A resume of other leading proposals submitted to the full committee on resolutions by *he sub-committee, nud which must be approved by the full committee before being put Into the democratic platform for submission to the convention, follows: WET AND DRV ISSUE. The sub committee made no reference directly or indirectly in its report to prohibition as an issue, leaving the full 1 committee to write a plank if any was deemed necessary on the subject. IRISH QUESTION. Recommends that the advocates' of Irish freedom be assured that their cause will be taken up by representatives of the United States government in the league of nations which provides a forum for discussion of the rights of independent cations or demands for Independence by subject nations. -MEXICO. Assures support to a stable Mexican government properly established, extends sympathy to the Mexican people in their long trial and warns that the rights of Americans on both sides of the border : mu ft be scrupulously respected. SOLDIERS’ BONI S. Emphatically opposes a cash bonus for soldiers who served in the great war. LABO R. Affirms right of collective bargaining: reaffirms the principle of the eight-hour day; declares arbitration hns proven unatisfaetory in many instance* as a means of settling disputes between employer and employee and recommends therefore that when the rights of the public are Involved, tribunals should he estatdished. one to hear grievances and attempt to settle, the second with power 1 to finally settle.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN 1 N DfSTRY. Opposes child labor and recommends measures for improving the condition of women In industry. Recommends laws that will better safeguard the health of children and prospective mothers. GENERAL TOPICS. Pledges the party to enactment and enforcement of strict laws to prevent profiteering; reaffirms the party’s tariff principles; endorses the administration’s recommendation of a budget system iu the government to eliminate waste; criticises the republicans for falling to render any relief from present tax burdens and pledges efforts to that end by the democrats; holds underproduction largely responsible for the high cost of living and urges general speeding tip of Industry and labor; pledges a continuance of a program for building up the American merchant marine and sets forth the usual reclamation, inland waterways and other development of natural resources recommendations. ADMINIBT RATION IN DORSEM EN T PLANK.

Did He Get a Breeze? Anew world’s high hurdle speed record was made by a “peeping Tom” eariy today. Mrs. Christina Henry, 1122 Spann avenue. discovered a man peering into a window of her home. Securing a revolver she fired one shot at him through the window. Running to the door she fired another shot at the peeker as he hurdled the back fence. “I’m a good shot and I believe he beat the bullet over the fence,” said Mrs. Henry today.

HE REPS BEST BET FOR BULB SALES Peg-Legged Rheumatic Threw A wag Cane. A wonderful cure for rheumatism has been discovered. Like all great cures the discovery was the result of an accident. An elderly man leaning heavily on a cane otul walking with faltering movement, his face showing pain at each step, appeared In the hallway of the city clerk s ofiice today. A Janitor standing on a step ladder polishing a chandelier looked at the old man and then naked. "What’s the matter? Are you crippled ?” •'I have a cork leg.” explained the • old man, “and I have rheumatism In the one good leg." Following the explanation, the old man started to limp down the hallway and the Janitor renewed bis es forts to clean the chandelier. Without warning there came a crush, followed hy tt noise that resembled the report of a shot gun. The chandelier dropped to the floor, and the electric light bulbs burst with a report resembling the firing of a gun. The chandelier hit directly behind the elderly man, who never looked to see what bad happened, but threw his cane away and ran downstairs. Ho! Ho! Hum! |&!> \ 'I here is one traffic cop in Indianapolis who has n soft Job. He is stationed at Meridian and New Fork streets. New >ork street is being repaired and Is closed to traffic. Consequently there is no cross traffic at the corner. All the cop has to do is to keep the “Go” sides of the semaphore facing north and south and watch the automobiles whir, by. Tell It to the Cops No longer is the old-fashioned town crier relied on to spread the news. Attorney John E. Ruckclshaus admits he has discovered the only sur* method of circulating society news. John attended a very exclusive society function at one of the most fashionable Indianapolis homes the other night. Attorney John was all dolled up in his evening suit and was a picture to behold, although few recognised him In his formal attire. Ruckelshnus decided he would let someone know who he was so the news could be spread. So the attorney walked across the spacious lawn of the mansion and soon ran Across several policemen and plain clothes inen guarding the house. Even the law didn't recognize John. “Now yon fellows,” said John, “go back to Judge I'rltchard and Judge Collins ad tell ’em you saw me at this affair. “Just tell them you saw me here.” Aand the news did spread even to the ears of the reporters. BiLlCouldn’tWait. The first Fourth of July arrest was made today. William O'Rourk, 18, of 2531 Shelhy street, was arrested, charged with placing explosives on tracks..

