DISCONTINUE E
MEETINGS FOR
I.V. MELON MEN

The meetings for distributors of
eamtaloupe have been discontinued
at the Bureau Markets headquarters
in the Barbara Worth hotel build
ing, though the market service will
continue for some time. Failure of
distributors to attend is given as
the reason for stopping the meet
ings. George r. Prince who has
been in charge of the gatherings
has departed for Phoenix, Arizo-
ma, where he will be stationed dur
ing the Arizona cantaloupe season.
The Arizona harvest is rather
slow in coming in as to date the
shipments have not exceeded 20
cars. Rain was reported Yesterday
in the section of the state where
most of the melons are grown and
may be the cause of some slight
damage. This information is un-
official regarding the rain, being
more or less of rumOr according
to c. f. Schultz of the local bu-
reau of markets office. The local
office will be not issue the regular
cantaloGpe reports on July 4, and
6, though service win he as usual
on Monday.

A picturesque "set'' was used by
T. HAYES Hunter in his direction of
Rex Beach S story, Recoil, = com
ing to the Palace Airdome on July
4. 1t was built over two thousand
years ago.
1t is an ancient, decaying village
in the Maritime Alps, in Southern
France, and il was built by the
Romans from the rocks of the noun
tain on which it stands. The Ro-
mans were at that time pushing
their way northward through Eu-
rope, conquering the territory and
leaving their wounded behind to
populate and rebuild the villages
they ravaged.
MANY of the scenes in which
Mahlon Hamilton and Betty Blythe
are starred take place in this actual
location. The wrinklel inhabitants
whose speech still is Il mixture of
French and Latin, played minor
parts in the productions.

S.P. TO TAKE OVER
Ell .PASO ROAD
Continued from page ]

IN Arizona, connecting with the pre-
sent main line, that will result in
putting Phoenix and the Salt River
Valley upon the main line and will
give the Southern Pacific company
the benefit OF double track ser
vice through tie larger. part of the
territory it traverses in Arizona.
This new line viii leave the pre-
sent main line of the Southern Pa
clfic at or near Picacho, 46 miles
west of Tucson, and then proceed
along rhe San Carlos irrigation pro
ject past the prehistoric Casa Grande
rains, entering the fertile Casa
Grandc Valley which possesses great
development possibilities, and 'thei
acroSs the ella River. Paralleling
the 'iila it win serve the well de-
ve!opcd Chandler section of the Salt
River Valley connecting there with
the branch lines of the Arizona
Eastern railroad, which is a subsidi
airy alrcf Gy eoustructed by the South
err Pacific company. This line is
to be reconstructed and win be used
through Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe
as pant of the new line to its wester-
~ terminus ut HasSayampa. From
Hassayampa the new line will he
constructed southwesterly not quite
paralleling the present main line of
the Son:heru Pacific but slightly
converging to a point Of Junction
"e"r bomr, which is 23 miles east
of Yuma.
From Tucson westward the line Of
the FL PaSo and Southwestern sys-
tenn with its branches serving the
territory lying south of the Southern
Pacific main line both iii southeast
erlv Arizona and southwestern New
Mexico becomes part of the South
ern Pacific system, thus giving
double service between the cities of
Tucson and FL Paso, which are not
only important railway centers but
centers of great business activity
generally.
"Aplication was filed today with
the interstate commerce commits
sion asking authority TO construct
this new line, which viii be under
taken in the name of the Arizona
Eastern railroad, Ca subsidiary of
the Southern Pacific because of the
branches already in is name reach
ING PhocriX. If the merger of the
Southern Pacific and the El Paso &
Southwestern railroad received ap-
proyal the new main line construc-
tion will bp undertaken at once and
pushed to conclusion. Two years af-
Ter the certificate is granted the
Southern Pacific win have (exeept
for 64 miles) n double track service
from FL PasO TO Yuma which is a
distanek of 800 miles.
..The new lines to be constructed
and the service that will follow are
in themselves great factors toward
the development of this rich terri
tory. The cities of this section
notably FL Paso, Deming, Douglas,
Bisbee, Lordsburg, Tucson, Mesa,
Tempe Phoenix and Yuma will find
their interests surely advanced by
the construction of this line and by
the development that will follow the
enlarged railroad activities. -

