BRENNAN ASKED
TO HELP END
DEADLOCK
McAdoo Backers Renew
Efforts to Push Out
Favorite Sons.
By the Awwiated Frees.
NEW IORK July 5.—A more to
xgauue a steering committee with a
n.emoer from eaeu delegation to settle
the presidential nomination deadloca
was undertaken this morning. Repre-
sentatives from the Missouri and
Arkansas delegations conferred with
George Brennan the Illinois leader
and suggested the committee as a way
to settle the deadlock difficulty.
The effort to eliminate the favorite
sons by formal resolution was renewed
in a different form by former Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska who presented
a reaoiu .on providing that after the
seventy-fifth ballot the low man on
each ballot should withdraw.
Mr. Brennan was tolu tuat the sit-
uation was becoming intolerable to
many of the delegates and the propo-
sition was made that a committee be
formed "that could meet while the bah
loting was going on. The Missouri
representative thought that solution
could be reached by this method.
BRENNAN IMPRESSED.
Brennan seemed impressed with the
suggestion and said that he would
confer immediately with the other
leaders and determine if the plan was
desirable. The Illinois leader had a
long conference thereafter with mem-
bers of the national committee.
Meantime the McAdoo followers re-
newed their efforts on the floor to in-
duce favorite son candidates to drop
out.
E. T. Meredith head of the lowa
delegation who today for a second
time cancelled reservations to Eurojie.
summed up the favorite son situation
thus:
“It ia high time that the men be-
fore this convention who have not had
a gain in votes since the start get
out and give Smith and McAdoo a
chance to show if they can win. If
McAdoo wins that will be fine; if
Smith wins the convention will be
over; in either case we will get some-
where.”
CASH AND CLOTHING
TAKENJYBURGLARS
Three burglaries and attempted
burglaries were reported to police
headquarters Friday night. Mrs. Kate
Britz 915 North New Braunfels ave-
nue said that a prowler entered her
room and stole $l4 in cash from a
suitcase.
At 10:10 Friday night Detectives
Fox and Walling arrested a man who
was identified by J. W. Keed 219
South Flores as the person they saw
break a window of the Allen Electric
Company 208 South Flores a few
minutes before. Nothing was taken
.as the man had cut his hand in break-
ing the glass. Charges of attempted
burglary are pending against him.
Jesus Mendoza 1203 Colima street

room had been prowled during the

ABOUT the boom in wheat Ber-
nard M. Baruch who doesn't
buy or sell but understands such
things says high wheat prices un-
doubtedly would help the Republi-
can candidates. But it is not pos-
sible for any man or group to con-
trol prices. However natural con-'
ditions might well send wheat to
$1.35 or $1.40.
IF a group of men cared to buy
150 million bushels and after
the election take a loss of 10 or 15
million dollars selling the wheat
abroad prices might go much high-
er.
That would be an ingenious way
for big men to contribute to the
Coolidge campaign. There is no
law to prevent gambling in wheat
and they might make millions in-
stead of losing. Mr. Baruch who
is supposed to have written the ex-
callent agricultural -lank in the
Democratic platform said “every-
body ought to be warned against
gambling in wheat.” Apart from
any moral question it is a highly
dangerous game.
WHO WANTS A BOY?
2 TOTS SEEK HOMES
(Continued from page One.)
are exceptionally bright. Although
too young to speak adult language
they converse with one another in coo-
talk that seems quite satisfactory.
The babies are of good parentage
and are considered exceptional babies
in every way by the grown people
who know them.
The Texas Children's Home-Find-
ing society offers the babies for adop-
tion. For two months the associa-
tion has card for the little wards
has tested the physical and mental
condition of the children through med-
ical and home care and has found
that they both may be offered to good
homes with the promise that they will
make healthy appy boys if they are
given te chance.
YOUTHFUL ROOM-MATES.
Earl and Francis are pals. They
share the same bed in the "boarding
home” where the society lodges other
babies lacking homes; and through
the happy days they sit and chat with
one another in their coo-language
chewing each other’s toes and hating
a splendid time generally.
Although housed within the same
room on the same iron-fenced lied.
Earl and Francis seldom disagree.
They coo nnd laugh at one another
eat nnd sleep and are friends.
Given a mother and father and a
home both babies may make fine
men may occupy exalted places in ths
life that is before them.
WILL CHASE LONELINESS.
Bereaved of love and happiness
the boys may leave their happy baby
days to become degenerates state bur-
dens and parasites without a chance
to be the men they could so easily
be with training and influence.
There are homes in San Antonio
that have no rocking horses no tops
or toys. Palaces and mansions may
boast velvet rugs and rich hangings
fine furniture and troops of servants
but without the influence of baby-
hands there is lacking a happiness
that money cannot purchase.
It remains only for the lonely homes
of San Antonio to share their luxury
and comfort with little ones so anx-
ious to be theirs.
Earl and Francia want to be some-
body’s sons.
Information can be supplied by
Miss Madeline Ostema of the Texas
Children’s Home-Finding society in
the Hicks building.
LORAIN. OHIO. ASKS
SAN ANTONIO AID
A plea for contributions to aid the
stricken city of Lorain Ohio visited
by a destructive tornado was issued
by Mayor John W. Tbbin Saturday.
It was made in response to a telegram
from Mayor George Hoffman of
Lorain appealing for assistance. May-
or Tobin requests that contributions
be sent to City Clerk Fred Fries.
The telegram to Mayor Tobin stated
that thousands of people are home-
less and that the money loss will be
$30000000. One fourth of that
nmount. he said is needed fnr emerg-
ency relief. The money will be dis-
bursed by the American Red Cross
at Lorain.

