WOMEN HAVE SPECIAL TRAIN. New York Suffragists Go to Friseo Convention In Style. New York, June 1.—Led by Mrs John Sherwln Crosby, called "the Mother of New York ^omen demo crats,", a special train carrying fifty four women delegates and alternates to the National Democratic Conven tion in San FYancisco, will depart from New York, June 19. This will be the first expedition of its kind in the United States. Many of the women will be accompanied by their husbands, ohlldren or other relatives. The party will be augmented by delegates from other states at var ious points en route to Chicago and, after the convention, the numbm will visit Pike's Peak, Colorado 8prtngs, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, Riverside, Hollywood and Los Angeles and the Catalipa Islands. The return home will be by way of the Canadian Rockies, reaching .New York on the evening of July 11. The delegates-at-large from New York are Elisabeth Marbury and Harriet May Mills and the, alter nates-at-large are Mrs. Maurice Con nolly, of Corona. I* 1., and Mrs. Nel lie Hewitt, of Carthage, N. Y- Mrs. -Crosby organized the first Woman'* Democratic Club in the United States in 1004. it was located here and subsequently, in 1912, she founded the Woman's National Dem ocratlle League. Two years later she established a New YorK State branch of the national body. Mrs. Crosby says she cherishes no illusions as to what women, in their first actual participation in a national, .political convention, will be able to 'accom plish. She said, however, she and most of the other women delegates —they will constitute more than 300 of the 1,028 in the gathering—have certain ideaus which w^ll be discussed at a caucus before the convention assembles end that they will be sub mitted to the platform committee in the form of resolutions. Some of these ideas, Mrs Crosby Said, were government ownership of oil wells, and coal mines, railroad8 and other public utilities a modifi cation of the prohibition enforce ment act to permit the manufacture. and sale of "light wines and beer" a plank to make it a felony to profiteer In necessities higher pay for postal employes advocacy of the Sheppard Towner "maternity bill," providing for government care for every ex pectant' mother and her child and making it unlawful for anyone to employ a woman in that condition more rigid child labor laws shorter hours for working women, 12,000,000 or whom are now said to be in in dustries and professions more equitable taxation and the stimula tion of building and other industrial enterprises by the removal of re strictive burdeiis.

It was a bad night in London, not wild or turbulent, but swathed to the eyes like an eastern woman in a soft gTey garment of fog. It engulfed the walled canyons of the city, thru which the traffic had roared all day, plugged up the maze of dark side streets, and blotted out the open squares. Close to the ground it was thick, viscous, impenetrable, so that one could not see a yard ahead, and walked ghostlike, adventuring into a strange world. Occasionally it dispersed. In front of the Jollity Theater numbers of arc lights wrought a wavering mist hung yellow space, into which acon Htunt line of vehicles, like monstrous shiny beetles, emerged from the outer nowhere, disgorged their contents, and were'eclipsed again. And pedes trians in gay processional streamed across the rudy glistening patch like figures on a slide. Conspicuous in the shifting throng waa a sharp-faced boy. ostensibly selling newspapers, but with a keen aye upon the arriving vehicles. Sud denly he darted to the curb, where an electric coupe had just drawn up. A man alighted heavily, and turned to assist a young woman. For an instant the lad's attention was deflected by the radiant vision. The girl, wrapped in a voluminous cloak of ivory color, was tall and slim, with soft white tMroat and graceful neck her eyes under shadowy lashes were a little narrow, but blue as autumn mist, and spark ling now with amusement. "Watch your steps, auntie," she warned laughingly, as a plimp, elderly, little lady stepped stiffly from the coupe. "These London fogs are dangerous." The boy stood staring at her, his feet as helpless as if they liad taken root to the ground. Suddenly he re membered his mission. His