' (By The Associated tress.) SAN FRANCISCO, June 23. Rura fjlings of discord over the prohibition is ue became hourly more ominous today .a s delegates and party chiefs arrived in increasing numbers for the national con tention. i ' Hope that the gathering storm might ' .- pend itself behind the closed doors of the platform committee virtually -was ';. ' Abandoned by the leaders and they pre pared to face an outbreak of tempestuous debate on the floor of the convention itself. ' i (Such a development, it was agreed everywhere, would hold many dramatic ., possibilities, including a further eompli- cation of the uncertain outlook aa to the : . fireaidential nomination. '. Already the overshadowing issue in i pro-convention conferences, the question ''. . -f a platform declaration against tha present "bone dry" law almost took the whole stage for itself today as the gath ering delegates heard of Postmaster Qen : "ral Burleson's announcement for a modi fication of the Volstead act. By many - 'n. " accustomed to regard the postmaster gen- ral as a' political spokesman for the v '"' "white house, the development was aecept- ' ad aa a warning of which way the wind . exf Administration influence would blow. . Others among the party leaden refused '...', take that view, but no one here aa turned to know, with certainty how far the eentimenta of President WOeon might be In accord with those of Mr. Burleson. The latter, who announced his stand yesterday at Ban Antonio, Tex., will not leach 8an Francisco until late in the '- 3T week.' ' . What everyone here does know, how - .'ver, is that both sides of the controversy ' are cementing their lines and , bringing jlheir heaviest artillery for a finish fight. tAfter many conferences in an effort to lay a Jjasis for harmony, Homer S. Cum ' tnings, the national chairman, said today it aeemed a "fair bet" that the question (would be taken to the convention floor er a settlement regardless . of . what de- ciaion was made in the platform com ;. , tnittee. t Closely intertwined with the prohibi- 4t5on question is the problem of selecting . a nominee in accord with the platform v"' as finally agreed on, and among many of '. ' the practical politicians there ia a feeling ; that the two decisions must be settled ;' virtually at one stroke. Bo the pleas of . " Candidates ' managers are falling on rienf ' J ars for the present while the leaders get their bearings on the more immediate '- question of a bone dry or a beer platform. -'it- 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 cotn- '; pared to the prohibition tight. Xieoders of the bone dry forces were : confident today that they would command . . a good majority in the platform com- mittee, where each state has only one ;, v, member, and could keep out of the com mittee report any 'declaration for a '. (change in the present law. With this view most of the opposing managers pri ; vately Agreed, but they declared that ; , when fn appeal was taken to the conven .'V tion itself the vote would tell a much dif- v ferent story. The' large tate, it was .' . pointed out, while having only one vote apiece in the eoniimttee, will have a much '.;; greater voice in the whole body of dele gates who make up the final court of ap- -:; peals, r Ajjd most of the largest delega tions are counted on for support by the advocates o a beer plank. . f . A ewnplieating feature of a convention - floor fight would be the unit rule, under v -. which many state delegations are in- . i, ' strueted to vote as a body. It was sug seated today, however, that there might be a general agreement to let each dele--V ' gate be counted according to his con vie . tious wfien the prohibition issue came to Its final showdown. On that basis both aides were predicting victory and many of those in position to know were declar ' ing the Outcome would be close. Some of the oldest leaders declared, in ' "feet, that the division might be close enough to make argument and oratory on the convention floor the deciding factor. Is any ease, such an open fight would be . likely, it is predicted, to furnish many thrilling turns. (William Jennings Bryan would be ex - petted to bead the "bone drys" and be - probably would find pitted against him strategists, and orators of the -first rank. ' . W. Bourke Cochran, of New York, was mentioned as one of these who might t asked to match wits and eloquence with tha Nebraskaa in the convention debate. - " Although -Mr. Bryan is expected to tank a fight also against the adminktra : tion. treaty plank, tha general belief of : ak friends her ia that he will reserve his greatest effort for tha prohibition prob lem.

