On the second ballot the vote was unchanged except for the Cummings vote going to Governor Smith and the Gerard vote to Owens. and the wheels of justice began to rotate slowly. The defense refused to use any testimony. The prosecu tion argued a document introduced, that stated arsenic had been found In the viscera of Decker. The de fense objected on the grounds of In competency. A long argument pro and con en sued before the judge, who gazed out of the window and swatted malicious ly at some flies with a blotter. "The evidence is accepted," he an nounced. "I ask that this woman be bound over to the circuit court," concluded the prosecution in its final argument. "The prisoner is bound over with out bond," announced the judge. "Hold . on!" shouted Ben Neal. "Aren't we going to have the oppor tunity of showing why she should have bond in order to enable her to prepare her defense?" "You can make some speeches if you want to, but you can't change my views," replied the judge. "Any way, it's almost lunch time." The arguments were advanced by the defense, but the judge stood pat. "Clear out! The morning session's over," announced the sheriff. The crowd filed out of the court room. Many, unable to get through the crowd, had used a ladder to get on the roof. The ladder had been removed during the case and a shout went up from those who found them selves marooned on the slanting tin covered structure. Finally someone found the ladder and the spectators were enabled to land safely. The ladles' church guild sold out their stock shortly afterward. In the afternoon King Bruce was arraigned. The little courtroom was like an oven in full blast. The prose cuting attorney discarded his coat; the sheriff rapped for order, and the case began. The testimony was a mere repetition of the morning ses sion. The judge worked in perfect harmony with the prosecution and Bruce was bound over without bond. He was taken to the little stone jail followed by a crowd of women and men. The defendant gazed in wonder at the curious, shook hands with sev eral and remarked: "Pretty nigh supper time, ain't it, sheriff?" Kansas City Times.

It was quite an Informal gathering, the crowd that attended the preliminary hearing of King Bruce and Mrs. C. E. Decker here. In a little stuffy, box-like room the crowd gathered. They stood shoulder to shoulder, packed like a "boss" meeting before opening time. The overflow extended into the hall, down the stairs and into the court yrd. Many of the men looked as if they had left their plows a few minutes before. Children whined peevishly and snapped the suspenders of their fathers. They crowded in side the judge's railing, leaned over the dust-covered attorneys' tables and made it a nice social gathering. The ladles' guild of one of the churches eold lunches, balloons and other fete day mementoes. The crowd wanted to know every move of the trial, and Incidentally accepted it as sort of a homecoming. They shouted facetious ly to neighbors across the courtroom, cocked their feet on the attorneys' tables, and In a short time the floor was spewed with amber - colored splotches. "Some crowd," commented Thomas Mead, judge, when he cocked his knees against the judicial bench. "See that those kids don't knock down that stovepipe," and he brushed "his bald head nervously. "Look here, you people got to keep still if you want to hear anything," shouted Sheriff Wynes as he rapped for order with his knife. "Anybody seen Joe Smith, judge?" shouted a voice in the audience. "Mr. Smith is looking for his son. Anybody eeen him?" announced the sheriff. The youngster shouted that he was safe in the corner, and the case started. Mrs. Decker, wearing a heavy veil, preceded by her attorneys, Ben M. Ncal and O. O. Brown., who made a flying wedge to enable her to get through the crowd, took her seat in side the judge's railing.' The stuffy little courtroom buzzed with comment, mostly from the wom en, who composed two-thirds of the audience. "Folks, you got to kep still in here. The attorneys want to get to work," again warned the sheriff, as the crowd standing in the court yard, unable to get inside the building, began to honk motor car horns. "Where's the stenographer?" asked one of the attorneys. "By George, that's right. Where is the stenographer? inquired the judge. Someone In the crowd volunteered the information that the stenographer was unable to get into the room. "See that she gets in; we can't start this until she's here." said the court. After another delay the deputies managed to crowd the girl through the packed aisles. "I'm not used to this kind of work," she explained. You'll have to go Blow." "All right." assented the attorneys. "Court's started!" formally an nounced the sheriff. "Is Mr. Odell here?" asked S. K. Osburn. prosecuting attorney. A pause ensued; then a loud voice from the audience shouted: "I saw him over to the bank, this morning. Shirley." "Go out and find him," ordered the prosecutor. "Is Julia Palmer here, then?" asked the attorney. No response. "She ought to be here: she's a wit ness" announced the prosecutor.

