puts himself under obligations to Mr.
Murphy, and to the Influences which
speaV through and control him, and 1
contend that a candidate so obligated
would not appeal to the confidence of the
public and would not, if successful at the
election, be free to serve the people with
singleness of purpose.
Progressiva Vote the Test.
"There is not an aspirant for the nomi-
nation who would have dared to go before
tha people of any State and say, 'I have
the promise of Charles F. Murphy that
ha will deliver to me ninety votes, which,
under tha unit rule, are In his control,
as soon as I have enough more to glva
me the necessary two-thirds."
"I believe, therefore, that all progres-
sives are Justified In refusing support to
any candidate who desires the New York
support and justlflpd In withdrawing sup-
port if, after giving It, New York should
seek to add enough votes to give the can-
didate the nomination.
"We have any number of available
men from whom to make the selection;
a number of them are participating In
this convention, and some are candidates
before It. If either Mr. Clark or Mr. Wil-
son will announce his willingness to rely
entirely upon the progressive vote and
his determination not to accept the nomi-
nation If given under conditions which
would obligate hlrn to Mr. Murphy there
Is no reason why the convention should
dot agree on one of them.
Underwood and Harmon Under Ban.
"If tha feeling that has been aroused
between the leading candidates is such
that the progressive forces cannot agree
upon either. It ought to be easy to agree
upon some third person, who not having
been a candidate is not handicapped by
animosities, engendered, or by an adverse
verdict at the democratic conventions and
primaries. I will not discuss the relative
merits of the candidates now before the
convention who can be counted as pro-
gresslxes and 1 take It for granted that
there Is now no possibility of the nomina-
tion of the two candidates. Governor
Harmon and Mr. Underwood, who were
the choice of the reactionaries. I do not
mean to be understood as saying that nil
who favor them are reactionaries, but
where he and Judge Parker had strength
outside of their own localities, the sup-
port Is to be explained as a rule by the
reactionary tendencies of their sup-
porters.
Suggests Senator Kern.
"We have several persons taking part
In this convention who have not been
placed In nomination who are entirely
worthy of consideration. Senator Kern
of Indiana has already received the sup-
port of nearly six millions and a half of
democrats for the vice presidency and
since that time he has not only been
elected to the United States senate, but
has distinguished himself among his asso-
ciates by the prominent part he has ta-
ken. He is the leader in the fight against
Senator Lorlmer. If there can be no
agreement upon one or these now being
balloted for It ought to be easy to com-
promise on a man like Senator Kern.
"Congressman James, our permanent
chairman, is a National character, one
of the leaders of the house of represen-
tatives and a, progressive who has been
In the forefront of the figh^lnce 1896.
"Senator O'Oorman, NeW*5Tork's mem-
ber of the committee on resolutions, Is
a progressive who has given to his State
a distinction of which she has been sad-
ly in need, he has combined a high order
of Intelligence and courage with a sym-
pathetic devotion to the rights and in-
terests of tha common people.
Alao Mention* Culberaon.
"In addition to these, we have Sena-
tor Culberson of Texas, a man whose
pure record would cvunmend him to the
progreaalves of all parties; and I would
add Senator Rayner of Maryland, after
hearing his strong plea before the reso-
lutions committee In favor of a progres-
alve platform. These men are but few
of the names that might be suggested.
Surely with such a wealth of presidential
timber we would have no difficulty In

garded lightly nor should the selection
be made carelessly. No man is fit to be

not to be made a party to such a quarrel.
Soma of them, however, felt that they
had mad« a mistake last night in con-
senting to an adjournment before mid-
night, believing that if Clark had gone
before the convention there would have
been a wordy duel between him and
Bryan which might have further weak-
ened the Mlssouiian's chances.
Dlsagrement Patched Up.
The friction between the Clark man-
agers and the Missouri delegation was
said to have been smoothed over. Sen-
ator Stone and former Governor Francis
were opposed to the coming of Speaker
Clark last night and resented the activity
of former Senator Dubois and George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts. Speaker
Clark, it is said, spent part of his time
in convincing his supporters that nothing
could be accomplished by fostering dif-
ferences of opinion at this time.
National Committeeman Taggart of In-
diana was asked by an inquiring delegate
this afternoon: ::Where are we heading?"
"I can't tell you yet," replied Mr. Tag-
gart, "and as far as I know I don't be-
lieve anyone Is in a position to say what
is going to happen."