League Playing. In a long, hotly contested and friendly game the Clara mill team of the Gaston County League emerged victors over the Arlington mill at the end of the 13th in ning. The game was played on the tSouth Broad street grounds Saturday aft ernoon and was replete with features. The work of Milburn and Abernethy, the battery for Clara, was faultless and errorless, Abernethy winning the game in the last half of the thirteenth inning by lining out a clean eut three bagger. Hall, Patterson and Holland did splendid bat tery work for ftae Arlington boys and the Clara boys were thoroughly imbued with the fact they had been engaged in a real game. McADENVILLE DEFEATS LOWELL. Correspondence of The Gazette. McAIDBNVlULE, June 23. McAden ville won over Lowell here yesterday aft ernoon by a score of 11 to 7. The game was very slow from start to finish. Bo lick, Lowell's short stop, got hit by a batted ball in the sixth inning and had to retire from the game. The writer does not remember the name of Lowell's first pitcher, who took the short stop's place when Bolick got hit. Lowery went in to pitch. The game was played late in the evening and balls and strikes were hard to distinguish. This caused the writer, who umpired the game, to make some bum decisions, which looked bad Jko him afterwards, but umps have off days as well as players. This was one of them. Batteries: Lowell, Lowery and Crews; !McAdenville, Brittain and Johnson. Um pire, Brown. MERCHANTS WILL CONTINUE PRESENT ARRANGEMENT Will Close Saturday Night at 8 o'Clock as Usual Will Not Close on Wednesday after noons. ' Merchants not already closing on Wed nesday afternoons decided at a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce this morn ing not to close on Wednesday afternoons and to continue the present Saturday night closing at 8 o'clock. The meeting was largely attended. The matter came up in the form of a petition from fifty one salesladies asking for the summer months. After giving the matter thorough consideration it was decided that it would be impossible to cut down the hours any more than at present . YALE GIVES GEN. PERSHING HONORARY DEGREE OF LL. D. XHW HAVEN. Conn., June '2:i. Vale I'liiversiry at its 2lith commencement ex ereises in Woolsey Hall today, conferred the following honorary degree of doctors of laws: John Joseph IVrshing, who commanded the American expeditionary force: Thomas Devvitt Cuyler, railroad admin istrator and war time chairmiin of the Association of Kailroad Executives; the Right Hon. Sir Auckland Campbell Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, and Jean Adrien Antoine Jules Jusserand. French ambassador to the dated States. giiiia,' whu is credited with holding Presi dent Wilson's commLssion to write the administration league of nations plank. Senator Glass is the leading candidate for chairman of the platform committee and the general prediction today was that he would be chosen for that position with little opposition. iSome of the anti-ad-mi ni -it rat ion managers had not abandoned hope, however, thut they might combine their forces to elect some one else. Chairman Cummings said today that it still was an open -.question whether the adoption of the platform or the choice of a nominee would come first on the convention program. The prospect of a prolonged fight in committee over prohi bition and perhaps some other subjects has led to the movement to go ahead with balloting while the committee sits. The usual order is to dispose of the platform first, however, and the general feeding teemed to be that custom would be fol lowed. Such talk as there was today regard ing candidates seemed to strengthen the prospects of a deadlock for several bal lots. Some of those in the inner circle of plans said it was hard to conceive how the two-thirds necessary to nominate could be brought into one column for two or three roll calls at least and they point ed out that if two or three candidates divided the bulk of the voting strength among them, favorite sons and dark horses would be encouraged to prolong the deadlock by holding to their balance of power. In the generally aeoepted view the withdrawal of William G. MeAdoo will operate to make a deadlock more likely by distributing more or leas widelj. the strength which, had been lined up behind him.' Borne thought, however, at a con siderable following '-would vote for him despite his public withdrawal, while the moet cathuaiaatia of tha UeAdoo support ersatill were predicting that he would be tha nomine.

