PIG IRON OUTPUT
 IN STATE GAINS,
 SURVEY SHOWS
Trade In Sixth Federal Reserve District Hold
 ing Up We'll

ATLANTA. Ga, June 30.-(By As sociated Press.) - Weather conditions have been more favorable during the past month than during the earlier part of the spring, resulting in i'm proved prospects for general agricuI- fural crops, according to the monthly business review issued by the federal reserve bank of the sixth district.
 Retail and wholesale trade in May, according to figures reported by rep resentative firm throughout the district was not quite up to the level for April or May of last year. Employment probably is little lower than it has been during the earlier months of the year, and curtailment of textile manu- featuring has reached a rather pro- nounced state, being reflected in a low CT consumption of cotton, and a slack ening in dry goods trade, which is partly due to seasonable influences.
 Other business statistics for May, however, reflect more favorable con dition. Savings deposits continue to show small increases from month to month, and that the end of May s per cent greater than at the same time last year. Loans at the Federal Re serve bank, and at reporting member banks, are at the lowest point of this year, and debits to individual accounts show up larger than at this time last year.
 The volume of building permits is- sued in this district during May was the third Largest on record, and while United States showed decline, in the production of pig iron in the Alabama the output in May this year was the largest of any month since May of last year.

the first ballot. 1t was question from the sidelines, however, whether in some of them were dark horses or just goats standing in their own shadows.
 Most of them seem not only dark horses but doped as they left the bar rier.
 McAdoo was away fast, stole a big lead but hung badly at the quarter. Smith, well-fancied by the sporting talent, was off second best, but didn't run up to his morning workouts. He gained steadily, however. Backers looked for him to come through at the finish despite the fact he is not at his best on a dry track.
 There was a feeling he had too much weight up. Underwood was the first to break. He is essentially a sprinter and was soon distanced.
 John W. Davis got off to a bad start as did Cox. Both were fighting it out neck and neck at the furlong pole for fourth place.
 Ralston, bad post actor, got away in tangle. Jockey Taggare was in the saddle. Ralston is a distance runner and may close fast.
 Glass, Ralston, Walsh, Bryan, Ritchie, Robinson, Brown and Ferris were off in the ruck. They were blinkers.
 It was anybody's race.
 There was only one good fight dur ing the day. This occurred in the Missouri delegation between Charles NJ. Hay, chairman of the state com mittee, and Joseph B. Shannon, former chairman. Shannon had taken the platform and charged money had been used to buy McAdoo votes in the Missouri delegation.
 A few moments later Hay asked him: ''To whom are you pointing to whom?" or words to that effect.
 II said there was money used to get votes in the Missouri delegation" said Shannon.
 Any man who says got any money is (naughty .word) liar," said Hay.
 Shannon struck his fighting pose and punched Hay straight right to the jaw. Hays defensive work was very poor. They clinched. The police seperated them. Both men were very tired at the bell.
 The officials then stopped the bout. This was very unpopular with the crowd. It needed intertainment
 Attempts to bring both together in a return bout later in the day failed. If something isn't done to vary the monotony of the roll call the entertain ment committee will be given vote of censure.
 At 5 o'clock adjournment until 8 was taken to give the delegates time to recover their reason and cease trying to nominate 20 men for the presidency when there is but one presidency va cant.
 MOnotOny was assumed at o'clock. Governor Smith gained a tenth of a man on the first ballot. It is a ques- tion how to get this man to the polls in any such condition.

ARRIVES,
 BUT DELEGATES
 HE TO CELLAR
McAdoo Plan Fails To Work Out On One I'm
 pOrtant Point
By HERBERT COREY.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. June 30.-The scheme worked out just as McAdoo's manager thought it would, with one important exception. He gained votes through the first seven ballots just as had been arranged, but the votes did not pile up. That culminative eff feet which was to shake out cautious friends did not culmin2te. Ilhe cyclone came along but the #eak-kneed ones managed to get in the cellar. Instead of the pleasant total of 40 to go in the eighth ballot with, he had vulgar fraction less than AS, and then the eighth ballot fell off the wall.
 All Play Politics.
 Up to this moment, it had been a drama rather than contest. All hands had been playing political chess They had beeS feeling for weak spots and protecting their own Hanks By the end of the fourth the plot had been fairly well disclosed. It sent shock troops when the moment arrived, but it was also known that mines had been laid in his road. Iowa. for example, per sisted in reporting that while she voted for McAdoo, it was only because ma jority under the unit rule compelled her to do so. and there were others.
 Unexpected Climax.
 The eighth ballot was an unexpected climax, so far as the spectators were concerned. It had seemed likely that the deadlock might continue unbroken until the delegation leaders managed to get together for addition and division. But Michigan threw an egg in the pan. It had been voting solidly for Ferris, while studying the situation. In the eighth it gave five to McAdoo and eight to Smith. Wyoming followed suit with q change from McAdoo to Smith and the Canal Zone tried to split but was pre- vented under the customery construction of the unit rule. But it did succeed in making known that only half it's delegation loved McA6Oo, even if all voted for him, and that had disruupt- ing effect in so critical situation.
 Real Battle Faced.
 Then began a feeling for live ones among the minor candidates who had been timidly peeking through cracks in the fence. Nothing important had been revealed when the convention dispersed for the dinner recess, but the talk among the delegates was that the real hard work was just ahead. No one at that time barring the active partisian seemed to believe that either Smith or McAdoo had a chance.
 Though they'll both get ride" said the delegates.
 Neither did any one suggest who might have a chance. The guessing was as open as a basket, and with two dollar bills getting scarce among the pa tPiOts an almost frantic desire fo Oat home began to be reaveled. It's safe to say that when the chief nominee has been selected, there will be a mighty snappy job done in running down and tying candidate for the second place. To borrow a term of the rodeo, he will be bull-dogged

