STEAM TURBINE IS
MAKING PROGRESS
THE BIRMINGHAM INVENTOR RE-
cEIvEs TWO ADDITIONAL PAT
ENTs FROM cANADA-A PLANT
TO BE ERECTED HERE.

James Wilkinson, inventor of the VIII
kinson steam turbine, has received two
additional patents from Canada. making a
total of over twenty-five in this and other
countries. Mr. Wilkinson states that he
has four competent firms of patent
attorneys now continuously employed,
bringing out his patents In America and
Europe These attorney are located In
Birmingham. Washington. d. c.. London.
England, and Paris, France.
Recent action of the United States patent
office allows him patent on a "locomo-
tive steam turbine'--a thing heretofore
considered impossible by engineers. II a
success, this will revo1utionize railroad
equipment and construction.
The absence of vibrations will, it is
claimed, render more durable not only the
engines Themselves, but the cars and
track. The turbine being a regular pull
Ing, high speed. powerful engine, 1t is esti-
mated that the speed of trains can be
doubled and the dangers lessened at the
same time.
Mr.. Wilkinson is now able and about
ready to make turbines of the following
types:
l. Stationary engines for power plants,
pumping stations, blast furnaces, fac
tories, and all other service, large OF
small
2. Marine engines for the propulsion Of
all classes of vessels, whether merchant
men or men-of-war.
8. Locomotive engines for traction work
whether for light or heavy traffic.
To manufacture these and all auxiliary
machinery and appliances will require ar
immense plant and Birmingham will
doubtless be its home. Mr.. Wilkinson Is
backed by a strong company of Birming-
ham men.

sidered by the committee on permanent
organization before selection is made.
The exposition, summer gardens,
Fourth of July celebrations and other
attractions won out over politics large
ly in the contest for the attention of
delegates Every train brought in
hundreds of politicians who. after TAX
ing possession of their hotel accommo-
dation, pursued their individual tastes
in seeking holiday pleasures. There
was little of the political programme
to hold the visitors.
Caucuses of the various state dele
cations generally went over until today
or Wednesday.
Around the Jefferson hotel, where the
Democrat committee was in all day
session considering the manner in which
contests were to be heard, there was
little diminution in the crowd. The
Hobbies were filled with persons who
awaited with great interest the result
of deliberations. The subcommittee was
named to hear the contests and waiting
crowds gained no substantial informa-
ton to reward their patience.

RumOr That Several FavOrite
Sons Will Retire.
German Votes Now Expected to
Go to Parker.
ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
1t Is Claimed New Yorker VIII
Have a Majority.
After That the Nomination Will
Be Easy.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 5.-At a meet
ing of Tammany leaders this morning
it was practically decided that all OPP
position to Judge Parker would be
withdrawn. This decision will be given
out definitely during the day, but is
received now on the best of authority.
ST. Louis, Mo-, July 5, 10 a. m.-The
day before the convention brought hot
and murky weather. For the first
time the streets and hotels took on a
pre-convention air. The early morn
ing trains brought in belated delega-
lions and marching clubs, and the
hotel Hobbies and dining rooms devel-
oped scenes of congested crowds and
accompanying discomfort.
The general situation as affecting
the outcome of the convention re-
manned unchanged. The strong lead
developed by Parker yesterday, en-
phasized by the action of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation at its late night ses-
sion, naturally provoked some inquiry
as to whether a stampede would fol-
low. There was some gossip about
the hotel Hobbies that several of the
favorite sons would withdraw during
the day, but this has not taken any
definite shape.
The Parker managers said last night
that they hoped the instructed states
would hold on the first ballot for their
UuI the ACTION Oh HenISyI-
Vania is admittedly. a serious blow to
the efforts of the .'favorite sons" and
this morning the air was full of sugges-
lions that Hearst and Olney and Wall
should take steps to relieve the dele
gates instructed for them. Whether
anything of this kind will be done re-
mains to be seen.
The Parker managers are confident
that the New York man will show a
clear majority on the first ballot and
that following the precedent of all for
mer Democratic national conventions,
this showing would Immediately bring
into line a sufficient number of states
to give him the necessary two-thirds of
the total vote of the convention. Such
a result, it is urged, would be simply.
following the historic record of the
party at their national conclaves.
1t is practically conceded that the
German vote, as aaresult of Pennsyl-
vania's action, will be cast on the initial
ballot for Parker.-~f this--is followed
by like action on the part of any other
recognized candidates then the result
may prove as some of the leaders as

MANY FOR SECOND PLACE.
Democrats Want Strong Man Against
Fairbanks.

