.WHITE-HOUSE HOLDS

REINS: PARTY LIKELY TO KICK OVER TRAGE SAN FRANCISCO. June :M. Two main facts regarding the probable course of the Democratic national convention here next week already stand out clearly. ' In its organization and its action on the platform the convention is ykely to prove the willing agency the administration at Washington. Should it unexpectedly attempt to pursue a divergent line of action on these points the administration will have a sufficient number of votes to check and control it. When it comes to the nomination of the candidates the convention may fol low its own bent, heedless of any dictation from the white house, if any should be attempted, because the twothirds rule will Rive to leaders who may find themselves not. in accord with the administration view regard ing candidates, a sufficient hold on the "convention to block any move to force a nomination The situation regarding candidates may change if the convention should become deadlocked in the balloting mi nominations and it' the two-thirds rule should then be abrogated. In that event the administration forces might be in a position to sway the convention's line of action. Abrogation of the two-thirds rule, as point ed out by Chairman Cummings of the national committee, can be accomplished through a simple, majority vote. Situation Threatens Deadlock. At the present time a deadlock does not appear out of the question, owing to the large number of candidates for the presidency and the improbability of any of the leading entrants receiving the requisite number of votes on any of the early ballots. A canvass of the roster of delegates has led opponents of the administiation to admit reluctantly that a majority of those who will sit in the convention will be likely to take their cue from spokesmen of President Wilson. No fewer than five members of the Wilson cabinet are on their way to the convention city. They are Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby, who before starting for San Francisco, had a conference with Ihe president; Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, himself a candidate for the presidential nomination; Postmaster General Burleson, Secretary of the Navy Daniels and Secretary of Agriculture Meredith. Willingness to fall in line with the wishes of the administration was reflected again and again in statements made today by leaders not generally regarded as wholly in accord with views expressed by President Wilson on questions that are bound to come before the convention. Colby Touted as Chairman. Thus, it was stated that there would be no opposition worth mentioning to the proposal said to emanate from the white house to make Bainbridge Colby permanent chairman of the convention. Mr. Colby, it is asserted, is the choice of President Wilson as the logical man for the place. In the action on the platform, too, the administration will have no need of bringing pressure to bear to obtain from the convention the fullest indorsement of President Wilson's policies, including his peace treaty and league of nations program. The Democratic party of necessity must make its campaign this year on the record of the eight years during which Wilson has been the occupant of the white house. BIG CHIEFS (Continued from Page One) hoped some one else would be given the permanent chairmanship. Physical preparations at the convention hall virtually were completed today with the perfection of a system of electrical megaphones to carry the voices of speakers out to the corners of the big enclosure. Installation of the paraphernalia started a report that President Wilson expected to address the delegates by long distance telephone, but Chairman Cummings said if there were any such intention he was not aware of it. One hitch in the arrangements remaining to be eliminated had to do with the seating of stale delegations which exceed in numtn-r the national committee's allotment In several slates, two or three limes the allotment of delegates were selected, with the intention that each should have a fraction of a vote. Convention officials said every effort would be made to arrange for seats for all such delegates, though some of them might have to sit in the visitors' section. NEW GREENVILLE MILL.

ISC SUFFERERS FROM HOG EXPERIENCES By WILLIAM H. SANBORN '1 he hog growers of Wayne county were out in force at the meeting held in the county court house Wednesday. Serious "men met to solve a serious problem. These representative farm-1 ers met to talk over the recent loss of hogs, supposedly "poisoned" through the feeding of a worm medicine and conditioner, recommended as a tonic beyond compare by the men who sold it to them in 500 pound lots. This preparation is put up by a Kansas City, Mo., firm, maker of a line of cattle, hog and sheep powders. Two men who have been selling this stuff called on a number of the losers Wednesday. They promised some of them that they would be at the Wednesday night meeting They were not. D. H. Kent Presided. E. F. Murphy, county agent, introduced O. II. Kent, of Ceuterville, as chairman. Mr. Kent asked that every man having used the "tonic" should relate his experience, regardless of what that experience had been. On a call for a show of hands from those who had sick hogs or dead hogs after using this mixture 19 hands were elevated. Five men who had lost no hogs from using it, next made a show of hands. Carl Pedro, of Centerville, stated that he had fed 40 perfectly well hogs about eight pounds of the stuff on one Friday evening. On Sunday morning most of them were sick and several were found dead around the feeding! trough. I neiuj nogan stated mat the man who took his order said that while there was "no known cholera cure, we guarantee this medicine to prevent cholera." When he began feeding this stuff his hogs at once got sick and acted as if they had rheumatism. Couldn't walk, and wouldn't eat. On taking it from them they recovered. He then made three trials, weeks apart, with same results, and on the third trial two died and most of his herd sickened. What Mr. Bogan said was duplicated, in effect, by a dozen others, some of which lost hogs galore. Two of the letters to Bogan from the Kansas City house were read. Mr. Bogan said that he had a letter stating that the stuff "was not sold under any guarantee whatsoever, either to prevent or cure disease." Williams Talks. "I borrowed 70 pounds of this stufl." taid Frank A. Williams, of Williamsburg, "mine not having come. Fed it for three days and had a dead hog every' morning. On the third day a lot of them went crazy." Mr. Williams has refused acceptance of his 500 pounds, which is now at Fountain City. Glen Brumfield said he lost

In Use Since Civil War. The majority of the grade schools in the city have been in use for 35 years; others for a longer time. No comprehensive building and improvement for the schools was formulated until about 1914. when Charles W. Jordan, then a board member, advocated such a program. The board was about to adopt it when Mr. Jordan resigned from the board. The new board then decided to abandon the plan, as the European war had just started and it was feared that this would result in too high costs. However, building costs at that time were considerably under present tremendous costs. Mr. Handley is of the opinion that if the building program proposed in 1914 by Mr. Jordan, who is again a member of the board, had been carried out, it would have meant a saving of at least a half million dollars to the city. Every Building is in Need. Practically every building in the city is in need of repairs and enlargements The Garfield building has been condemned by the state fire marshal and the high school does not comply with the present state law, for it is four stories In height, whereas schools of more than two stories are not. permitted to be built now rnu virr.i 'hoard faces a really dis couraging situation, but has determ ned to embark upon the belated building program, for members believe that further neglect of it would result in a demoralization of the city s school system. Expenditures will be held to a minimum, but the proposed new schools will be substantial and modern and no effort will be made to skimp in their construction. A bond issue of about $550,000 is contemplated. It is expected that about $400,000 of this amount will be required for the construction of the new West Richmond junior high school. The remaining $150,000 will probably be used for the construction of the academic building of the newSouth Twenty-third street junior high school.

Present Revenue Barely Enough. The situation which confronts the municipal government is the fact that the city's present revenue barely covers its operating expenses, and next year these expenses will be increased in several items, principally for additional pay for the fire department, under the two platoon system, amounting to about $18,000 additional, and by the- impending increase of approximately $6,000 for street lighting under

the proposed new rates for the municipal plant. The taxable valuation for the city of Richmond as established in 1919. was $35,240,000, against $17,826,616. which obtained in 1918. The city's tax rate is now 67 cents. In 1918 it was $1.21. but with the doubled valuation and the lowered tax rate the city will receive this year only $20,406 more revenue than it received last year. Last Monday the city council was abliged to authorize a temporary loan of $40,000 to meet general city expenses. It is expected, however, that this loan can be paid off next October,
