GLASS, UNANIMOUS CHOICE OF CONVENTION, HEADS COM-* MITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS San Francisco, June 28.?By the unopposed choice of Senator Glass, of Virginia, as chairman of the resolutions committee, which will draft the rt-f the Democratic national \ convention and the selection of SenaM tor Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, ^ for permanent chairman of the convention, administration forces demonstrated tonight^ that they were in complete control of the convention machinery. Any planks which Wm. J. Bryan may desire to have inserted in the platform and which fail to pass approval of the resolutions committee, will therefore, have to be brought into the convention with the endorsement of only a minority report Senator Robinson is accounted a thorough going administration man and he will be wielding the gavel when any attackes are made on the administration program. These two developments, demonstrating the control of the administration forces, while not lessening the ~ ? ? . * m xl _ dUBCW of a Xignt on tne iioor 01 me convention, were pointed out by the administration forces as evidence that they had the convention in hand and in support of their predictions that they would carry it through to the end. Glass Heads Committee. Auditorium, San Francisco, June 29.?Senator Carter Glass, of VirU ginia, was unanimously elected chairW man of the committee on resolutions when the committee met for organization tonight There was no opposition. Senator Walsh, of Montana, seconded Senator Glass' nomination for the chairmanship. The first test of strength proved tiie claim of the administration forces that they were in control of the situ ? ?

Senator Walsh had been urged for the chairmanship by a group headed by Western delegations. They abandoned the fight when a canvass of the committee revealed a majority against them. With the choice of a chairman, the committee turned attention to the discussion of methods to hasten its work. Quinn Nominates. P. B. Quinn, of Rhode Island, placed Senator Glass in nomination Mr. Glass made a brief speech accepting the place after which the committee authorized the appointment of a committee of nine to hold public! hearings for those desiring to present various planks and party issues'and to prepare a tentative draft of the party platform. Senator Glass was not prepared to name the subcommittee to wrok on the platform at once and plans went forward for the full committee to hear some of those who had suggested planks to offer. In supporting Senator Glass' nomination, Senator Walsh said that while he had been a candidate for the chairmanship, he felt he could do his party a greater service by withdrawing in favor of Mr. Glass. Mr. Walsh, ac cording to exports of the secret sesf sion, also stated that his candidacy had been based solely on a desire to render party service. [ Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, was elected secretary of the commiti tit. Speakers were limited to ten minutes and no one subject could be represented by more than three persons.

Hare, manager, is busy extending and improving its lines. A force of workmen is now engaged in extending the underground cable system into sections of town where, heretofore, overhead wires were used, and frequently put "out of order" by wind and storm. Several years ago the company put a large portion of its wires under ground, but the system did not then include the northern sec tion of town where the cable lines are j now being laid.

Bennettsville, June 30.?The police ' force of Bennettsville has resigned in | a body, the resignations having been filed on June 28, accepted on June 29, to take effect July 1. This action on the part of the police officers is I nq? due to any friction between the police officers aid the mayor and al! dermen, but grew out of the result of a trial in the mayor's court on | June 28 when Mr. N. W. Edens had been brought before the mayor on a charge of speeding and tisked for a trial by jury and the jury acquitted him, returning a verdict of not guilty. J acknowledged administration spokesman, got a place on the subcommittee of nine which will draft the platform, while William J.

Robinson, of Arkansas, was unanimously recommended by the committee on permanent organization tonight for the permanent chairmanship of the convention. Other temporary officers of the convention were recommended by the committee to continue their duties as permanent officers. Senator Robinson was placed in nomination by Mrs. W. A. McDugal, of Oklahoma, and his nomination was seconded by all the States and then made unanimous. The committee decided to recommend the addition of an associate secretary of the convention to the list of officers and E. E. Brotton, of North Carolina, private secretary to Secretary Daniels was chosen for that office.

Under the artistic direction of Mrs. T. B. Gourdin the Church was transformed into a scene of lovliness, with vines interspersed with morning glories of many colors and numbers of candles. The impressive ring ceremony was used by the Rev. W. I. Sinnott, pastor of the brid^, which added much interest to the occasion. Immediately before the bridal party entered, Miss Ruth Turbeville, of Charleston, sang "0 Promise Me" and Mrs. F. A. Douglas sang "If I Were You" and "Sweetheart." To the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march by Miss Mary Sparks on the piano, accompanied by Mrs. H. E. Montgomery, of Kingstree, on the violin, the bridal party entered in the following order: the Misses Florence and Cornelia Mclntyre, ribbon bearers and cousins of the bride, of Bennettsville, who opened the gates. Next came the ushers, Hugh Sires, Barnwell; R. Chaplin and 0. C. Kil pa trick, of Charleston, and Marion R. McClary, of Salters. The,Rev. W. I. Sinnott then came in from a side entrance and stood immediately in front of the chancel. Then came the bridesmaids down the center aisle in the following uiuci| auu uicaoiu **? va^iwwv j. tel shades. Miss Wylma McCollough, in orchid and carried an armful of lavender gladioli; Miss Leila Sires, of Charleston, in yellow, and carried an armful of cream gladioli; Miss Torrence Sires, of Charleston, in green and carrying pink gladioli; next came the groomsmen: Julius Chandler, of Sumter; LeRoy Sires and Owen My-! ers, of Charleston. | These were followed by the ring bearer, Miss Katherine Mclntyre, carrying the ring in the heart of a lily. The dame of honor, Mrs. F. L. Richardson, life-long friend of the bride,; entered next Miss Leila Ferrell, only sister of thd bride, came next as \ maid of honor. Then came the little j flower girls, Miss Mary Elanor and Miss Sarah David. Then came the bride on the arm of her brother, Mr. LeRoy B. Ferrell, of Florence, by j whom she was given away. She was becomingly attired in a beautiful' gown, entraine, of silver cloth with 1 trimmings of tulle and pearls. Her i veil was worn cap fashion and she was very lovely as she met the groom ?

