NEW YORK 60ES FOR CLARK Both the Speaker and Wilson Still Lack Many Votes to Effect Nomination. Baltimore.—A sensational break in the New York delegation, which gave that state’s ninety votes to Champ Clark on the tenth ballot in the demo cratic national convention Saturday morning, carried the speaker to a to tal of 556 out of the 1,088 delegates, but still left him 170 votes short of the two-thirds vote necessary' to a choice. I he balloting was continuing at an early hour in the morning with the Clark forces outwardly confident and the Wilson managers doggedly claim ing that the final “break" would come to the New Jersey governor. The Clark managers jubilantly claimed that every democratic candi date who ever reached a majority in the convention always succeeded in getting the required two-thirds. The conclusion of the twelfth ballot at 2:55 a. m. found the vote of the leaders: Clark, 547*8; Wilson. 354. as against 554 for Clark and 354 >3 for Wilson on the eleventh. No choice. Underwood received on the twelfth ballot. 123; Harmon, 29; Marshall. 30; Kern, 1; Bryan, 1; not voting. 2*i. At 3:05 a. m. the convention ad journed until 1 o'clock Saturday after noon. The heat in the hall was stifling and the proceedings dragged heavily. The delegates gossiped among them selves or perused newspapers. The leaders of the various factions hurried about the hall. The air was full of rumors of “deals" and “trades.” A shift that would throw a deciding vote to one candidate or another was looked for on every ballot by some delegates, while others expected an all-night session. After the long-predicted break in the New York delegation a great de monstration broke out among the speaker's friends and delegates. While it was in progress there were several fisticuffs on the floor. Murphy announced that the New York delegation showed eighty-one for Clark, eight for Wilson and one for Underwood, but under the unite rule gave all its ninety votes to Clark. The first ballot was taken early Fri day morning, after which adjourn ment was taken. When the conven tion met in the afternoon. Chairman James announced that the roll call for the presidential nomination would be resumed at once. Several minutes were required to clear the floor and restore order. « States continued to follow the first ballot. No changes occurred in the poll as the vote proceeded through the list of states, until Massachusetts was reached. Here one vote bro>-? away from Clark, who had received the state's entire thirty-6ix. and was add ed to the Wilson column. Another break of one vote from the Clark to the Wilson standard came in the New Hampshire delegation. The speaker received seven and Wilson one of the second ballot, where he had received eight on the first. The accession to the Wilson strength, while small, was greeted with a storm of applause from Wilson sympathizers. A break of two delegates from Un derwood came into the New Jersey delegation and two given Underwood on the first ballot went to William Sul.-er of New York on the second. In North Carolina Governor Wilson lost one-quarter of a vote. The first ballot had given Wilson 16*4, the sec ond 16*4. Clark and Wilson gained a vote each in Ohio, while Governor Harmon lost one. Ballot succeeding ballot was taken until the twelfth had been recorded •sith no result, whereupon adjourn ment was taken till 4 p. m. Saturday. Cuban Rebel Leader Killed. Santiago, Cuba.—General Evaristo Estenoz. the rebel leader, and 100 in surgents were killed in a battle at Vega Bellaco, six miles from Mie&ra, in the vicinity of Soago, by govern ment troops under command of Lieu tenant De La Torre, yesterday.

Washington.—The threatened tieup of the government departments on1 July 1 because of the failure of con gress to pass the big appropriation bills is not likely to occur, according to high officials and members of the cabinet who talked with President Taft. Cabinet officers were of the opinion that in most instances em- ' ployes of the departments who hold their positions under statutes can be ■ kept at work after July 1 whether con- | gress passes the appropriation bills or not Gompers Appeals.

Baltimore.—Gossip as to the vice ' presidency failed to crystalize. the; delegates almost despairing of cor- j rectly analyzing the situation and con- ; tent to let it work itself out Friday night as the balloting manipulations progress.

