P.)—Postponement of a vice- presidential nomination was agreed upon by leaders of the Conference for Progressive Poli- tical Action today.

LaFollette will be endorsed for president of the United Stuté and a platform em. bodying his principles will be adop- ted late today by the Conference for Progressive Political Action, un- less all plans go awry. No word aguinst the Wisconsin Senator has been heard from any of the delegates since his message to the ‘delegates yesterday in which he agreed to lead the progressive element gathered here, and the resolutions committee of the conven tion openly announced that it was taking LaFollette’s platform, rejec- ted by the Republican onvention, as a basis for their document. The platform which the conference adop ted at its meeting in February in St. Louis also will be used as one of the foundation supports of the declaration to be presented here to- day. No name other than that of La- Follette has been mentioned, but several names have dropped up as te a running mate for the Wisconsin Senator. Among: these are Senator Wheeler of Montana, S:nat@ Ship- stead of Minnesota, D, W. Robert- son, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine- men, and Huston Thompson, chair- man of the Federal Trade Commis- sion. Gossip has also brought out that the nomination of a woman is not beyond the vossibilities. The first business of the conven- tion today was the adoption of the permanent voll-call_ as reported by the credentials committee. Then came the committee on organization with its third party arguments ana this way ‘.o be followed by a report of the resolutions committee which promised its platform early. The endorsement of LaFollette was expected’ to be the final action of the convention. MAHONEY BARRED Cleveland, 0., July 6,—William Mahoney of St. Paul, was definitely barred today from the Conference for Progressive Political Action by the Adoption of a special report of the credentials committee. The report said Mahoney's organi- zation, the Farmer-Labor Federation of Minnesota, was entitled to repre- sentation but that he, by his action at the St. Paul session of the con- ference last February, and his pro- motion of the June 17 convention at St, Paul, had made him obnoxious to this organization. TRYTO MOVE _ CONVENTION Proposal to Adjourn to Kan- sas City Voted Down Madison Square Garden, N. Y., July 5.—A resolution to adjourn the Democratic national convention and Feconvene again in Kansas City was greeted with laughter at first in the convention, but later developed such evidences of support that a roll call was ordered on the questjon of its adoption.

PERFORMER IS FATALLY HURT AT KILLDEER Death of Gabriel Holmesley Laid to Failure to Wear Regulation Boots Mandan, July 5.—Gabriel Holme- sley, 27, young farmer-rancher ot the Grassy Butte vicinity, failed to wear regulation cowboy bodts with the high sloping heels when he par- ticipated in a Round Up near Kill- deer mountain yesterday and when bucked from an outlaw horse his foot caught in the stirrup. His right ankle, his left leg, hhis shoul- der were broken, his chest crushed in and his skull fractured. He lived about one-half an hour.

