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.

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.

Washington. June 12. There isn't

SENATOR W. U. 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.

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. Solemn requiem
mass will be celebrated nt 0 o'clock at
the Church of Our Lady of Mcrev
Broad street nnd Susquehanna avenue'
Interment will be in Holy Cross Cem

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.

Thousands of South Jersey
' School Children Making Big

GIRLS, TOO, TAKING PART
Glasshoro, N. J., June 12. 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. Many of them are mak
ing almost, the equivalent of men'.
wages by picking berries at the rate of
live cents a quart, -xno pea crop Is
now ripening, and this will make a
further demand for tho nimble-fingered
pickers, A Britlgcton cannery hnj
nsKeu ior nny Doys ana gips to work

there closing today.
Roys and girls must be at least six
teen years om or get woruing papers ia
order to work in tho industrial nlnnts
but that does not prevent hundreds of
tne younger ones irora gottmg healthy
and light employment in tho country.
The demand for their services will la
crease ns tho season advances and other
crops ripen, as many or the farmers
say that it will be impossible to secure
the gongs of foreigners from the cities
iu sufficient numbers this year to har
vest all the crops as was the custon
before tho war.
