...San Francisco, July I. The pros
pect for balloting late to-day for a
presidential candidate went glimmer
ing as the deleeates to the Democratic
national convention assembled for the
fourth duy's session. A long, bitter
fight over the league of nations lecln.
ration in which the supporters of Pres
ident Wilson 'were forced to accept an
amendment to the administration'
plank before it could be adopted, so
delayed the work of the platform com
mittee there is little likelihood the dele
pates will get down to balloting before
to-morrow.
Yesterday's whirlwind eight-hour
session having placed ten candidates
formally in nomination, only one
speech remained on the program to
be heard to-day, before the report of
the resolutions committee reporting
the party platform. It was the speech
by Governor Cornwell of West Vir
ginia, presenting the name of John W.
Davis, ambassador to ijreat Britain,
fox, MeAdoo, Palmer. Gerard, Hitch
rock, Cummings, Ed wards, Smith,
Meredith and Owen had been formal
ly placed before tlie. convention before
it recessed last evening to resume at
' 11 o'clock this morning.
i- rranKiy aomiuing mai .h-.vuof
seemed to have the inside track in the
race for the nomination, the inner c'.r
ele of old line Democratic leaders
worked through the night devising
means to stop his nomination and rind
candidate who could command the
necessary two-thirds vote.
("ham? Clark, former speaker of the
House of Representatives, who was de
nied the nomination at the Baltimore
convention after repeatedly having re
ceived a majority something unpre
cedented in Democratic party history
'! lie ing discussed by the old line
leaders as a possibility almtit whom
they might rally.
The answer of the MeAdoo people to
that move was that if an inner circle
combination forestalled the nomina
tion of the former secretary of the
treasury, there would lie disclosed an
other coalition which would produce a
Wilson-backed dark horse who could
make enough accessions to win. The
name of Homer S. Cummings, chairmin
of the Democratic .lational committee,
rtopped out whenver the administra
tion dark horse v.eie being lisei'scd.
The name of Vic '-President M.'.iV'mII
was generally linked with that -if
fhamp Clark whi-n ro.nhination candi
date to break the M-Adoo wave weie
being discussed among the old liner..
Managers for Cot and Palmer when
they figured in those discussions invar
inblv demanded to shown that t'nvr
candidates were o-it :f the rtinnin?.

town, O., the Cox field marshal. nid:
"This may lie a grasshopper minm
tion. but I haven't been informed cs
yet that any of the Cox delegate are
going to jump."
Nevertheless, the report pcri-ted
that there was some kind of u ider
tanding between the Cox and I'ulm.T
men and that the managers of the-e
candidates favored the notntir.u ion of
anyone rather than MeAdoo, and they
counted the New York and New Jer
sey delegation at sympathetic with
their iew.
While he maviivnng on the -an
didatea wa progressing, the all night
meeting of the resolutions committee
was wrestling with the party platform.
The framers hojvd to brire the pirty'
declaration of principle into to-day'
ep-in, dispose of the inevitable fitfht
on be prohibit inn plank and proceed
to,1h balloting for a nominee. The
convention all set for a battle
teval with Bryan in bis old time ride
as the sU-rm renter i lie continued to
insist on his determination to force
"a platform no wet ran run on."
One of the plans under consUerat-o'i
for the to-day's proceedings was to
get the platform out of the way. take
two or thier l-allots and then rfti-n
to Friday morning. No one roull 1-e
certam. bow-ver. of even gcttinc t!:e
resolution out of tle way to-day.
Claims of trength for the leailci
ranged al""it th way today:
Irreconcilable opponents .f Mc hv

wtbin votes of the necessary two
tiiiia and Uj'd they were mre
of accessions attracted bv their show
ing oi strength, which they were sure J
woiua Btimuiate a bana wagon move
ment. .
In contrast to this the opposition to
MeAdoo claimed Iu vote never would
exceed 450. It requires 728 to noiui
nate.
Talk on the presidential nominee, was
mixed with a current of discussion us
to the vice-president. Platform devel
opments undoubtedly will influence
that question, but discussion turned
toward picking a running mate for
MeAdoo should he be "drafted" for
service. v
The name of Joseph E. Davies, for
mer representative in Congress from
Wisconsin, and first chairman of the
federal trade commission, was sug
cested for a MeAdoo ticket, as was
that of Secretary Meredith.
The name of Victor Murdoek of Ne
braska, a leader in the progressive re
volt in Congress which opened the way
for Republican disaster in 191-2, ulso
bobbed up.
The discussion of second place with
MeAdoo continued to emphasize the
name of Governor A ox. At I ox head
quarters whispers that the Ohio gov
ernor was prepared to take a second
place nomination were resented:.
Another night oi manurovring ana
bidding for support among campaign
members promises to intervene before
the lialloting clarifies the situation
and sets at rest claims and counter
claims on the strength of the candi
dates.

