Chairman Walsh decided that the unit rule In Tennessee bound the del egates by their instructions to vote for McAdoo bo long as his name ap peared before the convention. Madison Square Garden, New York, July 4.—After a day of futile ballot ing, and without apparently coming nny nearer to the choice of a candi date than on the first day of the convention, the democratic national conventlo voted at 6:10 this afternoon to adjour until tonight at 8:30. New York, July 4.—Withdrawal of the name of Senator Samuel M. Ral ston of Indiana, from consideration ns a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination was decided upon today by the Indiana delegation after receipt of a request for such action from the senator. Thomas Taggart of Indiana read tho senator's telegram of withdrawal and cast 20 of Indiana's votes for McAdoo and 10 for Smith. Announcing Ralston's withdrawal Mr. Taggart said to the convention: "Mr. Chairman, and fellow demo crats of this convention: "I hold In my hand a telegram from that stal wart. rugged, loyal democrat, Sena tor Ralston, saying that in this hour the crying need of judgment and charity, party harmony rises su premely above the personal ambitions of any man. "The delegates from Indiana are just as loyal to Senator Ralston now as the day he was put in nomination. We have believed and we believe now, that he is the logical nominee of this convention for president. With great reluctance, therefore, the Indiana delegation in obedience to his mandate, now withdraws his name from the list of the candidates be fore this convention." For Party Harmony. He read then the following tele gram from Senator Ralston: "Indianapolis, July 4. "Thomas Taggart, New York City. “For the sake of party harmony I forego any personal ambitions I may have and request that you withdraw my name from further consideration by the convention.” On the 83d ballot Indiana continued to stay with Ralston, Michigan chang ing its vote, going back to Senator Ferris for 28 votes, and giving one to Smith and one to McAdoo. The con vention was so busy chatting and apparently uninterested In the ballot ing that the change did not cause a ripple. Mississippi then gave Ralston Its 20. Ohio Caucus. The Ohio delegation, which has been casting Its 48 votes solid for James M. Cox. former Ohio governor and demo cratic standard bearer of four years ago. since the balloting began last Monday, held a caucus, but deferred action. The Ohio delegates were un ; derstood to be considering a switch of their vote, possibly to Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war, but made no decision pending receipts of further word from Cox. These developments appeared, how ever, only to increase the efforts of managers of the campaign for Alfred E. Smith of New York and W. G. McAdoo to consolidate their positions and bolster up their forces. Managers of both were active dur l Ing the half day, and the managers of eueh went into convention declar ing their positions to be stronger than when adjournment was taken early today, after the 61st ballot. McAdoo was active during the en tire forenoon. He conferred with his assistants, discussed the situation with a group of railroad labor lead ers and promised a group of about 1U0 women, including a number of delegates, that he would fight "until the last drop of blood runs out of me." The 64th ballot brought the with drawal of Ralston of Indiana and the : Impending withdrawal of Cox of Ohio. Indiana gave 20 to McAdoo and 10 to Smith while Ohio voted to go for a while to Baker on following bul . lots. Cox Withdraws. James M. Cox of Ohio was with ■ Irawn from the race after the 64th ballot. Former Congressman J. Henry Goeka of the Ohio delegation innounced his withdrawal and read the following telegram from Mr. Cox: "James K. Campbell, Ohio delega tion, National Democratic convention, New York. “Whenever in your judgment the withdrawal of my name from the con lideration of the convention will promote harmony and bring the exist ing deadlock to an end. 1 trust you Will, without delay, take such action is you then deem advisable. I have Do personal ambition that rises above my devotion to the democratic party »nd this message to you is prompted Dy a desire to serve the cause that ns s honored me. "Many persons remembering that I tin the titular leader of the party ■ntil a nomination is made, have isked that counsel and advice he given In the midst of a seeming com plication, This is not necessary be cause the good senso and patriotism of thb delegates can be depended upon. ; Nor would I think of visiting oroscrlfitinns against the names of honored and honorable men whose j itates have proposed them as worthy of a nation’s trust. It is an Im pertinence for any one to conceive it ha* right or duty to do such a thing under