WANTED BRYAN MENTIONED.
Lively WransIe Of Platform Commit
tee at Meeting of Indiana Democrats.


tee at Meeting of Indiana Democrats.
While the Indiana democratic state
convention, which was held at Indian
apolis Wednesday, was remarkable for
its lack of discord, candidates for all
but three OF the Offices being chosen by
acclamation, there was battle royal
In the meeting of the committee on
resolutions. A number Of the friends
of William J. Bryan were very much
in earnest in favor Of the insertion IN
the platform of plank indorsing him
and the Kansas City platform. The
majority of the committee was against
any such indorse1ent, saying that it
considered it out of place at the pres
ent time to inject Mr.. Bryan's name
into the state campaign. The fight
lasted we'll into the night, and 1t was
nearly noon before the report OF the
committee was ready for presentation
to the convention.
The Philippines plank also created
much discussion, the committee being
called upon to consider all sorts OF
propositions in behalf Of the Filipinos,
some of them being in favor OF tmme-
date and complete independence. 1t
was only after hours OF argument that
a plank was agreed upon.
The stare ticked nominated is as
follows: Secretary of state. Albert
Schoonover, Of Attica; attorney gen.
eral, w. z. Stillwell, of Princeton;
state auditor, James R. Riggs, of Sui
livan; state treasurer, Jerome Herff,
of Peru.

PATIENTS CREMATED
Sanitarium for Liquar Inebriates
Goes Up in Smoke.
TEN LOSE LIFE; THIRTY HURT
Many of the Victims Were in Strait
Jackets, or Bound Down Upon
Beds, Making it Impossible
to Rescue Them.

At Chicago, Monday afternoon, nine
men and one women were killed and
about thirty persons were injured in a
fire which destroyed the sanitarium
conducted by the Saint Luke Society,
at the corner Of Wabash avenue and
Twenty-first street. The society occu-
pied the building which was long
known as the Hotel Woodruff and for
a brief period as the Hotel Lancaster.
By far the greater portion of the pa
tients received in the instution were
those seeking cure from the drink hab-
it and those who were addicted to the
use of drugs.
When the fire broke out there was
on the fifth floor a number of patients
suffering from delrium tremens and
some who were deranged by drugs.
Several of these were strapped to their
beds and it was found impossible to
same them, so rapidly did the fire
spread through the building.
The fire originated in the basement
of the building and spread rapidly to
the upper stories through the elevator
shaft. The blaze was discovered by
passing grocer. He shouted to sew
eras men to give the alarm, and to
alarm the inmates of the building. Sev'
eral hurried to do this, but by the time
they reached the first floor of the
building the flames had been carried
to the roof. had eaten through it and
were leaping high in the air.
AS the cry of fire rang through the
building patients sprang from their
beds and before they could be prevent
ed several had jumped from the win
dows to the pavement. The fire de-
partment was on hand quickly, but
could do little toward saving the he. p
less patients.

DisGRAcEFUL CHURCH SCENE.
HowIins Mob of Women Attempt to
Break lJn Weddjnd Ceremony

HowIing Mob of Women Attempt to
Break Up Wedding Ceremony.
One of the most sensational scenes
ever witnessed in a church in Worces-
ter, Mass, was enacted at st. John
Roman Catholic church there Wednes-
day when Mary Donaher, teacher in
the public schools of Worcester, was
married to Maurice Quinn, dentist,
of Brocton. AS the wedding party en-
tered the church it was met by Kisses
from one thousand women, who had
apparently gathered for that purpose.
A detail of police was present to pro-
tect the bride and groom, but they
were entirely powerless to maintain
order. The women rushed by and
around them close to the wedding par
ty and gave vent to their feelings in no
uncertain manner. The demonstration
grew out Of the attempted shooting OF
Quinn several days ago by Miss Be-
tha Condor, who asserted Quinn had
betrayed her under promise OF mar
riage.

Value Of Charleston Show.