Miss Leah Leaska, dra matic soprano, formerly of this city and now of New York city, won a pleasant triumph in concert last night in the public auditorium. Her piano accompanist was J. R. Hutchison, who played with rare sympathy and in vested his keyboard work with sin cerity of tonal presentation that was remarkable for music beauty. Miss Leaska. who in private life is Miss Leah Cohen, born in this city, was cordially received by an audience numbering 735 people. Another factor that entered into the musical pleasure of the occasion was the superb playing of the Ampico re producing piano. It played by itself aa If directly by a living artistic pres ence, and played softly and tenderly, or stirred up a baby tempest as the expressions marked by the music score changed. It was actually an uncanny experience to come under the spell of those ghostly fingers at work somewhere on the white end black keys. Twice the duo piano played piano solos and afterward played fine accompaniments to four songs sung by Miss Leaska. It was a nerve-trying task that Miss Leaska set herself to accomplish, to sing as an artist to a home audience, but she did this with satisfaction. For her hard work, her perseverance in the proper preparation of such a splendid programme, she deserves great credit. Miss Leaska is remembered in this city for the steady improvement she has made since the days when she was a young, untried singer. She graduated from temple choir and concert to New York city, where she now emerges in maturity. In 1920 she sings with fine vocal finish that is pleasant to hear, and she displays excellent, distinct, story-telling dic tion. She lives the scenes she de picts in her songs, and by voice and facial expressions conveys what her songs say to her audiences. She is an Oregon song queen worth hearing. Miss Leaska sang last night in Yid dish, Italian, French and English. Her best sung numbers, for impressive dramatic effect, were "Ritorna Vinci tor, from Aida; "Eli. Eli" (Schindler), and "Cry of Rachel" (Salter). A favorite song that made a deep im pression on the audience was the late Tom Dobson's "The Rivals." The pro gramme was sung as printed, except that in place of Fourdrain's "Le Pa pillon," Miss Leaska sang "My Man agerie" (Fay Foster). s SAN FRANCISCO, July 3. (Spe cial.) If there is to be any such thing as prediction, we must frankly take into account the fact that most of the convention strategy, as re spects candidates, is based on the assumption that President Wilson has a right to expect and may indeed actually expect the nomination himself. Nobody here expects that Wilson will get it, but of this aspect more later. All the more important candi dacies are being managed with this fact, and all the conditions which must arise from this fact, in mind. The way this condition will work out- involves some difficulty of state ment, but if venturing Into the field of prediction at all, this is the only sound .approach to it. First, from the point of view of Wilson. If it were not for his illness and the consequences of his illness, he would have reason to expect the nomination, and there could be no doubt whatever that he would get it. It is nothing whatever but his health that stands between Wilson and the nomination. Session Friendly to 'Wilson. In its every act this convention Is overwhelmingly friendly and defer ential to Wilson, and the convention would carry that friendliness and deference, in spite of minor inharmo nious elements, all the way to the point of nominating him by acclama tion, but for that one impediment the state of his health now and since last September and the consequences that flow from his health. President Wilson would be fully justified in expecting the nomination but for hi health, and it is not at all unreason able for him to expect it now, if his own notion of the present and prob able future state of his health differs fiom the notion held by the public ana retiected In the convention. irora the point of view of the leaders and friends and associates of Mr. W Ilson here, thev feel bound to take It for granted that Mr. Wil son has a right to expect the nomi nation if he thinks his health is equal to it. that assumption has colored all their acts here and for months past. Wilnoo Also Is Silent. They know perfectly well that the public notion of Mr. Wilson's health prevents his getting the nomination. but they know equally well that Mr. Wilson may have a different view and has a right to think that he has more accurate knowledge of his health than the public has. The con sequence is that in all their relations with Mr. Wilson they have never ventured to ask him for his Judgment about the nomination, for the reason that the mere asking of the question would imply expressing their Judg ment that he himself could not have Mr. Wilson, on his side, has- never expressed any opinion or intention about the presidency nor alluded to it in any way. He has always confined his conversations strictly to the plat form. For this silence Mr. Wilson may have had many motives of deli cacy, because of himself, because of Mr. McAdoo or otherwise. But the net of it is that now and heretofore the friends of Mr. Wilson here and their loyalty to him is unimpeacha ble have never seemed to feel free to get aggressively behind any other candidate. Nor can they feel free until after the first ballot. The first ballot was sufficient notice to every body that Mr. Wilson had but a cour teous handful of delegates and that his nomination was out of the question.