the guise of leadership or ilneere; purpose. "The choice of the convention be comes -my choice and my time and Dtrengfli will be given to his support the moment lie la nominated. ((Signed) "JAMBS M. COX." Demonstrating their power of veto, the McAdoo forces In the democratic national convention today defeated a proposal to invite their candidate to appear and speak before tho dele gates, and then as promptly and as , easily defeated n counter proposal that Governor Hinlth lie nllowed to Appear and speak for a half hour. Tho. McAdoo people did moro than i defeat a resolution. They demon strated that they have more than one-thlnl of the votes In the conven tion under their control and that they ore in position to use them effectively ! to veto the nomination of nny candl ! date they choose. The Smith people, although they were op Hie losing side ; ef tho resolutions voted upon, dem onstrated also that they ore !h pos session of tho same veto power and In position to enforce it. Thus, an attractive looking pro posal that both leaders exhibit them selves before the convention, really bias the vehicle for demonstrating -- Omaha Invites Demos to Meet Here The following wire was sent Friday by Clarke G. Powell, commissioher of the Chamber of Commerce to ex-Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock in regard to the democratic convention: “If the convention moves, why not to Omaha, the cen ter of the country.” Since ex-Senator Hitch cock, Carl Gray and the two Bryans, Gov. Charles Bryan and William Jen nings Bryan are from Ne braska, pressure could be brought to bear to bring the convention to Omaha, said Mr. Powell. once agnln, as on the Ku Klux Klan Issue, that the McAdoo forces and the antl-McAdoo forces are In a seem ingly hopeless deadlock. The proposal that the candidates exhibit themselves and speak came from Charles H. Cole, a delegate from Boston, who Introduced a resolution providing for an executive session to night with admission only to dele gates, alternates, members of the democratic national committee, and representatives of the newspapers. The Cole resolution was beaten. Wants to Suspend Rules. General Cole of Massachusetts of fered a resolution proposing that if the convention had not selected a nominee on the ballot concluding after 5 o’clock eastern daylight time the convention recess until 8 o’clock for an executive session. He asked that the rules be suspended for con sideration of the resolution. A roll call was ordered on suspend ing the rules so the convention could take up consideration of the resolu tion Itself which was as follows: ’’Resolved: That at the conclusion of the ballot following 5 o'clock If no nomination has been made this con ventlon adjourn to reconvene In ex ecutive session at 8 o’clock. That no one be admitted to that session ex cept delegates, alternates, officials of the convention and representatives of the press and members of the na tional committee. That a committee be appointed by the chair to invite each candidate whose name is before the convention to address the com vention either personally or by rep resentative.” Bryan Proposal Ijoses. William Jennings Bryan asked unanimous consent to offer an amendment to strike out the provi sion of the resolution for appearance of candidates before the convention. There were many objections, and he did not get It. After much preliminary wrangling the chairman announced that the vote about to be taken was on the suspension of the rules and the adoption of the resolution, all at one operation and that a two-thirds vote was required to carry It The McAdoo delegations cast their votes against the Cole resolution, and the antl-McAdoo delegations voted for it. The resolution was defeated. Indianapolis, Ind., July 4.—United States Senator Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana, a candidate for the demo cratic nomination for president, has telegraphed Thomas Taggart at New York that he desires his name with drawn from the contest. Senator Ralston's complete state ment follows: "On July 1, I sent Senator Taggart the following telegram: 'I reaffirm my statement often repeated, that I do not now and never have had any relationship with the Ku Klux Klan. hut In view of the persistent charges that I have some connection with it and in view of the feeling resulting from the controversy over that or ganization, which feeling threatens Injury to our party, I wish to make whatever contribution I can toward a peaceful solution of the conditions now confronting the convention, and I therefore desire my name with drawn from further consideration by the convention.' "Yesterday when I had 94 votes I sent the following telegram to Mr. Taggart: " ‘I feel my name should bo with drawn, Desire you to do so. ” 'SAMUEL M. RALSTON.’ ” Sixty-seventh Iliillnt.

