ASSERTS M’ADOO WONT REFUSE

CLOSE FRIEND OF THE EX-SEC-RETARY DECLARES LATTER WILL ACCEPT.

San Francisco, June 27. — Friends of William G. McAdoo have received what they characterize as assurance that if nominated Mr. McAdoo will accept. The deflnite statement that Mr. McAdoo would accept was made by Thomas B. Love, INational committeeman from Texas. “I say with assurance that if nominated, he will accept,” Mr. Love declared in a formal statement. ... , . While Mr. Love declined to elaborate/ McAdoo supporters were unanimous in declaring that it might be taken as authentic. Mr. Love is one of Mr. McAdoo’s close personal friends, was an assistant secretary of the treasury under him, and during the last year, has been very active in creating McAdoo sentiment. Mr. Love’s statement follows: ' “The question is frequently asked whether, in view of Mr. McAdoo’s sincere desire that his name not be presented to the convention, he would accept the nomination if made. . .. “I say with assurance that .if nominated, he will accept. _ “The constantly increasing demand for Mr. Adoo’s nomination among arriving uninstructed delegates convinces me that he will be nominated. Texas will cast _ forty votes for him from the beginning until he is nominated.”

Democratic convention opened Monday with Wilson forces exerting all their influence to secure the nomination of McAdoo. Three cabinet members —Burleson, Meredith, and Colby—-passing the word to delegates, a majority of whom are officeholders. President Wilson will ask convention to incorporate plank in platform stating that United States gave its pledge at the time the armistice are signed to join the .league of nations. Bryan gives out a dry-as-a-bone plank, and Postmaster General Burleson counters with a plank to amend the Volstead act.* National Woman’s party to hold war council tomorrow to fix party blame if thirty-sixth state has not ratified suffrage act by Aug.

Too many serge suits and not enough overalls. Too many decolletes and not enough aprons. Too many satin upholstered limousines and not enough cows. Too many customers and not enough producers. Too much oil stock and not enough savings accounts. Too much envy of the results of hard work and too little desire to emulate. . „ . Too much of the spirit of get while the getting is good” and not enough of the old-fashioned Christianity. ...

CIRCUIT COURT FINDING AFFIRMED BY SUPREME COURT

The Indiana supreme court has affirmed the decision of an important case tried by Judge C. W. Hanley in the Jasper circuit court. Minutes of the finding of the higher court are given below: Accounting—Pleas in Abatement —Venue. 10383. Robert Caterwood vs. Cornelia Caterwood et al. Jasper C. . Affirmed. Nichols, J. (1) This is a suit by the appellees for partition and an accounting in regard to an 800-acre farm in Benton county. The appellant obtained an injunction in a Chicago court against the prosecution of the suit for accounting, all of the parties being residents of Chicago, but the appellate court of Illinois reversed this judgment after partition had been made of the lands and before the cause was finally finished. Thereafter by changes of venue the cause reached the court below. This court had jurisdiction of the suit regardless of the fact that a suit involving the accounting was pending in a court in Chicago, as a similar suit in another state is not a cause for abatement. (2) The fact that the Benton circuit court had heard and determined the matter of partition did not prevent the granting of a change of venue, especially where the appellant was the one who asked for the change. (3) The appellant’s answer admits numerous demands for an accounting, so that the omission of such fact from the findings is not material. (4) It appearing that appellant in the management of the farm was acting as trustee, he can put no reliance upon the tenancy of a co-tenant to make the occupier liable for rentals. (5) The record showing that the term was extended to complete this cause, the judgment was not rendered in vacation. (6) The Illinois litigation being for the benefit of the appellant and for the benefit of the estate, appellant was not entitled to reimbursement of such costs out of the income from the farm. Two local attorneys were engaged in this case. Attorney Moses Leopold represented the plaintiff and Attorney G. A. Williams the defense.

HALF BULLION SAVED.

Washington, June 28.—(Special correspondence)—“The Repubticaki Congress gave to the country a standing army that will cost less than the proposed Democratic Army by 8592,000,000, to which must be added the hundreds of millions of dollars that would have been required for compulsory military training,” declared Representative William E. Andrews. “This is practical retrenchment. The Secretary of War, on behalf of the Federal administration, submitted estimates and recommendations for an army of 576,000 enlisted men and 28,000 officers. When asked why so many enlisted men and officers would be required, the Secretary of War and the Chief of Staff replied that 275,000 to 300,000 men would be needed in Europe to enforce our obligations under the League of Nations. An army on foreign soil would be much more expensive that it would be at home. Thus it is clearly disclosed that the Federal administration desired to re-organ-ize the army and conduct compulsory training that would have required >2,000,000,000 a year. The Republican Congress replied to those demands by authorizing in its army reorganization bill a standing army of 280,000 enlisted men and 17,800 officers. The annual coot of an army of 280,000 men will be approximately >560,000,000.”