native Impudence reasserted itself, and he started forward. "Paper, sir?" 5 He addressed the man. For a mo ment it seemed as.tho he were to be rebuffed, then something in the boy's attitude changed his mind. As the man fumbled in an inner pocket for change, the lad took a swift Inventory. The face beneath the tall hat waa a powerful oval, paste-colored, with thin lips, and heavy lines from nostril to Jaw. The eyes Were close set and of a turbid grey. "Ife him,* the boy assured imself, and opened his mouth to speak. The girl laughed amusedly at the spectable of her companion's passion for news In thie grimy atmosphere, and turned to the young man in evening dress who had just dismiss ed his taxi and joined the group. It was the diversion the boy had prayed for. He took a quick step toward the older man. "T. B. S.,** he said, in a soft but distinct undertone. The man's face blanched suddenly, and a coin which he held in his large, white-gloved palm slipped jingling to the pavement. The young messenger stooped and caught it dexterously. "T. B, S.," he whispered again, In sistently. "Here?" the answer came hoarsely. The man's lips trembled. "Watchin* this theater—splits (de tectives) by the million," finished the boy promptly, and with satisfaction. Under cover ot returning the coin, he thrust a slip of white paper into the other's hand. Then he wheeled, ducked to the girl with a gay little swagger of Im pudence, threw a lightning glance of' scrutiny at her young escort, and turning, was lost in the throng. The Whole incident occupied less than a minute, and presently the four were seated in their box, and the gay BtrtUns from the overture of The Strand Girl came floating up to them. "I wish'I were a little street gamin in London," said the girl pensively, fingering the violets at her corsage. "Think of the adventures! Don't you, Frank?" Frank Doughton looked across at her with smiling significant eyes, wjhich brought a flush to her cheeks. "No," he said softly, "I do not!" The girl laughed at him and shrugged her round white shoulders. "For a young journalist, Frank, you are too obvious—too delightfully ver dant. You should study indirection, subtlety, finesse—study our mutual friend, Count Poltavo!" She meant it mischievously, and produced the effect she desired. At the name the young man's brow darkened. "He isn't coming here tonight?" Doughton asked, in aggrieved tones The girl nodded, her eyes dancing with laughter. "What can you see in that man, Doris?" he protested. "I'll bet you anything you like that the fellow's a rogue! A smooth, soft-smiling ras cal Lady Dlnsmore," he appealed to the elder woman, "do you like him?" "Oh, don't ask Aunt Patricia!" cried the gir^. "She thinks him quite the most fascinating man in London. Don't deny It, auntie!" "I shan't," said the lady, calmly,' "for It's true! Count Poltavo"—she paused, to inspect thru her lorgnette some newcomers in the opposite box, where she got just a glimpse of a grey dress in the misty depths of the box, the- whiteness of a gloved hand lying upon the box's edge—"Count1 Poltavo is the only interesting man in London. He is a genius." She shut her lorgnette with a snap. "It delights me to talk with him. He smiles and murmurs gay witticisms and quotes Talleyrand and Lucullus, and all the while, In the back of his head, quite out of reach, his real opinions of you are being tabulated and ranged neatly in a row like bot tles on a shelf." Doris nodded thoughtfully. "I'd like to take down some of those bottles," shg said. "Some day, perhaps, I shall." "They're probably labeled poison," 'ti- Tm/ri?.ff-Pir.iTTm Tr aim MADcuAtrTmi remarked Frank viciously. He looked at the girl with a growing sense of Injury. Of late she had seemed ab solutely changed towards him and from being his good friend, with established intimacies, she had turn ed before his very eyes into an alien, almost an enemy, more beautiful than ever, to be true, but perverse, mocking, impish. She flouted him for his youth, his bluntness, Is guile less transparency. But hardest of all to bear was the delicate derision with which she treated his awkward attempts to express his passion for her, to speak of the fever which had taken possession of him, almost against his will. And now, he re flected bitterly, with this velvet fop of a count looming up as a possible rival, with his savoir fair®, and bis absurd penchant for literature and art. what chance had he, a plain Briton, against such odds?