When the results of the fourth ballot nt Chicago were In yesterday, showing General Wood in the lend with !U4Vs YotM and Governor Sproul with 71t'4 votes, there was no word from Sena tor Penrose. Many guesses were made by the' politicians who visited the house. Home thought he would throw hi in fluence at the right moment to Knox, others guessed Harding. As n matter of fact, those who know refuse to dis cuss the matter. Samuel Dm bar. one of Senator Pen rose's secretaries, arrived from Chi cago yesterday and ut ouco had n con ference with the senator. This is taken to indicate that the hour for the coup is approaching, and the senator had sum moned Mr. Dunbar to give him tllrec .tions'he did not care to intrust to the telegraph or telephone wires. It was declared by Lelghton C. Tay lor, chief sccietary to the senator, how ever, that thy visit of Mr. Dunbar had no special significance, that it was u personal matter altogether. Big Tide for Harding; His yictory Forecast Continual from Pare One Mr. Herrick were on the Coliseum plat form denying they wanted a recess, the convention stood in the greatest con fusion. Chairman Lodge finally induced the delegates to take their seats. The Harding-representatives were apparently iFOtisfled, for they agreed to the recess. The motion for a recess was made by Mr. Hcrt. of Kentucky, a Lowden manager. While there were cries of "No, no!" the motion wn seconded from Pennsylvania and California. By casting eight ballots without a nominee being selected the convention surpassed the long-distance record of the convention of 1SSS which nominated Harrison.

Warren, former nationnl committeeman from Michi gan, was conferring wltn tlic isew York delegation and Lowden accession!) were expected. Michigan's ballot br it stood on the eighth was 10 for Johnson, 13 for Wood and 7 for Lowden. There was little change in New York's ballot. There were disctiRMom of a re cess until 4 o'clock, and it was under stood that Ohio, enthusiastic with the steady accessions of votes for Harding was not disposed to let the convention stop. Four of the Wood votes went back to Harding on the ballot restoring his original thirty-nine. Wyoming cait her entire six votes for Harding on the eighth. That took three from Wood and three from Low den. The all-night conferences among leaders had put Senator Harding, of Ohio, at the head of the dark horse group. All night long nnd early this morn ing the heads of various groups were conferring and tho trend of most of tlie conferences seemed to be to find some way to turn Wood and Lowden strength to Harding. The leaders, worn and sleepless, were late in reaching the convention hall, hut the delegates, with their interest raised to fever heat, came early, hoping to see the thing finished that they might get away for home today. Urge Harding-Johnson Ticket To Insure strong re-enforcements from thnt direction, some leaders urged dur ing the night conferences that a ticket of Hurtling for President nnd Johnson for Vice President be put forward. There was nothing to indicate that Senator Johnson would consent. Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts, also was mentioned ns a possible run ning mate for Harding should Senator Johnson elect to give his support but I not his name to the ticket. Hither of these courses would main- tain the veto power over convention uctlon. which has been claimed for the California senator from the beginning. General Wood Acts (ieneral Wood was Informed of tho new move. He brought his managers together during the night and they de termined to stick by their guns. Former Senator Murray Crane was advised early of the plan. He was noncommittal and seemed inclined to await developments. Arguments used by backers of the compromise were that Harding had a good lecord. was not Involved materially iti the senatorial campaign expenditures Inquiry and hud the confidence of con servative and progressive interests. Negotiations between faction leaders followed separato group councils. They culminated in the call of Senator Hard ing, upon Senator Johnson. 0.

June 12. There isn't much use trying to get John C. Koons, first assistant postmaster general, en thused over politics these dnys for he has n much more important problem to solve. Just as If the multitudinous duties in his department and the hot wenthcr were not enough Merritt O. Chance, Washington's postmaster, has stepped up to the counter and tnlmply asked if babies can be mailed by parcel post. Mr. Chance wants nn official ruling he can pass nlong when patrons ask If Mary, aged two, can be iveighed, stnmped nnd forwarded to Ettumwah, Iowa, or Tusealoo's. Ala. It was hard to believe such requests were numerous enough to merit official attention, but Mr. Chance says that two he received In the last week convinced him. The postal manual says that day old chicks can be mailed if unaccompanied by the mother hen and that combustibles are prohibited, but there is nothing in the rules covering infants. On tlic face of the law if n child does not weigh more thnn fifty pounds nnd does not exceed eighty -four inches In length nnd girth, there is no reason why mother should not lick the stamps on the baby and put it in the mailbox.