The age of miracles is still
with us. If you don't believe
it ask City Detective Rhunke.
He saw a "hopeless eripple'' lay
aside' his crutches. In fact.
Ruhnke has fhe crutches to
prove it.
11. Allen of 401 Baylor street
telephoned police that there was
a suspiciously acting crippled
man parked on the curb in front
of his home. The man was a
“hopeless cripple” according to
his own story.
Detective Rhunke went to in-
vestigate. He saw the old man
sitting on the curb his legs
frightfully twisted and deform-
ed.. Rhunke was touched at
the pitiful sight.
“Maybe I'll help the old fel-
low” lie thought as he ap-
proached him.

a corner of the yard a half-filled
bottle of tequila was found.
The Billings were married in 1919.
Neighbors report they have had fam-
ily trouble and Friday night they
fought and Billings was taken to the
city jail but later released. Two
children of Mrs. Billings by a former
marriage were at home and awakened
when the trouble started.
SISTER IS TOO LATE
Mrs. L. A. Crane. 118 Fairbanks
street sister of Hollyfield arrived at
the Robert B. Green hospital a few
minutes after her brother died. She
is the only relative of the dead man
living in San Antonio.
The body is being held by the Otto
Riebe Undertaking Company pending
the arrival of Hollyfield's father from
Kingsville. It is thought that the
body will be sent to Kingsville for
burial.
VICTIM WRECKS CAR
PURSUING HOLD-UPS
Marvin Halbrooks. night shift in-
spector for the Southern Pacific rail-
road. says that two men celebrated
the Fourth at his expense. He was
on his way to work at 1 o'clock Fri-
day night when two men held him
up. They bound Halbrooks and
searched him taking $ll and some
papers from him. They overlooked
55 cents in bis watch pocket.
Halbrooks broke loose from his
bonds and pursued the holdup men
in an effort to obtain the number
of their car. The chase led through
alleys and over rough roads. The
bandits fled down Victoria street
and turned off on Cherry with Hal-
brooks in hot pun it. Down Cherry
street raced the bandits in their car.
At the point where Denver Boulevard
intersects Cherry street they turned
off the lights of their car.
Thinking that they had turned into
Denver Boulevard Halbrooks attempt-
ed to make the turn but he was
going too fast and the corner was
too sharp. There was n crash and
when Halbrooks recovered conscious- :
ness his car was on the front porch '
of a small store building at the
corner. Persons from across tb«-
street took him to his house on
Kayton avenue and a wrecker took
his car.

SOCIAIRTS GIVE
THIRD PARTY VIEW
By the AMociated TreM.
BERLIN July s.—The German So-
cialists are inclined to view the ad-
vent of a third party in the impending
American election campaign as presag-
ing the birth of a labor party destined
te play a part in the nation's affair*
not unlike that now taken by the Ger
man Socialist and English Labo:
parties.
“The Fourth of July 1924. may yet
be counted among the most significan*
days in history—greater than any
date in the World war.” says Vor
waerts which predicts that the dat
is not far distant when the Unite.:
States. England and Germany th«
world's leading industrial nations
will have three homogeneously organ
ized and internationally affiliated so
cialistic labor parties in action.

Labor Party Congratulates
Workers and Fanners

By the Associated Pre c a
CLEVELAND July 3.—With dif-
ficulties ironed out by agreements to
thesh out differences of opinion be-
hind committee room doors the con-
ference for progressive political ac-
tion went into session today prepared
for a rapid fire wind-up of its work
culminating in the formal endorse-
ment of Robert M. LaFollette’s in-
dependent presidential candidacy.
The program was furthered when
advocates of the “third party” idea
decided not to carry their fight to
the convention floor. The largest group
of farmer-laborers contented them-
selves with issuing a statement Out-
lining their position.
BRITISH FELICITATION.
Cablegrams of felicitation to the
conference from the British labor
party and the British independent
labor party were read to the dele-
gates. The labor party message ex-
pressed the hope that the conference
proceedings would lead to the “asser-
tion of political independence by Amer-
ican labor nnd the formation of an
American labor party.” The other
communication declared the British
independent labor party “rejoiced in
the union of the workers and farmers
of America.”
Dozens of telegrams from individ-
uals and representatives of labor and
farmer organization pledging support
to Senator LaFollette and predicting
he will roll up an unexpected vote in
November also were read to the con-
vention.
MAHONEY BARRED.
William Mahoney St. Paul was def-
initely barred today from the con-
ference by adoption of a special re-
port of the credentials committee.
The report said Mahoney’s organiza-
tion the Farmer-Labor federation of
Minnesota was entitled to representa-
tion. but that he by his actions at
the St. Louis sessions of the conference
last February and his promotion of
the Juno 17 convention at St. Paul
had made him obnoxious to this or-
ganization.
WAIT ON DEMOCRATS.
R. D. Cramer. Minneapolis brought
out by query that the committee had
rot acted on the credentials from the
South Dakota Farmer-Labor party
presented by Miss Alice Txirraino
Daly who was a secretary of the St.
Paul convention.
Postponement of a vice presidential
nomination was agreed unon by lead-
ers of the conference. The conven-
tion will be asked it wns learned to
entrust selection of such n candidate
to n committee which would confer
with Senator LaFollette after the
Democratic situation has worked it-
self out.
