NEW YORK SELECTED
 BY THE DEMOCRATS
Big Convention to Be There After
 56 Years

Washington, Jan. i5.--A novelty in more than a half century of Ameri- can policies-a national convention in New York city-is to be presented in the 1924 campaign.
 Historic Madison Square Garden in New York will be the scene of this years democratic national convention. New York was chosen yesterday by the democratic national committee after a spectacular contest with Chi eago, San Francisco and St. Louis. The convention will open June 24, probably week after the republican convention at Cleveland ends.
 First Time in 58 Years.
 New York, for the first time in 56 years, was voted the convention by after a stirring combat with San Francisco, Chicago and St. Louis. It took three ballots and checks for 1000 to take the democratic gath ering to Gotham, the final ballot giv- ing New York 57 votes, San Francisco 40 and St. Louis 6, after Chicago had been withdrawn from the contest
 Many of the Chicago and St. Louis votes were thrown to New York on the deciding ballot, after the second vote had given New York AT, San Francisco go, Chicago IS and St. Louis II. The first vote was New York 39, San Francisco 23. Chicago 22 and St. Louis IS. New York's &c., lection was finally made unanimous upon motion of San Francisco's spokesman.

SUBMITS PLAN FOR BOX PEACE AWARD
City Ave. Painter Shows Remark. able Success in Self Education

Among the many thousands of plans submitted for world peace in an effort to win the Edward w. Box prize 9f Sl00. OO0 was one sent in by George \. Hamlin of City avenue, this city.
 MT. Hamlin's proposal is towards the adoption Of universal language and understanding and proposal 10 make war so distasteful that no na- ton will enter it unless forced 10 do so.
 A summary Of his plan follows;
 This pan rests upon the assumption that the United Sta'es Of America is the pivot around which the civilized world Of today revolvcs; and upon a universal brotherhood based upon universal understanding and language.
 In the development O. this scheme innovations Of world wide scope. in which all the world may take part; and revolutionary readjustments Of d startling nature, within the nited States, are recommended.
 Universal bureaus Of information for the enlightenment ow all the peo- pie Of thes earth, in order 10 prepare the world for Democracy and to safe guard the greatest Democracy thus far devised, is one innovation.
 Immigration.
 Those bureaus or agencies would apply the sieve to our immigration at its source: teach nobler incentives of

MAYBE HE REALLY DOES
Count Given Idea That He is Support ing His Wife, Who Formerly Was Miss MiIliccnt Rogers.

New York, Jan. 16.-Count Ludwig Salm Non Hoogstraeten was given the impression that he is supporting his wealthy bride, formerly Miss Millicent Rogers, without the aid of her par ents, Col. and Mrs. Henry Huddleston Rogers.
 Answering questionnaire submitt- ed by newspapers last night, the count said:
 Has it ever occurred to the repre- sentatives Of the press that the hns- band supports the wife? It is not up to the families"
 A report that Mrs. Grace Montgom- cry Coffin. to whom the count was said 10 have been engaged before his marriage to Miss Rogers January s. was planning to bring suit against him. was branded as nonsense.
 She congratulated us and wished us luck" he said.
New Britain herald., 1924-01-16
Solution of World Problems.

Under this head it is proposed that we assume such an attitude towards the rest of the world. in reference to war, that war would be much less alluring inas1nuch as we would abso- ulteiy sever all relations with coun- tries at war without our express sanction.
 War Debts of the World War.
 From a sense of gratitude for the protection afforded Us by the allies. at a time when Germany could have done us great damage. we should fla cilitate the readjustment Of the en- tire world, by forgiving our debtors, 'in part at least.
 Mr. Hamlin, a painter in the em- ploy Of local concern, peculiarly enough closely resembles the late Theodore Roosevelt. He is a man who is self educated to a remarkable degree. Refusing a college education when he was young he set about later to make up for his neglect and so suc- ceeded that he has become an expert accountant, speaks four or five lan- guages tiuently, including the univer- Sd language of Esperanto. and has an intimate knowledge of ancient and modern history, including the philos- ophers of ancient Greece. He is a keen student Of world events and keeps himself so well posted that he thinks and talks in international terms. He is writer and a poet and under familiar pen name has been d frequent contributor to the col ,,,,ns o, Tho s.Iarold Ha I,.e q library Of literary classics, subscribes to the leading newspapers of the country and quotes literature with the knowledge and confidence of an expert.

'GUNPOWE2' TAYLOR COMING TO BIBLE GLASS ASSEMBLY
Former Pastor Here Will Lead Singing at Convention March
 22 and 23

A letter was received in this city today from Rev. A. P. Taylor, Of Greensburg, Pa., formerly of New Britain. Mir. Taylor, when song leader Of Everyman's Bible class of this city was affectionately known to the men of that class because of his enthusiasm and tireiess energy, as "Gunpowder," and so well did he ap- preciate this tribute that his letters to New Britain contain the one signature, "Gunpowder.f
 He states that he has received an invitation from Executive Secretary Robert B. Skinner of the committee arranging for a convention of Bible to be here and lead the singing on March 22 and 23. He has accepted the invitation and will be present. That the former minister is making good in his new parish is indicated by a clipping from the front page of a Greensburg paper:
 Sunday was a big day at the Church of the Open Door. and the pastor, Rev. A. E. Taylor, was very busy man. and also a happy one. Twenty-four new members were added at the morning service and II were received into church fellowship in the evening, making a total of 35 added to the church roll. In the evening baptism by immersion was one of the features.
 As the regular custom at this evangelistic services are held each Sunday evening. At last even- ing's services there were three con versions. The capacity of the church was taxed to accommodate the large desiring to attend"