Value OF Charleston Snow.
While stockholders in the South
Carolina Interstate and West Indian
exposition will not be paid anything
on their contributions, statistics gath
cred by the newspapers Of the city in-
dicate that all branches of business
flourished during the six months the
show was on. Retail merchants report
that their trade increased nearly 10gs
per cent, and every hotel and boarding
establishment coined money, the
amounts in most instances running Tar
into the thousands. -
A statement made recently by the:
Consolidated Railway Company shows
that this concern cleared 1000 net
profit in six months, after expending
thousands of dollars in building new
lines and in electrical equipment.
When these facts are consideFeds
the business people begin to appre-
c!ate the value Of the exposition, and
they still figure on what might have
been had the attendance come up to
expectations. Very few reports have
been made Of losses incurred In any
enterprise established for the show
season.

ROOSEVELT AND HANNA Ct ASl.
The Political Rupture at Cleveland,
Ohio, Threatens a Serious Re-
publican Breach.

A Washington special says: Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the chairman OF
the republican national committee,
Senator Hanna, have practically sew
cred the cordial relations which have
existed between them since Roosevelt
became president.
Their quarrel is the result of charges
filed against federal officers in Cleve-
land, Ohio, by Representative Burton,
of that district.
The president is determined to in
vestigate. Senator Hanna is strongls
opposed to such course.
Friends Of both say serious break
is threatened. Burton, who is one OF
the strongest republicans in congress,
has refused to stand for denomination
because his choice for chairman OF the
Cleveland republican district commit
tee, Paul Howland, was ignored. He
filed with Roosevelt charges Of per-
nicious political activity against four
federal office holders, who are Hanna's
men.
Mr.. Roosevelt was very much sur
prised and impressed by the formal
charges, but promised no action at the
time. He sent for Senator Hanna and
asked him if the four men were guilty.
Senator Hanna replied that he had
grave doubts about it. The president
said he was inclined to Investigate and
the senator urged him strongly not to
do so, insisting that it was not viola
ton of orders for federal oflceholders
Of that class to interest themselves in
politics. The conference lasted an
hour and broke up with the president
resolved to bring an investigation, in
spite Of the wishes of Senator Hanna.
There is no telling where the Roose-
ve,t-Hanna split may end. Republi-
cans regard it as very dangerous
breach
This particular difference may not
be the beginning of the end Of their
pleasant relationship, but good many
republicans fear it may be the en-
tering wedge that will precipitate Sc
rious factional fight.
Judge Burton has gone to Warm
Springs, Va, for a rest. Advices from
there tell of host Of kilograms from
Cleveland urging him to reconsider his
determination to retire from congress,
and it is said that Mr.. Abel, whose ele-
vation to the craftsmanship has caused
the trouble, has gone to see Judge Bur
ton to try to smooth things over.

REvoLvERs, KNIVES AND CLUBS.
Welded PromiscuousIy in West Vir-
qinia Republican Convention.

Welded PromiscuousIy in West Vir-
ginia Republican Convention.
Te!egrams from West Virginia tell
of bloodshed and desperate fighting
between the factions of the republican
party Of that state over the senatorial
contest. Senator Scott, who is vice
chairman of he republican national
committee, is being bitterly opposed
for reelection by Colonel j. L. Cald-
we'll, a millionaire republican Of Hunt
ington. There have been many clashes
between supporters Of the two men,
the worst of all occurring at the sixth
district senatorial convention at Welch
Saturday. Revolvers, knives, clubs and
other weapons were used during the
progress of the conventions delibera-
tions, and as a result Colonel ]. M.
Fuller, one of the wealthiest and most
influential citizens Of Wayne county
lies at a hotel probably fatally injured,
and a dozen more persons have black
eyes and sore heads.
The trouble came about over the Sc
lection Of a chairman Of the conven-
ton.

POLICE TAGGED OUT
Strikers Give Chicago BlueceatS
All Kinds of Trouble.
MANY RIOTS; MUCH BLoODSHED
Murderous Attack is Made on Negroes
Imported to Take Place of Strik-
ers-?art Of Demands
Acceded.

