NOTES OF CONVENTION

com Slemp Of Virginia, Hubert Work
Secretary Of the Interior: James w
Good of Iowa, his chief manager. and
George w. Akerson, now Hoovers per-
Sonal assistant
Butler will retire not only as chair
man but as member of the national
committee as well as soon as the con-
! Vention adiourns. His post as COM
mitteeman will be taken by Louis X
| Liggett Of Boston, head Of chain Of
drug stores.
! II any one had any notions that the
arrival in town of Secretary of the
| Treasury Mellon was TO be the signal
| for the blowing Of horns and the beat
| ing OF drums, such illusions were dis
PEELED yesterday afternoon when this
| portentious moment arrived and the
| Secretary, as IT were, left the bands
| waiting at the church" while he was
| surreDtitiously led across sidetracks and
deposited in an automobile awaiting
him at the baggage loading platform
! t1e was safely in his room at the Kan
sas City Club before the crowds that
had waited in the station concourse TO
see him pass through knew that he had
even reached the city
| At least hundred newspaper men
were on the platform when the first of
| the three Pullman special trains carry
ing the big Pennsylvania delegation
pulled into Kansas City.
| After a good deal Of hectic running
back and forth the newspaper corre-
| spondents discovered that Secretary
Mellon was In the last car on the train,
and they gathered about the observa-
ton platform to catch him when he
got Off.
There was much delay before he got
Off: the hurried porter opened the vesti-
bule and busted off the handrail at
least three times. But each time some
large gentleman with badges on would
beckon to him and the porter would
close the veStibule and back in the car.
Finally. those inside took courage and
the vestibule was once again opened,
the handratlS again busted of and Sec
rotary Mellon, preceded by several COM
panionS stepped off the train.
He appeared very frail and tired as
member of his staff took him by one
arm and started to hurry him away A
newspaper man immediately took the
other arm while the hundred odd
other newspaper men did their best to
keep within hearing distance behind on
each side, aud some Of them ran ahead
All the Secretary would say was that
| ne would see the members If the press
at 8 O'Clock at the Muehlbach and tell
them hello"
BY O'Clock the corridor on the fourth
floor Of the Muehlbach Hotel. where
Secret ary Mellon has a suite, was
crowded with jostiing host Of news
paper men. The parlor to the 3ecre-
tarys suite was opened and the gang
rushed in.
1t was so full that one wondered how
fha Esncral could rnanrilAirr
Evening star., 1928-06-12

1t was SO full that one wondered how
the Secretary could possibly enter. The
newspaper men waited IS minutes and
then one Of them started out into the
corridor again, the rest following him
like sheep. Soon the parlor was empty
and the corridor full Another Is
minute wait and then a new movement
was started toward the parlor In a
trice It was filled again. Ten minutes of
standing around and some one led the
host back into the corridor.
This time there was some reward.

WYOMING LIVESTOCK MEN RENEW INTEREST
 POSSIBILITIES NORTH

Interest of Wyoming stockmen in the future of the sheep and cattle in- dustry in Alaska is shown in the for lowing article from the Rock Springs (Wyoming) Miner. It was reported in the Seward Gateway a few days ago when MT. Taliaferro arrived here on his way to Kodiak and other Westward islands where he is now travelling about, accompanied by Jack McCord of the McCord Alaska com pany of Seward. This is what the Wyoming paper had to say before MT Taliaferro departed from his home town:
 ~seddon raliaferro, son of Rock Springs leading attorney, T. s. Talia- ferro, IT,, intends leaving the latter part of this month for Kodiak, Alas ka. from which point he will later go to sitkalidak Island which has been leased by the United States to Jack

