Convention Takes Recess
SHRIEKINS MOB SURGES TO BRYAN
AS HE DENOUNCES MISSOURI MEN
FOB WING BANNER IN HIS FACE
(By Associated Brass.)
BALTIMORE. July L—At the end of
the thirty-third ballot the Champ Clark
people revived their droopins spirits by
displaying a big banner on which the
following tribute to Clark from W. J;
Bryan In .1610 was printed in red:
“T hare, known Champ Clark eighteen
years. He ia absolutely incorruptible
and hia. life is above reproach. Never
in all tftese years have I known him to
be urAn but one side of the qut ’on
an-1 that was the side that represented
the people.”
There was a cheer as the Missourians
displayed the banner above their rele
gation. It continued for several min

it to Bryan." shouted ?ome one.
THEN CAME TROUBLE.
No sooner was this said than the
Missourians acted on the suggestion.
Then came trouble.
Bryan arose ar. I faced his tormentors
for a moment. Several policemen hur
ried to hia side and with them as an
escort, the Nebraskan fairly fought his
way to the stage, where he demanded
of the chairman the right to answer
Missouri, if that delegation was re
sponsible. The chair asked to be per-

The escape of 75 girls working in
the telephone exchange was probably
the most miraculous of any. The
building was demolished. It was at
first believed that a large number had
been killed. Superintendent J. R.
Sutherland wired the general office at
Winnipeg early in the night that prob
ably twenty girls had been killed and
forty injured. This, however, proved
to be untrue. Just how many were in
jured is not known, but none were
killed or fatally injured.

UNDERWOOD CROWD DECIDES
TO STAND PAT UNTIL THE END
Delegates Instructed for Ala
bamian Caucused Yesterday
and Agreed to Conider No
Compromise
BY JOHN PASCHALL
BALTIMORE. Md . July I.—“ Unde
rwood first, last and all the time."
That was the decision of the delegates
instructed for the Alabamian at a cau
cus at the St. James hotel Sunday night.
The gathering was called for the purpose
of tightening the lines and keeping the
Underwood delegates together when the
balloting Is resumed today. There have
been a few members of the Georgia dele
gation and some perhaps from the other
Vndgrwood states who have felt that the
time had come for Underwood’s strength
to be thrown to some other candidate.
Eome Georgians were ready to go to
Champ C ark Saturday, when his candi
dacy was on the ascendency, but the
majority has decided that the situation
has now developed in the convention on
s’hich the whole Underwood campaign
has bssed. namely, a deadlock. If there
•ver was a chance for Underwood that
chance has now arrived, say hts sup
bort era Therefore they win sit steady
n the boat and keep voting for the