And imagine it having 8000 negro porters, carrying a stock of linen valued at $2,000,000 and using some $60,000 worth of soap annually. Such is the Pullman company, with head quarters in Chicago, as typified by the cars in the service. "Selling goods to 6,000,000 custom ers a year, handling 100,000 orders a day in ordinary times, and in rush times nearly twice as many, nothing but the most phenomenal system woirld stand the strain that the mail order business of the world's great est mail-order house involves.

The block bounded by Wabash, Washington, State and Ran dolph streets is a big one how big may be gathered from the statement that the basement salesroom of this institution covers four acres of ground, while the main aisle on the main floor of the establishment is nearly 400 feet long. "And yet the structure covering that block, 13 stories high, with four basements below, is unable to accom modate that vast retail business built up by the merchant prince of the middle west; so across Washington street there is a second building, big enough in itself for a princely bust ness, housing a man's department store. "imagine a retail business that re quires 46 acres of floor space, yet of such high class that more than 60 running miles of carpet are laid down to maintain the quiet elegance of the establishment. Fancy an army of shoppers so numerous that 77 passen ger elevators are sadly overworked when high-water mark is reached and a volume of purchases that re quires 16 big freight lifts . to han dle it." 0 a w m 0 7f.

Chicago is the subject of a bulletin from the Na tional Geographic society, based on a communication from William Joseph Showalter, as follows: "Geography made Chicago. Its posi tion at the foot of the great lakes resulted in its evolution as the farthest inland terminus of naviga tion of the inland seas. Made wnat it is by the processes of geography, Chicago soon returned the compliment by helping geography transform other regions. Its slaugh tering and packing industry has changed the center of gravity of the meat-producing world. Its agricul tural implement industry has revised the economic status of more than half of the inhabitants' of the earth. Its sleeping-car industry has entirely revised the geography of travel, bringing hundreds of places separat ed by mountain and plain close to each other. "It is interesting to pause for a birdseye inventory of what the city is today. Fourth In population, it ranks first among the world's great urban centers In many ways. No other place butchers as much meat. makes as much machinery, builds as many cars, sells as much grain or handles as much lumber. "The Michigan-avenue improvement is a major feature of the now famous Chicago plan.' The beautiful high way, with its connecting arteries unites the north shore with the south side. For years this thoroughfare has been the pride of Chicago and the admiration of ail who visit the city, As a part of the Lake Shore drive that links the woods of southern Wis consin with the plains of northern Indiana, it is a magnificent street "To secure the full benefits of her situation the city is undertaking to connect her three great lakeside parks. Already Lincoln park has edged a narrow way southward along the beach until there is a wonderful curving stretch of green reaching to Grant avenue and making a four- mile parkway unbroken and un- marred. "The city annually spends $5,000, 000 for park purposes more per capita, perhaps, than any other city of the first order in existence. There is not a 'keep off the grass' in the entire park system, and all recrea tional facilities are free except the boats in the lagoons.

"Although the heart does not expand, at this age, in proportion to the bodily growth, and the amount of blood does not increase, our boys are urged to go in for races and foot ball and to overtax the heart in many ways."

The doctor admitted from the witness stand that he took and tore up some or the pamphlets which were being handed out by the women. Only two of the seven women who took issue with the doctor over the matter of the torn pamphlets ap peared on the witness stand, backed by a minister who brought about the physician's arrest, but he was found guilty. According to the court the doctor was not guilty of many of the charges in the complaint, such as being quarrelsome and of having made loud noises, but he was guilty of disturbing the peace of the seven women and the minister; therefore the $20 fine. According to the testimony given by the women and the minister the doctor took issue with them over the display and circulation of an anti-vivisection initiative petition at Sixth street and Broadway.