MANY ARE AT PAINTED WOODS An exceptionally large crowd at- tended the Fourth of July celebra- tion at Painted Woods Lake, near Washburn, many Bismarck péople being among those in attendance. The program included broncho bust- ing, tight wire walking and similar stunts, dances and boating on the lake. There were scores of picnic groups, many of them from a great distance, ; GLOVER TO TAKE INDIAN GIFTS BACK TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE When the personal representative of. President Coolidge, W. Irving Glover, danced with the representa- tives of the four Indian tribes which received testimonials from the Presi- dent yesterday, if marked an oc- casion memorable to him afid to them. To honor him the Indians invented a special dance, a grave, dignified step in whtch Mr. Glover took part.. Mrs. Glover also was @ guest of the Indians in several of their dances. i “The Round Up and the Indian ceremonies were all decidely inter- esting,” said Mr, Glover. “Of course we see some of these things in shows in the East, but the full ef- fect cannot be appreciated until seen in its correct environment. “The Sacred Bundle, a collection of the most prized regalia of a tribe, which is opened probably once a year, was especially interesting to me. Some of those chiefs, over seventy years old, were decked out in garments which have been in the tribe for decades”. Mr. Glover is taking back with him articles which the Indians are. sending to the President, a tobacco bag given by thé Mandans, beade? gloves from the Arickara, and a cerved wood pipe, the gift of the Gros Ventres. A war bonnet is to be sent later by the Standing Rock Sioux. Mrs. Glover was presented with a pair of handsomely, beaded slippers by the Arickara’ Indians. It ssing Republican campaign matters. REPORTFORGER ESCAPED FROM PEN, WAS SEEN ldwin People Believe That Dolman Reached There‘on the Day of His Escape ATE MEAL AT HOME Hurried Through Meal and Went on North, Is Word Received at Prison | A, G. Dolman, ‘forger, who es- {caped from the state. prison “honor farm here Thursday, was. still at large today but Warden J. J. Lee, out of the city at the time Dolman escaped, does not believe he will be at liberty long.. Dolman, he said, is a “dope fiend” and is not inclined to robbery, and is apt to be recog- nized or to eommit some act which will lead him into custody. His sp Ity, according to the warden, forging checks. A man believed to have been Dol- man ate dinner at noon the day of his escape at the home of a woman in Baldwin, 15 miles north of here, giving her his last twenty-five cents, according to information to the war- den. The woman, shown a_ picture of the escaped convict, positively identified him, as did another Bald- win resident who saw him on the street. The man who sought the meal at the home of the Baldwin woman wore a blue shirt but dark trousers instead of the prison khaki. The woman said she never saw a man eat.a meal so quickly. A rumor also was received that Dolman had been seen near Max. Warden Lee believes that Dolman threw the prison bloodhounds off the scent by hanging on a wagon and riding one out of the city dump grounds on the’ south side. The dogs could not trace him beyond his point. It is not believed he went on across the Missouri River. Dolman had been working on the prison farm for about a month, and was plowing corn at the time of his escape, near the old highway com- mission shops. It is possible that .he could have picked up a pair of old trousers at some point, to aid in hiding his identity, the warden said. He does not believe Dolman was aid- ed by a confederate. . p= me \ Weather Report >“ For twenty-four. hours ending at noon, e Temperature at 7 A. M. .

