CHAFIN FOR SULZER
ST. PAUL, Minn., July 21. J. Frank
Hanly, of Indiana, was (he first candi
date for President on the Prohibition
ticket placed In nomination nt the
party's national convention here today.
Sumner AV. Hayncs, of Indiann, who
withdrew front the presidential race,
made the nominating speech when Ala
bama yielded to Indiana.
A demonstration for Hanly followed
HayncB' speech. It transformed the
gathering from a camp-mcetlng into n
regular convention for nbout 15 min
utes. The crowd shouted, marched and
sang "Wc want Hanly."
ST PAUL, Minn.. July 21. The Pro
hlbltlon party will bring one of the storm
iest conventions In Its history to a close to
day by nominating candidates for President
and Vice President and adopting the most
progressive platform it has yet put beforo
the country.
J. Frank Hanly. of Indiana, will In all
probability be rclccted to head the ticket
His running mate may be any one of half
a dozen men. His nomination, while not
certain, will be accomplished on the first
ballot, according to his supporters. The
withdrawal from all consideration of ex
Governor Eugenes N. Foss, of Massachusetts,
tho Hanlyltcs said today, gives tho Itoosler
candidate an overwhelming majority of 700
delegates
Many of tho delegates departed for their
homes last night and early today, following
tho postponement of tho nomination. Not
a few of thorn were disgruntled. For three
hours thev were kept In a torrid auditorium
last night listening to half a dozen col
legians deliver orations, oxpcctlng that tho
nominations would be held as announced as
Boon as tho college boys finished. But for
somo unexplained reason leaders proposed
an adjournment and tho tired delegates
wearily acquiesced.
Tho faction of tho party Headed by
Kugeno W. Charin, twlco candidate for
President, will mako a valiant effort today
to snatch tho party honors nway from
Hanly and deliver them to William Sulzor,
the ex-Governor of New York, who Is tho
only active candldato on tho ground. But
tho Sulzer fight seemed destined for de
feat even as It was being made, and It was
predicted that at tho last moment there
will bo n general rush to climb aboard tho
Hanly bandwagon. Sulzor's friends dragged
religion Into tho fight.
When Chairman Patten called the con
vention to order tho new members of tho
National Commltteo were presented and
confirmed Thrco States. Mississippi, Ten
nessee and Nevada had no representation,
and tho Stato committees of those States
were authorized to nil vacancies on tho
i
atlonal Commltteo.
A motion to adopt the platform as n
whole, without amendments, precipitated a
long and tedious controversy. Somo dele
gates objected to tho "literary qualities"
of 'the declaration and others to the
"boverago" clauso In tho prohibition plank.
Thcso latter wanted tho platform to declare
against llquorffor medical purposes.
Eugene W. Chafln, tho manager of tho
Sulzer boom, succeeded In Inserting Into the
platform an Initiative, referendum and re
call plank.
Hanly, It Is said, Is opposed to this plank,
whltp Sulzer Is a strong supporter of It.
Tho platform then was adopted with but
few dissenting votes.
After the ndoptlon of tho platform the
convention proceeded to the nomination of
candidates. Arizona yielded to Indiana and
J. Frank Hanlywas nominated by Sumner
Vf. Hayncs. a fellow-Hoosler, amid tremen'
dous enthusiasm. The Indiana delegation
led tho demonstration and started a parade
through the- aisles and over tho speaker's
plat f oi m. Illinois fell In line behind th)
yelling Hooslers, as did many of the West
ern Statea.
Arizona was next on the roll and Eugene
W. Chafln. the two-tlmo standard-bearer of
the party, placed In nomination AVIlllam
Sulzer. of New York. Chafln's speech was
a defense of the ousted Governor. He cited
his long record In Congress and attributed
his political downfall to the evil machina
tions of Tammany. No honest man, Chafln
says, believed that Sulzer was honestly
Impeached.
Probably a fifth of the delegates began
spasmodic cheering as Chafln concluded. It
was of short duration and the secretary
toon proceeded with the roll of States.
California yielded to Maryland and Flnley
C. Hendrlckson, of that State, was nomi
nated by George R. Gorsuch, of the same
State. Colorado yielded to New Jersey and
Dr. James Gilbert Mason was nominated as
tho favorite son candidate from that state.
Dr. Grafton D. Day made the nominating
speech.