La Follette Will Run as Candidate of Independents Endorsement of Wisconsin Senator’s Candidacy De ferred by “Progressive” Convention Till Today. (Continued from Page One.) terms upon which their suffrage is in vited. "After long experience In public life and painstaking consideration of the present state of public affairs, I am convinced that the time has come for a militant political movement, in dependent of tho two old party or ganizations, and responsive to the needs and sentiments of the common people. “I should be unwilling to partici pate In any political campaign at this time which would imperil the steady advance of the progressive movement or diminish the number of true pro gressives, nominally elected as re publicans and democrats, who are now serving the public in the house, the senate and in many of the state governments. In Hands of Corrupt Rich. "The necessity for an independent progressive movement lies In the fail ure of the two old parties to purge themselves of tho influences which have caused their administrations re peatedly to betray the American people. “The rank and file of the member ship of both old parties is progres sive. But through a vicious and un democratio convention system and under the evil influences which have been permitted to thrive at Washing ton. both party organizations have fallen under the domination and con trol of corrupt wealth, devoting the powers of government exclusively to selfish special interests. “An analysis of • the platforms adopted by the two old parties will show that the real issues have been Ignored nnd that the candidate of either party, If elected, will go into office with no specific pledges what soever binding him to the people, while he will be under the most im mediate necessity and obligation of serving the party bosses and preda tory interests to whom he owes his nomination and upon whom he must rely for election. Promises Not Kept. “But even if both republican and democratio conventions had adopted thorough going progressive platforms, the American people have learned that neither party can be trusted to keep its promises. Both parties within the last quarter of a century have regarded their platforms, as they regard them today, not as a con tract with the people and a pro gram of action, but as devices to catch votes and to gain political office, with all its opportunities for personal aggrandizement and private profit for those who are willing to be tray a public trust. "To break the combined power of the private monopoly system over the political and economical life of the American people is the one para mount issue of the 1924 campaign. “If the progressives will but unite with a single purpose to meet this issue fearlessly and squarely, they may rely with entire confidence upon the support of the plain people, who are the victims of the present sys tem and who have the right and the power, through the ballot, to control their own government. "The people know that their gov ernment at Washington is now, and has been for a quarter of a century, in the hands of small but successful groups, acting together and controll tng it In their own interests. "Each group dictates production and prices in its own field. "Wtihln the last 25 years It has thus come about that these powerful groups, through the control of mar kets and prices, have doubled and trebled the cost of sustaining human life—of housing, warming, clothing and feeding the American people. "Tho Americnn people are honest, intelligent, patriotic, industrious and frugal. And yet, In a land of untold wealth, dedicated to the principle of equal opportunity for all, special privileges to none, life has become ft desperate struggle for the average man and woman. The millions who work on the farms, in the mines, in transportation. In the factories and shops and stores, with all their In dustry and saving, find themselves poorer at the end of the year than at the beginning. "The mighty power which has en abled a few to amass enormous wealth at the expense of the many, now so completely controls the fed eral government that timid nnd reac tionary men In public life who cling to the old parties dare not brook Its opposition. "The underlying reason. Indeed, why both parties have failed to take the people’s side in the present cri sis is that neither party can openly attack the real evils which are under mining representative government without convicting themselves of treachery to the voters during their most recent tenures of office. Ijong Violation. "The private monopoly system has ' grown up only through long con tinued violation of the law of the 'and and could not have attained Its present proportions had either the democratic or republican parties faithfully and honestly enforced the law. "The people of the United States voted In ll)is that the power of monopoly must be destroyed and President Wilson, then tho candidate of the democratic party, gave his pledge that the will of the peopte should be faithfully executed. “These statements from the demo cratic candidate wore accepted as true by tho American people In tho campaign of 1912, coupled with the platform pledge of the democratic party in that your. That speolflo pledge rends an follows: " 'A private monopoly Is Indefensi ble and Intolerable. We, therefore, favor the vigorous enforcement of tho criminal ns well ns tho civil law against trust offlclnls, nnd demand tho enactment of such additional legislation an may be necessary to make It Impossible for a private monopoly by enforcement of the criminal sections of the nnti-trust laws. These sections should and must, be enforced If tho power of business is ’io be broken. RUSSELL MAUGHAN REACHESNEWYORK Mltchel Field, N. T.. July 4.— Lieut. Russell L. Maughan, who flew from here to San Francisco between dawn.and dusk of one day, has com pleted his return journey. He ar rived at 8:20, daylight saving time, having flown from Dayton, O., in four hours and six minutes. "Had a fine trip," Lieut. Maughan said on alighting.

