M’ADOO'S LETTER OF WITHDRAWAL IS HISSED-CHEERED Leader During Most of Struggle for Nomination Drops Out of Race, By PAUL R. MALLON. United Press Staff Correspondent MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York, July 9. —With a dramatic flourish, William Gibbs McAdoo early today released delegates who had fought for him through ninety-nine ballots, and thereby threw the Democratic convention wide open. Shortly after 2 a. m. his manager. David Ladd Rockwell, hurried from a hotel across the street where McAdoo stayed during the balloting and brought word to the weary delegates that the candidate who had led the fleld through most of the convention was through. In the final conference, just before the announcement was made, were Mrs. Eleanor Wilson McAdoo. daughter of Woodrow Wilson; William J. Bryan, his friend; Edwin T. Meredith, to whom McAdoo tacitly swung his strength, and a group of McAdoo flood leaders and advisers. The decision to withdraw came just twenty-four hours before the announcement was made. After the recess Tuesday the Californian met Governor Smith with the object of attempting an agreement for solving the deadlock at the Ritz-Carlton in the suite of Hugh Wallace, former ambassador to France. It was reported at one time to have become somewhat lively when Governor Smith charged McAdoo with attempting to wreck the party. Neither of the principals would discuss the meeting beyond admitting- it occurred. It was learned on the best authority. however, that Governor Smith took the initiative in the conversation by advocating something drastic to end the deadlock. He challenged McAdoo to get out of the race simultaneously with him. After Smith had concluded McAdoo declared he thought when the leaders withdrew' a compromise candidate should be suggested and pronosed the name of Senator Ralston. Smith replied he was advised Ralston had withdrawn. Besides, he did not think the New' York delegates would want Ralston, and a similar Boils THERE is a reason for everything that happens.

attitude prevailed generally among the Smith delegates. After rumors had been current for hours that McAdoo was preparing a letter for the convention, Chairman Walsh finally announced he had an important communication from McAdoo and the following was read: “Dear Senator Walsh: “I am profoundly grateful to the splendid men and women who have with such extraordinary loyalty supported me in this unprecedented struggle for such a great cause. The convention has been in session two weeks and appears to be unable to make nominations under the twothirds rule. This is an unfortunate situation imperilling party success. “I feel that if I should withdraw my name from the convention I should betray the trust and confidence given to me by people in maijj; States which have sent delegates here to support me, and yet I am unwilling to contribute to the continuation of the deadlock. Therefore I have determined to leave my, supporter and friends free to take j such action as in their judgment! may best serve the interests of the party. “I have made this fight for the principles and ideals of progressive Democracy, for righteousness and for defeat of the reactionary and wet elements In the party which tried to dominate us. (There were hisses, followed by scattering applause at this point.) “For these principles and ideals I shall continue tc fight. I hope that this convention will never yield to reaction and privilege, and that the Democratic party will always hold aloft the torch which was carried to such noble heights by Woodrow Wilson. (Signed) "W. G. M’ADOO.” Complete stillness greeted the reading of the letter and when it was concluded there were only a few handclaps. The McAdoo followers looked upon the letter as a “sportsmanlike'' move tc end the deadlock which had for a time threatened to disrupt the party. Smith men feared it as an unfinished gesture which was designed ultimately to gain the nomination. CITY’S DREAM REALIZED Logansport Declares Holiday for New City Hall. By United Press LOGANSPORT.

RICHARD MANNING R'i '• t.l Her ice )LORA DO SPRINGS, Colo., f _ July 9.—One little slip would have meant instant death on the rocks below. And Richard Manning of Ponca City, Okia., marooned in a narrow cleft up in the “gateway rocks” of the Garden of the Gods, knew it. For hours he clung for dear life to his perilous perch, as rescue 'parties searched for him. Hf had climbed the cliff from the other side. Somehow or other, he lost his footing and plunged down thirty feet of slippery rock into a deep fissure. Irving Gibson, a companion, went for help. Meanwhile Manning attempted to make his way down the other side. But he got trapped in the "Eagles’ Nest.” Firemen answered Gibson's calls for aid. One of them, Charles Van Nat tan, -. coil of rope fastened around his belt, ciimbed practically all over the great mountain of stone until he found the marooned man. Van Nattan signaled his companions below. They lashed two of their longest ladders together and Manning painfully made his way down. New employes of the London underground railway are shown a film entitled “Courtesy Always Pays."

Smile of Love Bu Times Special WASHINGTON. July, 9 Calvin Coolidge Jr. died with a smile on Iris sac wistful smile, forced through the grimace of pain, as a farewell to his mother and father just as death came. The President and his. wife were sitting close to the boy as he died. Mr. Coolidge had been holding his youngster’s hand. Calvin had been unconscious for hours. But, just before he died, he opened his eyes. His mind for a moment was exceptionally keen —as is always the case in such instances. He looked at his mother and father as if trying to speak, but no words came. A moment later, and then a quiet, little boyish smile —of confidence and love. That was all. The indomitable courage that made the smile possible was all that had kept the boy alive for the last twenty-foifr hours.
