crippled former Assistant Secretary
of the Navy.

Great Demonstration Starts
Then a blazing demonstration
started. Before it had run its
course in the next twenty-six
minutes, an outburst inside the
Mississippi delegation had required
police Intervention, and there ap-
peared for one or two tense minutes
as though the fight might spread
to other quarters of the Sweltering
floor.
The convention heard a speech
for Evans Woollen of Indiana by
william H. O'Brien of Lawrence
burgh. His tabloid version pleased
after some of the long distance
oratory.
Others placed in nomination we're

resentative Charles r. Crisp OF

of Wichita, Kan.
Smith Ovation Noisy
The demonstration for Smith,
aroused by the Roosevelt speech, was
colorful and noisy. But for the
Mississippi sideshow it would have
been described as huge success.
A large man bearing California
banner with picture of Smith
thereon, leaped down the middle
aisle in what appeared to be a
smashing line buck for twenty yards.
He was up before the speakers plat
form and away to flying start.
A few seconds later State stand
ards were piling in behind him,
marching around the hall. The New
York delegation, with the "wise-
cracking mayor" Jimmy Walker,
and other Tammany folk in it,
stood by, pleased. Some southern
delegations stood aloof.
The marchers swept around the
Coliseum. One group paused before
the box where Mrs. AL Smith sat
with friends and kinsfolk She
beamed proudly, but seemed too
overwhelmed to put her emotion
into words.
The house went wild. Wisconsin
paraded miniature White House
labelled "Al Smiths new home"
Banners and flags were waved.
Horns footed. Rattlers and deep
siren added to the din.
Four bands set up a terrific bed
lam. A group of Alabamans with
a tiny streamer labelled Alabama

Senator Hehin, foe of the Catholic
church and Smith.

Police today planned to drag
White River to determine whether
Gilbert L. Wood, about 49, r. r. 6.
Box 214, near Edgewood, committed
suicide by jumping into the stream
from the Illinois Central bridge be-
tween Oliver and Kentucky AYES.
A note in clothes found on the
bridge early today said that Wood
had ended his life in the river be-
cause of domestic difficulties.
Possibility that the man may have
faxed the apparent suicide, so he
could disappear to escape his al
Legged troubles, was suggested by
Captain Claffey, however.
Youths Find Clothes
Herbert Mascoe, 18, of 21IO w.
Morton St., and Edward Carr, 18,
of 2110 Martha ST., found trousers,
coat, vest and 38-caliber revolver
near by. One shell of the gun was
discharged, but Captain Claffey did
not believe the shot had been fired
recently.
In the clothing was letter sum-
moning Wood and his wife to the
Office Of Miss Isabelle Somerville,
Juvenile Court referee, June 10.
At the bottom was written, "This
is the end of everything. can't
stand it any longer"
/ On the envelope was written:
Il leave this note to keep any one
from getting in trouble. These
clothes belong to G.. L. Wood Of
Edgewood and I am committing
suicide over domestic trouble and
bad health"
Hailed to Court by Wife
According to Miss Somerville,
Wood was brought into court some
time ago by his wife, Mrs. Sarah
Wood, who charged he would not
work and support their children,
Gilbert, Jr., Is, and Wilma, is, and
Vivian, IL.
At hearing Wood produced a
number of witnesses who testified to
his good character and habits and
Che case was dropped.
Early in June his wife came to
authorities again and said Wood was
running around with other women.
Both we're summoned into court
June 13, but Wood did not appear.
A few days later he appeared and
said he had been unavoidably pre-
vented from appearing June Is and
asked that another hearing be set.
He seemed in good spirits, accord
ing to Miss Somerville.
Mrs. Wood, according to Captain
Claffey, does not believe her hus-
band has killed himself. He recently
completed building a sort of house
on his automobile, she said, and has
been removing his clothing from
their home in small lots.

pies and with Governor Smith as
our trusted leader, the result can
not be in doubt"
Noise Galore in Hall
The setting in convention hall
this forenoon resembled that OF
previous sessions. Bands, noise,
singing, crowds slow in taking their
places-these again we're the ac-
compartments of the session.
Mosi of the New York delegates
were leisurely about arriving. There
was much talk around the floor as
to what Governor Moody, the fight
ing young Texan, would do.
1t generally was agreed Moody
was in an ugly frame of mind, but
most persons believed that, while he
might furnish some fireworks, the
situation as to nominating Smith
and adopting the platform would
remain unchanged.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson again was
an honor guest on the platform.
The galleries were only partly
filed at 10:30, the scheduled time
to start.
Chairman Joseph Robinson called
the convention to order at 1926.
Platform Near Finish
Chairman Key Pittman estimated
the full committee would complete
action on the platform before Q p.
m, central time, under the new
arrangement.
A farm relief plank recognizing
the necessity of Federal aid in dis
posing Of surplus crops was adopt
ed in general terms which made no
specific reference either to the Nc
Nary Haugen bill or the equaliza-
ton fee.
The prohibition plank was ac-
ceptable to Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner, representative of Smith forces
on the committee, and to all other
members except Governor Moody.
Moody decided to wait until the
platform is presented to the full
resolutions committee later in the
day before he decided whether he
will carry his fight for a stronger
plank to the convention floor.
Farm Plank Approved
The farm plank was acceptable to
the McNary- Haugen advocates, on
the committee, including Senator
Thaddeus Caraway of Arkansas, ac-
ton on it was unanimous.
The committee selected the cor
ruption-in- Government issue as the
dominant point for the coming cam
paign. 1t mentioned the oil scan
dals and the contributions received
by the Republican party from Harry

Time for the boys to be discharged from the army arrived and the Longs prepared to welcome their soldier son and the sutor for Marguerite's hand-for Porter had by this time advanced to that posi- tlon.
 The boys came home and everybody was happy, but Marguerite changed her mind about marrying Porter Sharer
 Sharer, who had been admitted to the Long home, took the blow with surprising foltitude, but not so Marguerite's family. There was division in the camp; Mir. Long supporting his daughter and Mrs. Long growing more and more furious at her daughters rejection of Sharer.
 The breach between mother and daughter widened until finally Marguerite took her things and left home
 That was in January. When Marguerite returned in September, Porter was still sharing the Long home. He had acquired an auto and frequently took Mrs. Long for long rides.
 Soon, Marguerite's father began to look suspiciously on these little automobile iaunts of Porter and his wife He or dered the boy from his house.
 Several weeks later Porter returned 10 the Long homestead in a new automobile.
 Mrs. Long went for little ride. The "httle ride" it was learned later, had
