Democrats Turn Down Minority j Plank on League Newton D. Baker Collapses on Platform After Vain Plea for Ideals of Woodrow Wilson. (Continued from Pago Ono.) get it our club would have to spend of the platform committee was un willing to make. Klan Fight to Floor. The klan flight was tossed Into the Garden arena near the close of a turbulent day. Drama attended the throwing of the fight into the open, and the chief actors were some of democracy’s greatest orators and noted leaders —William Jennings Bryan, Bainbrldge Colby, both of whom were secretaries of state under Woodrow Wilson and each of whom Is aligned on opposite sides of this klan fight. Madison Square Garden. New York. June 28.—Fearing great disorder and possibly bloodshed, managers of the democratic national convention today feared to discuss the klan plank of the platform in the presence of the crowded galleries and agreed upon a plank for a separate session tonight from which all but delegates and newspapermen would be excluded. Talk of party splits on every side, threats of violence which caused the authorities to pack Madison Square Garden and the streets nearby with police, and openly expressed fear that some blond might be spilled in a heated discussion of the religious issue caused the convention managers to come to their decision. Colby Approves. Negotiations also were in progress on the floor over the time that should be allowed speakers on the klan plank. George Brennnn of Illi nois, Norman E. Mack of New York and other leaders for an out and out condemnation of the plan, objected to a suggestion made at first to limit Former Secretary Colby to 30 min utes for the presentation of his argu ment on that side of the question, and for a similar limit on the op posing speech of William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Colby himself, however, was said later to have agreed to a limit of 15 minutes for his speech. He will be seconded by Francis X. Busch of Illinois, Edmund Moore of Ohio and others. Erennon sent wor$ to the platform that if there were any prolonged gal lery demonstrations during the de bate, he and the leaders associated with him would insist that the gal leries be cleared. Delayed by Crowds. At 3:40 p. m. the platform commit tee meeting broke up, Its members having agred to disagree on the klan proposition and throw the fight into the convention. Committeemen found difficutly in forcing their way through the dense crowds about the entrances, and there was a further delay while the results of the com mittee meeting were communicated to Chairman Walsh on the conven tion hall platform. As the 54 who sat on the commit tee reached the convention floor one by one, each became the center of a serious faced group of his colleagues and efforts of sergeants at arms to quiet down the arena and induce the delegates to return to their seats went for nothing. The aisles through the delegate session were jammed with disputants over the paramount issue of the convention and it seemed almost unbelievable that the throng could be brought to order without much effort and great difficulty. Record Attendance. By this time, too, the spectators who had jammed into aisles in the galleries had become so numerous that the whole was one solid mass of sweltering, expectant humanity. It was one of the largest crowds that ever packed itself Into the historic ampitheater. At 3:51 the chairman rapped for order and the' crowd quieted down long enough to listen (o a routine an nouncement hy the convention seere tary. When the delegates and gal leries realized, however, that the pounding of the gavel did not mean the beginning of the business for which they had assembled, there was an immediate reversion to the disor ders of a few minutes before. The crowd, growing impatient, broke into applause on general principles and the hand kept them cheering by crashing into "Dixie.” An Hour Kadi. Continuing their conferences, the leaders agreed at last that the debate on the klan plank he limited to two hours, with an hour for each side, and that similar time be given the debate over the league plank. That was the proposal of the platform committee. A few minutes later William Jennings Bryan, who had been working day and night to effect a klan compromise in the j latform commit tee and its sub-committee, came down the center aisle amid a crash of cheering, and took a place beside the chairman. It was his first appear ance on the platform of this conven tion and the delegates gave him a loud welcome. The greatest crowds of the conven tion had been packed Into the hall Leaders on both sides of the klan question were fearful of demonstra tions from the galleries and possible charges of intimidation of delegates. During the luncheon recess, which had been taken after Chairman Cum mlngs of the resolutions committee had made a dramatic plea for more time to consider the question, hur ried conferences were held In a last minute effort to get a unanimous decision on the klan plank. But the last effort was futile and finally the word came that the com rnittee would present as a part of its majority report a plank drawn by William Jennings Bryan which does not name the klan by name. At the same time it became known that the plank which does name the klan specifically would he offered as a minority report and that the argil rnent for it would he in charge of Bnlnbridge Colby, former secretary of state.

Fifth Floor « Nothing Matters But Love, Declare Young Tucker and Middle-Aged Wife tw 111 " T" i By Internntlonal »w« Service. Altadena, Cal., June 28—"Nothing else matters in life but love—every thing else is garbage." That Is the message to the world of 17-year-old Burton Tucker, son of Postmaster Joseph Tucker of Salem, Mass., who married Mrs. Susie Burn ham, wealthy middle-aged New York widow, at Union Hill, N. J., in Octo ber, 1323, and thereby set tongues wagging and typewriters a-clieklng. High up on Mount Lowe, overlook ing this suburb, which has sheltered many others seeking a quiet life, in cluding Mary Miles Minter, "tomboy" of the movies, and the late Jack Cudahy, young Tucker was found with his bride, who says her age is “between 40 and 50," and their 2 month-old baby, Violet. As he bal anced Peggy Simpson, 6, a daughter of his wife by a former marriage, on his knee, the young husband said: “I love my wife, and I love her with as deep a feeling, as truly and as honestly, as any husband. So what else matters? She loves me, too. “My father was peeved when he found out my wife gave me $10,000, so he started to make trouble. He tried to get some of that 'dough' and could not, so he and a pack of other relatives drove us out of the east. "We intend to say here forever We may go back to New Jersey to clear up some indictments there—for perjury and some other things I don't know about or understand clearly. BZut we will make our home here I am going into the real estate busi ness. "We're crazy about, each other, aren't we?” Burton demanded of his wife, standing at his side on the porch of their mountain love nest. She was quick to respond. "Yes—and you can tell the world,” she said. Then she added: “Oh, we love California! Of course, we miss the east, too, but we were driven out of New York and New Jersey. Hero we hope to find peace; but we don’t care what happens as long as we have our love. Oh, Burt, isn't that the truth?” And the middle-aged mother patted her baby's head and looked across the rose-covered porch Into her young husband's eyes.
