NOT SHOW ANYTHING Leaders Stated After Ballot Was Cast That It Was Just What Had Been Expected From the Start. SECOND - BALLOT LITTLE CHANGED On That Ballot Smith Gained Little and McAdoo ost Half a Vote.—Casting Votes Without Any Delay. (By the Aiwwlutwl Pnn) Madison Square Garden, .Tune 30. —The Democratic National Convention went into a deadlock of serious proportions to day when it assembled to ballot for a nominee for theh Presidency. With the animosities of Saturday night’s fight over the Ku Klug Klnn plank still rankling in the breasts of mtny of the delegates, the battle for the nomination promised to add another ani mated and colorful chapter to political history. Among leaders, a Sunday 'of reflection had softened somewhat the bit terness engendered by the Klnn fight, and they seemed certain that the delegates, too, would let it pass out of their minds as they become absorbed in the balloting for the Presidency. The convention was called to order at 10:20 this morning, and Chairman Walsh announced that the next order of busi ness was the colling of the roll for bal loting for the Presidency, but before the roll call was ordered, Lawrence Quigley, mayor of Chelsea, Mass., who led the last • desperate stand for the anti-Klan plank at Saturday night's session, got the floor and asked the .chair what the ruling would be if it were shown that a delegate cast a vote on that roll call un - - : d*r- Intimidation, and now desired to change it. Chairman Walsh stated that he did not know that unything could be done. The balloting then began and at the end of the third ballot there was no nomi nation. The count for the third ballot was: Un derwood 42: McAdoo 437; Itobiuson 41; John W. Davis 34; Smith 255 1-2; Brown 12 1-2; Snulsbury 6; Cos 60; Bryan It); Ritchie 22 1-2; Harrison 23 1-2; Glass 20; Walsh 1; Ralston 30; Jonathan Davis 20; Ferris 30; Silzer 20; Thompson 1; and Kendrick 6; To tal 1008. Resuß of First Ballot Madison Square Garden, New York, June 30.—The Democratic national con vention began balloting at 10:41 a. m. today for a nominee for the Presidency. 'The official total of the first ballot as announced from the platform was: Underwood 42 1-2; Robinson 21; Mo> Adoo 431 1-2; Sweet 12; Brown 17; Smith 240 1-2; Saulsbury 7; Silzer 3; John W. Davis, 31; Richey 22 1-2; Har rison 43 1-2; Cox 50; Charles W. Bryan 18; Ralston 30; Jonathan Davis 20; Ferris 30; Glass 25; Thompson 1; Kendrick 0. Total votes 1,050. Utile Change in Second Ballot. Madison Square Garden, June 30.—The second ballot in the Democratic National Convention today showed little change from the first. All of the native son dark horses stood solid throughout. The only change of note was that Louisiana switched her twenty votes from Senator Harrison, of Mississippi to Senator Rob inson, of Arkansas. The relative positions of Smith and Mc- Adoo were unchanged in the second bal lot. The unofficial totals of the two leaders on the second ballot were 431 for Mc- Adoo, a loss of one-half vote; and 251 1-2 for Smith, a gain of 11 votes for the New York Governor. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Smith's man ager, made this comment on the ballot ing; “Tlie result is no surprise. The Smith and McAdoo totals were within five votes of what 'were estimated. The fight is running true to predictions.” Second ballot—The totals for the sec ond ballot were as follows: Underwood 43; McAdoo 431; Robinson 41; Sweet 12; Smith 251 1-2; Brown 12 1-2; Sauls bury 0; Cox 61; Silzer 30 ; Bryan 18; John W. Davis 32; Ritchie 21 l-2;Har rison 28 1-2; Jonathan Davis 23; Walsh 1; Glass 25; Thompson 1 1 Kendrick 6; Ralston 30; Ferris 30. Total 1008. Can Tell Nothing So Far. Madison Square Garden, June 30. The fifth ballot brought no decision in the Democratic National Convention to day, in fact, it brought no changes in dicative of any result. The Smith ami McAdoo forces were holding fast and making slow gains, pickiug up scattered votes here ami there, and the field of favorite sons can didates was still jogging along, waiting for somebody to be eliminated. The balloting was probably a little slower in shaking down the situation than some of the delegates expected. Many of them had thought five ballots would bring some indication of Which way things were going to break. The favorite sons stuck fast as the sixth ballot was started. There seemed to be little prospect of shaking them off, and it was obvious that the 6th, like The Concord Daily Tribune I i B| ■ \ is !!jr o * mrlM First photograph of Senator Walsh of Montana as he took charge of the Dem ocratic Convention as permanent chair man. ************ * * * TAKES 732 VOTES TO NOMI- * * NATE. * * * * There are 1068 votes in the Nat- * * ionnl Democratic Convention.