GIRL'S DREAM OF CIRCUS
LIFE NIPPED BY COPS
-i
Leaves Northampton to Meet
Trapeze Performer, but Ro
mance Strikes Snag
Mildred Llpsltz. 14 jc.irs old, whose
father owns u furniture Moro In Noith
ampton, Pa., had an ambition. She didn't
know that was what It was. but that was It.
She might have told any one friendly
enough to get her conlldence that sho hud a
great ambition, but she would havo whis
pered It this way:
"I'm agoln' to he a bareback rider In a
circus."
Last week Mildred's opportunity came.
As everybody knows, opportunity ltnorks
hut once, and Mildred realized It was less
than that In Northampton. So -when Lee's
"stupendous, dazzling, thrilling, greateit
clrcUB on earth" camo to Northampton It
was nothing more or less than Great Op
portunity pounding heavily for the first
and last time nt her door.
Not only this Thcie was n man In the
circus, a, wonderful man. a great trapeze
performer. Mildred had watched hlin
swinging from tho big top, whirling through
the air and bounding In the nets. And he
was still more wonderful because he wore
pink tights and was the hnndbomest sort of
fellow, with wide shoulders and a pleasant
face.
Yes, not only had opportunity arrived,
but a "prlnco charming" also. It Is Mil
dred's secret how she met the man she ad
mired, His name was Charles Clifton she
will tell you that and he Is 24 years old,
sho will say. But nbout the romance that
Is her'B.
The Philadelphia police now say that
Clifton Induced Mildred to leave her homo
and como hero to meet him. They were
going to rejoin the circus with Mildred as
a bareback rider and Clifton smiling down
on her from a trapeze nbove. Thus It was
to bo a delightful married life.
But Mildred was Mopped by the Phila
delphia police, who had been notified of her
disappearance by her father. Sho was taken
from a train last night at 24th and Chest
nut streets, by Detective Gomborrow, and
this morning her father, who had followed
her, took her back to Northampton. There
by were both love and pmbltlon killed.
Praises Philadelphia Banks -A,
H. Melville, chief of the Bureau o,S
Commerce, Madison, Wis., who Inspected
several Philadelphia banks yesterday, high
ly praised the efficiency of Philadelphia
banking Institutions. Mr Melville spoke
of what Vlsconsln University Is doing to
train young men to take secretarial posi
tions in all parts of the country None of
'the graduates earns less than ? 1600, and
many earn $5000, he said.

H,
STOOLPIGEONS SEEK HIM
The squlnty man with silver-flecked
brown hair and two fingers missing on his
left hand, the man who aided Wilson Ash
bridge In the murderous onslaught on the
Camden turnkeys, may be In safe hiding
right here In Philadelphia, safely swallowed
up In the maelstrom of the Tenderloin
For though several clue from this city
to the effect that Forger George E Thomp
son was seen here were run out by Detec
tive Captain Schregler and County De
tective "Larry" Dornn, whoso work has put
n spirit of rcnl zest In the man-hunt, there
Is the half-hopo of some and tho hearty be
lief of others that George E Thompson,
nllns Frank Murphy, alias McCormlck,
used his shrewdness In staying In tho Ten
derloin where perhaps he could mix with
tho usual quota of yeggmen and crooks un
molested. Much ha3 been paid about Thompson.
He Is paid to havo been a man with brains
and cunning; he was pictured as the master
mind of tho Jail delivery. His farewell let
ter stamped hlrh as a man with a subtle
senso of humor nnd with Imagination. But
It was misspelled and grammatically as
bad as tho expressions of a child In tho
eighth grade might be.
His natural shrewdness, the police say,
Is no moro and no less than nny man with
ordinary Intelligence would have after a
period of battling with tho police, for,
they say, the forger openly boasted he
"never got nn honest dollar In the last 25
years."
With this supposition In mind, coupled
with tho fact that Thompson had but MO
that Ashbrldge gave him at their separa
tion, Camden authorities will not bo sur
prised If the forger be found In hiding In
one of the many "ratholcs" that Infest the
section of the city In the 10th and 14tU
Wards.
Stoolplgcons or Informers do not usually
work unless money Is In sight, which Is
one reason why many of them scoured dens
and dives last night to ram the $G00 reward
offered for Information leading to tho cap
ture of Thompson.
Mrs N. E. Masscy, sister of the fugitive,
returned to her home at 220 North Bth
street, Camden, lato yoitcrday. after having
been absent since Tuesday morning. She
Insisted that she knew nothing of her
brother's movements since his escape.