And after ail. under the instructions

mitted to announce the result of the
33d ballot first
Mr. Bryan was impatient. He de
scended from the stage and amid howls
and cheers faced the Missouri dele
gates.
“Is the Missouri delegation respon
sible for sending that banner over to
the Nebraska delegation?” Bryan asked.
A SHRIEKING MOB.
In the uproar which followed Bryan
stood smiling in the oenter of a shriek
ing. excited mob. Half a dozen police
men charged into the crowd.
“Anything against Bryan,” shouted a
Missouri delegate, shaking his fist at
the smiling Nebraskan.
From the aisles the policemen escort
ed the Nebraskan up on to the plat
form. Half a dozen hand-to-hand
fights followed as the Clark men tried
to carry their banner up on the plat
form behind Bryan. They scaled the
press stand, . : were hurled back to
the floor. Another series of fist fights
resulted. A score of policemen fought
in vain to quiet the shrieking, fighting
mob and succeeded after a time. Mr.
Bryan endeavored to speak on a point
of personal privilege. His point, how
ever, was overruled and he went back
to his seat. Excitement subsided after
the chairman had Instructed the police
to permit no more banners of any kind
on the floor.
LEADERS DOUBT THAT
BWTION CAN BE
REACHEDJII MONDAY
First Ballots, It Was Expected,
Would Show Whether Clark
Helped Himself by Going to
Baltimore
(By Axccialetl Prex.)
BALTIMORE. July I.—When the
Democratic national convention began
its sixth day's session today there was
no prospect of n Immediate break of
the deadlock over the presidential nomi
nation.
SORE ON BRYAN.
There was no denying that Mr. Bry
an has stirred up a hornet's nest and
it was a question how long" it would
take to draw the stings. Clark's fol
lowers charged that Mr. Bryan was re
sponsible for the convention withhold
ing the nomination from the speaker
after it had given him a majority vote
and they declared their unalterable op
position to any one he supports. And
to their cause they have won. it was
said, many enemies of Mr. Bryan, who
under other circumstances would be for
the man he champions.
Delegates to the Democratic national
convention held to a fragile hope this
morning that the first three or four bal-‘
lots taken at the day’s session would
result tn sufficient splits among the
(Continued On Page 2, Column 6.)
but they have decided to follow them
until the convention adjourns.
The decision of the caucus Sunday
: night to stick to Underwood to the
1 last will not materially affect Woodrow
■ Wilson's candidacy. All agree that the
I Underwood votes can noi oe delivered
to any candidate In block. If they
could. Senator Bankhead no doubt would
have long since delivered them. But the
Underw’ood delegates divided in the sec
ond choice. Some of them favor Champ
Clark and equally as many would go to
Wilson, whi.e a few would go to neittier.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT?
It was announced at the Underwood
caucus last night by Congressman
Brantley that Mr. Underwood would un
der no circumstances accept second
place on the ticket. This announcement
was deemed necessary, no doubt, in
view of the story that appeared in the
Atlanta Constitution, which reached
Baltimore yesterday. This story dis
cussed Underwood’s availability as vice
presidential timber. In spite of Mr. Un
derwood's announcement that the vice
president job had no attractions for
him, his name is persistently mentioned
in this connection. There are many who
still believe that Wilson and Underwood
will be the ticket that finally breaks
the deadlock.
CLARK HOWELL LEAVES
National Committeeman C*rk Howell’s
[ departure at a critical stage of the con
| ventton waa discussed with Interest Sun
day. The Georgia delegates say they
do not know why he left, but others
declare that he felt tha, a Wilson land
slide was coming and he did not care
to participate in the proceeding. All of
the Georgians enjoyed the rest allowed
them yesterday and they are fit and
ready for another long siege today.
There was a welcome change in the
weather Saturday and the air has been
a tonic for the tired Democrats.
WILSON AHEAD OF .
CHAMP CUIRK ON
THIRTIETH BUT
lowa Broke and Gave Wilson
Fourteen of Its Twenty-Six
Votes, Giving Wilson a To
tal of 460
(By Axociated Press.)
BALTIMORE, July 1 During the
31st ballot Wilson managers claimed
that they had been promised 30 addi
tional votes by the 33d ballot and 102
votes by the 34th ballot. His total was
460 on the 30th, ana if the alleged
promises were kept his total on the 34th
would bo 562, a majority. <
It was reported that Illinois soon
would go to Wilson, but many Believed
that he would have difficulty getting the
necessary two-third to nominate.
Mi. Palmer has been active in tho
progressive camp and has voted
throughout for Governor Wilson. He
is a member of the ways and moans

tives and the father of the economy

Murphy announced 96 for Clark.
John B. Stanchfield. New York dele
gate, spoke from the platform,’ explain
ing his vote and championing New York
as a decisive factor in Democracy.
DEFENDING NEW YORK
Stanchfield declared that the integ
rity of New York delegates had been
impugned and insulted and that New
York had a right to be heard.
BRYAN DENOUNCED.
Stanchfield denounced Bryan as the
"money-grabbing, favor-hunting,
marplot from Nebraska.”
Stanchfield’s bitter characterization
of Bryan was received with cheers min
gled with some hisses. The speaker
maintained that the New York delega
tion w«b the. aMest ever eent to a na
tional convention.
"No man branded with Bryanism can
come wihtn half a mlilmn of carrying
New York.” exclaimed Stanchfield amid
cheers and jeers.
"BRYAN A PLUTOCRAT.”
Stanchfield bitterly attacked Bryan as
one of the plutocrats whose names should
be linked with Morgan, Belmont and
Ryan. Any man who had been writing
for pay in the Republican convention
should be expelled from this convention.
Mr. Bryan was opposed to any candi
date except Mr. Bryan.
Stanchfield closed with announcing his
vote for Wilson.

' one short of two-thirds.

THE TIPPINS BILL 15
POSTPONED UNTIL
NEXT MONDRY J. M.
Continued Absence of Rep. An
derson, Chief Opponent,
With Ga. Delegation at Bal
timore, the Reason
The Tippins bill, tightening the screws
on Georgia’s prohibition law. scheduled
for debate Monday in the house of rep
resentatives, has been postponed until
next Monday.
The absence of J. Randolph Ander
son, of Chatham, the bill’s chief op
ponent. who was still in Baltimore as a
member of the Georgia delegation In the
national Democratic convention, was the
cause of the postponement, the bill’s
principal advocates not wishing to take
any advantage of their antagonists.
Postponement was effected by a reso
lution, which was adopted by vote of 103
to 10, shortly after the house convened
Monday morning. It was offered by
Representative Alexander of DeKalb,
leader of the bill's supporters.
In asking unanimous consent for the
'postponment of the Tippins bill, Mr. Al
exander .stated the reason already cited—
the continued absence of Mr. Anderson
in Baltimore.
Representative Peyton of Worth ob
jected, blocking the unanimous consent,
whereupon Mr. Alexander moved that the
bill be set as a cpeetal order for next
Monday, displacing the child labor bill
already set for Special oraer on that
day, and the motion was adopted by
vote.
Mr. Alexander then offered a resolution
to limit debate on the measure and bring
it to a vote on the following day—next
Tuesday. This went to the rules com
mittee.
Mr. Peyton explained his opposition,
privately, by Stating that he believed
postponement would result in the bill
not being enacted into law at this ses
sion of the legislature, declaring his
opinion that after it is passed and re
ceives the governor’s veto It will then
be too late for the further contemplated
action.

