COLOMBES STADIUM, France, July 7—Two world's and one Olympic record fell today before the prowess of American athletes as the United States moved into first place in the race for points in the track and field games championship of the 1924 Olympiad. The Stars and Stripes were unfurried twice on the official flagstaff of the stadium, and the band played the Star Spangled Banner as members of the United States team came home first in the 400 metre hurdle race and the high jump. Johnny Hallahan, Boston sports writer and official cheer leader for America was kept busy bringing out lusty cheers for the members of the United States team. George Taylor, Grinnell college night at the crowds up early in day when he walked home in it, 400 metre hurdles in the world’s record time of 52 3-5 seconds. He was ten yards in front of his field and they raised the Stars and Stripes for the first time. The other world’s record was made by Bob Legendre of Newark, who leaped 25 feet 6 inches while competing in this event as an American starter in the pentathlon. His feat was all the more remarkable as he had never bettered 24 feet before in all his jumping experience. H. M. Osborne, Illinois A. C., broke the high jump record in winning the event. He got himself over the bar at a height of 6 feet 6 inches, those in the American section roaring their delight as he wiggled over the white marker on his last try and brought ten more points into Uncle Sam's fold. The members of the United States team did more than was expected of them today but it remained for Harold Abrahams, Cambridge University star sprinter, and the fleetest of foot in Great Britain to bring down the entered the surf again for a last swim and went several hundred yards. He was seen to throw up his hands and heard calling for help but before swimmers could reach the spot he had been carried under. SOCIALISTS TO ENDORSE LAFOLLETTE CLEVELAND, July 7.—Endorsement of the independent presidential candidacy of Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, Rep. of Wis., was recommended formally to the Socialists convention here today by a special committee of 15 members to which the question had been submitted for action. Two members only of the committee submitted a dissenting report. Adoption of the report before nightfall by a substantial majority was predicted by convention leaders. CLEVELAND, July 7.—Another National political organization—the Socialist party—prepared today to endorse the independent presidential candidacy of Sen. Robt. M. LaFollette, Rep. of Wis. Already a special committee of 15 has decided to recommend to the convention meeting here that the party should follow the action of the Conference for Progressive Political action in supporting the militant Wisconsin senator in his drive for the White House. The report was ready to submit to the convention during the day and action was expected immediately. Some members of the convention particularly those who wanted to place a new third party in the field this year, were displeased at the committee's recommendation, preferring to have the party set up independent candidates of its own choice. The leaders of the convention, headed by Morris Hilliill, New York, felt however, that the politically expedient thing to do was to unite behind LaFollette. Eugene V. Debs, many times presidential candidate of the Sozialists to Endorse LaFollette WASHINGTON, July 7.—The condition of Calvin Coolidge Jr., son of President and Mrs. Coolidge, seriously ill at the Walter Reed Hospital here with blood poisoning, was described at o'clock this afternoon after a consultation of attending physicians as "still extremely critical." Stomach washings are being made every few minutes, it was stated, in an effort to scatter these gases which have formed and prevent the taking of much needed nourishment. The physicians are still hoping the youth and vitality of the boy will enable him to combat the poison. WASHINGTON, July 7.—Rally ing just before dawn, Calvin Coolidge Jr., 16-year-old son of the president, was figuring hard this morning against the blood poisoning which threatens to end his life. Physicians said at 7 a.m. that his condition "could not grow worse" but some hope was expressed that the boy would be able to pull through. An operation performed Saturday night at Walter Reed hospital on his right foot is said to have stopped the spread of the poison temporarily. It was announced at the hockey pital at 9:30 a.m. that your Coolidge had "slightly more than a fighting chance to recover." The President and Mrs. Coolidge were at the boy's bedside throughout the night. They have been constantly at the hospital since their son was taken Saturday evening from White House and have been with out sleep through all the order Shortly after 7 o'clock, when physicians assured them that they would be no sudden change to the boy's condition, they motorized to the White House for breakfast. Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge special one hour at the executive mansion, returning at once to the hospital. The president was accompanied also by his secretary, Edward Clark, who carried a number of government papers which Mr. Coolidge planned to work on during the day. "It is a miracle and nothing else that the boy is still living," said Secretary Clark at 10:15 a.m."Nothing like it has ever been known to medical science." A blood transfusion was performed during the night and her broke the high jump record in winning the event. He got himself over the bar at a height of 6 feet 6 inches, those in the American section roaring their delight as he wiggled over the white marker on his last try and brought ten more points into Uncle Sam's fold. The members of the United States team did more than was expected of them today but it remained for Harold Abrahams, Cambridge University star sprinter, and the fleetest of foot in Great Britain to bring down the house in the most spectacular event of the day's program—the final heat in the 100 metre dash, when he breezed home ahead of the class of the world in 10 3-5 seconds, thus equalling for the third time in two days the record for the event, established by Don Lippincott of Philadelphia at Stockholm in 1912. The starter called four American sprinting aces to the mark. They were Charles Paddock, of Los Angeles; Leron Murchison, Newark A. C., Jackson Scholz, New York A. C., and Chet Bowman of Syracuse. Against this array of American sprinting talent, Great Britain sent the college boy Abrahamis, and New Zealand, Porrit. As they took the mark the great crowd experienced the most intense moment of the afternoon. Paddock broke first with the run and was out in front of Churchison caught his twenty yard. At this Abrahams appeared in the ruck, but he began to gain speed and power as he progressed and he was soon abreast of the leaders and then stepped out in front to win by a full yard and once more equal the world's record for the distance. The Europeans roared their aprovapl as the British sprinter flashed out in front of the four crack Americans. The others finished in a blanket, with Scholz in second place, and Porrit of New Zealand next. Bowman took fourth, Paddock fifth and Churchison last. While American athletes gained as many points as expected in today's events, they did not (Continued on Page Eight) Some members of the convention particularly those who wanted to place a new third party in the field this year, were displeased at the committee's recommendation, preferring to have the party set up independent candidates of its own choice. The leaders of the convention, headed by Morris Hillquit, New York, felt however, that the politically expedient thing to do was to unite behind LaFollette. Eugene V. Debs, many times presidential candidate of the Socialists, who is now in a sanitarium, will approve the convention's stand on LaFollette, Hillquit that. Inasmuch as the national committee of the conference for progressive political action, set July 18 as the day to meet LaFollette in Washington and select a vice-presidential running mate, the Socialists who are to be represented upon the committee of Hillquit decided tentatively not to name a vice-presidential candidate but to await LaFollette's choice. For this post, Huston Thompson, chairman of the federal trade commission, was in the same high favor with the Socialists as he was with the conference. Other men, particularly Senator Wheeler of Montana, Senator Norris of Nebraska and Senator Brookhart of Iowa and Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood Locomotive Engineers; Geo. Huddleston of Alabama, and Peter also had supporters. Although planning to endorse Witt, Cleveland city councilman, LaFollette, the convention was working on a platform of its own writing. It will practically coincide, however, with the so-called Wisconsin platform of LaFollette and the "program of Progressive politics" adopted by the conference. The convention closes tomorrow. Mayor Daniel Hoan of Milwaukee is temporary chairman of the convention and Miss Bertha Hale White of Chicago, secretary. Hillquit is chairman of the committee which decided to back LaFollette.

The president was accompanied also by his secretary, Edward W Clark, who carried a number of government papers which Mr Coolidge planned to work on during the day. "It is a miracle and nothing else that the boy is still living said Secretary Clark at 10:15 a.m." "Nothing like it has ever been known to medical science." A blood transfusion was performed during the night and helped greatly to strengthen the body live until dawn. "His vitality is marvelous. Have never seen anything like it said Major Coupal, the House physician, who is directing the work of half a dozen surgeons and blood specialists fighting save young Calvin's life. Three times during the long hot night, the silent watchers bedside thought that all he had passed from the fever rack body. But each time he rallied and when the sun broiled through the window of the room this morning he was still fightless bravely against the insidious avance of the poison. Physicians say that the best indomitable courage and cheerfulness in face of almost certain death are responsible for his tacious hold on life over the end. He appeared confident at times that his father and mother some way, somehow, would able to accomplish the things whatever it might be—that we keep him alive. Except for three relapsee, the boy has been conscious of all that was been done for him. At 1 o'clock this morning I wagged came from the room where the Cooliders were gathered that it did not seem possible for boy to live after 4 o'clock this morning. But when that hung came a new note of cheerful was evident and hopes were pressed that his life could be saved. Throughout the night Maud Coupal, Lieut.

