THE CONCORD TIMES
GOV. SMITH GETS OVATION
■ fjpi
Madison - liquate Garden, June 26.^-
Having given a renewed hut brief demon
stration for Wm. G._McAdoo, the demo
cratic national convention today plunged
into a rip-roaring demonstration for Al
fred E. Smith that was going on unabat
ed more than an hour after it started.
I.ike the principal McAdoo demonstration
of yesterday. the Smith demonstration
was aided and pushed along by a com
plete organization of demonstrators, hun
dreds of whom marched into the hall
from the outside, bearing banners and
nwixe making devices.
Galleries and guest sections obviously
filled with friends of the New York Gov
ernor for today’s event, let out a con
tinuous series of yells, howls and whistles.
No sooner had Franklin D. Roosevelt fin
ished his speech placing the New York
Governor in nomination than the racket
broke loose. Bands, rooters armed with
megaphones, cheer leaders, singers and
others with all the equipment of profes
sional demonstrators, burst out into the
jammed aisles and began a procession
about the hall. From points of observa
tion on the speaker’s stand it appeared
that probably half the delegate space was
taking part in the demonstration, either
by contributing to the marching parties
which bore various state standards, or
by standing on chairs and waving flags
and joining the cheering.
The other section of delegate space,
apparently interested in looking at the
show, stood u]>, but gave no evidence of
joining. Iu the machinery of the dem
onstration about every device seen here
tofore and some new ones appeared.
Children as young as three and four
years were used.
Some of them were dressed as ragamuf
fins. others as newsies, and all of them
lmd automobile license plates hung around
their necks bearing 'the words “All
Smith.”
Fathers who presumably had rented
the children out for the occasion, tried
to balance some of them on the high
rail about the speaker’s stand, fifteen feet
above the floor, with the result that the
youngsters were scared to death and bel
lowed lustily. After some experiments,
the children were removed. Although
state standards were carried in the pro
cession, the delegate spaces remained well
filled while it was going on. The galler
ies, 'the professional demonstrators, and
the rooters who had been packed into the
galleries up under the roofs, and into
every nook and cranny on the floor, made
the bulk of the noise, and at times ac
REPUBLICANS PLAN
ATTACK ON SOUTH
Will Center Attaek Here in Effort to
Eleet Congressmen in South.
Washington, June 26. —Republicans
will direct an attack on the democratic
solid South in the approaching Congres
sional campaign, Representative \\ ood. of
Indiana, chairman of the republican con
gressional campaign committee, to
day after a conference at the White
House.
The campaign in the South will be
centered, he said, on Texas, Alabama,
Tennessee and North Carolina.
The Irish city of Belfast claims to
possess the five biggest things of their
kind in the world. These are the big
gewt shipyard, the biggest linen factory,
the largest tobacco factory, the longest,
rope walk, and the Whiskey store with
the most storage room.
tually drowned out the band.
Frmn -her box iu tfc# rear of the
delegates section. Mix. McAdoo watched
the demonstration chatting with a group
of men and women from her husband’s
campaign headquarters.
As file demonstration passed the three
quarter hour mark, the din seemed to
increase rather than decrease.
Mr. Roosevelt remained at the speak
ers’ stand, supporting himself with his
arnn-i, and waving to the passing march
ers during most of tlie parade. Then
two men helped him to a seat. While
the show went on, he refreshed himself
with a light lunch broght from the res
taurant back-stage.
When the demonstration had reached
an hour's duration it was going as
strong as ever.
Through the center aisle an enormous
bouquet of flowers, carried above the
head* of the demonstrators, was sent to
the platform to Mr. Smith who was in
a box with Mrs. lioosevelt at the rear
of the hall near that occupied by Mrs.
McAdoo.
At the hour and a quarter mark Mr.
Roosevelt waved to his lieutenants on
the floor to quiet the demonstration.
Senator Walsh began hammering with
the gavel and Mr. Roosevelt was lifted
up beside him. Supported on his
crutches, he raised a hand for silence,
and slowly the great hall began to quiet
down.
Anna Case was brought to the front
of the platform and brought the crowd at
last to complete order by singing the
Star Spangled Banner. After some
difficulty order was restored, and Chair
man Walsh directed the secretary to con
tinue with the call of the roll. Dele
ware was next in line and Senator Bay
ard took the speakers’ stand to nomi
nate Willard Saulsbury, former Dela
ware Senator.
Florida was next on the list, but it
yielded to Missouri, and C'lias. M. Hay
rose to second the nomination of McAdoo.
David F. Houston then was nominated
by Lewis C. Stevenson, of Illinois, a son
of Adlai Stevenson, former vice presi
dent.
Mr. Stevenson's nomination of former
Secretary Houston was greeted with scat
tered’ hand clapping, but there was no
demonstration.
Then Chairman Walsh recognized M.
L. Igoe. of Illinois, who seconded the
nomination of Governor Smith.
Frederick VauNuys, former district at
torney for Indiana, then, was recognized
and nominated Senator Ralston.
Grocers Must Sell by Pound.
Trenton, N. J., June 26.—Beginning
next week all commodities of retail groc
ers and other foodstuff dispensers in New
Jersey will be sold by weight. This is
in compliance with an act passed by the
last legislature, and will end the prac
tice of buying and selling with the dry
measure, which in the past has been the
means of much fraudulent manipulation.
The exceptions will be fruits and veg
etables sold in the original standard con
tainer, these which by common custom
in the past have been sold by the bunch,
such as beets and radishes, fresh henries,
and other small fruits usally sold by
box, basket or other receptacle.
With a view to arriving at some solu
tion of the unemployment problem in