Five Ballots and Little Change. Madison Square Garden, New York. June 30.—The position of the leaders on the fourth ballot were: McAdoo 443.6; Smith 260. McAdoo had gained 6.6 votes and Smith had gained 4 1-2. The fourth ballot figures follow: Un derwood 41 1-2; McAdoo 443.6; Robin son 10; Smith 260; John W. Davis 43; Senator Saulsbury 6; Cox 50; Bryan 10; Walsh 1; Ritchie 21 1-2: .Toauthan Davis 211; Ralston 30; Glass 25; Brown 0.0; Harrison 20 1-2; Ferris 30; Silzer I 28; Thompson 1. Total 1008. It was understood from conferences among lenders that at least three more ballots would be taken before the con vention recessed to eat. The result of the fifth ballot follows: Underwood 41 1-2;. McAdoo 443.1; Robinson 10; Smith 261; John W. Davis 34 1-2; Bryan 10; Cox 50; Ritchie '42.0; Jonathan Davis 28; Ral ston 30; Brown 8 1-2 ; Harrison 20 1-2; Glass 25; Saulsbury 6; Walsh 1; Fer ris 30; Silzer 28; Thompson 1. Total 1008. After the fifth ballot Mr. Rockwell, managing the fight for McAdoo said “Everything is going all right.” He did not expect any breaks along the line on the next ballot. After the announcement of the first ballot today. William Jennings Bryan got the unanimous consent to present a resolution in memory of the late Presi dent Harding. He moved its adoption and it was done with a rising vote. There was a. brush between the two Missouri delegates when the state’s vote was challenged, at the end cf the first ballot, but the 36 votes stayed solid for ! McAdoo under the unitl rule, dspite the charges from challengers that the ma jority there did not express the will of the people of the state, and that money had been brought into the McAdoo cam paign. lowa’s ballot was cast by E. T. Mer edith-, former secretary of Agriculture. Louisiana gave her vote on the first ballot to Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, as a compliment to the tem porary chairman. During the balloting, Mrs. McAdoo sat in a box, busy with paper and pencil, keeping an account of tlie balloting. Mrs. Smith wiis absent. There was a notable absence of the feeling of tensity that sometimes per vades a convention hall, as the balloting gets underway. Ralston Denies World Charge. Indianapolis, Ind., June 30.—U. S. Senator Samuel M. Ralston, iu a state ment here today in reply to attacks in the New York World, reiterated his de nial of any connection with the Ku Klux Klan organization, and challenged any one “who has doubt as to the truthful ness of my statement" to disclose this information to the public.

GASOLINE FOLK MUST GET WITHIN THE LAW Judge Maiming to Begin Action Unless They Get Right. Raleigh. June 28.—-Though the retail gasoline dealers had difficulty under standing the third hauling up which At torney General Manning has given them within the last year, the findings of the official given cut today seems to make pretty clear what he thinks of the gaso line war which as had the prices at such variance. The first conference before him was marked by the discovery of the widest sort of divergence in state prices. The market varied from 6 and 7 cents down to 1 and 2 for gasoline sold ip virtually the same territory. There were times when Apex was 5 cents under everybody ■ and other times when Sanford was far below the usual scale. The first con , ference did not work lasting results, but did appear to have equalized some what the prices. More recently Judge Manning has had in mind the fierce war in Raleigh iu which 20 cents is the low figure and several filling stations main tain that. The judge wns convinced that the big companies were back of that war and that., its net results could not be helpful to the trade. In that faith he heard the representatives here Thursday and today he gave out nis findings. Terrible Destruction by Storm at Chcs * ter. Chester, S. C., June 28. —A checking ' up tonight of the terrible destruction done a few miles north of Chester by : the hail storm shows that approximately 300 acres of excellent stands of cotton was wiped out by the hail storm. The hail lasted about 00 minutes and was as large at some of the places as guinea i eggs. The loss falls mighty heavy upon those damaged, since practically on in : sura nee was carried. .

