A defective flue is sup posed to have caused the fire., Mr. Cline was working in a field some distance from the house and Mrs Cline being alone was unable to save very many things. The smokehouse which contained several v hundred pounds of meat was also burned. The barn caught from the house but the blaze was put out before it had gain ed much headway.! Mr. Cline's total oss is probably about $5,000 or more with 82,700 insurance. A! few articles of household furniture were all that could be moved from the house. Framed after days and nights of struggle with clashing interests' and opinions, the resolutions committee draft of platform was laid before Ahe Democratic national., convention ,' in San Francisco for adoption. . r '-Further conflict in the forum of the convention itself was regarded as certain. Irish sympathizers "among the delegates had served notice of their purpose to seek to have that plank re-written to include a flat de claration for diplomatic recognition of the Irish republic' Decisively defeated, in his efforts to force a bone dry declaration, W. J. Bryan announced, his purpose of re newing the battle on the floor. He had also "several" ' amendments to committee planks to present to the convention he added, but did not dis close their purport. ' The committee' platform 'was "silent on prohibition enforcement!

Claims of Republican public econ omy were branded as "false pretense" but the attack on the Republicans reached its climax in a separate plank devoted to "'Republican cor rpption." i:'-v This section discussed the "shock ing disclosure of the lavish use of money" by candidates for the Repub lican presidential nomination and the conviction" of a Republic senator" frim Michigan .charged with .having violated campaign, expenditures laws, to i draw the inference that there is indicated "the re-entry,, under Repub lican auspices, of money as an influ ential factor in elections," and ."stern popular rebuke" is invoked. The .Re publicans, the plank adds, control the senate only by virtue of the Michigan election mentioned. - , SOCIAL NEVS Al Fresco for Miss KendalL Mr. and Mrs. Oscar M.