was paid ?lt for transportation of the
liquor and was to allow it to lie taken

Cole was a liveryman and took a party

who were aorutomed to get liquor for
their own ue by such means. He ap

For Breaking the Immigration Laws-
Many Respondents.
Burlington, July 1. A large number
or cases tor violation of the lmmigra
tion laws were taken up in United
Slates court. yesterday -before vFudge
ITarland B. Howe. James Ford, inspect
or in charge of the Immigration sta
tion at JNewport, was present, and near
ly all the cases resulted from arrests
made in his jurisdiction and In' nearly
every case pleas of guilty were entered.
District Attorney V. A. BuJllard had
charge of the prosecution. With the
exception of one case, fines were admin
istered. Edward Corroty a Canadian,
was sentenced to 30 days in jail.
The first cases which were taken up
were those of .Joseph I haniberland and
his two sons Joseph, jr.. and Archille.
All three pleaded guilty to getting
n liens across the line at Worth Troy.
Each of the sons was fined f 150 and the
father $50. In October, Joseph, jr.,
went to their old homer in ( anada and
Rot an uncde, Sigfroi Landry, who is
a cripple, and unable to read and would
therefore not be admitted by law. He
also brought in another man, Antoine
Landry.
The system used was to bring the
two men by rail to a point near the
border in Canada. There they alighted
and got across the line, where the two
brothers met them and took them to
te.hir home Things went along nicely
until there was a family alternation
and the cripple was kicked out, as well
as the other man. The immigration of
ficers heard of the case and began pro
ceedings to deport them to Canada. The
Canadian officials would not allow the
cripple back into the country although
they accepted the able-bodied man.
Since last April the contest has been
on as to who should have the crippled
uncle, and meanwhile he has been a
public charge. He has been taken care
of in the jail at Newport Within the
past few day the Canadian govern
ment has come to the conclusion that
Sigfroi Landry, the uncle, belongs to
them, and he will be sent back to his
old home in Canada. The trio knew' the
law as they had previously endeavored
to get their relatives across the line by
lawful means and had failed They paid
the I3T0 fine exacted of them bv the
court.
Jules Leblanc was in court and plead
ed guilty to endeavoring to get his son,
Joseph, and another alien, Joseph Dubc,
into the United States The two had
previously been rejected. His scheme
was to drive them nearly to the line,
then they got out and under cover of
darkness, succeeded in getting into this
country. Leblane drove across the line
alone and was of course admitted with
out difficulty. 1-ater on he met the oth
er pair and drove them the remainder
of the way. Leblane was fined tlOO and
paid, but is out more than the $100 for
the reason that his horse, wagon and
some luggage were seized by the' feder
al officers when found with two aliens.
The outfit was put up at, public auc
tion, by the customs officials and Le
blanc was obliged to bid his own prop
erty in and paid $1H0 for it.
William Bombardier was the next
man tip. He pleaded guilty to endeavor
ing to get three aliens across the line
at North Troy by the favorite device
of letting them out, of his rig in Can
ada, near the line. They walked
across, then Bombardier met them and
as everything was going nicely, he wa
seized by the immigration officers. The
aliens w ere deported and (Bombardier,
who has been tinder bail since lat fall,
was sentenced to a fine of (lot) and a
day in jail
(iodfrev Riox of Becbe River, . H.,
fried a different ruse. He bad with him
Thcophile Lauxon, a young man. He
represented to the immigration officer
that the young man was his son and
was going to work for the Woodstock
Lumber company. This story was in
sisted on for half a day in the investi
gation before the board of immigra
tion inspectors in Newport, but the
officers finally learned that the story
was false and deported the young man
while Rioux was fini-d 5S."0. Rioux' de
fense was that he did not know the boy
vas to tell such a story, but after he
had done so. Rioux did not want to
put him in wrong by proving it false.
The immigration end of the busy day
in court closed with the arraignment of
three Canadians. Edward Coiron. J. La-
plant and J. Marcotte. They all lived
in Canada and couldn't get into the
I'nited States legally, because they
roil Id n't read or write. In some un
known manner Corron got into the
United States several months ago and a
while ago went back after his family.
There he ersuadcd his relatives. .Mar
cotte and Implant, to accompany him
back to the United States. They were
arrested and yesterday all pleaded
guilty. They were tine ."! each ami

:i0 days in jail.