OYSTER BAY, July I.—Robert R. Mc-

WATSON TELLS GEORGIA
TO VOTE FOB GURU
J »* * . t ■ .
Delegation Was Flooded Sun
day With Unappreciated
Telegrams From Thomson
JJY JOHN PASCHALL.
CONVENTION HALL, Baltimore,
July 1. —Thomas E. Watson is flood
ing members of the Georgia delegation
with telegrams urging them to desert
Underwood and vote for Champ Clark.
Colonel Pendleton and other prominent
members of the delegation received
these messages last night and this
morning.
The telegrams declare that Under
wood no longer has any chance, and
urge Georgia to go over to Clark. The
messages from Thomson have had no
effect upon the delegates except to in
cease their determination to stick to Un
derwood. In fact, Watson’s attempt to
direct the delegation how It shall vote
is looked f upon as gratuitous offi
ciousness on his part.
Mr. Watson’s seat on the convention
floor Is occupied by Miss TinCy Bell,
formerly of Lithonia, Ga., but re
cently connected with the Underwood
campaign headquarters in Washington,
D. C.
She presented Watson’s proxy and
was given his credentials, but under
the instructions governing the delega
tion has had no opportunity to vote.
As proxies are not allowed it Is prob
able that the delegation will not recog
nize her suffrage If there is ever a
wood which at this time does not seem
break from the unit rule and Under»
likely.
Victory for Wilson
Expected to Come
Monday Afternoon
BY RALPH SMITH.
CONVENTION HALL, Baltimore,
July 1. —Wilson’s campaign managers
and floor lieutenants confidently pre
dict the nomination of the Jersey gov
ernor before the day is over. They
say that nothing can now check the on
ward rush of Wilson. They expect
that he will show steady gains until he
has a clear majority of the convention.
Following this they believe it will be
a comparatively easy matter to make
the necessary acquisitions to Insure his
nomiation if, indeed, there is not a
stampede to Wilson. ...
. . Today’s balloting haa demonstrated
the question that Clark is out of the
race. It is too late now to rally his
forces. Illinois is ready to desert
Clark, and so is California, according
to reports. Only the influence of W.
B. Hearst is holding these delegations
in lie for Clark, and there 1 sa rising
tide of sentiment in each delegation to
come over to Wilson. It is possible
when the “break” comes in Illinois that
Underwood will receive a few of the
votes, hut the great bulk of them will
go to Wilson.

WALL STREET VOTE
OF El. DELEGATION
BEOIIKEDBY HOOSE
Amendment Adopted In Which
Democratic Stand Against
Influence of Ryan in Conven
tion Is Indorsed
The house Monday morning Indorsed
the protest of the national Democratic
convention against the influence of Wall
street by adopting an amendment that ,
Mr. Ault, of Pope, and others insisted
was a rebuke to the Georgia delegation
for its opposition to William Jennings
Bryan’s resolution pledging the conven
tion not to vote for any candidate put ’
forward by Ryan, Belmont or other mil
lionaires representing the Wall street in- . g
terests. This amendment was adopted
by a vote of 82 to 67, despite the oppo
sition led by Mr. Ault.
All who opposed it by speeches de
clared their sympathy with Mr. Bryan’s*
resolution against the intermeddling of
Wall street in Democratic politics,' but ’
they contended on the floor that the
effect of its adoption was to censure the
Georgia delegation at the Democratic
convention.
• SHUT YOUR MOUTHS."
Mr. Peyton, of Worth, in urging the
adoption of the amendment, declared: t
’’We had a telegram thW morning froi?
a member of the delegation telling the
people of Georgia to shut their
and let the delegation take care of It
self. Some of the delegation we have
there not only take care of themselves,
but also of colossal corporations.” .
He referred to a telegram from Ran
dolph Anderson, of Chatham, in which
Mr. Anderson said that only those pres
ent at the convention can understand ;
the moves that are being made, and
that the legislature could take no wise l
or fair action uptl lit understood all. •
the facts.
The amendment was offered by Mr. I
Alexander, of DeKalb, and was append- ,
ed to a resolution in which the house ’
urged the Democratic convention .1° pro
test against the white slave traffic.
THE RESOLUTION.
Following is the amendment:
“Resolved further. That the resolution
of the national Democratic convention
protesting against the influence of Wall
street in the Democratic council meets i |
our entire approval. Its wisdom consists*
in its righteousness and courage. If the i
convention will continue in that spirit
and nominate a candidate of uncompro- •
mising righteousness and of courage that * , 3
will not falter, the American people will I j
approve its action.”
MR. ANDERSON’S WIRE.
Following is the telegram from Mr.
Anderson; ..... - ,
