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 17 POLICEMEN FILE MANDAMUS SUIT Sov»n:<>«n former rnf-rnbfMK of thr police force, (Uncharged by the city council May 13. filed suit againttt th« woven city coimnijodoners Thursdaj in district court, demanding reinstate nient.

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."
