With addresses concluded
at 1 p. m. today the conven-
lion by reclamation nominal
ed seven candidates unop-
posed on the state ticket.
Nomination of candidates in
offices contested was to fol-
low Immediately.
Desperate, last-minutes attempt
to keep open an avenue for intro
duction of wet and dry referen-
dunn in the platform was quelled
shortly after the convention opened.
Originating the move, and its chief
supporters, we're delegates from
Lake county, headed by State Sena-
tor James Nejdl, Whiting, familiar
on convention and legislative floors,
where his oratory, embellished with
picturesque gyrations, fiercely has
opposed and supported many po-
litical and legislative measure.
AS the report of the rules COM
mittee was read, Nedjl arose to de-
mand that the rules be kept open,
permitting him, when the platform
will be read, to reattempt insertion
of a plank he submitted unsuccess-
fully to the platform committee
Wednesday night.
NejdI Fights for Planks
A chorus of "ayes" answered call
of Chairman Eliza G. Rogers for vote
on the original report, and, though
as he rose to announce adoption of
the rules. delegation in the rear OF
the convention hall shouted no,
the report was accepted
NeidPs referendum plank would
ask the legislature to submit the
wet and dry question to the voters
in 1882 general elections.
Neidl also would have tried to in
sert a plank calling upon the 1881
legislature to pass registration law
and repeal primary election laws.
Fighting for his motion to keep
open the rules, Nejdl declared:
"You will take out of the hands
of the delegates on the floor an OPP
ortunity to voice their opinions, and
that will be using railroad tactics. /"
Following invocation by the Rev.
Elmer Jones, pastor of the First
Methodist church, Lebanon, mes

EUROPA To ADD
CATAPULT

NEW YORK, April 29.-Plans
for the erection Of an airplane
catapult on the deck of the North
German Lloyd liner Europa have
been completed. and the work will
be started WITHIN a few weeks,
according to Richard Mock, engi-
neer of the Ernst Heinkel Flug-
zeugwerke of Germany, to which
the contract has been awarded.
He told of plans for equipping
the holder of the worlds speed
record for crossing the Atlantic,
at the offices of Robba g. Clark,
lawyers.
The company built the catapult
on the Bremen, sister ship of the
Europa. This was removed during
the winter months when weather
conditions did not warrant an air.
plane service in connection with
Atlantic and the Bremen is pre-
pared to carry passengers and
mail from the ship to shore.
The Europa's equipment will
consist of a starting track on
which the plane is transported on
a carriage motivated by COM
pressed air. This device propels
the plane at 10 miles an hour to
the end of the 6-foot track, where
she takes to the air. Mock said
this catapult is safer than the
ordinary naval catapult, which Is
operated BY explosive powder.

FAIRFAX At WAR
OVER SCHOOL

FAIRFAX. Va, April 29.-The
little .one.room schoolhouse is
doomed in Fairfax County if
plans for consolidation which are
to be discussed at d joint meeting
OF county school trustees and
county supervisors tomorrow ma
terialize.
1t is expected that this meeClng
viii formulate a building plan
i. which eventually will provide for
Q system Of modern attractive
sanitary school plants available
to children in all parts Of the
county. J
Fairfax County already has es-
. tahliShed, a number of modern
schools with excellent equipment
and teaching staffS of high stand
ard. The contrast between these
attractive schools and the dingy
0vercrowded one-room, poorly
heated and inadequately lighted
schools of the smaller communi-
5 ties was so forcibly impressed on
the school trustees in a recent
survey. that it was the general
, agreement that educational op.
portunitieS should be equalIzed by
transporting the pupils by bus to
centrally located consolidated
schools.
While the imperative need for
such consolidation is generally
Z recognized, the school board must
face the difficult task of select
ing the communities in which
these school plants shall be To-
Gated. The problem is compli-
Gated by the natural desire of
each town to see the new school
+ located in it's neighborhood and
the opposition which will come
from those communities that
must send their children to some
rival village. It is expected, now
ever, that the consolidation plan
will be generally approved when
the full details and advantages
are worked out.
!. The morning session on
Wednesday will be open to the
public, and it is expected that
many delegations will be present
to state their views,