National Chairman Mack called the
representatives of the various candidates
together soon after last night's session
closed with the purpose of ascertaining
what candidates, if any, would withdraw
and what dark horse possibility could be
united on. It was understood that no
no representative of Governor Wilson's
candidacy was present at this conference.
The deadlock was frankly discussed
from every angle and the various leaders
present discussed their strategical posi-
tions with the plain purpose of convinc-
ing the others that his candidate was the
logical choice.
Underwood In to Stay,
Senator Bankhead of Alabama, cam-
paign manager for Mr. Underwood, made
the conferees a lonjj speech In which he
flatly said that all the opponents of Mr.
Underwood should retire on the ground
that neither Clark nor Wilson could be
nominated In the present temper of the
convention and that If either side would
Join with Mr. Underwood, with the addi-
tion of votes from Harmon and Marshall,
he could be named.
Kepresentatives of Speaker Clark and
Governor Marshall also made it apparent
that they were In no mood to give way
and when the conference was over Na-
tional Chairman Mack remarked that the
situation seemed to be in more of a-tangle
than it was when the session ended last
night.
After an extended conference of leaders
this afternoon for the purpose of ascer-
taining what could be done to break the
deadlock. National Chairman Mack had
the following to say:
Situation Remain* Unchanged.
"Representatives of all the candidates
were present, and each made clear the
position of his choice for nomination. 1
can say there Is no change in the situa-
tion as a result of this conference, and
there Is no immediate prospect that there
will be. Certainly I do not look for any
change between now and the time the
next ballot Is taken."
Some of those attending the conference
were National Chairman Mack. Charles
F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hali;
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of
Pennsylvania, Senator Stone of Missouri,
former Governdr David R. Francis of Mis-
souri, Senator Luke L.ea of Tennessee and
National Committeemen Taggart and
Sullivan.
Leader Murphy was uncommunicative
on the conference. Mr. Mack expressed
the opinion that the time had come when
a settlement should be reached and that
the highest quality of leadership would
be shown if the leaders would forget that
they were for any particular candidate.
Notwithstanding the free exchange of
opinions and suggestions no definite re-
sults were reached. As one of the leaders
remarked after a long discussion: "This
seems tcv be a delegates convention."
Clark Men Will Never Say Die.
The feeling among the delegates to-
night was that the convention was in for
another long fight to name a ticket.
Judge Martin J. Wade, National com-
mitteeman from Iowa, said that Clark
would show Increased strength on the
first ballot tomorrow.
Judge Wade takes the position that the
Bryan-Clark affair has solidified the
Clark forces and that they will never
give In.
"We will stay here all summer to fight
it out," said Judge Wade tonight, "if It
Is necessary. It Is not now a question of
this or that man's candidacy, but whether
this convention will vote to sustain an
attack on a democrat who has risen from
a plough boy to speaker of the house of
representatives."
As to the attitude of the Indiana dele-
gates, it was understood that the Indiana
delegates will continue to cast their
thirty votes for Governor Marshall for
several more ballots In the hope that the
Clark vote may split up and some of It
land In the camp of the Indiana governor.
The Indiana folk argued that sooner or
later a move to bring Governor Marshall
to the front would be logical.
May Go to Wilson.
In the event, It is clearly shown that
the convention will not turn to Marshall,
the delegates. It was said, will cast their
ballots for whoever they desire. It was
said late today that twenty-six out of
the Indiana delegation would go to
Woodrow Wilson and that after they had
voted for the New Jersey governor they
would inaugurate a movement to have

mr. Bryan that, though in judgment, a
progressive only two months ago, and
even only one week ago, I am not a
progressive now? Have 1 suddenly proved
faithless to the principles which 1 have
upheld steadfastly for twenty years? No!
Havo I been recreant to my trust as
speaker of the house of representatives?
No!
Bryan's Charge* Baseless.
"Mr. Bryan cites no act of mine as
evidence of his assumption. He with-
holds his vote from me because he 'will
not participate in the nomination of any
man whose nomination depends upon the
vote of the New York delegation.' "
Mr. Clark then quotes at length from
the statement which Mr. Bryan read in
the convention and concludes:
"Although Mr. Bryan's words are
shrewdly chosen to avoid making a direct
charge upon me, the implication is plain.
It Is that, if elected president of the
United States, I would consider myself
obligated to those whom he mentions,
and that I would be under the "control of
those Influences.'
"It would be unbecoming ln upholding
my present position to express the indig-
nation which I feel at these veiled asper-
sions upon my character. My integrity
has never before been questioned for the
simple reason that never once during the
seventeen years I have served in congress
have I been subjected to the test of temp-
tation through wrongful influences in any
form.