HOltAII With Ills lighting face, at the Coli seum In Chicago Refuses to Support Either of Two Leading Candidates if Johnson Fails READY TO CRY 'CORRUPTION' ChlcaRo, .7tine 12. 3enator Borah, of Idaho, one of Senator Johnson's most ardent supporters, announced last night that he would not support cither Low den or Wood. "If either of them is nominated," he declared, "the Issue hefore the Ameri can people will not he on the platform of the party it will le on the issue of the corruption of the American people." Senator Borah fxpresped his views at a public meeting of Johnson delegates. "We have reached a time when it Is necessary to talk frankly, not only wltli reference to tho situation in the con vention here." Senator Borah said, "but also with referenco to whnt tho situation will be when wo leave hero with a candidate nominated aud our platform in our pocket. I'm not hero to gratify personal feeling for or against any candidate. Hints at Corruption Charge "From my standpoint tho interests of the Ilepublienn party nnd of this country arc superior to the right of any Individual to hold office. Our first object is to nominate Hiram Johnson, because he holds the conCdcucc of the American people. "I do not pretend to say there arc no other men in the party but John son who can be elected." ,he declared, "but I do say the two leading candi dates now before the convention cannot obtain hundreds of thousands of Re publican votes. "If Cither of thpso tn-n lenrllnr- mh. dldates is nominnlorl Mm icenn win un the corruption of the electorate. There is no way to avoid tho issue. This can- not be blotted out or excused. I can take the records of these two men and they are on file offiriallv in Wnshlni.. ton read them to an audience and leave it to them if these men should go into the election. Suggests Heckling Wood Men "Suppose I go into thnt convention tomorrow and ask from the rostrum for Sir. Wood's representations lo stand up and tell us what that nomination has cost? A dozen voices from tho audi ence told him to "go to it." "SlinnOSe I should ask tho nrner gentlemen to stand up," he continued, "and ak how much they have bid against Wood for the presidenev. Borne was in precisely that situation before its end." "I have been a Republican all my life. I even stayed with .Mr. Taft in 1012, and that's going some. I am willing to suppoit no wnny clean man, nnd I will not support any man who is not clean." It was declared nositivelv. howerer. that undei no circumstances would Johnson make a deal with either Wood or l-owuen. "The statement of Senator Borah in regard to his attitude toward Wood and I.owden can be taken virtually ver batim as the attitude of Johnson.'" ono of Senator Johnson's advisers said. Party Managers at Last Pick Harding (fly CLINTON IV. GlI.nKRT) Continued from rune One Wood. The wisest of them exnect the nomination of Harding in the end. But thev hope out of the inevitable con fusion and the breakdown of rival forces that a sudden movement of votes to their own candidate may defeat the hopes of the senutors nnd result in Lowdcn's nomination. The impatience of the delegates and their desiro to get away may cause accidents to happen and tho plans of senatorial managers to go askew. It was impossible to work out in tho con ferences of last night nny detailed means of putting Harding over. The general strategy is clear and tho promoters of Harding nro reasonably confident, but the situation is still in tractable At best there are likely to bo a number of ballots nnd many ma neuvers before any definite step toward Harding's nomination is possible. And in so confused a situation anything may happen. FOR NEW GERMAN CABINET Chancellor Mueller 8eeks Aid of Independent Socialists London, Juno 1U.

Deputy Coroner Continues the Probe of Fatal Salts and Oxalic Acid Dose TO BURY VICTIM MONDAY Determined to get at the bottom of the mystery in connection with the death of Mrs. Rose McCusker, who died after drinking n mixture of Epsom salts and oxalic acid, Arthur Sellers, chief deputy coroner, will continue an inves tigation of the case until it has been learned who was responsible for placing the poison in the drug. Mrs. McCuskcr died at her home, 2124 North Chad wiek street, Wednesday. In addition to detectives of the coro ner's office others of the City Hall squad hnve been assigned to the case. As Mrs. McCuskor's home life was said to be very happy Deputy Coroner Sellers does not believe the woman herself placed the poison in the package. Analyses of tho supplies of salts at tho drug store where it was purchased nnd also of tho wholesale drug house from which it originally came has failed to show any traces of an oxalic acid mixture. Mr. Sellers says ho is convinced bv investigations made so for that the error in mixing the drugs was not made nt the wholesale house or the drug store Tho funernl of Mrs. McCusker wili take place Monday.