legation, n murmur: ."There goes

ilance of Kisses marks his progress
Delegates Going Home +
The delegates appear to be grow
ing angrier as the vote of state
+. after state shows little or no
change. Everyone is inexpressably
worried and wishes it were over.
More than 100 delegates have gone
home and others are going TO have
to go if something doesn' t happen
soon.
| Through it all, the milling and
confusion and shouting on the
crowded floor, the cheers and the
+! apathetie demonstrations and the
almost noiseless waving of colorel
/ handkerchiefs in the California sec
tion. Bryan moves beningly..
The confident, serene smile Of
the old campaigner is ON his broad
eOuntenance. His brow umruffled.
even when the galleries hiss. and
shout. The commOner moves from
delegation to delegation. He has
time to talk to the ladies. He would
undoubtedly kiss the babies if
there were any.
Other leaders are more vigorous
and apparently much more bust
ness-like in the way they rush
! about, but Bryan never hurries. His
is the confidence of past success.
And the very way the galleries
! .ieer him, shows they fear him.
Ralston Picks Up t
The McAdoo people are working
hard on Virginia and Arkansas, but
Glass and Robinson managers did
not think their candidates were out
Of if yet and wanted to hang on.
On the 49th ballot, Senator Sam
uel Ralston of Indiana, began TO
pick up outside votes.
When the fiftieth ballot was TAX
en- the convention was on the wav
toward equalling or surprising all
previous records of balloting in De
mocratic conventions. Tt already
had passed every record with the
exception of that made in 1860.
That year the convention began in
Charleston, S. C. Stephen A. Doug
las was the ultimate nominee. Fifty
seven ballots were cast at Charles
ton, Douglas leading at the end and
then the convention adjourned to
Baltimore where Douglas won. on
the second ballot.
After Mississippi had shifted to
Ralston, giving the Hoosier his first
block of votes outside Indiana, his
home state, Senator Pat Harrison,
head of the delegation, declared
Mississippi was now "home. "
"rWe are going to stick to Rails
ton to the end,' Harrison told the
United Press. He is the most
available candidate. We are for
him. When we went to Ralstont we
went TO the home we We been head
ed for all along. Many other de
legations are going to come along
with us before long.
Eliminate Favored Sons
While the 51st ballot was being
taken McAdoo managers conferred
beneath the speakers stand and
decided on a procedure looking. to
the elimination of favorite sons. At
the conclusion fo the 5lst ballot,
Potter, of South Dakota, was
scheduled to present resolution
calling for the elimination of the
with the least vote ON
each succeeding ballot. Iowa and
Kansas passed on the 51st ballot.
Iowa, it was reported, intended TO
lift its unit rule aud see what hap

BITTER AND BROKE.
MANY DELECATE ES'
START FOR Home
Confined from nane y


4 conference and casting of bal
lots goes on and on.
On the background now is Sen.
ator Samuel Ralston of Indiana.
Missouri and Mississippi went to
him this afternoon-vo voluntarily. so
Tom Taggart, his manager, declares.
There are Ralston votes in other
delegations but Ralston has not vet
been given his i"ride.'
Tuggart insists that he will not
come out mtil Smith and McAdoo
are convinced that neither can be
nominated. Then Taggart believes
the convention will turn to Ralston
as thc only possible compromise.
The convention is bitter and
broke, Delegates are beginning to
count their pennies and many have
already left for home.
Women are Mad Now
The one arm lunch rooms are
more popular than Fifth avenue and
Broadway's 5 gilded palaces now.
Quarrels are frequent on the floor.
A welcome adjournment taken. at
4:9O this afternoon until $3.50 to-
night probable saved the convention
from even more bitterness. The wo-
men are in it up to their ewes. Ge-
ueyicve Clark Thompson, daughter
of the la;e Champ Clark, as busy as
a bee on the floor throughout the
afternoon fighting McAdoo. Mar
garet Wilson, daughter of the late
president came to the floor to work
IN McAdoo s behalf. There was a
lively row in the Louisiana delega
tion between Mrs. Thomson and An
toinette Funk, a MeAdoo worker.
Starting slowly this morning with
few people in the gallery. the CON
vention gradually worked itself up
into a state of ''m&dD during the
afternoon. There was talk OF an
effor to reach an agreement where
bv the lowest candidate on each
ballot would be dropped out But
George Brennan and other fought
this.
They very pointedly told those
who favored such Il scheme that
even if it was adopted by the con
venti0n it could not be enforced.
There were rumOrs of possible con
ferences during the recess this
evening and some deals are likely
before balloting again resumes at
$50.
Iowa Holds Off
Taggaf. decided it w"s too early
to give the RalstOn boom real
push, so on the 54th ballot, when
Iowa was going 20 throw its full
vote to Ralston, word was sent the
Iowa delegation 80 hold off a while.
Iowa consequently voted again for
McAdo0.
The McAdoo managers had q con-
ference during the 9th ballot and
decided to act for adjournment un-
til night. They a.So considered plans
for attempting to have The c9nVen-
tion approve Il rule permitting the
dropping of the lowest name after
each ba,lot.
This would require a. suspension
Of the rule necessitating - Two
thirds majority. 1t certainly would
be opposed by the ami-MrAdoo
forces. Even if the new rule for
eliminating candidates were l,assed
it could be ignored, according TO
the convention parliamentarian, on
a ruling made by Senator Robinson
when chairman of the Democratic
convention at San Francisco, four
years ago.
The opposition leaders agreed with
McAdoo 5 leaders to recess after the
J4th ballot until tonight.