Replies as Speaker of House.
"But whether I shall become your
designated candidate for president or not,
I am your speaker at a time when your
party is in the crucible of scrutiny, and
I can not, in duty, permit these aspersions
to pass unheeded.
"As speaker, as a lifelong democrat,
Froud of my party, as an American man,
pronounce Mr. Bryan's implied accusa-
tions both false and infamous.
"If I am speaking the truth with re-
spect to this matter, it follows necessarily
that the reasons advanced by Mr. Bryan
for departing from the time-honored cus-
tom of our party in recognizing the voice
of the majority, are not reasons at all, but
shallowest of pretexts put forward to
achieve some purpose, which I shall not
attempt to divine.
"I bid you, then, say to my friends that
I accept with deepest gratitude their re-
newed assurances of loyalty, and now de-
clare, without qualification, that my name
will remain before the convention subject
to no trade or dicker, until two-thirds of
the delegates shall ratify or refuse to
ratify the action of the majority."
Governor Marshall named as vice presi-
dent.
Senator O'Gorman of New York and
Senator Kern of Indiana talked for two
hours this afterripon over the situation
in which the convention found itself.
Both senators said that their talk had
no significance. Senator O'Gorman said
in his opinion Governor Wilson will be
the nominee.
Former Governor Francis of Missouri,
one of the leaders of tho movement for
Speaker Clark, said that the Clark forces
had no intention of retreating; that they
were entrenched for a stout campaign and
they were not considering compromising.
"It has been the history of the demo-
cratic party for more than seventy years,"
said Mr. Francis, "that the man who re-
ceived a majority of tho votes ot me
convention was the nominee of the party.
Mr. Clark received a majority of the con-
vention's votes and is the moral nom-
inee."
Weary of Compromise Talk.
Senator Bankhead remarked with some
asperity that he was weary of the talk
fhat the Underwood forces would com-
promise.
"Mr. Underwood is the logical choice
for president," said Mr. Bankhead, "and
we propose to stand firm. They have
got to come to us."
TJie Underwood managers expressed
themselves as entirely satisfied with
events up to the present. They believe
their timo Is coming and that their plan
of campaign, which Is a waiting one, has
been Justified.
After the other leading candidates have
demonstrated their inability to secure the
nomination, the Underwood men say the
chance will come. With that end in view
it was said that the Underwood support-
ers had not tried to increase the vote of
their candidate on any of the twenty-six
ballots taken thus far. Their attitude has
been to let every man have his day and
at the same time keeping Underwood be-
fore the field as the man to turn to as
second choice. The time must come, they
feel, when the convention will recognize
the necessity for a realignment. AVhen
this point Is reached the strength of the
Underwood campaign will be tested.
Because of this phase of the Underwood
campaign there is no spirit of compromise
ln their campaign except a compromise of
the other forces upon Underwood as sec-
ond choice.
Will Ignore Unit Rule.
An understanding was reached tonight
among the West Virginia delegates to
disregard the unit rule tomorrow and let
each delegate vote as he pleased. There
are several Wilson men in the delegation.
Underwood leaders met delegates from
the stronger Underwood delegations to-
night in a conference that lasted for
several hours. Senator Bankhead, man-
ager for Mr. Underwood, declared after
the conference that there would be no
deflection from the Underwood strength.
The delegations were carefully polled to-
day, but it was claimed that all could be
counted to remain loyal.
Denial was made tonight of a report ln
circulation all day that the Illinois dele-
gation, whiph has been for Speaker Clark
throughout the balloting would go to Wil-
son on the first ballot tomorrow. There
was no caucus of the delegation and,
therefore, It was not known just what
proposition was wavering in allegiance to
the Missourian.
It was reported also that the Indiana
delegation, which has been held intact
for Governor Marshall would split tomor-
row. Tho Iowa delegation also was re-
ported as prepared to swing to some other
candidate other than Clark.

(.Associated Press Report.)
NEW YORK, June 29.—Superintendent
George C. Vantuyl, Jr., of the State bank-
ing department today took possession of
the Industrial Savings and Loan company.
The affairs of the company, according to
Superintendent Vantuyl, were so inter-
twined with those of the New York Mort-
gage company of New York, organized in
1908. and the Columbia Real Estate com-
pany, a New York business corporation
that Superintendent Vantuyl was obliged
to close the mortgage company and is
adjusting the affairs of the several com-
binations.