Brundidge, a newspaper reporter, told the state board of medical examiners of how, through Dr. Robert Adcox in St. Louis, was placed in touch with lead of the ring who communicated with Young in an effort to see BOY BANDIT BIG WELCOME FOR BRITISH SQUADRON SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.—As the doughy British lion sped toward San Francisco today for a four-day visit, monster arrangements for the carnival of welcome which will greet the visiting fleet were completed, with thousands of visitors from all parts of California packing hotels and taxing the far-famed hospitality of "the city that knows how." Long before the British fleet, led by the super-dreadsought Hood, mightiest warship afloat, was even near the Golden Gate, both banks of the harbor were thickly dotted with dense masses of humanity, all anxious for a first glimpse of the armada. The city has been transformed into a festival center, with flags and bunting fairly covering entire buildings and Market-st literally buried in decorations. The first welcome will be the dropping of floral "keys to the city" on the deck of the Hood by Brig. Gen. Wm. Mitchell from an airplane as the flagship noses into the harbor. Hundreds of gally decorated yachts, merchantmen, motor boats and barges were in line in the inner harbor, forming a patch thru which the visiting craft will steam toward their moorings. The first roar of the Lion will be a welcoming salute of 21 guns from the Hood to be answered a moment later by batteries from Fort Scott. The moment anchors are dropped by the eight warcraft the city's welcome which is calculated to keep the visitors entertained during all of their visit will set underway, commencing with official meetings of American army and navy officials and citizens with Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Field, K. C. B., and his staff, after which the program of entertainment which will occupy every available moment will commence. Among the larger events will be a dance in the municipal auditorium for the enlisted men of the real parley begins. BOO TOLL No Appreciable Difference Noted in Succeeding Balloting MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 7.—While balloting for the presidential nomination mounted into the eighties this afternoon, Democratic leaders renewed their efforts to break the deadlock between Wm. G. McAdoo and Governor Al Smith by finding a compromise candidate who can poll two-thirds of the delegates. Various movements were under way as the balloting drearily proceeded. One that attracted considerable attention was being engineered by Wm. A. Comstock and Cong. "Bob" Clancey of Michigan. They arranged a meeting for later in the afternoon to be attended by delegates from their own state, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Vermont and a few others, at which efforts will be made to agree upon a candidate who will receive the support of these states. The success of this movement was considered somewhat doubtful. At the same time several U. S. senators, convinced that something "has to be done," were going around the Garden trying to line up support for a ticket of John W. Dayls and Thomas J. Walsh or Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas with Governor Smith as the vice-presidential candidate. Still another movement was in the direction of Carter Glass of Virginia. Missouri swung 36 votes to the Virginian on the 80th ballot and McAdoo dropped down again around 450 after remainabove 500 in recent balloting. All these movements were going on around the garden at the same time as the balloting went on. There was no concerted move in any direction and by 2 o'clock it appeared that the convention in a fair way to go on indefinitely. Tom Taggart, Josephus Daniels, Homer S. Cummings and several other leaders continued their conferences in the room under the speaker's platform, but nothing came of these conferences up to mid-afternoon. At the end of the 79th ballot, Missouri decided to switch for Carter Glass, beginning with 80th ballot. The drop of McAdoo to far below 500 votes on the 80th ballot alarmed the McAdoo managers. They shot William Jennings Bryan into the breach. The Commoner, with his palm leaf fan, became busy among wavering delegations on the floor. While the $1st ballot was in place word around in those who would "pay the price." Brundidge, a newspaper reporter, told the state board of medical examiners of how, through Dr. Robert Adecox in St. Louis, was placed in touch with lead of the ring who communicated with Young in an effort to seek employment in the state of Wisconsin those who would "pay the price." A hold-up was reported to be police last night by Will Chafe of Los Angeles, who he was stuck up at Broadway Palm-st by two youths who lieved him of $37.50. He said one of them was al 28 and the other 21. One womask over a portion of his hat but with his nose discoloration which Chafe described as long. He also wore a blue with a light cap.

