At exactly S:14 last night, Eastern

Gus pronounced Pincus), of Platts-
burg, Clinton county, Mo-, appeared
at the main entrance of the Garden
and demanded admittance.
He asked for Tex Richard per-

first delegate inside. His credentials
showed, however, he was no. a dele

what it is today. (See any Inap.)
He declared the whole convention
was a frame-up, and when Mike

And that ended that. Later
Elmer issued a statement, a COPY

But despite this apparent lack
of civility, New York is obeying
the injunction of the Fifth avenue
buses: "Politeness pays"
Praised By Colonel.
Bell boys and other myrimidons-
that last word was brought in fresh
from Yonkers on the morning milk
train-who flutter about hotels are
all determined that no guest shall
leave the city feeling it is a rude
town.
Such great zeal is being shown
to be polite that an unconfirmed
rumor last night was that a box
office man in Broadway theater
actually said thanks" to a prod

Wis, who paid $40 to sit behind a
post at a musical comedy.
Colonel Lycurgus Moody, of the
Virginia Moodys, who came up from

generous and hospitable heart.

Turning to his table companion,
Miss Carlotta McGinn, of the Har.

Gray imitation so cleverly, he said:
Expect Big Killings.
''You know, little lady, it's
poa'ful fine Of this big city to be
so kind to stranger. I was
stranger and you took me in"
Carlotta said nothing-just cast
her big violet eyes demurely down.
Broadway is twitching with ex-
pectancy over the prospects of
big killing. All the ham and egg
girls are out looking for food un-
der glass. They are passing up
the aged Filberts who have proven
such ready dinner buyers in the
past and are casting sleeps eyes
at the visiting Dodderers.
Broadway welcomes anything
new--even II it comes in white sox
and reversible cuffs.
One thing the visitors miss IS
the Broadway jazz bands. Since
somebody or other distributed the
padlocks on the claw hammer and
jazz mosques, 1t is reported that
all the jazz bands are playing for
pitched pennies in apartment house
courts. j..
Still there are a lot of cellar
places that open to the proper
push button signal and each one
