ALASKAN UMBER VALUABLE ASSET Resources of Importance to Paper Industry. By Times Special WASHINGTON, July 10.—Cor ering the mainland and Islands of the Alaskan coast along the semicircular strip stretching from the southernmost point of the territory to the Eastern end of Kodiak Island are coniferous forests, mainly of Sitka spruce and Western hemlock, shot here and there with red and yellow cedar and various growths. Despite the differences in quality and the comparative Inaccessibility of its forest areas, Alaska has a resource of high value in its standing timber, says the Forestry Almanac published by the American Tree Association. It will be able to meet virtually all of its demands in the course of development. In addition it has a great asset in timber for pulpwood and paper manufacture, and it is estimated that the Alaskan forests could supply enough pulpwood. to make one-third of all the paper products used annually in the United States. In the coastral stands are concentrated about one-fifth of the timber stand of Alaska, while the inland territory embraces the remainder. In quality, however,' and commercial possibilities, the coast timber lands have the greatest importance. Practically all of this latter area is included in' the 20,571,549 acres of the Tongass and Chugach National Forests.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CHAMBER MAY FILE PHONE SUIT (Continuetl From Fag© 1) suit against the rates in State courts. A suit of this character will be heard before Judge Linn D. Hay in Superior Court, room 2, Saturday at 9 a. m. unless Judge Page enjoins tl|e action. \y A meeting of the sub-cdfnmittee of the public service committee of the Chamber of Commerce met with the directors at noon today and reported results of their conference with the public service commission. The committee is composed of Henry L. Dlthmer, president of the chamber; O. D. Haskett and John B. Reynolds, general secretary. Cooperation Is Assured The sub-committee assured the public service of full cooperation in the rate case and ottered to gather data for the commission’g_ use. It was believed the board of directors would ratify the action of the committee. Criticism of subscribers that they were being charged for calls where the operator connected them with the wrong number are unjustified telephone officials said tdday. They explained that when there is a mistake in the call, the operator makes out a credit slip which is turned into the auditing department and the subscriber receives credit. A protest meeting will be held by the Garfield Hustlers Monday at 8 p. m. at the Southern Avenue Baptist Church. E. H. Lyle will speak. Carl B. Combs, president, will preside. Circulars announcing the meeting are being distributed throughout the commtyiity. Newspapers Commended The following resolutions commending Indianapolis newspapers for their stand in the telephone rate case fight were adopted at the last meeting of the organization: "Be is resolved, That we as citizens of the commonwealth, the City of Indianapolis, do look with disfavor upon and condemn the efforts of various public utilities at this time of financial depression to unduly and unjustly Increase telephone rates. “Be It further resolved: That we commend and support the editors of the daily newspapers who have boldly and fearlessly championed the cause of the public.” Governor Emmett F. Branch is considering possibility of employing special counsel to fight out the telephone rate case. It is pointed out, however, counsel paid for out of public service commission funds could scarcely be assigned to aid the attorney general. On the other hand, the Governor’s emergency and con tingent fund is low and payment for counsel from the fund is said to be undesirable. Support Is Promised The State Chamber of Commerce, through its board of directors, went on record Wednesday as supporting the public service commission and State officials in their fight. J. E. Frederick of Kokomo, president of the chamber; A. M. Glossbrenner of Indianapolis, and G. H. Mosser, managing director, were appointed a committee to draft resolutions supporting the State. A tthe same time a committee composed of Ernest G. Scotten of Newcastle, J. A. Van Osdol of Kokomo and Frederick was named to gather data regarding rates in other Indiana cities and to make this data available to the public,service commi. ,ion.