Jay, of Anaheim, who says he purchased $1000 worth of stock for $900, but who was not satisfied with his "bargain" as subsequent events proved, was today preparing to press his charge that T. S. Williams, alias A. H. Edwards, obtained his money under false pretenses. Preliminary examination of Williams is set for Tuesday at 10 a.m., before Justice J. B. Cox.

The leaders meanwhile will try to get together again. The arrival today of James M. Cox, the 1920 leader and "titular leader" of the party, was in part responsible for the adjournment. News of his arrival and his intention of helping" the party out of the present race was circulated on the floor during the last ballots and many of the leaders manifestly wanted to get away to consult the Ohioan. The principal achievement of today's session was the adoption of a resolution stating that it was the sense of this convention that the time had now come when all delegates should be released from whatever pledges instructions or what not they were operating under. The resolution was adopted by an overwhelming vote but it had little effect in changing any votes on the only ballot taken before adjournment. McAdoo was pounded down steadily during the day. He started with 511 votes on the 78th ballot this morning and wound up with 418 on the 83rd this afternoon—a less of nearly 100 votes. This loss was occasioned by the defection of Missouri, which went to Carter Glass, and of Oklahoma, which went to Robert L. Owen, and Mississippi, which went back to Senator Ralston of Indiana. When the final balloting was in progress this afternoon, representatives of 12 states got together under the platform, including some U.S. senators, chairmen and ex-cabinet officers and arranged a conference to be held late this afternoon in the rooms of Tom Taggart at the Waldorf hotel. The states represented in this gathering were Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa and Kansas. Their manifest purpose is to try to agree on some candidate DEEDING.

Declares "Monkey Teaching" in California Schools Must Go MACRAMENTO, July 7.—Texts of science in the California pubschools which teach that man a product of evolution—"an alike mammal," must go, the George L. Thorpe of Corona, verside-co, declared today in a referent to Will Wood, state superintendent of public instruction. Apposing the "ape-like" theory with a biblical quotation to the not that man is the child of it, created after his own image, clergyman asserted that the thesis book on science which he read will nurture, a race of relatives and infidels unless it is imply put under the ban. Shall our country and our ization be destroyed by the changing of evolution in the pubschools?" asks Rev. Thorpe. No. Evolution must go and other book on science must go." The minister stated that he consulted with Gov. Richardson relative to the teaching of evolution in the schools and that the governor referred him to Superinendent Wood. The following statement was issued by Wood relative to the matter. "There are various text books in science listed by one state board of education for use in the high schools of the state which present the doctrine of evolution about which the Rev. Mr. Thorpe complains. "For example, I have before me a book which declares that we must place man with the ape-like mammals because of numerous points of structural likeness. It also declares that there is a greater difference between the lowest type of monkey and the highest type of apa and the lowest savage man." MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. NEW YORK, July 7.—Prepared for anything, but apparently doubtful that anything short of a party split can break the deadlock has gripped them tightly for two weeks, the delegates to the Democratic national convention returned wearily to Madison Square Garden today and started on their third week of this record-breaking unprecedented political gathering. William Jennings Bryan was one of the early arrivals. "It doesn't look like me like the deadlock will end today," he commented placidly between swipes of his big palm leaf fan. "The only thing I am sure of is that the convention is two days nearer adjournment than it was Saturday. This is true only because we must adjourn before election." (Continued on Page Three)
