H.ey were equipped with automobile
liorna, horse fiddles, tom toms and
rnything else that would make a
raise.
Hand turned airena, such aa are

mendous siren which would have

sized town was set going.
Disheveled .Marchers Kxhausted.
For an hour and a half the din
continued, one continuous wave of
noise In which no particular sound
ould he distinguished. The, march
es, disheveled, soaked in perspira
ion and rumpled, kept It up until
they were at the point of exhaustion
and the signals were given to quiet
down.
From that point the roll call of the
tales continued and when the ad
journment was taken for the day, the
record of things accomplished so far
showed that the convention had be
ore it, placed In formal nomination
or the presidency, the following:
William G. McAdoo of California.
Alfred E. Smith of New York.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson of
Arkansas.
Senator Samuel M. Ralston of
Indiana.
Former Senator Willard Sauls
bury of Delaware.
Governor Jonathan Davis of
Kansas.
Governor Ritchie of Maryland.
Former Secretary Houston.
Senator Ferris of Michigan.
Senator Underwood of Alabama.
And the program provided for al
most as many to come.
Sub-committee Still Busy.
Meanwhile the small subcommit
tee of the platform committee still
as at work attempting to harmonize
he conflicting views into a party
•tatform. While it was making
nrogrens- word was sent to the con
ention hall that the platform could
not be brought In before Friday.
Negotiations were begun among
lie floor managers for an adjourn
ment. National Committeeman
'•Creiner of Montana, one of the Mc
Vdno leaders, and David Ladd Rnck
vell, Mr. McAdoo's campaign mana
,er, were opposed to more than a re
•ss for dinner. They wanted to con
;inue the session tonight.
On the other hand, some of the
■ ther leaders who have openly ex
pressed their sympathy for the Smith
■andidacy wanted to adjourn until
Friday morning at 10:30.
Mr. Kremer mover for a recess.
I’hen John J. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn
moved to amend Mr. Kremer's mo
'ion to provide for an adjournment
i• ntil Friday morning at 10:30. The
- horus of ayes and noes on that
"emed so evenly divided that the
■ hairman could not decide and a roll
i all was ordered.
■Smith Against Night Session.
The wold was passed about the
floor that the New York delegation
wished to prevent a night session be
■ a use It wished to avoid coming to
the point of balloting for candidates
until the Ku Klux Klan issue in the
platform had been disposed of.
The McAdoo leaders plainly showed
'hat they wanted to force a night
■a ssion and dispose of the nominating
t'eeches, so t'hat the convention
■ 'Uld proceed to balloting before the
port of the platform committee was
ought in.
During the calling of tlie roll, both
T. Kremer and Mr. Rockwell stood
n the speakers' platform dose to
' halrmnn Walsh. Mr. Kremer dial
nged a vote in favor of an ml
urnment until tomorrow cast by a
legate from the Philippies, and Mr
.ockwell insisted on knowing where
lie delegate lived. The three men
nit their heads together In discus
on and a delegat cad ted from the
floor:
"Who's chairman up there any
way?”
E. H. Moore, new national commit
'tetnan from Ohio, challenged the
1 ote from the Panama canal zone,
lit was overruled, delegations ha\ Inc
McAdoo support which had voted In
favor of an adjournment instead of a
lecess began ohangii v their votes
with announcem-nts that they had
voted under a misapprehension.
Finally, after a long tangle, the
vote was counted and it was found
18 votes had teen cast against the
imposition to merely r- cess as pro
used by the McAdoo managers and
I.? 1-2 votes h id been cast In favor
f it. The vote ,on the adjournment
,iiickly followed and the convention
died out to return to its work to
morrow.
.Just how far the vote could be
counted as a tesl of strength between
tile McAdoo and Smith factions is
well a matter of question. The fact
undoubtedly was that a majority of
delegates, whatever their sympathies
in the contest for the nomination
might be. were tired and worn out
ifter a seven-hour continuous session
and were looking forward to some of
'he entertainment provided for them
during the evening.
When they reassemble tomorrow
morning, the delegates will still be
faced wilh enough nominating
speeches to keep them all day, and
<hould the platform committee be
ready to report, there might tie a
night session. If the platform is
taken up for immediate consideration,
bat plan of procedure would throw
the beginning of the balloting for
,'i ealdei it over until Saturd .

Prosecutor Reads

Palmistry A alualile Index to

< nrrr-pumtriit.
\V. shingion. June ”6—If ever the
"weak Mister” ail prosecutors dread
slips into a jury trying a case Miss
Mabel Walker Willebrandt] assistant
attorney general, is fighting, it will
lie because lie wears gloves in court.
Miss Willebrandt, who is in charge
of prohibition enforcement cases for
the Department of Justice, is a palm
ist of expert ability.
Not only can she pore over a per
son's palm, reading detail after de
tail out of the lines therein, but she
can snatch up a dear notion of the
subject's general character by a has
tv glance at the whole paint.
Some of us. when we receive a
visitor, study his features. Others of
us judge him by his clothes. Still
ulliers form un opinion by manner
isms or gestures.
Miss Willebrandt instinctively
studies the palms of her visitors and
finds that they tell her more than
the media relied upon by you or I.
“At first I became interested in
palmistry as an amusement.” she
said. "Then, when it fascinated me,
f discovered It to la* a science of Ini
portance exceeding amusement.
"I took it up as a serious study. T
find now that I can form a fairly ac.
curate mental picture of a person's
character by studying his palm. The
lines of the hand and their meanings
are unmistakable.
"Palmistry has been much ma
ligned. The average person's concep
tlon of It Is that it is a form of fake
magic practiced by gypsies and witch
doctors. They fancy that the future
tnay be discerned by studying the
palm. I find nothing to justify such
exaggerated notions. But as an index
to character and personality It can
not be overestimated.”
Miss Willebrandt was asked If a
person of bad habits or weak charac
ter in youth, who subsequently re
formed. would he compelled to go
through life with the negative mark
ings in the palm.
“No,” she said, “the lines of the
palm change with each change of the
subject, and the benefits of changed
environment nro easily seen."

what below last year's volume. Com
mercial loans at member hanks de
creased as there was a further de

Kspecial attention was called to the

commercial loans as reflecting a lull
In business. General reports appeared
to indicate that much of the business

making a total of $55. Canadians