Irving Glover, third assistant master-general, to the Indian tribes of North Dakota, thanking them for the service of their sons and daugh- ters during the World War was pre- sented in a colorful ceremony in the Northern Pacific Park at Man- dan the morning of the Fourth of July. Speaking through an interpreter, General Glover told the Indian chieftains and representatives of four tribes—the Mandans, Gros Ven- tres, Sioux and Arikara—that Pres- ident Coolidge told him to extend the warm hand of fellowship of the President of the United States to the tribes, the first Indian tribes to receive such a testimonial. The bearer of testimonials also told the Indians and the crowd as- sembled that General Pershing had declared the American Indian the bravest of all American soldiers in France. He was referring in parti- cular to the exploits of the Indians in seouting and in other action call- ing forth all the skill and bravery of a soldier during the war. Gen- eral Foch, too, praised the Indian as the bravest of the brave, Mr. Glover told them. Accept Testimonials Sitting Crow, stolid, bronze chief- tain of the Mandans, attired in full regalia, accepted the testimonial for that tribe; White Bear (Tom Frost- ed) represented the Sioux, Foolish Bear the Gros Ventres and Charles Alone (Thomas Rogers) the Arikara. There interpreters carried the re- marks of General Glover, informal and directed to the chieftains and a few assembled, to the Indians while in the United States Army, needed Thomas Rogers, himself a sergeant no interpreter. General Glover told the Indians that seven of their blood had start- ed in as privates and risen to the tank of officer during the war, more than a hundred of them had made the land of France more hal- lowed by their sacrifice, and that Indian women, tov, had served as nurses. The Indians receiving the testi- monials were grouped in front of the a semi-circle, sitting down, while Major J. H. Hanley, chairman of the day; Major A. B. Welch, General Glover and others occupied the. platform. After the Indians had responded and all had struck a note of loyalty, General Glover spoke to the ground in gen- eral in elosing. “It is that spirit of loyalty that has made this nation great,” he suid. “It is that spirit of loyalty that has carried up 148 years to today, the strongest nation on the face of the globe. Though these Indians may be dark in color the same red blood that has made America courses through their veins, the same pas- sion for justice and liberty .beats in their hearts.” Among those at the ceremonies, he said, were 13 who served as Scouts under General Custer in 1876 and earlier days. Conveys Regard Speaking directly to the chieftains, My. Glover told of President Cool- idge placing the testimonials, one for each tribe, handsomely engraved, directly in his hands, and telling him to convey to the Indians not only his appreciation as the chief executive for the service of their tribesmen during the World War, but also to convey the desire of the government to see the Indians protected by the mighty arm of the government, and aided to become stronger and better citizens. In turn, the representatives of each tribe replied, and pledged loy- alty, as Thomas Rogers expressed it, “to the flag that has never yet touched the ground.” Each ex- pressed the willingness of the In- dians to fight for their country during the World War and to give it service in peace. Sitting Crow, in particular, dwelt on his always ready desire to make peace with all peoples. ACTRESS IS 4 BADLY BEATEN Chicago, July 5.—Miss Rosetta Duncan, one of the Duncan sisters, actresses playing in a musical review here, was beaten severely and her brother, Harold, also was attacked late yesterday by an unidentified Policeman in a suburban town. The Duncan sisters, Rosetta and Vivian, and their brother were drjv- ing through Cicero, when a traffic policeman stopped them and sn ar- gument ensued. According to the Duncans’ story, the| patrolman us- saulted Rosetta, fracturing her nose and inflicting various bruises abcut her body. Harold Duncan was beaten when he went to the aid of his sister. MAKING FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE Youth Suffering From Sceptic Peisoning Is Seriously Endangered PRESIDENT BESIDE HIM Wife Keeps Vigil — Injury Develops From Infection After Tennis Match shington, July, 6.—Anxiously watching for a sign of improvement in the condition of Calvin Coolidge Jr., son of the President, in his fight against acute sceptic poisoning, the White House reluctantly announced at noon today there had been no improvement during the night and morning and the case continued “very serious.” The 16-year-old boy is making a strong battle against the infection which has spread throughout pis system. Following its usual course, the poison in its spread has caused high fevers and intense pain. Treatment is centered on local- izing the disease, after which it may be possible to draw the poison from the body. Meanwhile much depends on the vitality of the patient. The President was at his office as usual today, but left for a while in the middle of the morning to take a walk about the White House grounds. He conferred with Secre- tary Wilbur and made cne other appointment. All engagements for the day were subject to cancellation Blister Develops A blister on the foot developed during a tennis match young Calvin played last Monday with his brother, John, 18 years of age. Little atten- tion was given by the boy to the aggravation at first, but he com- plained of intense pain in the body. Physicians were summoned and the serious nature of the illness’ was learned. There is little which can be done at this stage, it was said, with the problem largely up to the endur- ance and strength-of the youth. His youth is in his favor, but he has grown very fast during the last year. He surprised his parents and friends recently when he returned from school as the tallest instead of the shortest member of the fam- ily. Likewise, he is of slight build for his age. The illness caused a gloom to de- scend upon the White House on this the 52nd birthday of the president.

P.)—The na- tional convention of the Socialist perty convenes here Sunday, July 6, immediately following that of the Conference for Progressive Political Action ,whose adjournment was wait- ed before the Socialist procedure could be determined.

If the nomi- nees of the conference are acceptable to the Soialists, they declare the purty will not have candidates, but will throw its ‘support to the third party leaders. Eugene V. Debs, many times stana ard bearer, may not be in attendance at the convention because of illness. Local Sociali assert that the par- ta opposes communism and bolshe- viem. _ Addresses by leaders of the party will constitute the major portion of the program.

She had been playing with “sparklers.” Charles Kruger, 19, was fatally wounded as he was preparing to fire a revolver as his part in a noise making revel. A bullet from a wea- pon held by a chum, August Tam- burrino, 20, pierced his stomach. Tamburrino was held by the police for questioning. Edward Gable, 10, slipped as he jumped from a motor truck, with an armload of fire works and was killed when he fell into the path of another truck. The injuries generally were few. TWO KILLED IN AUTO CRASH Three Others Injured in Acci- dent near Hibbing Hibbing, Minn, July 5.—Two dead and three injured. was the toll of an automobile accident at Toivoila, 30 miles south of here, late last night, according to details which reached police here today.

