JVU mm THIRD PARTY PREDICTED BY SEN. Genuine Progressive Nominee, Thoroughly Dry, Must Be Choice of Democrats, De clares Bryan's Candidate. COLBY IS DARK HORSE WAITING AND WILLING Oklahoman Sizes Up Situation As Battle Between Conserva tives and Progressives, Each Having Mixed Support. By WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMS, International N Service Staff Correspondent. San Francisco, July 5. A third party was predicted today by Sena tor Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, candidate for the democratic nomi nation. Unless the San Francisco convention can get together, he said, on a genuine progressive, its nomi nee's chances of winning next No vember would be materially les sened through a- new party coming into the field and causing defections. Senator Owen, in his interview, given exclusively to the Interna tional News Service, had much to say of the goings on inside conven tion' hall, while William Gibbs Mc Adoo, Governor James M. Cox and Attorney General Palmer, the "big three"! among the candidates, came in for a few observations. , Secretary of State Colby, he said, as a possible dark horse, is "wait ing and willing." Struggle for Power. "In the convention," Senator Owen declared, in sizing up the sit uation, "there is a great struggle go ing on for power, with many cross currents. In the main the forces are between the more conservative ele ments and the more progressive ele ments, tach candidate, however, hav ing a mixed support made up of these elements, . . "In genenU the conservative ele ments, aided by the 'wets,'' are be hind Mr. Cox. But even iir Ohio there are progressive men and women who support Cox. Behind McAdoo likewise is a mixture, though very many of his support ers are genuine, heartfelt progres . sives who believe he is progressive and thathe represents the ideals of FresidentWilson. "Also behind MAdoo's candid acy, a very vigorous group of fed eral officials who are indebted to Mr. McAdoo for past favors are it) natural expectation of future reward.

Burglars Get $3,439 , In Bakery Robbery; Most of Loot Checks The Peterson & Pegau bakery, Twelfth and Jackson streets, was robbed late Saturday night or early Sunday morning of $3,439 in cash and checks. . The tnonev was taken from the company safe in the of-; hces on the second floor ot the building. Only $158 of the amount stolen was cash. The remainder was in checks endorsed by the company to the Merchants National bank. The robbery was discovered last night by Milton Peterson, general sale's manager. Peterson -went to' the safe to make an investigation after O. Peterson, general superintendent, informed hTm that at 2 a. m. yester day morning he had found the outer doors of the safe open and had closed them. The money and checks were placed in the safe and the combina tion turned by Frantz Weinert, bookkeeper, just before Weinert and his sister, Katherine, left the office at S p, tn. Saturday. L. M.

' By WILLIAM J. BRYAN. (Written Eiirelv for International News Service.) (Copyright, 1920, by William J. Bryan.) San Francisco, July 5. The man who invented the submarine must have gotten the idea at a national convention, for there is no place where the "ship" for which the can didate waits is more likely to be sunk by some hidden projectile that strikes before its coming ,js known. All sorts of stories are afloat and a candidate and h'is friends are kept busy denying them. But these do not give as much trouble as the plots of leaders. When a block of votes turn from one candidate to another the audi ence cheers the result without know ing the cause. They have little idea of the undercurrent that controls a convention. Open nominations openly arrived at are badly needed. This article must be put upon the wire before the convention meets to day and J. cannot, therefore, discuss the balloting, but there is no indica tion of the unlocking of the dead lock, and the Reason for this situa tion is hard to fathom. The Cox contingent is held together by sev eral ties. First, the wets, hail him as their logical chiefs They think of him every time they are thirsty and their enemies with the time be tween drinks.

League. Kansas City, Mo., July S. Trie league of nations was denounced as "league of treason and covenant of rational death" by Senator James A. Reed, who returned here today from San Francisco, where he was refused to scat as delegate to the democratic national convention. Senator Reed, addressing a mas$ meeting, declared that he was pri-, vately assured "by grapevine mes sages" while his case was being heard, that the credentials commit tee of the convention would seat him if he vyould agree to keep silent in regard to the league of nations on the convention floor. His refusal to make such an agreement, was re sponsible for his being denied a seat, he said. ' - Send Convention Message.

Undaunted by the driving rain the little tots, shouting "Vive L'AmeriqueV marched from the Place De La Concorde to- the Tuilerics. Ambassador Wallace said after the ceremony that it was a most impressive and touching mani festation. ' 1 . . "The future of France lies in such children, the sons and daughters of the glorious soldiers who fought and died. under the immortal leadership of Marshal Joffre and his success ors," the ambassador declared in a short address.' The annual ceremony at La Fay ette's tomb in Picpus cemetery was held and wreathes placed on the tomb of the marquis, who are acquainted with old-fashioned politics. Charles Murphy is here as of old, except that some of his wax figures were melted when the unit rule was abolished. It is a strange sight to see the strength of the Empire state broken up and each delegate blowing where he listeth. James Nugent of New Jer sey, a past master of machine poli tics, is with Cox. His power wanes in proportion as the liquor question is settled, but he still has a clamor ing constituency for which he speaks. Hon. Thomas Taggart of Indiana is probably the most adroit indi viduality .behind the Cox boom. He knows the politics of yesterday as few do and he has all the passwords recessary to admit him ff the inner circles of the New York financiers. George Brennan of Illinois, suc cessor to Roger Sullivan, is the dominant factor in the Illinois dele gation. These men, having com bined the political power of a de cade, liquor traffic, anda group of big business men, are standing out for their man, and, to all outward appearances, following the line'., Job Holders For McAdoo.

