referred to in the congressional directory when he was serving his first term as member of the House from the sixth Mississippi district. But now, as senator, he is listed as Pat.
 The senator is of the same Virginia stock as two former Presidents of the United States, William Henry and Ben jamin Harrison. More than 100 years ago his grandfather, migrating from the old dominion, settled near, Crystal Springs, Mississippi, where Pat Har- rison was born in August, 1881. His father, Robert Harrison, served in the Confederate army, receiving wounds from which he never fully recovered.
 The Harrison family suffered reverses as a result of the Civil War, and at nine years of age Pat sold newspapers. But he kept to his school books, and finally worked his way through Louisi- : ana State University by serving as a waiter in a student boarding house.
 After graduation, he studied law while teaching in Mississippi coun- try school. At g years of age he was elected district attorney, serving in that capacity until 1910 when he was elected to Congress.
 In 1918 Pat Harrison, who was mak- ing a name for himself in the House, entered a three-cornered fight for the democratic senatorial nomination in Mississippi, and received a tmajority over the combined vote cast for Senator Vardaman, who was a candidate for re- election, and Governor Noel, who also was in the race.
 Vardaman had incurred the i'll will of President Wilson. Harrison. cham. pioned the Presidents cause, and on entering the Senate proved one of Woodrow Wilson's staunchest defend CTS during the embittered days after the war. Of late, he has assumed the role of one of the most caustic critics of the Republican administration.
 Senator Harris0n's home is in Gulf port, Mississippi. He is married. has three children, cares little for Wash -1ngton society, plays a fair game of golf, likes to slip away from the Sen ate once In a while to watch a ball game and usually relaxes in the eve ming by going to the movies.

.CLEVELAND MEET
 . SEEKS MORE ROOM
PrOgressiyes May Give Up As- sembling In Brotherhood Hall

CLEVELAND, June 21.-The con- ference for progressive political action convention here July 4-5 may be held in Gray's armory, Masonic hall or the pub lic auditorium, instead of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers audi torium, originally designated, because of the limited seating capacity of the audi torium. Representatives of the na- tona committee of the conference were considering the change today, it was announced.
 The engineers auditorium seating ca pacity of 300 would not accommodate the expected delegates, estimated at from .1,5O0 to 2000, it was said.
 The brotherhood is the first Ohio or ganization to designate it's delegates to the convention. They are R. B. Acker- man, Gallon, O., chairman of brother hoods state legislative board, as the Ohio delegate and D. B. Robertson, Cleveland, president of the brotherhood Arthur J. Lowell, Washington, D. C., and Chester c. Hope, Columbus, O., as the three national delegates from the organization.

GATE CRASHERS WITHOUT CHANCE
 AT CONVENTION
Burglar Couldn't Jimmy
 Way Into Madison Square Garden

NEW YORK, June 21.-(By Asso- ciated Press. Madison Square Garden will be so tightly guarded against gate crashers during the national demo- cratic convention that a burglar will not to be able to jimmy his way in.
 As first precaution, George F. Mars, convention director, has had the tickets prepared with stubs detachable for each session, and-has kept the name of the printer and. of the final distri- button point secret, known only to himself. The tickets will be passed out the day before the convention opens.
 Each of the nine public entrances to the garden, as well as the numerous secret passageways for committeeman, newspaper men, convention officials, house employees and police, will be heavily guarded by uniformed officers and police detectives. "Spotters," vete- ran party workers who know by sight most. of the 12,200 ticketholders, will help authorities detect imposters.

NEW MANAGER BABBITTS'
DRY AND MEMS GOODS SALES

Ted Goode breezed into town from
Clemenceau Saturday and on Monday
took charge for Babbitt Brothers of
their dry goods and mems furnishing
departments. Before he came here he
had been in the employ of the United
Verde Extension Co. for about year
and half. Although Mr.. Goode was
born in London, England, he has been
in this country for fifteen years and
feels that he really is now more
American than English. Ted bought
a copy of The Sun Immediately upon
his arrival and through that he found
an apartment where he is now located.
Mr.. Goode is unmarried, which should
be good news to our debutantes, es-
pecially since It's leap year. Mr..
Goode says that he likes Flagstaff and
that it has an especially delightful,
honey sort of atmosphere. With Mr..
Goode is his half brother, Roy Jones,
who will stay here for some days and
may locate here permanently.

FLAGSTAFF LUMBER CO. TO
BUILD NEW HOUSES AND
ENLARGE MILL FACILITIES

Thomas Bunyard, the construction
man who planned and handled lot
Of the building for the w. M. Cady
Lumber Co., at McNary, La, arrived
here on Monday, to take charge of
plans for other enlargements to the
f. L. Co. plant. Last week and part
of this v. l.. Traynum of Milwaukee,
Wis, mill machinery man, was here
in connection with the same improve
ments. Among them will be the in
stallation of a sorting chain, to sort
the lumber into its various grades as
it leaves the saws, instead of, as here
tofore, having the sorting done by
men in the yards. This will, it is
said, reduce the number of employees
in that end of the work by from six
to eight men.
A new brick, probably concrete
brick, fuel room is to be built for
storage of reserve fuel. The present
fuel room is too small, Mr.. Cady ex-
planned, for the storage of more than
enough fuel for few hours use.
Two large additional boilers are to. be
installed.