WILL ACmVELY SUPPORT ANTI - TYPHOID CAMPAI6N Woman's Club and Ministerial Alliance Ghre Endorsement to Campaign Will Begin Monday, June 28. Not many years ago death by typhoid fever and other diseases was thought to be providential and a disease which could not be prevented. But, today, people are coming more and more to realize the value of scientific treatment of diseases of every kind. And, answering the de mands of the people of the state, Dr. C. 8. Mangum, assisted by Dr. Will B. Hunter, came to Gastonia Monday to prepare the way for a campaign in Gas ton county against typhoid fever. Al ready several influential organizations of the town have given their endorsement to this movement and promised their active support in making it a complete success in Gaston. At a meeting of the Women's Club Monday afternoon those public spirited ladies endorsed the cam paign both for the elimination of tuber culosis and typhoid fever. Dr. fcipruill addressed the club in the interest of the tubercular campaign, while Dr. C. o. Mangum spoke of the campaign for the elimination of typhoid fever. The ad mirable community spirit of the ladies of the club was manifested in their hearty endorsement of both movemente. Another very influential body, the pas tors, in a meeting Tuesday afternoon passed a resolution promising their ear nest and active support of the campaign to free Gaston county of tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Among the' fifty thousand people of Gaston county there are only two men who are officially engaged in the cam paign against typhoid fever and tuber culosis. Consequently in order to wage a successful campaign against the two diseases, tuberculosis and typhoid fever, the enthusiastic support of every man and woman is needed in giving the cam paign the widest publicity possible. W. J. BRYAN SAYS McADOO IS TOO CLOSE TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN, Neb., June Discussing possible democratic, candidates for the presidency, William J. Bryan, in an article in his newspaper, The Commoner, declares that William G. MeAdoo is han dicapped as a candidate "by his close relationship with the president," while President Wilson himself, he says, "'need not be considered." Asserting that Mr. MeAdoo is also handicapped by "his silence on the peace treaty." Mr. Hiyan declares Mr. MeAdoo is unable to call to his support "those to whom tlic president's candidacy ap pealed with spei-ial force" and that he uoi.hl "furnish an easy mark for all of the president enemies." The article say-, however, that Mr. MeAdoo has con siderable Htreiilh anions wage earners. Referring to President Wilson Mr Bryan says that 'While vague hints and suggestions have been thrown out occa sionally, no one claiming to speak for the president or near enough to him to be assumed to express his wishes has an nounced his candidacy." Herbert Hoover is eliminated from the list of candidates whom Mr. Bryan con siilers "available." while Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, and Secretary of Agricul ture Meredith an: described as being "among the fert available men thus fur mentioned. To be available this .-ar. Mr. Bi.van asserts, a candidate must be known to he for woman suffrage, for prohibition and "against "Wall Street." As to Attorney o'iu-r::l I'abeer. Mi. Bryan says he entered ine campaign in a position fn "deal sternly with the pr.ifi teer and an expectant puMi, stood rendv to applaud, hut the profiteer seems to have things his own way and the attorney general is now suffering from the reac tion." He adds that the attorney trui. eral is ."unfortunate, too. in having tj espous.- the ratification el the "reaiy without reservations." Konner 'Speaker Champ Clark is men tioned as hnving his own state bc:iid him, while oppositift to Governor Kd wards, of New Jersey, and Governor Cox, of Ohio, is reiterated. "Governor Cox's friends." the article declares, "will urge lim as a compro mise between the wets of the Edwards type and the bone drys." Vice President Marshall is accused of making a feeble bid for the ' ' wet vote. ' ' "Judge Gerard's candidacy has South Dakota 's support and he has many fier sonal friends among other delegates." Mr. Bryan says. The following A. P. message today will be of interest to Boy Scouts : CHABLESTON, 8.

MORRISON JL'ID GMIEfl n JDirrr debate Managers of Two Candidates Agree to Joint Debate Will Hold. First In Raleigh Monday Night. (W. M. Richardson, in , server.) Charlotte Ob- RALEIGH, June 2'J. Following a conference between Heriot Clarkson, cam paign manager for Cameron Morrison, and J. Crawford Biggs, manager for Max (iardner, the following statement was is sued tonight : "The following arrangements for the the joint discussion between Cameron Morrison and O. Max Gardner, candidates for the democratic nomination for gov ernor, in the democratic primary on July .'I, 19'JO, are hereby agreed upon between the campaign managers of the respective candidates : ' ' The joint discussion will be held in the auditorium in the city of Baleigh, at 8 p. m. on Monday, June 28, 1920. Governor T. W. Bickett will preside. "Mr. Morrison will open with a speech of oue hour. Mr. Curduer will follow with a speech of one hour. Mr. Morrison will make rejoinder of thirty minutes. Mr. Gardner will follow for thirty min utes. "iDated this 22d day of June, 1920. "HERIOT CLARKSON, ' ' For Cameron Morrison. "J. CRAWFORD BIGGS, "For O. Max Gardner." Cameron Morrison today, through his manager, isused a definite challenge to O. Max Gardner to meet