ST. Louis, Mo-, July 5.-Within the
last "a hours there has been as much
talk almost of the candidate for vice
president as there has been on the
head of the ticket. This in part is due
to the fact that a dozen state delega-
lions have put forward the names of
favorite sons.
The desire and determination is to
try to match Senator Fairbanks with
a man of equal standing and ability in
the second place on the national
ticket.
So far as is known, there is not now
an avowed aspirant in the race, and
everyone admits, of course, that the
nomination will be governed to some
extent by the selection of. the candi-
date for president. Geogra phical in
terest will cut some figure. In the
aImos certain event that the cOnven-
ton goes to Parker of New York for
the standard-bearer, his running mate
would, undoubtedly, be taken from
the middle west
The names most prominently men
toned are those of Gen. John C.
Black of President Roosevelts civil
service commission, and Marshall
Field, both Chicago men, E. C. Wall
and David S. Rose of Wisconsin, Ben
jamin F. Shiverly and John w. Kern
of Indiana, David r. Francis of Mis-
souri,, and John r. Mclean and judi
son Harmon of Ohio.

CLIMB INTO BAND WAGON.
Delegates Decide, by 5
to 5. to support Parker.


St Louis, July 5.-What is consid-
cred the beginning of a stampede TO
Parker took place in the action OF
6he Pennsylvania delegation in adopt
ing by a vote of So to a resolution
instructing the chairman of the dele
cation to cast Pennsylvania's sixty
eight votes in the convention for
Judge Alton B. Parker. This vote
was the result of the first ballot in the
caucus of the delegation.
The caucus was presided over by
State Chairman Hall, the roll call
showing sixty-two of the sixty-eight
delegates present. Colonel James NJ.
Guffey was chosen chairman of the
delegation; p. G.. Meek, secretary.
Colonel CSuffey was made a membe
of the national committee.
The action of Pennsylvania in voting
to support Judge Parker almost en-
tirely changed the situation, so far as
the divided sentiment in the New
York delegation was concerned. SEN
atOr Hill was led to remark that, with
another small concession, Judge Par
ker would be chosen on the first bal
lot. William F. Sheehan, who has
been the active leader of the Parker
forces, and August Belmont depre-
Gated this and argued that it would
be wise to allow the other states to at
least have the honor of naming in
convention their favorite candidates.

contest over the platform and the sec
ond place on the ticket afford a great
deal of interest when fought out in the
convention itself, the majority of dele
gates and those who come to see a con-
vention and shout for their favorite are
almost wholly interested in the head of
the ticket The result is an air of
apathy pervades the Hobbies and other
places where the rank and file assem-
bic.
A real contest on the platform is as
sured. No one yet knows what the
platform will be. but it is known that
the majority draft will prove unsatis-
factory to Bryan and his followers and
there are enough of them to make an
interesting fight on the floor of the con-
vention.
The developments before the commit
tee also indicate that Bryan will be
in evidence when the report of the COM
mittee on credentials is presented In
this connection considera BILE interest
was expressed today in the fact that
the candidate for president in the last
two campaigns should secure a proxy
in the national convention for the pur-
pose of championing a contested case.
Bryan was engaged during the day with
callers, many of them representing
aspirantS for presidential nomination.
He discussed the situation with all of
them but committed himself to no one.
Among his visitors were some members
of the North Carolina delegates VINO
insisted that MIR. Bryan should state
in definite terms whether it was his
purpose to bolt the ticket in case it
should not be to his liking
He only replied that he would answer
that question when the ticket was
named.
The selection by the committee of
John Sharp Williams for temporary
chairman seems to give general salts
faction. No determination has been
reached as to who will be permanent
chairman but several men nave been
suggested and possibly all will be con-

VIRGINIA LINES UP.
Delegation Instructs Chairman to Cast
Entire Vote for Parker.


ST. Louis, Mo-, July 5.-The Virginia
delegation which arrived today saw in
an evening paper yesterday that they
were for Senator German for president.
They all signed this declaration, written
by Senator Daniel:
The chairman is hereby instructed
to cast his vote of the delegation for
Alton B. Parker as long as his name is
before the convention
When the delegation met later they
formally resolved in the same sense.
Instructed for Parker the Texas del
egation at it's meeting today had only
to organize and elect officers. The
meeting was entirely harmonious, and
although no formal resolutions were
passed the unanimous sentiment of the
delegation appeared to favor con-
servative platform.
r. Nj. Johnston was elected national
committeeman, Senator Bailey member
of the resolutions committee and T. w.
Gregory, member of the credentials
committee. The delegation did not
commit itself on the subject of the vice
presidency. Representative R. T. Ball
was selected to second the nomination
of Judge Parker and G.. H. Smith to
second the nomination of the vice pres
idential candidate.
Inquiry among the North Carolina
delegation shows that Parker sentiment
predoninates and as the delegation is
subject to the unit rule the Parker men
say it is assured that when the delega-
ton meets tonight it will be decided
that the entire vote of the delegation
shall be given