—unless, as he profoundly believed, the chap was a crook. He determined to sound her guardian. "Mr. Farrington," he asked aloud, "what do you think—hallo!" He sprang up suddenly and thrust out a supporting: arm. Kurrington had risen, and stood swaying: slightly upon his feet. He Was frightfully pa]«i and his counte nance was contracted us if in pain. He lifted a wavering hand to his head. With a supreme effort he steadied himself. "Doris," he asked quickly, "1 meant to ask you—where did you leave Lady Constance?" The girl looked up In surprise. "I haven't seen her today—she went down to Great Bradley last night—didn't she, auntie?" The elder woman nodded. "Mannish, and not a little dis courteous I think," she said, "leaving her guests and motoring thru the fog to the country. I sometimes think Constance Dex is a trifle mad." "I wish I could share your views," said Farrington, grimly. He turned abruptly to Doughton. "Look after Doris," he said. "I have remembered—an engagement." He beckoned Frank, with a scarce ly perceptible gesture, and the two men passed out of the box "Have you discovered anything?" he asked, when they were outside. "About what?" asked Frank, inno cently. A grim smile broke the tense lines of Mr. Farrington's face. "Really!" he said, drily, "for a young man engaged in most impor tant investigations you are casual." "Oh?—the Tolllngton business," said the other. "No, Mr. Farrington, 1 have found nothing. I don't think It is my game really—investigating and discovering people. Tm a pretty good short story writer but a pretty rotten detective. Of course, it is aw fully kind of you $0 have giv^n me the Job—" :-s He 'glanoed at his watch. TIMES-REPUBLICAN, MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA, JUNE 2,1920. -V. "Don't talk nonsense," snapped the older roan. "It isn't kindness—it's self-interest. Somewhere In this country is th,e heir to the Tolllngton millions. I am one of thes trustee# to that estate aqd I am naturally keen on discovering the man who will re lieve me of my responsibility. There Is a hundred pounds awaiting the ln« individual who unearths this l^ir." 1 "There is one "other ifttng r^ant to speak to you about—and that Is Doris." They atood in the little corridor which ran at the back of the boxes, and Frank wondered why he had chosen this moment to discuss Buch urgent and intimate matters. He was grateful enough to the million aire for the commission he had given biro-—tho with the information ^to go upon, looking for the missing 'Tol llngton heir was analogous to seeking the proverbial needle—but grateful for the opportunity which even this association gave him for meeting Doris Gray, he was quite content to continue the search Indefinitely. 'You know my views," the other went on—he glanced at his watch again. 'T want Doris to marry you. She is a dear girl, the only human being in the world for whom I have any affection." His voice trembled, and none could doubt his sincerity. "Somehow I am getting nervous about things—that shooting which I witnessed the other night has made nie jumpy—go in and win." He offered a cold hand to the other, and Frank took it, then, with a little jerk of his head, and a mut tered "shan't be gone long," he pass ed into the. vestibule, and out into the foggy street. shrill whiBtle brought a taxi from the gloom. "The^Savoy," said Farrington. He sprang in, and the cab started with a jerk. A minute later he thrust his head from the window. "You may drop me here," he called. He descended and paid his fare. 'Til walk the rest, of the way," he re marked casually. "Bit thickish on foot tonight, sir," offered the driver respectfully. "Bet ter let me set you down at the ho tel." But his fare was already lost in the enveloping mist. Farrington wrapped his muffler closely about his chin, pulled down his hat to shadow his eyes, and hur ried along like a man with a set des tination. Presently he halted and signaled to another cab, crawling. along close to the curb. (To be continued.) AIR SERVICE PLANNED. Regular Trips to Be Made Between Fort Dodge and Des Moines.

