PARKER MEN CONTROL
Hearst Men Walk Out of Iowa Demo-
cratic Convention.

Iowa City, Ia, July 19.-The Par
ker men are in complete control of the
state Democratic convention which
convened here today. There was a
feeble effort on the part of the old
silver crowd to rally around some of
their leaders. but this was dispelled
early in the day and only Parker and
anit-Hearst men are left to carry out
the work of the convention. The eau
cuSes held prior to the convention
were lively The Eighth district had
an interesting time when the resigna-
ton of ex-Chairman Maxwell one of
the strong supporters of Hearst, as
district committeeman was presented.
1t also included his resignation as
chairman of the state committee. His
resignation as district committeeman
was accepted, but not as chairman.
The Sixth district was entirely in the
hands of the opponents of Charles A.
Walsh, and he left the caucus before it
was half over. The committee on
resolutions is made up strongly of
Parker men.

Carter Harrison Wants to Get Both
on Same Platform.

Esopus. N. Y, July 19.-Esopus took on
new atmosphere today with the arrival
of the first train bringing New York
newspapers. The conference of New
York Democrats. held last night at the
Hoffman house was the subject of keen
est interest. even to the villagers, who
hitherto have been content in the knowl-
edge of Judge Parker's nomination with
out bothering about any of the details
connected with his campaign. The judge
himself showed an interest beyond his
usual calm and at breakfast read the
newspaper accounts of the conference with
close attention, but, as usual, without any
comment which could reach the newspa-
per men.
A report is current that there will be
an effort to get Judge Parker to begin
his campaign in the middle west with a
speech at Chicago soon after the notif1ca-
ton ceremonies. 1t is understood that
Mayor Carter H. Harrison of Chicago is
anxious, not only to have the first gun
of the campaign fired in Chicago, but to
have Judge Parker and w. J. Bryan on
the platform together upon that occasion
OF course nothing definite. on that sub
ject can be learned here, for Judge Par
ker absolutely refuses to discuss any of
his plans subsequent to his notification
So far the notification is concerned
it will be held at Rosemount. Judge Par
ker intends to remain here throughout
the campaign, save perhaps for two or
three absences to make speeches in large
cities, such as Chicago, Philadelphia and
New York and possibly Boston.

GIGANTIC LAND RUSH.
Almost a Stampede Has Developed at
YanI1tOn.

Yankton, S. D., July 19.-The gigantic
land rush at Yankton has developed in
to almost a stampede. Thirty three
thousand had registered up to closing
last night. The days record was 5,055
and that will be exceeded today.
The fever for land seems to have ta-
ken possession of thousands who here
tofore had not thought of coming here
to register The crush in the city and
on trains is simply undescriba BILE.
Railroad officials say they have more
than they can haul to Yankton. Lines
of people were standing two blocks long
at closing time. The crowd was not SO
large as the number in the city last
night but the Northwestern in three
sections brought 1000 people. Hundreds
stayed up all night to be early in line.
Many Left Behind.
Omaha, July 19.-The rush to regis
ter for homestead lands on the Rose
bud agency continued today and re-
ports indicate that at the land office in
Bonesteel Fairfax and Yankton will
register an average of 5000 persons
daily until July 23, when the time for
registration expires.
Nearly a thousand persons were left
at the Omaha depot when the regular
train on the Northwestern left for
BonesteeI and Fairfax early today and
another section was sent out to carry
those unable to secure accommodations
on the regular train.

SEES GOOD IN IT.
Bryan Discusses Effect of Parker's
Possible Election.

Chicago, July 19.-William ]. Bryan
passed through Chicago today for CEN
trail Illinois. He said that in this week s
issue of his paper he would fulfill the
promise he made last week in "out-
lining plan of continuing the fight for
economical reform within the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Bryan said:
The election of Judge Parker instead
of interfering with these reforms will
open the way for a successful fight by
ridding the country of Imperialism, by
removing the race issue and by substi-
tuting the spirit of peaceful progress
for the military and warlike spirit en-
gendered by the actions and utterances
of President Roosevelt. My statement
is intended to encourage the reform ell
ement in the Democratic party by
showing that the fight, instead OF be-
ing over has in reality just begun

Kansas City, Mo-, July 19.-The Rock
Island road has just perfected plans to
treble its yard capacity in Armourdale

miles of storage tracks. A big round
house and an elevator are also among
the improvements, the latter to have a
storage capacity of nearly a million
bushels.
John F. Stevens, second vice presi-
dent of the Rock Island, who is on a
general inspection tour of the system,
was in Kansas City yesterday and look
ed over the company's property here.
Mr.. Stevens said the big problem now
was to handle the grain crop, and the
Rock Island had cars and engines on
every siding in Kansas waiting for the
grain to begin coming in.
1.-The improvements here" he said
will be made very soon. At this time
the company has an immense lot of
work under way and it takes time to
get around to all of the jobs.