The company's assets aggregate $2,414,-
873, which includes $1,770,022 in loans on
bonds and mortgages, $355,383 in real es-
tate and $157,467 cash on hand or in
banks. The aggregate amount due share-
holders was $2,392,024 and the total lia-
bilities were $2,519,299.

that there is no difference, he has no right
to complain of criticism at the hands of
those who believe that there is a vital dif-
ference.
"But the activity of Mr. Clark's mana-
gers Is as objectionable as his own inac-
tivity. They have been in constant opera-
tion with the reactionaries. If Mr. Clark
did not authorize them to act. he has, so
far as I know, failed to rebuke them for
acting. I take it for granted that he does
not object to the action of his managers
in soliciting or at least in accepting with-
out protest the support of the 90 wax
figures which Mr. Murphy, under the unit
rule, uses to carry out the will of the
predatory interests.
Puts It Up to Clark.
"The public is not much interested in
Mr. Clark's opinion of me; he will have
a long time In which to express his opin-
ion after the convention, whether he is
nominated or not; but, if I am any judge
of the news value of items, the people
would like to know immediately whether
he believes that the New York delegation,
which Is completely under the domina-
tion of Mr. Murphy and which contains
among its numbers representatives, at-
torneys or agents of nearly every preda-
tory interest that is oppressing the peo-
ple, whether he considers this delegation
thus controlled by one man who is con-
trolled by the interests, stands in the
same position as delegations who repre-
sent the masses and whether he has any
objection to a nomination made only by
the support of the New York delegation."
Charges Nothing for Tip.
"I have tried to advise Mr. Clark In
his own interest, as I believe, as well as
in the interest of his party and it is a
source of great disappointment to me
that he should have listened to personal
enemies of mine more than he has to me.
In using the word 'disappointment' I do
not use it in a personal sense for I have
no desire to impose my advice upon him;
but I feel that it is not presumptuous
for me to assume that I am better ac-
quainted with the sentiment of the peo-
Fle than those who have had his ear, and
am sure that I speak for a larger num-
ber. I am sure too, that I am as disin-
terested as those upon whose counsel he
relies, for I have no interest ln the sub-
ject except my interest in the principles
and policies which can be advanced
through the election of a democratic pres-
ident.
"I believe that Mr. Clark is right at
heart but during the last few .days he
has been misled and has failed to take
advantage of the opportunities presented
to throw himself in the balance when
questions of great importance were at
issue."
STRONG ARGUMENT
FOR SANE FOURTH
State Insurance Eoard Issues State-
ment Detailing Number Killed
and Wounded in Past Years.
(Houston Post Special.')
AUSTIN, Texas, June 29.—As an argu-
ment for a "sane" Fourth of July in
Texas, tho State insurance board today
compiled and gave out the following:
During the years 1903 to 1911, both in-
clusive, there were 39,129 people killed or
wounded in the United States of America
celebrating the Fourth of July, as shown
by the following table:
Year— Dead. Wounded. Total.
190 3 466 3,983 4,449
190 4 183 3,986 4,169
190 5 182 4,994 5,176
190 6 158 5,308 5,466
190 7 164 4,249 4,413
190 8 163 5,460 5,623
190 9 215 5,092 5,307
191 0 131 2,792 2,923
191 1 57 1,546 1,603
1,719 37,410 39,129
Aside from this enormous loss to life
and limb, hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars in property values are wiped out of
existence each year through the careless
handling and promiscuous scattering of
fireworks.
While the Fourth of July record in Tex-
as, from a standpoint of accident, death
and fire, may not be nearly so heavy as
losses of the day in other States, the
foregoing figures should appeal to the
thoughtful citizenship of the State that
sane and wholesome celebrations of the
glorious Fourth alone can forestall the
possibility of injury to both person and
property.
This department would urge the mayors
and other public officials of cities and
towns in the State to issue proclamations
warning the public of dangers incident to
the use of fireworks, and where there are
ordinances prohibiting or regulating the
use thereof, to see to it that such ordi-
nances are rigorously enforced. As a
further precaution against fire, trash,
waste paper, old boxes and barrels and
all other useless hazards should be carted
away and destroyed.
OPTIMISM OF WILSON AD-
HERENTS NOT JUSTIFIED
BY BALLOT FIGURES
(Continued from Page One.)
the week as a newspaper reporter. He
disregarded every offer made In the in-
terest of harmony, regardless of who
made the overtures.
