NAMING OF DAWES
GIVES Big THRILL
Republicans Select Their Vice
President Under Conditions
Unparalleled in Political
Conventions.

Cleveland, O.-The events prelimis
nary to the naming of Dawes were as
dramatic as anything political that
has happened in generation.
It was only Vice Presidency that
was at stake-something usually ac-
complishable in hurry after most
Of the convention delegates have
started home, but this time an inter-
est was engendered far beyond that
brought out in most COMETS for the
Presidency.
In the enthusiasm begotten Of sat-
isfaction at getting out Of an unusual
and unforeseen situation SO well, the
nomination was made-not unani-
nous but as near 1t as convention
could be with Wisconsin delegation
an integral and irrevocable part.
After President Coolidge had been
easily nominated on the first ballot,
only Wisconsin holding out against
him, the fight for the second place
began.
Former Gov. Frank o. Lowden, OF
Illinois, won in stampede Of dele
gates to him that ignored his explicit
and often repeated insistence he would
not accept He did not and after q
recess Of two hours, during which the
wires were being burned up over the
country, the convention came back
and nominated Brig. Gen. Charles G.
Dawes over Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover. The nomination was
u,ada hU oDcIo m q fiOu offar fha Cno~a-
tary had polled heavily in the early
balloting.
dominates Dawes
The Californian started out gal
lantly with string Of states, giving
him all or most of their votes. But
when the Middle West was reached
on the roll call, the swing to Dawes
was irresistible, and when the votes
Of Texas were cast for him he had
won his majority, and great shout
Of triumph went up to mark his choice.
During the recess, which was taken
to 8 o'clock p. M, Of the last day, the
word came from the leaders that it
must be either Hoover or Dawes.

Hoover" William M. Butler. Mr..
Coolidge's campaign manager, ex-
claimed to Senator Reed. of Pennsyl-
vania.
at can't be done, 1t must be
Dawes" the Senator retorted, and
seventy-eight votes from his state
backed him up.
The jettisoning of Hoover for Hell
an Maria" of reparation fame was
just such a reaction against the strict
rule imposed by the Coolidge leaders
as had been the nomination of Low
den.
With the nomination Of Hell n
Maria" Republicans generally were
delighted.
Dawes makes up as campaigner
what he may lack in political expert
ence. He has not run for elective
office for many years, since he was
double-crossed when a candidate for
the nomination for United States Sen.
'ator some twenty years ago.
This makes the fifth time he has
been drafted, however, for public
service, first as Comptroller of the
Currency, then as a member OF
Pershing's staff in the World War.
later as Director of the Budget, and
then to help solve the reparation
problem which had dehed the best

MARRIAGE is ANNULED.
Wife Wins Suit From "Guilty
Party" in Former Divorce Suit.

Justice Hoehling Of the District Su-
preme Court yesterday decided that
Mrs. Florence G. Brown Is entitled to an
annulment of her marriage to George
w. Brown, which was celebrated at
Baltimore, Md, August p. 1922. Mrs.
Brown lived with her husband about
year before she learned that he had
been the guilty party" in a divorce
proceeding in the District Of Column
bia. She then asked that the mar
riage be annuled. The wife declared
she knew nothing of the divorce pro-
ceedings and thought Brown a
widower.
The court held that the language
of the local statute which forbids the
guilty party to remarry means just
what it says and makes illegal Sec
ond marriage contracted by him. At-
torneys James p. Farmer and M. F..
Bischoff appeared for the wife. while
Attorney r. Newton Donaldson was

STORAGE SEEN AID
IN COAL COST CUT
American Engineering Coun.
Gil Argues for Regulation
of Purchases.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 17.-Coal will be
cheaper and more plentiful If storage
is made a general practice by con-
sumers, the coal storage committee OF
the American Engineering Council
said in it's report made public here
last night. The remedy for the coal
situation is in the hands of the con-
sumers, who must be educated TO store
it, the committee says. adding that
insurance companies will carry poll
.cies on coal in storage and coal in
storage can be financed by banks
like any other commodity. while labor
will benefit according to the commit
tee, by the bringing about of regular
mine operations, the chances OF coal
famine being mnimized.
The report was given out by James
Hartness. former Governor of Yer
mont and president of the council,
whose administrative board meets
here today. The report was prepared
by a main committee headed by w.
J.. Abbott of Chicago. and aided by
more than 400 engineers in all parts
of the country, working in co-cper-
alton with the United States Coal
Commission. the Department of Com
merce. the Geological Survey and thu
Bureau of Mines.
Among the facts disclosed is that
for seasonal storage. from to 10
per cent of the annual consumption
is all that is required. the report
explaining:
IF this amount is supplemented by
additional reserve storage of no more
than per cent, there will result an
accumulation of some S3.000,OOO tons
of coal in storage by September 80
OF each year"
Storage Held Necessary.
Declaring storage of coal to be nee
essary as an aid in solving the ma
tional coal problem and in securing
an adequate supply Of coal when
needed, the report says:
III each coal consumer will adopt
the policy of annually purchasing
coal on a uniform monthly delivery
basis. there will result automatically
sufficient seasonal storage to guar
antee coal to the consumer s needed
Furthermore. this policy will bring
about a uniform demand for coal
whereby coal producers and carriers
may establish uniform and standard
production and shipment schedules.
1t will also remove the evils of inter
mittent operation of coal mines. fire.
. quent panicky market conditions and
coal shortage due to inability of the
carriers to meet peak demands.
Equipment has been developed and
may be secured to meet any storage
situation or requirement. The cost
of such equipment may be as low as
a few cents per ton of capacity.
storage of coal presents no seri-
Gus risk of loss from breakage. spon-
taneous combustion or loss of heat
value or firing qualities. All kinds of
coal have been and may be sue
ceSsfully stored. The cost of storage
per ton, including fixed charges on
equipment, maintenance and opera
ton expense, and Interest on invest
ment in coal AS we'll as taxes and in
surance in most instances is from so
cents to 1o cents per ton yearly for
large storage plants and from 81 to

RED PRESS IS BLAMED
FOR NORWAY BANK RUN
Great Institution Closes Doors
When Malicious Rumors Cause
Anxiety Among It's Patrons.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
CHRISTIANIA, October 17.-The
Norsehandels Bank yesterday stopped
all payment, owing to heavy run on
its deposits caused by malicious rumors
started by the Communist press. On
account of various losses, the bank
last year reduced it's capital from
$50. 100000 to $40,000,000.
In April. it was decided to guar
antee loans to the bank through the
Norwegian State Bank amounting to
$54,000.000, partly on securities and
partly on an ordinary state guarantee
With these extensive government
guarantees, there is no danger for
depositors, and there is security, at
least in part, for the shareholders
Finance Minister Holmboe says that
there Is no reason for anxiety.