SHE value of speed to a ball team is slowly co&ing back to its own in the major leagues. For a great many years, speed has been more or less of a negative quantity. Hitting luis dominated the game. Like all fit her styles, those of baseball constantly change. The style of play seems to run In cycles. Blrst we have the pitchers, su then comes an era of slugging. followed by a revival of baserunning. • • • ir-rs | HAT has been the situation in I | baseball covering the period L.. I the last years. Going back that far we find that pitching was the dominating factor of the sport. Then came a curbing of the pitch er and the rise of the slugger. The home run became all popular. Every batter took a healthy swing. Now we have a sort of a fifty-fifty proposition between the pitcher and the batter, which tends to make for more baserunning. Speed once more becomes a mcef valuable asset. • • Ty Cobb once told me that he regarded his speed as his one best Oet, during the days when he was constantly thrilling the baseball world by his daring on the bases. < • * • iy j HEN one thinks of Cobb’s greatness as a player, his re- ——— markable batting ability f-tands cut as the thing that made l.’m the talk of the baseball wmrJd. Yet Cobb says his great speed did more to make him a diamond celebrity than any other one thing. Cotb explains thusly: ’’Nothing worries a player more than to know r that he must handle a ball perfectly in order to get his man. That means he must field a gorund hit cleanly and follow it up with an accurate throw. "My speed, and the mental at ♦itude of the opposition, helped mo reach first hundreds of times, when I should have been retired.” * * * Speed Isn’t the asset to a win ner that it was fifteen years ago. but its value during the past five years has Increased over 100 pr cent.

(Continued From Page 1) in obrei-vance of the death of Calvin Coolidge, Jr., who is being buried today. After a short time he will go to his home in West Virginia for opening of the campaign. Charles W. Bryan, Governor of Nebraska, was selected as Davis’ i uniting mate at the final session of tiie Democratic convention last nigh; on the first ballot, after two had refused to accept the place on the ticket. Senator Walsh of Montana. Davis' first choice, formally refused the offer, stating he could best serve his party in the Senate. Edwirt T. Meredith of lowa refused to run with Daxis on the ground that Davis was too conservative to appeal to the agricultural West. Recess Taken Davis was unwilling to accept any of the nine candidates nominated formally. A recess of one hour was called at midnight, while Davis went into conference with leaders at the historic Democratic rendezvous, the Manhattan Club, across the street from Madison Square Garden. \VU3n Bryan was finally hit upon, Chairman Cordell Hull, Tom Taggart, Senator Pat Harrison and other leaders, bare-headed, rushed back to tiie Garden to get Bryan's acceptance. He met them at the door and speedily pave his consent. It was necessary to place him in nomination and Harry Fleharty was rounded up to name him. Bryan himself told his sponsor to make the speech "short and snappy." Fleharty complied and the balloting began. Chairman Walsh had turned the gavel over to Representative Barkley of Kentucky, who had great dis veulty in controlling the crowd after the balloting got under way. Bryan got away slowly until word was passed he was Davis’ choice. After casting haif of the Illinois vote for Mayor Hylan of New York as a compliment. George E. Brennan of Illinois led the switching, which ended in Bryan amassing a total of 739 votes, more than tha necessary two-thirds. Berry Gets 204 George L. Berry of Tennessee, soldier-labor candidate, finished with 204 when the switching ended. But the soldier-labor crowd, aided by a rowdy bunch the police finally ejected from the hall,*-kept up a constant cry for Berry. Although Col. Alvin Owsley, former commander of the American was withdrawn by Texas, he finished with sixteen votes. Bennett Clark, sob of the late Champ Clark of Missouri, had a total of 41 votes, and Mrs. Leroy Springs of South Carolina, 18. Others who stuck to the end were Governor Oiynn, Rhode Island. 15; Governor Silser, New Jersey, 8; former Ambassador Gerard, 10; Mayor Hylan, 6; Newton D. Baker, 7; Senator Pittman, Nevada, 6; Jonathan M. Davis. Kansas. 5. The total vote w r as announced in silence. Governor Bryan’s vote was greeted by an outburst of applause, followed by booes, hisses and catcalls. The crowd made a rush for the doors before the full list of names could be read or the motion to adjourn the convention put. Barley announced that Permanent Chairman Walsh was to make the formal notification speech to Davis and Temporary Chairman Harrison w r ould notify Bryan. The band struck up "Home. Sweet Home” and the crowd trickled out into the qjght. The convention was ended. GIRL SWALLOWS POISON Held Indention Ward at the City Hospital ' Miss Ethel Thompson, 19, rooming at 2602 E.

