subcommittee plank, declaring the
financial question out of the realm of
politics, decided to leave the question
of forming a satisfactory financial
plank to a subcommittee composed OF
Bryan, Williams and Hill. Before this
move was taken, however, sharp
debate ensued between the two fac
tions, the Hill contingent contending
for a specific declaration in favor of
the gold plank.
Bryan Is Scored.
"By what right" said Senator Dan
iel, "and under what pretense does
this man come to instruct us on an
issue which led us to defeat twice
This man, whom the democratic party
has twice highly honored, has seen
fit opick flaws in every candidate
proposed for Office to which he twice
unsuccessfully aspired. If we are 60
ing to wait for presidential candidates
until we find an angel, we had better
adjourn and go home" Bryan, who sat
on the opposite side of the table, flush
ed deeply and his tightly compressed
lips bespoke the effort he was making
at self control. ..
Daniel Called Down.
"The gentleman is out of order" 4"
sharply interrupted Acting Chairman
Tillman, I'VE cannot permit such per-
sonal illusions or vituperations"
Daniel persisted that he meant no
disrespect. He declared that he
thought the time had arrived when all
loyal democrats should be actuated by
the purest motives, and their actions
should be open to the fullest criticism.
He had favored free silver, but right
or wrong, he thought the exigencies
of the situation demanded democracy
to bow to the wish of New England
and the great empire state. "An he
rOic situation" he said, demands ne
roic remedies"
Doesn't Want It Mentioned.
Shively of Indiana pleaded that no
mention of finance be made in the
platform, asking, why raise the ques-
ton again to cause a rupture in the
party" Fleming, of Wisconsin, de-
clared he was there to oppose any
specific declaration on finance. He
said he had great respect for Hill but
could not let him lead democracy into
this act without a protest
1t Would Lose Maryland.
Pope of Maryland, declared that the
committee should remember the eff
feet of such a deliberate refusal to
incorporate financial plank in the
platform would have Without this
plank Maryland's vote could not be
had. He asked only that committee
give the great interests of the coun-
try the assurances they would not be
disturbed and declared impressively
that if the committee failed in this
duty, they would lose to democracy
the electoral vote of many states.

NEW BLOCK ON
TACOMA AVENUE

Tacoma avenue is 10 have another
brick block Work has been CONF
menced on the foundation of new
building to be erected on the corr
ner of Tacoma avenue and Thir-
teenth street for Captain Lorenz
The building will be three stories
high, of pressed brick with stone
trimmings.
This will make the second new
block to be built on Tacoma avenue
this season. The first one was start
ed several weeks ago and is now
nearing completion.
Tacoma avenue is fast taking on
a metropolitan appearance. Cement
sidewalks are taking the place of
the few remaining plank walks and
there is an air of business life and
hustle along the street.
A feature that Is becoming very
popular with the public is the Sat-
urday night band concerts inaugu-
rated by the Tacoma avenue busi-
ness men. During the hours the
concert is in progress the street is
filled for blocks with well pleased
crowd.

some would have us believe. "Parker
has ever supported the partys nomi-
nees," Hill declared "and if this con-
vention nominates another man. Park
er would support him, and / would go
back and work for Parker's choice"
Victory for Bryan.
The vote on the plank resulted in a
decisive victory for Bryan. At seven
this morning the committee was still
in session and Bailey said it might not
complete it's labors in many hours.
6ryan's Income Tax Thrown Out.
On the income tax plank Bryan re-
ceived setback. Hill opposed him
and proposed the plank be withdrawn
and though the question may be re-
newed in the fight for the reafirma-
tion of the Kansas City platform, Bry-
an was ignominiously routed.

THOMAS MOORE MAKES SENSATION
BY ATTEMPTING SELF DESTRUCTION

when Moore came running down
Eleventh street from Pacific avenue.
He climbed over the gate, and, with
out preparation or demonstration OF
any kind. leaped into the water and
disappeared. Messrs. Crawford, Bird
and Bartlett, who were at the time
at the city boat-house attending TO
their boats, at once went TO the place
where the man was last seen, and
when he came to the surface, by the
aid Of boathook, he was rescued
and drawn into the boat. This WAS
not easily done, however, as Moore
seemed determined to die and
fought hard to get away
Moore was then taken to the city
boat landing and closely watched un-
til Captain Lawrence placed him un-
der arrest and took him to the po-
lice station. Hhe made several at

FALLING WINDOW
CAUSED DEATH

The 7-year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephen Fl. Smith, 1908
South NJ street, who has been lying
unconscious at st. Joseph's hospital
for the past seven days, died at 4
o'clock this morning.
In attempting to crawl through an
open window the little fellow was
caught by the sash and nis mother
found him few minutes later, hang
ing by his neck.
He was taken to the hospital in
an unconscious condition, and, save
for few minutes on the second day,
never seemed at all conscious of his
surroundings.
The funeral services will be held

Leaps Into Channel From Eleventh
Street Bridge and Tries to
Fight Off Rcscuers.

About Z o'clock last night, Than
as Moore attempted to commit sui
eide by jumping from the Eleventh
street bridge into the water. When
boats were sent to his rescue the
man fought off the boatmen, and for
a time ii was feared he would drown
before he could be taken from the
water.
A few minutes previous to the
time the leap was made the gate on
the bridge had been closed and the
draw opened to allow the tug Falcon
to pass through. Quite a large crowd
had gathered to see the operations,

in conformity with his views. On the
trust plank Bryan's proposition for
prosecutions was incorporated by d
vote of twenty-three to twenty.
The Labor Question.
In the labor plank he and ExGov.
Thomas, of Colorado, stood together
for an amendment covering the Colo
RADIO situation. There is to be no spe-
cific reference to Colorado, but the
declaration guarantees the right of la
boring man to work when and where
he will, but declares that there shall
be no infiiction of punishment save
by due process of law.
Statehood Plank.
One of the early morning events was
the defeat of that plank declaring for
liberal appropriations for the navy. At
$3.50 the statehood plank was perfect
ed demanding separate statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico, and state
hood for Oklahoma and indian Terri
tory without specifying whether sepa-
rately or jointly.
Trust Fight Renewed.
Shortly before nine, word came from
JuG committee IOOIu bHdl tHE trust

that the committeeman were in an
other snarl. The trust plank had been
settled upon earlier in the morning,
but a resolution was ordered which
made it compulsory for corporations
before doing business in another state
to file statement to the effect that It
did not purpose to monopolise. This
brought on a new wrangle.

while at the landing but was kept
from doing so by the men who had
saved him.
Moore is about 35 years of age.
He says he is a logger, but has re-
fused to give any reason for the att
tempted suicide. He has been drink
ing heavily during the past few days
and II is thought he was under the
influence of liquor when the leap
was made.
Kenneth Kirby, of the Inland Nav
igation a. Excursion company, saw
the man leap from the bridge, and
at once started to so to his rescue.
In getting into boat Kirby missed
his footing and fell headlong into
the bay. He was rescued by fellow
boatmen at the company's dock.
Moore VIII be taken before Judge
Griffin as soon as he RECEIVERS from
the effects of his attempt at self
destruction, and measures will be
taken to prevent him from doing SO
again.
