Reports From Conference Rooms of Democratic Party Show Little Indica- ton of Agreement That Will Avoid Open Battle.

New York, June 2s.-Reports com ing from the conference rooms of democratic party leaders carly this afternoon showed no immediate pros pect of an agreement that would keep the k. K. k. issue off The floor of the national convention.
 Going into consultation in various grounds as the forenoon convention session ended, the party chiefs strug- gled desperately for n solution of the problem, Some stlll hoped for sue cess but others were predicting open ly just before thc platform committee resumed It's session that no agree ment would be possible.
 Should all their efforts fail the committee probably wiu submit two reports. one by the majority con dcmning the klnn without naming fl | and one by a fighting. unrompron'is. | sP mtnaritS. directing Speriae al. | taak against the organization. Then ! the convention will choose between 1 the two proposals after . debate.
 Efforts were made while the lead { ITS were in conference again io can- vass sentiment among the individual members of several delegations but in the main the discussions and peace ! efforts were confined tn the dozen or | SO Of chieftains who are dominant fig urcs in the convention.
 Meetings Impractical
 The chairman Of one large delega- , ton when it was suggested that the delegation try 10 get together on q l comproms declared that if such a meeting were called it wonld last for a week
 There was disposition on the part of some Of the smith leaders 10 favor a plan to postpone action on the klan plank until after the presidential nom | nee had been chosen. In that man ncr. if was pointed out. the candidate l could give his advice whether the klan should hc named in the platform. 1 The New York delegation Was said 1 strongly to favor naming the klan. and Franklin D. Roosevelt memhpr or i the smith campaign. said .he dele gates themselves should decide the klan question without mixing it with Candidacies.
 "1f the question Is brought up on the floor of the convention" Mir. Roosevelt said the votes commanded ] by the various candidates will split unless some Smith supporters will vote to name the kian and others will not. McAdoo and Underwood delegates also will be found divided.
 Therefore. there can be DO issue oter the K. K. K. ss between thc candidates personally"

Wesley Warrington of HarbesOn. He
and two brothers, with a party of
friends were on a fishing trip at the
beach and decided to go in bathing.
Young Warrington was caught in the
whirlpool at the end of the old jetty

where it makes into the Delaware
Bay. Efforts were made to rescue
him and in the attempt Reuben Hud-
son came near being drowned also.
The body was recovered in about two
hours after the accident. A large
crowd of people were in bathing and
on the beach at the time of the trag-
edy. Warrington was unable to swim
and when Hudson and James H.
Warrington, his brother, attempted
to grab him as he came up, they
were seized and came near being
pulled under.

SOFT GOALS BIG CHANCE

Considered on all grounds, the soft
coal industry now has its greatest
2ci0r unity to =, an Ii, :s ur house
Th. new wage acrecmcn+ in the CEN
trail competitive field was signed with
out protracted struggle and it was
at least what the union wanted. There
was no determined opposition among
the operators. Both congress and the
executive branches of the government
show tendency to keep their hands
off the coal business, so that it may
have the chance to work out its own
salvation, in conformance with the
high demands of public policy. If
all sides can not solve their difficulties
now and guarantee a low cost of coal
and industrial peace unmarked by vio-
lence of any kind, the public ultimate
ly may be expected to take hand
through congress and the industry will
be saddled with that bogey of all in
dustries regulation. From Carl c.