Philadelphia^ June 2.—The Los An geles Athletic Club, of California, has obtained the services of Frederick A. Cady, for fifteen years a swimming coach in this city. It is his intention to take charge there in the near future. Among the well-known swimmers to whom he will pay special attention are Ludy Langer. Miss Dorothy Burns and Miss Alleen Allen. He is of the opin ion that they will represent the Unit ed States in the Olympics. Probably the best known of the three Is Lan ger, who is one of the best middle distance swimmers in the country and ranks next to Norman Ross. Lan&er recently sprung a surprise when he won the 500-yard title in Hawaii. Tie holds the outdoor record for one thousand yards. Cady started his career as a swim ming coach at the old Asher's pool here. He later took charge of the Central Y. M. C. A., where he devel oped such men as Edwin G. Schall", •Henry Scott and Edward C. Drurnm. Becoming affiliated with the Argo Swimming Club, he continued to bring mermen to the fore. He de veloped the late Ernest Sopp and Gil bert Tomlinson. both of whom made quite a stir in aquatic circles by their performances. At the present time he is coaching Mi*s Irene Guest and Mtss Gertrude Artelt, who hope to be among the swimmers who will represent the United States at Antwerp. Hawaii's Swimming Team. Honolulu, June 2.—Hawaii's swim ming stars to compete for places on the American team to go to the Ant werp Olympiad In all likelihood will be the following: Helen Moses, Duke Kahnnamoku, Pua Kealoha and War ren Ktaloha. If John Kelli, supposed to ^e In New York, can be located, he probably will be added to the list, while an effort will be made to have "Stubby". Kruger, formerly of Ha waii but now of St. Mary's College, Oakland, swim under the Island col ors. Helen Moses developed her swim ming ability at Hilo, on the Island of Hawaii, but recently moved to Honolulu, and now wears the colors of the Outrigger Club. She ls^ the only woman selected for the team by the A. A. U. committee here, Duke Kahanamoku is the sprint clutmplon of the world. He swam at the 1912 Olympiad at Stockholm. Pua Kealoha and Warren Kealoha are not brothers, altho they are team mates of the IXui Maknni (hui mean ing club), of Honolulu. Both jumped Into prominence at the swimming meet here last November, and im proved their performances at the re cent centennial meet. Bcith hold world's marks. John Kelli lefj," Haw9.il some time ago, and has been reported recently as working on the New York water front. He has given Duke Kahana moku some hard races In the 100 yard distance. Sweden Hat Many Entries. Antwerp, June 2.—Sweden will en ter athletes In practically every event of the seventh Olympiad In which America will be represented except golf, and perhaps boxing. Having already won, on points, the ice events which opened the Olympic program, Swedish athletes who were here for the hockey and skating contests have returned to Stockholm full of enthu siasm. The Swedes will send a strong team here for the shooting events July 24-81, and thereafter, ac cording to present plans, will send other representatives to compete in bicycling, athletics, tennis, wrestling, fencing, swimming, gymnastics, weight lifting, rowing, association football and equestrian games. Preliminary training for the (Swe dish team has begun. These ath letes will come to Antwerp probably aboard a chartered ship, arriving only two or three days before the begin ning of the games, thus avoiding, so far as possible, the necessity of train ing in Antwerp's rather humid cli mate. "We count on a clean sweep in gymnastics, our chances are good in bicycling and shooting, and we will be very strong in all the running races up to the half-mile, in the weights and in the jumps," one Swe dish athlete told the Associated Press correspondent. Chinese Tennis Expert. London. June 2.—During the. re cently- played covered courts cham pionship tpnnis tournament at the tiueen's Club here two Cambridge University undergraduates met In what proved to be a very interesting and strenuous match. One of them, S. C. Wu, is a Chinese 3tudent, and the other a young Australian named H. G. McCarthy, who was strangely reminiscent, both In appearance and playing methods., of the late Anthony Wilding. McCarthy had a good fore hand and fine first service, while "Wu, like all Oriental wielders of the rac quet is possessed of good wrist ac tion, timed )the ball well and placed it beautifully. The Australian won the first set, 6-2. but the Chinaman took the second pick as easily. Mc Carthy won the third set. 7-5. but Wu evened matters in the fourth, which he won, 5-4. Wu's playing thruout was very steady, but McCarthy made mapy mistakes, losing the final set and match to the oriental, 4-ti. Maytag Wins Doubles. Des Moines, June 2.