hoUcEb hdHbCAAs III StdkS COStunlCs
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. j.,
June 27.-Robert B. Mantell, world
famed Shakesperian actor, died at
his country home, Brucewood, here
today after an illness of several
weeks.
Mantell was "a years old.
Mantell was taken Ill about six
weeks ago at Baltimore while on
tour. For a time it was thought he
might recover, but during the last
few days he sank so rapidly that vir-
tually all hope was abandoned.
With the actor when he died were
his wife, Mrs. Genevieve Hamper
Mantell; and their son Bruce. A
daughter was reported ON her way
from the Pacific coast, but she failed
to arrive in time.
For the last week Dr. John Boyd,
attending physician, maintained an
almost constant vigil at the aged
actors bedside.
Mantell was one of the greatest
tragedians Scotland has produced
He was born at Irvine, Scotland,
Feb. 7, 1854, and early in life re-
belled against what he considered
the tyranny of schools and books.
When Mantell was IA his parent;
abandoned the idea of a law career
and apprenticed him to a wine
merchant. For five years he worked
at his trade half heartedly, never
missing a chance to appear IN
amateur theatricals.
Wanderlust became too strong iT
1874, and after tramping around the
British Isles, he sailed for Amer
lea, landing in Boston. Bitterly dis
appointed because he could not OBJ
tain a theatrical engagement there,
Mantell sailed back to England two
weeks later.
Makes Stage Debut
Two years later he made his stage
debut in "Arrah-N -Pogue," Sue
cess came rapidly. He toured Eng
land with Dion Boucicault, playing
romantic roles.
America first saw him at Albany,
N. Y, in 1878, when he appeared
with. Modjeska in Romeo and Ju-
liet." The next forty years Of Man
tells life were devoted to educat-
ing the American public on appre-
citation of Shakespeare.
Among his outstanding successes
were "Othello, !" Richard III, king
Lear" 1.-THE Merchant Of Venice"
and Macbeth"
He was married twice, the first
time to Charlotte Behrens, we'll
known actress.
Follower of Booth
Mantell was a follower Of the
school of Booth, Wallack and Nc
Cullouch and was a pioneer in the
field Of repertoire, having main
tanned Shakesperian company for
years. Critics have called Mantell
the last Of the great tragedians.
Mantel appeared in Indianapolis
at English's during the winter
season. Though his playing was OF
the highest order, his feebleness
plainly was noticeable.

WHISTLE TO REGULATE
Change Set for Monday;
LAY Campaign Will
Be Launched.

Forty-five second "go" periods for
pedestrians only will be inaugu-
rated on three Washington street
corners Monday morning, and a Wig
orous campaign against jay-walking
started, Police Chief Claude M
Worley announced today.
The chief, Traffic Captain Lester
Jones and the board of safety held
a special meeting at which it was
decided to try out the separate
periods for pedestrian traffic at
Illinois, Meridian and Pennsylvania
SITS. intersections with Washington
st.
The trafficmen will blow one
whistle blast for north and south
motor and street car traffic, two
blasts for east and west traffic and
three for pedestrians.
Must ScgrTy Across
When the triple blast is blown all
traffic must stop and walkers scurry
across. After an education period
pedestrians will be arrested for
walking across Washington st. ex-
cept at The intersections and for
trying to cross at any time except
during the forty-five second period.
Extra traflcmen will be on duty
to help educate pedestrians and
motorists next week.
The board temporarily put no.
turns in effect at Pennsylvania and
Market SITS. this morning. After a
try-out the no-turns here probably
will be in effect from II a. m. to ]
p. m. and from 4 to 6 p. m.
Conferees Sift Problem
The meeting today followed a
conference Tuesday afternoon oi
the board and police with repre-
sentatives of civic, business and
labor organizations at which the
whole traffic problem was discussed
Flat-to-curb parking on Wash
ington st. instead of the present
angle parking and elimination OF
parking on Monument Circle are
under consideration as result of the
conference.
Worley and Board Members Rob-
ert Miller and Ira Haymaker IA
vored those changes in parking
regulations as step to decreased
downtown congestion.
Mayor L. Ert Slack suggested WI
dening streets leading to the busi-
ness section. Slack said he had
talked with City Engineer A. H
Moore on the possibility of WIDEN
ing the first block of Massachusetts
by cutting five to eight feet from
the sidewalks.
Suggests Safety Isle
Chief Worley also suggested a
safety island in the streets for
pedestrians.
The proposed abolition Of right
and left turns at all corners on
Washington st. between Senate
Ave. and Delaware st. will be
abandoned, it was indicated.
Merchants Association repre-
sentatives objected to the proposal,
on the ground that it would hurt
business.
Representatives Of the East
Washington Street Merchants AS
sociation and the West Washington
st. Merchants Association, however,
favored the straight through traffic
plan.

