DENOUNCES WASTE AND WANTON VANDALISM Atlanta’s Money Wasted and Property Destroyed, He Says. Big Row Precipitated. J. O. Cochran, president of the city park board, declared in an interview today that leading members of the city council had informed him that the de partment of chief of construction would squander $200,000 this year. Ht said that they had also told him that while more street work had been au thorized by council than ever before, less would be done than in several years. Mr. Cochran and the department are at daggers drawn today following a denunciation of the construction de partment by Mr. Cochran at the meet ing of the park board yesterday, when it was reported that the park plot in the center of North avenue had been mutilated by the laying of a sewer. Cochran Denounces Construction Department. "It is an outrage and indefensible,” he declared. "Not only does this de partment waste the people's money, but it wantonly destroys city property. "It reeks with Incompetency and mismanagement “It is not the fault of the city coun cil. The department never obtained authority from council to destroy this attractive flower bed. It is nothing less than an act of vandalism." Playground Row Fails to Develop The other members of the board were in accord with President Coch ran. The looked-for row over the transfer of Miss Fannie Spahr, director of Mims park playground, to the directorship of the Grant park playground did not ma terialize. Miss Mary Barnwell, super visor of playgrounds, opposed this change and a number of members of the board declared they would support her Commissioner M. B.

Ryan Del egates, Withheld From Clark, Also Given to Wilson. Facts Disprove Bryan’s Charges Against Clark. BALTIMORE. July i;—The nomination of Woodrow Wilson has exonerated Champ Clark from the malicious and untruth ful charges made by W. J. Bryan. The votes of the New York delegation were cast, for Wilson, just when they were needed to secure the nomination for him. Many Underwood delegates and the Virginia delegation, con trolled by Thomas F. Ryan, swung into line for Wilson when if became possible for their votes to nominate him. These same votes were with held from Clark when they would have nominated him. These facts utterly disprove the statement made by Bryan on the floor of the convention when he brazenly attacked Clark as the candidate of Charles F. Murphy. Ryan and the interests, and said he would support no man who had been endorsed by them. The Murphy votes were east for Clark too late to nominate him. The Ryan votes were ready when Wilson needed them. Democrats Declare They’ll Sweep Country. With the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for president and Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, for vice president, and the adoption of a progressive platform, the departing Democratic hosts from Baltimore de clare they will sweep the country next fall. It was a noteworthy circumstance that little or no bitterness marked the victory of Governor Wilson, despite the fact that the battle had been waged here in convention for over a week There was an optimistic feeling on the part of the delegates as they departed for their home. • The general opinion was I hat the wings of the party were united and the South. East and West are satisfied with the outcome. When the convention adjourned at 1.56 o'clock this morning, after one of the most desperate struggles in its his tory, the delegates felt that they had nominated the strongest ticket possi ble under the circumstances. The central figure of interest as the convention broke up was William J. Bryan, who had created more excite ment than any other man in the con vention. During the closing hours of the convention Mr. Bryan took the plat form and his last appearance before the delegates was in some respects the most spectacular of the incidents ac companying the convention. Mr. Bryan said: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: "You have been so generous with me in the allowance of time that I had not expected to transgress upon your patience again, but the compliment which has been paid me by the mem-