The mere act of love Is not In Itself sufficient for the young girl of to day. She has become cold, calculat ing and utterly disdainful of what rnce was called the ‘superior right' of man.” This Is the summing-up of Marcel Prevost, French Academician and one of the world's most famous feminist experts, on the girl of 1924. "No longer does the girl adore the man,” he says. "She has had enough of blind worship. Her eyes have been opened at a tender age, and she see* a man as he is, with all his faults, his pettiness, his dlsagreeablllties. "In the days of Victoria It might have been said that love was blind. Now, however, love Is anything but blind, and modern men are Just be ginning to find this out.'’ REVOLUTION in DIVING INDUSTRY Melbourne, Australia, July 4—A revolution In the diving industry Is promised by the Invention of a new diving appliance which Is stated to dispense with the us® of pumping.

A daring bandit trio of youths be tween 18 and 19 years old held up four motoring parties within an hour on country roads near Omaha early Friday morning. Their apparent mode of operation was to rob one party on a main highway and then rush along a road running north and south to one of the main arteries out of the city, where they would lie In wait for another victim. Two of the parties reported thefts totaling $73.50. Another reported the loss of a ruby ring and a pocketbook, but fnlled to state the amount con tained in the purse. W. J. Raiser, 2304 Douglas street, who was riding along Center street with two girls who refused to give their names, was the first to report to police. He said he was stopped by three youths in an old car. The bandits ordered him to ‘'stick ’em up." It was he that lost the ruby ring and pocketbook. Robbed or $62.50. Fifteen minutes later B. O. Jones, who gave his address as 2619 Chi cago street, called police and reported that he had been held up at Nine tieth and Dodge streets and robbed of $62.60. The bandits apparently had followed Ninetieth street from Center after robbing Balser. After robbing Jones, the bandits again headed south to Center street and Pappio creek, where they held up a man named Magowan. He did not report the amount of his loss to po lice. Again the bandits went north, across Dodge street, to Eightieth and Redlck streets, where they encounter ed William Snell, 3020 Meredith ave nus; Gregg Wakefield, 4413 North Thirty-first street, and Carroll Fras er, 4601 North Thirtieth street. The three men were changing a tire as the youthful bandits drove up. Hate to I)o It” "It’s tough luck. We sure hate to do it," they said as they relieved Snell and Wakefield of $11 In cash. Although the bandits were operat ing outside the city limits police were sent out from Central station to comb the roads for the young holdups. This morning's robberies follow others that have been reported on county roads within the las* two weeks, but never before have the bandits been so daring. A trio was reported working the county roads a week ago, but police said that descrip tions given of them did not corres pond to those of this morning's ban dits. PORTUGAL POOR; CITIZENS PROSPER London, July 4.—Prodigal has a "poor government but a prosperous people,” according to Sir Murdoch MacDonald, who has Just returned from that country, where he went to act as a consulting engineer to the Portuguese government. "My general Impression of Portu gal,” Sir Murdoch said, 'is that the people are extremely industrious, particularly In agriculture. The gov ernment Is, however, poor in the sense that Its revenue does not meet its expenditures. Tet the people them selves seem to be exceedinly prosper ous, and it only requires the balanc ing of her budget to put Portugal satisfactorily on her feet again.” Sir Murdoch made an exhaustive survey of the country’s natural re sources and outlined several schemes of development which are now being considered by the Portuguese govern ment.

