Western Heat Wave
Arrives .
Over 15.000 persons visited Roton
Point. Calf Pasture and Compo
Beach yesterday, to escape the heat
wave which has been scorching the
middle west during the past week.
The \Veather Bureau reported a high
temperature at three o'clock in the
aftrnoon of 86. seven degrees more
than on this date last year.
Three boats brought hundreds of
excursionists to Baton Point from
New York. Trolley cars and private
automobiles carried hundreds more
to the park. Many took their first
dip of the season. About 10,000
were at Roton.
At Calf Pasture beach thousands
also flooded the sands. Compo
beach presented a slmiliar specta-
cle when thousands flocked there
lured out. by the summer weather
for a day at the shore.
Despite the scorching tempera~
ture no heat prostrattons were re-
ported in Norwalk. Sheer oppres-
siveness was prevented by a light
breeze which fluttered over the
landscape most of the day.

by another machine just below the

blood spurted forth. Grabbing a
handkerchief Robert's father jam-
med it into the wound. While an-

At the hospital the lad was placed
on the operatin table and the wound
sewed together by Dr. George G.
Fawcett. The Jugular vein had been
slightly punctured. This operation
is extremely uncommon. The lad is
resting comfortably today hospital
authorities say.
Dr. Fawcett this morning highly
praised the emergency measures
taken by Robert's father. Had not

have bled to death the pllysicizm de-
ciares.

RUM RUNNER
WOULDN’T WAIT

Chief of Police William R. Pen-

tcrnoor; about 5 o'clock by a Nor-
wslk resident who did not wish his
name mentioned that a. large rum
runner was unloading liquor into a
smaller craft, near one of the islands
in the harbor.
Chief Pennington informed the

the mailer.
Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock.

Pennington. went to the spot where
the boat was said to be lying. but
could find no trace of the rum run-
ner.
According to the information from
the Federal authorities. the boat re-
mained near the local harbor only a
short time. The, Federal authorities
expected that it would return during
the night and that it was for this
reason that" they made the early trip
to the scene yesterday morning.

ner, was positive that the boat Was
loaded with liquor. The matter is
being investigated further by the

Stands Waiting "for
Greatest Day It Hall

HUGE CANOPY

'And Shot With Stars,
——Spreads Over All
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK. June zu—If ghosts
of all the revellers should come
trooplng back down the decades to-
day to tiptoe through the dingy
portals of Madison Square Garden
where once they footed it so brave-
ly. they. would halt amazed at. the
sight which greeted them.
Before their eyes in the dim light
would lie a vast stone platter. filled
to the brim with waiting rows of
chairs. Above them would spread a
huge canopy of red and white and
blue, shot. With huge stars. And
everywhere around the circling bal-
cony rails they would see Old Glory:
flags in thousands to deck the open-
ing Tuesday of the Democratic Na.-
tlonal Convention of l924.
The ancient hall stands waiting
for what will be perhaps the great-
est days it has ever known. It is
waiting strangely dressed in bright
colors within; grimy with age with—
out; old. unfashionablc in its frills
and furbcloivs of stone work amid
the stately. sky-piercing structurh
that surround its jumblcr pile.
Along the outer walls still hang
the signs and pictures that tell of
its estate today. There tre the clus-
tering photographs of the "pugillsts"
of the modern ring; the placard of
a Yiddish theatre. And crowding
against thevnarrow sidewalks stand
tall iron fences guarding the window
approcahes.
Sight. Is Inspiring.
But within. despite the lingering
odors of circusses and horse shows
that hang in the air. there is a glori-
ous profusion of flags ranked in
such numbers that the sight stirs the
blood. .Thers will be no lack of pa-
triotic prompting when the Demo-
crats assemble in the Eel ty hours
Swept. clear of tbé partitions and
markers that have divided it through
the lesser days. the Garden today is
one mighty. rounded chamber where
nearly a score of thousands will sit
down tomorrow. In all that number
there is no seat but wilt’give its oc-
cupant full view of the proceedings.
The delegates will sit in a. great
oblong platter. facing toward the
flat side where the platform has
been raised many feet above the hall
floor. ThIrc will be groups so close-
ly about the speaker's bridge that no
word of what. is said should escape
them even without the amplifiers.
At either end of the space. in the
loops of the platter. will sit the alter-
natos and some of the guests.
Behind these seats. circling and
raising above the main floor, the
balcony runs back in a slow. wide
sweep to the walls of the great