MEN WHO ROBBED BLY,
HOME IN JAIL IN BELIN

The two men who burglarized the
home of Fletcher Bly, in Williams on
February A, were arrested the last of
last week in Belin, N M, after they
had attempted to hold up railroad
ticket agent, during which they used
the six gun they stole from Bly,. The
men are Fred Welch and Harry Blake
and were arrested after some clever
work by Jim Frohman, special offic-
er of the Santa Fe railroad company,
who came to Flagstaff on Tuesday
bringing lot of loot he had taken
off the prisoners. There was tag
from Mr.. Bly's trousers in the lot,
gold watch, razor, set ring and some
other articles from the BLY, home and
several other pieces of jewelry that
may prove to belong to Mrs. Bly,
when she has opportunity to see them.
Bly's overcoat was also recovered. In
case the New Mexico officers do not
file charges for attempted murder
against the men, or if they are tried
for that and discharged, they will be
brought back here to stand trial for
burglary.

SECRETS ABOUT MARCH

March doesn't register very
strong with holidays. But there
are several anniversaries that are
noteworthy, and you may suit
yourself about celebrating any or
all of them for all we care.
Last Monday, the third, was the
anniversary of that day back in
1847 when postage stamps were
first used in the United States.
ANY Of you who were alive then
are welcome to tell US what they
used before they got the stamps.
Wednesday, the fifth, was Ash
Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.
If you don't get back what you
lent charge it to profit and loss.
Tomorrow, which the calendars all
insist is the eighth, is a good day
to recall the historic battle between
the Merrimac and Monitor, back
in '62.
Saturday, the 18th, is the day
interest is due on the third liberty
loan. Very interesting fact if you
have any of the bonds left. If not,
forget it.
All day the 18th will be St.
Patrick's day, in honor of the birth
of the man whom Pat Moran and
some of our other turbulent Irish
men still insist in getting mixed
up with st. Peter, the feller who
guards the gates of the celestial
kingdom.
Friday, the 21st, will be the first
day of spring. It may or may not
be good time for those who have
not already done so to change their
undies.
The 30th and 31st kind of crowd
things, the first date being the an
niversary of the Alaska purchase
in 1867 and the latter of the day, in
1854, when Commodore Perry OPP
ened Japan.

Along with the home-building plans
announced this week in another story,
it is interesting to note that the Flag
staff Lumber Co. will begin at once
the erection of 10 to Is small, and
four or five larger houses in the High
land Park section of town, east OF the
mill. These houses will all be Tor
the use of employees of the company.
A lot of other improvement work
is being done and more is planned at
the mill. The log pond is being much
enlarged, extending down into the
company's railroad Y, and as soon as
filled with water it will provide room
for the dumping of the big train
loads of logs as fast as they come
from the woods. Heretofore the ca
pacity of the pond being limited, 1T
has been necessary to hold trains for
some time before there was room for
dumping the logs. w. M. Cary, Jr.,
general manager of the mill, said
Tuesday that this will enable them
to lay up one engine and will cut cost
of lumber production a dollar a
thousand.

Sid GASSMAN WILL BUILD
new HOME THIS SUMMER;
OTHERS PLAN SAME STUNT

Indications point to lot of home
building in Flagstaff this summer.
Several of our business men who do
not own their own homes have bought
lots in the last few months and are
making tentative plans for building,
though in most cases the plans are not
far enough along to permit defininte
announcement.
One of the home-builders, however,
who will soon begin is Sidney j. Gass-
man. Mr.. Gassman has bought two
lots-formerly the Daugherty lots-at
the northwest corner of North Agassiz
street and East Dale avenue, in the
northeast part of town and Contrac-
tor Solberg is finishing up the plans.
This new home will face the east and
be approximately so feet long by 80
feet wide, with garage at one end,
and will be of the most modern type.
Just north Of Mr.. Gassman's lots
and also a short distance east two
other Flagstaff business man have
bought and it is reported will build,
very likely this summer.
Johnny Akers has moved his family
into the home in that section of town
that he recently bought from Frank
Zalesky and DIR. Vaughn Mcclure will
move on the fifteenth to the home he
last month bought from Loren Cress.

WHO'S GOT EN-?

Where do all the silver dollars
that reach Flagstaff go to, any
how?
The local banks every few days
have lot Of silver dollars shipped
in here. They are handed out in
the course of the regular banking
business. A good many find their
way back into the banks, of course,
but not nearly enough to supply the
demand. So more have to be ship
ped in, at considerable expense, to
fill the need.
Of course, there are some poker
players, no names mentioned, who
use silver dollars for chips. And
some of these players are usually
getting and seldom letting loose Of
the silver. But that can hardly ac-
count for the ever-recurring short
age.
Some bankers with no romantic
tendencies offer the prosaic the
ory that the silver dollars are
handed out as change to tourists
who carry mostly paper money and
who lug a lot of the silver away
with them. Maybe so.