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION TOO MUCH FOR COOLIDGE Has His Radia disconnected and silence J Now Prevails. ’ Washington, D. C., June 27.—The Democratic convention was too noisy for ('alvin Coolidge. A radio with a full throated trumpet has been holding forth in the Cabinet room adjacent to Cool idge's office and desk. But today its . voice was stilled, and attaches and oth ers. including occassionally a Cabinet member who dropped iu to listen, were barred. Silence, complete and absolute, prevailed. Coolidge sat at his desk. There was a brief, perfunctory and featureless Cabi net meeting. Frank Stearns, as noiseless as his hero, made his way soft-footed in to the Presidential sanctum and out again. Apparently nothing was said. There was a newspaper conference—al so brief and featureless. Otherwise, the White House was de serted—inanimate—so still that the mel low chimes of the Cabinet room clock were like cannonade that startled yawn ing and idling bookkeepers. It was explained in low tones to the inquiring that the radio had been a dis cordant note. Its thunder and roaring, bauds and ballyhooing that lias filled the , air for two days hart gotten on some body's nerves—whose nerves was left to inference, since Coolidge is the only hab itue of the establishment wl:o has not dropped in from time to time to catch a fragment of the proceedings—anyway, everybody else concerned confessed to disappointment that the one animate, ar ticulate point of interest at the White House has been banished. COTTON FARMERS MADE MONEY, SURVEY SHOWS Average Net Production Cost Shown to Be 22 Cents With Sale Price of 30 Cents. Washington, June 29.—Farmers made money on cotton, according to the de partment of agriculture, which issued a summary today of a survey into the cost of production. Cotton reports were received from 2,519 fanners, but the greater number of replies were from farmers having yields considerably above the average of 129 pounds per acre, according to the division of crop ■ and livestock estimates. The costs are therefore shown by yield groups, rather than an average cost for the entire cotton belt. Os the 2,519 reports, 407 showed yields between 101 and 140 pounds per acre with an average of 124 pounds and this group is regarded as most nearly representative of the general conditions in the cotton states. The average net cost of production on these 407 farms was 22 cents per pound of lint and the average price received was 30 cents per pound. Fifty-five per cent, of all farmers re porting had yields of more than 140 pounds per acre, and on an average pro duced their cotton at considerably less cost per pound than did those who had yields from 101 to 140 pounds of lint per acre. Os all cotton farmers reporting, 732, or 29 per cent, produced 100 pounds of lint or less per acre and of these farmers, 281 produced cotton at a cost above the price received.

Judge Linn ruled that the social meeting was not religious worship and the boys were dismissed. His honor pointed out that if the social session had been opened with prayer It would have come under the bead of religious worship. MORRISON TAKES A HAND IN THE DEBATE Governor Opposed to Naming Klan in Democratic Platform. Madison Square Garden, New York, June 28.—"1 am speaking for the rights of the men who mistakenly belong to the Ku Klux Klan." declared Governor Cameron Morrison in taking part in the debate on the Klan plank in the Demo cratic platform tonight. Governor Morrison opposed the specific naming 'of the Klan in the platform of the party. "No intelligent liflitjral party,” he said, “can condemn a group of foolish, i intolerant bigots in North Carolina when the Klan commits outrages, and they are very few, we offer rewards and get the men responsible. We put three professed Ku Kluxers on the roads and two of them are still there and the Klan did more to put them there than anybody else, he said. “Let us not do this thing as poli ticians but as followers of the great Thomas Jefferson and above all of our I.ord Jesus Christ. ‘‘o, my God! So unjust, so unwise; let us not do this tiling. I am tolerant; I have many Catholic and Jewish friends. I have appointed Catholics and Jews to office tn North Carolina. J 'fmild vote for a “CatßoTie air a Jew. "I would like not only to vote for but to place in nomination this great Catho lic, our chairman, Thomas J. Walsh," he concluded. Governor Morrison swung around toward the chairman and drew a laugh from the audience when his swinging gesture came slots- to striking Walsh in the face. EXPERT SETTLES ARGUMENT REGARDING HEN AND EGG 'University Lecturer Declares Bird Was Second in the Start.. Chicago, June 30.—A question of the ages has been settled. "The hen comes from the egg, and not the egg from the hen.” said Professor Conrad E. Tharald sen, of the department of zoology of Northwestern University, today, in an address upon "Heredity." to summer school students. “I realize," the professor continued, “that I'm settling in a rather offhand manner one of the momcntcuus ques tions of all time, but my research work compels me to reiterate that the hen comes from the egg, and not the other way round. carries new germ cells which produce other eggs and pre sumably new hens, but all hark back to the zygote. It’s the same in human be ings—the person dies, but the germ cell lives on in a circdit as complete as eter nity.” THE COTTON MARKET Prices Lower During Early Trading Ow ing to Liverpool Cables. 13r the Associated Press.) New York, June 30. —The cotton mar ket was lower in today's early trading, because of relatively easy Liverpool ca bles, reports of continued good weather in the South, and a tendency to raise estimates of the probable crop. The op ening was barely steady at declines of 6 to 10 points, and the market eased off to 24.76 for October and 24.07 for Decem ber, or about 10 points net lower. No July notices were reported in circulation, j and after- selling off to 28.82, or about 21 points net lower, that position rallied to 28.04 on covering.