"I do not know where my brother Is now,"
sho declnrcd, "nor do I caro to learn I
hnvo not seen him slnco ho escaped from
Jail. I was away when that occurred and
did not learn of It until the police camo to
search my homo lato Monday night. My
husband and I had spent the day In Wil
mington. At present wo nro on our summer
vacation, which accounts for tho little trlp3
we have been taking during tho last few
days."
Mrs. Massey told In detail her movements
before and since tho escape. Sho also dis
cussed her brother's life She added:
"I feel very sorry for Mrs Ashbrldge, but
as far as Georgo Is concerned I hopo that
ho Is dead when they flu , him. We havo
known little about George for years. Why,
I knew nothing about lilt marriage until I
rend tne note he left behind In the cell."
Sheriff Joshua Haines allowed Ashbrlclgo
to smoke clgarottcs In his cell this morning,
ruling that tho turkney should light them
for him through the bars of 'the cell. They
nro taking no chances with matches.
Ashbrlclgo occupies tho middle cell In
"murderers' row." His wife Is near him
on tho same tloor. They nro not allowed to
talk with each other, however. And Ash
brldgo paces his floor, apparently having
gathered a stronger realization of his
crime and what It means. He soothes his
nerves with cigarettes.
The prisoner ate scarcely at nil until this
morning, when a good breakfast was
brought him. The guard at his cell door
said he slept soundly last night.

CAPT. CHRISTIAN JENSEN
BARGE CAPTAIN TELLS
OF THRILLING ESCAPE
IN STORM-TOSSED SEA
Letter From Chief of Northwest
Recounts Struggle, Adrift on
Ship Rigging, in Hurricane
Off Capo Romain
WALKED MILES TO HAVEN
The story of n fierce battle with storm
tossed seas Is told In a letter received
today by the CooJ Cumber Steamship Com
pany, Lafayette Building, from Captain
Christian Jenson. commander of tho
schooner bargo Northwest, which was lost
In the recent hurricane off tho South Car
olina coast.
Captain Jenson nnd his crew of four men
were In the mlzzcn rigging of tho barge
when, helpless nnd disabled, his vessel
drifted on the Capo Romain shoals.
Tho rigging was ripped nway In the ter
rific wind and tho captain nnd his men wcro
thrown Into tho sea, from which, after a
fierce struggle with tho waves, In which
their clothing was literally torn from their
backs, they finally reached tho shore, help
less and exhausted.
The men after their strength permitted
made their way to the Capo Tlomaln light
house, where they received food and
clothing.
ADHIFT IN' RIGGING.
During the perilous period of threo hours
that tho men wcro adrift In tho rigging
they wcro buffeted by tho giant waves, nnd
had It not been for the heroism of Captain
Jenson In encouraging his men by cheerful
commanding words, two of them would
havo lost their hold upon tho rigging mid
been drowned.
Tho beach upon which they landed was
desolate, with the lighthouse but a Bhadow
In the distance. Captain Jenson led his
men on the four-mile walk and was com
pelled to stop several times to allow his
men to rest.
Tho shipwrecked sailors after resting nt
the lighthouse for thrco days went to
Charleston on tho lug Wellington, which
hnd the Northwest and her sister barge, the
Southwest, In tow when the hurricane cast
tho vessels adrift. Captain Jenson and
his men will leave Charleston today on a
Clyde liner for New York, en route to Phil
adelphia. A dramatic eplsodo attached to tho res
cue of Captain Jenson was disclosed by Mr.
Cook, of tho Cool; Cumber Steamship Com
pany. Yesterday a wire was received by
Mr. Cook to. the effect that Captain Jen
son's vessel had been lost and tho bklppcr
and his crew drowned.
CAPTAIN'S WIFi: OVRRJOYKD.
Whlio Mr. Cook was phoning the news
to Mrs. Jenson. nnd Just an he heard the
receiver dropped by the seaman's wife upon
hearing the Information, another wire from
Charleston announced that tho &uppoed
body of Captain Jenson had been Identified
as that of Captain Robert L. Merrlman, of
Freeport, I.. I . who was commander of
tho barge Southwest. Mrs. Jenson was
quickly revled by a kindly neighbor and
heard tho good news that her hushand was
alive and well although exhausted from
I1I3 experiences.
The tug Wellington, which had the barges
In tow, wfpfeecking her charges when she
sighted the U S. collier Hector, and rescued
120 of her seamen at the entrance to
Charleston harbor.
When tho weather moderated sufficiently
she again went In search of her barges and
found the Southwest sunk In Dull Bay, but
was unable to locate tho Northwest
