Text of Platform
The platform follows in full:

By Death at Capital

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Alvey A.
Adee, second assistant secretary OF
state and patriarch of the American
diplomatic service, died today at his
home here.
Mr.. Adee, who was 80 years old,
had a continuous service in diplo
macy covering fifty-four years. He
was conceded to have possessed the
most intimate knowledge of any sin.
gle individual of American diplomacy
and the foreign relations of the
United States generally. For thirty
eight years he had held the post OF
second assistant secretary.
A series of complications incident
to advanced age caused Mr.. Adee's
death. Owing to his falling strength
he had been relieved of routine du-
ties for several years past and had
served as advisor extraordinary on
all important questions affecting
presidents, or diplomatic usage or
custom.
During the war he was kept busy
disgusting the new questions OF
policy and international diplomacy
raised by the changing relations OF
the United States with the beliger.s
ents
Secretary Hughes paid him this
tribute:
"The death of Mr.. Adee brings to
an end a service which is UNI

in the history OF the Department. OF

Intimate knowledge of our foreign
relations easily held first place. Dur
ing a long period and until his health
failed, he was the constant and most
trusted advisor of secretaries OF

the government has never hae,
more faithful and competent sery.

MAY BE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

ident and vice president. 1t may be
a long way off. The serious objec-
ton is that it would give a few
big states the power to control and
take away the voice and influence
that now gives the smaller states
somewhat the same voice in elect
ing a president that it has in the
United States senate. Maine and
Delaware and the Dakotas will be
slow to surrender that power.
But even if there is no mmedl-
ate way to improve the method OF
popular action, discussion will yet
make a way or find one.

Poor Switchman Gets
Million and Half for
Accidental Discovery

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, July s.
The secret of hardening copper, lost
1000 years ago with the passing of
ancient Egyptian civilization. has
been found accidentally by a rail
way switchman with an eighth
grade education.
The switchman, James Earl Cum
mings, SO, with a wife and six chill
dren between the ages of one and
ten years, today exhibited a check
for $1,500,0OO which he said was
paid him outright for his discovery
by big copper company in Detroit
He was broke a week ago.
Here is how Cummings made his
discovery: He was cleaning the cop
per gaskets on his automobile, a
ioW-priced car of disreputable ap-
pearance, when he stuck them into
a. mixture" which he figured
would clean them best"
The gaskets, he discovered would
spring back to their bent form
when he bent them into the nor
nal shape.
Il told some of the boys at the
shop about it, and they said my
fortune was made" he explained
today.
Il patented the formula. This
cleaned me out.
Then the Detroit people asked
me to give them some tests. They
we're satisfied and 1 got a check
that almost knocked me cold-S1,-

is to buy a home over in Univer-
