HOUSTON, June 26.-The opening
session of the Democratic national con-
ventlon today did little but give the
delegates all eyeful of Sam Houston
Hall. an earful of music and an appe-
tite for lunch. But it proved definitely
that the Democrats have come to HouS-
ton to make things lively and are great
whoopers. There was almost as much
color and enthusiasm shown this morn
ing while the delegates were crowding
into Sam Houston Hall as the Republi-
cans were able to muster during their
whole convention at Kansas City.
A merry tune, picture of AL Smith
or the flag of Texas this afternoon was
enough to send the delegates into wild
cheers and whoops. One hesitates TO
ponder over what they will co when
they get around to nominating speeches.
And being Democrats they were late in
everything they did.
Sweltering with heat, hope and har-
mony, the delegates and their alter
mates. friends, countrymen and critics
assembled some 10000 strong beneath
the six-acre roof of the house that
Houston built to tell the world that
Tamnany and Texas are brothers ul-
der the skin
It was high noon by the program, but

Charge Set for October 8.
Gives $4,000 Bond.

Col. Robert w. Stewart, chairman OF
The board of directors of the Standard
Oil Co. of Indiana. was arraigned today
before Justice Frederick l.. Siddons IN
Criminal Division 2 and pleaded not
guilty to the indictment for perjury re-
turned against him yesterday. His
counsel. Frank j. Hogan. asked for an
immediate trial. saying that he would
be ready tomorrow, but the trial was set
for October 8.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
opposed the request of Hogan, pointing
out that he knew no reason why the
court should depart from It's usual Gus
tom not to try contested criminal cases
In the Summer recess term and declared
he would be ready to proceed at any time
in October. Justice Siddons then set
the trial date and Stewart gave $4,000
bail. Robert v. Fleming, president OF
the Riggs National Bank, qualified as
surety on the bond.
Game at Once"
Hogan quoted to the justice remark
of the court during the recent Stewart
case that an innocent man shoIld be
insistent and demand trial and should
not interpose technical objections. The
lawyer pointed out that as soon as Col.
Stewart In New York heard of the fling
of the indictment. he came Immediately
to Washington and requested his oun-
sci to ask for an immediate trial.
Justice Siddons remarking ar the
action of Col Stewart called 1t very
commendable," and said that while the
criminal docket had been very heavy
and the recess term was close at hand,
1t was impossible for him to hear the
case. but he would give an early date in
october.
Justice Jennings Bailey, who denied
Stewards application for release on
habeaS corpus, when he was arrested
by the sergeant-at-arms ofthe Senate,
Will probably preside at the trial in
October.
After leaving the courtroom. Col.
Stewart gave out a statement IN when
he declared that the charge had been
plainly inspired by the political inves-
tigators of the Senate committee, who
have so long been of the opinion that IN
presidential campaign year private
rights and personal regulations are OF
no moment"
''Star Chamber Charge"
Il am sure the public viii under
stand" the statement continued, "tnat
this indictment was returned as re-
suit OF a star chamber proceeding, where
| was not heard either personally or by
counsel Only one witness was heard
and he was Senator Nye. more prosecu-
tor than witness. Not one word OF evil
dence was received on my side In TINS
matter. / came to Washington at once
to meet this new charge and instructed
my counsel to seek an immediate trial.
I am disappointed that we must wait
until October. ! am confident OF ac-
quittal."
Mr.. Hogan said after his appearance
IN the courtroom that he considered the
case a made" one and "the most TAR
fetched In my 25 years experience" He
added that he had no doubt as TO what
the outcome would be.
Col, Stewart was to leave for Chicago
this afternoon.

BAR THE LADIES
Terrible Suggestion Of
Harvard Should Be Cut
Out AT Once.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. - What!
No womcn???
The suggestion comes in all ser.
iousness from Harvard University
that the future solution to conges.
tion in the country S over taxed foot
ball stadiums is to limit alumni to
one ticket each and require each
alumnus to use his ticket personally.
1t is only matter of time, say
the authorities at Cambridge, before
women spectators at football games
will be as rare as drop kicks.
The system in vogue at Harvard,
Yale and Princeton of limiting each
alumnus to two seats and requiring
him to occupy one of them is rapid
ly being outgrown. At present, if
you enjoy that sort of thing, it is
quite au fait to take the girl friend.
But wait Il few years, say the
crepe hangers at Cambridge. Soon
the alumni themselves will exceed
. the seating capacity of the stadium
in question. The only answer is to
hold football games for men only.
What No wOmcn!!'
So Say We
As well uproot the goal posts
erase the chalk markers, deflate the
pigskin and call off the whole busi-
ness.
Who is there who has been hugged
by mistake by fair and unknown
neighbor while some muddy faced
quarterback goes twisting down the
field for touchdown who would
agree TO the elimination of women
from football crowds' Eliminate
the alumni, if necessary. BY all
means, eliminate the cheer leaders
But as far as most of us are con
cerned, there are just two things
we enjoy taking to football game,
and one of them comes in fur coat
with Fifth Avenue label.
What. No womcn?!!
Take away the little bundles of
lovelincss in their tight little perky
hats and fur coats flecked with
the winning colors' and topped
off by big chrysanthcmum, and
YOU have taken the heart out of
college football.
Why, one of the longest runs
ever enjoyed watching during a foot
ball game was in silk stocking nc
nearer the gridiron than seat "A
'ow {, section II, and hope that
f her escort reads, this he doesn \
save his ticket stubs.
What: No Women2l! Z