BISHOP MOUZON FAVORS THE PLAN While Bishop Candler, the Senior Bishop, Opposes It. —Legality <of the Session Questioned. (By the Associated Press.) Nashville, Trim.. June 30.—With the special session of the General Confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, convening at Chattanooga. Tenn., on Wednesday, July 2, for consideration and a ballot upon unification plans draft ed by the joint commission on resolution of unification of the Northern and South ern Churches, aud ratified almost unani mously by the Northern Church at Suringfield, Mass., General Conference, every phase of the question that split the church in 1844 and which has kept the two branches apart in administra tion although holding virtually the same doctrines and policies, is expected to be discussed. Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon, of Nashville, chairman of the Southern Commission on Unification, is one of the most en thusiastic members of the college of Bishops favoring unification, while Bishop Warren A. Candler, of Atlanta, j senior bishop of the college, is strong in his opposition to unification. It is stated by some that legality of the called session will be contested on the fi°° r - 1 r 11 1*° stated that a resolu tion will be probably brought forth early ill the meeting asking tha uuificattion anil minor matters pertaining thereto be the sole topics considered. _ Bishops Candler, Collins Denny, U. V. IV. Darlington and J. E. Dickey take the position that a called session prior to tile round of animal i-onferences. which finally must ratify any action taken by the special session, is unconstitutional. Several foreign delegates are speeding to flic states to take their places in the conference, the call of which was issn-il by the College of Bishops on Mliy 20 last. Five humlred or more delegates will be iu attendance, it is estimated. Ap proximately 400 attended the last regu lar session of the General Conference held nt Hot Springs. Arkansas. The session will be held in the New Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium while the general headquarters for the confer ence will be nt the Fatten Hotel. Dr. Charles D. Bulla, of Berkley, Cal ifornia. will agaiu edit the “Daily Cliris tion Advocate." which will contain a full -account of the proceedings duriug tie life of the meeting. Active members of the College of Bishops will preside in rotation at the calk'd session. As senior of the College, Bishop Cand ler will make a statement concerning the purpose aud object of the call. A secretary and assistants will be elected. While the question of slavery was the original cause of dissension in the Meth odist Church, the specific cause of the separation was constitutional, leaders in the Southern Methodism assert. A con flict arouse between the civil laws and the ecclesiastical rulings. Until 1870, when the general confer ence of the Church met at Baltimore, there had been no conference action oil the question of slavery. At that time the first official action was taken dis proving of slave holding and it was in 1784 that the most rigid laws were pass ed by the Church bearing upon this sub ject. Following the Baltimore conference a toue of moderation marked succeeding conferences until the limit of concessions to the views of the Southern delegates was declared reached by the abolition wing, when the conference passed a reso lution already pased by official members of the Westmoreland circuit of Virginia, complaining that, while geographically they were subject to state laws under which emancipation could not take pace, the Baltimore conference to whose ec clesiastical jurisdicion they belonged, re fused to elect certain of their preachers to orders or to admit them into the trav eling communion because they were slave holders. In response to this complaint the general conference adopted a resolu tion declaring that the simple holding of slaves or mere ownership of slave property iu. states or territories where the laws did not admit of emancipation and commit the liberated slaves to enjoy freedom, constitutes! no legal barrier to the election or ordination of ministers to the various grades of office, known in the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and could not therefore be con sidered as operating any forfeiture of rights in view of such election aud ordi nal tiou. This concession was declared the break ing point by thq abolitionists and that wing Keceded and in May 1843 organized the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Am erica, with non-slave holding as a condi tion of membership. Such action by the Wesleyan faction served to strengthen the convictions of both Northern and Southern membeis and in 1844 a peaceable and friendly separa tion took place, eueh section of the Church setting about to worn in its own territory to manage its own problems in its own way. The convention which organized the Methodist Episcopal 'Church, South, at Louisville, Kentucky, was ndd held May ***«***»« » TODAY’S • * NEWS » » TODAY » NO. 152 PmnttE NEW FIGURES INNOUNCE Total Increased When Re ports From Searching Par ties Were Received After Search During Night.