McCord and his associates for the
 purpose of grazing sheep and other livestock.
 Tt is the intention of MT. Talia- ferro to give the grasses and forage of the island, it's springs, water cours es and shrubbery, careful investiga- ton as to their availability for sheep raising purposes, with the thought of transporting the eheep of the Big Sandy Livestock company to Alaska, providing after investigation the i5- land and it's forage prove to be bene- ficial for sheep raising, as govern ment and other experts report it 10 Ibe.
 Tt is represented that the island lis we'll watered and has a vast amount of nutritious grasses and other herbs; that no winter feeding of livestock is necessary; that. the temperature in the winter affected as it is by the Japanese Gulf stream, seldom falls below freezing, and that springs and streams of fresh water are abundant, and, of great impor- |tance, the fact that there are no pre- datory animals. It is also claimed that freight rates on wool and nut ton to primary markets are cheaper than from the inter-mountain region, and that the cost of herding, camp supplies, feed and forage is practi cally negligible
 MT. TaHaferro proposes to be ab- sent in an investigation of this and other Aleutian islands until about the 15 of September, when he will re- turn and probably transport some of his sheep to Alaska this autum'

NEW YORK, March ia
world that admires gameness today
reluctantly prepared to write down
the names of the Hon. Elsie Mackay
and Captain Walter Hinchliffe on
the list of those the North Atlantic
had lured to death.
The two started in the American
made monoplane Endeavour'
from Cranwell Airdrome, England,
Tuesday, on flight to North Amer
lea. They were sighted over the tip
of Ireland.
Three days have passed and no
j further word has been heard.
Their gasoline supply provided
/ them with a maximum of only Al
hours in the air, even if their stam-
ina had been able to stand more.
Belief grew their plane had crack
ed up in a north Atlantic storm and
that the one-eyed war veteran and
pretty British woman were dead
There was a possibility, of course,
they might have shared the fate of
Harry Hawker, Commander John
Rodgers, Ruth Elder or francesca
de Pinedo.
Hawker returned to civilization
after he had been given up for dead
for nine days, after a transatlantic
attempt. He had been picked up
by freighter that had no wireless.
Rodgers was missing nine days
before he and his navy crew were
found off Hawaii. De Pinedo was
picked up at sea.
The tanker Berendrecht rescued
! Miss Elder and George Haldeman
I, when their transatlantic plane AM
crican Girl was forced down near
the Azores.
Then, too, there was the stronger
possibility they might have shared
the fate of the gallant French aces
Nungesser and Coli, of Princess
Anne of Lowenstein-Wer of
the crew of the Old Glory-or of
the entire list of three women and
2l men who started on adventurous
trans-Oceanic flights, never again to

COURT GRANTS
PROBATION IN
BURGLARY CASE
Anderson, However. Must
Spend First 80 Days In
County Jail.

Melton Anderson, 20, of Los Ang-
eles was sentenced to San Quentin
penitentiary for the term prescrib-
ed by law, one to 10 years, by
Judge A. C. Finney in superior
court this morning, then was grant
ed probation for a period of one
year. The probation, however, in
cludes a clause to the effect that
the first 90 days of the probation
must be spent in the county Jail.
The Judge granted the application
for probation despite recommended
ions by both the district attorney s
office and the probation officer
that the man be committed to San
Quentin penitentiary for the offense.
Anderson was convicted by jury
on charge of burglary, second
degree, recently, the case growing
cut of the breaking into Edgar Bro
Tiers Hardware store on Main street
in January. Frank Carter, co-defen-
dant pleaded guilty and was sent
to San Quentin penitentiary for a
period of not less than five years.
Anderson first pleaded guilty
then changed his plea but was later
convicted by a jury on the charge.
The evidence tended to show that
while Carter was inside the build
! ing Anderson acted as a lookout,
flashing his light as warning sig
nal when officers arrived.
Ernest Armijo and Juan Martin
cz were brought before the court
| nn charges of assault with attempt
! to commit robbery. j. f. Simpson
was appointed as attorney for them
and the case was continued one
week for hearing on probation, the
ncn having previously pleaded gull
ty to the charges.