FEI Believes Slack Period at Hand, but No Near Slump in Com modity Prices PACKING TRADE IMPROVES Chicago, June 12. C. II. Hulbiird, of Hulbiird, Wnrreu & Chandler, president of the Elgin Watch Co. and one of the best forecasters in tho West, says to tho PtinLio LEDana: "The business situation domestically is ex tremely critical and I think we have entered n period of depression, nltliough I do not expect nny slump in prices of essential commodities for n long time. The stock market has been liquidated as much as it should be. but nobody can tell whnt effect business depression will have. "Some big concern might get over extended nnd unable to overpome credit stringency in tlmo to save itself, but barring some such unexpected develop ment I presume wo will run nlong in definitely, certainly into the winter, when ronl shortage might compel exten sive industrlnl curtailment. There could bo a great deal of unemployment without actual cutting of wage unit, but thnt would logically follow heavy imports and immigration. Europe is coming back fuster than we realize. My friends who hove been over there re cently all, tell me so. Robert Thome, of Montgomery Ward & Co., says France is progressing with surprising rapidity. Germnny's recovering may be equally surprising. Some Luxury Lines Itackward "How long will the depression lost and how bad it will be? That depends largely on when we really get it. If it should come upon us now in full force it would not be io bod or lat more than two or three years, whereas, if wo con tinue inflating that long we can havo very serious experience for. ninny yenra thereafter In any event, thn railroads are not able now to carry their load, money is tight everywhere and labor's attitude is not improving, while crop prospects nre only fair. Prices of staples hold well because the country is ricb and lavish. "Some luxury lines, like diamonds, arc backward. Silk prices broke for reusons best known in Japan. Demand for watches has not declined. Our sales exceed thoso of a year ngo, by 20 per cent. Our prices since 1014 have advanced only 40 per cent, while our production increased 00 per cent, nnd our labor and other costs nearly SO per cent. Without profiteering, we hnve more than half our margin of profits. Chidngo merchants, back from the Illinois Retail Merchants' Association's meeting in East St. Louis, expect price declines all along the line. The as sociation passed resolutions requesting the government to adopt a constructive program for elimination of unneces sary handling in distribution, resales within tlic same group, speculative in terference by outsiders nnd other un necessary costs. Marshall Field & Co. report whole sale dry goods distribution still much nbovc a year ago and collections good, but road sales less and fewer visiting' customers. Packers Report Improvement. Armour & Co. says: "Business con ditions in the packing industry general ly show marked improvement this week, primarily attributed to better transportation. Collections nre fnirly food. The beef trade is influenced by ight receipts and increase in demand throughout the country. Dcmnnd for fresh pork is normal for the season npd shipments go forward readily. Much warmer weather Iibr added impetus to the provision trade in general, especial ly hams and other sugar-cured smoked meats. Export trade continues to bo ruled entirely by foreign exchange, which show very little improvement." Diminishing weight nnd deterforating quullty of hog arrivals Indicnte that accumulations from the winter crop have been pretty well cleaned up. A smaller summer run thnn a year ngo is expected. Fat grass goats have been arriviug in Knusns City for several weeks from Texus and New Mexico. More tran 200.000 goats and kids arc going into ment consumption domestic aly each year, mostly disguised ns mut ton and lamb.

Gap3 ia the ranks of industrial and farm work, ers in South Jersey arc being filled by the "second lino ot defense," reprc. seuted by the thousands of school dill, dren who are now being released from tho classrooms by the closing of the schools for the summer. A large pro portion of those in tho higher grados of the grammar schools nnd most all of the older boys nnd girls in the high schools nre eager for employment. Even without the stimulus of a patri. otic incentive such as existed diirlnr the war, the percentage of school boji nnd cirls who turn their school . Hon to some practical account is ex-1 pecteu to ue larger taan when the war was on. The demand for labor, cmw. dally In tlic rural districts, is greater than during waftlmcs nnd the wagcg paid aro proving an attraction to tlios" willing to work. In Gloucester .county hundreds of boys nnd girls are working in the strawberry patches or' cherry orchards picking fruit.