WALLSTREETNOW HAS 2 CANDIDATES IF! BIG EVENT Selection of Davis as Leader Pleases Money Interests, By LOWELL MELLETT Times Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 10. —Wall Street put Its second candidate In the field ! against Robert G. La Follette yes-1 terday afternoon, and Is now pre-1 pared to rest easy until the late summer or early fall. By that time events will have shown on which of Its candidates, John W. Davis or Calvin Coolidge, Wall Street must devote Its energy —and its money. The long forecasted nomination of Davis was a matter of simple routine for the convention managers, once William G. McAdoo’s remarkable defenses had been broken. With Me- j Adoo out, the mass of his delegates | wore easily maneuvered. Led to believe they had Underwood to beat, they swarmed out on the Davis limb. Once enough of them were aboard the limb, the Underwood delegates promptly climbed out also and broke off the limb. For a time the spectator witnessed a dumb show—dumb in more ways than one—of delegates battling over Davis and Underwood, two candidates as alike as peas and placed in the running by the same hidden Interests. Brief Th® spectacle was brief—just three ballots. It would have been prolonged, hut the managers as well as the delegates were dog tired and Irritable. They wasted very little time on finesse. Had the sun come out earlier —had ther<* been no McAdoo to beat down over a Course of eight exhausting days—the thing doubtless would have been done less openly. The struggle between Underwood and Davis might have been made more convincing Thus ends one chapter of political comedy enacted for the benefit of the great American voter. John W. Davis, attorney for the banking house of Morgan; former president of the American Bar Association, former ahhassador to Great Britain, former solicitor general of the United States, a man admired and respected by most all who know him. with a reputnMon for honesty and ability, and wd s h the manner and appearance to grace the White House, is submitted to the suffrage of Ameri can people by the non-partisan interests of American finance. Since 1920 Davis ha* been in their minds. He suits without deliberately lending himself to their purposes, his conservative instincts serve their purpose. Favorite Son So little known to the people of his own State that he could r.ot have held it against W. G. McAdoo last fall, had the latter elected to make a fight for It, he came into the convention as a "favorite son” with only West Virginia’s votes behind him—so far as the average delegate could see. But he had what was more important. He had the purpose of the old-line managers who

There has not been a time from the beginning when the, controlling force in the TllinolsMelegation, New York delegation and the Ohio delegation has not had Davis In its mind. It would have been true also j of the Indiana delegation, save that Tom Taggart has his very human | side and very close to that side of him lay one Samuel M. Ralston. However, Davis suits Taggart. Only McAdoo stood in the way. All other potentialities could be discounted. McAdoo. as shrewd or shrewder than any of them, fanatically obsessed tvith the need of his own i nomination and able to endow a remarkably large following with that same fanaticism, gave the managers a week-long scare. So scared were they that men like George Brennan, who wears his religion lightly, were willing to split the party and wreck any chance of their man, rather than the Republican party's man being put ove,r and deliberately injected the religious issue into the situation. Party Is Split They stopped McAdoo finally by so doing, but they did split the party. Os courk. William Jennings Bryan will go along. He announces he will support the ticket. So also will others of his kind —with the service of their lips, but with little more. While some think Coolidge is in stronger position than any Democratic candidate could be done, since the Klan issue was raised, others have their eyes fixed on that solid block of electroal votes from the South and are mindful of the damage that La Follette can do the Republican hopes west of the Mississippi. La Follette won’t know which of the two he is really running against i probably until late September or early October. Munc-ie Man Purdue Trustee J. L- Kimbrough.
