After Bryun had made a speech
nominating Senator Kern, of Indiana,
and attacking Alton B. Parker, Kern
took the floor. He made a plea for
harmony, asked Parker to join him in
withdrawing from the contest for tem-

were sleeping at James Schneck’s a man came

Titanic Bodies Drifted 370 Miles.
The captain of the steamer Ilford,

that they were three stewards living
in the Isle of Wight. The bodies were
buried at sea.
Death Penalty For Robbery.
Byrd Jackson, a colored man, was

Ollie James, of Kentucky, was elect-
ed permanent chairman at Wednes-
day evening's session.
The conservatives lost control of the
convention. Governor Woodrow Wil.
son’s friends received a great boost
and Governor Harmon suffered a set-
back.
By a vote of 55563 to 495% the con-
vention rejected the report of the
committee on rules, declared the unit
rule imposed by the Ohio convention
did not bind the nineteen Wilson dele-
gates and they are free to vote for
Governor Wilson.
Mr. James, an ardent friend of Wil
liam J. Bryan, was named for perma-
nent chairman by the committee on
permanent organization and promptly
elected by the convention.
William Jennings Bryan scored his
first victory in the convention when
the convention, without dissent, adopt-
ed the rules committee's report, which
was in favor of the Commoner’'s plan
to postpone presentation of the plat.
form until after tne nomination is
made.
The report, much to the surprise
of the convention, was adopted by a
viva voce vote, without opposition.
A flood of oratory buried the dele-
gates under rhetorical waves. The
convention marked time through the
entire day session, because the com-
mittee on credentials had not prepared
its report.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, was led
to the platform. He was warmly ap-
plauded. Gore was the only speake:
who managed to hold the attention of
the crowd from the first to last. He
told them that the Republican party
was a goner, that it was half alive and
half dead and that only Democratic
suicide could save it.
At the evening session immediately
after the prayer by Rev. Mr. Crouse,
Representative Covington, of Mary-
land, chairman of the committee on
rules, was recognized to present the
committee's report.
The report as read by Mr. Coving:
ton would place the nominations of
president and vice president on the
program of the convention immediate-
ly after the report of the committee
on credentials and before the adoption
of the platform.’
“This is contrary to the usual cus-
tom,” said Mr. Covington, “but whiie
the committee on rules was in session
three distinguished members of the
present Democratic situation made it
wise to have this convention proceed
to the nomination before the adoption
of the platform. In recognition of the
distinguished members of the resolu-
committee on resolutions, Senator
Rayner, Governor Vardaman and an-
other distinguished member of the
resolutions committee came into our
conference. They informed the rules
committee that the resolutions com-
mittee, by a vote of 41 to 11, had de-
termined that the exigencies of the
tions committee, the committee on
rules has embodied in the report of
rules committee. | now move the adop-
tion of that repcit.”
The report, much to the surprise of
the convention generally, was adopted
by a viva voce vote, without opposi-
Lon.
Mr. Covingion then presented the
mejority supplements] report of the
rules committee, mak.ng the unit rule |
a rule of the convention. As reported,
the rule would make a unit instruction
by a state convention binding on a
delegation, if a majority of the dele-
gation favored any particular candi-
date.
Representative Henry, of Texas, pre-
sented a minority report, which would
except from the operations of this
rule such delegations as are elected
under state primary rules by
sional districts.
Alter a twe-hours’ debate a vote was |
ordered and the unit rule was defeated
by a vote of 55514 to 49516.
By this action Wilson gains nineteen
votes in Ohio.
The close of the second day of the
Democratic national convention found
Speaker Champ Clark losing strength,
with Woodrow Wilson gaining and
with United States Senator
of New York, as possibilities for a
compromise,
Speaker Clan!

a were
ing the Clark boom were plainly on
the anxious seat.
Notwithstanding the anxiety ex- |
pressed by many of
friends, he will go into the convention
when the balloting begins with many
more votes than any cther candidate.
His supporters contend that he will
have 512 votes on the first ballot, but !
more conservative estimates give him
about 450.
The Woodrow Wilson men were
elated over the turn affairs had taken
within the last twenty-four hours and |
they were predicting that Governor
Wilson, when the balloting begins, will
have a sufficient number of votes to
prevent the selection of a candidate
who does not bear his approval
Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, fig-
ures that Wilson will have 328 dele-
gates, but it is figured that Wilson, in
order to exercise this veto power, will
have to have 365 delegates.
The New York leaders are still stick-
ing to their plan to present Mayor
Gaynor's name on the first ballot.
All of yesterday's sessions were taken
up in completing the permanent organi-
zation until late last night when the var-
ious candidates were being placed in
nomination as this paper goes to press.
The turn of the tide from Clark to
Wilson was most noticeable yesterday,
Thursday afternoon, and some of the
wise ones were even going so far as to
predict his nomination on the first ballot.
That is not probable, however, unless
there is a stampede to him. It may take
balloting until Saturday before anyone of
the candidates secures t}.e necessary two-
thirds vote.
Votes to Impeach Judge Archbald.
The house judiciary committee has |
voted unanimously to report articles of
impeachment against Judge Archbald,
of the commerce court, who has been
under investigation for alleged misbe- |
havior in office in connection with a
“culm bank” transaction with the Erle
railroad.
The report will be made to the
house during the week of July 1.
The Marion Coal company’s case
against the Lackawanna railroad,
which figured prominently in the
Archbald impeachment hearings, was
decided by the interstate commerce
commission in favor of the coal com- |
pany. W. P. Boland, the coal com-
pany’'s president, is t' author of the
impeachment charges against Judge
Archbald.
The commission held that the rates
charged by the Lackawanna for an-
thracite coal from Taylor, Pa., to tide-
water at Hoboken, N. J, were unrea-
sonable and too high and ordered re-
ductions all along the line on rates for
the various grades of anthracite.
At the Archbald hearings Boland
made sensational charges that the
Lackawanna was discriminating
against his company.
Burns Herself to Death.
Saturating her clothing with coal oil
at her home in Lewisburg, Pa., Mrs.
Harry Dieffenderfer, aged thirty years,
set fire to them and then ran scream-
ing into the yard.
Members of a fire company next
dour to her home ran over and rolled
her in blankets, but not before she
was literally roasted alive. She was
dead when carried into the house.
Temporary insanity is given as the
cause of the terrible act. l'our years
