Braving possible death she went to her switchboard and frentically tried to arouse citizens of the town. One of the yeggs heard her, peered through a window and ordered her “to keep quiet if you know what's good for you.” “My father is here and I'll call him,” she countered, “Shut up and do it quick,” the robber said. Mrs. Delaney waited until aovut 4 o'clock, when the men disappeared, and then ran to homes of citizens to arouse them.

DAKOTA Expert Reports That Tour Through the State Fails To Show Any Rust Minneapolis, July 9.—The North- west grain crops are away to a fly- ing start in their annual $60,000,000 handicap tace with black stem rust, according to a statement today by the conference for the Prevention of Grain Rust, which represents agri- cultural interests of 13 North Cen- tral states. The statement is based on reports of field observers cf the United States Department of Agriculture, who are stationed at strategic points in the spring wheat territory. “The first appearance of rust was from 10 days to’ two weeks later than usual while the cereal crops have lately been catching up to nor- mal for this time of year,” the statement said. “At present the grain everywhere seems to have an excellent chance Yo escape serious damage. Unless the weather from now on is unusvally favorable ‘to the spread of rust the loss this year will be only a small fraction of the average for the past ‘seven years, which is approximately $50,000,000. “In North Dakota and Montana, not a single sign of rust has been noted in the fields. During the first week in July a competent ob- server from the state college of ag- ticulture made a trip from Fargo through the Red River Valley to Pembina, west to Devils Lake and back to Fargo without finding a trace of stem rust in any of the many fields inspected.” Reasons For Condition Reasons advanced for the excel- lent prospects include the cold spring which retarded the spread great reduction in these bushes through the eradication campaign of federal and state authorities. The destruction of some ten million bushes in the last seven years has greatly reduced the amount of in- itial rust inoculum. “There are still enough barberry bushes in the spring wheat states to produce severe attacks of rust. when weather conditions are right,” the statement says. “This is illus- trated that on July 7 sixty-five Larberry bushes were found at Wi Minnesoza. Jnder certain wind and weather conditions these bushes could fufnish sufficient inoculum to affect grain crops in the Red River Valley, ofticiais say.

Davis of West Virginia was nominated for President this afternoon by tlre Democratic national con- vention today after the 103rd ballot. 7 eh The opposition of William Jennings Bryan and the at- ° tempt of William Gibbs McAdoo to deliver his strength to Meredith failed to stop him. Beginning with this morning’s balloting the movement to Davis gathered a momentum which could not be retarded and gradually but surely through the succeeding ballots the vote flopped over into the John W. Davis column as state after state either increased its offerings to him or turned over its fuil quota, Bryan Opposition Fails Bryan’s opposition to Davis was swept away in the reign of. Davis votes which swept over the convention. The at- tempt of the McAdoo forces to make E. T. Meredith of Iowa the heir to the McAdoo strength commanded a following which made only a sad third and when the Davis flood was rising so fast that all other candidates were being swept be- fore it, Iowa, Meredith’s home state, withdrew him! from the contest and voted for Davis. Then scenes of disorder swept the convention as every- body clamored for a chance to join the winning forces. When the furore was at its height Thomas Taggart of Indiana mounted a chair and moved the nomination of Mr. Davis by acclamation. The motion was carried with a roar and Chairman Walsh shouted into the din before him: “The chair declares the Honorable John W. Davis the nominee of this convention.” Break Into Demonstration Immediately the tired, worn and weary convention, which had been struggling in the throes of a seemingly intermin- able deadlock for two weeks—with the threat of going into a third—broke loose in a demonstration of joy and relief. Immediately all the state standards which had previously been parading for other candidates—dozens of them in the ; midst of hard-fought battles of partisan dispute—were car- ‘ried into the aisles of the convention hall while a swirling, perspiring band of delegates followed in joy and jubilation. The Montana standard was the last one out but only because there was a dispute there as to who should have the honcr of carrying it into the procession. \ The band swung into “Dixie,” “The Battle Hym of the Republic,” “Maryland” and other airs which had been dinned into the ears of the convention in a ceaseless fussilade of music for the last two weeks. JOHN W. DAVIS Governor Ritchie himself led the Maryland delegation in procession and for a convention as prolonged CAREER TOLD IN BRIEF John W. Davis was born at Clarksburg, West Virginia, April 13, 1873. He graduated from | Washington and Lee University and from the law schcol of the uni- versity. He was married to Julia T. Mc- Donald June 20, 1889, who died August 17, 1900, and to Ellen G. | Bassel on January 2, 1912. He was admitted to the bar in 1895, was assistant professcr of law at Washington and Lee, 1896-7, in practice at Clarksburgh 1897- 1913; and is now a member of the law firm of Stetson, Jennings and Russell of New York. He was a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1899, occupied proniinent places in the Democratic state organization, and was elected to the 62nd and 68rd Congresses (1911-15), re- signed from Congress to become Solicitor-General, August 30, 1913, remaining in that office until 1918. He was ambassador to Great Britain 1918-1921. He was coun- sellor of the American Red Cross 1913-1918, a member of the Ameri- can delegation for conference with Germans on tre&tment and ex- change of prisoners of war, at pore, Switzerland, September, He was president of the West and hard-fought as the present one has been the demonstration for Davis was a demonstration of unity and good feeling and relief. Davis People Happy The Davis people, jubilant after a fight through two conventions to nominate their man, sent the lead- ers of their delegation headed by Mrs. Izatta Jewell down to the platform to review the procession. They had worked hard to nominate him in San Francisco four years ago and had failed; they had worked hard here in New York and had suffered the discouragement cf seeing his chances drop to almost nothing before they turned and rolled over the debris of the dead- lock between Smith and McAdoo. The crowd was happy at the prospects of having a nomination and going home and the delegates and alternates pranced along with as much vigor as éf they had not been at it countless days and nights and as if they were not shy several aggregate nights of sleep. William Jennings Bryan was asked for some comment on nomination of Mr. Davis. ‘He re- plied he had none. “Will you’ make one later?” he was asked. : “I ‘don’t know,” said the veteran war horse, who had taken the plat- form in a futile effort to vis and had jitated Virginia Bar Association, Phi Kap- pa Psi, Phi Beta Kappa, a Mason, and belongs fo numerous clubs in New York and.