CHEERING FOR M’ADOO SOUNDS TRUE TO BRYAN Palmer and Cox Demonstrations More ‘Ordered’ Events, Commoner Says. OTHERS MERELY LOCAL By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. Copyright, 1920, by W. J. Bryan. SAN FRANCISCO. July I.—Yesterday was an interesting day for the spectators; in one respect nomination day takes the lead over all the others. There is more chance for speaking and the demonstrations are spectacular. The four big demonstrations were those that followed the presentation of the names of Palmer, Cox, Smith (New York) and MeAdoo. A demonstration when properly staged, ns most of the demonstrations for the leading candidates are, includes several features. The orator who presents the name reserves it for the lust. Sometimes they have been known to forget the name, whereupon the audience demands his name. More frequently, however, the "ails, “name him,” come earlier. In fact the speaker is very likely to be reminded of the eagerness of the audience if he is either prosy, or long, and he doesn't do ills candidate any good by continuing after he has received such an admonition from the nmllenee I have known the contest between the audience and the speaker to continue for some time, but 1 have never known the speaker to get the best] of the controversy.

Ills supporter* attempted the usual parade. Encouraged by a splendid band the procession was formed with a beautiful Ohio banner at the front. Th# Ohio deh-gu-io: followed with enthusiasm, but to the surpris * es the audience only three other states Joined in and it soon became apparent that the bulk of the marchers were drawn from th# uniformed club that came from Ohio. Groups had been planted around th* galleries and they made all the noise that they possibly coy Id, and the yeil leader mounted the philfortn and gave an exhibition of the athletic* which can be mingled with a college yell. There was no general participation either on the part of the delegates or the audience, and it transformed itself from demonstration t.o general confusion. The Smith demonstration was as surprising a* the Cox demonstration was disappointing. Botirke Cockran presented the name of the New York govrnor with ail the force st his command, and that is very considerable. arid the audience quite generally rose with New York and yelled n* if they seemed to mean it. Boon the standards of tin* state* began to fall In after New York and New Jersey -for New Jersey was scarcely less enthusiastic than the Empire state.

HUNTINGTON, L. 1., July I.—All attempts to get William Gibbs MeAdoo to comment this morning on the action of Rev. Dr. Burris Jenkhiß in placing ids name in nomination before the democratic national convention were fruitless. Reporters bore down on the MeAdoo country home in a flying wedge shortly after daybreak, but the former secretary of the treasury refused to see them. In response to written questions he sent out the following written reply: “Mr. MeAdoo hns nothing to sav, “if he lias anything he wishes to say later In the day it will be in the form of a statement given to the whole press simultaneously.” From servants, it was learned that Mr. MeAdoo was preparing for his usual busy day routine and that he would go to New' York on the 8 o’clock train, but he failed to appear at the railway station. Later In the morning Mr. MeAdoo motored to Cold spring Harbor and caught a train there for New York.

It was explained tbat Mr. Holmes was busy in another court. Douglas Is charged with permitting a former federal prisoner. John Hampton, Evansville, to accompany’ his wife to a local hotel and spend several hours with her there while he was under n commitment of the federal court for violating the Reed amendment. Holmes argues the evidence shows Dougins was never sworn in as a deputy sheriff and could not be held legally responsible by a state fourth for the admitted “cs"ape," because the prisoner at that time was under a commitment of the federal and not the state courts. Prosecuting Attorney Claris Adams contends thnt Douglas was functioning ns a deputy sheriff, although lie was not sworn iu as a deputy sheriff.

‘ Snowbirds’ in Federal Court Tell of Human Wrecks on Dope Shrine

Pathos and Humor Strike Their Way Through Sordid Expose of Drug Traffic at Terre Haute in Which Thousands in Profits Were Taken. By WALTER D. HICKMAN. "Snowbirds,” by their pitiful recital of j the use of morphine and other drugs, which led them into lives of confessed shame and immorality, opened prison and j jail doors for the ring leaders of a Terre j Haute narcotic ring.