He was bent upon rule or ruin, and as
the result, a convention which promised
great things has taken a turn which is
giving the real democrats of the country
many troubled hours as they count the
fine chances for assuring success in No-
vember that have passed over at Balti-
more and the nearnefts to wreck and ca-
lamity where the party now stands, and
all because of the jealousies and ambi-
tions of one man who was three times
given the highest gift in the party's pos-
session, only to lead it to defeat.
He Double-Crossed Wilson.
Bryan double-crossed Wilson by re-
fusing to say he was for him when such
a statement might have done him good,
and he childishly claims now that he did
not know Murphy and the New York dele-
gation would be for Clark until he came
to Baltimore. If he was so poc/rly posted
on the kind of campaign and strength of
the Clark forces he ought never to have
indorsed Clark months ago, only to throw
him over when he saw he was the choice
of more than a majority of the delegates.
He turned a deaf ear to Gore's appeal
for peace and harmony at any price,
with honor preserved, and he is in Bal-
timore today, ready to accept the presi-
dential nomination if it should come to
him through the unfair tactics he has
pursued since he embarked on his cam-
paign of domination or disaster to the
party. •
After Bryan had read his statement to
the convention, explaining his reasons for
disregarding the instructions of the Ne-
braska voters and turning from Clark to
"Wilson, Herman Rldder, treasurer of the
National democratic committee, who was
on the platform, went to him and asked
him why it was that he would withhold
his support from any candidate who
might receive the votes of the New York
delegation when he had accepted as a
contribution for his last campaign fund a
check for $10,000 sent by Tammany and
was informed of the fact at the time.
Ridder declared Bryan was dwelling in a
glass house. To this the Nebraskan only
smiled superciliously, and said he would
answer Treasurer Ridder if the latter
would agree to answer twenty questions
Bryan would ask him. The Incident
serves to well exemplify Bryanjs conduct
throughout tho convention

AMERICANS FAVORITES
AT STOCKHOLM
Steamer Finland Welcomed by Big
Crowd and United States Team
Greeted as Winners.
(Associated Press Report.)
STOCKHOLM. June 30.—An immense crowd
of those identified with the Olympic frames, in-
cluaint: the principal members of the Swedish
committee and the entire track team, -greeted
the steamer Finland when she docked here this
morning. J. S. Edstrom, vice president of the
Swedish-Olympic committee, made a speech of
welcome, saying he expected tho Americans to
win the Olympiad, but added that the Swedes
hoped to teach them something.
Colonel Robert M. Thompson, president of the
fxew York Athletic club, replied that the Amer-
icans hoped to win.
The Finland is said to be the largest ship
which has ever docked at Stockholm and the
Americans are conceded to be the star attrac-
tions of the Olympiad. The Finland will re-
main so that the athletes may have the benefit
of isolation and quiet.
The maiority of the American team made no
attempt at exercise today except to take long
walks.
Stockholm presents a festive appearance
The streets are decorated with thousands of
Swedish flags, blue with a yellow cross.
Flags of other nationalities represented at
the Olympiad are dispersed in profusion. The
contestants from the various countries, all wear-
ing distinctive uniforms and easily recognized
by national devices on their hat bands are seen
everywhere. Between 2000 and 3000 of them
have arrived here.
Americans predominate among the visitors at
the hotels. The weather, as in 3fM)8. favors
the Americans, who are more accustomed to
heat than thCir British rivals. The thermom-
eter for the last four days has stood at
about 90.
From Sunday Sport Sheets
Has Houston really cracked, or was the slide
of the Bisons last week but a temporary em-
barrassment? This is the question the fans
of the Texas circuit eagerly await to be an-
swered by events. The best guess is that Hous-
ton Is just about as dangerous as ever and per-
sists in enough of a margin to make it hard to
head off for a while.
In the first place, Houston's reverse at Dallas
was not totally unexpected. The Giants are
dangerous all the while and Dred Cavender had
the scrapping spirit in his crowd. The Giants
took the series from Houston handily, but it
was no more than a partial return for the sort
of thing Houston recently did in Dallas at
Houston. Fort Worth also took a small wallop
at thlie Bisons; but. then, the Panthers have
been making gay signs of returning life. Hous-
ton had some reverses coming at the hands of
these two clubs, and it does not of necessity
mean that the Buffs have hit the toboggan.
Another reason why Houston should take
a decided brace now Is the return of the Bisons
to their home pastures by the banks ot the
Buffalo bayou. Houston is a hard club to beat
at home, and the Bisons will have in other ways t
the better of the going, being pitted against
clubs that have not been raising much dust of
late, except In the slip.
