last night, organised with W. D. Jamie
son of Iowa, chairman and Huso Asher
of California, secretary, and -started in to

by H. II. Dean of Gainesville. They
-declared ' that Georgia law gave Palmer
the right to send a delegation to the'
convention, as he had polled a plurality
over both. Smith and Watson in the pri
mary. .
Dean drew, many laughs from the
committee by comparing., the ease to a

Time to . Strike
For Dry Issue
' San Francisco. June 29. (I. N. 8.)
Piqued at not being selected as a mem
ber of the sub-committee of the resolu
tions committee to draft the , proposed
Democratic platform, William J. Bryan,
it was learned today, has decided hot
to present his dry plank at the hearing
of the liquor question scheduled for to
day's meeting of ; the committee.
Mr. Bryan, fit was learned, has de
cided to wait until the draft of the plat
form is brought out by the sub-committee
before he starts to make his fight
for a ... dry plank. - Under the - circum
stances there probably will be no prelim
inary hearing on the liquor question as
the leaders of the "wets announced that
they would make no move until Mr.
Bryan submits his" proposed plank.

RIGHT TO USEHAME
' Some side lights on the shoe busi

answer, filed today, fin the suit of
George L. Greenfield, ? of Wright's
Sample Shoe Shop; against Paul and
Charles M. Tleburg," under he name
of Tleburg's'shoe Service. Green
field's' suit is to prevent the Tle
burgs, who now occupy a location
in Portland -;that "the Wright Sam
ple Shoe;fetore had for - five years,
from using- the '"Wright' signs' on
thefr store, and 'also from display
ing on .signs that the "business has
been established for 30 years.
' In the answer, the ' Tiebergs ; admit
using the signs, but declare that for a
long time they have handled the E. T.
Wright shoes and that they have been

stores In San Francisco, ; Oakland
and Fresno, arid now have two stores in
Portland which handle the Wright shoes.-
, They declare that the - plaintiff "does
not 'come into court with elean hands,"
as . the trade name of Wright's Sample
Shoe Shop creates in the minds of the
public- the impression - that : the store's
chief business is in sample shoes that
are purchased 'from traveling men after
having- been used as samples in selling
goods ; that the '- shoes are bought at a
reduced price and therefore , sold td the
public at a corresponding reduction.
I The,Tieburgs set forth that "it is the
custom of t manufacturers in making
sample shoes to make them of compara
tively few sizes, iwhich, are fixed,"; and
that - because of this fact the "sample"
shoes -which are handled by retail shoe
merchants do not exceed 5. per cent of
the shoe sales of any particular retail
store. .; , ..: . , - " i

: All the.commRtees had completed their
reports and adjourned, with, the excep
tion of the resolutions committee, which
was still in the preliminary stages of
the platform.
Plaintive and romantic melodies from -band
and pipe organ soothed the. dele
gates as they came In.;
- There was a marked perking up when
the last tones of the great organ grad
ually" throbbed and dwindled away. and
the brass band crashed Into .'Three
Cheers for the Red. White and Blue"
and "Yankee Doodle." - T
Five minutes before the-official hour
of opening : the lights were turned on,
simultaneously - with a burst of "Dixie",
from the bandsmen, and the usual cheer
ing ensued. '
GELLERIES FILLIXG UP :
v,Ttu : galleries appeared to be flHing
up a bit faster than yesterday, s There
were several bare patches in the : gal

safe-deposit ; vault with a time Jock

A mysterious newspaper made Its ap
pearance : on ' the floor with the title
"Convention News" and the heading in
red type "Palmer for - President." A
copy was placed on every delegate's
seat. , "
One o'clock, ' the hour of opening,
passed with nd sign of. a. start being
imminent.
A few of ficias arrived on the platform
shortly after 1 o'clock. Bishop Nichols
of San Francisco was there, ready to. de
liver , the opening prayer. George V.

was bustling around. - - c
TELLS FOB PALMER . .
' The Palmeiites resumed their college
yells in behalf of the attorney-general.
Several delegates came-on the floor with
big flags tucked under their, arms, evi
dently- set for.isome .kind of excitement.
Former Senator 'James Hamilton . Lewis
might have been seen about this time
workins his way through the crowd and
I: was rumored extensively that he. was
engaged in helping along his vice-presi

For the third time "Dixie was called
into play. Again it worked. '. . M
More signs of life were manifested by
the Cox delegates, who appeared India-:
posed to let the Palmer boosters r stop
the show" as they did- yesterday with
their organized yells and songs.

