DELEGATES BEGIN
USUAL WALK0UT
Complain of Hectic Life and
High Cost of Existing
in New York.
BY ROBERT T.. SMALL.

NEW YORK, July 2.-The delegates
have begun to walk out" on the
Democratic show at Madison Square
Garden. They have two complaints
One is that life in New York City
is entirely too hectic. The other is
hat the old money is giving out
Many convention visitors came to
Jew York whole week before the
proceedings began. 1t seems to them
they have been here for ages. The
average visit to New York in times
OF normally is seldom more than a
week. Therefore. it is not surprising
that there should be a general exodus
at this time
1t was the same at San Francisco
four years ago: The New York dele
CATION was about the first to leave
the convention fiat on it's back at
the Golden Gate. In that instance
the New workers. could not bear being
away from Broadway any longer So
1t all depends upon the point of view.
With the unit rule in effect in so
many state delegations it is not nee
essary for all the delegates to remain
TO the bitter end. New York, for
instance, has 90 votes in this CON
Vention. They have always been cast
as unit by one individual. Conse-
quently why have more than one del
egate present?
There has been some confusion
among the delegates and spectators
| over seemingly opposed rulings of
senator Walsh, the permanent chair
man. IL mas appeared to the I'M
ator Walsh has upheld the unit rule
and in another case has smashed it.
AS matter of fact, the apparently
| conflicting decisions have been on en-
tlrely separate questions.
For the first fifteen ballots Florida
had been voting as a unit for Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo. Then Delegate
Gilchrist announced that he wanted
to vote for Al Smith and intended to
| do so. Senator Walsh upheld him,
for it was shown that while the
Florida delegates had been instruct
| ed at the primary for McAdoo they
had not been bound by the unit rule.
In other states the delegates have
all questions. In other words, ii the
| delegation stands IL for McAdoo and
for Smith, the entire 20 votes must
be cast for McAdoo.
Chairman Walsh very pertinently
has held that If every state should
instruct" for some different candi-
! date and no one ever was permitted
| to break away from the instructions,
| there would be no chance on earth
ever to nominate a candidate. The
permanent chairman, who seems to
have a permanent job on his hands,
allowed it was a difficult task as it is.
Delegate Gilchrist created a laugh
when he began his argument. He
addressed the convention as:
Ladies and mere men,"
A number Of delegates thought he
said near men," and hee-hawed ac-
cordingly.

The galleries at Madison Square
Garden revert to type every now and
then. The Garden is mostly used for
prize fights. Therefore the audience
generally is in a mood to look down
upon gladiatorial conflict. That is
why the galleries call for Bryan.

AS matter of fact, Senator Walsh
gained more rapidly than that. He
viewed the votes cast for him with
amused tolerance and then went
visiting among the ladies in the
boxes back of the stage.

During the first nineteen ballots
of the convention the greatest gain
was made by one or the darkest OF
the dark horses-Senator Walsh OF
Montana. Senator Walsh started
with one vote on the first ballot. By
the time the nineteenth was reached
he had two votes-a clear gain of 100
per cent. Some one figured il Out
that if he maintained that ratio OF
gain the eminent senator from
Montana would be nominated fol
President on the 13,90Sth ballot.

FIGHTING FISH TRAP
 IN WASHINGTON

A campaign is on in Washington State to secure signatures for an initiative measure No. 51, which would abolish fish traps and purse seines in the fishing industry from the Waters of that State. F. l.. Car ter, editor of the Puget Sound Mail, of LaConner, is handling the cam paign in that town. It will be ne- cessary to secure 10000 signatures before it can be properly handled.
 Concerning the bill, MT. Carter said: 'It will permit all citizens of the State of Washington to fish for and catch salmon with gill net, troll, hook and line, the whole years around thereby giving employment to more
 ~, 10000 additional citizens in the state.
 "Millionaires of Chicago and other Eastern cities and their Washington agents will not be permitted to say to the people of the State of Wash lngton when and where they shall catch food salmon to support them selves and families.
 "This bill will drive out the million aire fish destroying agency, THE FISH TRAP"

THE FREIGHT RATES

One of the favorite sports of the clackers is to explain to the public that cost of transportation has mo- thing to do with the prosperity of the Territory.
 They parade long arrays of figure4 to show the amount of the freight on each article imported and under take to demonstrate that the com plaint about high freight rates is frivolous tWaddle over three cents on a hat, five cents on pair of shoes and seventeen cents on pair of rubber boots, etc.
 But the fact still remains that the amount taken out of Alaska by the y two American Steamship lines in the

If the Bureau of Fisheries does not take decided stand for the protection of our fisheries they will be out of job.
 Every business interest and every individual on the Pacific Coast and Alaska is directly interested in Alas ka's fisheries. They should be ag- excessively insstent that the Bureau of Fisheries properly function to insure the perpetuity of the indus try.
 Conservation to the Fish Barons means protection of their vested in- tereStS.
 Fishermen are arrested for viola tion of the fishery laws upon the word of the deputy fish wardens. The Fish Barons are not put under arrest for violation of the same laws until after their Henry O'Malley passes on the violation.

form of transportation charges has run considerable over $7,OOO,OOO for one year. If business this year con- tinues at it's present rate these two companies alone will earn a gross revenue from their Alaska business of not less than $S,OOO,OOO for this year.
 This is a tremendous tax upon the young industries of the Territory.
 When it is remembered that this tax is assessed proportionately much heavier against the permanent popu- lation than it is against the season. al industries, the handicap under which the Territory labors by req son of the high cost of transporta- tion, becomes so apparent as to be appalling.
 And, yet, there were members of the last legislature who labored with the sword at their side to maintain the present high freight rates-and the business men of Juneau applaud them.
 It may be a good idea for the pub lie to start to patronize a new class of merchants.

C& P. Telephone Company Presi-
dent Regards Conditions Unfavor-

BALTIMORE, May % (Special).-
r contin nuation of the present recess
sion in general business conditions is
fofeseen by A. E. Berry, president of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company, according to an an
nouncement by the company here.
In commenting on the business out
look for the imm ediate future, Mr..
Berry said:
I'm the conduct of our business it
IS important that we keep in very
close touch with the trend of condi-
tiops in the territory which we serve.
IN that area. which comprises the
states of Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia and the District of Co
1unbia, while the demand for tele-
Dhone service is continually growing
and new telephones are constantly
being added, we have discerned in
general business conditions during
he last several months some reces-
sion from the prosperous conditions
previously existing.
The outlook. as we see 1T. is for q
continuation of this recession in the
Immediate future. However, we be-
fieye that business is on funda-
mentally sound basis at the present
time and that the period of reces-
,jon is only temporary, and should
be followed within few months with
an improved trend toward more pros
perous conditions.

FEAR FOR WHEAT CROP.

PARIS, May 22.-The fear that
French peasants may forsake the
growing of wheat for more profita bic
rrops dominated a meeting of the
Academy of Agriculture yesterday

cmy. pointed out, that there were
I4O'o00,00O quintals Of wheat now
available on the market furnished
by the United States. Canada, Au.
straiia, India and Argentina. OF
this quantity, he estimated. only 65,-
600. 600 ouintals would be absorbed by
The world consumption, leaving more
than half left over at the time OF the
next harvest. F..
M Hitter stressed the fact that If
mo measures were taken to prevent
the importation of wheat into France;
prices at the next harvest time would
drop sharply, would imperil the
French farmers and cause them TO
cease planting. He urged the acad-
emy to make strong representations