JAPANESE WILL OCCUPY POINTS IN SAGliALIEN Announce Decision to Send Troops to Siberia, Pending Establishment of Stable Government. Washington, July' 5. Japan has decided to occupy such points of the province of Saghalien, Siberia, as it deems necessary pending the estab lishment there of a legitimate gov ernment and a' satisfactory settle ment for the massacre of 700 Japan ese at Nikolaivsk. The government's decision was published yesterday in the! . official gazette at Tokio and at the same time announced by Premier Haia'in his address at the" opening of the special session of the imperial diet. The premier also announced that Japanese troops would be withdrawn from those districts of Siberia where their presence no longer was needed. Japanese troops will not be with drawn from the Vladivostok region, however, the government holding that this stands on a different foot ing because Korea can be menaced ir the region, constitutes a point of strategic importance on the way to Saghalien. Premier Haras speech, as made public today by the Japanese, em bassy here, follows: "Special session of the diet being brief in duration, the government will propose only bills whose early passage is in the interest of national demand, viz: . Those concerning the national defense, the increase of coleries, the revision of pensions sys em, the improvement of judicjal system, the improvement of judi cial system and the development of national power. "Of our foreign relation, the ques tion of the renewal' of the Anglo Japanese alliance is under serious consideration by the government. The question of the Chinese loans, the government is gratified to note, has been solved by the for mation of a new consortium. By the question of Shantung is still unset tled, due to the failure of the Chinese government to accept the proposal for negotiations. "The event of Nikolaivsk is heart rending in the extreme. The gov ernment laments the fate of those who fell victims of atrocity and honor of the nation naturally de mands, positive action." Kentucky Casts One Vote for a Woman Auditorium, San Francisco, July 5. The first vote to be cast for a woman for the democratic presi dential nomination came today from the Kentucky delegation.

So far as convention' observers could ' remember, it was the first vote cast for a woman in the con ventions of either of the two great parties. NO BETS LAID DEADLOCK HOLDS TIGHT Managers and Camp Followers Exude Confidence and. Op timism, But It's All Conver sation and No Money Down. NO CHANGES MARK EARLY BALLOTS CAST Only Feeble Cheers Follow ' Manifestations of Loyalty and Sallies of Wits Bring Only Feeble Laughs. By ARTHUR M. EVANS. Chicago Trlhune-Omahn Be? Leased Wire. AuditoriumSan Francisco, July 5. the coon old deadlock is still with us, as deadly as ever, and withvquite as many padlocks. The Jeffersonians and Jacksonians entertain an am bition of making the San Francisco contention beat that of Baltimore in 1912 if possible in the number of ballots taken. A total of 36 have been fed through thehopper so far 10 more will bring it un ' to the number it took to name Woodrow Wilson the first time. The line. of reasoning by the lead ers is that prolonged balloting will throw the conclave up in bas-felief as "lintrammelled" and unresponsive to wire-pulling and "management bv groups of senators and politicians." Thev are trying to hit the eye of the public: The idea they will seec to get over is that-the deadlock will be brokeh by the delegates themselves. Pep. Is Lacking. Today there was a sag, a. lack of the bounce and pep of last week. The delegates were bright-eyed with Sunday's draughts of ocean ozone, but the emotional exaltation of pipe organ and sounding brass and jazz ing cymbal had worn off. The con vention was unable to react to the bedlamite urge of last week. The day was interesting, but rather soggy and somnolent. Many a nap was snatched bv both delegates and spectators. When fireworks were touched off 'the powder was a bit damp, and, although it was the "glorious Fdurth," technically,.speak- mg, still the rockets did not glare so readily as on Saturday. Seven hours at a stretch with 14 ballots, the delegates sat before tak ing time off for-proper nourishment and for "cbrkuses." At S o'clock they adjourned until 8:30. New Kind of Celebration. The clock hands point' to 10. but the hall is only sparsely filled. Same old pipfe organ groaning out cabaret songs, same old band breezing jazz out of the brasses.

Huntington, N. Y.. July 5. Yield ing to the noisy demands of 500 Huntington villagers assembled for the Independence day exercises, Wil liam Gibbs McAdoo, around whose standard several hundred delegates to the democratic convention have rallied since his name was placed in nomination, today delivered his first public utterance since the convention beean in San Francisco. . Speaking extemporaneously, he took as his theme patriotism and de votion to the vision of liberty-held by the revolutionary fathers. "We are here today . because a small group of patriots met together and, had fhe vision to' conceiVe a great idea and the courage . to carry it out," he said. ' Praises Old Soldiers. "No progress has ever been ac complished vithout vision, courage and performance. What .we achieved for liberty has always been a flam ing torch for the whole world.". He turned-toward a group of civil war veterans seated on the platform and continued: . "These men responded to their call to vindicate liberty and as a result organized a great union strong enough to vindicate democracy and destroy autocracy when the call came. "The men who died in Flanders gave their lives for a similar pur pose, for their vision of preserving liberty, and we niust not fail to re dedicate ourselves to their vision. Must Have Vision. "WhenI look about, and see the suffering 'abroad, not only among our allies, but among our late ene mies, it is enough to wring the heart of humanity." "We must draw from this a les son on the necessity of having vision and courage. There Is no progress standing still." . Referring to the place where the revolutionary hero, Nathan Hale, was captured 'by the British, he said: "Huntington is a place particularly fit for rededicating ourselves to this vision. We drink again here the Spirit of Nathan Hale, immortalized in the greatest utterance I know of: - 'I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country!' "This is a spirit every American citizen should cultivate." t Mr. McAdoo attended the exer cises merely as a spectator. Child Models in LondonX London July S.

Palmer Makes Spurt. It was following the 36th ballot of the convention that the recess was taken in the midst of a tryout of the candidacy of the attorney general, who had been slowly gaining since the 31st ballot in the middle of the afternoon. Palmer made his big spurt on the 35th ballot, when Ten nessee went to him in a block after voting for Ambassador Davis the early part of the day.