him in joint de bate. J udge Biggs accepted the chal lenge for Gardner for next Monday night, suggesting the debate be in Ral eigh. If the discussion is held here, it bids fair to draw an auditorium full of peo ple That will be between 5,000 S&d 6,000, and it is likely that the audience will be made up of people from all parts of the state. , Mr. Morrison's telegram to Manager Clerkson, to arrange the joint discussion, came from Troy. Mr. Morrison had evi dently rea-d Mr. (iardner 's utterances at Waynesville. Whether the debate is filled with "bit terness" depends on whether Mr. Gard ner puts bitterness into it. Mr. Morrison suggested the meeting only after hearing of slanderous reports that had been cir culated against him, and his answer was that if Mr. Gardner could prove them, if his supporters were responsible for them, he should meet him out in the open, face to face, and do so. Before Mr. Morrison telegraphed Mr. Clarkson today, the latter issued a state ment to the effect that, as Mr. Morrison's manager, he was ready to arrange the debate. Judge Biggs said: "I do not care to add an tiling as to what Mr. Uuid:.er was quoted i" the morning papers as having said." 'i inn came Mr. Morrison's telegram to his manager, which reads as follows: "See Biggs. Arrange joint d isi ussjon, beginning Monday. ' Mr. Clarkson then sent .lu.le Bigs a letter, citing Mr. Morrison s telegram, and winding up with the Hentence: "I will be pleased to arrange a joint discussion at once. The Observer correspondent called Judge Biggs over the telephone this aft ernoon, and he said that he had been in communication with Mr. Gardner ami ac cepted the challenge in his behalf. He said he thought there ought to be but one discussion, lie. said he thought th ought to be staged in Raleigh. iffair MANY GJSTONIANS GET RED CROSS SERVICE 8AD6ES The American Red Cross is awarding service badges to all those who rendered lour li'Midred hours or more service.

Dr. J. C. Galloway President. (By Rev. G. R. Gillespie.) Quoting one of the members, "after a serene, calm, quiet and peaceful sleep of eight months duration," the Ministe rial Alliance of Gastonia awakened to ac tion Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in tiie parlor of the First Presbyterian church. The meeting was called to order by Rev. Dr. J. C. Galloway and opened with prayer by Rev. W. J. Roach. An election of officers for the ensuing yean was held and Rev. Dr. J. C. Galloway was unanimously re-elected president. Dr. Galloway has served, in a most ac ceptable imyiner, in this capacity for a number of years, having gained the love and fellowship of all the ministers of all denominations who have come and gone in that time. Rev. Dr. J. H. Henderlite, who has served the alliance aa secretary for seven years, was renominated for that office, but in his most compelling and urbane manner declined re-election. Bev. G. B. Gillespie was elected secretary far 1920. Rev. J. W. C. Johnston, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church, was cordially received into membership. Dr. C. 8. Mangum, of the state board of health, was attentively listened to aa he gave a fund of valuable information regarding the typhoid fever situation in Gaston county and its prevention by inoc ulation. In the absence of Dr. Spruill ha also spoke favorably for a tuberculosis hospital. The campaigns being inau gurated and carried on by Drs. Mangum and Spruill were given the hearty en dorsement of the alliance and all preach ers in Gaston county are requested to stress this public health work from their pulpits next Sunday morning. ,J Rev. Dr. Ernest N. Orr, of Charlotte, was invited to come to Gastonia in tha interest ef the Interchurch World Move ment and deliver an illustrated lecture on the subject in the First Presbyterian, church Friday night, July 2, at 8 o'clock. ' The summer union services of the downtown churches will be resumed and Rev. A. L. Stanford will preach the ser mon at the first of the services to be held in the First Associate Reformed Presby terian church Sunday night, July 4, at 8 o 'clock. Members present at the meeting were Reverends J. C. Galloway, D. D., J. H. Henderlite, D. D., H. H. Jordan, J. W. C. Johnson, A. L. Stanford, W. J. Roach and G. R. Gillespie. The meeting ad journed to meet the first Monday in July. For the benefit of the ministers of Gas tonia who have not heretofore taken an active interest in the Ministerial Alli ance, may we not take the liberty of call ing to their attention the fact that this Alliance, not alone to ministers but aa affecting the moral life of the city in general, is oue of, if not the most im portant organization, in the city and if effective, is the pulse of the city's re ligious and moral life; safeguarding every avenue of the church and closely aliled with all the problems directly and vitally affecting the commercial, indus trial and civic, life of the community. The forces of the devil' are thoroughly and strongly organized and we need a strong organization to combat their son! deadeuing influences. We can not have it, minus interest and co-operation. As brothers in Christ let us stand shoulder to shoulder as witnesses for Him and His sentinels, that we may properly, coura geously and effectively control and con tribute to the moral and spiritual up building of Gastonia man and woman hood. The minister of every church in Gastonia. central, east, south and west, is cf rdiaily invited and most heartily vged to become a regular member at the next meeting, the first Monday in July.