New York. June. 26 was a re
newal of covering by July shorts in the

showed net gains of 84 points on July and
12 to 16 points on later deliveries. Op

Yokohama Officials Apologize for Un

Yokohama. June 25.—American pas

rather discourteous customs examina

change in methods and intervened and
apologized.

disagreeable innovation was a woman.
The President Madison, out of Seattle,
docked as usual, but when foreign pas
sengers stepped onto the pier Japanese
custom officials stopped them, asking;
‘‘Are you Americans?”
When the answer wax affirmative, the
passengers were forced to undergo a
most rigorous search, including removal
of their shoes, leaving them standing on
a wet floor.
The unprecedented examination lasted
an hour, when higher customs officials
suddenly intervened and restored the
normally courteous methods of examina
tion, with apologies to the Americans
who had -been’’ detained. A complaint
has been lodged wffft the T’niteff States
consulate here, it was learned, and an
official investigation started.

Clanton li. Means, forme rspecial agent
of the Department of Justice, and Elmer
\V. Jarneckie. charged with violations of
the prohibition law.
Hiram C. Todd, special deputy attorney
general, asked Judge Wolverton to re
strict the Secretary’s testimony to top
ics pertaining to subjects of the indict
ment. The court upheld objections to
questions put by Means' attorney as to
the ;il removal from the Overholt
Distill'** in Pittsburgh of a large quan

IRELAND TRIES TO REGAIN
ITS EXPORT EGG TRADE
Dining 1921 Eggs Chickens and Feathers
Worth $50,000,000 Were Exported.
(By tire Associated Press.)
Dublin. June 2<i. —Patrick Hogan, the
free State Minister of Lands and Agri
culture. has introduced into the Dial a
bill to regulate the export of eggs. Eggs
are one of the most important of Irish
exports, and the industry has recently
shown signs of deterioration. In 1021
Ireland exported $50,000,000 worth of
eggs, poultry and feathers, the value of
the export being second only to that of
cattle.
For the year ended March ‘>o, 1024, the
Free. State export of eggs was only about
$17,000,000. Part of the diminutiton is
attributed to a fall in prices and the ex
pansion of opportunity for continental
competitors since the wyar. BefiTre the
per cent greater than the Danish. Nirrr
it is less.
Under Mr. Hogan's bill all eggs for
export must be collected in premises reg
istered by the ministhry of agriculture,
tested anid graded under official supervis
ion and packed in standard boxes. It is
hoped by abolishing defective packing
and grading to double the Irish egg ex
port.
NO OFFICIAL PART FOR V. S.
IN REPARATIONS CONFERENCE
Will Be Represented Only Informally
in London Next Month, Coolidge
Spokesman Says.
Washington. D. C.. June 25.—The
United States is not only willing but
anxious to a>sist Europe in pushing the
settlement of her reparations problem,
but does not intend to participate in any
political difficulties overseas, a spokes
man for President Coolidge said today
in eommeniug on the proposed inter-al
lied Wnference in London next month
to consider means of putting the Dawes
plan into effect.
President Coolidge was said to feel
that it must be recognized America lias
certain interests in Europe, both direct
and indirect, but that these would not
be served by active participation in the
conference. This government will be
represented informally, it was expected,
but no possibility was seen that either
Charles G. Dawes or Secretary Hughes,
who plan to be in London with the
American Bar Association about the
time of the conference, would take part
as American delegates.
No invitation has yet come to the
American government to join the con
ference, it was declared.
Claims Formula Renders Battle Gases
Harmless,
New York. June 25. —F. N. Pickett,
•of London, tlie man who bought up and
destroyed surplus war materials on a
great tract of land near Boulogne,
France, arrived on. the steamship Majes
tic today with the formula of a gas
which lie claims would counteract the
deadly effects of war gases.
lie said lie would go directly to Wash
ington to present the formula to the
government, 'already having given it to
the British and French. "He said he also
intended giving it to several govern
ments. including Germany. The for
mula. he said, grew out of much experi
menting by him with the destructive war
■gases which the new gas is said to make
ineffective.
Mr. Pickett said he also brought an
arsenie formula which he believes will
successfully combat the boll weevil, add
ing that he would go to Alabama follow
ing his Washington business and make
tests in conjunction with officials of the
department of agriculture.