BY CARL d. GROAT,
United Press staR Correspondent

CONVENTION HALL, HOUSTON,
Texas, June 27-The Democrats in
national convention opened their
third session today, eagerly await
ing the time when Governor Alfred
E. Smith of New York shall be
named presidential candidate.
They swarmed into convention
hall under a blanket of humidity to
choose Senator Joseph Robinson
the probable vice presidential NOM
inee-aS permanent chairman and
to hear from him a new message on
important issues of the coming
campaign.
Meantime, the platform commit
tee had convened to hold public
hearings on prohibition, farm relief
and other planks in the platform.
These hearings represented large
ly a formality, for leaders already
were in general agreement on what
the platform should contain.
Carries Dry Plank
They were agreed it should carry
a dry law enforcement plank, and
expected ratification of such a plank
by the convention. They we're pre-
pared, too, to offer farm aid plank
promising relief measures for the
farmers.
Further, in keeping with the
keynote of anti-corruption sounded
last night by Claude G. Bowers, New
York editorial writer, they were
ready to present a stiff plank fol
honesty in government.
Smiths nomination was a Ger.

Delegates Swelter
The heat was oppressive. A thun.
derstorm last night which partly
drenched the press section anc
wetted some chairs in the delegate
section Of the vast hall had failed
to bring relief, and the forecastel
held out no hope of immediate i'm
provement.
The bands sought to liven affairs
with snappy tunes and there again
was a strong spirit of holiday
making, though some old-time OBJ
servers felt that the harmony
achieved here had robbed this
gathering of some of the fire and
zest Of previous conventions.
The days program called for re-
ports Of committees other than the
platform committee. That body will
sit privately tonight and finally
shape its platform.
First signs Of fight were foreseen
in the report of the credentials
committee. Mrs. Genevieve Clark

Speaker Champ Clark Of Missouri
had been dethroned by the creden-
tialS committee, which held her

A fight over this decision was in
prospect, as the pretty Mrs. Thomp-
son did not propose to accept the

decision without objection. She fa-
vors Senator Reed of Missouri, who,
incidentally, announced last night
that he still is in the presidential
nominating fight and intends to
stay.
The hall filled rather slowly this
forenoon. Delegates seemed loath
to venture too early into the heat
and humidity of an oppressive
morning. For those in the hall
shortly after 10 a. m. there was a
treat-Negro spirituals by a Negro
orchestra. This was put on the
broadcast at 10:30.
Joe Sinnott, doorkeeper Of the
United States House Of Represent
atives, announced jokingly the sing
ers we're his Constituents from old
Virginia" AS a matter Of fact, they
were singers from Negro churches
of Houston.
There was some objection at first
to letting them on the platform,
but this soon was adjusted.
Start Shedding Coats
Delegates still clung to their coats,
despite the earlier invitation of
Chairman Glen Shaver Of the ma
tional committee to make this a
coatless convention.
Some, however, we're setting the
pace and shedding" and the custom
bade fair to become more popular if
the heat continued.
The convention again had its list
of distinguished guests, including
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs.

distinguished and white haired,
chatted pleasantly with friends.

of "let's CO." 'let's get started" and
other manifestations of impatience

dragged on with no evidence of the
convention coming to order.
Bowers at Last Arrives
1t was explained on the platform
that Claude Bowers, the keynoter,
had been caught in a hotel jam and
had been delayed. He reached the
convention at 1875.
Former Senator j. Hamilton

platform wearing white trousers, a
gray coat and his inevitable chamois

MECHANICAL STOKERS
EFFICIENT AND ECONO-
MICAL HEAT DEVICES

The old saying, "there is something
new every day." is true and while this
may not be thing that is new in
certain places, still its appearance in
a community may be distinct nov
city.
The newest thing in Red Lodge at
the present time is mechanical
stoker for running furnaces. Three
such stokers were installed the past
week-one in the Pollard hotel, an
other in the Roosevelt school and one
in the high school. Henry Albert of
the Red Lodge Plumbing and Heating
company, the district agent for the APP
pliance, installed them with the aid
of the special representative, James
DeVine of the Sullivan Valve and
Engineering company of Butte.
The stoker is a marvellous little af-
fair. A hopper is filled by gravity
with ordinary mine run slack. From
the hopper it goes down into con-
veyor which is nothing but worm
type Of construction and the slack is
carried directly underneath the fire
box Of the furnace; in other words,
it goes through the ash pit of the fur
mace and is then blown upward with a
powerful electric blower fan The
slack is sprayed in each direction as
# Is forced inward and is ignited as
easiIv as oil or GAS.
Such fuel is ordinarily a waste
product and is much cheaper than any
other material that can be bought. The
fire is under a forced blast at all
times and is intensely hot and it is
also under mechanical control at all
times. A regulator can be set for
any number Of pounds OF steam de-
sired and when that point is reached
the control automatically sets and the
fire dies down until it reaches lower
heat. The fire can be banked at night
and an automatic arrangement will
open the drafts and start the machine
to working at any time in the morning
desired.
1t is wonderful outfit and while
saving the work Of firing and tend
ing furnace, it still is an economical
affair as it uses fuel that is ordinarily
considered useless.