NO PUNISHMENT
FOR DESPERADO
Barney, Escaped Convict,
Who Had Been Hiding in
Vermont, Back in Prison
AFTER FREEDOM
NEAR BRATTLEB0R0
Warden Shattuck Declares
Barney's Surrender
Voluntary
Boston, July ,1. Herman L. Barney,
the convict who gave hjiiiseif tip last
night, after .'10 days of freedom from
the state prison, from which he escaped
through a ventilator, will not be pun
ished for his escapade or for his part
in assisting two other long-term con
victs to freedom at the same time,
Warden Shattuck decided to-day. The
warden said Barney's surrender was
entirely voluntary, and for that reason
he would not bs punished.
The convict's story of his where
abouts during the past month, however,
was scouted, by the warden. Instead
of having worked on a Vermont farm
for his health, as he. stated, Warden
Shattuck said he was convinced that
Barney, lender of a group of automo
bile thieving gangsters in this city be
fore he killed a local policeman, had
not left metropolitan Boston until he
went to Vermont to surrender and to
divert suspicion from those who had
sheltered him. His hands, his clothes,
his weight and general appearance, the
warden said, belied the story of lifeon
a farm near Brattleboro.
Barney refused to name his employer
or to give the exact location of the
farm on which he said he worked.
The prisoner said it w as mere chance
which .took him to Brattleboro after
his escape: His flight from the state
prison, he said, was alone, both Harry
Manster, another slaver of a police
man, who is still at lasge, and Charles
Ward, a negro, who subsequently sur
rendered, having preceded him over the
wall bv 15 minutes.
Barney said he hiked over the tracks
of the Boston and Maine railroad from
the yard in the rear of the prison to
Lexington, without shoes, having lost
his in the escape. A friend there sup
plied him with another pair, be said. Me
jumped a freight at Littleton, dropped
off at Brattleboro and, after hiding in
the woods for a day, came out and
asked for a job, getting a place on a
farm.
Kxcept for the friend at Lexington,
Barney said he saw no one lie Knew,
nor anyone who suspected bis identity.
One one occasion, while he was sought
by police throughout New England,
with orders to thoot on sight, Barney
said he Joined an automobile party and
went from Brattleboro to Northamp

LOSS IS ESTIMATED
$100,000 TO $200,000
"V
One Hundred i Thrown
Out of V v Com
pany jig Orders
Northfif jly 1. Struck by light-
ning lasV5k ning, the , large 'granite
manufacturing plant of the N. Pelaggi
Granite Co. wa burned to the ground,
entailing a loss estimated anywhere V
from $100,00(1 to $200,000. and throwing
about one hundred men out of employ
ment. Insurance carried on the proper
ty and contents amounted to $80,750.
The fire was discovered at about 6
o'clock, a few minutes after a particu
larly vivid flash of Siglitning. Persona
in the vicinity of the railroad station,
near which the Pelaggi plant was lo
cated, remarked that the lightning
must have struuk not far away. Pres
ently smoke began pouring from all
parts of the big main shed, which
measured about 300 feet in length.
The fire alarm was rung in promptly
but when the firemen arived the flames
had made such progress that they were
enveloping almost the whole structure.
The firemen did good service and suc
ceeded in saving the Pelaggi Co.'s office
and in protecting other buildings in
close proximity, including the Central
Vermont freight station. It was not
possible to save the main building, al
though one charred end was standing
to-day.
The loss is the more severe at this
time because the Pelaggi company had
a great amount of finished stock on
hand ready for shipment, all of which
will probably be a total loss. Only
yesterday the company had three
freight cars set in to receive some of
this finished stock to-day. In addition
t the finished work, there was much
in process of manufacture and a large
quantity of rough stock. One of the
pieces of work destroyed was a big
mausoleum.
The lightning struck a transformer
just outside the building and went in
on the wires, spreading quickly.
The end of the derrick boom near
est the stone shed was burned but the
derrick itself was saved. Two traveling
cranes inside the plant are expected to
prove a total loss.
This ia the second serious fire loss
sustained by Mr. Pelaggi within a few
years. In the previous fire his stone
shed at Northfield was destroyed. Tho
Pelaggi Granite Co. has a large num
ber of orders on hand and. was working
with a large force of men to complete
the contracts. Mr Pelaggi stated to
day that he had not formulated his
plans but it seems likely that he will
continue in the granite business as the
firm is one of the best in this vicinity.
