Ths demonstration was over at 11:5 and Governor Brough of Arkansas , mounted to the rostrum to second Own s nomination. , : Brough declared that Arkansas, ! the only stats mentioned In the Bible, wanted Owen for president. t "The Bible says that Noah looked out of the ark and saw," declared Brough. The Quip got' across. And there were shouts of laughter and giggles from floor And galleries. Ths governor asserted that Owen embodied all the best'oualities of Washington. Lincoln-. McKlnley, Taft and numerous other statesmen of boh parties. His wit roused the delegates more than Unebeugh's logic . Brough's voice was rapidly dwindling to a mere husk as he neared his con clusion. But his pep was undiminished - and he held his hearers well in hand as' he reached his peroration. As Brough left the rostrum he was given a j full-: , lunged cheer from the floor. The crowd apparently like him and his speech- WOMAS ALSO SEC03U Mrs. Susan F, Fitzgerald of Massaehu-' , setts took the platform to second i the nomination of the Oklahoma senator.

The band broke into "The Star Spangled Banner"- and the crowd rose- to its feet. The Connecticut dele gates called for three cheers for Cum mlnga, in which the floor Joined. ; Mrs. ; Force i Parker of - California seconded Cummlnga' nomination. Mrs. Parker spoke only one mlnste and the brevity of her remarks made a tremend ous hit with the crowd, which yelled. "That's the stuff, keep it short," The Connecticut, men then tried to star a Cummings' demonstration by climbing on their chairs and started three more cheers for their candidate, but the cheering did not last lohg. Ira C. Rothgerber of Colorado made the second Cummings supporting speech. , Rothgerber also- was considerate of the wishes of his audienoe . and confined his speech to a few brief remarks.

" i Swinging into his speech, Shallenber ger declared his talk would be brief And to the point Gray of head, determined of mien, holding his spectacles In one hand and occasionally flourishing them for emphasis, he declared the party must stand or fall on Wilson's record and that Hitchcock Is the man to carry on his policies. i Shallenberger spoke Briefly." feuKwlth good effect. v i -. -v-;. - The roll call then was continued.

BldELOW IS PUGICACIOtS . V : Biapiow was bj? far, the most pugna cious ot the speakers to appear thus far. He shook his head in vigorous eftiphasts and flailed the air at" times with short arm Jabs and haymaker swings. Many remarked on his resemblance to the man he was placing in nomination. He looked much like a pocket ediUon of the attorney general. As, Bigelow progressed In his speech he became more emphatic and more en thusiastic. t. The Palmer men on the floor grew more and more eager, to get into "action, and finally at ,the end Of one of Bigelows ringing periods,' leaped to their feet with a cheer, raising Palmer pennants. The outbreak was short-lived, however, and the, delegates sotj,n settled Into their seats and Bigelow resumed his eulogy of the .attorney general. Delegate halts speech - A delegate standing near the Montana delegation suddenly leaped to his feet and angrily demanded of Bigelow whether he would answer a question. Thera were shouts of "throw him out" from the floor. The delegate refused to be baited and waved his arms, shouting loudly for recognition from the chair. Chalftnan Robinson demanded that the delegate take his seat. The delegate be came angrier and refused to yield. Sev eral seargents-at-arms rushed to his side and expostulated with htm.

