May the clouds which have darkened our skies pass away .and the muttering thunder of discontent be heard no more forever. - And when our work is done bring us home to thy self in heaven, we humbly ask in Jesus' name."

Do you want a poll of your delega tion?" he asked or tne Kansas ueie- s-ate. "Yes." shouted Delegate urt. Call the roll of the delegates.

After the announcement of tne result of the fifth ballot. Chairman james recognised a motion to take a recess until :30 tonight. He announced that aa tonla-ht's session would be the eighth and as tickets to the convention had only eight coupons, the final coupon would be recognised tor aamn w succeeding sessions. There was a chorus Of disapproval when the motion to adjourn was put, but James declared it carried. The con vention adjourned at 7:18 until 1:30 tonight. Expectation Keen at Mght. . A general understanding that spread throughout the city to the effect that nomination would be made before the djournment of tonight's session of th lerles long before the regular hour of the calling of the convention. The heat was even worse than during last night's sessions and the delegates, in addition to discarding their coats, stripped off their collars. The Wilson forces asserted con fidently that the consistent gains shown by Wilson on the first five bar lots Indicated a strength that grad ually would increase as the balloting continued. The Clark forces, on the other hand. claimed enough delegates pledged to prolong, the deadlock indefinitely, if Wilson gains continued. Gradually the disorder subsided and Rev. George F. Dudley, of Washington, offered prayer. He concluded amid ap plause. Cries of "Good, good," came from the delegates, weary with the long sessions. Galleries Are Admonished. Chairman James announced an im material correction in the result of the fifth ballot. Be then adomlnshed the galleries for hissing and applauding votes and' at 8:48 directed the calling of the roll for the sixth ballot. C N. Malcu, an Oklahoma alternate, tried to move to suspend the two-thirds rule and nominate by a majority vote. A chorus of disapproval greeted the movement and Chairman James quickly sustained a point of order against It. The roll call then proceeded, the first change coming in Michigan, where Kern and Wilson each lost one to Har mon. A hush of expectation settled over the hall when New York was called, but Charles F. Murphy rose, and, as usual, announced: "New York easts 90 votes for Harmon." In North Carolina Wilson lost one to Underwood. Harmon lost one in Ohio. It went to Bryan, who was thus re stored to the roll. By this time It be came apparent that there would be no nomination on the sixth Ballot. In Tennessee, which cast its vote dif ferently on each ballot, Wilson gained four and Clark two. All of the six came from the Harmon column. At the end of the roll Nebraska corrected her vote, giving Wilson four, Clark 12, a gain of one for Wilson. The total of the ballots showed little change front the preceding vote. The SIDELIGHTS ON CONVENTION ALTTMORE, June 38. (Special.) A snake story not that kind or snake story is going the rounds of the Chicago men In Baltt more and so far has not failed to a-athar a lauirh. "Steve" Griffin, chief deputy of the Board of Review in Chi cago, and George McConnell, State Raorasentatlve. are at the bottom of tha atorv. which is as follows: Stave and George were supping last night In an outlying Inn. Steve called over one of the colored waiters. 'Boy, lis'en," he said, impressively. "I am 'Alfalfa Steve,' delegate Irom Oklahoma, and my friend is 'Sage brush' George, my alternate. That made an impression. "How would you like to earn 86 for about 15 minutes' work tomorrow morning?" continued "Alfalfa Steve." The answer waa as effusive as obvi ous. The colored man agreea w ap pear this morning at the hotel where 'Alfalfa . Steve ana -ssageorusn George are staying. He did. "Boas, ah'm the boy you spoke to about that sofe piece ob change," he announced when Steve answered the knock at the door. "You and Mistun -Bagenrusn- Gawge." "An, yes." said Steve pleasantly. "My Oklahoma pets need washing. I want you to bathe them. They're as One a pair of Oklahoma snakes t" There was a wild shriek and the waiter disappeared.

Mr. Hopkins, be it remembered, thinks about as highly of Mayor .Harrison as he does of a snake. IF the convention audience temporar ily forgot Its misery and rose tc give a yell Just to keep up a semblance of plcturesqueness there was a rip ping, buzz-saw sound as each skirt and pair of trousers separated Itself unwillingly from the fondly clinging seats of the highly varnished camp chairs. ILL STAPP, National committee man, of Galena, Kan, wore a cos tume that shall be described in detail as elebaroate as that used In depicting a society leader's satin and diamonds. In the first place. Bill wore a Prince" Albert, he wore a silk hat and 'mouse colored trousers that weighed about 43 pounds, and the newest thing in wing collars and a bright red necktie and gray gloves and patent leather shoes, and wait a minute a vest with a white pique veatee, his entire ton nage and displacement being about 100 tons. And Bill Stapp kept all those clothes on all during the convention. BAND in front of the Belvidere was playing "Nearer, My God, to Thee" with church chimes accompani- ament- Farther up the street another band was stepping along briskly to the tune of "Ob, Mr. Dream Man. Please Let Me Dream Some More," but Balti more refuses to be shaken from its customary calm. It sits on Its fre quently scrubbed white stone steps and fans Itself and watches the crowd go by watches and, like Mme. de Farge, says nothing. . n Feminine Judgment 'Waa That Tailor Had Not Done Artistic Work on Clothing Judge Says ' Club- Must Pay Bill. SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. (Spa- ciaL) F. W. Von -Schroder's faith in women Juries will probably be shaken when he learns that for the second time Superior Judge Hunt today over ruled the verdict of the women that he should not be compelled to pay 369 to his tailors, the W. L. Crowall Com pany, for a suit that was not of "ar tistic construction." Von Schrader is away on his honey moon trip. Through his attorneys to day be asked for a new trial of his case, but the motion was denied. Sev eral weeks ago Judge Hunt overturned the verdict of the women s Jury and ordered that Von Schrader pay. the tailor bill In addition to the costs of the action. When the San Francisco clubman first brought suit, he asked that it be tried before a Jury of women. Justice of the Peace Creighton granted the petition and summoned a Jury of which Mrs. Adella F. Lelghton was foreman. By a vote of 10 to 2 this Jury decided that the gray sack suit in question was of inartistic construction and that it did not fit. The Jurywomen said Von Schrader should not be foiced to pay for It. But the tailoring firm dis agreed with the women and took an appeal to the Superior court, where Judge Hunt overruled the verdict oi the women. - REBEL LEADER KILLED GENERAL ESTENOZ' DEAD BODY EXHIBITED IN CUBA.
