Adoo has elected to fight the field

Backed into a corner by the stra-

AL Smith and all the "dark horses /"
McAdoo is stalking everything on
his personal battalion of death''
whose loyalty in maintaining his
veto power will be tested today.
When the convention began the
third week of its deliberations this
morning there were two proposals
before the delegates representing
the net results of the week end adj

to enable representatives of the var
ious candidates TO develop a plan
for breaking the deadlock. ~ as.

n MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
New York, July IA nomination
for the presidency by the Democra
tic national convention appeared
within the range of possibilities to-
night when balloting will be re
sumed. The convention recessed
shortly before o clock this after.
noon after having taken its S3rd
ballot without result. The dele
lgates will convene again at $3.50
tonight after a series of conferences
between the leaders and there is
high hope that nominee will be
chosen before another adjournment
is taken.
The way has opened for the slid
ing of w. G.. McAdoo out of the
convention during the afternoon
The convention adopted the, report
of the conference peace committee
which released, insofar as the con-
vention is concerned, the delegates
from all, pledgges and obligations to
individual candidates. MeAdoo has
refused to concur in such recon-.
mendation but with its adoption the
wav has opened for swings away
from the Californian as the action
of the convention gives the dele;
gates an alibi for use at home.
Samuel M. Ralston now appears
as n strong possibility for the nomi7
nation. "a ~

Pat Harrison of Mississippi is aus
thority for tile statement that rep,
,esentatives of eight delegations
met this afternoon and decided on
Ralston ssride y, tonight, provid'
ing everything goes according TO
program. The strategy now IS 10
beat McAdoo down below the 4oo
mark until he no longer controls
veto power in the convention.
Several conferences as to the
maneuver in behalf of Ralston Will
be held between now and the time
the convention reassembles. ls
RalstOn is insistent that he be re-
garded as out of the convention. IT
the search of other delegations, for
n compromise candidate continues
however, and he shows the strength
that is claimed for him a display OF

Capt. ShOtlUeII
Facing Charge
EmbezzIement

| District Attorney Ernest r. Utley
filed complaint late today against
Captain William Shotwell, il
charge of the traffic squad in I'm
perial county, charging Shotwel
with embezzlement of state and
county funds. 1t is alleged that the
funds taken by him will total over
$1,000.
/ The first intimation of the dis
crepancy in the accounts in charge
of Captain Shotwell came ON Thurs
day of last week, when he was sum-
moned to appear before the district
attorney and was suspended from
the traffic department. At that
time he is said to have admitted
having used state and county funds
for personal requirements, but said
that he would make every effort to
replace the money within short
time.
He was taken to the county Jail
later in the day and held there pend
ing further action. Traffic Officer
Frank Ryan was placed in charge
of the traffic squad temporarily
until the county board of supervis-
ors could make recommendation
for filling the captains position
permanently.
Shotwell said Yesterday that he
was ready to go before officials
and promise to replace the money
he had taken at any time, and that
he had not realized the amount of
the deficiencies until Inspector
QUINN assigned to the traffic de-
Ipartments in the southern counties
of California, had begun to check
up.
Recently Bought Car
Shotwell recently purchased
new automobile, which he has been
using in the duties of his office. 1t
is said that about $500 paid on that
had been taken from the state funds
which came through his hands.
Mrs. Shotwell was notified of the
chargegs being brought against her
husband on Friday afternoon. She
and their children are staving in
cottage at Live Oaks. Mrs. Shot
well came to the Jail to see her hus
band early Saturday, morning, re-
turning to the mountains later in
the day.
Captain Shotwell has been in
charge of traffic work i'm Imperial
county. for some time, having been
on the squad before it was under
the supervision Of the state motor
vehicle department.. He ileft the
services of the county for a short
time in the spring to work with the
customs department at" 'Caleyieo,
but when the reorganization of the
department. occurred q few weeks
ago and the state department en-
tered into n contract with the coun
tv to direct the work of the squad,
Shotwell was recommended bv the
supervisors to head the squad.
1t is expected that the supervis'
ors will make recommendations for
n successor to Captain Shotwell
this afternoon.
I The preliminary hearing of Shot
well will probably he held this
week. .,..-........... MI. -

discount favorable result in the ap- preaching election. As has been the case for several weeks, a good many un- dertakings involving considerable tom mage, are being held in abeyance tenn porarily but the present undertone of the market suggests the general belief that most of these will be closed in the near future. Current ordering is well sustained with steel production un- changed at 60 to 65 per cent average. Mills in Chicago territory are finding it less easy to satisfy all demands for early shipment. This situation tends to give mills to the east a renewed oppor- tunity to compete for tonnage in the Chicago market, from which they have been virtually barred by the local price bases.
