Elliott, Republican of Connersville, who is now serving his second term in congress, and Mr. William A. Yarling. Democrat, of Shelbyville, were in Richmond Wednesday. It was a case of "just happened so" that brought both congressional candidates to Richmond on the same day. Both were kept busy meeting party workers. Mr. Elliott has been a frequent visitor in Richmond in the past and is tl known locally. Mr. Yarling was making his first visit to Richmond Bince his nomination at the democratic primary election last May. Elliott Just Spends Day. "I have no particular business to transact ia Richmond," Representative Elliott said. "I just came here to 6pend the day and visit with friends. I haven't started to make my campaign yet and probably will not do so for a few weeks. The situation from a Republican standpoint appeals to be satisftctory throughout the district" Mr. Elliott returned to his home in Connersville two weeks ago following the adjournment of congress and will not return to Washington until the next session of congress in December, unless a special session is called earlier by the president, which is not anticipated. He is enjoying his rest, he says, after a continuous 13 months' session, which terminated June 5. Mr. Yarling, the Democratic congressional nominee, was accompanied on his trip to Richmond bv Sam Trabue, of Rushville, a well known Rush county Democratic politician. Mr. Yarling and Mr. Trabue spent Tuesday in Connersville and Liberty. Democrats Will Meet Tonight. They will attend a meeting of Democratic party workers in this city on Wednesday evening, to discuss campaign plans, and Thursday they expect to spend the day in Newcastle. They plan a complete "loop" of the district before Mr. Yarling returns to Shelbyville. Mr. Yarling met a large number of Democratic leaders while in Richmond and he made an excellent impression on them, it is said. Mr. Yarling at one time represented Shelby county in the state legislature. He is an attorney and is quite well known throughout the western part of the district. Sees Cox Nominee. Mr. Yarling will not be surprised, he says, if Governor James E. Cox of Ohio, is nominated by the Democratic national convention at San Francisco next week. Mr. Yarling does not believe Vice President Marshall Is seeking the presidential nomination, in which event he believes the Indiana delegation, including the Sixth district's two delegates, Mr. Pigman of Liberty, and Mr. Pappan of Shelbyville, will give its support to 'Cox. BOLD THIEF SMASHES VIGRAN STORE WINDOW With the aid of a brick a thief Bmashed the plate glass window in the front of the Sam Vigran store on Main street, Tuesday night, helped himself to four automatic revolvers and left the brick in their place. Just when the robbery took place is not known to the police. It was discovered by a man enroute to his work early Wednesday morning. He reported his discovery to the police. Chief of Police Wenger is of the opinion that the robbery was the work of a professional criminal in need of weapons for himself and his confederates. This theory is borne out by the fact that no other goods were molested. Mr. VIgran has no record of the numbers of the stolen revolvers, making It difficult for the police to secure any clew as to the perpetrator of the crime. The robbery was one of the boldest which has taken place in Richmond for some time. Soviet Russia Can Tell World Nothing Snowden (By Associated Press) LONDON.

(By Associated Press! PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. June 23. Pennsylvania and Reading officials today reported that men of those lines who joined the walkout are applying for permission to return. While the number is not large, the officials say they believe many more will return later. Strike leaders express confidence that many more men will join the strike within the next few days. Leaders are said to be working hard to break the strike and to forestall the branch here of the Chicago Yardmen's Association. Many strikers are reported to have joined the organization. At Pottsville two crews of trainmen are reported to have joined men at the Rutherford yards near Harrisburg. Employes of the same company went out last night. Officials say the defections have not materially interfered with freight, and that conditions gradually are approaching normal, although the movement of freight was still more or less seriously affected. Embargoes, except on perishables, foodstuffs and coal for public utilities, were still in effect on both roads and there was considerable congestion on the Reading.

STORM CLOUDS GATHER AROVE 'FRISCO HALL Dry Act Fight Will Be Carried to Floor is Prediction Big Chiefs Rolling in for Convention. '

DARK HORSES NEIGHING (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO. Calif.. June 23 Rumblings of Democratic discord over the prohibition issue became hourly more ominous today as delegates and party chiefs arrived in increasing numbers for the national convention. Hope that the gathering storm might spend itself behind the closed doors of the platform committee virtually was abandoned by the leaders and they pret pared to face an outbreak of tempestu"uui ui luc convention itself. Such a development it was agreed everywhere, would hold many dramatic possibilities, including a further complication of the uncertain outlook as to thf presidential nomination. Already the overshadowing issue in pre-convention conferences the question of a platform declaration against the present "bone dry" law almost took the whole stage for itself today as the gathering delegates heard of Postmaster General Burleson's announcement for a modification of the Volstead act. May Speak For White House By many accustomed to regard the postmaster general as a political ! TJZtZ ?.ou"' Mr, r nf which av th " istration influence would blow. uthers among the party leaders refused to take that view, but no one here assumed to know with certainty how far the sentiments of President Wilson might be in accord with those of Mr. Burleson. The latter who announced his stand yesterday at San Antonio, Tex., will not reach San Francisco until late in the week. What everyone here does know, however, is that both sides of the controversy are cementing their lines and bringing their heaviest artillery for a finish fight. After many conferences in an effort to lay a basis for harmony, Homer S. Cummings, the national chairman said today it seemed to be a "fair bet" that the question would be taken to the convention floor for a settlement regardless of what decision was made in the platform committee. Closely intertwined with the prohibition question is the problem of selecting a nominee in accord with the platform as finally agreed on and among many of the practical politicians there is a feeling that the two decisions must be settled virtually at one stroke. So the pleas ot candidates' managers are falling on deaf ears for the j present while the leaders get their bearings on the more immediate question of a bone dry or a beer platform. League of Nations in Eclipse. The league of nations disagreement, along with several other disputed plat form issues, has followed the question of candidates into temporary eclipse. Among most of the leaders it is agreed that whatever trouble develops over the treaty will be only a drop in the bucket compared to the prohibition fight. .4 Leaders of .the bone dry forces were ; comment toaav mat thev would command a good majority in the platform for a change in the present law. With this view most of the opposing managers privately agreed, but they declared that when an appeal was taken to the convention itself the vote would tell a much different story. the large states, it was pointed out. wnllP naving only one vot apiece in i lhe commiftee, will have a much great. 1 er volce ,n tlle who1 dy "f dele1 gates who make up the final court of appeals. And most of the largest dele gations are counted on for support by the advocates of a beer plank. Must Vote as Units. A complicating feature of a convention floor fight would be the unit rule under which many state delegations are Instructed to vote as a body. It was suggested today however, that there might be a general agreement to let each delegate be counted according to his own convictions when the prohibition issue came to its final show-down. On that basis both sides were predicting victory and many of those in a position to know were declaring the outcome would be close. Some of the oldest leaders declared, in fact, that the division might be close enough to make argument and oratory on the convention floor the deciding factor. In any case, such an open fight would be likely, it is predicted, to furnish many thrilling turns. William J. Bryan would be expected to head the bone drys, and he probably would find pitted against him strategists and orators of the first rank. W. Bourke Cochran, of New York, was mentioned as one of those who might be asked to match wits and eloquence with the Nebraskan in the convention debate. Will Fight Treaty Also Although Mr. Bryan is expected to make a fight also against the administration treaty plank the general belief of his friends here is that he will reserve his greatest effort for the prohibition problem. He is expected to reach San Francisco late in the week, though the treaty fireworks may start with the arrival late today of Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, who is credited with holding President Wilson's committee to write the administration league of nations plank. Senator Glass is the leading candidate for chairman of the platform (Continued on Page Eleven) '