E. Jooephi and Dr. J. FvGal- treath, pronounced Milton Bchwartx insane, his malady being diagnosed. m dementia parecox. He was. pa roled by Judge Taswell to the care of W. T; Metzger, a relative, who was given strict Injunction to keep him confined In private sanitarium. ShOuld Metxger allow him to leave the' institution or find himself unable to control Sch warts, the court order is that SCh warts be sent to a state insti tution without further ado. . BAXISHED FROM KEW TOBK Sch warts is the man whom the courts of New - York "banished" to Oregon rather than commit to a New York asy lum, though he had been twice found to have attacked ttttl girls. When Governor Olcott learned Tuesday night that Schwartz had actually arrived in Portland and had been here for some time, ; presumably ' with the knowledge of the county authorities,, he boarded a train and personally led a raid to the "Mountain "vy lew- sanitarium, where Schwarts was found long after midnight. District Attorney Evans was with the party and a warrant had -been issued by Judge Taawell on formal complain, of a deputy - sheriff, The man spent the night in the' county Jail and was given the alienists'., examination during the forenoon. ' Schwarts appeared to take his Incar ceration with stolidity and unconcern. "Are you married? hi was asked. ' . "Oh. yes." he replied. . "Several times." Prior J to the examination, Schwartz talked .. freely, but in a , most rambling fashion. He remembered dimly that he had been under arrest in New York. His version of the doings there was, however, that he had been "arrested for chasing little girls when I really was only play ing baseball with them." He explained that he had' sertt the girls home In taxicabs" and that after ward hs "was taken to jail in a taxi cab." "I supposed they wanted me to prac tice law in the Jail," he said in explana tion of, the reason for his arrest. GBADL'ATES I3f LAW - Schwarts said he had come to Oregon first in ltot and had studied law at the University of Oregon law school, having a certificate to practice signed by Judge Gantenbeln. While practicing in the city courts,! hs said, he had a nervous break down and went east after atime to enter- a f "metaphysical ' school." In 7 the meantime he said he had taken up Chris tian Science. "; Suddenly swerving his talk, he declared both .warring factions of the Christian Scientists should break up and form an entirely new church. Again changing his theme, Schwarts longed for a life on a "plow farm" where he could quit the struggle for existence. Then he declared he hoped to get back to New YorkV dabble in theatrical stocks on Wall street and take a trip around the world, later to resume his ' meta physical studies. - DEFEXPS CLASSMATE V Allan McCurtain, who appeared as at torney for Schwarts and who had been a classmate of. the. young man 'when they were attending the law school of the University of Oregon,- stated after the examination that he was familiar with the events that transpired in New York, and that while the court found young. Schwarts mentally :: incompetent. It. did not find that he had committed any assault on little girls. i ' Ha said the young man's mental con dition i was that of a child, and that Schwarts enjoyed playing with the chil dren ; that he played ball with the girls and ran after them in the game, and that it was an instance of this kind that caused the complaint made by Charles Johnson Post, a. newspaper man and son of Louis Post.; assistant" secretary - of labor. McCurtain says Post beat up Bohwarts and that charges were made against the young man so that Post would not be required to face a charge of assault. : NEW YORK GOVERNOR ASKED TO TAKE SCHWARTZ BACK Salem, June 30.

MOO'S FOES WORK - HARD JOJEAT : ( Continued Front Pass Onal to make him an active, candidate. He has again asked Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City not to put his name in nom ination before the convention He has appealed to other friends to intercede with Dr. Jenkins and persuade him not to make any nominating speech and the chances are that this second appeal will prevail and the name of McAdoo - will after all not be placed In nomination: Of course anybody can be voted for whether or not his name-1 formally presented. Consider the wisdom of the move to keep Dr. Jenkins from making the nom inating speech. " There are those who have insisted that it affords a splendid opportunity for oratorical salesmanship, that the points in McAdoo's record ought te be recalled to the minds of delegates and that it was the splendid marshalling of facts and, arguments by Governor Willis in his nominating speech which had so much to dc with the final selec tion of Senator Harding at Chicago. But oa the other hand,- McAdoo is In an en tirely different position. He Taas Insisted that he doesn't waut-the nomination and hat telegraphed his friends here to de sist In their sctivity for him. ACTIYITY FOB M'ADOO y Some delegates " have ' taken all - this with a grain of salt, for they have no ticed a persistence of campaigning' for McAdoo. But the only formal thing which : is done for a " candidate In the convention Itself is the nominating and seconding speech. To permit the same to be done without protest is to consent to being made a candidate. McAdoo made his protest to Dr. Jenkins but without changing the latter's determina tion. . Nevertheless on . account of ;th close friendship between the Kansas City editor and McAdoo, . has been as serted here that the former secretary of the treasury eould persuade Jenkins if he really tried. ... - So McAdoo is trying. And he has made so many appeals to friends, here that unquestionably' his wish will bej complied ' with. Another . thing, ,. suppose " McAdoo doesn't win the nomination here. Some of his friends believe that If his name Is presented formally along - with the" other candidates, - he will never be able to erase the impression that he Bought the nomination. Hoover's sad experi ence, after he had insisted that he waa not a candidate is being mentioned as a case In point. But back of it all la the feeling that If this convention wants McAdoo, It knows where he stands and it knows that he would accept If drafted.
