(Special to The Fiery Cross) : NEW YORK, July 7. Lawrence F. Quigley, fighting mayor of Chelsea, Mass., who made himself conspicuour all over the floor of the convention hall Saturday night by fighting the Klan, was again a trouble-maker the first thing Monday morning when the convention reopened and started balloting for the presidential nomination in the Democratic national
convention. It was the last flicker of an attempt to revive the fight on the Ku Klux Klan in this convention and it was promptly squelched by Chairman Walsh. Following is the story told in the official minutes of the convention stenographer: The Chairman The next order of business is the roll call by states for the vote for the nomination for president. The chair desires to make a preliminary announcement: Mr. Quigley Mr. Chairman. The Chairman The chair recognizes the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Quigley. Mr. Quigley Mr. Chairman, I rise to a point of information. I want to know the action, or what would be the result of the ruling of the chair.
if it be known to the chair, that a delegate who voted Saturday night
because of intimidation (Cries of "Sit down, sit down.") Mr. Quigley And that delegate had changed his vote and is now ready to vote the way his conscience dictates and ready to change his vote. I want to know the ruling of the chair. (Cries of "Put him out," "Out of order.") The Chairman The chair knows
of no way by which the question proposed by the delegate from Massachusetts can be inquired into. (Applause.) Mr. Roosevelt (Xew York) Mr. Chairman. The Chairman The chair recognizes the gentleman from New York. Mr. Roosevelt- I call for the regular order. (Applause.) The Chairman The regular order is the roll call. The chair desires to announce that on the roll call heretofore he has permitted the accuracy of the report made by the chairmen of the various delegations
to be challenged at any time until the final result is announced. In the interest of expedition the chair will hereafter require that anyone in a delegation desiring to challenge the
accuracy of the report made by the chairman must offer his challenge at the time or lose the opportunity of doing so. (Applause.) However, any delegate may himself arise and change his vote if ho desires to do so. (Applause.) Causes Much Disorder This man Quigley from Massa
chusetts caused all kinds of disorder ind confusion Saturday night in the session where the Klan won its noted fight. It was necessary to squelch him several times, as he was on his feet many times trying to get recognition from the chair, at which times lie challenged the vote of the New Hampshire delegation, the Georgia delegation, and being ruled out of order eacli time he finally challenged the vote of the entire convention and then he was boo-hooed out of existence.
Chairman Walsh ruled that no delegate had the right or authority to challenge the vote of any delegation except the one in which he sat as a delegate, and then only on the point of accuracy. Such has always been the rule in national conventions.

CHATTANOOGA, Term., July 5. The proposal for organic union of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church south waa approved late yesterday by the general conference of the southern church in special session here. It now goes to the annual conferences for ratification. The official vote was 297 to 75. The conference adopted a resolu
tion requesting that the annual conferences of 1925 be directed to vote on ratification of the union.
The Methodist Episcopal general conference at Springfield, Mass., recently accepted the proposal and ordered it submitted to its annual conferences in 1925 if the southern general conference should act favorably. Must Await Ratification Should two-thirds of all members of the southern conferences ratify the proposal the next step would be a meeting of the bishops of the two divisions as one body to notify
their respective general conferences of ratification of the union. They also would call on the two conferences to meet in joint session in the same city. Since the regular general conference, of the northern church does
not meet again until 1928, a special conference probably would be called in May, 1926, when the regular general conference of the southern
church will be In session. The motion to adopt the minority report, opposing acceptance of the unification plan, as a substitute for the majority report recommending it, was defeated by a standing vote recorded by the secretary as 275
to 66.
Vote Closes Bitter Debate Acceptance of the proposal came at the close of a bitter debate which began at "the morning session and was resumed with the opening of the afternoon session at 3 o'clock. The voting began at the conclusion of an impassioned address by Dr. R. P. Shuler of Los Angeles, Cal., in opposition to acceptance of the particular plan proposed. By the time Dr. Shuler had completed his remarks he had removed his collar and coat and the delegates weje cheering him. The vote on adoption of the majority report was by roll call. As
it progressed it was apparent the re
port would be adopted. One hundred and fifteen votes were required for
rejection and of the first 145 votes recorded , the "ayes" had polled 120
to 25 for the "noes."

Alarmed by the increase in smuggled drugs to this country, the federal narcotics control board, composed of Secretaries Hughes, Mellon and Hoover, recently obtained from Congress increased appropriations making an augmented corps possible. It was found that many ships coming into American ports have been bringing narcotic drugs, chiefly alkaloids. A shipment reached New York recently containing 42,000 ounces of morphine shipped as glow lamps. With only four men to a state and one to each 000,000 inhabitants, the narcotics division last year made 7.201 criminal cases. Of 4,479 tried, 4,194 were convicted. The prison sentences aggregated 4,692 years and
fines total $428,643. First stops in an extensive campaign against drug smugglers will be undertaken July 22, when applications will be received by the civil service commission for 125 additional narcotic agents. This will almost double the present force of 175 In the bureau of internal revenue.

Director of Veterans' Bureau Has Fistic Encounter With Texas Man

WASHINGTON, July 7. BrigadierGeneral Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, was involved in a fistic encounter with a former service man in- his office at the bureau today, suffering a cut over his left eye and bruises that required medical attention. According to witnesses, the veteran who edgaged in the affair was Thomas B. Deaver, of Houston, Texas, who had called to protest that a medical examination made at
San Antonio had injured his claim before the bureau. Deaver left im-
j mediately after the affray and offl-
j cials said no charges would be I riled against him. ' When Deaver protested to General ! Hines against the report of three i physicians who had examined him, ! it was said, the director called in ; Captain O. C. Shaw, chairman of the Hoard of Appeals, and the three ; were going over the case when the ; encounter developed. Shaw, it was '. added, attempted to separate the two ' and was turned upon by Deaver, but
the affair finally was quelled by
of procedure against 50 or more oil companies against certain of which anti-trust proceedings have been
brought in the Federal Courts of Chicago. 1 Marriage Law Discussed The national conference on uniform state laws, meeting in conjunction with the sectional sessions of the bar association delegates, took up the question of uniform marriage laws today. Mrs. Jennie Barron, Boston, representing the National League of Women Voters, asked that a law be enacted requiring a health certificate and compliance with a minimum age clause before marriage.
Mrs. Barron cited instances. In
certain states where children twelve and fourteen years old have been permitted to marry- and pledged her organization to support a measure to eliminate such conditions. Employment of trained men by courts to make abstracts of court procedure, such abstracts to be made readily accessible to the press of the country, was urged by Dr. Talcott Williams, director emeritus of the School of Journalism, Colum
bia University. Dr. Williams spoke before a conference on relations between the bar and the press. The task of the newspapers, he "said, In obtaining accurate legal news was extremely difficult. Reports and digests of American cases, Dr. Williams said, exceeded in number those of all other courts of the world combined.
Toe of Union in Chair
Determination of the conference to reach a decision on the question
yesterday was indicated by its agree
ment to continue in session until
its work was completed without re
gard to the customary adjournment
at 6 o clock.
Bishop U. V. W. Darlington of Huntington, W. Va., was in the chair
when the unification plan was approved. He was one of the three bishops opposed to the union under the proposed plan. In the morning session Bishop F. G. Richardson of Atlanta of the Methodist Episcopal church, who is a visitor in Chattanooga, was invited to the platform and Introduced
to the conference. Bishop Richardson expressed the hope that the two
churches would be united.