Mr. Wattles served as deputy mar- nd was for- IN VOTING FAILS Both McAdoo and Smith Men Oppose Effort to Eliminate Favorite Sons, Fearing Po- litical Trick to Cheat Them —Al Smith Rises to New, High Point and McAdoo at One Time Reaches to Near a Majority in the Conven- tion DELEGATES ARE WEARY, TAKE ADJOURNMENT Madison Square Garden, New York, July 5.—The Democratic national convention, after an- other session of hopeless ballot ing for a presidential standard- bearer, adjourned this afternoon until 11 a, m. Monday. The last ballot taken, the 77th, gave Mec- Adoo 513 and Smith 368, SMITH GAINS Madison Square Garden, July 5.—Gov. Alfred E. Smith reach- ed a new high water mark in the balloting for a presidential nom- inee in the Democratic national convention today when Ohio, breaking up her block of 48 votes which had been going to favorite sons, gave Smith 203; McAdoo none. Another handfull of votes was taken from McAdoo in Mich- igan and given to Smith. Madison Square Garden, New York, July 5—(By the A, P.)—Still ob« durate to peace proposals the Demo- cfatic convention struggled on with its nomination deadlock today with- out material change in the standings of the leaders, Under the surface the forces of disintegration and compromise were at work, but they were making but little progress. Overnight confer= ences among the leaders appeared to have gone for nothing. Like two fighters in the ring, wearied almost; to the point of ex- haustion arid crumpled into a state of blind and dogged resistance after more than 70 rounds, the Smith and McAdoo forces went on with their ballot before an audience that long since had become tired and restless. If either had a real punch left it was reserved carefully for the su- preme moment that each side seemed to think was somewhat in the inde- finite future. Reject Ouster Rule After two ballots this morni tg, the convention received and prompt- ly rejected a proposal that thereafter the favorite son given the low vote be dropped on each succeeding ballot. until only tWo candidates remain in the field. The plan was interpreted by many of the Smith and McAdoo delegates as in reality a move to eliminate the two leaders and was voted down without a roll call. Unanimous consent first was sought for consideration of the reso- lution but it was refused by George E. Brennen of Illinois. The McAdoo and Smith people seemed to believe that if the favorite sons were elim- inated, one after another, and the two-third rule remained in effect, the time would come when Mr, McAdoo and Gov, Smith would face each other alone with each side unable to lock up more than a third of the total convention strength and thus veto any nomination. Then, they urgued, both the leaders would have to get out and let the convention have a new deal all around, The efforts to eliminate the favor- ite sons by formal resolution was renewed in different form by former Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who presented a resolution providing that after the 75th ballot, the low man on each ballot should withdraw. The process. of elimination would go on. under the heock resolution until five candidates remained in the field. The resolution was defeated on a roll call. Delegates Tired As the sing-song of the roll calls succeeded one another today, the delegates literally seemed to be in a daze over it all. Responses to the call of the tally sheet were shouted back in weary monotones. The convention seemed to be pre- ceeding wholly by force of habit. This state of affairs led some of the wisest of the party chiefs to pre- dict that any serious gffort toward compromise must ‘be delayed, at least for over Sunday conferences. “The delegates ‘alt are tired out today and in no frame of mind for sensjble reasoning,” said one of the leaders. “A little rest and a’ Sab- bath of reflection will do them good, We are not pressing them,” NEGOTIATIONS FAIL Madison Square Garden, New York, July 5—Two Fourth of July sessions of the Democratic convention failea to produce a nominee for the presi- dency and last night, at the end ‘al. 70 ballots, the party leaders began seriously to consider the administra. tion of heroie measures to break the deadlock During the day two favorite sont bad been eliminated, ‘McAdoo had reached a new high record within < 20 votes of a majority of the con- (Continued.on page 2)» S805, GOR sarge 5) *9e09tUG 5
