BRYAN IS NOT ON THE PLATFORM COMMITTEE San Francisco, June 29. The ad ministration forces today entered the second day of the convention appar ently in full control, with Carter Glass as chairman of the, resolutions committee; Senator Robinson, of Ar kansas, another administration sup porter, was chosen permanent chair man, and other administration men at the head of the other committees, was th line-up. The. threatened anti-administration fight, as, far as related to the organi. zation of the convention machinery, collapsed. without a showing. William J. Bryan was not included in the sub-committee chosen to draft the platform. The . rules committee decided that nominating speeches should be made while the resolutions committee was working on the platform, but there should be no balloting until after, the platforiri was adopted. This plan should save' much time. The administration control indi cates that there is less prospect to day of an open fight on. the platform question on the convention floor, the administration leaders appearing con fident that differences will be settled in the committee. The convention meets today at IVclock. Decides' Life of the Hunted Not What It $s Cracked Up to Be. " Greenville, June 29.

Y CITY NO MORE mmwm Manufacturing Centers Swell Their Population With Immigrants. New York, June 28. Marked de flection of immigration from New York City to inland centers during the last year is given by immigra tion officials at Ellis Island as one explanation for the fact that this city's population was shown by the 1920 census to be only 5,621,121, in staad of the 6,100,000 expected. Rowe, official money changer for incoming aliens, asserted that money exchanged- for immigrants whose des tination is New York City, does not amount to one-hundredth part of the amount exchanged for those giving other points as their destination. "In former years," said Mr. Rowe, "immigrants poured into New York City by the hundreds of thousands. They are; now going to manufactur ing centers such' as Pittsburgh,' De troit and- Akron, O., or to the coal and iron mining regions. We are ex. changing a hundred times more mon. ey for aliens in transit than for those coming to New York City. WITHHOLD STATEMENTS. London, June 29.

Unless some remedy is found for the acute shortage of nurses, many hospitals of the country will be compelled to cur tail their operations, asserts Mrs. An. nie L. Hansen, superintendent of the Buffalo District Nursing Association, in her annual report today. A recent campaign to induce more young women to take up the profes sion of nursing was a failure, Mrs. Hansen said, and as a result one Buf falo institution was compelled to close one of its departments. "Hospital training schools of the United States have reached a high state of efficiency and new hospitals and new systems for nursing the sick in their homes are arising everywhere but the necessary pupils fail to ap pear," Mrs. Hansen sail "The coun try needs another Florence Nightin gale."

PLATFORM WAITS Platform Committee Hold An Open House to Hear Sug gestions Made. San Francisco, June 29. The ac tual preparation of the Democratic platform waited today while the plut form committee kept open house to hear the final suggestions and argu ments from many sources. The labor, liquor and Irish questions were up for debate at the public hearings. Also many speakers on issues of lesser controversy, and there seemed to bo little prospect that the long list will be finished until late in the day. j Whether a combination of oppos-' ing forces can be accomplished to stem the tide of the administration success has not yet been revealed. Close observers would not be sur-, prised to see the next move a definite j trend toward some particular candi date for the presidential nomination. While the administration forces worked in concert to control the ma chinery of the convention there is no assurance that a community of in terest among them will continue when the balloting has reached the' end of the preliminary stage of complimen tary voting. Many believe there will be no definite drift of the presiden tial Sentiment until after the plat form is adopted.

Rumania is being swept with a vast wave of spec ulation, the object of which is to overcome the high cost of living, which harasses the richest and poor est alike. The primary cause of the advanced price of necessities is found in the fact that all manufactured pro ducts have to be imported whereas there is sufficient amount of food grown in the country to support the population and this food has not risen in proportion of dress goods. The cost of living in Rumania has been the occasion of many strikes, but as in every other country in Eu rope, people seem to find unexplained ways of buying fine clothes and keep ing themselves well dressed. The wealthy women of this coun try make bi-annual trips to Paris and return with their trunks filled with shoes and silk stockings and dresses of the latest fashion, which they bring into the country despite the prohibition against the importation of such articles, and also a 25 per cent customs duty which is paid with specia 1 permission is obtained to bring in goods. When such permis sion is not obtained, the goods are smuggled in automobiles over the frontiers. " Princess Elizabeth went to Paris last winter and bought herself three huge trunks full of new clothes, but arrived home heart-broken. While passing through Jugo-Slavia during the customs examination, the trunks were stolen.' ..Cabinet members are practically "llie'o'illynen who have not "1ifldheir salaries raided. They still receive the equivalent of ubout $200 a year. The former minister of the interior, Nich olas Lupu, was nearly bankrupted on one occasion when he was compelled to buy a silk hat to appear at a royal ceremony.

The other nhip which came from Vladivostok carried I,0.ri0 German, Austrian and some Turkish war pris oners from Siberian anil Chinese points. In a speech of welcome to the peo ple from Tsingtau Admiral Taegert said although Germany had been de feated in the Far East seed had been sown there which would restore the honor of Germany's name. Admiral Meyer.Waldeck, accord, ing to an agency report, replied that since the end of the war a strong re vulsion of feeling in favor of Ger. many had set in in Japan where there was much indignatoin at the entente interpretation of the peace treaty.

Robbers Made Up of Troops Who Have Deserted Army at Szechuen. MAIL PACK TRAIN LOSES - CARGO ON MAIN ROAD Chengtu, China, June 29. Depre. dations of robber bands along trade routes in Szechuen province have be come so flagrant and widespread that urgent appeals for the use of troops to combat the menace have been sent to the Chinese provincial authorities by foreign firms operating in Szech uen. The bands of robbers are said to be made up to a large extent of groups of deserters from troops that have been stationed in Szechuen. The outlaws have become so bold that mail consignments, hitherto immune from them, have been seized. One recent report that was brought to Chengtu was of the robbery of a pack train on the "big road," which is the main highway between Chung, king and Chengtu.. In this 40 bags of mail were opened and rifled by the outlaws and ''the whole hillside was covered with stolen mail." Hn another case a caravan had been held up and robbed by a band of bandits-when a second stronger bund of brigands appeared, and com. pelled the return of the stolen goods. The leader of the smaller band was then shot. -The chieftain who did this declared that he had guaranteed the safe passage of this particular caravan, having received a substan tial consideration. The activities of the bandits are felt as much by the individual as bj the lurge commercial interests in the opinion of one Chengtu " misslsn worker who said : "It is a grievous hardship to send to America for a suit of clothes, pay for it at the ruinous prices, wait pa tiently six months for its arrival' and finally hear that it has been appro, printed by robbers' within a few days of its destination."