Unless the Houston club has cracked far
worse than now seems likely, the team will
catch its feet nobly within a day or two and
set about treating Beaumont and Galveston
with marked traces of disrespect. Returning
home with still a margin on the others. Hous-
ton's athletes look HSelv to bold their own
fairly well until along in the latter part of
July.
The Buffaloes are not a gang of fretful
youngsters altogether, and they are hardened
to the uses of adversity. There is small chance
that the club will blow fatally as is possible
with a baud of mere striplings. Most of the
men are enamored of the T?xas brand of hot
weather, too, and that helps.
Houston may be slipping • back, but the
Buffaloes have not yet slipped back quite far
enough to meet any of the others coming up.—-
San Antonio Express.
Fort Worth fans have taken a new interest
ln the Texas league race, the wonderful showing
of tho I'anthers during the past week giving
them grounds for the belief that the local clot)
may yet cause a stir In the Wilbur P. Alien
loop. Of course there are none so rash as to
say for a minute that the Panthers are going to
grab the rag, but there are many who believe
that Morris' men have yet time to battle their
way to a first division berth.
During the invasion of the Southern teams
only one club got any the best of the locals
and that team right now looks to be more
dangerous than the leaders. The club referred
to is the San Antonio Broncos. They lumped
ln here and took three out of four from, the
Panthers. Galveston had previously dropped
two to the locals. San Antonio was followed
by Houston and the league leaders did well to
break even ln two games. • They won the first
after a fifteen-inning battle. The Panthers won
the other clash of the series in easy fashion,
batting Hose, the Buffs' star twirler, hard.
Beaumont followed Houston, and the locals
took four straight from tliein.
Houston just managed to break even on the
trip around the Northern circuit, while the
Broncos did better than that, winning eight and
losing live. Houston's record was six won and
six lost. Houston is back home now battling
Beaumont, while San Antonio has the Pirates as
Its guests. San Antonio and Houston do not
tangle again until the latter part of July.—Fort
Worth Kecord.
George Crabble, the Panthers' big portsider.
Is already making .plans for an act in vaude-
ville next year. The big fellow has been on
the stage two years now and in the East is
rated as the best actor-bnll player In the busi-
ness. Crabble has a vaudeville sketch which he
wrote himself and it is declared by critics to be
one of the best baseball sketches ever put on
the stage. ln fact, nothing like it was ever
attempted before. ... ...
Crabble depicts a scene in a club house right
after a team has lost a 2 to 1 game. The third
baseman has made an error, letting in the two
runs. Crabble. the pitcher, goes after the third
baseman rough shod and tho two have a wordy
war which is immense. The lingo of the ball
player is used and the act has never failed to
score a big hit. , ^ t .
• I got all the dope for my sketch from the
Oklahoma City team in the Texas league when
I was with it a couple of years ago," said
Crabble the other day. "8111 Yolie was the
third baseman who kicked the game away for
me Quisser was the catcher I copied after.
Bill Yohe was with me the first year in the
sketch and he make a corking good actor, too.
He pulled the same stuff that lie used to
spring in the club house and it was great.
Browning of the San Antonio club will be with
me next fall. I am not sure who the other
two will be. I received a letter from Germany
Shaefer recently. He wants to join the quar-
tette and I believe he would help it greatly."
The Dallas News features one of the best car-
tdbns of the week. Seven clubs of the Texas
league are pictured racing for the pennant In
the order thev now stand In the percentage
column. Fort Worth, weeping at the post.J
savs tearfully: "Come back! I want to star!
ali over again!" The heading reads: "Coursf
too long for quarter horses"; the underline
' But they jes' kept on running."

OPENED DOORS TO ALUMNI.
University Students Who Left Vol-
untarily Can Join Association.
(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—Every for-
mer student of the University of Texas
who left the institution voluntarily is
now entitled to become a regular member
of the Alumni association. This will ad-
mit fourteen or fifteen thousand persons.
The action authorizing the invitation to
former students to become members ol
the association was taken at the June
meeting of the association. President G.
K. Lee of Fort Worth expects not less
than five thousand former students to
become members of the Alumni associa-
tion of the University of lexas during
the present year under the foregoing pro-
vision. The action was taken as part of
the general movement to awaken intelli-
gent and active interest in higher educa-
tion in Texas. It is probably a direct
result of the Hogg organization.
"Will C. Hogg of Houston urged the
association to open its doors to all former
students, and the action was finally taken
by a unanimous vote.