New York, July 4.—A cabinet de partment to make husbands happy, with a woman at the head, was advo cated here by Mrs. Margaret Shotwell of Omaha, who visited the national democratic convention. “This convention reminds me of spring cleaning," Mrs. Shotwell said. “They have moved everything out and do not know how to get It all back again. “I am urging a cabinet post for a woman. We have one for the army, one for the navy, one for the farmer, one for the financier and so on down the line, but none for the home. “The department I am urging would be known as the ‘Home Eco nomics department,' and would have a woman at the head. It would deal with children, clothes and how to keep husbands happy. "This would lead to shorter con ventions. Men would Insist upon get ting back to their homes and not hanging around gatherings like this." Mrs. Khotwell will sail Saturday for a three month’s visit In Europe. She says this Is the most unconventional convention she has ever seen. Her appearance on the speaker’* platform caused a stir among the delegates. She wore a tightly draped black satin gown, braided In gold, and a small satin hat trailing a Lord Fauntleroy plume. Her golden hair Is bobbed. McAdoo Manager Attributes Bribe Story to Smith Governor’s Boosters Masquer aded as Californian’s Men Offering to Pay for Votes, Claim. By I'nivernal Servlet. New York, July 4.—Judge David Ltdd Rockwell, campaign manager of William Gibb* McAdoo, has al leged that Smith booster, masquer ading as McAdoo men, had gone among Smith delegates, Intimating that generous financial compensation would be paid for their votes. Judge Rockwell made the charge when informed that Gen. Charles H. Cole, delegate-at-large from Massa chusetts, had alleged that cash bribes had been offered members of his dele gation to shift from Smith to Mc Adoo. Judge Rockwell said: Challenged to Give Proof. "I challenge General Cole or any other Smith man to produce the slightest evidence that any author ized McAdoo agent has offered the slightest financial or other substan tlal offer In exchange for votes for McAdoo. Of course, we would not countenance any such propositions. Even If we did, we would be unable to liquidate. Our treasury Is empty. We are borrowing money to meet ex penses." Vice Chairman J. Bruce Kremer of the democratic national committee, floor manager for McAdoo, said: “Let General Cole bring on his evi dence. I dare him to do so.” General Cole said: "It Is true that I have been In formed that cash bribes were offered to former Senator Thomas D. Green of Charleston, Mass., and former Rep resentative Robert Dinemore of East Boston, Mass., to switch from Smith to McAdoo. I advised them to pre pare affidavits and proof of their al legations. so we can present the case to the federal prosecuting authori ties." No Specific Amounts. General Cole was asked: “Were any specific amounts of money offered Messrs. Green and Dlnsmore?" General Cole replied: “They told me they were assured tbat If they would shift to McAdoo they would be paid liberally. I do not know that any specific amounts of money were mentioned.” RAIDERS FIND LIQUOR SOURCE When Bobert Samnrdick, Sergeant Joseph Potach and the prohibition squad, raided the home of Sam Clrco, 1412 South Fourth street, they were puzzled ns how and where he kept his liquor supply.

Speaking of his most recent find* In the tomb of King Tut, Mr. Carter said: “I see a direct similarity between the custom* of the people of King Tut’s day In Egypt and the people of modern times. The simple plate I uncovered In the tomb, a sort of baa relief sculpture, convinces me of this. And, together with the records al ready found, I feel that we will be In a position to shed a most valuable light on the growth of many modern religions and philosophies." Mr. Carter said that the work of translating the documents and study ing the works of art found in King Tut s tomb la now being carried on by Prof. James Henry Breasted of the University of Chicago, who waa present at the second opening of the famous tomb. The douements thus far found and translated reveal most Interesting facts concerning social religious con ditions which prevailed toward the end of the 18th dynasty in ancient Egypt. According to Mr. Carter, the revel ations concern the period of unreet and unemployment which followed closely upon the heels of the aboli tion of the old Polytheistic religion, which resulted from a prolonged revolution launched by Ikhnaton, father-in-law of King Tut.
