It was Just 12:31 when McComhs stepped
to tho spenkcr'B rostrum and smnshed down
the gacl calling tho convention to order.
The national chairman, whoso work four
years ago made the clcctlpn of President
Wilson possible and who was now retiring
voluntarily from that post, was given a
warm reception by the assembled delegates.
He spoke In part as follows:
"Ladles and Gentlemen of tho Conven
tion: Wo are In an atmosphtro of victory.
We have no feeling of guess, but a spirit
of certainty. We meet to colcbrato tho
great achievements of tho Democratic party
since It came Into power, and to placo a
milestone upon tho path of its futuro suc
cess, "We have recently witnessed tho pain
ful spectacle of two great American parties
at Chicago putting self In place of Ideals;
elf-glorlficatlon In place of national honor;
republicanism, and progresslvism so called,
in place ofour only 'Ism' Americanism.
"We have witnessed tho drab spectacle of
two groups of men. trading principles llko
competitors In a fish market. In tho hope
that come compromlso would win public
support. They .have not como together
they have fallen.out over tho1 'swag.'

"The Democratic party, in the fnco of

Undaunted by Judgo Thompson's adverse
deelslon In tho Martin and Jtowan cases,
United States District Attorney Knno be
gan trial today In tho case of Dr. William
B. Ilolcomb, hecusod of-selllng drugs with
out a Government order. Thla prosecution
Is along linos different from, those ruled
upon adversely to tho Government, and tho
District Attorney Is hopeful of a convic
tion. In Instances' similar to those of Mar
tin and Itowan, the District Attornoy will
probably enter rccoras or noiio prosequi.
Before opening the trial of Doctor Hol
comb tho District Attornoy today asked
Judge Thompson to invite Judge Dickin
son, his' colleague on mo uisinci iourt
bench, to sit with him In the next drug
peddling case. Mr. Kano was In tho hope
that a conference on tho Judges' combined
views might favor the Government conten
tions. Judgo Thompson took a brief re
cess while he conferred with Judge Dickin
son, but on reconvening court said that tho
Judges could Bee no reason why both of
them should bo present nt the same trial,
but that each caso would bo tried -on Its
own merits.
"If lludge Thompson's ruling in the Mar
tin and novvan caBes holds good," Bald Ml
Kane today, "the Government will bo un
able to reach illicit dealers, peddlers and
'men higher up.' Tho decision of Judgo
Thompson is of vast Importance both to
tho Government nnd to those under Indict
ment for violating tho Harrison law. The
more I think of the decision, tha more
serious tho situation seems to be, and I am
determined to fight every case to tho last
ditch."
MORE VIOLATION'S FEARED.
The decision of the United States Su
preme Court declaring Section 8 of the
Harrison narcotic act unconstitutional will
,,ni,v,ieHiv lend to a wider use of drugs
and an Increase In crime In this city, said
Captain of Detectives Tate today,
Captain "Tate said he has received In
formation' that cocaine, morphine and other
drugs were being carried on tho persons of
habitual uses of, drugs more freely than
ever before.
Section eight of the Harrison act made It
punishable to have dope on one's person.
The recent ruling of the United States Su
preme Court eat forth that Jt wasn't an
offense to have dope In possession, but was
punishable for any person found using It.
SEES CRIME WAVE.
'The decision the way It stands now,"
said Captain Tate, "after rollcall In the de
tective bureau today, "is the foul beginning
of moral leprosy. Tho decision means that
any cocaine peddler in the tenderloin, can
walk about tha streets. and sell his stuff
lo unfortunates without any fear of being
prosecuted. Should a peddler be arrested
and placed on trial, he can, through his

Japanese war ia now waging a
duel with General von Hindcnburg
in thq north sector of tho Tlussinn
front, while the Austrians njid
Russians aro fighting it out below.
While tho Austrians have been un
able to check the advance of Bruailoff'a
nrmico toward tho Galicia plains, it io -announced
that considerable masses of
German troops have bccn-Scnt from
tho northern half of tho eastern battle
lino to stiffen Austrian resistance
south of tho Pripct. Evidently this
shifting of German fighting units from
tha north disposes of thoi reported
German offensive on the Dvinn front to
rclicvq tho pressure the Russians are
exerting on tno Austrians.
If the Germans were in a position to
undertake such an offensive movement,
it would have 'been perhaps the best
antidote for the Russian sweeping
march on Lembcrg, on Czernowitz and
on Kovcl, but the Germans apparently j
have neither the troops for the drive
nor a strong point of support for their
extreme left wing, which cannot safely
rest on the wc3t of Riga.
Now, besides Lemberg and the wholo
Gnlicia linp, Koycl also is threatened
and, consequently, tho whole front to
Brest Litovsk and farther north.
Czernowitz has been cut off from tho
Austrian Galicia army and its evacu
ation may be expected hourly. Cer
tainly the arrival of German reinforce
ments in Galicia will hayo the effect of
somewhat slackening the Russian on
slaught. But it ia a question whether
it will arrest the Slavs. To what ex- .
tent could tho Germans weaken their
lines north of the Pripet in order to
reinforce the Austrian without run
ning.tho risk of being driven by a sud
den onrush of Kuropatkin's forces?
