WRANGLING OVER SILVER,
The Missouri Democratic State Conventio
in Condition of Turmoil.

Kansas CiJy, Mo-, May 16.-The Demo-
cratic state convention met in Auditor
ium Hall yesterday afternoon. At the
conclusion of the roll call the usual
committees on permanent organization,
resolutions, ETC., were appinted and the
convention took recess. Governor w.
J.Stone was made permanent chairman,
and Simon S. Bass of St. Louis permanent
secretary.
Last evening, while the resolutions
committee was engaged in wrangle
over the silver question, the regular Or
der was dispensed with and nominating
speeches were declared in order. These
had only fairly begun, however, when
this committee announced it's readiness
to report. A majority and minority
report were brought in, the former fav-
orine the free coinage of silver at the ra-
tito of 16 to l, and containing fierce at
tack upon thea. P. A., which Organization
it declared is fostered by tho Republi-
can party. The minority report does not
favor the free coinage of silver, and is a
practical Endorsement of the Cleveland
administra ton. AT 2.20 o'clock this
morning. the convention was still
wraneling over the resolutions, and
shortly afterward an adjournment was
taken.

Albany, N. Y, May 16.-Eugene Brady,
maniac, killed his mother, aged IS,
yesterday afternoon, in fit of violence,
and attempted to kill four other persons,
With three knives in his hand, he ran
wildly about the streets, cutting right

met.
Before the police overpowered him he
had cut his sister-in-law, Mrs. James

wounds are serious, but it is not thought
they will prove fatal. The wounds of
the others are not dangerous.

ANOTHER in BOSTON.
Government Warehouse ON State Street
a Mass Of Flames.

Alarms Came Quickly But the Flames
Reached the Roof and Windows as Soon
as the Engines Arrived-The Fire win
Probably Not spread-Loss Heavy.
Boston, May H., 1926 ANA few minutes
before three, fire broke out in the northerly
end of the Immense six story granite block
known as the State street block in that nor
tlon occupied by the United States bonded
warehouse and appraisers department. So
threatening did it quickly become that
three other alarms were rung in rapidlv.
Ihe hre, which started on the third floor,
soon made its way to the fourth, fifth and
sixth floors and the fremen found them
selves confronted by a fire of large prouor-
tions. The section of the block occupied by
the government fronts ON India street and
extends back for an hundred feet or more
on Central State streets, being filed with
heavy merchandise of all descriptions.
Smoke poured from every window above the
second story in dense cloud, choking and
greatly impeding the firemen. Just as the
fourth alarm sounded the flames burst
through the windows on the upper tories on
the front and sides, the entire inside being
apparently one mass of flames. Back of the
bonded warehouse and cutting it off from
the rest of the building is a heavy party
wall. which has thus far prevented the
flames from spreading to the large whole
sale grocery and other stores which occupy
the remaining portion of the big block.
The fire will probably be confined to the
governments section of the building. On
the opposite side of India street, in front of
the burning building, is the custom housse.
but that is in no danger.
a. m.-The fire is still burning fiercelv
but there seems now no danger Of any Other
building taking fire. The loss will un
doubtedly be heavy, but it is impossible tc
climate it tonight as the nature of the con.
tents cannot be ascertained for some time
yet.

GOTHAM PLEASURE GROUNDS.

Flames Did All the Dancing in Them Yes
terday Morning.
New York, May 16.-Fire started this
morning in one of the wooden buildings in
the enclosure known as Jones's woods, at
Avenue A and Sixty-eighth street. Before
it had been exuinguished, the flames spread
over four blocks, between Sixty-seventh
and Seventy-frst streets, Avenue A and
East river. Over $500, 900 damage was done.
The sudden changing of the wind caused
the fire to spread when the fremen thought
they had it under control. Fifty horses
were burned to death and a number of per-
sons were injured.
The first alarm was sent in at $40 o'clock
this morning. Three others quickly fol-
lowed. When the first fremen arrived the
blaze was already mounting high, and from
the commanding elevation on rock bluff,
the flames lit up the East river in an un-
precedented manner in that locality. The
city's buildings on Blackwell's island were
as plain to the view as though the high sun
shone upon them.
In spite of all the men and apparatus
that, called out by the four alarms, quickly
filled the surrounding streets, the fire soon
swept over the wooden buildings and
beautiful shade trees of the two picnic
parks, and then passed the board fence
boundaries and made way for itself
through whole block of houses of both
brick and wood and stables, too, on East
Sixty-eighth street.
The fremen found fighting the original
fire a we'll nigh hopeless task. Still they
stuck to it, but the chiefs soon saw that it
would be better generalship to wet down
the Exposed risks" as the underwriters
would say, on Sixty-eighth street. and then
they sent most of the water in that direc-
tion, but even then were not markedly sue
cessful.
Jones's Woods was a sort of twin park and
pleasure grounds, prettily wooded and
fenced in by high white palisading. The
Empire City Colosseum occupied the block
between Sixty-eighth and Sixty-ninth
streets, and Washington park that between
Sixty-ninth and Seventieth streets. Both
extend from Avenue A to the edge of the
bluff which overhangs the East river, and
are surrounded by a gallery and plaza.
Sixty-ninth street is, after it passes Avenue
A,pract:cally private street,and was span
ned.by a wooden bridge connecting the gal
1ery inssone enclosure with the gallery in the
other. Ever since the early sixties the
woods and park have been noted pleasure
grounds, fitted up with dancing payilions,