OREGON AND UTAH COME IN ON MOVE AT FOURTH SESSION By HUGH BAILLIE. AUDITORIUM, SAN FRANCISCO, July I.—-Attracted by the possibility that balloting for a presidential nominee might begin today, convention crowds were larger than usual when Chairman Robinson called the session to order. There was an undercurrent of suppressed excitement. One big question was: “What will Bryan do?” He wa3 expected to appear on the floor and make one of the greatest addresses of his career an the proposed prohibition plank in the democratic platform. There was a possibility that when the nominating speeches have been concluded, which should be within on hour or two, a suspension of the rules would be moved so that the convention could proceed Immediately to balloting on the presidential nominee. Under the ruling the main order of business after the nominating speeches is the report of the platform committee, but if it is not ready, the rules can be suspended by a majority vote and the nominations be proceeded with. Convention officials were doubtful, however, that balloting for presidential nominees would start before tomorrow. Following a prayer by Bishop Nicholas, Episcopalian of San Francisco, Chairman Robinson ordered the continuation of the roll call of states for presidential nominations. The chair recognized Delegate A. T. Hammett of Gallup, N. M., who seconded the nomination of William G. MeAdoo. “I want to second the motiong drafting the nomination of William MeAdoo,” he said, and other MeAdoo demonstration threatened. When North Carolina was reached Newlands placed in nomination F. M. Simmons of that state. 1 , Mrs. Martha Nelson McClelan of South Carolina then seconded Simmons’ nomination. Oregon’s chairman, when that state was called, announced that his delegation would second the drafting of William G. MeAdoo. Rhode Island passed. South Carolina passed. Tennessee passed. / Texas passed. Utah seconded the nomination of MeAdoo. Credit MeAdoo With 630 Votes, Not Counting 4 Pivotal States i By ROBERT A. BUTLER. ■ Editor of The Times. I SAN FRANCISCO. July 1. —The third day of the democratic national convention told the world that democracy will stand on the record of Wood row Wilson and his administration; that William Gibbs MeAdoo is thl •hoiee of the democratic party for president; that the republican-born to prevent the nomination of the party’s strongest man by exploitation of the son-in-law bogey is a failure, the reaction on which is hourly strengthening sentiment for MeAdoo.

NO. 44.

i The preponderance of sentiment among the delegates In favor of straightforward Indorsement of Wilson and his teaching as exemplified In the opening session has forced a reluctant Tammany into line and the masterful harmony speech of Bourke Cockran was at once a splendid eulogy of Wilson and a notice to democracy that New York has awakened from the influences of the republican propaganda drugs and i3 ready to join bands with the west in a campaign to prove the loyalty of America to the civilization of the world. A WAKENED OTHERS TO REAL FACTS. In what Judge Dan Link of Auburn declared was the only spontaneous demonstration of the day, the delegates gave' voice to their real sentiments when' Burris Jenkins told the convention MeAdoo would not refuse to make the race.' ’ The demonstration awakened the managers of all candidates to the fact that there is an overwhelming sentiment in ’Frisco, and that sentiment is all for the former secretary of the treasury. Its echoes had hardly ceased before th#„ few “antis,” lead by the Hearst element, were planning to unite in opposition to McAdoo rather than to nominate another. Opponents of McAdoo claimed ability to hold 452 votes from him. They included In their lists ninety from New York, where McAdoo managers were assured of at least thirty-five with the breaking of the unit rule. They included thirty from Indiana, when twenty-one are known to be waiting for a chance to help McAdoo, > They Included all of Illinois’ fiftyeight. when that delegation is fighting in its own ranks to go in a body to McAdoo. They overlooked the Meredith of lowa, where twenty-six votes are awaiting McAdoo. In short. McAdoo managers last night conceded him 6.'il> votes without counting him auy from New Y'ork, Indiana, Illinois and lowa, from which states he is sure to get at least 101 votes when he needs them to make the total better than the necessary 728. WILSON CONNECTION PROVES AN ASSET. The opposition to McAdoo has counted on opposition to Wilson to defeat bis son-in-law. The opposition to Wilson has so far failed to get a hold on the delegates.*' That connection with Wilson is more of an asset than anything else in the auditorium. The only hope of the anti-McAdooo forces now lies in rallying the field about one man, and there is no one man big enough for the task. Every effort is being made to start a stampede for some other candidate, , but the delegates will not stampede. A Thomas It. Marshall has arranged t<H go to Snn Diego for a long stay the convention ends. Announcement of his plans was cepted by Indiana delegates as evlS dence that he sees no hope of “lightning* striking him.” Cox managers are working hard to get 1 Indiana’s vote on the second ballot and I may succeed ns It is regarded as good I politics to help Cox in a fight against 1 Palmer. -§H But all this preliminary jockeying is I merely intended to make it easier for McAdoo to obtain the required twothirds and there was not a man in the Indiana delegation who did not agree that eventually the entire thirty would be lined up with McAdoo, perhaps iu time to make the state's vote the vote that nominates him. COX AND TaLMER LOSE PRESTIGE OVER NIGHT By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. SAN FRANCISCO, July I.—A feeling of stampede and sto/'in hung heavy in the air today as the delegates filed iuta, convention hall, rooms for William (Continued oPu £ e Two.) - •*£,