—The double championship trophy of the state of Iowa went to L. B. Maytag, of New ton, yesterday at the shooting of that event at the state tournament. He scored 86 out of a possible 100. W. Wetleaf, of Nichols, was sec ond with -85. J. R. Jahn, of Long Grove, was third, scoring 84. Altho not eligible to compete for the trophy in the state doubles, Frank Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash., shot in the event and scored 98. Guy Lyman, of Fonda, won the state amateur singles, when he de feated S. H. Johnson, of Des Moines, in the shoot of score of 96. In the shoot off Lyman made 19 out of a possible 20. C. B. Meentz, of Ash kum, tdied with U. B. Maytag, Newton, for third place. Shooting in the state singles championship began today, and will be continued until Thursday after noon. yitjf 1 Live Sports News and Comment CHA^Pi9^ Good Managers Make Stars of Bashers Wilbert Robinson, of the Dodgers, is a firm believer In the stunt of giv ing a recruit just as much time ana advice as one can give, if they look promising. He tried the stunt with jpernie Neis, senational outfielder,, and as a result he has a classy young •ball player who might otherwise be doing duty in the sticks. Robinson fussed with Neis. The lad did not look so good when he joined the Dodgers, and his first days in training camp failed to impress any of the other members of the team. But "Uncle Wilbert" thought he could see something in the boy's work and immediately he took him in hand. The first thing he did was to teach Neis how to hit from both sides of the plate. The boy was glad to get the information and he did everything in his power to do just as he was told. When Robinson was giving him his instructions on how to bat it was declared to be a waste of time, but Robinson persisted. Major league ball players, as a rule, do not think much of the prac tice of some managers changing a youngster's style of batting, because they maintain-any change robs him of his natural Inclination and there fore is apt to work injury in his future success. But even the wis2 heads do not know. Robinson saw the result of training along this line directed on Walter Holke, now of the Braves, by John McGraw, and Holke Is a dependable and a dangerous sticker at any time. It was Mike Donlin who changed Holke's style of batting, but It was John McGraw who gave the lad his post graduate course and got him to give up his menacing crouch while at the plate. McGraw made this change in the youngster in the face of information that Holke had pounded his way to fame in the smaller leagues. Robinson says many young ball players are lost to the majors every year because the managers haven't time to give them individual atten tion. He thinks the result of his work with Neis justifies a manager .In giving all his time to the recruits1 while on the training trip. There is little doubt but that Neis is one of the most valuable youngsters de veloped in recent seasons. Js SWIMMERS WIN NEW LAURELS, GO SURF RIDING WITH CROWN PRINCE WORD Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey and Miss Charlotte Boyle. Brooklyn, N. Y., May 29.—That the Hawaiian Islands are rightly termed the jewels of the Pacific, that It is a great life if one does not weaken, and that the Misses Charlotte Boyle and JSthelda Bleibtrey, the world's champion women swimmers, did more on their trip to Hawaii than win more national championships, can be gleaned from letters which the two Brooklyn girls have sent to frieuda and to their home club. Last winter the Metropolitan A. A. U. announced that it was going to send the two Brooklyn mermaids to the centenary in Honolulu on April" 12. So on Thursday, March 18, the twain set forth on their trip half way around the world.- Their drst stop was at Detroit, where 'both Miss Boyle and Miss Bleibtrey cleaned up in all events. From Detroit they went to Frisco, where they were to depart on a steamer to the Hawaiian. Islands. At Hawaii they competed in the races held there, made a brief ac quaintance with island life and re turned to California. From Frisco the wandering Flatbush girls went across the bay to Oakland, swam In Oak land, and then went to Los Angeles. They cleaned up again in that town, and are now about to start for the east. Miss Boyle, writing from Los Angeles to one of Her sister members of the Women's Swimming Associa tion of New York, tells of her trip, and has this to say of her surf-rid ing experience at Honolulu with the prince of Wales: "After the excitement attendant to our arrival died, down, we had a rival upon the hospitality of the HawaiianB. After much firing of guns and hlp-hip-hoorahs and sing ing of 'Hands Across the Sea,' we found that the islanders were wel coming Edward Albert Patrick David, alias the prince of Wales.