The . big blue and gold Cox banner,
which reposed unnoticed fh a shadowy
corner during the opening session, was
brought out where-it could be' seen And
hoisted on high. . ' - v -
.At :1 5 word "came down from the
third floor, where the resolutions com

question toad Just been brought up and
it looked as if the committee would be
tied tup for another hour. There was a
possibility that . the session might go
ahead In the absence of the resolutions
committee' members. ' : .i ' "
The quartet up in the bandstand car
ried the crowd back to the new days
of 1918 with "Where Do We Go. From
Here" and other war songs.- --
As the. song eeased a lanky redheaded
youth jumped up on a seat back under
the gallery and emitted a shout. . In im

111 OREGON SOCIAL
WORKERS' MEETING
- "Many of us do not feel that the
Child Welfare Commission has made
good,' but that the great field of ac
tivity "which lies before it has been
allowed to lie fallow; you have the
power, now we would like to have
you -give an account of your stewardship-"
1
- This was the bomb exploded by
Dr. George Rebec at the conference
of the Oregon Sociaf Workers' as
sociation held this morning at Cen
tral library. '
'It was a session devoted to the work J
of the child welfare commission with
Mrs. Dora B. Schilke of La Grande, a
member of the commission, n presiding.
The only other member Of the Ajommls
sion present was Dr. Franklin Thomas,
chairman of the, commission, who pre
faced his scheduled address by interest
ing admissions and -comments on Dr.
Rebec's challenge, in this way: , ;
BLASE IS DISTRIBUTED
"Although ''1 have been a member of
the commission but a short time X must
admit it. hasn't made good, but neither
has the ' public and neither have " the
child caring institutions: The -work of
the commission has been lost on account
of the introduction of personalities. We
will never get down to our real sphere
of usefulness until personalities .'are
banished. These personalities have been
injected both by the commission mem
bers and by the public r We have had
trouble in securing the cooperation of
the institutions.: we have wanted infor
mation which they would not give us,
so you see the fault is not altogether
one sided. I do want to say; that re
cently we have gotten together with
the boards of management of some of
the institutions and -have found that we
are not as far apart as. we thought.
CHILD PLACI5G DISCUSSED , "
Dr. Thomas then spoke on better child
placing. "Child placing and home find
ing is the most difficult in the whole
field of social work," ; he said. . "The
The Goodrich Adjustment 'Basis t Silvertown
Proper, placing , and supervision of chil
dren is not a cheap proceeding and that
it be done in the most efficient manner
the state should pay the same amount
to an institution for a cbild placed out
as for one kept under the roof of that
institution. Children In good homes are
better off ; than in the . best institution,
but children in bad homes are worse off
than when left in the. worst Institutions.
Institutions should be only for the fee
ble minded or for the child who is ab
solutely unplacable. i . . ' ,
Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, a member of
the commission, spoke briefly on . the
standards already adopted and seconded
In strong terms all that Dr. Thomas had
said about the value- of placing children
in homes. She said every Institution
erected' in Oregon for the care of the
normal child is a blot upon the' state.
HOSPITALS ARE DISCUSSEH
Argument for the standardisation ef
the hospitals was presented by the -Rev.
Georgre. Thompson, pastor of the Made
line church in Irvlngton.c Father Thomp
son declared closer hospital supervision
and better records are needed ; that
while many physicians and surgeons do
not need supervision, a vast number do.
"Many small hospitals throughout the
country, are . hotbeds of : quackery," he
said. Some of the doctors .want this
supervision, but they don't ' like to ap
pear in the light ofreformJng their pro
fessional brothers, so it is up to us to
create sentiment for establishment of
some commission or committee of suf
ficient authority to bring up all of our
hospitals to a proper tandard,i elim
inating: the pernicious practice : of fee
Splitting, lack . of pathological service
and a failure to keep proper records."-; .
This afternoon ? social work and the
school will be discussed by a number of
speakers and this evening the foreign
born population of the state will be dis
cussed. ' - The nominating : committee of
which Mrs. Saidie Orr-Dunbar is chair
man made its report this mornings and
theelection of 16 directors will take
place this, afternoon. The conference
will continue over Wednesday with a
luncheon at the Hotel Oregon. "
