After a quarrel a knife was drawn and the Indian was stabbed to death, the witnesses said and pointed the accusing finger at Ira Noble. The body was found in his coupe outside the La Habra jail shortly after the brawl, according to Night Watchman Brown of La Habra. The quarrel started over a card dispute, according to L. S. Adair, 116 East Maple-ave., Fullerton, who was called to the stand by Deputy Dist. Atty. C. N. Mosley. The quarrell ended with the Indian leaving the house with blood flowing from his neck Adair testified.

Adair said, Jack Rhodes asserted "pail," of Rutherford, was seated at the other side, according to Adair, who admitted that he was also one of the players. William Noble, brother of the accused man, Granville Noble, their nephew, "Red" Cole and a man named Miller were also players, he testified.

Rutherhad had "queens," one in the hole" and Noble had a pair of sixes in sight. When the last card was being turned, Noble suddenly demanded that the cards be cut and as a result of the demand an argument ensued. Rutherford and Noble arose from their seats and exchanged blows. Adair said. VOTES Convention Hisses Vote of Wisconsin for Radical Leader CONVENTION HALL, CLEVELAND, June 12.—Calvin Coolidge was nominated by the Republican national convention here this afternoon, and at the time of his nomination it appeared his running mate would be either Judge W. S. Kenyon of Iowa, or Rep. Everett Sanders of Ind. The vice presidential situation changed with startling suddenness even while the roll call that nominated the president was in progress. While the nominating speeches were being made on the platform of the convention hall, the president held a long distance telephone conversation with a number of eastern leaders who had gone to a booth in the basement. Shortly before this William M. Butler, the president's personal campaign manager, had had word from the White House that the president wished Judge Kenyon named and he transmitted the word promptly to the leaders on the floor. It created an immediate sensation. Secretary of the Treasury Melion, Secretary of War Weeks, Senators Reed of Pennsylvania, Wadsworth of New York and Frank W. Stearns of Boston immediately repaired to the basement. Mr. Mellion and Senator Reed are understood to have declared they could not support Judge Kenyon. Stearns got the president on the long distance telephone and after talking with him for a few moments turned the phone over to Secretary Mellion, who held quite an extended conversation. Then Senator Reed took the phone. The president informed them, it is understood, that either Judge Kenyon or Representative Sanders was acceptable to him, and as soon as the conversation was finished the organization strength was thrown behind the Hoosier. As between Kenyon and Sanders, the administration leaders here on the grounds chose Sanders without a moment's hesitation. The word that Butter had meanwhile sent out in favor of Kenyon was recalled and orders were issued to canvas the delegations for Sanders. When the convention recessed at 2:30 p.m. until 3:30 afternoon President's Only Personally Written Plank Causes Friction LEVELAND, June 12.—President Coolidge's only personally written plank in the whole 1924 public platform was the one cause the greatest friction in set sessions of the convention's form committee it was learned today. The plank, reaffirming the government's desire to remain out of league of nations developed a bus row. At the last moment over a fight against the anti-plank by delegations who had a stronger denunciation of league, it was announced the president had written it and peace was restored. The Coolidge plank rend: "This government has definitely refused membership in the league of nations and to assume any obligations under the covenant of the league. On this we stand." The fight was started by Senator James A. Watson of Indiana, who desired to insert as the league plank a statement by the president in his first message to congress. He did not then know the president had written the original plank. As between Kenyon and Sanders, the administration leaders here on the grounds chose Sanders without a moment's hesitation. The word that Butler had meanwhile sent out in favor of Kenyon was recalled and orders were issued to canvas the delegations for Sanders. When the convention recessed at 2:30 p.m. until 3:30 this afternoon it seemed certain that Sanders would get the call, despite a great amount of Kenyon strength in the middle western delegations. The leaders got together soon as the convention recessed. Senator Wadsworth and Representative Ogden Mills immediately started to line up the great New York delegation in Sanders' behalf. Senator Reed and Pepper did the same thing in the Pennsylvania delegation and administration leaders were confident that Sanders' nomination could be secured in a few ballots. Both the New York and Pennsylvania delegations had previously caught for Curtis. The nomination of Mr. O'Donnell himself was put thru three states gave Robert M. Jollette of Wisconsin and Rirar Johnson of California a total of votes. The Wisconsin delegate also prevented Mr. Coolidge nomination being unanimous as act that got them a partial of the hissing that has been their lot in this convention. A motion to round the rules and make the nominations by acclamation just before the roll call of states was again failed because Chairma Mondell ruled it out of order. The president's nomination became official when Nevada was reached. For nine votes gave him a total of $55, a bare majority, and it swailed continuously from then on until North Dakota was reached. North Dakota cast seven votes for Coolidge and six for LaFolletta. The chairman of the delegation, Coolidge supporter, mandated the delegation be passed and the six LaFolletta advocated their vote in defiance of the poses that came from the floor and galleries. When South Dakota was nominated, her delegation decided to bring "primary" invitations continued on Pennycake.