Nesbit It Is not written in books of fate that the Fourth of July is any day to propose to a girl. Christmas day. Thanksgiving day. New Years day. or any other day will do, but the Fourth is not romantic; it is patriotic. On that day a man is supposed to love his native land. He is to listen to speeches, or make them, about the indivisibility of our country He is to watch the fireworks—where they are permitted—and not do any sparking on his own account. Every day is Fourth of July to some men. They have made up their minds that they hope to marry a certain girl, but when it comes to stating their de cision the tongue cleaves to the roof of the mouth and the right arm seems to have lost its cunning. Jim Hicks was such a man. When love making was concerned, all days were the Fourth for him. Otherwise his name would have been Armand Decourcey. As It was. he was Just what you would expect of a man of that name. Jim had been “keeping company” off and on with Luella Miller for a matter of three years. This guaran teed him a certain standing as her “beau.” but what woman wants to go on forever that way? L-uella had read plenty of those ; Chambers stories wherein the dash- . ing hero meets the beauteous heroine ( at 10:00 a. m., proposes at 11:00. and j takes the noon train for the wedding j trip. She wanted a bit more dash in Jim. The trouble is. however, with the Jim Hickses of this world. that the ! more the women of their choice en courage them the more their bashfnl ness increases. It is not entirely bashfulness, It Is cowardice. Coward ice is a strong term to use when speaking of a big. strong man. but it is nothing else than that which so terrifies a man when he sees wayward ringlets of sunny hair, and a white hand “accidentally” rests upon his for a moment, or a pair of clear, confiding eyes look earnestly Into his eyes. At ! snch times snch a man becomes as j weak as a string, and looks for some place to hide. He can tell a dozen men at a time what he thinks of ! them, but he is afraid to tell one tittle , woman. This is not to do a tnree-voiume novel. It Is not going to trace the psychological growth of Luella's af fection for Jim nor the subliminal de- ; velopment of Jim’s attachment for La ella. Nothing of that sort happened with them. Neither of them could tell yon when they made up their minds that they wanted each other. Only * analytical amorists can do this. On Luella's mind was the one im portant thought which rests upon the mind of every woman when she has | found the right man. That was to make Jim propose. The romantic no tion that a woman in love is a coy. ■blushing thing, timorous, trembling, afraid of the great masculine creature, may be justified in some cases. But with the Luellas and Jims of this world it does not obtain. Luella had exhibited to Jim her deftness as a cook; she had acquainted him with her cleverness as a needleworker, she bad demonstrated over and over that she would make an ideal wife. But Jim hadn't proposed. Consequently, on the Fourth, when Luella saw Henry Nelson, the bgd boy sf the village, with a huge cannon cracker he had kept secreted since ! last year, and which he proposed to | explode somewhere during the day or I evening, she made war plans. “Henry.” she said, "don't you know it's against the law to have such a firecracker?" “Aw,” Henry muttered. “I don't know.” “Well, it is. And if the marshal finds it out he will put you in the lockup as an example.” “Aw! Somebody's always makin’ a example o' me. I s'pose you’re goin’ to go an' blab on me now.” "I won’t, if you'll do something for me—and it will be a whole lo; of fun for you, Henry.” "Wot?” “Don't you want to play a good joke on Jim Hicks?” “Aw! He’s your feller.” “Well, anyhow, Henry, I'll tell you how to play a good joke on him, and I'll help you to do it. You come up by our house this evening, and Jim will be there. Ill get him to stand at the gate and talk to me. and you i slip up and set off your big firecracker , right behind him. That'll scare him j half to death, and will be just lots of fun for you." "Aw! Wot d'ye want to scare him j fer?” ; 1 “Well, you know how big and strong j he is, and how brave he acts. Let's 1 see if we can't get a good one on him. ‘ Henry." “Aw! I was goin' to shoot this off | behind the school teacher." But at last Luella managed to con- * rince Henry that he could have more fun with the cannon cracker by ex ploding it behind Jim than if he set : it off anywhere else. Jim never has understood why Lu- 1 ella was waiting at the gate for him that evening, nor why she kept him standing there, talking of the weather and the crowd down town and this, that, and everything. It had always been her custom to greet him at the i front door, and to express surprise at seeing him. This is one of the enjoy able Actions of courtship. i “I think it is so lovely when the 1 stars come out as they are coming out 1 tonight, don’t you?” Luella was asking 1 Jim. I Bang!! Luella shrieked and fainted dead ; away, apparently, but . she fainted ] toward Jim in such a manner that the i gate swung open and she reposed i limply against his manly bosom Under the circumstances, there was i but one thing Jim could do. and that i was to teep her from falling to the ] ground. This is best accomplished in i the case of a fainting lady by placing vonr arms about her and allowing her < bead to rest on your shoulder. This < comes natural to most men. What ! t else Jim did. and what he said to j Luella to calm her fears and to re- , \ive her to consciousness may only be conjectured. Henry ,\e.sQo. nu»e\er, sept up a : i derisive series of yells and howls of , laughter, and Luella at last opened j her eyes and ashed dreamily: “Where am I?” ' Henry shouted: "Aw! He was a- , huggin’ you. an’ he hissed you!” Then Henry turned and fled. Jim shaking a fist after him. “Luella," Jim said. “1—I'm ashamed —but Henry told the truth. When you \ fainted in my arms I just couldn’t ! help hissin’ you." "Why. Jim!” 1 “An’ now he’ll tell it all over town, 1 an’ I don’t want to have people talkin' ' about you without good reason, so— ] so—hadn't we better have ’em say we’re engaged?" . 1 And then it looked as though Lu alia bad fainted all over again, WHEN it’s meal time— and your appetite is keen—and you try to think of some tasty things to eat —don’t tax your mind— don’t fret and fume.

Finally one of the old fel lows made a fatal break. Quick as a dash his opponent moved his knight into position and softly murmured, “Check!"