A Chicago special says: Driven by
men covered with dust and blood,
many Of them barely able from ex-
haustion to hold the reins in their
hands, thirty-six meat wagons entered
the main gate of the Union stock yards
Thursday night amid a shower OF
stones, bricks, bottles and sticks. The
wagons, guarded by five police wag-
ons, filled with bluecoats, and TWO ON
nibuses crowded to the fullest capacity
with policemen, were on the return OF
a delivery of supplies to downtown
provision houses, after one of the fierc-
est days in tho strike of the beef pack
ers' teamster1. Many of the drivers,
who are officials at the packing houses,
were cut and bruised from head to
foot. The police we're in even worse
condition.
At the very entrance Of the stock
yards Wednesday night, after all seem
ing danger had passed. George June,
an employe of the Anglo-Amerlcan
Packing Company, was struck by a
baseball bat and knocked from his
wagon seat. He was picked up in an
unconscious condition and it is believ-
ed he may die. Many others were
struck at the same time by a shower
of stones, but the police were too worn
out to offer resistance.
More than a dozen battles were
fought during the day between the
rioters and the police and the hospit-
ais are overcrowded with the injured.
Attack on Imported Negroes.
A pitched battle occurred between
a crowd of negroes imported from S..
Louis to take the place Of the striking
stockyard teamsters and the strikers
at Forty-ffth street and Center avenue
early in the day, in which six negroes
were badly inquired, two mortally. The
SUBS were driving wagons when they
were assaulted. Many Of their assail-
ants were armed with ice pike poles
they had seized from ice wagons, and
in the fight the negroes were badly
lacerated by these weapons. One man
had his thigh broken and another was
injured internally. The imported ne
groes number about fifty.
May Effect Compromise.
After four hours of consultation
early Thursday, in which the question
of recognition Of the union was thor
oughly discussed, an agreement re-
garding wages and hours was decided
on. The representatives of the pack
ers conceded the demands OF the strik
ers on these two questions, but were
obdurate in their refusal to recognize
the strikers union. It is believed that
compromise may be struck on the
question of wages and hours.

Company to the state court for trial.
The point was raised by Attorney Gem
eral Bellinger that in doing business
in South Carolina the chemical COM
pany is openly violating the antitrust
law recently passed. While the COM
pany was chartered under the laws OF
New Jersey it had to file papers con-
forming with the state regulations, and
in this the issue is raised that the
antitrust law Is violated.
The case has not yet come up for
trial on it's merits. When suit was
brought in the state court the Vir-
ginia-Carolina Company had it re-s
moved to the federal jurisdiction, and
efforts are now being made to have IT
remanded. A great deal Is involved
and counsel for the defendants aliege
that they would have little show II left
to the mercy of state courts, which
would have to act in conformity with
the antitrust law. Other concerns
are brought into the trial, although the
chemical company is put down as the
real defendants In the cause.

CHURCH SHOWED RESENTMENT.

Arkansas Governor Taken Into the
Fold by His Home People.
Governor Jefferson Davis, of Arkan-
sas, accepted the invitation of the
Baptist church of Russellville, his
home, and joined that church Sunday.
The governors friends claim that this
is a vindication of him by his home
people against the action Of the Sec
ond Baptist church Of Little Rock, in
Withdrawing fellowship from him. 1t
is alleged by the governors friends
that tn eaction taken by the Little
Rock church was the result Of resent
ment for the part he took in the race
for United States senator.

First Game Law Vioiator.

The Western Carolina Game Asso-
citation, with headquarters at Green
vile, has the honor Of bringing to JUS
tice the first violator Of the game laws
who has been convicted in this state
in many years.
The law prohibiting the sale Of quail
until 1905 has been fagrantly violated
by hotels and restaurants. William
Serving, the proprietor of restaurant
in Greenvills vas convicted before
Magistrate krSee Of selling quail, and
fined. He appealed to the court OF
sessions, and now that court has con-
firmed the magistrates fine.
This conviction and punishment may
give heart to sportsmen In other parts
of the state and will have some effect
on the game dealers next winter.
