Pilot Ii Forced Trip
From va. Capes To
New Orleans

NORFOLK, Va. Sept. 26.
Captain ]. F.. Russell, Of the
Maryland pilot boat, stationed
off Cape Henry, reached Nor
folk today after an enforced
trip to New Orleans on the
Dutch steamer Gassterdyk.
When the vessel reached the
Virginia Capes from Baltimore
at the height Of the tropical
storm last week seas were rum
ming mountain high and the PILOT
was unable to return to his ship.
The Gassterdyk had q rough
passage all the way to New
Orleans, Captain Russell reports.
Of Supreme Court judges was only
seven, a bill was actually reported
out OF committee to sthe Senate
laying down the rule that no law
should be declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court unless five Of
It's seven members cOncurTed in the
declaration.
Thus We see that even Senator
Borah finds ii difficult to think Of
anything that our ancestors did not
think OF. and thus we see that
people who are shocked by Sena.
tor Borah ought not to attack
modernisrnp but ought to put the
blame just simply on the eternal
nature Of the human mind.

It must next be noted, however,
that the semi-curbers Qike Senator
Borahl are ali OF them great ad.
mirers Of our judicial system. They
are as much SO as President Cool.
tdge or Mr.. Davis or General
Dawes. They feFvently and fixedly
believe that the Supreme Court
should and must have the power
to compare q statute with the Con.
stitution and to uphold the Con.
stitution against the statute II
there is a conflict between them.

The 1 answer Is that these semi
CURRIERS' think that the Supreme
Court is failing to. live up to )ne
of it's own rules.
This rule has been declared by
the Supreme Court ever since the

1t Is as follows:
Since Congress- is supposed III

Bride is Accused of
 Sending Poison Candy
 To Other Rival by Mail

PORTLAND, Mar. 25-Mrs. Nettie K. LindIey, recent bride of port en- gineer, was arrested here Saturday on a federal warrant based on grand jury indictments charging her with having sent poison and improper letters thru the mail.
 The compaint charges that Mrs. Lindley, then Miss Nettie Clubine, sent box of candy containing poison to Miss Millie Wassenmiller, who has since become the bride of Prof. Paul Hillman, teacher in Zion Lutheran school here. Miss Clubine and Hill man, it is charged, had been friends prior to the professors engagement to Miss Massenmiller. Jealousy is the motive ascribed to Miss Clubine in sending the poison and number of objectionable letters to her alleged ri- val. A return address on the box of candy which indicted that it had not come from Hillman, aroused Miss Wassenmiller's suspicion because it was erroneous, according to officers who investigated the case. As result Miss Wassenmiller did not eat it and subsequent examination of the con- tents of the package disclosed the poi son.
 The alleged acts on which the indict- ments are based took place early last year. Since that time Miss Wassen- miller has married Hillman and Miss Clubine has married Lindley.

In the aisle running at right angles
to the platform 1t was the same.
Unofficial estimates put the audi.
ence at around 10000.
Roosevelt tired visibly as he pro.
ceeded. His face was drawn but
he smiled continually. He was
standing on his crippled limbs
probably longer than he has since
he was stricken with paralysis and
the physical strain Of the effort
showed plainly in his race.
Roosevelt finished at 1898 and
the pandemonium that had gone be.
fore was nothing to the inferno Of
noise and enthusiasm that then
began.
New York's standard was
snatched up in a twinkling and IL

a human battering ram Of progress
New Jersey swung m behind New

The floor became a fluttering,

thousands Of hands.
McAdOO States Parade.
Vermont came in and so did Iowa
supposedly a McAdoo State
Nevada, Utah, North Dakota all
paraded for McAdoo, but they came
into the Smith show.
Great banners bearing Governor
Smiths picture appeared as II by
magic in the hands Of the marchers.
The din was continuous, terrific,
deafening. The boys in the gal.
leries, with their horns. bells,
sirens and other noise-making de-
vices, saw to that.
The band was footing madly at
1.-THE Sidewalks OF New York." but
no one heard it. They couldn't.
After the demonstration had gone
on for ten minutes, a uniformed
band reached the floor and footed
its way around the aisles.
Nathan Straus, the venerable
philantrophist, was observed strug.
Cling in the milling mass Of dele.
gates in the aisles. despite his
seventy odd years.
Children Seize ROstrum.
Old and young were there. There
were even newsboys in that milling
crowd that circled the floor in never

marching for AL and carrying his
picture high above their perspiring
heads.
A ten-year-old boy dressed as

ing to the average man in his strug.

from all convention discussions.
The fanaticism that demands for
this nation a government based on
edicts Of foreign countries or for
eign court is, fortunately, becoming
feebler, fading into the background,
dying out as ping pong, another
European importation did, after a
short session.
Senator Walsh. fighting man from
Montana, calls the convention to
order little before half past eleven,
while one of the Al Smith glee
clubs sings close harmony in the
southwest corner Of the top gallery.
1t Is good, loud, close harmony.
reminds you Of John L. Sullivan.
when he used to row q boat and
sing "Oh, White, White Moon
It shook and startled the moon.
William w. Porter, C. S. B., a
Christian Science Instructor says,
I'VE shall have q few moments of
silent prayer followed by the Lord 8
prayer, spoken by ALL"
It's a good idea and new. For
two minutes everybody can pray
for or against any body he likes
and no feelings are hurt.
It's q good way to circumvent
and defeat Malicious animal mag
netism," which is rampant in this
atmosphere.
Mr.. Porter has wonderfully fine
deep voice, and a powerful face.
For all his Christian Science, you
would not care to pick a quarrel
with him.
Mrs. Eddy, whose spirit is pre-
sumably not far away, button some
other plane" would be well salts
fled with her representative. This
is gathered from a Christian Science
friend, who knows.
Senator Walsh has put aside his
formal costume of the first day,
black GETAWAY" coat, etc. A short
blue jacket. white flannel trousers
make him cooler and happier.
Mrs. May Kennedy, honorary
vice chairman Of the national Dem
ocratic committee is reading a
speech explaining what she thinks
this convention should be.
You gather that 1t ought to rep.
resent the masses Of the people
and not the privileged classes
which sounds fair enough. 1t has
this advantage. 1t pleases the
down-trodden masses, and Il does
not worry the privileged classes.

That peerless leader owes a large
box Of candy, tied with pink. rib
bon, to each of these ladies'. It's
over now and Governor Sweet goes
on with his speech.
He tells the crowd truthfuIly, that
McAdoo deserves credit for the Fed

control OF money out Of Wall Street
and gave it to the people,"
The gallery Smith crowd en-
deavors to howl him down. Some
yelling, "Oil, oil, OIL"
Governor Sweet retires to wait
for order. McAdoo did do moro
than any other man to put through

fought by all the bankers and
which has already saved them from

Governor Sweet resumes his talk,
promising mot to say anything

That is cheered and it looks as

McAdoo did more than that, by
the way, and probably, Governor
Sweet, will mention it.
McAdoo resisted the demand of
the bankers that liberty bonds must
bear five and a quarter per cent
interest and kept the loan to four
and half and four and a quarter.
Yes, Sweet has just come to that
and says that McAdoo has already
saved the people more than two
million dollars in interest.
He says McAdoo is the natural
