Meanwhile, it is planned to have a night convention session tonight at which nominating speeches will begin. DISPUTE SETTLED. The delegates did not have to wait long for settlement of the Louisiana credentials disagreement. The issue was put before them soon after the session opened, and the Ewing Long delegates, supporters of Governor Smith, were seated without a record vote. The convention upheld the credentials committee, which ruled against the Thomson contest.

Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas was elected permanent chairman and a special committee went to the floor to escort him to the plat the hall. Others fell in. Soon the hall was alive with marchers. The Lone Star state flag set the crowd off into a burst of cheers. The marchers wove in and out like col lege boys celebrating a football vic tory.

For six minutes they marched. and then suddenly found their places again. That was the high point oi the- evening. There had been considerable applause and much music, but the affair lacked the fire of sessions in previous conventions. Charged with conspiring to extort money, Edwin Kolle, constable and former prohibition agent, was arrested yesterday on an information made by C.

Under the new rulings of revenue office no admission ticket priced at $3 or under will be subject to any government tax. Tickets in advance of that price will carry the usual 10 per cent levied in the war-tax program. During the busy theater season upwards of $40,000 a month is paid into the coffers of Uncle Sam by Pittsburgh amusement seekers.
