Make Your Summer Shopping Pleas
ant and Profitable.
Do Your Purchasing Here.
It's almost as simple a matter as stepping across the street. You can get the
train at a convenient hour of the morning, and be taken almost to our doors before
noon. That gives you three hours in which to shop before the train leaves at a
quarter of three; or, if you prefer to spend a little more time in town, the 6:16 will
take you home in time for the evening meal. Could a railroad schedule be more
convenient?
We'll take care of the expense of the trip. On purchases of $10 we'll pay your
fare one way. Purchases of $20 or over mean that we pay for your round trip
ticket.
Can't we become better acquainted, Mrs. Housewife?

Straight Issue Between Con
servatives and Progressives
Baltimore, June 2.". The Demo
cratic national convention was called
to order shortly after the noon hour
today. The galleries of the great Fifth
Regiment armory were parked almost
to the straining point and people were
still pouring in when Chairman Mack
of the Democratic national committee
dropped his gavel. All the delegates
were not yet in thetr seats on the
floor.
When quiet had been sufficiently re
stored Secretary Vrey Woodson read
the convention call. Cardinal Gibbons
of the Roman Catholic church then
offered prayer. It was then Chairman
Mack's duty to announce the national
committee's selection for temporary
chairman of the convention. The chair
man said Judge Alton B. Parker, presi
dential candidate in 1904, was the com
mlttee's choice and the first fight of
the convention was precipitated.
Judge Parker's selection was rati
fled at a session of the national com
mlttee by a vote of 31 to 22. Ollie
James of Kentucky got 20 votes and
Judge O'Gorman of New York 2.
Later this afternoon a committee on
credentials, consisting of one member
from each state, will be appointed. Its
work will be almost perfunctory as
there are only a few contest?! seats,
committee on resolutions, which
will draft the platform, with a similar
representation, will be named. Bryan
will be named as the Nebraska repre
sentative on the resolutions committee
and as such will lead the fight for a
progressive declaration of principles
for the party.
The Democratic campaign Is seeth
Ing with excitement this morning over
the contest that the Commoner has
precipitated upon what promised to be
a notably harmonious meeting. Lines
are forming sharply between the radi
cals and conservatives in the party
and there Is certain to be bitter fight
ing which will knock into a cocked hat
all the plans that had been carefully
laid for pointing to the country the
spectacle of a sane and united
Democracy.
The anti-Bryan forces led by Charles
F. Murphy have made a careful can
vass of the delegates and declared
that they would elect Judge Parker by
at least a majority of 130. It was said
this morning that Bryan might run
against Parker. There was, however,
one serious objection to this. Colonel
Bryan will not be able to make a
speech In behalf of himself and in this
opening struggle lu which a nomina
tion of himself may be Involved he
desires to exert to the fullest extent
his well known oratorical power.
Bryan men, however, were absolute
ly confident of being able to defeat
Parker on the floor of the convention.
They were not as exacting in their
figures as the opposition but they said
they would control the convention by
a safe majority.
The hopes of the conservatives to
control the convention against Bryan
He chiefly now in the attitude of
Speaker Champ Clark. Mr. Clark un
doubtedly has it in his power to save
the day for Bryan, lie may also but
of this there is a good deal of doubt
have the power to throw enough' votes
to Parker to ee him through safely.
However the ultuntion is viewed,
though, Speaker Clark finds himself
between two fires. If be throws his
support to Bryan, he will, in the opin
ion of leaders, be committing political
suicide.
On the olher hand, if Mr. Clark
lines up fiinily lor Parker he will be
face to faca with a threatened revolt
Yi his own ranks, as many of Bryan's
friends are pmong the Clark delegates.
While the Clark boom has been hard
hll by recent developments a good
n any people were wondering what
Voodrow Wilson expected to get
through the stand that he has taken
at Bryan's side. The Wilson people,
however, are banking on the hope that
while the convention will hp controlled
by radicals It will demand spme
progressive other than Mr. Bryan.
There will be a bitter fight In favor
of the delegates instructed In the pri
maries and against the unit rule. Said
a New York delegate:
"The tactlc3 of the Harmon man
agers In regard to the delegates from
Ohio will not be tolerated. The voters
rejected nine of Harmon's delegates
at the polls and hfl must abide by the
result. We have In our organization
some deleg:ues instructed for Clarli
and some ur Wilson and they wH
vote for our randidutes as soon M
Clark and Wllaun are withdrawn."

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
From All Section of the Country
Com Fine Reports.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"Rarely are the reports from lead
ing trade centers in different sections
of the country so uniformly satis
factory. In most cases an actual
widening demand Is noted and In
others there are clear signs of prepara
tion for an active fall trade. The
weather is Ideally favorable both for
wholesale aud retail distribution of
merchandise and for the growing
crops.
"The gradual movement toward a
higher price basis In iron and steel
denotes unusual activity. In eastern
territory the situation reflects In
creased strength, with plpemakers
continuing steady buyers. The de
mand for basic materials Is taxing
capacity, and orders for structural
steel thus far received In June show
a substantial total."
VOTE FOR IMPEACHMENT
House Committee Finds Against Com
merce Judge Archbald.
The house judiciary committee
voted unanimously to recommend an
Impeachment proceeding against
Judge Archbald of the United States
commerce court.
The report of the committee will
not be reported to the house until

mittee Is unanimous It Is expected
that the house will concur in the re
port of the committee and draw up
specifications against Judge Archbald.
The senate will act as a court to
hear the impeachment case and the
concurrence of two-thirds of the mem
bers will be necessary. W. P. Boland
of Scranton, Pa., a coal operator,
charged Improper business transac
tions against the judge.

lengths to spare.
Harvard covered tho four mfles in