The bridal party left the church in reversed order to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march and returned immediately to the bride's home where a large reception was held. Punch was served on the porches by Miss Demaris Stubbs, of Bennettsville, and Miss Madge Coop- . er. The bride's book was presided; over by Miss Jeannette Davis and Mr. Wilmot S. McCollough. When the cake was cut, the dime went to Miss 1 Wylma McCollough, the button to Mr. Hugh Sires and the thimble to Mr. Gordon Rodgers. Ice cream and cake was served. One entire room was given over to the presents which attested to the popularity of the young couple. The brid^is one of Salter's most popular young women and by her attractive personal and friendly disposition, has made hosts of friend? I for herself wherever she goes. She I is a graduate of Chicora College, and has taught in several schools of the State. L. W. Gilland, Esq., of Kingstree, was master of ceremonies and saw that everything was carried out according to program. The happy couple motored over to Lanes and boarded the Atlantic Coast Line train for Washington and other points North. On their return they will make their home at Charleston. : They have the good wishes of a host i of friends.

John W. Davis, ambassador to Great Britain, was the only man on the. list of those for whom nominating speeches' were to be made who ' was not reached on the day's program. The candidates placed in nomination were: Senator Owen, of Oklahoma; Attorney General Palmer, Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska; Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the Demo* * nr'iii?. /i crauc nauonzu coiiiiinmw ; u. McAdoo, Governor Smith, of New York; Governor Edwards, of New Jersey; Secretary Meredith, Governor Cox, of Ohio and James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany. Bif Demonstrations. The biff demonstrations of the day came with the presentation of Palmer, Cox and McAdoo, althouffh there was a spontaneous outburst with the presentation of Governor Smith. The Cox and Palmer demonstrations were fully expected and looked for, but the McAdoo nomination, cominff after days of uncertainty as to whether a nominating speech was to be made for him or not, added an element of interest and surprise. It was easily the loudest, longest and most tumultuous one and kept the convention in an uproar for the best part of an hour. Dr. Burris Jenkins, of Kansas City, who was ready to place the for- ^ mer Secretary of the Treasury in nomination, finally decided to yield to the wishes of Mr. McAdoo and not make a nominating speech for him. He simply explained the situation to ' the convention in one of the shortest speeches on record, and merely an- ? nounced that he placed Mr. McAdoo in nomination, fully assured that if "drafted for the service of the nation" he would not refuse the nomination. From time to time the convention got echoes of the wet and dry fight being Waged on the outside behind -^^ closed doors of the platform committee, but it devoted itself wholly so far to the organized program, with getting the nominating speeches out of the way and clearing the decks for consideration of the platform tomorrow. It was expected * that all the nominating speeches would be made ; today and that when an adjournment : was taken until tomorrow afteroon at lo'dock the convention would have - -1~~- twA.ilI* lumn titi 01 Hp to Hon a ticai u?ka w W5?u %v?wr?wwof the platform, with its sure fight on wet and dry issues and possibly some other planks.. Pledges of Secrecy Chairman Glass imposed on the sub* V committee members a pledge of se- 1 crecy. He said no planks would be M made public until after action by the V full committee. All members ex- 1 pressed general satisfaction with the results of the committee's labors. There were several clashes during the discussion of the draft. For the most part, however, members said their deliberations had been marked with the "most cordial friendship and earnest and sincere debate." In letting the full committee handle the liquor question the subcommitee platform draft was reported to be without any plank whatever on prohibition. Members let it be known that by a vote of 5 to 4 the subcommittee was said to have excluded the Anti oaiooa s i?w ciuuaxureuv ? plank, those proposed by Postmaster General Burleson for modification of xM the Volstead act and others. The sen- J timent of the subcommittee majority M was said to be for silence in the plat- ^ form on the question because of the 'jH intense feeling on both wet and dry^^H sides and also because of controvers^^^H over whether the liquor question is litical. The full committee adopted a tion that no member should disr^^^^H or give out any information conc^^^^H tag the platform nor any of the mitten's deliberations until its is completed.
