Sn prospect, It wa» up somebody's •Ireve. Nebraska gave Smith two more than formerly and gave one to Ral ston which he did not have before. The votes were taken from John W. Davis and Senator Walsh of Mon tana. Oklahoma Bolts. Oklahoma made the expected de parture from McAdoo and cast her 20 votes for Senator Owen, the senior senator from that state. It was a favorite son diversion to give the delegation a chance to look around. It was promptly challenged by a del egate and the poll was deferred to the end of the roll call. The North Carolina delegation vote for McAdoo was in the face of a de mand of the Davis adherents there for a poll. John G. Dawson of Kins ton, chairman of the state central committee, quieted the movement and went outside the hall to look around. The Davis people in the Tarheel del egation pocketed their sentiments, for the time anyhow, and continued to follow Iho unit rule for McAdoo. They' said a lot about what they woujd do later, but they agreed that nothing would be done "until John gets back from the show.” It de veloped that Dawson, having seen enough of one kind of a show, went out to see another. Smith Gets Another. Alaska took one from McAdoo and gave, it to Smith. It was only one vote,' but the Smith galleries made as much racket as if it had been 40. Anyway it eliminated McAdoo from the Alaska votes. On recurring to Oklahoma, the 20 were cast again for Senator Owen, the challenge was renewed and the .roll was called. ■^McAdoo votes were there, but un the unit rule the votes went for BH^^Ktotal for the leaders on the •0'Bkcn stood this way: 415.5; Smith, 311.5; Davis, loss of -1 for MpAa°°' for Smith and a loss -"vV Oklahoma came nt Davis followers, ' V u j’- A.

Senator Walsh, from whom they went, did not look a bit lisappointed and the Smith crowd got Tiuch noisy satisfaction out of it as if the whole six had been deposited.

The first marching demonstration of the night, was on. McAiloo Confers With Ritchie. While all the rumpus was In prog ress In the convention hall there were things doing outside. A closed cab rolled up on one of the side streets. William G. McAdoo stepped Put of it and entered a hotel just aerost) the corner from the garden. There he met Governor Ritchie of Maryland and the two men went into conference.

Missouri Action One of Revenge Friends of Champ Clark Blame McAdoo for Defeat at Baltimore. Madison Square Garden, New York, June 21.—When the Missouri delega tion left McAdoo today the friends of the late Champ Clark said the day they had been waiting for since 1912 had arrived. Next to William Jennings Bryan Clark's friends always felt McAdoo had as much as any man to do with the defeat of Clark at the Baltimore convention. From the opening of the present convention Clark's old followers, led by his son, Bennett, have operated under only one slogan: “Get after McAdoo.” "I don’t care whom they nominate so long as they defeat McAdoo,” Bn nett said as hour after hour, day after day, he circulated among dele gates. Joseph Shannon did everything he could to awing the delegation away from McAdoo, beginning with dis tributing a letter from a supreme court Justice attacking McAdoo. Sen ator Reed, another old friend of Clark and bitter enemy of McAdoo, aided with a statement from a sick bed. Norman E. Mack, floor manager of Smith's campaign, was Jubilant over the deflection of the Missouri delega tion from the McAdoo forces. “McAdoo has little or no reserve to throw in now," said Mack, "while we have reserves that have yet to be shown.” The Mack leaders said they would keep up the pounding all day long and through the night to weaken the McAdoo delegations.

Delegates Lose Fights Against Unit Provision Walsh Holds State Conven tion’s Final Authority When Missouri and Ken tucky Would Split Vote. New York. June 1.—Two fights against Impositions of the unit rule were lost in the democratic national convention today when Permanent Chairman Walsh held that state con ventions are the final authority on the question and that their decisions cannot be overruled by the conven tion itself. The Issue was raised by both Mis souri and Kentucky, a minority of whose delegates sought to break away and vote for candidate of their own choosing. Chairman Walsh, by another ruling, however, did permit the Florida delegation to spilt, but In this case the delegation was not vot ing as a unit under Instructions from a state convention, but the unit rule had been applied by a majority of the delegation. When the Missouri delegation to day changed its vote from McAdoo to Davis, there was a challenge by Mc Adoo members of the delegation and the question of the unit rule was argutsi before the convention. The convention of those who wanted the restrictions of the rule removed was that although the state convention instructed for McAdoo, the primary vote did not justify the Instructions. In the case of Kentucky, two dele gates from the Ninth district sought to break the rule, claiming they were instructed In their district convention for Underwood, although the state conventlpn later Instructed the whole delegation to vote ae a unit for Mc Adoo. Chairman Walsh held with the majority that the action of the state convention superceded that of the district convention. The Florida vote, which had been solid for McAdoo, was split after the unit rule was broken, in Its case, with 10 votes going to McAdoo and one each to Smith and Ralston. In this contest, Chairman Walsh declared that as no state convention gave Instructions to the delegation, the Individual members were answer able only to their constituents and could vote as they pleased, regard less of the preferences expressed In the Florida primary. CIRCUS ACTION IS RESCINDED Council Rluffs aldermen last night rescinded their action of a week ago. when they granted permission to rep resentatives of two large circuses to utilize the sides of buildings In the business district for display of adver tising banners.

Mute Messengers of a Nation In an underground telephone cable scarcely thicker than a man’s wrist there are 2400 threadlike copper wires, each pair providing a path for instant speech. These highways of the spok ;n word, buried beneath many an American city, are carrying thousands of voices simultane ously from office to factory and some from coast to coast. If released from their copper carriers, these messages would sound a Babel, in which none could be heard. Confusion be-' yond description would reign if this unhindered speech, now hushed by science in tiny strands, were voiced aloud. An average of 54,000,000 tele phone conversations speed daily over thewires of the Bell System. By hundreds in cables, by dozens in the open wires, they travel in silence side by side, to tind voice again only at their journey’s end. Muted as they pass from tele phone to telephone, they weave the pattern of the nation’s life.
