This was just one section of the senate Democratic relief program, the remainder. involving a $500,000,000 bond issue for public works and a expansion of the reconstruction units capital, being left for later consideration. $1,000,-000,00- FRANKLIN ROOSEVELTS 0 support-- P the Dem- ers, having decided to run ocratic national convention to snlt themselves, announced that Jouett Shouse wouldnt do as permanent chairman, though he had been selected by the faction aDd presumably had been accepted b y Roosevelt. They declared Instead that they would try to put Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana In that position, which he held eight, years Smith-Rasko- b ago. Mr. Shouse, how- ever, made It known that he and his friends would fight to the last ditch, so there Is a prospect of a first-dabattle In the convention that will provide for a test of strength between the forces. Roosevelt and Mr. Shouse said that Governor Roosevelt expressly consented to the plan to make him permanent chairman. Not even remotely was any kind of condition attached to the governors assent; otherwise I should not have been a party to It, said he. Any speech I may make before the convention will be my own and will not be censored or Inspired by any candidate.

The report of the committee makes It necessary for the governor to decide whether or not the mayor shall be removed from office, and it Is believed he will take some action a day or so before the Democratic convention meets. Presumably, If he ousts the mayor he will rouse the wrath of Tammany Hall which might cost him the vote of New York In the election but undoubtedly would add to bis strength elsewhere, for Tammany Is not admired outside of the metropolis. Governor Roosevelt made a strategic move when he demanded that Seabury quit talking and submit to bim the charges and evidence against Walker at oDee. He let it be known that he would give the mayor unlimited opportunity to defend himself and his administration, but said he would demand that Walker prove himself fit to be mayor of New York. Walker engaged Dudley Field Malone as his chief counsel.

As a matter of fact, the reds who rled to stir the veterans op to violence were roughly treated by tbe ex soldiers. The marchers carried many American flags and had three bands. Swarms of police were on hand but had little to do. The paraders broke raDks at the Peace monument and returned to the various camps established for them. Every day the number of veterans In those camps was augmented by arrivals from all parts of the country. Senator Lewis of Illinois haa a run-i- n with the bonus seekers and came off with flying colors. They resented his Memorial day reproof to them and threatened to tell him where be got off, whereupon the courtly senator calmly told them to "go to hell and walked through them to the senate chamber. IOWA Republicans at last have weary of Senator Smith D. Brookhart and have put an end, at least for the present, to hts political career. In the primaries they decisively rejected him, selecting as his successor Henry Field of Shenandoah, a nurseryman and a novice in politics who owns a radio station. Field had been making a vigorous speaking campaign In which he attacked Brookhart especially for neglect-n g his senatorial duties to make Chautauqua lectures and for nepotism. He pledged himself not to take any of his family to Washington and fasten them on the federal grown 1 pay rolls. Brookhart, a radical who never has hesitated to vote against Republican measures, refused to comment on his defeat, which was attributed by some observers partly to the fact that many voters hlthero Republicans had deserted that party and cast their ballots as Democrats. The Democratic senatorial nominee was Louis Murphy, who defeated former Senator Daniel Steck. In North Carolina the Democrats turned against one ot their long-tim- e leaders. Senator Cameron Morrison, who was defeated fot the nomination by Robert R. Reynolds, almost a newcomer in politics. Morrison Is bone dry and Reynolds Is an advocate of prohibition repeaL Neither of them had a majority of votes cast, so both will be candidates again In the runoff primary on July 2. Two others who polled a considerable vote promised to throw their support to Reynolds. Franklin Roosevelt won a sweeping victory in the Florida Democratic primary, "Alfalfa Bill Murray getting only a small vote. Mark Wilcox of West Palm Beach, running on an antiprohibition platform, apparently defeated Ruth Bryan Owen for the congressional nomination In the Fourth district conservative at Madison nominated a ticket with the purpose of putting a crimp In the regime of the La Follette dynasty. John B. Chappie of Ashland was put up for the United States senate In opposition to Senator Blaine; and former Gov. Walter J. Kohler was nominated for governor to run against Gov.

La Raviere proved It. lie boarded the Olympic in New York 15 hours before the vessel sailed, made himself comfortable, traveled to Southampton, landed, tramped to London, and was going for a walk with two newly found girl friends In Drury Lane some time later before the police called him to account. Then he was fined $10 or given one month In Wormwood Scrubs prison for the offense of entering England Illegally. Afterwards lie restored himself to the trust of the officials and spent a month doing the tower, houses of parliament, Westminster abbey, Kew gardens, and other points of Interest. La Raviere was even given a police registration card such as all Americans and other foreigners who stay in England any length of time must have. It all sounds easy as he explains it. lie walked up the Olympic gangplank, stored his luggage la the crews quarters, and went for a walk. He came back at eight, got his bag, and picked out an unoccupied third-clas- s stateroom. Mattresses and other unused bedding were stored In the room, and out of these he built a screen to shield himself from the door. Then he made his bed behind and turned In for the night. When he woke up next morning he was at sea. La Raviere stayed In his stateroom until evening, when he grew hungry. So he changed his clothes and went on deck. Then he learned that the night crew was about to be fed, so he dashed back and got Into his seamans clothing In time to follow the crew In to supper. He helped himself and nobody asked any questions. lie mnde this quick change twice a day for seven days, lie ate lunch with the day crew and at night he fed with a different watch. Nobody suspected. The rest of the time he lolled In deck chairs and mingled with the passengers. La Raviere meant to debark at Cherbebourg, but found this impossible card necessary the cause of landing to board the tender. So he went on to Southampton and was unlucky enough to arrive there In mid afternoon. ne saw two gangplanks taken aboard, one for the passengers and 300-Year-O- ld Bean Sprouts in Museum San Antonio, Texas.

Mayor Myron M.

Numbers 5 and 6 connecting rod bearings were burned out but otherwise the motor was In perfect condition. The fluid used In conditioning the car for the test Is a concentrated extract, which when Introduced Into a motor with the regular oil and with the gasoline, penetrates the pores of the metal and then forms a thin film over the outer surface of the hearings. This provides not only a surface on the metul, but a built-isupply underneath which, when released by frictional heat due to an inadequate amount or total absence of oil, furnishes the neeessary lubrication until Its own reserve has been drawn out of the pores and exhausted. 111. dry-run- 11-In- ch Pen Yan, N.

Dis- As excavations for the construction of an American monument were being made on the peak of Montafucon, In the Argonne, the foundations of an old fortress built there by Godefroy de Bouillon In 1070 were discovered. The American monument Is to commemorate the 1,512 soldiers of the United States army who were killed there In September, 1918, when the position was taken from the Germans. The old fort Is said to have been destroyed and reconstructed In the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries and finally burned with the village during the Thirty Years war by the Swedes. Godefroy de Bouillon was a yonng vassal of Emperor Henry IV, from e whom he received the title of of death the at of Anvers Godefroy-le-Bossu- .

Although the constitution of the second Spanish republic Is silent on the subject, and the new criminal code has not yet been drawn up, the death penalty his gone out of vogue In this country. Recently, the minister of Justice, Don Alvaro de Albornoi, announced the commutation of the death penalty to life Imprisonment of a man who had killed the wife of a dairy owner, nnd their baby. The Cortes Constltuyentes, a few weeks ago, refused to take Into consideration a bill proposed by a deputy belonging to the radical party, which would provide the death penalty for all robbers who engaged In holdups. The bill was proposed on the day when a hank In Madrid was held up and robbed of $4,000, but It was promptly hooted down by the Socialists nnd Radical Socialist deputies.