reduction in the cost of government.
 We must have no carelessness in our dealings with public property Or the ex- pendlture of public money Such a con- dltion is characteristic either of an un- developed people or a. decadent civiliza- tion. America is neither. It stands out strong and vigorous and mature. We must have an administration which is marked not by the inexperience of youth, or the fdtility of age, but by the character and ability of maturity. We have had the self control to put into effect the budget system. to live under it and in accordance with it. It is an accomplishment in the art of self gov ernment of the very highest importance It means that the American government is not a spendthrift and that it is not lacking in the force of disposition to organize and administer it's finances in scientific way.
 ''To maintain this condition puts us constantly on trial. It requires us to demonstrate whether we are weddings, or whether we have strength of char acter. It is not too much to say that it is measure of the power and in tegrity of the civilization which we rep resent. have firm faith in your ability to maintain this position, and in the will of the American people to sup port you in that determination. In that faith in you and them, I propose to persevere. I am for economy. After that l am for more economy. At this time and under present conditions that is my conception of serving all the people,"

will not have the actual figures until the books are finally balanced. The surplus accumulated at the end of each of the last three fiscal years has been applied to the reduction of public debt lin addition to the reductions required by law under the sinking fund and other acts. Without the aid of this recurring surplus the public debt would be $1,- 1OO,0O0,00Q more than it now stands, and the interest charges would be some $45, 100000 greater next year than we shall have to pay.
 Public Debt Reduced
 "Along with this reduction in ex- penditures has gone a progressive re- duction of the public debt with it's at tendant relief from the burden of in terest. On June 30, 1921, the public debt was S23,976. 6.0OO,000. In 1922 it had been reduced more than $1,000,- 100000 to $22964 100000. In 1923, it had been reduced more than $600.- 100000 to $22 349,0OO,000. In 1924, it has been reduced again by more than $1, ,O00 100000 and stands at an esti- mated amount of $21, ,254, ,000, 900, which is a reduction in three gears of $2722 100000 and means a saving of interest of more than $120,0 100000 each year.
 The President announced that he would submit estimates of not more than $3,OOO,0 100000 for expenditures in the fiscal year beginning July l, 1925. He fixed that figure as the maximum and instructed the officers under him to find a way to cut $S3 100000 from their present estimates.
 If this cut is made, Mir. Coolidge said, the surplus for the year covered by those estimates would approximate $1OS, S,000,000. He added that he had faith in the ability of the administra- tive heads to accomplish the purpose.
 We are setting the example for re- duction in the cost of government and for return to ordinary peace time conditions" he continued, with em- phasis. There can be no faltering, our duty is plain. As we have progressed in the last three years, so we must continue"
 "We owe this to the people of our nation. to the people who must pay with their toll. The relief which has recently been afforded must be only the beginning. So in all your efforts, in all your sacrifices, you must bear in mind that you are making them for the people of our country. There could be no nobler cause or one showing higher patriotism. Bear in mind al- ways that we are here as the servants of the people and that only as we serve them well and faithfully shall we succeed.

NEW YORK, June 30.-A perman- ent air mail service between New York and San Francisco starts tomorrow, when the first of relay of planes starts from each terminus, under sched- ules contemplating deliveries from coast toicoast in less than 36 hours.
 The schedule is announced for main tenance in all weather with continuous flying, the night routes being illuminat- ed with search lights to mark the path and beacon lights on landing fields. Tests last August were said to have proved the practicability of this scheme.
 At that time records of 26 hours and IA minutes east and % hours westward were established, although the new schedule for safety has heightened the schedule to 32 hours and five minutes eastward and 34 hours and 45 minutes westward.
